House Sitting in Lido Shores, Sarasota, FL

“This was our second time using Jamie and things went very well just like the first time. We have her booked again for travel in November and January. She has been easy to work and communicate with, and the pups seem like all went well when we return home. We look forward to the consistency of the same person, so as we travel more frequently than we have in the past they feel safe and secure, and not stressed by a constant change of sitters.”

“Morgan was a good communicator and a caring sitter for our elderly Havanese. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. There was a minor plumbing issue during her stay and she took care of that as well.”

“Susan took amazing care of our dog and cats while we were out of town for 2 weeks. Each day she shared photos and a story of the day's events. It was a great way to keep us connected. Our pets all seemed to become attached to Susan. Our house was equally well cared for. It looked exactly as we left it. We would without hesitation have Susan pet and house sit for us again.”

“Alex was great with my 3 dogs. We had a last minute change with the care of our dogs and he came to the rescue. Sent pictures, videos and updates each time he was at the house. He would let us know if he was going to run a few minutes late or if he needed anything. Will contact him again if we go out if town.”

Amber D.

“Erin is great with our little Daisy and she definitely left the house in tip top shape (better than it was left). We will continue to be a repeat customer. Thank you, Erin.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the genuine love and patience I bring to every animal I care for.

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”

“Our dog always has separation anxiety when we are away. She also has anxiety during thunderstorms. During these times she needs constant human contact to help her with her anxiety. We asked Cher if she was able to dedicate a lot of time to help keep our dog calm, especially during thunderstorms. Cher stepped to the plate and gave our dog the care she required. Cher did a good job minimizing our dog’s anxiety and we didn’t worry while we were away.”

About: Hello, fellow pet parents of Sarasota! I'm Karla, a seasoned animal lover and your future go-to pet sitter. Here's why I'm the right fit for you and your furry family members: Broad Animal Experience: Cats, in particular, hold a special place in my heart, but my love for animals is far from exclusive to just cats. From common to uncommon, I have years of experience in caring for a wide variety of animals. Whether you are guardians of guinea pigs, hamsters, or other unconventional pets— you name it, I have cared for it. However, do bear in mind, I'm not equipped to handle snakes. Experienced and Passionate Pet Owner: I am not just a pet sitter; I am also a devoted pet parent, sharing my home with two cherished cats, residents for nearly 11 years, and a pair of adorable guinea pigs who have been with me for a little over a year. With more than a decade of experience caring for my own pets, I have the practical knowledge and emotional understanding that make me an exceptional sitter, and I would love to offer the same love and understanding to your pets. Adaptable and Devoted: Life can get busy, but I understand that pets are not just a part of life; they are part of the family. As a full-time single mother and student, I have mastered the art of juggling responsibilities while ensuring that everyone feels loved and nurtured. Your pets' care and well-being will fit seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring that they receive the attention they deserve. In-Home Pet Care: My home is a haven for animals! The same care I give to my own pets is the care and dedication I will give to yours. Whether it is regular feeding, playtime, or just some good old-fashioned TLC, your pets will be treated as if they are part of my family. As a pet parent myself, pet care is naturally woven into the fabric of my daily routine. Mornings often start with feeding my pets, ensuring they have fresh water, and spending some quality time with them. Throughout the day, I constantly check in on them, provide playtime, or just offer companionship. I always ensure they're comfortable, safe, and well-attended. In essence, pet care is an integral part of my life. It's not just a task or a chore to be done, but a fulfilling routine that I cherish. This routine adapts depending on the specific needs of each pet, and I'm always prepared to tailor it to best suit your pet's requirements and comfort. In my home, pets are treated as part of the family, with the care and attention they need to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Each pet is unique; therefore, I provide personalized care to cater to individual needs. I ensure that they receive the proper diet, regular exercise, and enrichment activities to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. Whether it is engaging them with their favorite toy, providing gentle grooming, or simply offering a warm lap, I always strive to go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and yours. I also maintain routines as closely as possible to minimize stress from being in a new environment. Regular updates, photos, and videos will be sent to reassure you that your pet is comfortable, safe, and well-attended to. When caring for pets in a client's home, I am highly respectful of the space and aim to keep the pet's routine as consistent as possible. I ensure they have regular meals, clean water, plenty of exercise, and lots of affection. I also perform additional tasks as per the owner's instructions, such as watering plants, collecting mail, or any other specific requests. Whether I am providing services in my home or yours, my primary concern is the pet’s well-being. I am committed to providing the highest-quality care, treating your pet as if they were my own.

“Ian was a fantastic sitter! I had him stay at my house since my puppy had just gotten spayed and wasn’t used to being alone — he did a tremendous job! He was communicative, respectful and followed all the instructions closely. He was also flexible with pick up and drop off since it changed a couple of times and my pup immediately liked him ? I will definitely use him in the future and will tell all my local friends about him as well!”
