“Kathrine is literally an angel right here on earth! She went so far above and beyond for our dogs. The care and attention to detail she set forth for our dogs was incredible. She is absolutely trustworthy and kind. She clearly loves animals and is overall just a very caring person. We will most definitely be using her services again!!”

About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I am patient, responsible, and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their families are away. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits during the week and on weekends. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care your pet may need. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away. I am attentive to their behavior and needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: With over three decades of pet‑care experience while working in corporate positions, I bring a calm, steady presence to your home. I’ve raised and cared for both dogs and cats — including my Yorkie and British Shorthair — and I understand the unique needs of different ages, personalities, and routines. I’m very observant and proactive, especially with senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I communicate clearly throughout the day, sharing updates so you always feel informed and reassured. Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Some housekeeping…I hold dates for 4 hours. Please complete the booking and payment through Rover within that time so I can confirm your reservation. If you need more time, just let me know — otherwise the request will expire and the dates will be released. Currently, working part-time. So, I have plenty of time to fit into your routine. I am able to work between mornings and evenings each day of the week. Mid-day depends on the weekday schedule. I would like to drop-in daily vs. stay over or have your pet at my home. Living in an open concept home that is not big enough for many pets. Currently, the cat tolerates the Yorkie dog, so I like to keep the peace at home.

“Taylor did very well with Teddy. He is a little skittish, but she was able to get him to trust her. I will use Taylor again when I have the opportunity to go out to dinner or to a ball game. She was very attentive to the dog and played with him to make him feel more comfortable.”

About: I've always had a dog or some kind of pet, I have 3 cats right now and had a dog from a puppy to 18 (R.I.P) I've trained and administered medication. I love spending time with animals. It's what makes me happy. I have a flexible work schedule so I can make anything work as far as when you need care for your “children”. If it were to be a house sitting and pet sitting job I would do that as well. I can board or bring them to my place for the day or for a walk if necessary, there are sidewalks and a park near by. I have 3 cats who have grown up around dogs so they wouldn't be a problem if this was the case. I do prefer to do the pet sitting at the owners home. Please read my reviews and testimonials. I look forward to meeting with you!

In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life!

About: Hi! My name is Alexia, and I’m a lifelong animal lover currently based in Sarasota, Fl. I’ve grown up around a variety of pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own — a pitbull and a rescue — so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, neighbors, and through volunteering at animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious pets, and administering medication when needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m very energetic, patient, organized, and reliable. As an athlete, I’m an active person who genuinely loves walking, running, and spending time outdoors, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs who need exercise and attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship and care during drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I always make communication a priority. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and treat them like family! I’m working a part time job, attending classes, and playing sports. With that being said I am available on weekends and throughout the week, times will vary. I have a huge backyard with a pool and I only have one dog. She’s an American Bulldog and I have had her for almost 10 years now. I take her on walks all the time and try to do as many activities. She loves spending her days outside lounging around by the pool.

About: Hi! I have been working with pets for 15 years now. I started in doggy daycare and have since worked as a vet tech and professional dog groomer. Comfortable with any medication administration. I’m happy to hang with your pet on the couch or walk/run your dog on request. My work schedule is flexible and I would be happy to work with you based on your pets’ needs! Reach out, I’d love to work with you! I will treat your home as if it is my own! No request is too silly. I understand spicy cats and behavioral dogs can be nervous with someone coming into their home. I will do my best to make everyone comfortable.

“Abry was great with my Dog . Felt safe letting her take my boy. She did a great job with him and he’s not the easiest dog to walk. Big and strong and mind of own on where he wants to walk.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for six dogs and three cats, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and care needs. I am currently the owner of a 13yr old Border Collie mix. He is the joy of our family. Growing up, I regularly pet sat for family and friends, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic care while owners were away. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I can easily accommodate most feeding and exercise schedules and enjoy making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they are comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their property with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as they left it. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

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: So many Doggies sat & spoiled via Rover so far! My dog care began with my precious little long-haired Mini daschund, from 6 weeks old, through his senior years, till he was 15❤️ Being a little guy, he needed frequent walks. Being spoiled and adorable, he needed lots of attention! I learned to train dogs from Caesar Milan, and reading books since I was a kid. I grew up with Boxers in the family. I helped train and care for a pack of French bulldogs for friends. I have frequently been the overnight doggy-sitter for friends & repeat Rover clients. Young & old Labs, young & old Pitties, an energetic Bull Terrior, double dogs, medium-sized mutts, Aussie Shepard. I also got to spend 3 years with a super smart Corgi roommate, often helping take care of him.
