About: I am a certified canine handler, certified by the American Working Dog Association. I have a Safe Grooming certification and have taken courses in dog first aid. I've been working with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments over the last five years. Understanding a dog's foundational needs and then individualizing the approach based on the dog's history and temperament are the keys to successfully caring for your puppers. I currently work from home and I only need one hand to type so the other hand is for petting your pup. Hours for pick up and drop off are restricted to 6-7 am and after 4 pm. I live in a walkable neighborhood that allows for walk breaks throughout the day. If your dog needs crate breaks to center himself I have a variety of crate sizes available. I have a fenced yard with agility activities. I have a variety of leashes including a short leash for structured walks and a 15 ft leash for exploring walks. I also have a custom dog bath. I have everything to curate a healthy, well rounded pup.

“Sarah is amazing! So thankful that she was available to care for my 3 kitties while I was away taking care of stressful family matters. One less thing to worry about. Your pets are in good hands with Sarah.”

About: I’ve been a dog and cat groomer for 4 years. I grew up on a farm taking care of all the animals from horses, cows, pigs, chickens , dogs , cats , turkeys etc. I’m very patient with animals who take more time to get to know new people who come into their lives and I love my senior animals who take a little longer on our walks :) I just moved to Florida from Arizona. This will be my full time job for now until I am able to save up to start my own mobile dog and cat business and hopefully be able to provide grooming services to all my lovely clients I am very reliable and flexible. I have always been the neighborhood help for pet care when my neighbors went on vacation. I’ve helped with feeding their farm animal and their indoor animals . I always follow the instructions giving to me and I always show up on time !

“Lauren is awesome! She is always quick to respond, reliably shows up and does a great job with my pup. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Nicole did a great job again with my 5 cats!”

About: I’ve worked as a vet tech for 10 years and in a pet store for 4, where I assisted with basic training like commands and crate work. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior dogs needing special attention and medication. I’m also comfortable with all breeds and sizes (including my past 150 lb dog!). Whether your pet needs energetic walks or quiet companionship, I provide loving, reliable care on a short notice. I have stepped away from the vets office due to becoming a teacher, but would love to spend quality time with your best friend! I’m a teacher, meaning I’m available for all of your petcare outside of school hours! Afternoons, weekends, holidays? I’m free! Please reach out for more information. My husband and I have always said that our furbabies are our kids as well, so I understand the importance of keeping your loved one safe! For boarding at my home- I have two dogs and two kids at home, so your fur baby will have endless opportunities for play! I have experience with crate training, so I am able to crate my dogs (or yours!) if needed/preferred.

About: Experience as an owner and caretaker of dogs, cats. Competent in feeding, and walking, and grooming. I work remote so your pet will always have somewhat of interaction if sitting, or ability to do home visits. Pet care fits into my daily routine as I work remote and am able to board. Also flexibility to do house calls within a certain radius. Ensure a safe and secure environment for your pet. Leashes will always be worn when outside. For house calls I am keen on privacy and security for pet owners and their families. Very trustworthy and honest individual.

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.

“Arrived on time and Clyde and Abigail seemed to get along well. Look forward to our next visit.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life. I started training service dogs in high school and have raised multiple Parkinson’s relief dogs. I typically work 7am-3pm but mostly from home. I am also a college student during the school year. I am really active so I love to run and play outside with dogs when I am watching them. I live in a huge pet friendly apartment. I watch all types of dogs so I have totally hazard proofed everything and there is no safety concerns.

“Silke is wonderful. She took amazing care of my 3 cats, and I could not be happier.”

About: I have been a pet owner and helped family and friends with caring for their pets for years. I regularly care for my mother's 2 dogs when she is out of town. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I do work full time but I will be glad to fit you in after work and on my days off. I work 8:30am to 5:30pm. I have a fenced in yard that my dogs run around and play in. I do walk them before work in the mornings before it gets too hot.

“Kendra is so amazing with my dogs, they love the time they get to spend with her! She communicates very well and is incredibly reliable. I will continue to book drop in visits with her! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring special diets and medications. Through many successful sits on TrustedHousesitters, I’ve looked after single-cat homes as well as multi-cat households, always adapting to their unique needs. I’m experienced with administering oral medication, keeping litter boxes spotless, and providing the affection (or quiet companionship) that each cat prefers. Whether your cat loves to curl up in my lap, play with toys, or just have someone steady nearby, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

About: Cats have been apart of my life since I was a child. Experienced in animals behavior and understand some cats just need space. No problem cleaning litter boxes or staying a little extra longer for extra cuddles

About: I’m a veterinary technician at Viscaya Prado Veterinary Hospital in Cape Coral, I volunteer weekly at the Tallahassee Animal Shelter on the vet team, I volunteer at AVS Equine Hospital, and I also used to work at The Barker Lounge Doggy Day Care! Through my experience, I’m comfortable administering medications and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments! I currently serve as the President of the Pre-Veterinary Club of Florida State University. Taking care of pets is a regular part of my week! As a Pre-Vet student animals are a major part of my academic and personal routine! I have a dog of my own, so pets in my care become part of our little pack while they’re with me. I follow each pet’s specific routine, whether that’s feeding, walking, or medication and I do everything I can to make them feel safe and at home. In my house, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I also offer care in clients’ homes, where I maintain their normal routine and provide regular updates with photos and messages!

“Lisa is fantastic. She really loves animals and wants to do everything she can for them. Completely amazing!”

For some of my friends pets, I’m also one of the only people they trust to give them medication. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pet and make sure they are well fed, get to potty, and have play time. I can take care of your fur baby to you liking. I cannot have dogs at my house right now because my roommate has two big dogs, but I can follow any directions based on owners preferences and will guarantee to treat your pet as if they were my own.

About: Hello! My name is Sophia and I have been pet sitting and dog walking for several years now. I care for all kinds of pets and have owned several in my lifetime as well.

About: **Limited availability until March 31** 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” and have a part time job in retail. I manage both of these schedules and can fit you in! 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.

About: I've had pets my whole life. I spent some time working at a veterinarian's office and worked at a kennel. I have two loving dogs that get along with everybody My schedule is wide open Im a stay at home Mom so I have lots of time to love on your pets.

About: I grew up in an urban city and have had animals all my life. Caring for cats and dogs in a city requires a lot of work. Walking dogs multiple times a day regardless of the weather. I would always catch, Care for and rehome stray cats. I'm comfortable around all furry animals. I'm currently a stay at home Mom but my children are older and need less supervision whichnhas allowed my schedule to become freed up and somewhat flexible. With enough advance notice I can be there for your pets. I am not currently looking to board animals at my home since my yard is not fenced. Perhaps in the future when the yard is fenced I can include that service.

“Our little girl doesn’t like anyone, but Sarah walked in and Shadow put her little paws on her leg to sniff her rather than going straight for the ankles to bite. Sarah was calm and kind when Shadow did react. Sarah was also timely, communicative, and professional. We had a great experience.”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.

About: Been around dogs, cats, gerbils, and birds throughout my life. All pets are considered family. They need love, respect, and guidance, too. I have walked dogs, groomed cats, cleaned out kennels, cages, and cat boxes, and play is important even for older pets. Most of my days have availability for pet care. A good time for care could be early morning, mid day, or late afternoon/evening just keep communication clear and timely. I have two cats who require biscuit making cuddles and play everyday. I groom their fur and shorten their nails as needed. Feeding for them is twice a day and their play incorporates exercise.

About: I have a dog of my own and she loves to play. So I would be more than willing to play or give your dog walks or a bath.

About: .Hi, I’m Dave—a retired full-time traveler and pet sitter who has cared for dogs and cats across the U.S. through TrustedHousesitters for many years. My lifestyle revolves around house and pet sitting, which means I’m not just popping in—I make caring for pets my priority. I specialize in longer stays ranging from a week to several months, but I also enjoy helping families with shorter sits. Pets I’ve cared for include everything from playful puppies and high-energy breeds to senior dogs needing gentle walks, medications, or extra TLC. I’m equally experienced with cats—from outgoing lap cats to shy rescues who require patience and a calm presence. I always adapt to each animal’s routine, personality, and special needs so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away. What I Offer • Dog Sitting: Walks tailored to your pup’s energy level—whether that’s leisurely strolls, trail walks, or long park outings. I’m attentive to leash manners, safety, and routines. • Cat Sitting: Experienced with indoor cats, multi-cat households, and those needing special attention. I understand feline behavior and give them the space or cuddles they prefer. • Medication & Special Care: Comfortable giving oral meds, handling dietary restrictions, and maintaining routines for pets with health considerations. • Home Care Perks: Since I’ve done extensive house sitting, I naturally treat every home with the utmost respect—bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping things tidy while you’re away. Why Choose Me • Trusted Reputation: Dozens of 5-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters for reliability, communication, and excellent pet care. • Senior Nomad Lifestyle: Since I travel by house and pet sitting, I am present and available throughout the day—not rushing in and out. • Peace of Mind: I provide daily updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know your pets are happy and your home is secure. A Little About Me When I’m not walking dogs or playing with cats, you’ll often find me exploring local trails on my folding e-bike, setting up wildlife trail cams, or enjoying coffee outdoors with furry companions nearby. I love discovering new places through the eyes of the pets I care for—it makes every sit unique and rewarding. Being retired, I’m available full-time to care for pets without distractions. Your dog or cat will have consistent companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Since pet sitting is my lifestyle, I’m fully present—not rushing in and out—so your pets always feel safe, loved, and attended to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their normal routines closely, keep their environment secure, and give them plenty of attention. Whether that means calm reassurance for a shy cat or energetic exercise for a playful dog, I adapt to each pet’s personality. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Richard did an excellent job boarding my dog. He’s extremely easy to communicate with, very flexible, and everything went smoothly. Luna seemed like she had a great time! I’d definitely trust him again.”
