House Sitting Sand Key

About: 🐾 Wagging Tails, Happy Hearts, Peace of Mind While You're Apart 🐾 I have a genuine connection with animals and a love for them that is difficult to put into words. From as far back as I can remember, I've been drawn to nature and animals of all kinds—big and small. Caring for animals isn't just something I do; it's a lifelong passion that has always been a part of who I am. Throughout my life, I've rescued and cared for countless animals and have a natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pet care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. My goal is to provide companionship, enrichment, comfort, and an overall sense of well-being so your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while you're away. Whether your furry family members are staying with me or I'm caring for them in the comfort of your home, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companions. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, quirks, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and respect those details. Maintaining their familiar routines helps keep them comfortable, stress-free, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring and capable hands. **Specialized Care & Experience** I have experience caring for pets with a wide variety of unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet is shy, reactive, unsocialized, elderly, very young, disabled, recovering from illness or injury, or simply has their own special routines and quirks, I provide patient, individualized care tailored to their comfort and well-being. My experience includes: • Senior (geriatric) pet care • Puppy and kitten (pediatric) care • Special-needs and disabled pets • Reactive, fearful, or unsocialized animals • Medication administration (oral, topical, and other routine medications) • Post-surgical and recovery support • Mobility assistance and accommodations • Maintaining specialized feeding, exercise, and behavioral routines I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their preferences, triggers, habits, and routines so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you're away. ❤️ Pet care is my primary focus this summer, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules and care needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are, so I work to ensure their care fits seamlessly into their normal day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, multiple daily visits, medication, specialized attention, or full day/overnight sitting, I have the availability to provide dependable, personalized care and plenty of attention while you're away. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment that feels as close to your pet's normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard with plenty of shade for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with one senior dog and three cats who are accustomed to other animals. Depending on your preferences and your pet's personality, they can socialize with my pets or be kept completely separate. I understand that not every animal enjoys company, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. I also respect your home, belongings, privacy, and household routines, ensuring both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved whether they're staying with me or remaining in the comfort of their own home.

“Jennifer was awesome! She took such good care of my Maggie while I was away during Christmas to visit family. She sent me pictures everyday and told me what they did that day (without me even asking). That was so nice! She told me that Maggie went for a long walk everyday in addition to her being taken out several times a day for potty breaks. It was only 5 days but I swear Maggie lost at least a pound or two! (which she really needs) I was so nervous about leaving Maggie with a stranger but Jennifer was so nice and easy going. She let me come over to meet her and see her house (which was so clean and nice and comfortable I wanted to live there! lol) and her screened in porch. She listened carefully to all of my special instructions about food and medicine and all of Maggie's idiosyncrasies. (and there were alot lol) She was very patient with us! After meeting her I was able to relax because I really felt like I had someone to trust my baby with! I enjoyed my time with family without worry and that is priceless! (I worry about everything!) Thank you Jennifer! I am so grateful and I will definitely contact you next time we get to travel!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog person that likes them all, big and small! I stay pretty busy dog sitting, especially in the summer, and I'd love to hangout with your four-legged friends. I'm comfortable with cats and other pets as well, just ask! I have had dogs and cats my entire life (not currently) and have experience with several breeds and some medical issues, such as epileptic seizures. I am compassionate and caring, and love puppy snuggles (if they want to give them). I will stay in your house or come by as needed. Along with the pet-sitting, if I'm staying at your place, I'm happy to bring in the mail, roll out the trash, and even take care of your pool if you've got one! work part-time and have some flexible side work, which allows me to structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for. I always make sure I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping animals comfortable and cared for. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, so it’s an easy and fulfilling part of my routine. I care for pets in my client’s home, where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I usually stay with them and try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, cuddles, and downtime. I know being away from their family can be stressful for pets, so I focus on helping them feel safe, calm, and cared for while their humans are away.

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! I know my babies were in great hands and were loved beyond belief. Stephanie has the ability the juggle multiple pet sittings as once! She will take extra care of your animals as if they are her own. She sent pictures the whole time so I could see their furry faces! She will constantly make sure you are updated and in the loop and has a fast response time. She even went so much as to empty our garbage and empty the litter box even though she did not have to. 10/10 recommend and will be rebooking so my babies can see Auntie Steph!!”

“I am SO SO happy to have found Wendy! The dogs love her and so do I. She recently watched the dogs for a week while we were out of state on vacation, and even though I ended up with zero cell service and very spotty WiFi making it nearly impossible for me to reply to her texts, I felt completely confident and comfortable knowing that Wendy was with my babies and that they were in great hands! Thank you for loving them!”

“Taylor and Bruno were fantastic taking care of my cat Shadow. He was happy and well taken care of. Shadow gets stressed when I go away and usually winds up with a bladder infection but Taylor took such great care of him that he had no infection and was calm and stress free. I highly recommend them to watch your fur baby’s.”

I will make sure dogs and their owners feel exceptional and well taken care of after I work with them, I am interested in getting to know you and have me get to know your dogs. It's important to have someone to give attention at all times I currently work part time.

I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and we can go for long walks together.

“Stephanie stayed in our home with our two boys for 3 nights and was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures, updates and was so kind. Our hearts were at ease knowing they were in great hands while we were out of state. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“We loved having Cindy here! She took such great care of Cleo and our house looked exactly how we left it! She was also happy to help with a few things around the house while we were gone. Cindy is very easy going but so on the ball, we felt completely comfortable while we were away!”

“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”

Denise C.

“Amazing! Great communicator. Kept the animals happy and neighbors gave great feedback as well. I can’t say enough nice things! We hope she is available next time.”
