About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

About: Hello, I'm an experienced and affordable dog sitter (lover) located in South Sarasota! I walk, run, play, feed and love on your fur baby while you're away for the day! I treat your home with the same care I’d give my own, keeping everything tidy and clean during every visit. I believe good communication makes all the difference, so you can always count on quick replies and plenty of adorable photo updates. You’ll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and feel all the love, even while you’re away. 🐾💛 I also have experience giving medication and caring for elderly and special needs dogs! I have cared for my own diabetic dogs who needed daily insulin injections, and I have given pill medications orally. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog- Let's schedule a meet and greet! :) I am working part time and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pup! We will have lots of fun playing together. I have a lot of love to give and enjoy my time with dogs. However, I am not currently offering in home daycare or boarding services.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs over the years, including regular walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, slow stroll, or just a potty break with some affection, I’ve got them covered! I work remotely and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether your pup needs a morning walk, midday break, or evening stroll, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take precautions on every walk—securing leashes, avoiding unsafe areas, and keeping a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe and cared for, whether that means going slow with a shy pup or bringing a little extra energy for playful dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands!

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: Hello! My name is Brooke. I work full time in health care but have also been working as a part time pet sitter for Rover for over 4 years now. Outside of Rover, I have pet sat for 10+ years and have a lot of experience with pets of all breeds/sizes and pets with specific individualized care and/or medical needs. I also have two kitty fur babies of my own, Potato and Charlotte. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets while you're away or in need of extra help! =) I pride myself on caring for your fur babies the same way that I care for my own. I always provide daily updates with multiple photos (unless you prefer not to receive them) and am quick to respond if you need anything or just want to check in. I am proficient and comfortable administering medications including insulin injections, oral medications, and breathing nebulizer/inhaler treatments for pets. Please message with any pet sitting requests or questions you may have. I am currently also accepting requests for Thanksgiving and Christmas week if you are planning on traveling for the holidays and need a petsitter while away. I am a resident physician completing my medical residency currently. My schedule varies week to week based on which service I am working. Drop in visits and dog walking requests during the week days are limited to early morning and evening times only (no midday visits available). That same availability applies to any weekend days that I am working or if I am off, then I am able to provide up to 3 visits (morning, afternoon, evening). Please reach out with any scheduling requests or questions. I care for all animals the same way that I care for my own, with lots of attention and love =). I also try to keep all animals routines as consistent as I can while you are away so I aim to do feedings, walks, bathroom breaks, etc around the same schedule that they're used to when you're with them.

“Kim is awesome! she is dependable and flexible. My pups can't be a bit stubborn and she is still able to get them out for their 1/2 hour walk. She has been a life saver for me during my recovery from foot surgery. Thanks Kim!”

“Great walker!”

“So thankful for Nicole! My dogs had such a great time with her! She was incredibly professional and punctual. She communicated with me very well which gave me a lot of reassurance.”

Kayla M.

“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”

About: I’ve spent time around animals for my entire life, and have always loved giving them the love and attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and will take the time to make your pet happy and comfy! Working with animals has always been something I have found great joy doing, and I hope I can build connections with more four legged friends! I’m a student who is currently on break until the 21st, so I am available very often. Any days of the week will work fine for me! I will make sure all fences, doors, and windows are secure at all times to ensure your pets will be safe and cozy in their homes!

About: I take the time to bond with each dog, earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved and understood. I adapt my approach to each dog’s personality, energy level and needs, whether it’s a playful pup who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants gentle companionship. I’m currently working part-time as a realtor so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my clients schedules and needs as directed with notice. I live in a condo with two kittens so I will most likely be sitting at the client’s home. I will care for the pets as directed by the client, providing them photos and details of my time with their pets.

About: Hi y’all! I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs my entire life. Anything from walking neighbors dogs to staying overnight at friends to keep an eye on their puppies! My work schedule right now is completely self-owned, so I’m generally flexible on timing! I work from home, so I’m able to pop in and out pretty much at a moments notice. Currently I am not offering services to allow pets into my home, as I have 2 kitties! However, as far as entering other folks’ homes, just ensuring we’ve got our bases covered: food, water, potty access, nothing chewable out and about, etc.

About: I’ve been working with animals the majority of my adult life. I started out as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society and then spent 3 years sitting on the board at the same shelter. I’ve fostered multiple dogs since 2014 and also owned my own doggy daycare and boarding facility from 2016 to 2024. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available weekdays, weekends and holidays. With my current schedule it keeps me open to having lots of time to spend with the fur babies to play and snuggle. I have a large fenced yard and tile throughout my house so it is very dog friendly. Walks are available upon request as well as crating if preferred. I’m also happy to sleep with your pets as that’s my preference.

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.

“Amanda was absolutely awesome!! We came to Sarasota for our wedding and brought our fur baby Remy. We couldn't take him in the reception hall of our hotel and we were a bit worried about what we were going today until we found Amanda! She was great to work with and met my dad to get Remy and took him to our hotel room and gave him love while we were gone! She left the cutest little polaroid pictures of my dad and our boy and even though I didm't get to meet her my parents said she was an absolute delight and I couldn't agree more! Recommend her to anyone in the area! :)”
