Dog Sitting in Lakewood Ranch

“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 grew up in an animal loving home- I’ve had dogs, cats, a bird & a rabbit. I’ve also cared for my family & friends dogs & cats of all ages- energetic puppies to older dogs and who need a gentler approach. I will treat your pet like my own. I’m patient, reliable I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to step away from my computer during the day for walks and check-ins. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m also available in the evenings to make sure pets get the care and attention they need! When I’m in a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love—so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I will also be sure to send updates and photos so you know how the check in is going :)

“Gracie was absolutely amazing! She watched our two cats for a week and she kept us updated every day and sent the sweetest pictures! I could tell our kitties loved her. We will definitely be using Gracie in the future and I’m happy our cats will have a familiar face when we are away.”

About: I have grown up being a pet sitter as well as have one of my own! I am a very avid dog lover and would love to take care of your animals. I work from home full-time so I have a very flexible schedule during the week and loads of free time on weekends to play and walk your pet. I am very cautious and aware of surroundings especially when taking care of pets outdoors as well as in my clients homes. Whatever your pets needs are, I am confident I can care for them!

“Daniella was very sweet and kind. She sent us pictures of our cat and spent some time playing with her. We will trust her again with our fur baby. Thank you!”

About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.

“Yet again, Jill was fantastic! Great with the kitties and excellent with communications and photos. Appreciate her and highly recommend! She’s so good we already have her rebooked for a long trip later this year!”

About: I am very attentive in my care giving. There is nothing more important than a safe, loving, and fun environment for your fur baby! I will be your dogs new best friend! My love for animals began when I was small child. Animals are amazing and bring so much joy to our lives... I want to give some of that joy back! I am looking for a fulfilling career doing what I love most, caring for animals and helping those in need. I am very active and believe in daily regular exercise for myself... so walking your dog will be a breeze - (and an additional calorie burning workout for me as well!!) You and your dog will love the attention and care I have to offer!! I work full time and live close by to my home, so potty breaks won’t be missed. I am available most weekends and holidays. I am open to special requests, should you need an extra day or two. I will ensure a safe place for your fur baby while staying at my home by providing a neat, clean space and lots of attention and love!

I have been pet sitting since I was 14 and will treat your fur baby with all the love possible. I have 2 dogs of my own, a 3 year old Australian Sheppard and a 7 month old mini Aussie who are constantly craving more activities.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 5! I grew up with a variety of pets; dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and fish! I have always loved the responsibility that comes with owning an animal! I have experience with puppies, administering medications, and senior care. I have a very sweet yellow lab that loves to make new friends! I have a pretty flexible schedule, especially during the summer! Although I do work during the school year, I have help from my family members that live nearby. Message me for questions on specific days and times :) If caring for your pet in your home, I will follow all rules you give me on pet care/crating to ensure your pet is safe. When walking dogs, I will ensure they are on the leash at all times and only walk in safe areas free from cars.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life. I recently lost my last fur baby and am not ready to replace her. I work full time, and need encouragement to get outside and exercise without the pleading eyes of my own dog. I will happily walk your dog and make sure they are safe, well and happy. I work full time, but am available for early morning, evening and weekend walks and care. I am available early morning (before 7.00) and evenings (after 6), and weekends. I am also available on most major holidays for walking or visiting. I am a responsible person. I will make sure your animals are safe, happy and not alone. I will leave your home neat and secure.

About: I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, a shelter foster volunteer, and a proud cat mom to a very opinionated Siamese named Mimi. I've fostered four puppies with medical needs, so I'm comfortable with extra care, medication routines, and lots of patience. Whether your pet is a zoomie-powered puppy, a senior looking for a comfy nap spot, or a cat who demands attention on their own terms, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Plenty of cuddles, playtime, photo updates, and treats (if approved by their humans!) included. I graduated from Vanderbilt for my master degree in May 2025, I work fully remote for a PE company so I will be at home all the time. My partner & I moved to Sarasota because of his job changes. We have a cute cat named Mimi. We are a new happy family. Me and my partner live in a large 2b2b apartment, along with our cat Mimi. We have a large dog park in the community with good privacy and safety. We live very close to water and trails. I’d also love to make sure they have enough exercise and water & food.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have also fostered while in college, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I think what sets me apart is that I’m very reliable and organized — I take routines seriously and understand that pets need consistency. I’m also very active, so if your dog loves long walks and staying busy, I’m a great fit. At the same time, I’m patient and calm with more anxious or slower-paced dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, which means your dog will receive consistent attention, regular walks, and proper feeding on time. I understand how important routine and structure are for pets, and I take that seriously. Safety is really important to me. I’m very mindful about secure leashing, keeping doors closed, and supervising at all times. My home is clean and safe, and I make sure dogs are comfortable and never left unattended in risky situations. I want you to feel completely confident leaving your dog with me.

About: I’ve been dogwalking and housesitting since 2017 but I’ve had my own dogs my entire life (I’m 31 years old). I care for my own senior dog and have experience with dogs of all ages. I work from home as a therapist so my schedule is pretty flexible. If it’s a full day of sitting I can see my clients from your home and take care of your dog at the same time! Making sure everything is safe, gates are closed, doors are locked, water bowls are filled, and I’ll even straighten up the house while I’m there!

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!

About: I have taken care of pets personally since I was 10 years old. I currently have a cat that I personally medicate daily. My experience watching pets spans from house sitting large dogs to cats. I can walk, feed, and medicate both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at both cat and dog shelters throughout my life. I have extensive experience with animals. I make it a point to care for pets as if there owners never left making them feel comfortable and cared for. I do work full time outside of rover which requires me to be gone for working hours. On weekdays I am away no more than 8 hours and on weekends I try to be gone less than 4 hour increments. I dog sit because I love animals. Please contact me if you are okay with these restrictions. Currently I am working during the week but have availability over the weekends and Thursdays! I am flexible depending on how far the location is from my home and job! It is important to keep pets environment clean and safe, so I always make it a point to keep things tidy. I ensure that the home will look exactly like the owner has left it and that their pet is well cared for. In the event of accidents, I have no problem cleaning up the mess and bathing the animal if necessary. Please just leave instructions on how you would like the cleaning and bathing handled!

“Thank you Gabby Your are a true professional and will definitely book you again. Have a blessed day!”
