About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong love for pets. I have a dog and two cats of my own, and I also ride and care for horses, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or house stays you can count on me to keep your pets happy, safe, and loved. I’m currently a college student looking to make some extra cash for school. I keep an open schedule usually in mornings or evenings. But I’m always willing to work with you. I give my pets and my clients the upmost respect and love, after all they are like our family. Following schedules and making sure everything gets done for them properly. I also love to document so taking pictures and videos for clients is important to me as well.
“The app would not have let me tip more than 30% and then it wouldn’t let me tip all of that. Absolutely does a great job and I will definitely use again. Rover needs to do better and allow tips higher than 30%..”
About: I've taken care of pets ever since I could remember. I started off watching neighbor pets and family friends pets. Then they would recommend me and I started watching other people's pets! I have had experience working at animal clinics in the boarding department for several years. I was even a vet tech for a little over a year. I have years of experience with all kinds of pets and all kinds of temperaments. I have many references if needed! I love all animals and would love to meet your babies!🥰 Right now I work 12 hour shifts on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday’s I work a regular 8 hour day. I have Thursday through Sunday off every week unless I pick up a shift so I am very available most of the week. I am hoping I get enough clients on here that I can keep those 4 days off and dedicate it to this job and my love of animals. I live in an apartment for a few more weeks but it does have a fenced in little dog park! If I am just walking or dropping in on your baby I can do whatever you need me to!
About: Growing up, I have always had a dog in my life. Until the age of 11, I had a German Shepard so I am experienced with larger dogs. I got my own dog when I was 9 so I understand the responsibility of being a pet owner or handler. In highschool, I pet sat for my neighbor, who was a nurse who worked late shifts at the hospital. I did this for about six months before she moved away. I would feed her dog, take him on multiple walks throughout the day, and spend hours at her place sometimes until she got home and other times until her dog was calmed down enough to the point I felt comfortable leaving him alone. I am also a cat owner and understand how the care they need is different from dogs. I have a dog and cat of my own so I am used to the constant fur and routine care for a beloved pet. I love animals and am home from college for a few weeks and would love to meet some new furry friends! I am unable to board your pet(s) at my home, but am more than willing to drive to your house to watch your pets and take care of them, including feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of love. I understand that some people may be hesitant to hire someone they don't know personally, so I am more than willing to meet you in-person before you think about hiring me. This will allow you and your pet(s) to get to know me beforehand. I am also willing to discuss rates other than the ones already set.
About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years now, and love every second of it! I have taken care of everything from Great Danes to Jack Russles, puppies and senior dogs with medications. I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re my own! I have a small salon in West Bradenton and my schedule varies. Some days your pet will only be left alone for an hour or two and other days it will be a typical workday 6-7 hours alone. I like to set up a pre-meeting to meet the animal and go over how you expect them to be taken care of; how their food is made, crated or not, leash while outside or not, and if they get walks. All of that will be talked about in the initial meeting. I also send pictures throughout the day/night. I am here to make you’re time away as stress free as possible.
About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.
About: I raised 3 daughters and they turned out OK! Your pets will be fine! I’m a retired snowbird living part of the year in Bradenton! Retired school counselor actually, so no pet can be as challenging as my students! As for pet experience, I’ve had 2 golden retrievers and bred them to for a total of 25 puppies. Add to that lots of cats, 3 horses and a goldfish or two, but now have an empty nest! Let me get my fix on your fur baby and know you’ll have piece of mind knowing they will be loved and cared for! I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to your needs so I am ready to meet you and your fur baby! Ready-set-go! Woof! I work very part time so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am willing to travel to your location to provide care for your pet. I prefer to take care of your pets in your home or neighborhood. My winter home is currently in an RV park that restricts animals.

“I would highly recommend Alexx! She is so lovable with my fur babies, caring and pays very close attention to detail. She also enjoys hanging out with them just because, and play with them.”
Ivan L.
“Hi! Ivan has been my dog's walker, sitter, and friend for months. My dog, Nash, loves spending time with him and I always know he's in good hands. On several occasions I've had to ask Ivan for extra dog walks or sittings on very short notice. He was always more than happy to help out and make sure Nash was safe and well cared for. They go on fun dog park trips together and Nash absolutely adores staying with Ivan and his family. I think he's just a bit sad to come back home sometimes! Ivan has always been a complete professional and very polite. There's very few people I would trust with my dog much less allow in my home alone, but with Ivan I have zero worries or fears.”
Julie R.

Clayton S.
“RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY, CARING: Clay is very attentive and great with ALL animals! He did drop in care for my baby goat over the weekend, as I had an out of town training and could only take my dogs. I came home to a happy and well loved kid :) He has also helped with exercising my dogs on days that I worked long hours. He is a soccer ref and makes sure to get outside with my babies whenever possible. He is the only one I trust to open my home and care for my fur babies when I am working. I dont use anyone else!”
