“Catalina was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dog, Banyan! From the start, she showed incredible expertise and genuine care, making sure Banyan was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication is top-notch—she’s always responsive and keeps you in the loop. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet caregiver. Banyan adored her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Karen was super sweet, great with Tippy. She was very thoughtful in how she introduced him to her home & other dogs. He had a good time! I will definitely use her again.”


“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!”

About: I give lots of love and attention making your furry kids feel like they are at home with the family! LOTS of play time, cuddles, walks, swimming, tug of war...whatever they like to do! :) They are part of the family so we eat, play,rest, walk and do everything together! I also provide transportation to the vet and groomer as well as pet errands. Many of my regulars have favorite chairs and toys when they come to stay. I believe it's important to make them as comfortable and loved as possible! I love it when I hear the owner say their furry one got excited when they turned into my neighborhood or driveway:) I truly love animals with all my heart. We have a Pawsome time! Pet sitting is my career and l am home every day except if l run errands or go to do a pet visit in the neighborhood. We are all together in the family room or outside on the deck during the day and sleep in my room at night. I have toys .balls and stuffed animals to play with and give treats regularly. Some sleep with me while others may like the xoych or chair

About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.

About: I have always had a special connection to animals and had pets. I LOVE dogs and nurturing them deeper than most will go. Hands on care is my gift; cuddles, baths, walks, etc. I love to help anxious pets and older pets feel safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have tons of time everyday to care for pets or make home visits/take pets on walks. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I have one sweet girl dog that is dog friendly and loves to socialize! I also have a small child so all dogs must be kid friendly. I can crate dogs or use puppy diapers if needed.

From administering medication to maintaining routines and providing plenty of playtime and affection, I ensure each pet feels at home. My patience, reliability, and passion for animals set me apart, making every stay comfortable and personalized. Whether your pup needs extra attention, structured training, or gentle senior support, I treat them like family. I will provide a reliable and compassionate care while you’re away. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care for pets.

In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I maintain their regular routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and exercise.

About: I have experince with many types of dogs big and small. Know how to interact and get them to use the bathroom. Can form a bond I am looking for work and think this could be a nice part time option as I find what works for me. I am very interested in dogs Sweep the floors every day, keep them on. A dollar not a leash due to the pull on the neck. Ac and water always running

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: 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!

“Gia was super responsive and booked same day as request. She took great care of my dog and spent all day playing with her, let her run in the yard, and made sure she had a meal. Would book again!!!”

14. Sophia F.
“As Sophia’s father, it brings me a deep sense of pride to write this testimonial. From the time she was young, Sophia has had a special, almost instinctive bond with animals—especially dogs. She’s not just good with them; she connects with them in a way that’s rare and beautiful to witness. Now 20 years old and a junior at the University of Florida studying Environmental Science, Sophia has always had a heart rooted in compassion—for nature, for people, and especially for animals. She has grown up with three Golden Retrievers: Dewey, Jackson, and Monte. (Ollie and Charlie our cats too) These dogs weren’t just pets—they were family. I’ve seen her rise early to walk them, nurse them when they were sick, laugh with them, talk to them, and love them with her whole heart. She treats every dog as if they were her own, with patience, gentleness, and a joyful spirit. When Sophia is with a dog, you can feel the mutual trust and love. It’s not forced—it’s who she is. She’s dependable, responsible, and deeply caring. There is no one I would trust more with a beloved pet. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog the way you would—maybe even better—Sophia is the one. I give her my wholehearted recommendation and a very enthusiastic 5 out of 5 stars. Sincerely, Bruce Famiglio A very proud father”

She has immense love for every living being and you can feel it in her presence. Growing up, my mom treated our cats like they were our siblings, and she was always the first to get a call whenever friends or neighbors were going out of town and needed dog-sitting coverage.
