“Jean was great with Shylah. She walked and played with her at every visit and we could tell by the pictures that Shylah was happy and well taken care of. This was the first time we did not have a problem with Shylah eating while we were away. We appreciated the peace of mind we had with Jean taking care of Shylah and we plan on using her again.”

Will definitely use her again”

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs and cats. I take pride in giving them every bit of love that I can and doing what is needed for the specific animals. Also, I will catch cute pictures of them to share with you. Dog Walking and Pet Sitting is my full time job right now. I’m available during the the day time to take your puppy out on a walk or check in on your kitties. I am here to do what is needed for your pet(s) and will follow all instructions you give. I find it best to have written instructions to look back on and have you show exactly how to care for your pet.

“Katharina is a conscientious caregiver. Our cat requires administration of an inhaler twice a day plus brushing. Sometimes he's good about taking the inhaler and sometimes, not so much. Katharina persisted with patience and kindness in getting him to take his meds. She was so good with him, I told her that Duster will miss her.”


About: With over 30 years experience caring for animals large and small. I am passionate about helping others have peace of mind while they are away knowing their babies are loved and cared for. I am actively involved in a Parrot Rescue on the board of directors to help find loving homes for abandoned parrots. No animal is too big or too small to manage from Dogs, Cats and livestock I have the care experience. I own two horses and also assist with barn care for multiple horses, dogs, cats, minis, ponies, goats, bunnies, sheep, chickens, and ducks. My experience also includes raising baby animals until they are old enough to thrive on their own. My children receive the same education and responsibility providing them with the patience, and understanding of each and every animals needs. With this my children are active members of the University of Florida 4H program. Overall my family is very respectful and loving to all animals. **New Client Special** Use my promo code for $20 off your first boarding care: Code: LAUREK86968 I currently work from home during the week so I have the opportunity to be with your pet throughout the day.

“Jenna has been amazing caring for our pets. Great communicator, very thorough and the pets adore her. We love to see the photos she sends during visits and they look so happy. highly recommended.”


About: Lifelong animal lover with two Labs. I treat every pet like family with love, patience, and presence. Experienced, reliable pet sitter. Animals naturally trust me. I bring calm, love, and fun to every visit dog, cats, big or small. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I already care for my two Labs every day with walks, playtime, meals, and lots of love, so adding in other pets feels like an extension of what I already love doing. I structure my day to prioritize their needs whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles. Caring for animals grounds me and gives me purpose, so I always make time for it. I care for each pet like they’re my own. I follow their routines closely; meals, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining familiarity and comfort—making sure they feel secure in their space, especially while their family is away. I give lots of attention, updates, and love to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both pet and owner.

“Alexa was amazing! She cared for our pup for 12 days and truly went above and beyond—watering flowers, taking out the trash, checking the mail, and always communicating clearly. She was reliable, thoughtful, and our dog was completely spoiled. Highly recommend!”


About: I am currently raising my second labrador retriever. Jackson is a highly energetic, friendly dog that loves his friends and loves to make new friends! Additionally, to raising my own dogs, I have sat for my friend's dogs for years both in my home and in their own home. I currently work from home and will accommodate all of your furry friend's needs as best as I can! I am currently working from home and have a dog of my own that keeps me busy! I have a very flexible schedule, and I do my best to accommodate all requests. My own dog is very social and friendly. I will always make sure your dog is cared for as I would care for my own. I do not charge extra for feeding, refreshing the water, or administering oral medication. My own dog has the run of the house - he either runs around in the yard or snuggles on the couch at his leisure.

“I highly recommend Heather! Communication is everything and she was on top of it! She always let us know when she was on her way to take care of our fur baby and gave us updates after her visits. She was also very flexible on the time frame we needed the drop in visits to happen and she will send pics as well. 100% would request her again!”


About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember! We used to foster sick animals and newborns when I was younger, so we had many dogs and cats come through our house. This in turn resulted in my love for animals to grow immensely, as I wanted to provide as much love as possible to our fosters while they were with us. Currently, I have a two year old Goldendoodle who is my pride and joy. She is pampered and treated like royalty, as she deserves. I also have a nine year old cat that I adore, he is incredibly loving and affectionate. I consider your pets to be just as important as my own, and will treat them as such! I currently work from home for three days out of the week, so I have some flexibility with my schedule. Happy to discuss further with any future clients! Happy to be flexible based on the animals current routine, whether that means letting them out in the yard or taking them for a walk to use the restroom.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for wagging tails, wet noses, and happy purrs. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to your furry family, so I always show up with patience, kindness, and a big smile. From energetic pups who need an adventure to senior pets who just want gentle company, I’m here to keep tails wagging and hearts happy. 💛 Comfortable and familiar with senior, special needs, sickly, puppies, disabled, and anxious/aggressive animals. I currently remotely freelance and take online classes, so my schedule is pretty open! Please feel free to ask me questions or make requests. Let’s work something out! I will be unable to care for pets in my own home, because I feel that it is best to keep their routine as normal as possible when theirmom/dad are away! The little things matter to them - like sleeping in their own bed, in a house they know, with their own backyard, go on walks in a neighborhood they are familiar with, etc.
