Doggy Day Care in Alta Vista, Sarasota, FL

“SO MANY GOOD THINGS I COULD SAY!!! My boyfriend and I look at our two dogs, Hope (almost 2) and Zeus (3 months), like they are children. Our girl Hope can be an escape artist at times and is very active, so we have a collar for her with gps and tracking of her steps. With that being said, in the past I have not re-used some people off rover because Hope simply would not move the entire time!!! At Donnas, Hope and Zeus both ran and ran (after all I could tell). And had an absolute blast. Her yard is fenced in so no dog could get out, even our little lunatics. She knows so much about dogs I have never felt so confident with leaving our babies with someone before. Hope and Zeus will be back!! Truly a gem!”

“Kayla is amazing! Was available on super late notice and so accommodating. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Karen is a very loving and positive person. She was wonderful with my puppy. Finn is a seven month old Alaskan Malamute and very skittish. He was not exactly the right fit for the dogs in her home, but she worked very hard with him to make him as comfortable as possible. It was his first time being in a home with other dogs that he did not know. She was patient and kind and he was anxious, but very happy when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asked me.”

“Melissa is amazing. I contacted her last minute, my dog Sweetie felt right at home from the moment he met her. He had a great time with her and she was loving and sweet, my dog didn’t want to come back home, he was having a great time with her lol.”

“Awesome family. They took great care of our 7 month old puppy. He had a great time playing with there dog. They sent lot of pictures with him playing and enjoying his day. Will be using them again!”

“Lisa and Matt are amazing people! Their love for animals is immense and instantly obvious. They are so warm-hearted, detail oriented, loving, and communicative. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and requires a special regimen of (a lot of) medication. They set alarms to ensure his medication was administered on time, provided updates about his behavior and food/water intake, sent pictures of him, and made us feel so at ease. It is hard to find and trust quality pet sitters in general, but especially when your fur baby has special needs. We would 1000% recommend Lisa and Matt to anyone looking for quality care. Leo can’t wait to go back and spend time with their family and pets 🐾🖤 thank you Lisa and Matt!”

“She was so prompt in replying, communicating and keeping me updated on Oppie’s visit. I would definitely recommend and use them again when in the neighborhood”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my dog, Bucky, to Evelyn R., and I can't express enough how fantastic the experience was! From the moment I met her, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and an exceptional nurturing spirit. Her home was welcoming and safe, with a perfect setup for pets. Bucky came home happy and healthy, and I could tell he had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Evelyn R. for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you for giving Bucky such a remarkable experience! I will definitely be booking her services again in the near future!”

“What a wonderful sitter! She becomes like a new BFF for your pets! She really cared for our dog, Lola, who is a smaller mixed breed, like they were her own. Her dog is very friendly and loved playing with my dog. She sends the best updates so I always feel at ease when I'm away.”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for animals and pets of all kinds. I have always loved animals and the wonders of knowing them. I used to work at a wildlife rehab for a year before leaving home. Training and good habits is something that I love to work on always. I can work with puppies and seniors having the knowledge of the challenges that come with either. I have owned all kinds of pups, cats, and exotic pets. I wake up every morning to first go feed my beautiful corgi MO before myself. Feeding times are scheduled and rarely missed. Every weekend Mo and I go on a beautiful hike. During the week we play in the house, visit the dog park, or go to the beach. Any and every walk will be cleaned after and will work on leash manners. At the end of every walk I give rewards at the owners permission. Any pup that stays in my home must be well mannered in a house alone or have a crate as I do not own my home. I can work with separation anxiety and other minor poor habits. I do not give any human food to my pets and provide plenty of toys to keep pets happy and their brains stimulated. I always tidy up the home before I leave after a completed sitting.

“We hit the jackpot when we found Katie! Unfortunately, our trusted dog sitter moved away and our golden retriever had some scary health issues all in the same week that we needed a sitter. Needless to say, we were very stressed and pressed for time. Katie and her husband welcomed us in and let our boy explore before meeting her pup (the sweetest girl)! She asked for all his important information, sent us updates/pics, and was super flexible with pick up/drop off times. Not to mention, her prices are a steal for the level of care your pet will receive. Our baby was well taken care of and had so much fun that he didn’t want to come home. She is such a sweet and caring person and loves our dog like her own. We feel so lucky to have met Katie and we can’t recommend her enough :)”

“Took care of my pups last minute so I didn't have to crate them all day during my vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Thank you Anissa!”

“This was the second time we left Henry with Charlotte. She was as awesome as the first time. Very caring people!!! We are here on vacation but wish they lived in our area.”

“Ashley was great! Our pup is only 4 months and I wasn’t sure how this was going to go. However, she came home tired every day which is a great sign! This morning we didn’t drop her off and she was waiting at the door- looks like she was hoping to go back! She will be back for sure. Thank you!”

“Christal did a great job wearing my pup out! She took her for a walk at the park and to lunch. Loved how many pictures were sent! Will definitely be rebooking in future”

About: I have been pet sitting just as long as I have been Vet Tech which is 20+yrs. I started off petsiting cats, for one of the Dr's I worked with and over time developed a numerous amount of clients from just word of mouth! Since moving from Massachusetts to Florida I have unfortunately had to part from my longterm clients and the wonderful pets that I have grown to love over the years. I love what I do and take pride in caring for animals,especially enjoying their individuality and personalities! I treat every pet with comfort, care and compassion. ❤ I have medical knowledge and the ability to give medication (pills/injections) if needed. I do have experience with senior dogs/cats and their needs as well. If any additional requests are needed i.e nail trims,anal glands, baths,pick ups or drop off etc (just ask!) My schedule is flexible. I take into consideration to set up specific times schedule for your pet and their needs as it's my priority to make sure they stay in their routine as much as possible. I treat them as if they were my own and supply them with plenty of stimulation to keep them entertained and plenty of snuggles as they deserve❤ I currently work partime,but that doesnt interfere with the quality care I give your pets as I give them plenty of playtime,so they get the stimulation that is needed to enjoy their stay! I have a fenced in backyard that is kept locked, so your pet can enjoy plenty of playtime and get the exercise they need along with 2 friendly dogs to help!

“I had a very tired dog when I picked Clyde up! He had so much fun with Adrianna’s dogs and the freedom to run all day! I will surely request Adrianna’s services if I’m ever back in this area!! Thanks so much Adrianna!! You and your family took great care of my Clyde!!”

“Amelia was very nice and very good with Annie.”

“Rita has been a wonderful reliable addition to my dog walking team. She is punctual, easy to communicate with and cares deeply about the animals she is responsible for. Vivi loves her!”
