“I highly recommend Catalina to watch your fur babies! If you are anything like me (a helicopter fur momma) I promise you Catalina will make you feel completely comfortable with sending lots of pictures/videos and updates on your pup throughout the day. Lily came home completely exhausted from playing all day and we all love a tired pup!! lol”
“Kym and Glen always take great care of my Blu. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. They provided regular updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind knowing my pup is happy and well-cared for while working my long hours. My dog always is so excited to spend the day with Glen and Kym. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.
“Something came up and we needed a sitter immediately and Jessica was able to fill our needs. This was Callie's first visit and when we picked her up, she seemed relaxed and happy. Jessica included 5 pictures of her stay and an update on potty and water breaks, which was very much appreciated.”
“I contacted Justin on the same day that I was in need of his doggie daycare services. Justin was wonderful with my baby Cargo. He was extremely patient with me. He met every need that Cargo needed as well as taking care of all my requests or concerns. He brought cargo to the dog park twice and sent me pictures. If and when I go back to Longboat Key, Florida I will contact Justin to take care of my Cargo again.”
“Brio had a wonderful time, she enjoyed having one-on-one attention and cuddles all day with Carol while Mum & Dad did ‘adult human’ things. We would highly recommend Carol to take care of anyones fur baby.”
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
About: I have had dogs of my own and taken care of other dogs for over 30 years. My last fur baby recently passed away at 16 years old, she was a Cockapoo. I have excellent firsthand experience taking care of senior dogs. I am retired, so you will have peace of mind knowing your pet will not be alone while they stay with me. I can provide daily walks (long or short), plenty of cuddles, and one-on-one attention - most of all, plenty of extra love. My home is sure to be a relaxing and calm environment for your pet. I am retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available both day or night. I am also available for overnight care as well. Please do not hesitate to ask, I am happy to accommodate. I no longer have any pets of my own. Your dog will be treated like it’s a part of my family! Your dog will have free roam of my home and is always welcomed on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard and I am close to a dog park too.
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and have trained a few dogs. I love animals and will spoil your pets with cuddles and homemade, healthy treats while you’re away. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’ll be home all day most days to care for your fur babies. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fenced in yard, and a sweet miniature golden doodle to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if you’d like as well.
About: I’m so excited to watch your family members for you 😊 I personally own an older cat as of now, but I am planning to get a dog in May of 2026 :) I’ve always had a special connection to animals and I have a lot of experience caring for various ages, breeds, and sizes of cats/dogs/animals. I love a home full of animals, so my additional pet rates are discounted 💗 I am also happy to feed fish, birds, water plants(plants are babies too!!), and grab your mail :) As for boarding your animals in my home (apartment with screened in balcony), this cuts a lot of driving time while I care for your fur babies, so my boarding vs house sitting rates reflect that saved time :) Lastly please note: I only work with one client’s pets at a time and do not over-cross my bookings. I find it is much more beneficial to my own schedule and the animals in my care, so rest assured that your animals will have my undivided attention while in my care:) I work a 9-4 M-F in West Bradenton, so I take care of all the animals in my care in the morning, on my lunch 12-1 (flexible day-to-day), and after work! Occasionally while I’m pet sitting I will work from home, but it really depends on my work load for that week. I will be happy to take care of your animals as you normally would in their home, however I do offer a small discount for boarding your animals in my own home, as it is more time efficient for me :) I love written instructions and lists, the more detailed the better I can keep your animals happy in your absence :)
About: I have experience with dogs,cats reptiles and birds. I have also been known to house the occasional pig,ferret and once a raccoon. But honestly probably wouldn't do a raccoon again. I am available anytime and free all day. I do go out of town and take family trips as often as we can but those are all planned out I have a front and back yard, the from is a courtyard with grass and a very playful neighbor dog if yours want to play and only at your discretion. My back yard is shell and patio. I live in a fenced church area but my yard is not fenced. But your loved one is allowed to be outside and free to run and play. I have carpet free and smoke free home but not kid free. They also love animals and will respect any rules or wishes you may have .
About: I have a special place in my heart for little dogs. I am currently a grandPAWrent to two beautiful and spunky little pups. Although they don’t live with me, I like to see them as often as possible. I will care for your furbaby as if it were my own! I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your furbaby in my home providing a quiet environment and a subdivision that has lots of sidewalks. I currently do not have a furbaby but I really enjoy being a grandPAWrent. We enjoy walks and playtime whenever possible at parks, subdivisions or wherever provides a safe environment. I will provide a quiet atmosphere and do my best to make your pup feel at home.
About: I love dogs better than people! I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages for many years. Experience with seniors needing extra care. I am at home during the week while my son is at school, so my schedule is flexible for mid day home visits and walks. I will come to your house to walk and/or play with your pups while you are at work or gone for a long day out.
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, and exotics like reptiles (I own a bearded dragon). My home has pets if yours would like to play with mine, but mine are also crate trained if yours need their own space! I work from home mostly, so your pets will be supervised while I am with them. I am available and able to do walks, potty breaks and plenty of snuggle and playtime. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to play with yours if they would like. Otherwise mine can be crated and come out on a rotation so yours can have personalized attention.
