“Evelyn was great! She was able to accommodate our pups on short notice and did a fantastic job. I appreciated the regular updates/photos and questions she had. Highly recommend!”



“Nicole is wonderful! I needed to find a new sitter for my cat after his longtime sitter moved away, and was so relieved to find Nicole. She’s kind, responsible, & thorough on her visits. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”


“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”


“Maggie was absolutely amazing with our animals! She went above and beyond by sending us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets adore her and always get so excited when she comes to the house! She’s caring, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Maggie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and passionate to care for their pets!”


“Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.”


About: I started caring for dogs when I was 12 years old, where I learned to bathe, feed, and train Golden Retrievers. I continued to implement what I learned with those loving dogs, with my own dog who is now 11 years old and is named Oliver! I treat every dog like my own - with love and care. I am a flexible young woman with time before and after my 9-5! I am dependable, caring and responsible. I love to help care for animals and enjoy helping others in my free time. I care for pets in my clients home by being respectful of the space and leaving food and leashes right where I found them and belong. Being respectful and caring of my client’s pet and space is very important to me.

“Erika helped us out very last minute over the holidays and was great to work with. She kept us updated at each visit and took great care of our two dogs. She was professional and communicated effectively with any questions she had. We would definitely have Erika watch our dogs again!”


“Our cat Albert was in great hands with Caroline! She kept us in the loop (and laughing) with her thorough and colorful accounts and photos of her time with him. Albert is shy but bonded with her immediately. If Albert could give this review I’d guess he’d give five paws up without question. She is lovely and kind and I’d trust her to care for any furry (or scaled or feathered!) creature of mine.”


“Christine was awesome and we can't say enough good things about her. We received daily pictures and updates during our time away and she was extremely helpful with our older, 17-year-old, cat, as well as with our two 9-month-old kittens. Christine was very responsive to our texts, and we will continue to book her as our caretaker when we are away.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats before. But my favorite experience was when I took care of a pregnant cat and got to see her kittens grow up. I’m a Sarasota native and a full time student at the State College of Florida. Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals- dogs, cats, horses, tortoises, and more- I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of pets. I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each animal’s needs, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I will care for your pets by walking them at their own pace and making sure they have plenty of water during the walk. I will also make sure that your pets follow the rules you have for your house during visits and make sure they are having fun.

“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”


About: Animals run my world to say the least. Starting young and bringing everything home as a child. Snakes, turtles, ferrets, stay dogs. Everything became part of the family. As I got older the passion grew even further. Expanding to wolves, tigers, lions and more. Now also having a pack of 4 pups at home and a very spoiled kitty. Along with a few reptiles. Currently working part time having plenty of time to help take care of yours companions. I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work around you and your pets needs. Crating available if need for transport. Also along with chew proof leashes originally build for wolves with steal cables for even the most talented escape artist your pet is safe.

“I booked Brooke to check on my cat when I was away for a week and was very satisfied! She was quick to respond to any messages and sent daily updates with pictures. I will definitely book her again!”



About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.

“Tiffany is a fantastic caretaker. We have had her take care of our cat multiple times now and she is always reliable and communicative. Our cat can be a bit slow to come out of her shell and Tiffany sends us helpful updates when we're away. Thank you!!!”


About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized love, attention, and care. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets needing extra patience or meds. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I’m available after 6pm on weekdays and fully open on weekends for walks, drop-ins, cuddles, and quality time. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or meds. I give them lots of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. I always respect your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!
