House Sitting in Longboat Key

“Meghan was so great watching our dogs!! She sent us several photos and was so communicative. She really gave us peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be rebooking her in the future!”

“Delia was wonderful with my dog, Haze, during her house sitting. Haze can be nervous around new people, but opened up to Delia instantly. Delia sent me tons of pictures throughout her stay, and is super patient, kind, and understanding with animals. I trust her whole heartedly!!”

“Sky was nothing short of spectacular! Our 12 year old dog immediately adored her and our two seven year old cats fell in love with her instantly. We are so thankful for her attentiveness, admiration for animals and awesome attitude. We’ve already scheduled another sleepover for her and our little zoo. Sky is the best!”

About: I bring trust, compassion, and a whole lot of snuggles to every visit. Whether it's a tail-wagging walk or a cozy cuddle session, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own. I’m available for pet sitting at any time on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On all other days of the week, I’m happy to help after 5pm. I offer attentive, in-home pet care where each furry guest is treated like family. My home provides a safe, cozy, and relaxed environment designed for comfort and play. With a securely fenced backyard, pets have plenty of room to romp, sniff, and soak up sunshine, all while staying protected. Whether it’s snuggle time inside or tail-wagging adventures outdoors, I create a nurturing space where pets feel loved, calm, and right at home.

About: I’m a professional dog trainer and the founder of Eternal K9, specializing in calm, relationship-based training. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including anxious, reactive, or strong-willed dogs. My approach focuses on clarity, structure, and helping dogs feel safe and understood. I bring trainer-level awareness to every dog in my care—watching body language, setting healthy boundaries, and creating an environment where dogs can relax. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who benefit from routine and stability. I keep my client load small so each dog receives consistent, individualized attention. Dogs are never rushed or overstimulated. Everything is done with intention and calm leadership. Owners choose me when they want someone who can support their dog emotionally as well as physically, not just provide basic care. I work with dogs full-time, so pet care is woven into my daily routine. I maintain a structured schedule that includes regular walks, rest periods, feeding times, and training moments as needed. Because this is my primary work, your dog isn’t squeezed in between other obligations—they get steady, present attention throughout the day. My home environment is calm, clean, and intentionally structured. I use crates as safe resting spaces and to maintain routine. Dogs are supervised during all activities, and I do not introduce dogs to each other unless it is safe and appropriate. Walks are structured and done with secure equipment. I pay close attention to body language, stress levels, and environmental triggers to keep every dog safe. For in-home visits, I follow your dog’s routine and maintain your house rules with consistency and care. Your dog’s emotional wellbeing is equally important to me as their physical safety.

“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”

“Lindsey was super! Puppies were happy and well cared for while we were gone and we got regular updates even over a busy Thanksgiving week. Lindsey is an excellent communicator, asking questions about things along the way both prior to and during the pet sitting sessions. She took nice care of the house, and was just wonderful to work with. THANK YOU LINDSEY!”

“Helena was excellent with our two animals, Harley and Rocky. She took pictures of them and gave us updates while we were away. Harley is an anxious dog but warmed up to Helena very quickly. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.”

“Erin was amazing, it’s so hard to trust your fur babies with someone but she went above and beyond with communication and photos. We will most certainly be booking with her again.”

Ashley R.

“Ava was terrific! She was efficient, very responsive and flexible. She kept in touch and sent a number of pictures. I had no worries at all that things were under control. I highly recommend her and play to use her again.”

About: I am veterinary technician and a life long animal lover. Comfortable with medication and older animals. Taking care of pets since I was a kiddo. My schedule is very flexible and I am available for most jobs. The career I have is sales and I am able to set my own appointments/hours. I have a fenced in yard and am able to crate if needed. We do not currently have any dogs in our home, one cat who is friendly.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior cats who just want a cozy lap. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or special attention for medications and routines, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.🐶🐱 I currently work full time Monday-Friday but also flexible to leave work during the day! I am also available after 4pm and weekends if needed! I provide loving care for your pets right in their own home, so they can stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m happy to handle feeding, playtime, walks, administering medication , and anything else your pets need, all while respecting your home and routine. Whether it’s a quick check-in or an extended stay, I’ll make sure your furry friends feel safe, happy, and loved.

About: We always had 2 dogs, my responsibility.As an adult I have had rescues and purebreds. I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and a dog makes it a learning experience. Fully retired. Snowbirds here through April 1. Have come to Sarasota last 13 years. Took the leap to be here Oct through April. We have a new puppy a Westie named Wallace who loves it here. I would provide walking services only since we are in an apartment downtown. Would prefer to work downtown area. There are so many parks and great locations to walk.

About: I’ve had all types of dogs since I was a kid. My first dog was a Bichon Frize. My second dog was a rescue the turned out to be a Catahoula (who was such a good girl and was very protective of my kids). My third dog was a GSD. She was also a rescue and she had a litter of pups and I helped her with her labor. I raised 2 of them. I made sure that ALL of my dogs were not just walked and cared for, but socialized them with other dogs and made sure they got enough exercise daily. I have a part time job M-W 3-8:30 and Fri 3– 8:30. I’m off Thursday and the weekends. I’m available for sitting over weekends whether at your home for the whole weekend or just letting them out and feeding them. I’m flexible if need more time with advance notice. I would need to care for your fur babies at your home because I don’t have the space to care for them at my home. I do take care of my brother’s dogs on occasion. When they’re gone for the day or when they leave on vacation. I have taken in my neighbor’s dog for a week in the past while they were on vacation (when I lived in a place where it was convenient).

“Our dog is scared of many things and we were not sure how she would respond to a new person watching her for a week. Ashley did a wonderful job! She sent us many pictures throughout the week and kept us updated on everything. We highly recommend Ashley!”

About: Growing up, my family owned and operated a small zoo and deer rescue. We built an animal shelter for our community. Additionally, I had many different kinds of animals growing up, like bunnies, hamsters, fish and birds. I also went to Marine Biology camp at the Mote Aquarium from elementary to high school during the summer months. Safe to say, loving & taking care of animals is in my blood. I guarantee that I will treat your pet(s) as my own. My schedule is currently very flexible. I work from home M-F, which means I can work from anywhere with my laptop. I am currently accepting overnight visits, drop-ins, and dog walking services on Longboat Key only. I will follow any instructions given to ensure your pet(s) is/are in great hands. Additionally, I will give your pet(s) as much love and care as I give mine. I value reliability, loyalty, confidentiality, and I will treat your home with respect. I absolutely love animals and will always make sure they are happy, well fed, given water, played with, etc.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. While I’m not with mine, I would be taking care of friends and neighbors pets. I have been pet sitting since I was 13. My parents are both veterinarians, so a love for pets definitely runs in our family. I just moved to Bradenton after spending a couple years in St. Pete. I’m excited to meet some new furry friends here! I recently graduated university and currently have pretty open availability! I’m able to give really as much attention as needed to any pets I get to take care of. I am very conscious of the pet owner’s and the individual pet’s needs. I understand ever pet is different, and can pet sit in a way the works best for them.

About: I've been pet sitting privately for over seven years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire last year. You can read a few testimonials on my site and I'd be happy to share more of my glowing reviews or put you in touch with one of my regulars! 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. I have done BEST energy healing with several animals this year, curing digestive issues and easing separation anxiety as well as other emotional and physical issues. I specialize with past trauma! I signed up here with Rover a few years ago but due to a tech glitch, my profile was inactive. It is live now and I can't wait to take excellent care of your pets and home! I only do live-in work at this time because it is better for the animals. I'm a writer, life coach and energy healer and I mostly do that remotely, so I provide lots of time and companionship as well as love. 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 anything isn't right with them.

“Recently traveled out of state, and had to scramble to find a sitter for my dog and cat. Having never used a service like Rover I rightfully skeptical. I am so happy I connected with Devynn, from the first moment I met her I felt at ease about the decision, and I could tell my dog Peggy, cat Stella felt the same. Devynn kept me posted with photos the whole time and was super communicative, it was very apparent she looked after them like they were her own! Thank you again Devynn 😊”

“Thank you for everything, Kennadi!”
