Pet Sitter Job in Plant City, Florida

I'm an
Individual
I have 3 dogs and am losing my petsitter to a US Army call up. I am mostly a stay at home dog mom, but I work temp contract jobs occasionally. And, my kids all live on the West Coast, so we travel to see them and also take the occasional vacation. I need someone to come in around mid-day for a week in November and then about 3 days a week in Feb - March. Also, possibly for 14 days in January overnight, and the occasional potty break in between. We have a fenced acre so no one needs to be walked. Just open the door and stand watch for hawks and the little ones. Zoey may want to play a bit. They all love just lounging around and Zoey loves her window bench. Mia is a 13 year old, 10 lb Yorkshire Terrier. All she wants to do is cuddle and be petted. Mia has a recurring inguinal hernia that causes no issues, but they don't want to try to fix it a 3rd time, and is in great health for her age. Mickey is a 6 year old, 5 lb Biewer Terrier. He is a registered Therapy Dog working primarily as a R(eading) E(ducation) A(ssistance) D(og). As you would expect, he lives for pets and scratches. Zoey is a 5 year old 83 lb German Shepherd. She has recently been diagnosed with dysplasia in both hips. Her favorite game was frisbee, but we are now adjusting to 'soccer'. She takes a supplement morning and night (loves them) and the occasional pain pill if she has a bad day - so far it is not very often. She loves these in a spoon of peanut butter! Zoey had a bad vet experience at 7 mo which left her very wary of people. She is NOT mean in any way, but shies away and barks. Because of this, any pet sitter we 'break in' will need to come for visits so she can get comfortable. We will start with me being home and work to you being able to enter alone without her being scared. We did this with our last sitter and it took about 4 visits for her to warm up to him enough to not be fearful. She has never been a cuddler but loves a good rump scratch or belly rub.
