Dog Sitting in Ellenton

“Harper is a wonderful pet sitter!!! Her love for all my creatures and care of my space was evident in all her actions. She was kind, communicative and attentive. I would absolutely recommend her and book her again. Thank you for caring for my little family when we were away 💓”

About: What sets me apart is my deep commitment to animals. I’ve volunteered weekly at the Humane Society for the last three years, gaining valuable hands-on experience. I also founded and led “Pause for the Paws,” a pet care club I ran throughout all four years of high school, showing my passion and dedication go beyond just pet sitting. With me, your best friend is in great hands! Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine. While I’m currently enrolled in college summer classes three days a week, I’m flexible and available at various times to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Please reach out with any questions! I’m unable to board dogs in my home, but I provide pet care at your home, where your pet stays comfortable and stress free. I make sure to include long walks and plenty of playtime to keep them happy and engaged while you’re away!

About: My name is Amanda. I am a working mom of two and two step kids, but I work full time. I currently have two kids (14 and 12) and two step kids 50% (14 and 7) as well as one dog (medium size, named Bean and dog friendly). Other than my own pets I have experience watching family and friends pets for various reasons from boarding, to dog walking. I have experience with administering medication and insulin to those pets as well. My job is flexible. I work close to home full time with frequent opportunities for breaks, so I am available during a wide variety of times needed. While boarding I have opportunity for a number of walks a day. I have a fenced in yard. If I care for multiple dogs, I introduce them slowly, and always feed separately, to avoid any issues. There is opportunity for blended play/snuggles as well as 1:1.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as tending to any special needs. I have handled any needs in terms of medication, as well as tending to dogs with any disorders. Whether your dog is looking for someone to play with them, or simply keep them company, I always make sure to pay attention to what a dog is looking for! I am currently working a part time job and will not be available until after 11 am. After my part time job, I am doing online school, so I am very accomodating with hours! I go about caring for pets depending what they individually need. For example, I have been around pets that are on the anxious side, and I need to make sure I set up an environment where they feel safe. Another example is I have been around dogs with ADHD, and I have had to figure out how to eliminate certain distractions so that I can get their attention. It is very hot in Florida (plot twist, if you did not know), so I find it very important to make sure that they are staying hydrated and not overheating.

About: I offer dependable and loving care during drop-in visits, making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or giving meds, I tailor each visit to your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who need a gentler touch. I take my time during each visit — no rushed check-ins — and I always send detailed updates and cute photos so you can feel confident your pup is in good hands I am a work from home dog and cat mom. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the visits to ensure each pet gets my full attention and care. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and committed to being there when your pet needs me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy — it never feels like a chore, and I love building bonds with each pet I care for. I work from home, so my pets get lots of attention, love, and supervision throughout the day. My home has a fenced-in backyard and a doggie door, so pups can go in and out as they please — always with safety in mind. During Florida’s hot summers, I make sure they don’t spend too much time outside, offering plenty of water, indoor cooling, and of course, treats to keep them happy and comfortable! My pets are a 4.5 year old Coonhound mix, who still has lots of puppy energy and an 8 year old Black Lab mix, who is more calm, but loves to be cuddled and petted.

“Darcy is so wonderful! She responds so quickly and always takes such great care of my dog during drop in visits. My dog is very shy around new people and warmed up to Darcy so quickly. I absolutely love seeing the photos she takes and she always writes paragraphs on what they did. Love her!”

“Adrienne has been a lifeline for me. With my schedule at work and personal life constantly changing she is always readily available to come look after my pup. She sends pictures and is always in communication with me which puts my mind at ease leaving. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!!”

About: I am a business professional with a love of caring for pets. I have taken care of a range of animals from puppies and kittens, to older cats and 100lb+ dogs. For high energy dogs in particular, I am able to run with them if needed. I have experience bathing nervous dogs, as well as keeping animals calm during nerve-racking Florida storms. I would love the opportunity to show your beloved pets the care and attention they deserve. I work 8:30-5pm Monday-Friday. With this, I am available for drop-ins before and after work or during lunch. Friday evening on, I am fully available for pet sitting and walks. Caring for each pet greatly depends, not every pet is the same and each deserves individualized treatment. In general for a young puppy, I would take them out for walks once an hour to get their energy out, and especially around feeding time to give them plenty of opportunity to go to the bathroom. For cats, head scratches and litter box cleanings are a given, but if your cat is especially friendly then cuddles and back scratches are in order. If they get the zoomies then playing with anything stringy or feathery is sure to get their energy out.

About: I grew up with a large rottweiler and have been around big dogs since I was born. I have worked in multiple dog care facilities and have years of experience with all breeds and sizes! I’m available almost everyday of the week to drop in or take your dog on long or short walks. I am also available late at night! I can recognize when your is feeling uncomfortable or anxious. I can easily reassure or calm your dog down in a quick and efficient matter.

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!

About: Every pet that walks through our doors is loved exactly like if they’re our own. As a child I grew up with animals and my parents would never stop buying or adopting new ones. At most we had 5 in the house at once. But through the years we have had many more then that. I don’t no if this is what causes my love for pets but it just feels like second nature when a dog walks through the door to care for them exactly like they were mine. Our home has Vinyl floors to make clean ups easier and was just built in 2020. We have a completely fenced in yard and plenty of toys, treats and things for them to do. I pride myself on my availability and flexibility. Dropping your pet off at my house is absolutely nothing like dropping your dog off at a Franchised pet sitting place. Your Pet does not ever have to go in a cage unless you want them or that is where they feel more comfortable. I work from home full time so play time in the backyard happens naturally when the pet wants to go outside. Not on a strict forced schedule. This allows the pups to feel more comfortable while you are taking care of whatever it is you have to do. I am happy to send pictures & video throughout your animals stay so you can see what they are up to. I am home full time to make sure your pets are loved and well cared for. Your pups are my priority and my schedule works really well with this as I just work on the computer during the day and can take breaks whenever I want or as needed. Safety is my utmost priority and every single procedure I put in place inside my home is to make sure your pet has a great stay.

About: I offer personalized, loving care for both dogs and cats, always focusing on their unique needs and routines for ultimate comfort, happiness, and absolute safety. I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I only have to be on campus 3 days a week for a few short hours. I will meticulously follow your pet's exact schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications, ensuring their familiar routine is undisturbed. Your pet receives personalized, loving care right in the comfort and security of their own home, promoting happiness and well-being.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner, experienced with pups of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I’m skilled in basic training, administering medications, and general care. My calm and patient approach ensures every pup feels safe, loved, and cared for. Let me be your dog’s second favorite human! As I work from home, I’m able to spend the entire day with your pup. Whether it’s potty breaks or play time, they will get whatever attention they need! In my home, your dog will enjoy a cozy, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’ll make sure they feel right at home with their favorite toys, treats, and a comfortable spot to relax. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll stick to their familiar routines, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, or extra belly rubs, I’ll treat your dog like family, wherever they are!

“Mikaila was very professional, and followed all instructions regarding dropping in on my two cats. It was my first time using rover, and I am pleased with the service. I would definitely recommend Mikaila for pet/house sitting for anyone.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, my parents being so impressed by how attentive and loving I was with my first dog they allowed me a second and it kept increasing from there. I now have two dogs a German shepherd and a Aussiedoodle, they love company and have never shown any signs of aggression at home or at dog parks. I’ve trained my dogs everything they know and I take pride in them being good girls. I recently stopped working to focus on training my 1 year old Aussiedoodle, therefore leaving me with more than enough time to spend with your furry member(s) of the family. I have 2 acres of unfenced land behind the house for the dogs to run around in, I will not allow your dog to roam around without leash to protect against your dog running off etc

About: I’ve grew up around dogs I have an everlasting love for them and look to learn more and more about each breed I encounter . I’m currently working a part time job at the airport so I have most time to watch your pups I’m available Saturday-Tuesday any time during the day I currently own a Siberian husky named maxx who is very playful and friendly he loves interacting with other dogs and has lots of energy to play with them
