“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'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.

“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.”

About: I've taken care of my childhood dog until her passing as well as many dogs, small-medium, and cats for the past few years. I just moved to this area and walking around different towns has become a big hobby of mine! I work in downtown Sarasota and I’m able to run out here and there for drop ins, I usually spend my lunch break taking a walk through town and I’m free on weekends! I’m big on phone-less walks except for pictures, with all the wildlife around and the heat in Florida I really like to be focused on my pet and check on their behavior and what catches their eye during walks

“Victoria did a wonderful job. We called her last minute for an overnight get away NYE. We did a meet and greet and Bailee took to her immediately. He is a service dog to me and we were skeptical knowing this would be the first time leaving him. She sent us pictures, was very personable and affectionate to Bailee. I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs. I know if we ever need someone, she will be the first one we call. Thank you again Victoria for treating Bailee like your own!!”

“Usually I travel with my German Shepard and Doxie but this past Christmas break I knew I wanted to travel without them but I was skeptical about leaving them with anyone else. I reached out to many people on Rover but after meeting Danielle I felt comfortable making the decision to having her stay at our home to house sit and watch both dogs. Needless to say, she did not disappoint. I received many updates and pics that let me actually enjoy my vacation instead of worrying or feeling guilty. I would highly recommend Danielle!”

About: Hi! I’m Kim, a certified dog trainer and experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, including feeding routines, medication administration, and managing multiple pets at once. I have hands on experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rodents, and horses, so I’m confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs. As a pet owner myself with three dogs and a cat, I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. You can count on clear communication, dependability, and lots of love and attention for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book! Pet care is my full time job, so my daily and weekly routine is fully centered around the pets I care for. This allows me to provide consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and reliable care for every client. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, and any special care needs like medications or senior support. Since this is my primary focus, I’m able to give pets the time, structure, and attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy schedule. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last minute needs, I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and fully present for both you and your pet. I like to keep pets on a consistent routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. In my home, my dogs start their day around 6 a.m. with a potty break and a walk, followed by breakfast and another quick trip outside. In the afternoon and evening, they go out again, have dinner, and get either a walk or playtime in the yard. When caring for pets in your home, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care they need, so they stay happy and stress-free. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular photo and video updates and stay responsive to messages. Since pet care is my full time job, I have flexible availability and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease, and that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Our daughter moved in her 5th year of college with Atticus. By the time she was ready to move out he wouldn't leave. That started our adoption process for Piper so he would have a companion. Then came Luck-E Layla and finally Stella. We both flew for the airlines and transition into real estate. Working from home it was easy and therapeutic to have the pups by outsiders in our offices. Moving to a dog friendly town like Sarasota was a blessing in disguise. Dogs know and you will to when we meet your pup how much we love our pups and yours to I'm semi retired and work from my home. Our flexible lifestyle creates an easy situation for clients. We are here to make your pet feel comfortable when you are away. We have a fenced back yard but are located near multiple dog parks. In the client's home we will go over instructions for the pet twice not to leave any thing to guess.

Sabrina is fantastic! She is professional and responsive and my fur babies (2 cats) absolutely loved her! I highly recommend! One of my cats has a medical condition so of course I was worried about leaving him with anyone, but he was so well taken care of by Sabrina. Couldn't have asked for anyone better.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Laura to care for Ralphie and Rue while we were away. Leaving our dogs with someone is never something we take lightly, but from the moment we met Laura, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Laura was wonderful about keeping Ralphie and Rue on their normal routine, making sure they got the attention, care, and companionship they were accustomed to. She took the time to understand their individual personalities and needs, and it was obvious that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. Knowing they were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away gave us such peace of mind. Laura also took exceptional care of our home. She was thoughtful, respectful, and conscientious about everything, and we came home to find our house in perfect condition. It was such a wonderful feeling to walk through the door and know that everything had been cared for so well. Most importantly, we came home to two happy, content dogs — and that really says it all! We are so grateful to Laura for taking such wonderful care of Ralphie and Rue and for giving us the peace of mind to truly enjoy our time away. Laura is warm, responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with Ralphie and Rue again, and we are already looking forward to the next time we can have her care for them. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone they can trust wholeheartedly with their pets and their home!

Nichole did a wonderful job taking care of and keeping Gabrielle company while we were away for 2 weeks. She sent frequent updates with pictures and short videos which was great. We had a great first impression of Nichole during the meet and great and did not worry while we were away. Nichole also took great care of the house and had even washed towels and a blanket. We hope that Nichole will be available the next time we need help!

I had Kyle watch my three cats and puppy while I was away on vacation. He did an amazing job and managed all the animals well. He kept me updated with photos and made sure my puppy got outside and active while i was gone. When I came back home everything was clean and the animals were happy. I would recommend Kyle to house sit and pet sit!

Cassie cared for our dog Cooper at our home while we attended our son’s wedding. She kept in constant communication and sent many photos. We were so happy to see Cooper relax and even cuddle with her. Knowing she stayed with him put us completely at ease. We highly recommend Cassie and will definitely contact her again for future travel.

The moment Mary walked into the yard both of my dogs sat at her feet in total comfort ( they can be picky). She is a total delight to get to know and to work with and to take care of your fur babies. She’s very responsible, communicative, conscientious. I will ask her to pet sit again and again. I highly recommend Mary as a dependable pet sitter.

There isn’t enough room to express how amazing Nicole is! She went above and beyond to make sure this dog mama felt secure with leaving her animals! Pictures every day along with amazing communication. She even left holiday cards with pictures of our babies. Nicole is the only person I want to watch my “kids” from here out. My only concern is my animals might start to love her more than my husband and I.
