“Elizabeth and Stephanie did a wonderful job watching our two boys over a 4 day period. They were very communicative sending text updates and a video very day. 100% satisfied and will definitely use them in the future! Great job! Highly recommend!!!”


“Lindsey was super! Puppies were happy and well cared for while we were gone and we got regular updates even over a busy Thanksgiving week. Lindsey is an excellent communicator, asking questions about things along the way both prior to and during the pet sitting sessions. She took nice care of the house, and was just wonderful to work with. THANK YOU LINDSEY!”


“Sara was just wonderful. I think my dog had a better weekend with her than he ever would with us! She took him on field trips and also snuggled him on the couch. He is very lucky we found her!”


“If I could give a 100 ⭐️ rating for Cole I definitely would. I had a family reunion in another state to attend and my Molly is not only my emotional support animal but she’s also getting older and dealing with senior dog issues with hearing and seeing and getting weak in her back legs and I was panicking about leaving her in a kennel when my concierge sent me some people who could stay at my home and take care of her I carefully reviewed the list and immediately Cole stood out and I had a feeling in my heart he’s the one! We met before leaving town so he could meet Molly and she would get to know him a little and not be afraid. He kept in constant contact while we were gone and sent pictures of her cuddling with him. My heart just melted 🥰 We got home from our trip and Molly wasn’t expecting us and barked and backed up like we were strangers lol because she wanted Cole back. My husband and I are so very grateful and thankful for Cole and would highly recommend him for anyone who may need a dog/home sitter he’s a genuine person who truly loves and cares about our furry kids 🐶💖 I don’t know how to thank him enough for his kindness and love for our girl while we were gone.🙏🏻”


“Morgan did a wonderful job staying in our home with our 2 Bichon's for a 3 day and 3 night stay. We have a high energy (not always easy!) puppy and a much older dog who has poor eyesight and also needs to be "protected" from the puppy. It's not an easy job. Morgan was so warm, loving, positive, and on top of everything! She clearly takes her role as a professional seriously and she confidently followed all of our notes and gave our dogs lots of love and attention. She is extremely responsive to all communications and answered all questions we had, gave us updates any time, and was honest about how our dogs were doing (like when they weren't eating well she told us). That gave us a lot of peace of mind. The dogs clearly adored her and we came home to our house in perfect shape and healthy happy pups. We will definitely be using Morgan again!”


“Lola It was amazing, while we were passing through Sarasota, we left my little Maltese with her for 3 days to enjoy the beach, she went to our hotel and stayed with him there, she is punctual and responsible, we do not speak English, but it was easy to communicate with her, we will miss you Lola, we will be back soon! On the last day my friend was going to arrive at the beach with her baby dog, and she also took care of him along with my baby! She is amazing!”


“It’s very hard for me to leave my pets and leaving for four nights was causing me a bit of stress. Choosing Nevaeh changed everything for me. She is very kind and compassionate and took excellent care of my senior dogs. I could see they fell in love with her during my absence. She sent very much appreciated photos and updates and texted me if she had any questions. She was very responsible with my fur babies and my home. I absolutely could not be more impressed with her and will use her services for all my dog/house sitting needs. She is the best and I appreciate her so much!”


“Liv is an Amazing petsitter!!! She absolutely loves animals, has rescue dogs, and has volunteered at Humane Society. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter. We will continue to ask her to petsit as long as possible until we go to Texas for the winter. Only wish we could take her with us!!!”


About: I have cats of my own as well as experience from taking care of family members dogs as well as friends animals. We see them as family not just a "pet". I'm available weekends and weekdays. I can do it for long hours and depending on the days and how in advance that I'm informed, possibly overnight as well. Dogs and cats are my babies I love them so much, I'm have a huge heart for my own and spoil them as much as I can. I treat anyone else's the same!

About: Hi! My name is Cloe, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. I grew up in a home filled with all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds—and learned early on how to connect with and care for animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it was feeding, playing, grooming, or just offering comfort, being around animals has always felt natural and fulfilling to me. Now, I bring that same love and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like family—because I know how important they are to yours. I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I currently have an open, flexible schedule and am available any day of the week for pet care visits, walks, or overnight stays. One thing to note: I’m a proud mom to an 8-month-old, and they would be coming along with me for daytime pet visits. My baby is calm, used to being around animals, and always safely secured in a carrier or stroller during visits. I’m mindful about which pets are comfortable around children and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. If your pets are laid-back, kid-friendly, or just love having company, we’ll be a great match! If you're unsure how your pets might respond, I'm happy to chat and do a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone feels good about the setup. This will not be a provided service, my cats are not animal friendly and do not adjust well to new pet friends! I am sorry!

About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 7 years and recently raised a puppy from 8 weeks old, so I understand all the different stages of care, from training to senior needs. I also worked as a vet tech for a year, which gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and medical needs. Whether it’s giving meds, handling energetic pups, or comforting nervous dogs, I’ve done it all with patience and love. I have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m home often and able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or long walks, I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to meet your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore safely. Inside, I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where your pup can relax and feel at home. With years of experience I know how to calmly and responsibly handle situations—you can trust your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! I’m Cheyenne, a lifelong animal lover with experience working at a doggy daycare and a background in 4H, where I cared for and trained farm animals. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds and currently have a sweet cavapoo named Rudy. I’d love to give your pets the same care, love, and attention I give my own! I am teacher for sweet 2 year olds, so my availability starts at 5 on the weekdays and anytime in the weekends, but I can do my best to adjust to your schedule! I am very accommodating and am able to implement your pets daily schedule! I have plenty of experience in administering medications and specific food diets. I am a very active person. I already spend my evenings going on runs or walks, I would love to bring your pup along!

“Sweet Ashley! She did a great job with our babies! We are home and they are exhausted and happy!!! It was so nice to go away and not have to worry! Thank you :)”


“Sarah was warm and engaging with JoJo. He was clearly glad to see her on her second visit. He was content and happy when we returned. We feel very comfortable leaving JoJo in Sarah's care.”


“Kaci was awesome! We had to book last minute and she was more than accommodating to helping out however she could. Very reliable, responsive, and so great with the pups. We will definitely be requesting her again!”


“Meghan was the best!!! She stayed with my 9 year old German Shephard that hates to be left alone and gets anxious easily. Meghan took excellent care of him and addressed all of his needs and beyond. My dog was very content and happy when we returned from our trip. Meghan was extremely responsible and respectful of our instructions for our dog and home. Will definitely use her again.”


About: I have taken care of dogs and I love being able to be a part of a dog’s life. I have lived on a farm in Oklahoma, been around law enforcement K9s in Mississippi, and am enjoying Florida with my Jack Russell, Alfred Cosmo. Your pet will receive individual attention and routine stability when I am sitting. I can follow your instructions and remain observant of your pet’s needs. Pets will be a priority in my routine. I am training everyday before I head off for College Baseball in Kansas. I strive to be the best person I can be everyday. I will tend to dogs based on their needs. Potty breaks and feeding will be important, along with consistent attention. I will include all resources given for the time being to be the best I can be towards your Pets.

“Kelly exceeded expectations to say the least. We have two big dogs that are fairly young, one that is full of energy. We went away for a weekend and it was our first time using rover. We’d tried the kennel and it was not a good experience for us at all. We needed an overnight sitter that would love our dogs like our own. Kelly took that into consideration and made us feel extra secure while we were gone, sending tons of pictures and updates and being extremely reliable. We feel so relieved knowing she’s there the next time we need her!”


About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years now, and love every second of it! I have taken care of everything from Great Danes to Jack Russles, puppies and senior dogs with medications. I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re my own! I have a small salon in West Bradenton and my schedule varies. Some days your pet will only be left alone for an hour or two and other days it will be a typical workday 6-7 hours alone. I like to set up a pre-meeting to meet the animal and go over how you expect them to be taken care of; how their food is made, crated or not, leash while outside or not, and if they get walks. All of that will be talked about in the initial meeting. I also send pictures throughout the day/night. I am here to make you’re time away as stress free as possible.

About: Our furry friends aren’t just pets, they are family! I I grew up with dogs and have always loved watching our family and friends’ furry animals when they were away. I know every pet is different and has different needs and I am ready to take anything on. The days will be tailored to your pet and if your pet loves to have fun, we will have lots of fun! If they prefer to lounge around, we will take the day easy. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I am available all throughout the day to care for your pet! Your pet comes first for us, and they will not be left alone for more than 1-2 hrs if a grocery store run or errand is needed. Besides that though, we are always ready to have fun with our pup and can’t wait to have your furry friend join in on the fun! My husband and I have a 3 year old male English Mastiff named Tank! We have a small side yard for quick potty breaks, but we also have a lovely neighborhood to walk around in that has causeway access at the end that is pet friendly and a park just down the road that we frequent daily.
