“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: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

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. I see them individually, I understand we are all different and they are no exception :) I welcome you to call and get a feel for me, it'll become apparent quickly why I may be a perfect fit to love up your sweet furry friend :) I form my day around what your dog's needs are. I make sure your furry friend has first class attention and quality loving care. I'm here for you! Please reach out and introduce yourself :) I'd love to meet you and your furry friend(s)! I have a fully fenced back yard that has a perfect mixture of shade trees and a sun bathing patch. You can feel comfortable and confident your fur babies are in great hands.

About: My passion for caring for animals began in childhood while growing up on a farm. From a young age, I helped clean stalls, collect fresh chicken eggs each morning, and care for a variety of animals. I was always the kid begging my parents for more pets, and animals quickly became my greatest source of comfort through a tough childhood. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working on a horse farm, where I learned the value of consistency, safety, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve fostered bottle-baby kittens, assisted my mom in breeding golden retrievers, and helped raise her litters many times. My love for animals has no boundaries — I’ve worked with everything from farm animals to dogs, cats, and even jumping spiders, which I currently breed. I have two dogs of my own — Meme, who is 6, and Pia, who is 3 — and they are my whole heart. They have a daily routine I take seriously: outside time at 6:00 a.m., treats before I head to work, a midday potty break, and an evening 30-minute walk at 5:30 p.m. On weekends, we enjoy adventures at the park or exploring new places. I understand how important structure and routine are for pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of pet care — from weekend stays to week-long vacations — both in my home and in others’. Whether it’s an active pup needing exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle attention, or a young animal that needs extra patience, I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to giving each pet the love, safety, and care they deserve. My pups have an entire routine each day. In the morning they go outside at 6:00 am. I do have a fenced in back yard, so I leave my sliding glass door open so they may come in and out. The get treats in the morning before I go to work. I do return home for lunch to let them out to potty. I return home around 5:30 each day and we go for a 30 minute walk. They get their bedtime treat and we start again the next day. On weekends I do like to take them to the park or on adventures. My pups would love some friends, and sleep overs. I know how important my dogs routine and/or schedules are and I would take your pup’s routine just as seriously. The amount of care I offer for pets on a regular basis always fluctuates. I have had pups for a week long vacation, and I have also had just weekend stays. Various weekends I do stay at others homes and care for their pets. I’m very flexible.

About: I've owned and trained big dogs my whole life, but it's been a few years since the loss of my best friend Eva (pitbull mix). For now, I take pride in being Aunt Rachel to my friend’s animals, and soon yours too! With me, your furry family member will get plenty of love, exercise, and care. I work remotely, and live in downtown Sarasota, so your pet will get plenty of steps in as we explore the town! I wake up early every morning to go for a walk, am flexible for midday walks, and in the evening, I usually go down to the bay where your pet and I can enjoy the sunset. I keep my place neat and tidy, but that won’t stop me from inviting your pet on the couch or bed because animals deserve to be comfy too! I wake up early every morning to go on a walk and I come home and work from there. I'm flexible to do midday walks, and I usually catch sunset at the bay where I can bring your pet.. I keep a clean place, but that doesn't stop me from patting the couch or my bed for your pet to lay because animals deserve to be comfy too!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

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: As long as I can remember I’ve been caring for dogs of all types. I have lots experience working with breeds that range from 10 - 200 lbs. Though I love all dogs, I have a special place in my heart for giant breeds as I grew up with Great Danes. Due to years of caring for high maintenance breeds, I feel very comfortable sorting and administering any medications your pet may require. I have worked with a variety of dog trainers, and as such I have experience in obedience training for dogs of all ages. I looks forward to caring for your pet soon! I currently work remotely so I can provide pet care on your schedule! From early morning walks to afternoon drop-in, whatever works best for you and your furry friend Every pet has their own individual needs and as such I am happy to exercise them wherever they feel most comfortable. Whether that entails taking your fur baby on a trip to the park or sticking to more familiar area!

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!
