“Karen is a very loving and positive person. She was wonderful with my puppy. Finn is a seven month old Alaskan Malamute and very skittish. He was not exactly the right fit for the dogs in her home, but she worked very hard with him to make him as comfortable as possible. It was his first time being in a home with other dogs that he did not know. She was patient and kind and he was anxious, but very happy when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asked me.”

About: I give lots of love and attention making your furry kids feel like they are at home with the family! LOTS of play time, cuddles, walks, swimming, tug of war...whatever they like to do! :) They are part of the family so we eat, play,rest, walk and do everything together! I also provide transportation to the vet and groomer as well as pet errands. Many of my regulars have favorite chairs and toys when they come to stay. I believe it's important to make them as comfortable and loved as possible! I love it when I hear the owner say their furry one got excited when they turned into my neighborhood or driveway:) I truly love animals with all my heart. We have a Pawsome time! Pet sitting is my career and l am home every day except if l run errands or go to do a pet visit in the neighborhood. We are all together in the family room or outside on the deck during the day and sleep in my room at night. I have toys .balls and stuffed animals to play with and give treats regularly. Some sleep with me while others may like the xoych or chair

“Bill and his wife were so kind to my pup! They helped watch her twice while we were on vacation since our dog doesn't like to be alone. They are true dog lovers and went above and beyond taking care of her with treats, walks, brushing her, sending pictures and videos! They made me confident and calm knowing my pup was in great hands! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello!! My name is Leslie Capozzi. I'm excited to help you with your pet boarding needs! I owned 3 pet stores in my past life, my pet stores offered dog grooming, food, toys, medicine, fish, reptiles, but our specialty was exotic birds! I accept all dogs, non-venomous reptiles, non-venomous fish, birds, and mammals for boarding at my home. My beautiful home has a large, well-maintained, fenced yard for potty breaks and exercise. It also includes a closed-in lanai with a pool and dog doors throughout. My garden and yard have been featured in local magazines, I am a master gardener, and my yard is a certified monarch butterfly garden. Looking forward to your business! I work from home. I am available around the clock for your animals. Your pets will always be my main focus throughout their whole stay. Your animals will have constant access to a beautiful screened-in lanai area and a well-maintained, large fenced-in yard. The yard has plenty of space for potty breaks and running and playing.

About: I've been born with an innate ability to communicate with dogs. I love them, and foster my sensitivity with them intentionally. I love caring for, walking, and playing with dogs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. From my families, to my neighbors and to my friends, they have all asked me for help. I am working part time right now, and I set my own schedule. So, I can work any time, any place. Let me know what works best for you. I always try to treat the animal with the upmost respect. They are living creatures and deserve the best treatment possible. I am very friendly to them and let them build trust with me first.

About: Caring for others is what I do best! I’ve raised two incredible children and we had two sweet cats while the kids were growing up in Massachusetts. I moved to Sarasota 2 years ago and have been dearly missing having pets and family around the house. I’ve loved and cared for many friends’ dogs over the years too and would absolutely love to care for your dogs & cats! I work a very flexible schedule from home in Downtown Sarasota, so I’m always available for pickup/drop-off/walks/jogs/potty-breaks. I am an avid walker (every evening) and I always take breaks throughout the day to go outside, workout, & move around, so I’d love nothing more than a buddy to come with! I have an open layout apartment with a small balcony, and I live across the street from a lovely park. My home is very safe for pets, and I’m able to keep an eye on them at all times since the apartment is petite and I work from the center of it. I’m more than happy to accommodate any environmental requests/needs you may have, just let me know!

Harbor Acres dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anissa has a beautiful home, a very nice backyard for Floki to run around, she pays attention to small details about caring for the dogs. We had a meet and greet prior to leaving Floki for the evening. She took Floki on a few walks. I strongly recommend Anissa if you need a dog sitter. If I am back in town, I will definitely be using her again if she is available.!! Thank You :)! Andrew
