Dog Sitting in Wildwood

“I can’t say enough good things about Mahaila. From our very first meet and greet, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals—my girls warmed up to her right away, which never happens! She was attentive, patient, and incredibly thoughtful every step of the way. While I was away, she kept in consistent contact, sending updates and the cutest pictures—my dogs looked so happy and relaxed, which gave me such peace of mind. It’s hard to trust someone else with your pets, but Mahaila made it easy. I’ve never felt more confident leaving them in someone else’s care. She’s officially our go-to now, and I’m so grateful we found her!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for the last 15 years. After getting a Labrador and realizing how much I hated leaving him alone while working I started helping friends out by either letting their dogs out and or taking them for walks. I also started staying with their dogs when they went out of town. Sometimes keeping their fur babies at my house with my boy. Recently closed my business after 34+ years. Looking for something different and relaxing to do now and there is nothing more relaxing than spending time with dogs. Can pretty much work anytime. I enjoy walking dogs and playing with them. I will follow all instructions for your fur baby. Walking has become my passion for my and my fur baby's health and enjoyment.

“Teri was excellent with our cat Reagan. Engaged her in play with some toys that she brought and left our healthy and happy. Thank you so much Teri. We'll definitely use you again and recommend to others.”

About: Over the past couple years, I’ve taken care of many dogs. I was trusted to watch two elderly epileptic Rottweilers for a week and gave the family the freedom to go on vacation for the first time in 13 years. I was also a constant at one of my friends house to watch her five Boykin spaniels. I helped one of my friends gain leashed confidence and control with their large German shepherd husky mix. I was known around the neighborhood as someone to call if you needed a pet sitter I love all animals not just dogs and cats and would be happy to watch your fur babies for you. I’m currently working part-time at Publix, but I’m available Monday through Friday after 8am. Weekends are doable we just need to check for time in my schedule. I am very flexible and willing to work with you and your needs as well. Currently I do not offer in my home just with my current situation. I am willing to drive and/or walk your dog to a dog park. Or I do just offer to walk your dog. Just depends on what you are looking for!

“My one-year old Havanese pup is an "attach dog" who suffers from separation anxiety. Toby quickly adapted to Melissa's patient and loving care during his recent stay during my daughter's wedding festivities. Communication was great! Highly recommend.”

“Sara was amazing. She was extremely helpful in making my 1st experience enjoyable. She communicated well and kept me in the mix while I was away. I would highly recommend Sara and would use her again when I'm away”

About: My favorite pastime is walking with the dogs. In your neighborhood or in mine, we can go fast or we go slow, just as long as we go! No day is complete without some wags and walks. Does your fur baby need a special day or time for a walk? We can go on a morning run, afternoon walk, or an evening stroll. I do sleepovers! Does your pup want to stay at your place or mine? Either is fine. I have extra room on my couch and a comfy bed for your fur baby to lay their head.

About: I have successfully run an animal farm and currently volunteer at the animal shelter. I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. I will care for your pet as my own animals! I will care for your pet as my own and your pet will be my top priority! I have run my own business and am great at scheduling as well as communication. I do not have a fenced yard so at my home your pet will always be walked with a leash. If I am in your home I will ensure that I will follow your exact instructions.

About: Experience with older dogs and special needs dogs. Have owned two toy poodles and currently own a small mix breed 9-year-old dog. Have experience caring for a dog who lost his sight.

I have a large fenced in yard which is great for playing and exercise, and a small breed 9-year-old dog. Very dog friendly environment with privacy.

About: I've had many pets growing up, from cats, dogs and fish to a chinchilla! Ive gained so much experience and knowledge throughout my 18 years of living, but I love having more! Your fur babies will be my top priority as long as they're in my care. I'm currently just looking for something to do that I love! All I have going on is enjoying the summer before college! I love meeting new pets! If there's anything I take more seriously then keeping your pet safe and happy, is making sure your home is respected and left spotless for when you get back!

About: I currenty have a wife open schedule, I have had pets my entire life. My current pets are a loving pitbull mix and 2 cats. I helped train my pitbull since he was a puppy. I have also had to help carry the hips of my senior dog when he was not able to walk on his own for potty breaks. I currently have a wide open schedule so I am able to provide frequent potty breaks for any age. I do not travel often and have family localy so you can pretty much guarantee I am available during the various holidays. Unfortunately I have a rabbit and cats so I cannot have your pets in my home. However, I am a very tidy person so your home will look as if you never left. I will stick to their routine and make sure they have loads of play time. I strive to be their favorite human when you are not around.

“We highly recommend Russell! We felt confident leaving our two bulldogs in his care - he stopped over to get acquainted and seemed very experienced with the breed and dogs in general! We got pics and updates during his stay.”

About: I still miss my dog, Rosie. She passed away 2 years ago and it is the first time in my life that I have not been a dog owner. I miss her companionship, the golf cart rides and wonderful time spent together. Dog sitting is a way to have that dog companionship that makes me happy but also allows that travel time with my better half. I am a full time retiree who spends most of my time at home except for a few golf games. I enjoy walking dogs and I know all the dogs in our neighborhood. I have hardwood floors and I would want your dog to be able to feel at home here. I would keep his/her feeding and potty times same as usual. I find it helpful to have a daily routine from you,

About: Pet sitting comes naturally to me since I grew up with four dogs! Neighbors rely on me to watch their dogs when they are out of town! I love all dogs but mainly the ones that don’t understand personal space! I always communicate about my availability and how the pet(s) is doing! I have a funky schedule as a young person who is in school and working part time but I can always be available for a dog! We have a fenced in yard for any size dog to play in. I have 1 large dog who plays well with any kind of dog. I have plenty of time to take a long walk after work to exercise not only the dog but also me! I love getting outside and letting the dog(s) sniff as much as needed. I don’t end the walk until all of their business is taken care of. I have a fenced in yard and access to a paved and shaded walking path. I have 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. My dogs are crate trained so no worries if your dog needs more one on one care.

About: I enjoy dogs and having their company. My teenagers are gone and I find myself at home a lot. I prefer to be outside which is perfect for doggie walks:) Thought about child care but honestly prefer animals and the flexibility it still allows me. I work at the schools and have my summer free. I am a 48 yr old mom who has raised two boys and dog sat several neighbors and families dogs. If someone in area needs a safe loving environment for their pup while they travel, i would enjoy being able to help out. I enjoy dog personalities and spoiling them! Their unconditional love is precious and should never be abused. x o x o x o x o x o
