“Emma did a fantastic job. Totally exceeded my expectations and did everything I asked beforehand. The daily updates she provided assured me that my cats were being taken care of. Not only does she ensure that there is food and water, she makes sure they got enough loving which means the world to me. 10/10”

“Abigail was so easy to trust with my bunny, Clyde!! She kept me updated as she was on her way over, sent me pictures and videos while she was with him, and sent me a full update after. I felt that Clyde was in great hands while I was gone and didn’t have to worry about him because I knew she’d take great care of him. Thank you!!!”

About: Grew up with pets my whole life, they are a part of my family. I have been petsitting for my parents for both short and extended stays for many years now. I have entertained and cared for both cats and energetic large dogs and I find it endlessly rewarding! I build my schedule around evolving pet care needs. I am very flexible and available most days as I am a self employed artist in Sarasota. I tailor my pet care services for each individual pet's needs and living situation. I am comfortable playing indoors, running around a yard or going for neighborhood walks

About: Being a pet sitter is truly a dream come true. Dog lover is an understatement! I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent my whole life around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs through walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time. I’m very active and love getting dogs out and moving, whether that’s neighborhood walks or exploring local favorites like the Celery Fields, Bayfront Park, or Red Bug Park. I’m happy to tailor walks and outings to each dog’s energy level, and for pups who enjoy extra playtime, I also have access to my family’s fully fenced backyard for supervised fun. I’ll return your dog like they just got back from vacation: happy, relaxed, and tired. 🐾🌴🦮 I’m currently available when you need me and would be happy to be flexible with your schedule! I hope to fill my schedule with your fur babies! 🥰 When caring for pets in their home or mine, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, double-check food and water, and give them lots of attention and love. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines that help your pet feel at ease.

“Alexi is great! She is a very confident and knowledgeable sitter. It is clear that she truly cares for animals. One of my three cats has developed diabetes and now needs a shot twice daily. I was having trouble finding someone willing to care for her while I am away. Alexi has experience with this and was comfortable administering Jilly’s shots. I got updates and pictures through the whole process. Jilly let Alexi take care of her with no resistance. I will be asking for Alexi’s help whenever I need to be away!”

“This has been a wonderful experience for both Mishu and I. Lisa and her daughter Aeryin could not have been more attentive to all of my cat’s needs. I was sent daily updates with pictures, which I loved. Mishu got to try new activities and even bonded with the other animals at Lisa’s house. My cat came home looking calm and happy! I’m so pleased with this experience and we would definitely love to repeat it. I recommend Lisa and Matthew as excellent and responsible pet sitters.”

About: I've always had a passion for animals. My friends and family would rely on me to walk, feed, and dog-sit their pets. I love doing it and meeting new fur babies. If needed, I can administer any oral medication. I'm good with any age/size group of dogs. Since growing up I have had big and small dogs from puppies to seniors I’m currently working part-time. I’m available Monday through Thursday anytime after 11-4pm. But, I am quite flexible if you need me for a later time, if something were to come up on your end. I can drop-in, play, and walk your pet to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Please feel free to message me on the rover app if you have any questions or concerns. I'm an active person who loves to run. I have two rescued chihuahua mixes named Loki & Thor. I love going on long walks with them. I can play with/feed/walk with your fur baby. Whatever you need, I would love to accommodate something that works best for everyone.

We always had family members take care of our cats when we went away. Was a little uneasy about having a stranger. However, Kathy took good care of our babies! She sent photos on each visit and followed directions. I would not hesitate to book her in the future.
