House Sitting in Fruitville

“I can not say enough great things about Libah. She made my trip so much better because I had no worries about leaving her with my boy Journey. She provided daily pictures and messages. Some days there were multiple communications. She was absoluty great. I would without a doubt, would without hesitation use her again. Trust me if you are looking for a sitter, she is the one you should go to!!”

Amber K.

“This was our second time using Jamie and things went very well just like the first time. We have her booked again for travel in November and January. She has been easy to work and communicate with, and the pups seem like all went well when we return home. We look forward to the consistency of the same person, so as we travel more frequently than we have in the past they feel safe and secure, and not stressed by a constant change of sitters.”

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”

Michelle W.

“Our fur babies loved Kylie and so did we. We can’t wait to have her back.”

“Amber was fantastic! She spent a whole weekend with my little Oliver. She taught him new tricks, gave him new toys and most importantly loved on our pup for three days! I am so thankful I found her. She was a perfect fit for us!!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and recently started watching pets for my friends & neighbors. I enjoy being with animals and making sure they are happy and pampered. I'm retired and I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets any time you need. Days, nights, weekends, holidays and overnight stays welcome. Whatever your pet needs to stay healthy and active I can accommodate. Walking, playing, scooping, feeding, watering, and dosing meds plus a daily update with photo.

“Erin watched our two dogs for over a week. She did a great job with communicating daily and sending cute pics and videos. Highly recommend Erin! We already have her booked for next trip.”

“First time Rover user but Sam was on-time even after we asked her to come extra early, left the house clean and our dog Mowgli seems to be very happy.”

Bill C.

“Charlotte took great care of our three dogs for the past two weeks and gave us such peace of mind while we were out of the country. She communicates well and is conscientious and professional. I definitely recommend her and we will be requesting her again when we go out of town in a few weeks.”

Lauma R.

“Nicole is an exceptional dog sitter—she engages with your pet, sends daily photos and upon returning home, you cannot tell she was in the home. The next time we leave, Nicole will be the first person we contact.”

Linda O.

“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”

Cathryn D.

“Laura is amazing! Highly recommend her!! Stella loved being with her and Luara went beyond any expectations that I could have for a caretaker. Thank you!”

About: I am deeply passionate about animals and fully committed to their well being. My care goes beyond just looking after them it's about giving them love, patience, and a sense of belonging. Each pet is unique and deserves special attention, which is why I dedicate myself to creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they truly feel at home. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry companion with the same affection and care as you would, I am the perfect choice. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I make sure it fits perfectly with my other commitments. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to offer constant and personalized attention to the pets, whether in the afternoon or evening. I organize myself efficiently to ensure I always have time to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. For me, caring for animals is a priority, so I adapt my agenda to make sure their needs are met without any issues. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure that they are in a safe and comfortable environment. I adapt to each home's routines and spaces, respecting the owners' rules and preferences. The safety of the pets is my top priority, so I always make sure they are supervised and safe, without access to dangerous or restricted areas. Additionally, I commit to maintaining a calm and relaxing atmosphere, attending to their emotional and physical needs. I strive to build trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring that the animals feel comfortable and well cared for in their own home.

“Alex was very professional and communicated well. My dog seemed thoroughly worn out from all the play time and attention she received. I would highly recommend her.”

“Kathy housesat for us for a week. She was wonderful with our two little dogs. She took good care of them, brushing them and sending us many fotos. They obviously liked her as we saw upon our return. The house was also immaculate and all the plants in good condition. We highly recommend her to anyone wishing pet care in your own home.”

About: I've had my fair share of childhood pets since I was born, from cats and dogs to reptiles and birds. Every pet I've ever met holds a special place in my heart, and I'm hoping your fur-baby will be next! I'm currently working part-time, so I have more than enough time to look after your pets. I have four days off per week, Sunday through Wednesday. I've worked with free-roaming dogs, fenced in yards, and crate-trained dogs. Relatives of mine have left the care of their dogs and cats to me more than once. I ensure that dogs are walked at least twice a day, and fed at their regular times.

“Hannah was great. Very attentive and communicative while I was away, keeping me up to date on my pups and their time with her. And my house was even cleaner when I got home than when I left.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Since I was a teenager, I’ve provided dog-sitting services for friends and family, gaining valuable experience with everything from crate training to administering medication for pets with medical needs. I’ve cared for dogs with mobility challenges and understand the patience and compassion they require. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a senior dog needing extra support, I’m comfortable and confident in providing attentive care. As a retired teacher, I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. Being retired gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate time each day to caring for pets—whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply offering companionship. I truly enjoy building routines that help pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. For client home sitting, I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own surroundings, with a preference for homes located throughout the greater Sarasota area, including the islands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, loving environment alongside my own friendly golden retriever and two healthy, well-socialized cats, so visiting pets must be comfortable with other animals. My home features a fenced-in backyard, perfect for play and exercise, in a quiet family neighborhood in the heart of Sarasota.
