House Sitting John Ringling

About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, and even rescued squirrels! My dad was a certified animal rescuer, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. 🐾 I’ve been professionally dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from Great Danes to small dogs, as well as puppies still potty training and senior dogs needing medications or special diets. My own pup, Mary, is an 8 lb Pomeranian! I love taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full-time in Sarasota, typically 8–9 hours a day, so I would be away during my workday Monday–Friday. I’m able to take a lunch break for a midday potty break if the home is within about 20 minutes of my workplace, and depending on the pet’s needs and the situation, I may be able to adjust my schedule when planned in advance. I’m available to stay overnight and will be with your pets before and after work, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and needs are well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, give medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I also owned a cleaning business and regularly cared for the pets of my cleaning clients. This gave me years of experience being trusted in people’s homes. I’m respectful of your space, will clean up after myself and your pets, and will leave your home neat and the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“Rabekah was fabulous. Responded quickly and professionally to all communications, very sweet with our dogs, and went above and beyond in so many ways. We have one difficult dog that she won over quickly, and was patient with any additional needs. Will definitely book again.”

“Cannot convey the level of gratitude we have for having Libah stay at our home with our 2 pups. They are definitely not the easiest so her confidence and communications allowed us to enjoy our journey with out concern. They were excited to see us but were so content when we returned. I cannot say thank you enough to the level or professionalism, honesty and trust we had. THANKS Libah!!!!”

About: I've taken care of my childhood dog until her passing as well as many dogs, small-medium, and cats for the past few years. I just moved to this area and walking around different towns has become a big hobby of mine! I work in downtown Sarasota and I’m able to run out here and there for drop ins, I usually spend my lunch break taking a walk through town and I’m free on weekends! I’m big on phone-less walks except for pictures, with all the wildlife around and the heat in Florida I really like to be focused on my pet and check on their behavior and what catches their eye during walks

“Erin was amazing, it’s so hard to trust your fur babies with someone but she went above and beyond with communication and photos. We will most certainly be booking with her again.”

Ashley R.

“Laney was great taking care of Camden. He has such a fun time and she did an amazing job with him the whole weekend. We really appreciate it.”

About: I have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos, you name it! When it comes to dogs, I am comfortable with all the different genres from big to small, puppy to elder. As a cat owner myself, I love going the extra mile to make sure cat is comfortable and happy. I would love to be able to take care of your animals, whether that’s long walks, dog park visits, administering medication, or just plain old pets. I will dedicate my time to making sure your animals are well taken care of! My current work schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins or house sittings whenever needed! I am super flexible and open to last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your dog for walks or visit a dog park! If I am visiting a cat, I’m happy to scoop litter and give pets. I have experience in delivering oral medication if your pet needs it.

“Abby is sweet, thoughtful & easy going. My babygirl loves her and was able to relax and sleep a bit. I felt confident in her which isn’t easy for me when trusting someone to watch my baby! Thank you Abby 🫶🏼”

About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.

“Debbie took great care of Moxie. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with a new sitter, but Debbie put me right at ease. Her two dogs are sweet and calm and it was great for Moxie to have companions. If your dog is nervous, she has ways to keep them separated. I appreciated the daily updates, photos, and videos and reassurance so I could relax and enjoy my business trip. I will definitely leave Moxie in Debbie's care again.”

About: Our daughter moved in her 5th year of college with Atticus. By the time she was ready to move out he wouldn't leave. That started our adoption process for Piper so he would have a companion. Then came Luck-E Layla and finally Stella. We both flew for the airlines and transition into real estate. Working from home it was easy and therapeutic to have the pups by outsiders in our offices. Moving to a dog friendly town like Sarasota was a blessing in disguise. Dogs know and you will to when we meet your pup how much we love our pups and yours to I'm semi retired and work from my home. Our flexible lifestyle creates an easy situation for clients. We are here to make your pet feel comfortable when you are away. We have a fenced back yard but are located near multiple dog parks. In the client's home we will go over instructions for the pet twice not to leave any thing to guess.

About: I provide a close watch and a good experience for your animal! I have a dog of my own and know what it takes to care for them. Volunteered at multiple humane societies and have a good feel for most dogs. Very knowledgeable. I am an active person and can take them to nearby closed parks for a run or let them relax depending on the breed. It’s up to the owner and the dog! I am available most of the day every day of the week so I am around a lot. If you choose to hire me I promise you will not be let down by the attention I can give them. It’s not easy to trust others with your dogs but it is important to me you and your animal feel as comfortable as possible. Willing to negotiate on prices always!!

“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”

“The best decision we could have made! I had never left my baby with anyone before, and I did it with Mauricio. He's incredibly good, and communication is excellent. I recommend him 200%. THANK YOU!! I'm sure we'll be back.”

“Adela was great with my 167 lb dog and 6 lb cat. She sent plenty of pictures/updates and I got the feeling that she cared for my animals exactly as I would. She is obviously an animal lover! Because my dog is so large, I knew it would take a special person to walk him. Not only did I feel like she had the animal skill level to watch over my big boy, she took very detailed interest in the particulars of his feeding schedule. I am so happy to have found her because I feel like I have a great back up should I have to travel or be away for longer during the day than I want my animals to be alone.i highly recommend Adela!”

Brandan H.

“Kailea was amazing and sweet with our girls. She made sure to occupy their time with walks and snuggles. She had great communication and asked questions when needed. You can tell she has a big heart and cares. We will be asking her to watch the girls again.”

About: Hi! I’m Kim, a certified dog trainer and experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, including feeding routines, medication administration, and managing multiple pets at once. I have hands on experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rodents, and horses, so I’m confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs. As a pet owner myself with three dogs and a cat, I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. You can count on clear communication, dependability, and lots of love and attention for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book! Pet care is my full time job, so my daily and weekly routine is fully centered around the pets I care for. This allows me to provide consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and reliable care for every client. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, and any special care needs like medications or senior support. Since this is my primary focus, I’m able to give pets the time, structure, and attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy schedule. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last minute needs, I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and fully present for both you and your pet. I like to keep pets on a consistent routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. In my home, my dogs start their day around 6 a.m. with a potty break and a walk, followed by breakfast and another quick trip outside. In the afternoon and evening, they go out again, have dinner, and get either a walk or playtime in the yard. When caring for pets in your home, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care they need, so they stay happy and stress-free. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular photo and video updates and stay responsive to messages. Since pet care is my full time job, I have flexible availability and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease, and that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a certified Veterinary Technician with hands-on clinical experience, which sets me apart from most sitters who don’t have a medical background. I can recognize early signs of illness, injury, or distress that an untrained eye might miss — and I know how to respond calmly if something comes up. Specific skills I bring: • Medication administration — comfortable with oral and topical meds, including multi-pet or complex schedules • Senior pet care — experienced with mobility issues, medication timing, and the extra patience older pets need • Puppy care — house training reinforcement, socialization, and safe exercise for growing joints • Anxious or special-needs pets — calm, patient handling for pets who need extra reassurance • Health monitoring — tracking eating, energy, and bathroom habits so you get an accurate picture, not just “they’re fine Pet care is a consistent, reliable part of my week, not something squeezed in around other plans. Monday through Thursday, I’m available after 4:30 PM through 7 AM the next morning — perfect for evening walks, overnight stays, or early morning visits before your day starts. Friday through Sunday, I’m open all day and night, so weekend trips, full-day pet sitting, and last-minute weekend bookings are easy to accommodate. This schedule means your pet gets steady, dependable care on a routine they can count on — whether it’s a weekday evening walk after work or a full weekend of overnight sitting. Overnight & House Sitting I stay in your home so your pet keeps their normal routine, environment, and comfort — no stressful car rides or unfamiliar spaces. I follow their existing feeding, walk, and medication schedule exactly as you’d do it, and I spend real time with them (not just quick check-ins) so they get companionship, not just care. I also keep an eye on the house — bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and making sure everything’s secure while you’re away. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I arrive on schedule and give your pet my full attention for the visit — fresh food and water, a walk or bathroom break, and playtime or affection depending on their energy level. For pets on medication, I handle that at the right time with the right dose. I always do a quick health/behavior check while I’m there, since my vet tech background means I notice things like changes in appetite, energy, or mobility. Every visit, regardless of service • Daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how things are going • Care that matches their routine, not a one-size-fits-all approach • Attentiveness to health and behavior, not just supervision I don’t currently offer boarding in my own home — all my services take place at your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar space.

About: Hi. My name is Heidi but go by Eady. I love all animals. I’m taking time for myself from work and would love to get back to dog walking/sitting. I spend my days taking my kids to/from school and work and the middle of my day is open. Dogs and cats are more than welcome to stay the night of course too! My son is 10 and daughter is 17. Both LOVE animals as much as I do. I live on a small, peaceful island with lots of great walking. I also drive a large SUV for additional opportunity for adventuring on hiking trails and dog-friendly beaches. I love animals and staying active.
