Dog Sitting in Tavares

About: I began watching dogs in my neighborhood about two years ago and have LOVED it since. I do all breeds and sizes! I am capable of watching multiple dogs at once if needed! Despite me working part-time in Mount Dora and in Clermont, neighbors and I have always found a way to work around it, whether I come right before/right after a shift or just simply depending on their dog’s own capabilities. In Mount Dora, I am typically only gone for about a maximum of 5-6 hours, while Clermont may be a little over 8. When watching inside the homes of my clients, I ensure to keep attentive focus on the dog(s) at all times. I ALWAYS use a leash when letting them out unless it is already a fenced in area. On walks, I use caution and stay alert with other possible dogs walking. I try to keep distance if I know a dog is reactive by either moving to the other side of the street or simply turning and walking the other direction.

About: I am an animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and other animals. I am home full time, so dogs are never left alone and receive constant attention. I share my home with three happy dogs—Shadow, Sasha, and Misha—who are part of my family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving stay for your dog while you are away. I speak English and Spanish, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, with extra care and lots of love. I am home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine is flexible and centered around the dogs in my care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Because I am home, dogs are never left alone for long periods and always receive consistent love and monitoring. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment in my home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and special needs. I can separate dogs if needed and always supervise interactions. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a clean space, and prioritize each dog’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being at all times.

“Couldn’t be happier. My dogs mean the world to me! It was difficult to leave them with someone to take care of them. If opportunity presents itself I won’t hesitate to call Rinske again. It was a pleasure to meet her. Thank you”

About: We come from a loving pet family and love meeting new ones. My name is Mike, my wife is Ruby, and our son Lincoln, who is now in the Navy. We treat our two dogs like children. There are toys all over the house to play with and whenever they are tired they lay on our recliners or couch to sleep. We are able to follow any schedule and can provide medication if needed. Your loved ones will be treated like family ❤️ I will provide hands on care such as playing, walking or anything extra required. There will always be either myself or my wife at home. I work during the week days but my wife Ruby is home during the day. During the weekends we both are home. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by that we can walk to. Our two male dogs are neutered and we will only care for one family's pet(s) at a time.

“Christian was great!. He was on time and everything went very good having him over and taking care of our dog!. He was sweet and kind to our dog. We will rebook with him for sure for next time.”

About: I volunteer with cats and dogs at Leesburg Humane Society. I work one day a week at an up-and-coming petting zoo. D Ranch has goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, and dogs. I am currently semi-retired, and I have time and love to offer your dog or cat. I will treat each animal with great care and respect. I will treat your home and pets with great respect and professionalism. I have reliable transportation. Safety of your fur baby and myself will be a great priority.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, and providing lots of love and attention, I treat every dog like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. With my open summer schedule, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m available throughout the day to give your dog the attention and care they deserve. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I truly enjoy spending my free time with furry friends! Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pet. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease, just like part of the family. I follow feeding routines, provide fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, and lots of playtime and affection. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s familiar environment and stick closely to your routines and instructions. I make sure they feel secure, entertained, and loved while you’re away, keeping stress to a minimum. Cleanliness, communication, and care are always top priorities.

About: I am a loving mom to four of my own fur babies of various ages and breeds. I take pride in making sure they are happy and healthy. I work part-time and love spending time at home playing and cuddling with my fur babies. I have had the pleasure of taking care of several of my friends babies and would love to be there for you too. I spend lots of time exercising and socializing my babies. Lots of walks, trips to the dog park and enrichment toys. If they're happy, I'm happy 😊

“Rachel was fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with photos. It's clear that she is an animal lover; she took her time and never rushed. I didn't have to worry about anything while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’ve taken cared of my neighbors , family , and friends pets. I love animals of any kind. I will gladly take care of them with what you want. Give me instructions and I’ll do it. I’m willing to do evening walks after 5:30pm on weekdays if anyone needs I know it’s not set on my calendar. I also love photography so if you’re wanting me to take a couple of pictures for you, I sure can do that. I need to practice so the photos would be free of charge :) I currently work at Merritt Animal Clinic in Eustis from 8 am to 5pm on weekdays except Thursdays and weekends. I can do walks after 5:30 on weekdays but anytime on Thursdays and weekends if I’m not too busy. I will be happy working with your fur babies 😁 I have a male dog. I cuddle with Toby everyday. My yard is fenced and they are watched 24/7. I will wrestle and play with dogs bigger than me as if I’m a dog. Cats are amazing to lay with as well. I only now have a Chihuahua and he’s very needy so any needy animal won’t be a problem for me at all. I love you snuggle up and play with the pets.

“Pat was EXCELLENT. Absolutely perfect. She communicated with me before, during & afternoon. She spent a lot of time with the girls and they were very happy when I got home. I could tell they were well taken-care of. I will be booking Pat again. She is so kind and so loving. She really cares about the animals.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs all my life. I’ve volunteered at the Lake County Animal Shelter before. I am patient and loving with animals. I’m currently available and flexible with my schedule. Call me or text me for any additional details regarding scheduling. Looking forward to working with you. I don’t currently have pets. So I can give all my attention to your furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard so leashes are required.

About: If you want to get away for that well deserved vacation or just a 3 day weekend and feel secure in knowing that your fur babies are being lovingly cared for, then I’m just who you’re looking for! I have loved dogs (and most animals) my whole life. I think of them as a family member, not as a pet. I will remain calm around your loved one as not to cause any anxiety. Even though I don’t have a dog at this time, I have had many dogs throughout my life. I can hardly remember a time that I didn’t have one. My best friend (a Boxer named CC) had quite a few medical problems from 2010 through 2015 and I had to give her an average of 17 pills a day. (Sometimes less). So I’m pretty experienced as far as that goes. My schedule is very flexible and I am very reliable. I am flexible about allowing your pet on furniture. If that’s not allowed I will follow your wishes 100%.

“Janine did a fantastic job caring for my two cats! She obviously loves animals and is very patient with them. One of my babies is diabetic and needs insulin injections. I felt very comfortable leaving her in Janine's capable, experienced hands! Janine was able to come in twice a day to ensure that both of my kitties were well fed and cared for. She sent messages and photo updates, which was so reassuring. Both Pookie and Chica told me they want Janine to come back again. 😉”

About: Update! June 4th, to all my regular clients, I have officially moved into our new place in Tavares and my address has been updated on my profile as well so when you book your stay, it will direct you to our new address. Thank you guys so much for constantly booking with me it means so much to our family! We absolutely love your pets! Here's some info about me to anyone who hasn't booked with before☺️ 🩷I always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’m a stay at home mom so I will be home the whole time with your fur babies! We typically get up around 6am so for your pups who are used to early morning potty breaks we got you covered! We live in a house with a fenced in backyard so plenty of space for your pups to run around! I have 3 kids also who love animals and will keep them very entertained as well!

About: I have one dog that is turning 5 and have had her for over 4 years. I have taken care of other dogs in the family as well. I also have stayed over nights for extended family pets! I'm currently working part-time and in school Monday and Wednesday mornings. So I still have lots of time to spend with your pets! The safety and comfortability of your pet is my number one priority. So I will do my best to give them time to get used to me and prevent anxiety. I take my dog on several walks during the day when it isn't too hot (don't wanna burn any pet paws!) And I play with her all throughout the day. We practice tricks I've taught her and we snuggle up on the couch!
