Cat Sitting Desoto Lakes

“Paula did a most excellent job taking care of the kitties. I will definitely use her again. She was more reliable than the family I had over during the weekend”

“Katherine was incredibly sweet and compassionate with my lil dude (cat) who recently lost his bonded mate so he was a little all over the place for their visits, and I just so appreciate her - perfect blend of kindness and expertise. I had to leave unexpectedly and book her last minute for a few days and she really went the extra mile for us, I knew he was in good hands at her first drop-in. Thanks Katherine! 🤍🙌”

About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls—and I’ve been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel loved and safe, and I pride myself on being dependable, even on short notice. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I’ve got the skills and commitment to keep your pets happy and healthy. My goal is for you to have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of no matter where you are. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences. I’m very respectful of the home, and I always ensure everything is clean and secure before I leave. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment, offering plenty of space for relaxation, play, and comfort. I ensure they have access to all their essentials and, most importantly, lots of love and attention!

About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I want you to have that peace of mind! Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for some playtime, or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I also know that every pet has their own little personality, quirks, and routines, so I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that means extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them their space, I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them happiest! I truly love being around animals and would be so excited to get to know yours. I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own two boys! 🐾💕 With a flexible schedule, I bring the best of both worlds as your dog walker and cat sitter. Working remotely and locally allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day, ensuring your furry friends receive the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday dog walk or a cozy cat cuddle session, my schedule adapts to yours. I prioritize reliability and availability, providing peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable hands at a time that suits you. Here to help with what aligns best with your schedule, making life easier for both you and your beloved companions! Every day is an adventure with Eli. Working remotely allows me to be present for my him, taking him for walks around our neighborhood, providing not just exercise but also a chance to explore the world together then cuddling up for a nap. With my previous dog, Tanner, he would enjoy two hours of playtime in our fenced yard, filled with games and activities that cater to his energetic spirit. Once a week, we would take a special trip to a nearby kayak launch. This scenic spot, within walking distance from our house, became a favorite for him. Here, he learned to swim, and we revel in the joy of playing together on warm summer days.

“First time with Stormy, and definitely not the last! She was wonderful and very patient with my cat during the 10 days. She kept me updated with feedback and pictures and was always very responsive. Thank you so much, Stormy!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been caring for them since I was a kid. I’ve lived with and worked with all kinds of breeds, from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Toy Poodles and Chihuahuas. I’ve also worked with dogs that were fearful or difficult to manage and, with patience, consistency, and training, helped them become more comfortable and confident. I have plenty of experience with puppies, including helping with potty training, and I’m comfortable with cats as well. I’m used to handling everyday grooming and basic care and know when something is best left to the vet. I’m pretty calm in stressful situations and don’t get easily overwhelmed. Most importantly, I believe animals respond best to patience, consistency, love, and respect. I’m comfortable setting boundaries and maintaining house rules, but I don’t believe in harsh physical correction. My goal is always to build trust and create a good relationship with every animal in my care. To me, there’s no such thing as a bad dog just an animal that may need more patience, understanding, and the right guidance. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding as my schedule is flexible and rotating. I’m available Mon-Sunday 6am-2pm and select evenings. Feel free to reach out about evening care my availability changes week to week. I currently live in an apartment located close to downtown. Even though I lack large space and a fenced in yard I am a stones throw away from a large park and put it to good use. I have one very friendly dog who is full of love and a very curious cat. I am able to crate your animal if the need arises. With my dog we are very active and go on 3-5 walks a day. She loves adventures and car rides so we go out and about a lot! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind driving to fit your needs. Currently I have so many dog / cat toys we could fund a small shelter. We have plenty of supplies to keep your fur babies happy and entertained. I have done work in many industries which required me to be adept at problem solving, reliable and trustworthy. High stress environments don’t bother me. We love the little ones and have fostered in the past, we just hate having to give them back!

About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.

About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working and enjoy a somewhat flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet. I am an empty nester ,I have been in Florida for almost 4 years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.

“Gracie was absolutely amazing! She watched our two cats for a week and she kept us updated every day and sent the sweetest pictures! I could tell our kitties loved her. We will definitely be using Gracie in the future and I’m happy our cats will have a familiar face when we are away.”

Kiana S.

“Sara was fantastic. She house sat and looked after our two cats for a week while we were away and we could not have been happier with the service she provided. She kept us updated every day with how things were going and left the house tidy as if nobody was ever there. We could not recommend her more.”

Clayton W.

“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

“Dennis took wonderful care of our 3 kittos ❤️🐾🐾🐾 I loved getting such cute pictures of them while we were away, and it was evident upon meeting him in person and while away that he is very much a cat whisperer, giving Jackson Galaxy the OG “Cat Daddy” a run for his money. Dennis took good care of our home, and his communication left us feeling very much at peace while in the mountains for a week. Having no signal where we were at made me a little nervous, so every time I checked my phone when within cell signal and seeing the latest update with images, I felt more and more secure that all was quite well at home. Dennis is especially adept at caring for kitties with special needs, so seeing my very old girl so loved on was extra special. Thank you, Dennis! We will definitely be reaching out for all our kitty needs. ❤️”

“Elisa was very good with Hopi and kept him for 3 days without any other pets. He seemed very well cared for and met his needs. He was comfortable enough to sleep with them!”
