House Sitting in Beechwood, Sarasota, FL

“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%”

About: I have provided pet care services to dogs and cats of all ages and needs. From walking the neighbors dogs to watching their cats at night, I am ready for whatever care your animal needs. I am also equipped from the personal care of the dogs and cats my family and I rescued from baby to senior. I can’t wait to meet your pets and make them feel at home! I generally work 9-6 weekdays but my schedule fluctuates week to week and is flexible on weekends. I am happy to provide care before and after my work day. Let’s find a time! I will provide a safe environment in the home for the pets maintaining whatever feeding and bathroom schedule they are on. I love playing with animals and just keeping them company :).

“Emma followed through from our initial meet and greet to her daytime and overnight visits, leaving us confident that our 11 y.o. dog was well cared for. We will definitely be working with Emma again, in fact we already have booked her for another weekend.”

“Cannot convey the level of gratitude we have for having Libah stay at our home with our 2 pups. They are definitely not the easiest so her confidence and communications allowed us to enjoy our journey with out concern. They were excited to see us but were so content when we returned. I cannot say thank you enough to the level or professionalism, honesty and trust we had. THANKS Libah!!!!”

About: I have had dogs for 11 years and have been volunteering weekly at my local humane society since March of 2025. My chihuahua is a senior and my other dog I have had since she was a puppy so I understand the difference of care dogs require at all stages of life. I'm currently working part time and in college full time so I am free on weekends to hang out with your adorable doggies! I am working on revamping my schedule so I can eventually be free during the week for your pets. We will be having lots of snuggle time and playtime in your home. If just relaxing inside, we may watch Bluey together. I will be taking pictures of your pets to later send to you of the fun we are having. I treat all dogs as if they were my child so they will be loved and cared for while you are gone.

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”

“I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.”

About: I was the proud dog mama of two adopted dogs with medical issues. I know how tough it is to go out of town and find someone responsible to follow medication schedule or make a nervous dog feel at ease. I am patient, responsible and never met a dog/car i didn't love. Your babies are in good hands I have a lot of freedom with my current job in which I have 3 day weekends to play with your beloved puppies and/or cats. I will abide strictly by owners rules for their babies, ie, medicine, walks, sleep in the bed and extra play time! I'm here to make sure your pet is safe and loved!

“We can highly recommend Jill after she stayed with our rambunctious terrier for six days! He loved her! She took him on long walks and gave him lots of love and attention. Jill was great at communicating with us and was so understanding when a problem came up on our end. She took great care of our home and left it spotless!”

“Laura was an excellent sitter. Jax was well cared for and looked happy in his pics. She took him to the park, which he loves, and slept with her, which I didn’t think he would do. Laura also left my place immaculate! Vacuumed, cleaned the fridge, emptied the dishwasher, washed the sheets and towels. An excellent house guest and sitter.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a baby. I’ve begun taking care of my neighbor’s pets when I was in middle school. I’ve seen all species of animals from dogs to fish to even lizards! I am not afraid to get down and dirty if need be! Currently looking for a job, so I am available anytime any day! No need to worry about a job getting in the way! I will be available until further notice While I cannot provide board at this time, I can come to your home, clean and take care of the house if need be. I can handle any situation

“Erin has been fantastic with our 2YO Lab. She cares a lot, she personalizes her service in every possible way to adapt to your family's needs. Our dog learnt new things and she received lots of cuddles. We trust her and we will hire her again of course !”

About: I have been around many different breeds and personalities of dogs since I was a baby because my family has always been involved in rescuing animals. This experience has given me a deep understanding of what each pet needs. I graduated from high school in May 2025 and completed technical college in October 2025, specializing in automotive technology. I’ve always loved working with my hands, whether I’m fixing up my truck or taking on a new project. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, where I feel most at home and energized. For the past four years, I’ve worked closely with kids, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to adapt to different personalities and needs. While I’ve loved that experience, I’m ready to explore new paths that challenge me in different ways and allow me to expand my abilities. I’ve spent my whole life around rescue pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and other animals. I understand that every pet needs time to adjust to new people, so I always respect their space and let them warm up at their own pace. I make sure each pet gets the right amount of attention, whether that means going for a walk, playing, or just relaxing and keeping them company. When I care for pets at the client’s home, if there is a fenced yard, I enjoy spending time outside with them—sitting, playing, and simply being outdoors. Some pet owners do not have yards or prefer walks, which works perfectly for me because I love being outdoors and staying active. I also make detailed notes about each pet’s daily routine to help them feel comfortable and get used to me as their new caregiver. I drive a lifted vehicle and always bring doggie stairs to help any pets that can’t quite make the jump up. I also keep the doggie stairs handy in case of emergencies or if pet parents ask me to take their pets on a car ride.

“Kailea was amazing and sweet with our girls. She made sure to occupy their time with walks and snuggles. She had great communication and asked questions when needed. You can tell she has a big heart and cares. We will be asking her to watch the girls again.”

About: Growing up, I always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I loved animals, and I still do. My home is very clean, not just for myself but for them as well. Pets have always been a soft spot for me, and I make time for them every day. I can’t remember a time without furry friends in my home! I’m observant and attentive to every pet’s personality. I make sure they feel comfortable in their favorite spots, whether it’s their bed or a special corner in your home. I follow all instructions carefully from meals and treats to medications and routines to give your pet the care they deserve.

About: Hi there! I’m an experience dog sitter. I’ve always had dogs growing up, I’ve worked for doggy daycares in the past now I mainly do referral dog sitting. I’m excited to meet your pets! I’m currently working but I love getting up early to go on walks and would to take your pet with me! I’m available most evenings as well as occasionally throughout the week. I do not do pet sitting in my own home but I am more than happy to watch your pets in their home where they’re most comfortable.

“Extremely grateful for Carolina. Worked around my schedule last minute to watch my dog in my house for a week. Dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. Added bonus of also being very communicative. Highly recommend”

“First time Rover user but Sam was on-time even after we asked her to come extra early, left the house clean and our dog Mowgli seems to be very happy.”

“Seth was very attentive and communicated daily about the dogs with photos. He even applied ear antibiotics and cleaned Izzy's ears daily, as she got an ear infection just prior to him dog/house sitting.”
