About: I will care for your animals as if they are my own. I have had dogs my whole life. I have 2 dogs Benson White Pit 5 years old and Abby Chocolate Pit/Lab 5 months. They both mean the world to me. I worked at a shelter for two years as an adoption counselor. I have been in Bradenton about 7 years and I love this small town. I love to go the beach, and anything out doors. It's one of the reasons I moved here. Hope to here from you soon. Have an amazing day. I do pet care part time in the evenings and on the weekends. I love being around animals and like to provide love and care. I provide care for family's that have busy schedules. I do it in their homes not my own. I provide walking and over night stay's.
“Great job!! Thank you so much!!”
About: I have walked and boarded/pet-sit many dogs, as well as cats and other pets/livestock professionally since an early age - I offered my services throughout college (before Rover!), and have since performed walks/boarding/overnight care on and off from 2015-2019 for supplemental income. I enjoy the work; it is fun to meet new dogs and get some exercise while making a little pocket money. I take your pets safety and well-being as seriously as that of my own during the time we're together. Can provide flexibility in regards to dogs' needs and your preferences - just include notes if needed, and I am happy to work with you if possible. Happy to provide references and/or previous job/education experience upon request. As of August 2024 I am offering walking services during weekdays and evenings. I intend to be available and performing walks regularly until December of this year. If you decide to book me regularly, as well as being very flattered/honored, I will provide you with a minimum notice of 2wks if my availability changes such that I will no longer be able to walk your dog during your time slot. I can attest to the significance of pet companionship in one's life, and believe it sacred to be trusted with their care. I will treat your furry friend(s) as though they are my own during the time I am with them - of course while implementing any do's of font's you have specified in the service request.
“Thank you, Chris! Chris was professional, on time, friendly and even took the chuck-it out for my babies as requested! My dogs were definitely tired when they came back from their play/walk and we will definitely be calling him again!”
“Fantastic job again! Super attentive and vocal!”

“Yuri is a very loving and responsible pet sitter. I have a 15 year old lab who I won't leave with anyone but her! I not only know she is getting fed and walked as she would be if I were here, but I know she gets lots of smooches and pets! She is on time and organized. Wonderful! Highly recommended!”

7. Blair R.
“Blair is an amazing person with such pure and vibrant personality. She really cares about animals and knows how to be their friend and a guardian. I have an English cocker spaniel mix that's more than 10 years old that I got when I was young. Because of my young age he was never really trained and I know he is a handful and especially with the old age he can be very difficult to deal with and demanding. Blair took great care of my boy while I had to go on a business trip and I just didn't feel comfortable boarding him as I know he will only get 1-2 "walks" a day and not much attention at all. Having Blair really helped me feel safe and comfortable and she really took good care of May (that's his name) and followed the guidelines I gave her on how/when/what to feed him (he has his own diet because of his ears and skin condition) and also medications. I wouldn't hesitate letting Blair watch my dog or any kind of pets for any duration of time as I know she is very responsive, responsible, and extremely caring. If you meet her, you'll know what I mean. -David”

12. Karen G.
“We've seen a lot of people that claim they know a lot about animals, but Karen is extremely knowledgeable. All pets seem to just love her. She's very responsible, mature and caring. I would put any of my animals in her care without any reservations anytime.”
13. Dewa Gede M.
“Dewa is an incredible person and animal lover. I met him in Bali where he is from and I cannot say enough about him as a person. He watched my dogs multiple times once he moved here to the USA. He will give your dogs the greatest love and care in any way you need help. I am always nervous when leaving my pets but felt so comfortable leaving them with Dewa. Just like Balinese culture he will give your dog all the love and care in the world while you’re away or need them to be walked. Thank you Dewa my husband and I are so grateful for you help and love you give our animals !!!”
14. Capri C.

15. Wimberly B.
“My first go-to for taking care of my sweet dog is always Wimberly. Wimberly is amazing. She goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is loved, comfortable, and well-cared-for in my absence. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for animals is clear. I highly recommend Wimberly to anyone seeking a trustworthy and reliable dog walker/dog sitter.”
16. Albert C.
“My dog's favorite pet sitter is Albert, by far. Ever since I met Albert I call him first to see if he is available to watch my precious Ringo when going out of town. Ringo is a very active dog and needs loads of attention which Albert meets daily. Even my neighbor mentioned how happy Ringo seemed while I was away. Albert communicated with me about their activities and how he was eating, etc. I felt truly relieved that Ringo was in such good hands. When I get out my suitcase to pack I tell Ringo that Albert will be coming. I swear he knows by the way he pricks up his ears and seems to get excited. The next day Albert comes and greets Ringo I can concentrate on my trip and know that they both will be having a great time together.”

18. Reagan A.
“Reagan is my GO TO when I am out of town to watch my kitties. I don't trust many people with my animals, but she treats them like her own. Whatever I need she'll get it done. Definitely consider her to watch your pets as well. She has never let me down!”
