“Sherry is so kind and wonderful to my pups. I have a very busy schedule that fluctuates tremendously so when I need a last minute visit, she’s very accommodating. I have 4 pups who have meds and are somewhat on the special needs side and not only is Sherry trustworthy, but she also confirms with me if there is a slight difference with instructions to ensure she gets it correct. I highly recommend her to watch your pups!! You won’t be disappointed :)”

“Jackie was fantastic. We appreciated her quick response to our request and her follow through to meet with us was exactly what we needed. Jackson enjoyed his time with Jackie. I will reach out to again in the future.”

About: I’ve had a dog(s) since the day I was born. I am super comfortable with taking care of any size or breed of dog as they are a man’s best friend and I will try to make them feel like they are my own! I work from home full time during the week. So I’m able to take care of your pets needs throughout the day if needed My pup is a free roamer in the house and is allowed on the couches and beds, your pet(s) would be able to do the same as they are in paradise over here!

“Dana was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. She was reliable, flexible, and very personable. She made sure to update me regularly and send photos which I love. I would consider her again in the future and highly recommend to others looking for pet care!”

“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”

“Rachel did an amazing job while doing check in’s for our cat, Dave. Our cat is very social and loves having people around so we worry when we go out of town. We could tell when we got home how much he enjoyed having Rachel come visit, we’re pretty sure he was sad it was us walking in the door and not her. It was such a relief knowing he was well taken care of while we were gone, we will definitely be using Rachel’s services the next time the need arises.”

About: 🐾 Your Pets Aren’t Just Pets — They’re Family! 🐾 Hi, I’m Sherri! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I spent 4.5 years working at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for all types of animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I specialize in caring for large breeds, having been a Great Dane owner for over 10 years. I understand the unique needs of giant breeds — from their big personalities and gentle hearts to their exercise, comfort, and care requirements. Large dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’m confident providing the patience, handling, and attention they deserve. I have experience with extended house and pet sitting, and my own home is a mini animal family! I currently share my life with a Great Dane named Dunkin, a rescue pup named Potato, a Siamese cat named Yodel, a bird named Yoo-Hoo, and a tortoise named Sam. My animals are my babies and are involved in my everyday life. Many of my pets are rescues and require extra patience, understanding, and TLC — something I provide naturally. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication assistance, special care, or simply a loving companion while you’re away, I’m happy to customize my services to fit their needs. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and spoiled just like they would at home. I’ve been told I take the best pictures 📸, and I love keeping pet parents updated with adorable photos and fun moments so you can feel connected while you’re apart. I’m located in Ruskin, available most weekends, and would love the opportunity to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member. Let’s get walking! 🐶🐾 — Sherri My schedule is currently very flexible. I have a standing commitment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a local dog walk, but I am available outside of those hours to accommodate your pet care needs. I also offer late-night walks and visits for clients who work overnight shifts or have nontraditional schedules, and I'm happy to work with you to create a schedule that best fits you and your pet. I offer both overnight stays in your home and drop-in visits, depending on your pet's needs. We can discuss the best option during our meet-and-greet to ensure you're comfortable and your pet receives the highest level of care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and attentive care. I am also clean, neat, and organized, and I take pride in respecting your home by leaving it just as I found it.

About: I am a young college student who is dedicated and can keep up with any size dog. I love to go on all kinds of walks and play with dogs and cats I am currently a full time online college student but I am very flexible with walking hours. I’m not too busy and with summer coming up I will be even less busy I am flexible with coming to a clients home and to whatever environment your dog would be comfortable with! Just let me know what’s needed

About: I'm a devoted pet lover and proud companion to two joyful dogs, 1 cat, I understand how deeply our animals shape our lives. I don’t just watch pets. I welcome them into a space filled with warmth, routine, and affection. I treat each animal with the same love and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, seen, and truly at home. At home, pets join my two friendly dogs in a calm, loving space with lots of play and snuggles. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and care for them like they’re my own—gentle, present, and always kind. 🐾 At my place, pets hang out with my two sweet dogs in a cozy, calm space full of love. At your place, I stick to their routine and give them the same gentle care I’d want for mine.

“Noel has been an incredible care giver! She is someone you can trust to take care of your pets. She not only went above and beyond each visit, but also took on more days on zero notice when my flight got canceled.”

“Melissa was awesome! We had a last minute change of plans and Melissa was able to help us out! Gave us a great detailed report of her visit and sent many pictures ☺️ We hope Melissa will be able to spend more time with our dogs in the future! If she is available I would definitely recommend booking her!”

About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail. My schedule is entirely flexible because pet care is my professional focus. As the founder of a non-profit rescue, I have the autonomy to adjust my daily workload to ensure I am available for early mornings, critical medication times, and unexpected last-minute needs. Reliability is guaranteed. I care for every pet with the rigor of a professional rescuer and the heart of an advocate. Safety First: My background as a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) influences every decision I make. I am trained in risk assessment, meaning I proactively identify hazards (loose screens, toxic plants, escape routes) before they become problems. I am also fully trained in pet CPR and First Aid. Building Trust: Trust is built through consistency. Running a non-profit organization requires impeccable ethics and reliability. Whether in my home or yours, I adhere to strict feeding and medication schedules. A Low-Stress Environment: Using my Jackson Galaxy certification, I prioritize the pet's emotional well-being. I don't force interaction; instead, I use positive reinforcement and body language cues to build a bond. I am experienced in maintaining a sterile, healthy environment, ensuring that food bowls, litter boxes, and living areas are kept to rescue-grade standards of cleanliness.

“She was great with our dog and kept him well loved while we were away! 😌”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from family pets to working K9s and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I have hands on experience in dog boarding, drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight care, and crate routines, plus nearly a year working in the boarding and grooming department at Boyette Animal Hospital. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. Because I work full-time in a hybrid, your pup gets attentive care and supervision throughout the day 💛 Available Sunday–Saturday: • 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM • 4:00 PM – 12:00 AM Please note: I cannot accept drop-offs on Tuesdays or Wednesdays until after 6:30 PM. My calendar stays updated for accuracy! ✔️Safe playtime in a fenced yard ✔️ Walks & enrichment ✔️ Feeding per your schedule ✔️ Crate/uncrate if requested ✔️ Clean-up during yard time or walks ✔️ Plenty of love & photo updates 📸 I treat every dog like family and prioritize safety, comfort, and happiness at every visit.

About: I've been watching dogs, cats, birds, and scaly pet friends for over 10 years on Rover and otherwise. I have experience with elderly dogs and puppies, senior cats and kittens, you name it, I've probably seen it! I have traveled across the country while sitting for someone, no job is too big or small! If you're interested in any of my services I can provide references and information at any time, give me a call or shoot a text! I look forward to meeting you and your little sidekick! Currently working full time as a pet sitter. I'm very familiar with pets who need an extra special eye on their diets, walking routines and habits, and playtime. Walking during the summer can be hard on you and your pet, if your little companion needs a specially timed walk to avoid the brutal sun then I'm flexible and willing to learn their ways! If your pet has robust dietary needs or maybe you just like feeding them extra heartily and putting time and care into their diets then I'm no stranger to that!

“Calida was a very sweet person who did drop in visits for my cat. While my cat was being shy and NOT friendly, Calida did manage to snap a few pictures for me, lol. I had never met Calida and her hubby prior, but I felt very comfortable allowing them into my home while I was away. I would definitely use them again.”
