Dog Sitting West Melbourne

“My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.”

“Melissa did an absolutely incredible job of taking care of my fur babies while we were out of town for 3 days. She kept me well informed of how everyone was doing while we were gone. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

“Andrea did an awesome job with our dog for the three days we booked her for. Butters absolutely loved her and there were no issues at all! Highly recommend her for all your pet-watching needs.”

About: Hi! I'm a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I believe every pet deserves patience, attention, and plenty of affection while their family is away. Whether it's dogs or cats, I provide personalized care based on their unique personalities and needs. I'm available every day and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. From walks, playtime, feeding, and medication (if needed) to cuddles and companionship, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. You can count on me to provide dependable, attentive care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! My schedule is very open so I can work with what is needed from you! Overnights, multiple days, or quick trips, I will respond quickly and allow time for you to decide what you need!! I am willing to learn how you would like me to care for your pets to ensure your animals and you, feel comfortable and provided for!

About: Ever since a kid I have adored animals in any way possible. I’ve had 3 cats and 4 dogs, I would walk and feed them daily. Over my passion to love and care for animals is above most people who just want easy money. I am 19yrs old, currently a student at Florida tech. My major is Animal cognition and behavior, I would love to take care of your pet. My dream is to become a veterinarian so your pet is in great hands! Please reach out to me you won’t regret it ever! The schedule will be followed to a tea and your pet will be deeply and lovingly cared for. There shouldn’t be one thing you’d have to worry about.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs for my entire life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior and a genuine passion for providing quality pet care. In addition to my personal experience as a lifelong dog owner, I spent a year working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Through this experience, I developed skills in supervising group play, monitoring behavior, maintaining feeding and medication schedules, and ensuring that each dog received individualized attention and care. Working in a professional pet care environment taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and clear communication with pet owners. As a college student with a flexible schedule and a love for animals, I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets and homes are in trustworthy hands. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining your pet’s normal routine, creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pets. I am a full time college student, going into my third year at Florida Tech, with a class schedule I can work around. I have classes four days a week, with a mix of morning and afternoon availability. Aside from being a student, I have a part-time job with flexible hours, so I can work out times around both schedules! For walks, sitting, and overnight stays, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, and any specific preferences or routines. During walks, I make sure pets get appropriate exercise while keeping them safe and supervised. For sitting and overnight stays, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure the home is kept clean and secure and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I have been around dogs my whole like - from small chihuahuas to large Great Danes. I have never had any problems with a dog liking me and I will always approach a new dog with the respect they deserve. I am knowledgeable in their body language and cues so I am usually able to communicate with them quite well. Some skills I have when it comes to dogs are medication administration, potty training, crate training, command training, and leash training. I am not certified but I do have lots of experience with multiple dogs that has been highly effective. All dogs will receive endless pets and belly rubs! If they have a special snacks or dietary needs, I can certainly follow any instructions given to keep your pup in good health while in my care. Occasionally, my husband may be with for walks as I like having another person with for security measures. I will always message you for permission of this before your service. He is great with all animals as well but as a woman, I like having that extra sense of security when I’m in a new area. I have recently opened up my availability to be a full time pet care assistant. I absolutely love animals and to have this be a full time means of living would be a dream come true. I have open arms to animals of all shapes and sizes! I do not currently offer in home pet sitting as my complex only allows our registered pets. But basic care would include: play time, feedings, refilling/refreshing the water dish, snacks if available, time basking in the sun (if applicable), administering medication if needed, LOTS OF PETS!

“Minna is amazing! She sent tons of pictures of my dog and was very diligent in everything. One thing that I loved is that she had a meet and greet with me and my dog prior to doing the visits.”

About: On top of pet sitting and dog walking prior, I have volunteered at a humane society, giving me experience with a variety of pets and temperaments. I'm a current college student, so I have plenty of time outside of classes to take care of your beloved pets as needed whenever you may need me. To care for the pets in your home, I feed them, play with them, and keep a close eye on them to keep them out of trouble, as well as anything else that could possibly be needed.

About: I have had dogs and cats most of my life. I started pet sitting in college and have cared for dogs and cats of all ages with and without medical needs. I currently have an 9 year old lab/border collie mix who I love dearly! And 3 cats ages 3 to 14 who bring me joy every day! I have a very flexible schedule and can visit your home multiple times a day, 7 days per week. Your pet will be cared for on their normal schedule. I currently care for my own pets with love and attention as they are a part of my family. They receive walks, play time, swimming and treats regularly!

About: Hi! Im Andrea. I moved down to Vero Beach Dec ‘21 from North Dakota and now making my way up to Melbourne! I’m loving the florida life! Beaches are wayy better here. Back in north dakota i had 3 families I would pet set for. Ranging from small to big, lazy to extremely hyper I can handle it all! I’ve had many pets from 4 cats at time, a snake, to 3 cats and a dog, and now two cats. Please let me hangout with your animals before I go rescue every furbaby at the shelter. Open availability in September/October besides weekends. I work 12 hour shifts in east/central melbourne area, can most likely work out a potty break in that time if needed:) I have experience in residential Window Cleaning in high value properties in the Vero Beach area, I always have the upmost respect for another persons home, animals, and property. I can do small cleaning jobs as well for an additional price. I’m not willing to stay in another’s home overnight until a couple meet ups with pets and their owners for personal safety and comfortability reasons.

About: I had dogs growing up and they always brought so much joy. I have fostered animals mostly puppies and at one time I had 5 puppies that I was potty training. If your pet requires medication via needle or pill, I am comfortable with either. I work from home and I am flexible in taking care of your pet. Whether it is a walk, daily feeding or sleep over I am home most of the time. If your fur baby is staying the night, we will discuss specific needs, such as feeding time, treats, walks, etc. if I am walking your fur baby, is there a specific area or length of walk you prefer. I am also available to let your dog out during the day and make sure your fur baby has enough water.

About: I have always had pets in my household growing up and I have two wonderful cats of my own now. I would love to help take care of yours when needed! Hi there-I am currently available for drop in visits through out the day as my schedule varies most days. I also have weekend availability when I am in town. Sometimes I travel and then I use pet sitters for my own kitties :) I am currently available for drop in visits. I would love to help take care of your pet when needed.

We have pet tortoises, chickens, an axolotl and a dog currently. I have a background in Law Enforcement for 16 years, 8.5 years of that being in the K9 unit as well as a retired military spouse. I am new to this app, but not new to taking care of you pets. The pets in the photos are my own personal pets, as well as clients. I am ready to accept new clients in my home. Dog walking, and just checking in on your pets when you can't be there. My Schedule is a bit busy, but message me for accommodations. In our house we have a designated quiet dog space if they need it. We have kennels and crates, and a fenced in back yard. As a Law Enforcement Officer I keep safety of your property in mind.

About: Hi everyone! I have walked plenty of dogs for my neighbors, from very small to very large babies. I have always had a love for animals since I was a kid and it’s just grown since I’ve gotten older and would love the opportunity to hang out with your babies!! I love to see animals all times of the day, so they would never be an inconvenience to my life because I genuinely love what I do! I would love to take care of any type of dog or cat or both!! Caring for pets in a client’s home is all about keeping the pet’s routine as normal as possible while respecting the client’s home.

“Carol was a life saver for last minute care for my pup! She took great care of her and sent lots of pics. Highly recommend!”

“ABOVE AND BEYOND! Alexander and Dorys are the most reliable, trustworthy, responsible, kind, loving and fun people that I have ever hired to care for my pets or my three children! I highly recommend hiring them if you want zero worries about your fur babies or your home. I could share two weeks' worth of daily examples of their great communication and execution of my list of tasks, but I will share just one: CHRISTMAS EVE. 5:30pm. Jones, our indoor/outdoor cat, wouldn't come home. The entire family was multiple states away, as were most of our friends and neighbors. Alexander and Dorys arrive a bit early to get Jones safely inside for the night, cleaned the box and food and water dishes, and were ready to play and cuddle for 30 minutes. (always sending me pics and updates.) They kept calling for him. Did the nightly routine: selected a good TV program for him, checked thermostat and garbage, and kept calling for him --- on Christmas Eve when they were on the way to their family gathering. They were communicating with me that Jones was not home, and I told them they should leave the cat door open and to go to dinner with their family. It was Christmas Eve! (And, Jones often doesn't come back home immediately when called.) I said the neighbor would keep an eye out. But, Alexander and Dorys didn't feel good about leaving Jones outside and didn't want me to worry. Instead of leaving him outside like I said to do, they tracked Jones' Airtag that I had shared previously. The lovely couple went throughout the neighborhood, calling him and shaking his treats until they found him two blocks away. Then, Jones didn't want to ride in the car. So, Dorys walked and carried Jones all the way back home. And, they still petted him and gave him his nightly catnip party! I will attach a pic of the walk home with Jones looking like he's clawing her arm, but she never said a single word about that. They were just happy to have found him and made sure my fur baby was safely home so I could have a worry-free Christmas Eve. I believe this single example of my experience with Alexander and Dorys is a real testament to the care they would give your pets. In addition, they also cared for my large 'high-maintainence' German Shepherd the week that he had leg surgery for new ACL, and Dorys sat on the couch beside him and read with him the entire night to ease his separation anxiety. Gave medication, treats, and took care of Jones' indoor/outdoor needs... Dr. Dog was the least anxious that I have ever seen him upon our return home. He was so happy and peaceful ... another testament to the connection they have with the animals. You can see it. They are animal people, truly kind, and the pets and I love them - you will, too! :) ( Most of all for me busy working and traveling with family, etc.... I like not worrying about anything, no matter what. They took care of everything that came up without me giving a second thought. Worth every penny for the peace of mind... everything taken care of... everyone is happy!)”
