House Sitting in Wakulla Springs

“Shafika took amazing care of our dog and home. She was super communicative and went above and beyond to take care of Lucca (deshedding!) and our house (washed the sheets!). Would absolutely hire again!”

“Gabby was a god sent. She did a meet and greet prior to the sit in and my fur baby loved her. She came on time both times and was such a sweet kind person. I did not have the need to check on him during the sitting because I knew he was in great hands. When she left, he was sad.”

“Meghan took such wonderful care of our 3 high energy Aussies! I know they loved every minute she was there with them. We highly recommend her for your pet’s care and will certainly use her again when the need arises!!”

About: I’ve been a dog (and occasionally cat) owner for over 30 years. I’ve raised puppies and cared for them in their senior years, as well. My latest rescue, Darcy Grace, passed away this year. I work part time close to my home. I have flexibility to leave and return to work when needed. I look forward to having dog smiles and cat purring in my life again. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of shade trees for outside lounging. I have a doggie door that can be open or closed whichever you prefer. I will follow your instructions for care and give lots of love while you are away.

About: I've had cats and dogs for nearly my entire life and always enjoy being around them. When you have to be away or just need a caring pair of hands I can be there for you. I'm looking to make this a part time effort to help out people who need caring hands. I am typically available just about anytime night or day. We have 3 cats at our home (Beef Broccoli and Brisquette) as well as a boxer puppy (coming soon). While Beef prefers to live outside and passively engages with us the way outside cats tend to do. Our indoor buddies are happy playful and surprisingly talkative, they get their flea meds bimonthly as we rarely have flea issues.

“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”

About: My family had a pair of corgis when I was a kid, I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started petsitting for families with dogs in 2012. I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies. I’m available fully Wednesday thru Saturday and sometimes I can extend care for them until Sunday or Monday. I will follow and double check all the instructions and I will contact you immediately with any questions or concerns I have regarding your fur babies.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong bond with animals and years of hands-on experience that began when I was just 4 years old. I grew up living with my grandfather, who always had five dogs at a time. Being surrounded by animals from such a young age taught me the importance of consistent, compassionate care. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. When my parents gifted me my own puppy, I took formal puppy training classes to better understand behavior and effective training techniques—skills I still use with every dog I care for. Beyond puppy care, I have extensive experience with senior and special needs dogs. I helped care for my grandfather’s dog who was blind, deaf, and had a tumor, making sure he felt safe, loved, and comfortable every day. Currently, I’m caring for my own senior dog who has cancer. I manage her treatment, including chemotherapy appointments and administering medication, with patience and dedication. This experience has deepened my ability to care for aging or ill pets with empathy and attentiveness. Whether it’s basic training, special medical care, or just keeping them company, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels at home, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently waiting to start college and will be home for the next month, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priority, and I’ll work with you to make sure they get exactly the attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I'm highly attentive and have no problem going the extra mile, whether that means long walks, park visits, beach outings, or just lots of playtime and companionship. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a secure and comfortable environment. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and live in a neighborhood with a dog park just minutes away. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, jogs, or runs, and I’m always ready for a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to be reliable, punctual (I aim to arrive early), and respectful of your space. I can quickly get to your home in case of emergencies and will follow any specific instructions you provide. I'm comfortable with crate training and can easily manage routines around feeding, medication, or special care. No matter the location, my goal is to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for 24/7.

About: Hi, I’m Kayla! I’m a full time student at FAMU and I double major in animal science and agriculture. I own a 5 year old Rottweiler named Nyema, she’s very mild mannered and mostly stays in her room, so you shan’t worry if you have a smaller dog or a cat. I often volunteer at the local animal shelter and I’m currently in training to become a vet technician. I love animals (obviously) and I’ve been pet sitting for the past 6 years and I’m experienced in sitting dogs and cats, but I’m open to sitting exotic animals. Being a full time student I have very flexible availability. I’m always available to sit overnight, and on weekends. During the week, I’m free on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am available after 3:45 p.m.

About: I offer flexible availability to fit your schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I work part -time for JC Penney Portraits. (We photo dogs toooo) Whether it’s routine care or last-minute needs, I’m happy to accommodate your pets. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life — from tiny, wobbly newborn pups to my own 18-year-old beagle. I understand the gentle, patient attention that young puppies need, and I’m experienced with the special care, comfort, and understanding that senior dogs deserve. Whether your pet is just starting out or enjoying their golden years, I’m here to give them the love and support they need. I offer flexible availability to fit your schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s routine care or last-minute needs, I’m happy to accommodate your pets. I make sure they have consistent routines — regular meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of rest. Animals thrive on structure, and I bring that same reliability when caring for others’ pets too. Pets need more than just food — they need stimulation, love, and fun! I make time every day for walks, play, and cuddles. When I care for your pet, I’ll make sure they’re not just taken care of — they’re also happy. I understand how much you love your furry family. When I care for your pet, I’ll treat them like my own — with kindness, patience, and attention. You can count on me to give honest updates, follow instructions, and truly care.

“Appreciate Nicole's flexibility and mostly her pure love for my pups. My youngest has separation anxiety and when I returned home, she was calm and relaxed. Highly recommend Nicki to anyone looking for an awesome dog person!”

“Kyle was great in caring for our pups! They seemed to be very happy to have Kyle around while we are away!! He sent pictures of them! Truly grateful to have Kyle stay with them and knowing they are in wonderful hands. Thank you!”

About: I have five cats and a dog of my own. I love exploring new trails and finding new places to walk. I also have experience administering medication to pets. I grew up with a dog that needed lots of medicine. I have plenty of experience with injections, pills, and liquids. I will treat your baby like my own. I truly miss the animals I watch when I inevitably have to leave. I hope you will trust me with your baby soon! I am able to move my schedule with notice. I typically have school Tuesdays in person every other week. Just let me know in advance and I can make it work! I am very careful with making sure harnesses are on and safe. I make sure the water and food bowl are full and nothing is out that is dangerous.

“Sarah was very nice and respectful. She sent us updates with lots of cute pictures of our fur babies. One of our cats gets a little nervous around new people and won't always go to her food dish so Sarah made sure to find her and bring the dish to her for every feeding. We returned and our house was actually cleaner than we had left it. We had left a dirty dish or two in the sink and she had washed them for us. I would recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a sitter.”

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’ll treat your family members like my family members. Thank you for trusting me with your loved ones when you are temporarily out of town. I am available full time on weekends and have some availability between 9am and 4pm Monday through Friday. Your loved ones are always my top priority. Lots of attention and care. Your home or mine. They bring so much joy to us, I love providing love and comfort when you are not available.

About: Beginning in my preteen years, I have cared for various breeds of dogs, from newborn puppies to full-grown dogs. I'm confident in understanding what your furry friend needs or wants, whether a bath, bathroom break, playtime, dinner, or snuggles. I’m a travel nurse with Fusion Medical, and I recently decided to move back home to Tallahassee. As of now, I can accommodate any scheduling needs. I am taking a break from fieldwork and will focus on advancing my career. Sadly, I can’t accommodate your furry friends in my home at this time. However, I can accommodate their needs in their own safe place. I can also continue and maintain their care plan according to your wishes.

About: Pet sitting is more than just taking care of an animal for a few days. It's about giving the pet love, attention, and trust while their owners are away. In my 5+ years of experience as a pet sitter, I understand the importance of maintaining the pets' routine and treating them with the same care as their owners would. I have looked after pets of all shapes and sizes from dogs to cats, to fish, and even exotics such as geckos and bearded dragons. I am well aware of the different personalities, temperaments, and needs of the various animals I have cared for. My responsibilities during pet sitting include feeding, watering, walking, playing, and administering medicine if needed. I am dependable, dedicated, and will go above and beyond to ensure my furry clients' happiness while their owners are away. I pride myself on going the extra mile with healthy activities like long walks or games of Frisbee to stimulate exercise and excitement. My love for animals is what initially brought me to become a pet sitter and guardianship of their well-being is my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in capable and caring hands. I work a full time job, but I always make the time to take care of the furry friends who need it. I make sure to spend extra time when I have it available. I make sure to follow the instructions provided, as well as handle anything that needs taken care of such as cleaning up messes when there is an accident. I always take the time to take pictures to send to show your furry friend/child is doing alright while you’re away.
