Dog Sitting Tavares

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for the past ten years! I have experience with drop in visits, walking, and over-nights. I have sat for dogs ranging from 6 weeks old to 15 years old, I even have experience with medically complex animals. I’m currently working full-time job. so I am available for morning and evening drop-in’s. For the weekends I have full availability for your furry family. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of animals. I always make the area the animals is in is safe, and I always make sure the pet is feeling loved.

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!

“Claudia is the best! Felix loved her almost from the first time she met him. She spent quality time with him, and for once he was not "mad" at me for leaving him when I returned home! That speaks volumes. I highly recommend Claudia!”

“Lauren was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and needed to find a dog sitter. Lauren was trustworthy, dependable, knowledgeable, kind and genuine. We needed drop-ins for 2 days and she sent me check-ins, pictures and videos. She loved on our pooch and even left us some dog treats after her last visit. So sweet! We highly, highly, highly recommend her!”

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!

About: I’ve always loved animals, exactly the reason I’m a chicken father of 4. I enjoy taking care of my animals to the best of my abilities, so I figured I could extend the love and quality care I give to my animals to yours. I know it can be a challenge to find a pet sitter or walker that’s right for you. And even more difficult to find one you can trust with your four legged loved ones. If you ask my chickens, they’d say go with me (maybe just to overthrow my house but they do still agree I’m your guy). I’m capable of caring for dogs, puppies, senior dogs, most reptiles, hermit crabs, rodents, and cats. If your loved one has any special needs I’m more than happy to fulfill them. As of right now I’m free almost every day. Whether it be morning, noon, night, or for multiple days I have plenty availability for your little guys. I care for your pets, so if there’s anything in particular you wouldn’t want your animal doing just let me know! Other than that I ensure your bundle of joy is safe at all times.

“Jack did an excellent job with our puppies. He showed up on time and gave lots of love and play time. Thank you!”

About: we currently have 3 cats, and will have our second GSP at the end of February! our lives revolve around them! I work from home so they are constantly with me and I am able to give them the time and freedom they need! I work from home so my day looks like whatever I need it to, I spend most of the day working from my office taking breaks to let me animals out whenever they need! I am completely flexible! However my clients need me to! Our animals are allowed to roam freely in our home wherever they wish, my cats are both indoor and outdoor and use a liter box! My dog is house trained as well as behavior trained, follows commands and uses a kennel when we are not home for her safety!

“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: 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%.

About: I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care — that’s why I provide a safe, structured, and loving home environment where pets are treated like family, not “boarded animals.” I provide in-home pet care with a strong focus on safety, routine, and individualized attention. My home is designed to offer a calm, supervised environment where pets feel secure, understood, and comfortable throughout their stay. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in personal, rescue, and foster settings. I have worked with puppies, seniors, anxious pets, large breeds, and high-needs cases requiring rehabilitation, structure, and behavioral support. I also have extensive medical experience, including administering insulin for diabetic pets, subcutaneous fluids, oral and injectable medications, and specialized topical treatments. I am confident and gentle when caring for senior and medically complex pets. Fluent in English and Spanish, with additional working knowledge of Korean, I am able to clearly communicate and follow detailed care instructions from a wide range of pet owners.

Because I operate my pet care business from home, my daily schedule is fully centered around the pets in my care. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured routines, and timely attention throughout the day. Pets are never left unattended for extended periods. My schedule is built around feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, medication routines, and rest periods to ensure each pet receives reliable, attentive care in a calm and stable environment. Safety and structure are a top priority in my home. My property is fully fenced with additional enclosed outdoor areas designed for safe, controlled activity suited to different sizes, ages, and temperaments. Pets are always supervised in a calm, structured environment where their safety and comfort come first. This includes active oversight throughout the day to ensure each pet is secure, accounted for, and emotionally at ease. For the safety of all animals in my care, I do not accept reactive or aggressive dogs. Each pet is carefully screened through a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility and a safe, balanced environment. My own pets are professionally trained and well-socialized, contributing to a stable and peaceful home atmosphere.

“Madolin was great. Updated me throughout the trip on her timing and sent photos. Zella seems very happy and was certainly well cared for.”
