“Evelyn got back to me quickly and came for a meet and greet right away. My baby Cooper had a rough puppyhood and is afraid and reactive.He’s very strong and can pull me down. I am always worried that a new walker might not be able to handle him. Evelyn was confident putting my mind at ease. She is wonderful and sweet to Coop , who loved her immediately. I am so lucky to have found her. Evelyn is kind and calm and I believe she could handle any situation. Cooper and I are so happy.”


About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

About: I have personal experience caring for many different breeds of dogs and cats, and I have professional experience with dog training and cat and dog care. I currently volunteer at the Humane Society in my free time, and I love learning new ways to connect with and enrich animals. I am an early riser and always available before and after my work hours. I strive to try to be as flexible as possible with my schedule so my clients can rely on me anytime they need a sitter. I have experience in providing care for animals in their own homes, where they are usually most comfortable. I treat all homes with respect and care, always making sure to keep a clean and safe environment for animals and for clients to come home to.

About: Hello, I'm an experienced and affordable dog sitter (lover) located in South Sarasota! I walk, run, play, feed and love on your fur baby while you're away for the day! I treat your home with the same care I’d give my own, keeping everything tidy and clean during every visit. I believe good communication makes all the difference, so you can always count on quick replies and plenty of adorable photo updates. You’ll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and feel all the love, even while you’re away. 🐾💛 I also have experience giving medication and caring for elderly and special needs dogs! I have cared for my own diabetic dogs who needed daily insulin injections, and I have given pill medications orally. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog- Let's schedule a meet and greet! :) I am working part time and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pup! We will have lots of fun playing together. I have a lot of love to give and enjoy my time with dogs. However, I am not currently offering in home daycare or boarding services.

About: I moved to Florida permanently a couple of months ago, but I know the area because my parents have lived here multiple years. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. In 2015, I adopted my very own black cat, Louie, from a kill shelter in Texas, which deepened my passion for animal rescue and care. During college in Chicago, I gained hands-on experience working at animal shelters, where I learned valuable skills in handling and caring for different breeds and temperaments. I’m comfortable using gentle leaders as well as standard leashes, ensuring safe and positive walking experiences for dogs. Currently, I share my home with four cats and two dogs, and I truly love working with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and purpose every single day. I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of availability to drop-in, take a walk, or even hang out with furr friends. When taking walk or going outside, I take the safety of any dog seriously and have experience distracting dogs or leading them away from anything that may cause a problem to arise.

“I’m so thankful and grateful Danielle was available to care for my pup baby while I was out on vacation. They bonded very well and she’s very friendly, loving and caring. Danielle’s very reliable and trusted. Highly recommended wish I could add her to my favorite walker list.”


“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”


About: I truly believe every pet deserves patience, love, and full attention—especially when their humans are away. What sets me apart is the care I put into making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s extra cuddles, longer walks, or fun playtime, I make sure they’re getting not just the basics, but real companionship. I’m calm, reliable, and never in a rush—I give pets the time and energy they deserve. Your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll be genuinely cared for. I work part-time and remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. My lifestyle allows me to stick to their routines and provide consistent, reliable care without rushing. Pets aren’t just a side task in my day—they’re a priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have two sweet and friendly cats who love the company of other animals and are happy to play or simply share their space. I provide a calm, cozy environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. If you prefer care in your own home, I’m happy to come to you and follow your pet’s usual routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed while you’re away.

About: I’m passionate about giving pets the best care possible and creating a safe, loving environment tailored to each animal’s needs. I have experience with animals of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need gentle, specialized attention. I am detail-oriented, ensuring feeding schedules, medication routines, and any training methods are followed precisely. I’m also attentive to pets’ unique personalities, helping them feel secure and happy while their families are away! With 20 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’m a dedicated and reliable sitter who understands the unique needs of each pet. I offer early morning and evening visits during the week, providing consistent care that fits into my Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM work schedule. I’m also available for weekend visits or extended stays, making me a flexible choice for your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in, feeding, or spending extra time with a senior cat, I’m here to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy while you’re away. I have an apartment sized perfectly for small/medium dogs and cats to roam. I have plenty of room for a crate as well. We do have one cat who would be kept seperate from any other pets brought into the home.

I take precautions on every walk—securing leashes, avoiding unsafe areas, and keeping a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe and cared for, whether that means going slow with a shy pup or bringing a little extra energy for playful dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands!
