About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I grew up with several cats and always was the neighborhood kid who would pet sit the neighbor’s dogs. I still have my cat Dabney, a torti with sass who now roams our home like we bought it for her. In considering other pets, I would follow their daily schedule and give lots of pets. I am able to do drop in visits for your pets on the weekends. I do not charge extra for holidays. I am comfortable with small to large dogs, taking them for walks, or pet sitting multiple animals. I work full time, and take care of pets on the weekends. Perfect for a weekend getaway for locals who can’t take their pets with them. I do not charge extra for holidays. My cat is very spoiled with many windows for perfect bird viewing, a yard to explore and gets many pets when sleeping next to me. For clients, I would follow their pets schedule, feed, walk, clean litter, and give pets.
About: I’ve loved pets for as long as I remember. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was four, ranging from small chihuahuas to large Saint Bernards. I’m currently taking care of two younger dogs and one senior dog. I’m a recent high school graduate with a flexible schedule available both weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate morning, lunch, and dinner needs for your pet. I have experience with watching several pets from puppies to pets who have special needs at my own home. Daily pet care for me includes feeding, walking, grooming, and playtime.
“Keelan was such a great helping walking and taking care of Ruckus on such short notice. Great communication, and took such good care of my boy for me!”
About: I love all dogs, cats are cool as well. Dogs are just like two-year-old children that require love, respect, patience. With dogs play time stimulation or walking is vital unless they are seasoned with age. I’m an early morning person. Outside activities and fresh air are a big part of my life. Going to local parks, walking in my neighborhood or taking a stroll on the beach. Rocky Bayou Drive has a nice park that allows dogs. I only take small dogs in my home, maximum 2 dogs, I will consider taking 3 same family dogs . I believe dogs are like children, they need attention. Having experience with labs teaches you to have everything put up. Free roaming in my living room, kitchen and dining room area. All bedrooms will be closed off. including bathrooms.
About: As a dog owner for the past 20 years I know the stress of worrying about your pets when you can't take them with you. I want to take some of that stress and worry away by providing a fun loving place for your pets to stay. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 15 years. As a stay at home mom your pets will get a lot of love and attention. I also have experience with taking care of dogs with special needs. Rest assured your pets will be well loved and cared for while you are away. I currently work for myself from home, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility. Also, my oldest son who’s in his teens homeschool so he’s always home as well. I have two beagles that are super chill and super friendly. I also have a huge yard on a corner cul-de-sac that’s completely fenced in so there’s plenty of room for them to run around in the backyard as well as take daily walks.

Jessica H.
“Roscoe’s visit with Jessica was amazing! He had a great time and I had peace of mind during my whole trip. I received plenty of updates and pictures of Roscoe. Jessica takes care to make you feel that you’re near your fur baby when far away. I could not be more grateful that my trip was a huge success due to the fact that I felt Roscoe was in great hands the entire time. I recommend to anyone who’s looking for a fun, safe and engaging environment for your fur baby to stay so you can enjoy your time away.”

Joshua P.
“Joshua loves all animals! There isn’t a turtle he wouldn’t stop for crossing the road or a dog he wouldn’t stop to pet. He is responsible and caring. Joshua is attentive to a pet’s needs and has cared for animals of all ages.”
Keelan D.
“Keelan was such a great helping walking and taking care of Ruckus on such short notice. Great communication, and took such good care of my boy for me!”
Kendra R.
“As a pet owner, Kendra's first priority was the safety of her pets. She was diligent with their vet care and advocated for her pet's preferences when they were outside of their normal environments. For example, Kioshi, Kendra's elderly Yorkie, loved to greet people but hated to be picked up. Sometimes she would need to bring him to the office (our bosses were cool like that), and people would bend over to grab him when he went to say hello. She would stop them with swiftness. Kendra has experience training dogs, labs in particular, and hers were very well behaved and had a number of "tricks". Kendra has a special talent for recognizing and working with a dogs strengths and she thoroughly loves learning their character and what makes them special. I'd leave any of my pets with her without a worry.”
Ginny M.
“Ginny has always been a dog lover and for the last 20 years of her life, she has been a dog owner. She is very responsible with caring for dogs and is very timely regarding the dog's schedules for feeding, walking, etc. From my own personal and positive experience with her caring for my dogs, I would highly recommend Ginny for dog care-giving. ”

Liznel V.
“I've known Liznel for well over 10 years and let me tell you, She is an avid animal lover. everything from Dogs to horses, animals are her passion. I've seen her taking care of many dogs over the years here in Miami. I know she recently moved over to Pensacola, but I am sure that she will do great. She has a very large back yard which would be great for dogs to run around and play she also keeps them active with activities and treats. I you are looking for someone that understands and loves animal i would reach out to her as soon as possible. I used to contact Liznel to baby sit my 2 year old Pom while i was at work. My little pommy used to love her so much. We are sad that such a wonderful animal loving person like herself has left our area, but i know that anywhere she goes she will take that passion and love for animals with her. If you are looking for someone with Great positive energy as well as someone to love and care for your dogs like her own, i would only contact Liznel. We Miss You :-) XOXO”
