House Sitting in Longboat Key

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry family members, with extra love! I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.

“Erin took great care of our dog and cat! I received lots of updates and photos throughout the stay, and they were both happy when we got home. The house was also spotless when we arrived. We will definitely use Erin’s services again in the future!”

“McKayla was absolutely amazing while house-sitting and caring for my dog, Mable, and my cat, Kaiah. Mable is still a puppy with a ton of energy, so she can definitely be a handful, but McKayla was incredibly patient, attentive, and wonderful with her. She also took great care of Kaiah and made sure both pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. What really stood out was her communication. She sent so many photos and updates throughout my trip, which gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. She was always easy to reach, quick to respond, and kept me informed the entire time. Since she stayed in my home, I also appreciated how respectful and responsible she was. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly as I left it when I returned. Coming home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house made all the difference. I would absolutely book McKayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Cassidy was a thoughtful and prepared sitter. She provided an update about our pup every morning and was quick to change plan to adjust to our pup’s needs. She utilized the resources we had at the house to ensure our pup was getting enough stimulation outside of walks. Cassidy was thoughtful in ensuring both household and pet needs were met while we were away. We would love to have Cassidy 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!”

About: Hi! My name is Camryn and I'm 24 years old. I'm a responsible, calm, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and creating a peaceful home environment. I recently graduated and am coming back for summer break after playing professional volleyball in Europe. I’m disciplined, reliable, and used to maintaining routines — which I know is especially important when it comes to pets feeling safe and comfortable. I'm also very respectful of other people's homes. I keep spaces clean, organized, and well cared for, and I approach house sitting with the mindset that I'm looking after something important to someone else, because I know how much trust that takes. l'd love the opportunity to care for your home and pets and make sure everything runs smoothly while you're gone. I love house and pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My schedule is super flexible and I also enjoy having a routine and spending time in new places in a more local, relaxed way, it's a great fit for my personality. I care for pets by creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that matches their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific care instructions (like medication or special diets).

“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.”

About: Hi all! Thank you so much for considering me for your services or upcoming trip. I have been working with dogs and house sitting them for almost 10 years. With my job, I have some flexibility and I'm looking to take care of about some amazing dogs around our community. I promise you that your dog will be well taken care of and enjoy lots treats and fun! I currently work Monday through Friday during business hours, however, I have lots of flexibility in my work and I would love to be available to take care of your furry child. I currently live in an apartment and I clean it daily to prevent hair buildup from around the apartment. I wipe and mop daily, and I run a robot vacuum to assist with those abilities. I believe if you have a clean home that you have a clean and well organized life in my apartment is no otherwise. My promise to you is to clean your house daily and make sure that it is even better than when you left.

“Melissa was great! She took very good care of our fur baby and kept me updated. She took good care of our home. We’ll definitely ask her to watch Blossom again sometime!”

About: My name is Rachel and I am a college graduate of RU. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Marketing with a minor in Business Analytics. I am currently in the process of studying for my Florida Teaching Certification. I am a Pre-K teacher at the moment. My love for teaching young children and education is something I pride myself on. With that being said, the school year wraps up May 21st, so I am looking for summer work while I have time off from school! For the entirety of my life, I have been around dogs. My family has had two miniature pinschers and a Jack Russel. I have dog sat for families with Golden Doodles, Australian Shepards, Golden Retrievers, Daschaunds - the list goes on! I am open to staying the night to watch dogs while their owners are away, coming to walk dogs during the day or even just keeping them company when need be. I would love to learn more about how I can provide help with watching your dogs in the future. I am currently off for the summer! I will possibly be getting a part time job in addition to dog sitting, but my schedule is super open and flexible! I treat your dogs just like mine - with lots of love and respect! I always make sure to keep the dog’s schedule on track in terms of eating, using the potty, playtime, etc.

“Ashley is amazing, our dogs love her! She goes above and beyond. She sent pics and updates daily and is truly just great! Made leaving our pups behind a whole lot easier!”

About: I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁 I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same. I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.

About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.
