House Sitting 17th Street

“Devynn was wonderful. I was on a cruise and didn’t have service so she made sure to keep in contact with my mom until I could check in. Mumfy seemed so happy. She sent pictures every day. I will definitely use her again.”

“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”

“Cyndee is an absolutely wonderful sitter. She was so good with the babies and was very helpful and accommodating with my travel plans. She sent regular updates and pictures and responded very fast to my questions. I cannot say enough how awesome she is, and I will definitely work with her again!!!”

“Christina was awesome! Stayed in contact with us and sent tons of pictures and videos while we were gone for a WEEK! 100% will be using her services again. Thank you so much, Christina! 🐶🐈‍⬛💕”

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.

“Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.”

About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about making both pets and owners feel comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home with someone else, and I treat that responsibility with a lot of care. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to the little details that help pets feel secure, from keeping their routine consistent to giving them the right mix of affection, space, and structure. I also write everything down and make sure I have the routine down to a T. I’m comfortable with pets who have different personalities and needs, whether they’re shy, anxious, energetic, senior, or still learning the rules. I have been around large dogs as well as smaller dogs and cats all my life. I can comfortably handle all sizes of pets. I follow instructions closely, communicate clearly, and always try to care for pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I pride myself on being deeply organized and always giving 100 percent, as well as being an open communicator. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. Pet care fits well into my current daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and am able to plan my day around each pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know consistency can make a big difference, especially when their owner is away. I care for pets in their own home because I know many pets feel safest and most comfortable in a familiar environment. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the space with the same respect and care I would want from someone caring for my own home. Safety and trust are very important to me. I’m very mindful of each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want attention and playtime right away, while others need patience, space, and a calm presence. I do my best to meet each pet where they are and keep their routine as normal as possible. I also take caring for someone’s home seriously. I keep things clean, tidy up after pets, respect the client’s space, and communicate clearly if I notice anything unusual.

“Abby was amazing, kind, thoughtful and took great care of my older dog. She sent wonderful pictures and made sure I felt included while I was away. I would highly recommend and will be asking her to help in future trips- thank you”

Andrea A.

“Sara was wonderful with our dog Seve. Seve loved Sara from the moment he met her. She is very prompt, professional and responsible. We look forward to having Sara watch Seve in the near future.”

Kristin M.

“Vanessa was a wonderful housesitter for my dog, Zoey. She kept in touch by sending pictures and texts daily. She followed all the suggestions and directions that were important to me and took very good care of my dog, Zoey. When I arrived home at 9:00pm, I noticed that she had cleaned and dusted my home and washed and remade the bed that she had used. I have already booked Vanessa for an upcoming trip next month. I would definitely recommend her if you live in the Bradenton area.”

Jayne S.

“We have had Erin watch our pups quite a few times and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! I think a friend of ours even used her for her new pup. Great communication, love the photos and our doodles absolutely love her company.”

Ashley R.

“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”

Jen S.

“Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!”

Alissa P.

“Rabekah was fabulous. Responded quickly and professionally to all communications, very sweet with our dogs, and went above and beyond in so many ways. We have one difficult dog that she won over quickly, and was patient with any additional needs. Will definitely book again.”

Jesse K.

“Tracy was wonderful with our dog and cat. Our dog is blind and anxious and she administered all his medications and helped him feel at ease. She took wonderful care of our home and even left it cleaner than when we left!”

Michelle W.

“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”

About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.

About: I treat every pet like family, offering personalized care and devoted attention to ensure they feel safe, loved, and truly at home while you're away. I can adjust my availability to accommodate specific requirements upon request, ensuring personalized attention and care for each pet’s unique needs and well-being, providing a comforting and secure experience. I prefer caring for pets in my home as it allows me to be more attentive, providing a loving environment that makes them feel at home and lessens their sense of their owner's absence. However, if the owner prefers, I can also visit their home to care for the pets, ensuring their comfort and routine are maintained.
