Pet Sitting Shell Bluff

“Christine was amazing. My bog Petra loved her which made leaving her behind so much easier for us. Petra does not eat her treats for us her family but if Christine gave them to her she would eat them she felt so comfortable. I loved getting the picture updates and shared them with my boys who may have enjoyed the pictures even more than me. I will definatly be using her services again in the future. She was absolutely amazing. I can not say enough positives for her.”

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I am dedicated to providing exceptional, knowledgeable, and compassionate care for your pets while you're away. My background spans nearly every aspect of the animal industry, beginning at my family's dog grooming salon, which has proudly served the community for over 30 years. Throughout my career, I have held positions including Regional Manager of Vetco (Petco's veterinary service) for North Florida, Supervisor at Pet Paradise Resort, Large Animal Veterinary Technician, Small Animal Veterinary Assistant, and Veterinary Receptionist. I have also cared for livestock and exotics while working at an equine boarding facility responsible for over 20 horses, as well as goats, pigs, and other farm animals. My experience extends far beyond dogs and cats, allowing me to confidently care for household pets, exotic animals, and livestock alike. Whether your pet requires a specialized diet, medication administration, medical monitoring, or simply extra attention and affection, I am committed to ensuring they receive the highest level of care. In addition to my animal care background, I currently work for the Sheriff's Office. This provides pet owners with added peace of mind knowing that a trusted, responsible professional is caring for both their pets and keeping a watchful eye on their home while they are away. I maintain continuing education certifications in Canine & Feline CPR and First Aid, Equine Emergency First Aid, and numerous other animal care certifications that I am happy to provide upon request. Combined with an extensive list of highly regarded references, my goal is to make every pet parent feel completely at ease when entrusting me with their beloved animals. I am always happy to accommodate special requests, unique care needs, medications, medical conditions, and individualized routines. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or hoofed family members! With my position at work, my schedule fairly open to being very flexible with advance notice. I am happy to make adjustments as needed in order for pet parents to be happy and comfortable with the amount of visits/time spent with their pets while away. Depending on the pet parents wants/requests I am more than happy to spend extended periods of time exercising, walking, caring for their furry loved ones. I keep detailed and extensive notes on each client I have in order to achieve the highest quality/personalized care possible. Working for the local Sheriff's Office I can ensure a safe and trusted caregiver for your furry family members.

“I booked Sonia for drop-in visits and was thoroughly impressed with the level of care she provided for my cat, Oreo. From the start, she was kind, friendly, and incredibly professional—communicating clearly and consistently with thoughtful updates and included photos and videos that gave me complete peace of mind. What really stood out was how Sonia went above and beyond—taking extra steps to ensure Oreo’s comfort and health. I came home to a relaxed, happy cat and a spotless space. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Sonia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, trustworthy pet sitter.”

About: Growing up, I always had a special place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with both large and small breeds including Akitas, Huskies, Boxers, Chihuahuas, and Pomsky mixes. As I got older and moved out on my own, I owned a pitbull who I loved wholeheartedly and sadly lost to cancer in 2024. Since then, I’ve adopted two beautiful American Staffordshire Terriers from the same litter who have filled my home with love again. I truly treat every dog like family. They are welcome on the couches, in the bed, and even in the pool if approved by you! I have a fenced in backyard for safe playtime and lots of room for love, cuddles, and attention. I’m also great with teaching basic commands, keeping routines consistent, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home with the same care and respect as my own, and you may even come home to a cleaner house than you left! I genuinely love bringing happiness, comfort, and peace of mind to people and their pets. I recently moved to Florida from Buffalo and decided to start pet sitting to help fill my free time doing something that truly makes me happy. As much as I hope to help your dog feel loved and cared for, they help my heart just as much too. I look forward to meeting you and your special pup! I currently have open availability Monday through Sunday, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, love, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending my free time around animals, so your pup will never feel ignored or lonely while in my care. I am very flexible with schedules and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a unfenced backyard, but a lot of yard, lots of walking trails and sidewalks, a loving home environment, and experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities as my previous pitbull was very reactive & didn’t get along with other dogs if you have a reactive dog I completely understand! I always follow routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions provided to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

“Cheryl was great with my chocolate lab. She was very communicative with anything that came up. And even stayed little longer when she noticed Bailey was very anxious and seemed unwell. Thanks Cheryl for taking care of Bailey. Bailey had a great time with her too!”

About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.
