About: I love to spend time with cats and dogs alike and enjoy their personalities. I can give them food and pet them all day or work with whatever your specific needs are. Currently working part time with a flexible schedule so am available morning,noon,or night. Just let me know what works best for you and I will be there. Due to so many cancellations I will ask for gas compensation to meet unless you book me ahead of time or you’re real close by. I can do whatever you request take your dog for a walk, pet and play with them. Clean them up in the bath. Or just sit on the couch and give them love.

“Kim is a HUGE animal lover. She treats my dog like it is her own; with lots of love, kisses, snuggling and playing in the outdoors. I've observed her take exquisite care of the farm animals she is responsible for. Each chicken and duck has a name and she cares for them so that they feel cared for and safe.”

About: Hello! I’m Jess, and I absolutely love each and every dog I meet! They ALL deserve as much love, care, and attention as we can possibly give them. 😀 My experience with dogs is broad and diverse: in addition to my years of dog sitting experience, I’ve raised my own happy and healthy dogs from puppyhood to the end of life and all kinds of circumstances in between; I’ve had extensive experience with dogs who have special needs, and I’ve successfully worked through a variety of behavioral challenges with rescue dogs. Your baby is in good and loving hands! I work from home, so I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate your dog’s needs and give them LOTS of love and attention throughout the whole day! I am totally devoted to the animals in my care, and I build my schedule around their needs. My style with pets is warm, loving, affectionate, and relies on positive reinforcement, praise, and mutual trust rather than punishment. My goal is to create a comfortable, secure environment for each dog so they can absorb and emit a similar sense of ease in the world.
8. Kirsten L.
“Kirsten is a very loving, caring, and thoughtful dog person. Ever since she owned her first dog, Penny, (a fluffy PomaPoo full of life and energy), she began taking care of other dogs. With penny, she made sure to walk her every day before school, play with her, train her, and even bathe and brush her so she could stay cute and fluffy. It seemed like taking care of Penny inspired her because eventually she started her own business walking other dogs in our local community. Eventually, she became very passionate about sports and classes and she was unable to keep up with the walks but she's motivated more than ever to start again. Her unbridled passion for dogs is only matched by her hard work.”

Heather asked all the right questions to understand our dog and her needs and was a great communicator both prior and during her dog sitting time. Without a doubt, we would use Heather's services again when the need arises. We highly recommend her!”
17. Tristan J.
About: I have grown up with large dogs since I was a young child. Growing up I frequently took care of relatives' animals when they were out of town. 3 years ago, in college, I adopted my own dog when he was 6 months old. He was completely untrained and afraid. I am proud to say that he and I both put in so much work into his training. I housebroke, leash-trained, and recall trained him on my own. He knows multiple commands and gets along with dogs of all sizes. He is one of the most important things in my life so I completely understand the love and care pet owners have when it comes to choosing care for their animals! I currently work part-time and am a law student (online). I do school from home in the evenings and spend a few hours each day studying. I am available to make 2-3 visits to your home for walks/potty breaks. I have a small fenced yard, quiet neighborhood, nearby dog park, 5 minutes from Hendry's beach. My dog is large but very gentle with small dogs and puppies. He also loves to rough house with dogs his size but is never too aggressive.

20. Caroline S.
