“Stephany has been coming over for walks with my senior pup for a few weeks now. A couple of the requests were short-notice and she was still able to help. She’s very responsive, gives great reports on how the visit went and always includes lots of pics. Her love for animals is so apparent! Thank you Stephany!!”

About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.

“Maggie really likes him.”

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

“Our dog, Boyden, was in great hands during our weekend trip away. We loved the frequent communication and picture updates. Will absolutely book again soon!”

“Susan was wonderfully patient with our very fearful dog. She worked to gain his trust and now he is happy to see her and go for a walk with her. Very glad we found Susan!”

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.

About: Hi, I’m Valerie! Born and raised in New York, I’m almost 30 (not the podcast 😉) and currently living between Florida and the Northeast. I work remotely in design and marketing, which gives me the flexibility to pet sit between work, cafés, and yoga. I’ve cared for pets in both Williamsburg and Sarasota — from plant sitting to dog sitting. Most recently, I looked after two amazing pups, a Rottweiler named Jono and a Scottish Terrier named Murphy. I completely fell in love with them! That experience opened my eyes to how much joy (and care) goes into looking after dogs, and it made me want to continue doing this whenever I’m visiting friends and family in the Northeast this fall (a perfect escape from hurricane season). I’m attentive, active, and love spending time outdoors — so your pup will always get plenty of walks, play, and love. I’m comfortable with medium-to-large dogs, but I do have a cat allergy, so I focus solely on dog sitting. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and flexible with scheduling — I’d be happy to help care for your furry family member! I work full-time remotely Monday–Friday as a Social Media Manager, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be with your pets throughout the day. I can step away from my desk for walks, playtime, and snuggles in between meetings, lunch breaks, and coffee runs — so your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can walk them, say hello, feed them or have a pup sleepover for a short-term and/ or long-term stay to keep them safe at home.

“Awesome! Thank you so much! Jackson loved his walk… And, we are so glad we found you Heidi! We will be using your services again for sure. You have definitely found your calling! Your business is going blow up here on Rover and anywhere else you spread your wings. Joy to you and your amazing kids!”

About: I've had dogs all my life and currently have 2 big boys. My friends, neighbors and family have always relied on me to care for their animals and love them like my own! As both of my dogs are rescues I had to put a lot of time into training them. I trained them to stop being reactive, to heel, sit, stay, and even ring our doorbell by the front door when they need to use the potty. Being that my dogs were reactive I am very accustomed to big dogs who pull and bark- so if that's your case you can rest assured they'll be safe with me. We will discuss what's best for your dog or dogs and I'll be sure to adhere to that specifically. I understand the stress of allowing others to care for your fur babies so I'll ensure to be very thorough and remain open contact with pictures and videos throughout my visit(s). I'll always leave a note for you as well so you know how it went for them! I just moved here from Bonita Springs and as we jumpstart our catering business I have plenty of extra time on my hands! I am comfortable with dog baths, car rides, administering oral medicine, long walks, I can even take your dog on a 2 mile run if their vet approves it! Growing up in my dad's home we had 5 dogs on his property at one point! I've been around dogs since I was a baby. We have had small dogs like chihuahuas, and big 100 pound rescue mutts as well. I rescued my one dog at 6 months old so I raised him from a puppy up. My second dog was sadly abused before I got him and has scars to show it. He is the sweetest angel in the world and has come so far in terms of training and coming out of his shell to be comfortable around humans again. As a child i've been attacked by dogs but my love for them never wavered- if anything it encouraged me to learn more about their behavior and how to make them comfortable. I understand now more than ever when a dog is uncomfortable, distressed, anxious, etc. I hope to hear from you soon and see how I can help make your life easier for you and your furry baby! Currently I'm only working part time so I have plenty of time to watch after your babies! I will let you know if there's a specific time or day i'm not available. I have a two story home and 2 loving dogs who can keep your babies company. I can also separate them with my gates that I have, or cage if need be. While my yard is very small for quick bathroom or zoomie use, we also do have a dog park in the community as well as plenty of long & wide walking paths. I do walks every 4 hours or less if needed for your animal. I have cameras in the front, back, and inside of my home so my eyes will always be on them even if i'm running to the store. I never leave home more than 4 hours at a time- even that will only be subject to your approval.
