Pet Sitting Whiting

About: I've grown up with pets all my life. My family has raised multiple dogs since I was a little girl, ranging from small to large dogs, so I have plenty of experience with canines. Furthermore, though I wasn't allowed to have cats myself growing up, I've always adored them and have done plenty of pet-sitting for friends and families who did. I don't have professional pet-sitting experience, but I do love animals and have grown up caring for them in some capacity throughout my entire life, so I assure you I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I currently work full-time and am looking for some extra money on the side. However, despite that, I am still available throughout the week. I work early mornings and am always available after 4 p.m. Saturday is the only day I can pet-sit at any time needed. I would care for your animal and your home as if they were my own, with respect and care. Let me know the schedule, routine, and personality of your pet, and I will take it from there. I am always available for a video call when I am pet-sitting within your home, and will happily provide video updates throughout the visit, especially for new clients who are still becoming familiar with me. Your and your pets comfort is my main priority, so let me know what you need, and I got you.

About: I'll provide exceptional care for your fur babies. Your fur babies will feel right at home when I'm caring for them. I'll treat them with the love and care that they deserve. I've had about a year of experience academically working with animals specifically dogs and cats in Florida. There In the Vet academy at my institution in Florida, we were taught various subjects from properly caring for animals to the internal properties of each kind of animal. That and among so much other things we've went over in regards to the animal anatomy. Also My availability is pretty much open so I'm free to spend some FUN time with your lovely pets! I so look forward to caring for your awesome pets soon n

“Artiss was great! Send update pictures and made sure to love on our pets while we were away. Definitely will reach out to her again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is how seriously I take the trust you're placing in me. I understand that pets are family and leaving them in someone else's care can be difficult. That's why I approach every pet with patience, empathy, and genuine care. I take the time to learn their unique personality (energetic, shy, or just needs a little extra attention), routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have the flexibility to give them the attention they deserve. With an open schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine, whether that means morning walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I know that being away from their owner can be an adjustment for some pets, so I do my best to create a calm, loving, and familiar environment where they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is for your pet to feel cared for and happy, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in compassionate and dependable hands. When caring for pets during drop-in visits and dog walks, I make it a priority to maintain the routine they're familiar with, so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their needs, whether that's a fun walk, playtime, mealtime, or some extra attention and affection. My goal is to provide thoughtful, reliable care that keeps your pet happy while giving you confidence that they're in good hands.

She cared for our fur baby with so much tenderness and attention, going above and beyond to ensure Charlie felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Her daily updates brought us peace of mind and smiles each day. We are so grateful for her, and feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so wonderful to care for our Charlie.”

“T’Wanna was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my cat had plenty of company and lots of pets and cuddles. She communicated well with me each step of the way letting me know how much food he had eaten, she replenished the water in the litter and let me know how he was doing overall. It meant so much that she spent so much genuine time making sure that my cat was comfortable and well cared for during her drop in. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking her again”

“Gabrielle was the perfect fit for our pup! She showed up on time and stayed the time that was requested which sounds basic, but I personally really appreciate that. She took great care of our dog and provided a great summary of her care for him letting us know how he was on his walk, refilled his water and played with him and gave him treats. I look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”

About: Hi Rover! My name is Alex. I have been a pet owner since I could walk; dogs, cats, fish, birds, gerbils, even rats! I absolutely love animals and I am sure I can give your pet the love they require while you are away. I am the fur mommy of Sāj (pronounced Sage), and my angel fur baby Stasi 🕊️💕. Sāj loves other dogs almost more than she loves me. We have fur friends of all ages, shapes and sizes. So big or small, she can adapt and be a fun friend to play/cuddle with. I do work a full time job, however, I have flexibility in my day for walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I can provide plenty of daily updates and pictures. For new clients, I offer a doggie report card and Polaroid photo to ensure your pet was taken care of with the same love you give. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I have a hybrid schedule of work from home and office time, with flexibility to ensure your pet, like mine, are not left alone for extended periods of time throughout the day. I have a home with huge fenced yard to roam and play. I live within walking distance to regular parks and don’t mind taking a trip to the dog parks for socializing and exercise.

About: I grew up in a multi pet home and learned to walk, train and groom pets from a young age. I cared for the last family dog through her medically tedious senior years. Through college I pet sat and walked for friends and family. For 2 years I worked for a veterinary clinic, although my job was marketing I often was asked to assist with holding and monitoring patients. When I became a pet owner I adopted puppies raising them through potty and crate training. I am proud to say they continue to be healthy and happy. Now we foster and pet sit dogs of all ages and sizes because of the dog friendly environment we’ve created at home. My success in pet lies with gaining the pets trust. I approach them slowly and go at their pace, sitting and waiting on the ground if necessary. I am pet sitting and walking full time so I have plenty of time to dedicate to my clients! Dogs are typically walked and out between 7am and 9pm. I have a fully fenced yard with ample room for running and playing. There are four resident dogs who are friendly and used to guests. We can crate your pup or have them sleep in a bed or in bed with me. Water is available at all times through a 2 gallon water dispenser.

“Maria was great. I scheduled her for a couple of drop in visits on a day we were going to be gone all day. She contacted me an hour before her first visit because there was rain in the forecast. She asked about how the dogs were in the rain and checked to see if she should walk them or plan for the backyard. She sent pictures and communication was great. I’ve already scheduled her for an upcoming overnight stay.”
