“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.”

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.

“Sonja was awesome with our cat! He is very social so I was worried about leaving him for 5 days but Sonja went above and beyond, she took such good care of him and had great communication, which put my mind at ease. 100% will be using her again in the future!”

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Making sure they get enough exercise by going on long walks, being properly fed ,and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so it depends on whenever you need me and how long you need me to stay, we can work around it! In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure they’re properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention. Their safety and health is also one of my main priorities. If I feel in any way they are in danger, I will take any necessary actions to make sure they are safe and well.

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

“Shannon was awesome taking care of our sweet boy! Very communicative and you can see her genuine love for animals. Will definitely be using her again!”

Laura K.

“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.”

Jennifer W.

“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!”

In my free time, I offer reliable, loving pet care services tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's a walk, playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I promise your pet will be in great hands. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, and I’m committed to providing the highest level of care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Let me help give your pet the attention and love they deserve! Between my classes and studies, I set aside dedicated time each day to provide personalized care, whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, playing with them, or just being present to offer companionship. I have a secure, fenced yard where your dog can safely play, run, and explore. I ensure they have plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and cozy downtime.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of every size and personality, from high-energy puppies to slow and steady seniors, so I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I have a calm, patient energy that helps dogs feel safe and comfortable, and I love building real connections with every pup I meet. Whether it’s long walks, basic training reinforcement, or gentle care for older dogs, I treat each one like they’re my own. Caring for dogs is one of my favorite parts of the day. I make time every morning and evening for walks and playtime, and I’m flexible enough to fit in drop-ins or longer walks throughout the week. Whether it’s getting outside for some fresh air or giving extra cuddles after a walk, spending time with dogs keeps my days fun and fulfilling. When I’m in a client’s home, I always treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their normal routines—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, give lots of love and attention, and keep the space tidy before I leave. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been working with animals the majority of my adult life. I started out as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society and then spent 3 years sitting on the board at the same shelter. I’ve fostered multiple dogs since 2014 and also owned my own doggy daycare and boarding facility from 2016 to 2024. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available weekdays, weekends and holidays. With my current schedule it keeps me open to having lots of time to spend with the fur babies to play and snuggle. I have a large fenced yard and tile throughout my house so it is very dog friendly. Walks are available upon request as well as crating if preferred. I’m also happy to sleep with your pets as that’s my preference.

“Abry is fantastic. She helped us out on short notice and our pups loved her. She is professional and provided our pups with love and special attention. Highly recommend her-”
