Dog Sitting in Summerfield

About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Vanessa is great. I've booked her a couple times now and she always gives my cat the love and attention he is missing while I'm gone. Looking forward to booking her services again”

About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends, family, and newly introduced families have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I grew up around horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, goats, donkeys, and many more creatures. I am a horse-girl that never grew out of the "horse-girl phase." I've worked and lived on a farm in my younger years to specifically watch the horses, chickens, and cows on the property. I am an all-animal-lover, period. My neighbor called on me in fifth grade to help her train her golden retriever puppies. I have cared for animals post-surgery and have had to follow a specific regimen for elderly animals needing to be fed in certain ways, including giving medications. Animals are a passion of mine and a form of therapy for me. I care for all animals as if they were my own. All animals deserve love, period. Bully breeds have a special place in my heart due to the bad rap they receive. I’m currently in school, about to graduate with my masters degree and will be pursuing my doctoral degree beginning in the Fall of 2023. I will have flexibility with my schedule so I will have plenty of time for walks and playing with the furry members of your family! I am available for dog-sitting primarily on weekends, but will also be available during the weekdays to stay and watch over your furry family members. I will care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I appreciate meeting with the family before sitting or walking your furry family members as I think it is important for me to understand their specific needs. If they have a regimen they follow, I appreciate the time beforehand to learn the regimen specifically how the family prefers before staying with them overnight. I very much enjoy adhering to guidelines for your specific furry family members and want to keep them safe and loved-on while you are out of the home.

“Lola was amazing!!! She took great care of our dog while we were away and did a great job providing daily updates. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Amber was amazing with my pups!! My male dachshund can be picky when it comes to sitters, but he instantly felt comfortable with Amber. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of and received enough attention while I was away. I highly recommend Amber to take care of your fur babies! Dowdy and LeClair cannot wait to see her again :)”

“These two were absolutely great, they administered medicene,cleaned up the area, cleaned up stool, made sure the area that my elder dog used was always clean and took great care of my babies while I was away. They always checked in with me after every single visit. I 100% recommended, very professional and communicated with me well with any questions, or concerns. I felt very comfortable to leave my four dogs in their care.”

About: My love of pets started with my first dog, a beagle mix Trooper, that we got when I was five years old. From there I haven't been in a home without a pet. From Trooper to our cat, Cooper, to even our American bulldog, Faith. I've worked with pets of all shapes and sizes. This further continued to grow even past personal pets. When I was 15 years old looking for volunteer hours for college, my mom and I decided to try out fostering and re-homing dogs. Little did I know how much that would grow. Over the next 8 years me and her moved over 300 dogs through our home. The dogs ranged from the smallest chihuahua to the largest great danes. Since then I've had my rhodesian ridgeback, Mizuno, and continued loving dogs more every day. I'm a teacher so during the school year my hours are more limited, but during the summer my schedule opens up. I'm free all hours of the day and will adjust my schedule as soon as possible if need be. When in your home, my job is the dog. So I will endeavor to keep it to that. Go to the dog, do what needs to be done. I understand going into someone else's home is a big thing and treat it with the utmost respect and care.

“Breanna was an amazing, caring, gentle caregiver for my Bella. I loved her daily reports which gave me great joy and relief, knowing Bella was not just being cared for, but lovingly attended to. I highly recommend Breanna for your pet sitting needs. She even put out the trash for us!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my house my entire life. I absolutely love taking care of them! I’ve also always helped my friends taking care of their dogs and have dog sit many different breeds. I personally have owned beagles, Labradors, and golden retrievers. With my last two dogs I’ve personally been the one taking care of them mostly all the way from 8 weeks old. I absolutely love taking care of dogs and would love taking care of any breeds! I’m currently a student at University of North Carolina Wilmington. I would be available Tuesdays 12-5, Wednesdays 2-5, Thursdays 12-7, Fridays 1-7, and anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I currently cannot take care of any dogs in my home. I am living in an on campus apartment and we are not allowed to have pets.

“Erika was exceptional! She took care of our two cats for 6 days and did a wonderful job. She was reliable, consistent, and responsive. She sent us daily photos, and it put our minds at ease just knowing our kitties were being well cared for by her. She even checked in to ensure we were back home so that the cats had continued care. I highly recommend her services and would rebook with her again for sure.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 20. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, administer meds, as well as house sit. I have 1 dog (11), 2 Cats and 2 boys( trust me they count as animals). I'm a single mom, on disability and looking for extra income. As a SAHM I can accommodate almost any schedule. I moved from CT a little over a year ago, and I miss my bonus fur friends. My elderly dog won't allow me to pet sit in my home but I am willing to come to you. I also have references upon request.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and I have my own 8 year old Shih tzu who I am fully responsible for. I am a very patient, kind, nurturing, and responsible pet owner. I am also very attentive, organized, and efficient with communication. I also have experience with my own senior dog ( a Lhasa apso) who needed extra care and attention. I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am currently working part time and also have a nannying job for children about 15 hours a week. I am willing to create a schedule for what each pet owner needs during the week to take care of their pets! I have one dog at my home so I will not be able to take care of pets in my house. However, I will be sure to adjust to each owners house and their rules.
