“Kerri is amazing! Meeting her was a pleasure and my dog really liked her as well. Huế is very finicky when it comes to meeting new people. So I was very happy when I noticed that she liked her. I trust Kerri with my puppy and would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for six years. I currently work part-time at a local flower shop that allows for flexibility when I am watching pets. They can come to work with me if they are slower paced and like people. 😊 My husband is deployed with the Army for the next year so I'm hoping to stay busy! Blossom, my 5 year old English Bulldog, loves to make new friends. I have a big fenced in front yard for them to sniff and play. I have gained an extensive pet sitting family. My standards are high and I understand the importance of having a communicative and mindful pet sitter in your home. I have cared for all kinds of animals, in all stages of life and it has been such a fulfilling experience. I love what I do. Every animal is unique and I enjoy learning how to communicate with every one that I meet. I'm a permanent resident here in Apalachicola as of March 2025 and looking to build a new pet family. In my free time, I love visiting parks and beaches if your pup would like to join me! Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Please feel free to message me. Let's set up a meet and greet. :D I work at a local flower shop part-time. Hours are 10-5p and I live 5 minutes away. Being so close allows me to let dogs out in the middle of my shift. I look forward to building a new pet family there! Your pet’s schedule and needs are my priority. Every situation is unique and I take the safety of your pet seriously. I enjoy sending plenty of daily updates and photos.

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life. We have owned at least 1 cat since I was born and we currently have 2 cats. I have been responsible for feeding and cleaning up after them. Cats get a bad rapport sometimes, but I love them.

“Andrew did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were out of town! Andrew was extremely thorough and sent us great pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be using him again in the future!”

I have a full fenced yard and live in one of the best neighborhoods in Tallahassee. I work a full time job but always willing and able to sit or care for pets, I do work from home in my hours I do both, at home and at your own home depends on preference and pets personality, which ever you’re more comfortable with and makes the pet happy

About: Animals have been a part of my life since I can remember. I have taken that passion and built a plentiful career with a plethora of experience that allows your pet to have a safe and enjoyable experience. I currently own 5 cats but I have grown up with dogs all my life, including a beloved family pet with aggressive tendencies. Animals are not just pets, they are family, and no one understands that more than me. Here is some of my experience: - professional experience taking care of exotic animals especially reptiles and amphibians - worked a year in the veterinary field - Current pet store employee who handled pet nutrition and care I currently work full time, but that does not inhibit my ability to give my full attention to your pets when they are in my care. I have to care for my at home menagerie daily and have no issues juggling multiple duties. I can only board small mammals and reptiles/amphibians. I have room to bring in reptile and small animal cages. I have the ability to separate from my 3 cats if necessary. All 3 of my cats have been raised with Rabbits.

About: I started dog obedience at the age of 8, and also assisted my mother in breeding and showing AKC Shetland Sheepdogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up working for my mother in an established pet sitting and training business. I have since relocated to Florida and have started my on my own. I have excellent references and will care for your pet just as I would my own. I work from home and am available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. I am flexible and will work by the schedule you need. I do reside in an apartment complex where pets are allowed. I have a two bedroom with plenty of room for your pet if they need to stay here. I would provide walks and exercise for your pet throughout the day.

About: I have many years experience caretaking of animals big and small. To date, I have never met anyone who loves animals as much as I do. It would be a dream come true to take care of, play and snuggle your furbaby. I currently have an open schedule. I am a licensed healthcare professional for humans and will administer medication and take care of medical needs for your pet. I have a 2 story home with a fenced backyard. My pup roams freely with a doggie door to go outside in the yard. He loves everything and everyone. I am available to take care of animals in my home or yours and will abide by your specific instructions and needs. I provide dog walks, drop ins and am open to ideas outside of the box. Pictures will be provided during the stay.

About: I love all animals, all shapes, sizes and colors. I have experience in every animal kingdom. I have a very safe and large fenced in oasis for your child to play in. I could talk your ear off about my own schedule and routine but that would be less time for walks! I work from home at my “real job”. I find a happy dog is a dog on a schedule. I prefer to have specific instructions on any schedules for special pets. Pets will not be left unattended for extended periods.

“I highly recommend Andrew. My dogs (2 pitbulls) love him. He was available on short notice and came through with flying colors. I really appreciate you Andrew!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and truly consider them family. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers and have cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years. As a big dog lover, I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, energetic pups, and strong walkers—but I also provide gentle, patient care for seniors and pets who need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I understand pet behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s puppy playtime and basic training reinforcement, medication administration, senior care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am currently working from home. I have ample time to fit your loved furry family member into my schedule. I am very flexible throughout the week and weekends. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, needs, and personality. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency so pets feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications. I make sure pets receive plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. When pets are in my home, they are treated like part of the family in a safe, loving environment. I ensure they get appropriate exercise, enrichment, rest, and supervision, while respecting any special instructions, dietary needs, or behavioral considerations. Above all, I care for every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of cats and dogs. From family and friends to just neighbors. I love taking care of people’s pets because it allows me to get to know them and enjoy them from a far. I am currently finishing up my senior year in high school. I am available most weekends for now, but will be looking for more opportunities over the summer. I am very trustworthy and care for peoples pets as if they were my own. I am also very careful when in others peoples homes because I would expect the same treatment if they were in my home or taking care of my pets.

“A very professional individual.”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Professionally I have worked with animals for about 5 years now. I worked at a doggy daycare for almost 3 years. Working there taught me a great deal about animal behavior and different kinds of dog personalities. I currently work at an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant. My job duties involve administering medication daily and taking care of both dogs and cats. I have previously worked at an emergency veterinary hospital as well, which helped me learn how to react best under pressure. I have 3 fur babies of my own (1 dog and 2 cats). I have previously volunteered at local animal shelters where I met many different types of dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant, so during the week I am only available before 7:30am and after 5:30pm. I am fully available on the weekends! I am happy to follow any directions left for me about caring for your fur babies! I have pets of my own that all have different feeding schedules, amounts, and medications. So lists of requests and directions do not scare me!
