Pet Sitting Sand Key

About: As a devoted pet sitter, I bring enthusiasm, care, and reliability to every pet | look after. I understand that each dog/cat/pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship and love. With a strong sense of responsibility and a genuine passion for pets, I ensure your friend feels happy, safe, and well-cared for while you're away. Your pet's comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. I work from home and I have exceptional flexibility for pet sitting, house sitting and dog walking services. I can easily adapt to your pet's specific schedule, whether they need midday walks, morning care, or evening cuddles. My work setup enables me to provide consistent attention and timely care, ensuring your furry friend feels loved and secure throughout the day. I'm available to accommodate last-minute changes or special requests, making your pet's happiness and well-being my priority. I currently do not offer pet sitting in my home. I'm happy to provide care in your home or offer other services such as drop-in visits and dog walking, depending on your needs.

About: I’ve grown up with pets and currently have a 5 year old poodle! He’s the best boy, but I’m sure your pet is great too! I make my own schedule as a piano tuner, so I have the ability to work around your schedule helping your pet whenever you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet safe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and treating your property with care. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hi! I have experience owning and caring for cats, dogs, and rabbits! I used to work as a veterinary assistant, but the field was emotionally difficult so I switched career paths. However, I still have a love and passion for caring for animals. I currently have a 6yo cat and live with a roommate that has 2 kittens and a 9yo beagle. 😊 I am a full-time student working part-time at a veterinary office. I love animals and want to fit pet care into the days I am not at work. I enjoy staying active and getting to interact with pets of all kinds so Rover is a perfect fit! I can come to your home to take care of your pets needs by providing them with food, fresh water, and interacting with them. If you have a pet that requires medication or special instructions, I don’t mind! I will always do my best to take care of your fur babies because I know you love them as much as I love my own.

“Courtney was great. My cats didn't hide when she came over they seemed to really like her. I appreciated the photo updates that she sent me. I will definitely ask her to watch them on my next getaway.”

About: I grew up as an animal girl, we always had at least one dog at a time. I watched our neighbors dogs and farm animals growing up My work days are short and my schedule is flexible. Dogs are free to roam when I’m gone if trained or I’m happy to crate them if needed. Let me know where they sleep and I’m happy to arrange. My home is fully pet-friendly and nothing reachable for them to get into. I also live right next to a trail for long walks off the hot pavement.

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.

“Mariah was very positive, and did a great job with my cat and his meds!”

“Tamara was amazing with our cat, Carol. She is normally a feisty cat who is not a lover by any means. That's not how it was with Tamara. Seeing photos (regularly, I may add) of her getting scratched behind the ears was amazing. We will absolutely, have Tamara watch her any time the need arises. We cannot say enough good things about her.”

About: As my day job requires me to go to customers homes, I see lots of dogs everyday. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. While I don’t currently have dogs of my own due to space, I love visiting my friends who do and love meeting all the four legged friends in customers homes! I am a plumber so I work M-F every week. Although I don’t have a set time I’m off work each day, it usually ends up being between 4-5 pm. No matter what I will make it a priority to get to your babies! I am also free on weekends! I always keep a cat carrier in my car just in case of emergency and my suv provides ample space for larger dogs for emergencies or walks at the park or elsewhere. I always try and make animals comfortable around me by reading body language and following any boundaries they set.

About: Hi! I’m Avery, a college student at USF and a lifelong animal lover. I’ve grown up around all kinds of pets and have experience taking care of dogs and cats of all different personalities, sizes, and ages. I am more than happy to tailor to your pets needs whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just a friend to keep company. I’m responsible, reliable, and communicative and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages to make sure you have peace of mind. I am currently doing summer classes online and babysitting. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to make arrangements. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and check-ins are easy to incorporate into my day. I do my best to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free, especially when around someone new. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other specific care preferences. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care to fit their personality and needs. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: With over 18 years of dedicated house and pet sitting experience, I provide high-quality care that gives you complete peace of mind while you are away. My clients frequently note that I leave their homes even cleaner and tidier than I found them. Because I work remotely, your pets will enjoy consistent, full-time company throughout the day. I choose not to have pets of my own so that I can remain fully flexible and available for your needs. Whether your pets love active playtime or cuddling on the sofa (house rules permitting!), they will receive abundant attention and affection. Since I work remotely, I can take as many breaks as needed to feed, walk or play with your pet. I don't have any obligations at home that would prevent me from being available and attentive to your pet. I take care of pets in their home, as I think it's less stressful for them than going to a strange, new place. Whether it is just walks and play visits or I'm staying overnight, I spend lots of time interacting with them.

“I would highly recommend Julia for your doggy’s care. She took such good care of our senior dog during her drop in visit. She was very confident in administering his meds too. He had a bond with her right away! We will be having her back when the time arises!”

“Alex took excellent care of our dog! We will definitely use him again!”
