The nation's largest network of 5-star pet sitters and dog walkers

I am a middle age happily married woman who has always loved animals and pets my whole life. I work for myself as a cook/companion for a couple elderly people.
I also have been a caregiver of animals, mostly dogs in the last 20 years for family, friends and others that I have been introduced to. I have always found clients by word of mouth.
My wonderful husband Rob, works FT as a landscape/lawn maintenance supervisor. He loves to come home and play with all the awesome puppies. (We call them puppies even if they are up in years and 110 lbs.) I have numerous pics of him sleeping with them on the couch. So much for "Not on the furniture." :)
My yard is fenced in and my pool is about 2 ft above ground. I have a screened in patio. My house is open for animals to stay inside with air conditioning.
A typical day with animals at my house is hugs, breakfast, potty, treats, a walk if required or run around in the yard and lay in the shade to watch the world go by. Come in with more hugs and water. Usually lay around and take a nap. Outside to go potty when they ask and more hugs. Chase the ball outside and play tug of war with lots of stuffed animals inside. We have a huge basket of toys. Dinner, treats, potty and more hugs. If the animals are potty trained and well behaved, I give them the freedom to not have to sleep in their crate but not on furniture and not on the bed. Some prefer to sleep in their crates but I leave the door open for them again if they are well behaved. Any activity outside pertains to dogs, not cats. They would stay inside the house or limit to the screened in patio.

I am 24 years old living in Jupiter, Florida while I am nannying and studying towards a Master's degree in holistic nutrition. I have three dogs in my house, walk and sit for dogs (and other animals) on a random schedule and am looking for some extra money to save while living at home! I have cared for dogs of all ages (and fostered dogs and cats from 4 weeks of age to older adults). Due to the fact that I have three dogs living in my home already, I am not able to keep your animal with me but I would be glad to care for them at your house. I do this a lot and am extremely reliant and trustworthy. I genuinely enjoy doing these jobs and will make sure to keep you updated on how your pets are doing throughout my stay with them.

My daughter and I have been volunteering at a two local animal rescues for the past 6 years. Now we have a "doggie home!" We have dogs coming and going and foster to those that don't have a chance at the shelter. It is our passion. We have many types all sizes and shapes and love all of them. I l know how important a pet is to a family and would love to help you with your petsitting, bathing, walking, home visits & transportation and extra love attention and spoiling with care. Not more than 2-3 dogs at a time. Mostly we are able to give one on one attention to each dog. We believe in outings, walks, beach visits, dining and lots of hugs & love.

Up for anything! Whatever your pet(s) need(s), I am here to help with love and care. Having grown up with dogs of my own, in addition to regularly dog-sitting, I couldn't impinge not having pet-care as a part of my every day. With a promise to love and care for your pet as I would my own, you will not have to worry on bit about them getting everything - truly, the essentials and more - they need under my care! Plus, who can really refrain from loving on pups (we all know that a dog of any age is still a "pup" to those who love him/her)? Not me!

I started a petsitting business several years ago.....I take care of all sorts of animals! When you have to leave your pets...I pack my suitcase, move in and stay with them. If they sleep with you, they sleep with me. Not only do most pet owners find this preferable to boarding, my clients love having a house sitter also. The main reason I started this business was because I realized that most pets are much happier in their own home...sticking to their regular routine. I am licensed, insured and bonded. I have clients who call me months before their time away. .when they're planning a vacation and, I have clients who call me for a last minute getaway. A few of my clients just have me do "the dropin thing" 3 or 4 times daily...but, most prefer that I move in and stay. I am extremely lucky to be doing a job that I love so much....one where I always get unconditional love!
