“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.”

“Max had a great first stay with Stephany! He is an active beagle and he got plenty of exercise during his stay! We really appreciated the pictures and videos!”

“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!”

“Marycarmen was awesome! Super attentive, sent updates throughout the day and our fluff boy was exhausted the whole next day! She walked him and played with him and he Loved the fenced backyard. Will definitely use Marycarmen again!”

“Christal watched our puppy for our first time away from him and she did an incredible job! She was so accommodating and reassuring. We could tell she gave him much attention and exercise. He was actually excited to see her and sad when he was picked up and had to leave. I would recommend her to anyone! If only we had more than 5 stars!”

“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!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

About: I've owned and trained big dogs my whole life, but it's been a few years since the loss of my best friend Eva (pitbull mix). For now, I take pride in being Aunt Rachel to my friend’s animals, and soon yours too! With me, your furry family member will get plenty of love, exercise, and care. I work remotely, and live in downtown Sarasota, so your pet will get plenty of steps in as we explore the town! I wake up early every morning to go for a walk, am flexible for midday walks, and in the evening, I usually go down to the bay where your pet and I can enjoy the sunset. I keep my place neat and tidy, but that won’t stop me from inviting your pet on the couch or bed because animals deserve to be comfy too! I wake up early every morning to go on a walk and I come home and work from there. I'm flexible to do midday walks, and I usually catch sunset at the bay where I can bring your pet.. I keep a clean place, but that doesn't stop me from patting the couch or my bed for your pet to lay because animals deserve to be comfy too!

About: As a mom of two and a fellow pet owner, I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. My home is safe, calm, and full of love. I treat every animal like part of the family! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I work from home and have the flexibility to give your pet the attention they may need. I can offer a lot of outdoor time with my large fenced in yard, a calm enviornment and walks around the neighborhood for exercise if needed.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. From my families, to my neighbors and to my friends, they have all asked me for help. I am working part time right now, and I set my own schedule. So, I can work any time, any place. Let me know what works best for you. I always try to treat the animal with the upmost respect. They are living creatures and deserve the best treatment possible. I am very friendly to them and let them build trust with me first.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

About: Caring for others is what I do best! I’ve raised two incredible children and we had two sweet cats while the kids were growing up in Massachusetts. I moved to Sarasota 2 years ago and have been dearly missing having pets and family around the house. I’ve loved and cared for many friends’ dogs over the years too and would absolutely love to care for your dogs & cats! I work a very flexible schedule from home in Downtown Sarasota, so I’m always available for pickup/drop-off/walks/jogs/potty-breaks. I am an avid walker (every evening) and I always take breaks throughout the day to go outside, workout, & move around, so I’d love nothing more than a buddy to come with! I have an open layout apartment with a small balcony, and I live across the street from a lovely park. My home is very safe for pets, and I’m able to keep an eye on them at all times since the apartment is petite and I work from the center of it. I’m more than happy to accommodate any environmental requests/needs you may have, just let me know!
