Pet Sitting Weeki Wachee

“We really appreciated Samantha's help dropping in on our cat while we were out of town. She was very communicative and went the extra mile of helping bring in the mail and removing a blaring fire alarm that had a dead battery. She provided photos so we had peace of mind that our kitty was okay. Thanks again!”

About: I began house sitting for an assortment of pets when I was just 11 years old. I have cared for horses, cows, chickens, turkeys, pigs, cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents. I myself own a labradoodle and two geckos, and aid my siblings in caring for their snakes and bearded dragons. I have been flown out by family to care for their pets for weeks at a time and I have handled them in both sickness and in health. I have experience caring for creatures with disabilities as well as ones on medication or diets, I have memorized homemade dog food recipes as well for sensitive stomachs. Whatever beautiful creature left in my care will be treated with the best care possible and with gentle hands, for I believe you should treat all animals with the same care you’d give a close family member. I hope to meet your sweet souls and give them all the love they deserve. I am a part-time college student, studying to be a nurse. But I have a very flexible schedule and my classes are considered hybrids, so I could easily do my work online from your home where your beautiful creatures are still under my supervision just as easily! The only days I consider to be a bit packed are Mondays and Tuesdays, but it can easily be rearranged to your needs! I have a dog and two geckos of my own, and I make sure to treat my babies with the best care possible. My dog is taken out on walks twice a week, and the other days we play in the yard to let her get out what remaining energy she has, considering she is getting older, I try not to be harsh on her and accommodate our active time to what her body signals. I brush her every other day and infuse her fur with show dog finishing spray to ensure she smells good and I make sure to use sprays that are specifically pet friendly as not to irritate her nose or skin. She is completely potty trained and behavior trained by me and she listens very well and has never had an accident. I had cared for three other dogs of our own in the past, and all of them had different needs considering they have all been rescues. Our prior dog had very bad anxiety, but I was able to help him through it without any medications necessary with constant comfort, assurance, and presence. I have cared for seniors, amputees, blinded, and special needs pets, including both dogs and cats, and can follow whatever routine you’d like if you have preferences! I also offer stability in moods and tone. I know animals are very prone to reflecting whatever emotion a human is displaying to them, so I’ve always been cautious of my reactions and the way I speak to them. I can be stern if it’s necessary, but I’d consider it gentle parenting type of stern!

About: Animals have always been attracted to me and felt comfortable with me. I have a few months experience in a vets office and over 1 year now as a private pet sitter. I work part time at a brewery, and have plenty of availability to watch pets. I can come to your house multiple times throughout the day and even stay over night if that’s what you prefer 😊 I usually like to set up a meet & greet and take notes on each pet to have as much information about them before my stay.

“Phoenix was awesome with my boy Jager. She really loves and cares for animals. She did a great job and I will pick her again! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats of all sizes, and every animal is family to me. I work from home, so your babies will always be well cared for. My teenage daughter loves them just as much as I do. I work from home so your fur babies will be cared for around the clock. All of their needs will be taken care of in a timely manner and lots of time for cuddles! I do not have any animals currently as our “old man” recently passed over the rainbow bridge. I have a large fenced backyard for your dog to run around and play in. I love to go for walks and play with them in the backyard.

About: I've volunteered at a variety of animal shelters in Hillsborough/Pasco county walking dogs of all different sizes, shapes, and conditions. I really enjoying being outside with the animals and getting to experience all the different types of personalities dogs have. I'm only free on the weekends since I work the weekdays. That allows me to spend all the required time with no distractions to take care of your pet(s). Currently I cannot take any pets into my home. However, I was raised well and understand common scene so I will always respect the homes of my clients

“This is the second time we've booked Miranda, and my dog loves her! I also really appreciate that she reached out to keep me updated on any changes.”

“Cayla took the best care of our pups while we were away for a few days! We have a nearly 5 yo golden retriever and a 9 mo Weimaraner… he is our wild man! Along with their daily routine, she took time to play ball with them! She sent us pics daily! Cayla went above and beyond and we will definitely ask her to keep our pups again!”

About: Hi! I'm Renee. Within the last year and a half both of our English mastiffs have passed. They have such a great life with us though and completed our family! I really want to have a dog in the home (temporarily, of course) since we do not plan on getting another one quite yet. Our mastiffs were truly our babies are were treated like royalty. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all of the time! Perfect for a needy pup. Haha. We have a fenced in yard, plenty of space and a fun toddler who can keep up with their energy. Reach out to book! :) *must be good around kids* I am home all of the time! I am very flexible. I go to the gym in the mornings for an hour and then right back home. My home already had two very big dogs for a long time before they passed away. We have a whole spare room if your pup needed their space and a fenced in yard so they can potty without worrying about escaping. I love to spoil them and would LOVE to have them in my home! My heart would be so happy to hang out with a dog again since we aren't ready to get another one just yet.

About: You want your pet to feel happy, safe, and comfortable at home while you’re out of town? You’ve got it! 🐾 I’m Estefania, a certified veterinary assistant/technician, professional dog groomer, and longtime animal lover with 17+ years of hands on experience. I coordinate dog adoptions through our nonprofit organization and also work independently to educate, rescue, rehabilitate, and advocate for homeless pets and animals in need. I’m experienced with all kinds of pet care needs, including administering medications, wound care, preparing special meals, and making accommodations for pets with medical, behavioral, or special needs. I’m also backed by local veterinary resources when something outside the normal scope of pet sitting comes up. For our Sarasota area sitting, I’m fortunate to have my longtime friend Jen Semro joining me. Jen is retired and has been caring for pets since the 1980s. She lives a quiet, peaceful lifestyle and has always had a genuine love for animals. She enjoys photography and resin art in her free time and is the perfect person to provide calm, consistent companionship. Jen will be the primary sitter and will handle the day to day care, while I remain involved and available to provide my veterinary technician knowledge and additional support whenever needed. Together, we bring decades of combined pet care experience and a very personal approach to every animal we care for. We intentionally keep our pet care small and personal rather than taking on a large number of animals at once. Our goal is for your pet to receive genuine attention and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible. We can accommodate pets who need extra patience, special routines, medications, senior care, or simply a little more love and reassurance. For house sitting, we’ll accommodate our schedule around your pet’s needs so they can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. We’re happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and being cared for. About us: 🐾 Animal lovers 🐾 Veterinary assistant/technician experience 🐾 Professional dog groomer experience 🐾 Jen has provided pet care since the 1980s 🐾 Experienced with senior, special needs, nervous, and challenging pets 🐾 Rescue and rehabilitation experience 🐾 Reliable and safety focused 🐾 Personalized, low volume care 🐾 Local veterinary resources and support Why I love caring for animals: As far back as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with animals. When I was about 9 years old, I became involved with Cat Tails and More, a local nonprofit organization, where I began learning how to work with and understand dogs on a deeper level. That early experience grew into a lifelong passion. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build amazing relationships with animals while also helping their people better understand them. Whether it’s a goofy pup , a nervous rescue, a senior who needs extra care, or a pet who simply wants someone nearby, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal as an individual. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐾 Whether I’m at home or in your home I follow /adapt to each pets usual routine so that they feel as nothing has changed . I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company . I prefer not to crate but I will if necessary. I have many references from clients who ask me to stay in their home.

About: Hi, I'm Johnnie! I have a background in Human Services and Counseling, so attentiveness and genuine care come naturally to me. I've helped look after family and friends' pets and understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I show up on time, send regular photo updates, and treat every pet like my own. Looking forward to meeting yours! 🐾 Your pet is my top priority throughout the day and even at night no matter what! If I eat your pet eats if I go out for a walk most certainly your pet will be walking with me! Your pet will always align into my schedule perfectly synced. In my home I only hope that I am provided a thorough explanation of what type of care and personality your pet has so that I may adjust myself accordingly. Having the supplies needed to care for your pet is also a huge relief and is appreciated. In your home (should you allow me to) caring for your pet in your home is right next to caring for your pet in the president's own house, I'll settle for nothing but giving my best for you and your pet.

“Sam was a wonderful pet sitter and I highly recommend her to car for your fur babies. We had an out of town family emergency and she stopped by for a meet and greet with our German Shepherd who is very energetic and a big boy. She also feed and watered it outdoor cats and dwarf goats. Sam sent me pics during each drop in visit and refilled our duck/ chicken water bowls. She is a lovely and reliable sitter.”

“Stefanie came to walk my dogs to get to know them before our trip away. The dogs remembered her from our meet and greet and enjoyed their walk and both went potty. I feel very comfortable with her coming back to care for my dogs after seeing her interact with them and seeing how much she cares. She truly cares for animals and it shows.”
