“Kim is absolutely fantastic! Great communication and super patient and loving with even the most diva of dogs. 10/10 would use again. She sent great pics and made sure Jolie enjoyed all the spoils we would give if we were with her. Perfect. Thank you Kim!”
3. Sky S.
“This was the first time I used Sky to house and cat sit for me and I am very pleased. First of all, she came to my house to meet us and to discuss my cat's daily routine. She was very professional and attentive, and also gentle when approaching my cat. While I was away, Sky sent me a photo of my cat every day, along with a description of what they did that day, both of which I really appreciated. When I came home, I found everything very clean and in good order, including the litterbox and all of her dishes washed and ready for use. My bed was also freshly made, another very kind thing to do for me! I highly recommend using Sky as a pet sitter and a house sitter, you will be happy you did!”

7. Masha I.
“MASHA IS INCREDIBLE! The best dog sitter in Sarasota!!! I have had many sitters and she sets the bar incredibly high. She provides excellent care, I mean EXCELLENT care. She went above and beyond caring for my pup and providing updates. She left my home in better condition than she found it. She came on very short notice and is such a pro it was the most comfortable I have ever felt while being away. I truly truly felt like she cared for him as if he was her own dog. Seriously look no further Masha is the best choice in a dog sitter.”
8. Danielle T.

9. Katie B.

“We needed a last-minute sitter for our two dogs in our home and Sam was able to help us out! Good communication throughout her stay and we received some pictures and updates. No issues at all!!! I will definitely use Sam again!!!”
11. Victoria F.
“Victoria was amazing with our dog while we were gone. Our older dog unfortunately passes away a week before we left town and we couldn’t change our plans so we were so worried about our younger dog. Victoria gave her lots of love and attention and made sure she was kept occupied a lot so she didn’t get sad. She even brought her dogs over to play with her and brought them to our dog park. We couldn’t have been more grateful to her for taking such good care of our baby. We would recommend her 100%”
12. Brenda G.
“Loved, loved, loved Brenda! She watched my 8 month old puppy for 2 weeks while I was away. I got updates and photos almost every day. They showed a happy dog who was pleased to be with her new friend. My puppy also got to play with Brenda’s dog which was a plus. Even my neighbors commented that Brenda was lovely - she is a keeper. I’ll definitely be using her again. You should too.”
13. Anna B.
“She took very good care of my little girl.”
14. Julie N.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Julie as a trustworthy and loving dog walker! She’s been an incredible caregiver for my two Shih Tzus, Baxter and Waylon, who both adore her. Julie is not only reliable and punctual, but she also shows genuine affection and care for my dogs. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in safe, responsible hands with her. If you're looking for someone who treats pets like family, Julie is the best choice!”
15. Sarah Z.
“Sarah was amazing! I loved all the updates, videos, and pictures that she sent me. The feedback was great because I was able to let her know if Honey B’s behavior was normal. I will definitely use her in The future.”
16. Quinn B.
“Quinn was an exceptional cat and house sitter who truly went above and beyond during her stay. Not only did she provide excellent communication throughout, keeping me fully informed, but she also sent numerous pictures of my cat, ensuring I felt connected and at ease. Her attention to detail was astounding; she even washed my sheets and made my bed before leaving. Quinn's dedication and care are unparalleled. I highly recommend her services to anyone.”
17. Erin F.
“Erin took great care of our dog and cat! I received lots of updates and photos throughout the stay, and they were both happy when we got home. The house was also spotless when we arrived. We will definitely use Erin’s services again in the future!”
18. Joy O.
“Joy is absolutely fantastic. My pup had a waggy tail for her the second time that he met her, and he usually takes a long time to trust someone. I was quite surprised and thoroughly pleased. It made leaving him in her care so much easier for me. I will absolutely have Joy stay in my home and take care of Jax EVERY time that I am away. She was a perfect guest and fantastic caretaker for Jax.”
19. Fabrice L.
“Fabrice was absolutely great for our short trip out of town! The pups loved him, he was punctual and in regular communication, and was very personable and kind. The house was better than when we left, when we returned! We look forward to using him again for future travels and would strongly recommend anyone considering his services!”
20. Danielle D.
“I had a great experience with Danielle during her stay at my home watching my dog and cat while I was away.

Thanks again Danielle for allowing me to have my mind at ease while traveling, knowing the pets were taken care of.”
