“Channing is amazing! She comes daily to walk our dog and I know I can always rely on her. She communicates effectively and sends me pictures every day. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to another family.”


“Tara has been excellent with my timid rescue Chow Chow. She figured out how to charm her and more importantly to get her to trust that she could go for walks and enjoy herself. Tara has been very helpful to get her the exercise that she needs. More than that you can tell that she cares about our dog. Tara keeps me informed on every detail about Rosie’s walk and her visit.”

About: I have dachshunds at home. Sheldon is 13 and Sophie is 3. My animals are my babies. I am reliable, organized, honest and communicate daily when watching your pet. I can accommodate most last minute bookings and can follow special requests/needs for your kids. I am looking to build a good, long lasting relationship with my clients to care for your pets consistently throughout the years. I have pet experience with medical conditions such as IVDD, diabetes, cushings, asthma, etc. I am familiar with all of the poisonous plants, foods, toxins in your home and dangerous wildlife in our area. I take the safety of your baby seriously, just as if they were my own. I've been watching friends, family & neighbor's fur kids since I was in high school. work from home as a social media manager, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I rarely am ever out of town (away from my kids)- so more than likely I can look after your kids! 🐾🐶🐱 I like to treat animals as if they were my own. How would I want a sitter to be with my baby? Kind, patient, fun, and always safe. I don't mind texting check-in photos or a short summary of my visit. I am easy to communicate with and will be happy to keep a routine and do my best to follow instructions for your kids.
About: Hi, I’m Klaudia! I know how quickly pet-sitting costs can add up, especially when you have more than one pet! While my standard rates are comparable to others in the area, I keep my additional-pet rates lower so families with multiple animals don’t have to pay a huge amount just to make sure everyone is cared for. More pets just means more love to go around! :) I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with four dogs, both big and small, so I’m very comfortable around all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a real love for both dogs and cats, and honestly, animals just bring me so much joy. I also worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart for about a year, which gave me great experience caring for fish, reptiles, and small animals. I’m confident handling a wide variety of pets, whether they have paws, fins, or scales! I do have pets of my own, so while I can’t offer multiple consecutive overnight stays in your home, I’m happy to do an occasional one-night stay when it fits your needs. I’m also fully open to boarding your pets in my home if you’d prefer someone who can be around them more consistently or if they simply feel more comfortable having company while you’re away. I’m happy to work with you to find whatever option makes the most sense for you and keeps your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for! 🐾 I typically work 6–7 hour shifts about five days a week, but outside of work, I’m pretty much a homebody! I don’t go out, so when I’m not working, I’m usually at home and able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. If you give me enough advance notice, I can also request time off or adjust my schedule to accommodate your pets and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, feedings, potty breaks, and care while you’re away. :) For boarding, I have a three-bedroom home with a large, fully fenced backyard surrounded by a white privacy fence, so there’s plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and secure. I also have enough space inside my home to keep visiting pets separate from my own while they settle in and to do slow, proper introductions when appropriate. If you’d prefer that your pet stay completely separate from my animals for their entire stay, I’m more than happy to accommodate that as well. For house sitting, I follow whatever routine you prefer for your pets and home. I’ll care for your animals as if they were my own and do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also always make sure to leave your home clean and tidy before I go! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾
About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. Love them, they’re like my kids and brought me a lot of joy over the years. I currently have 2 labs and 2 cats all of which are rescues. My pets are all well cared for and get lots of love and very happy. I have experience giving medications. Im a trustworthy, compassionate person who will give your pet the love and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.
About: After years of caring for pets, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs. I grew up in a household of cats and dogs. (Can’t forget about the fish too!) I take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable and understood. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups!! I am available for dog-walks and drop-ins. I am flexible and reliable. I always like to make sure I familiarize myself with your dogs surroundings and his/her home. I make sure to carry basic milk bone treats with me, as this usually helps calm situations. You can expect clear communication, updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Joyce was great when we needed someone to walk our pup while we went to Busch Gardens for my son’s birthday. She sent me pictures and texts to update me on how Bella was doing. We’ll definitely use her again!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I've cared for many over the years. I currently have two Pitbull mixes of my own, so I'm very comfortable with larger breeds as well. I'm also Fear Free Certified and work at a veterinary clinic, where I continue to gain experience handling and caring for dogs, personalities, and medical backgrounds. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I am currently unemployed so I am available week days and have availability on the weekends if needed! I am flexible to discuss certain times that are needed for you and your furry friends! I’m happy to house sit, take your pup on long walks, and provide all their essential care plus plenty of extra love and attention!
About: hey! 🐾 My name is Hannah and I’m 26 years old. I am an animal lover with a background in psychology and animal behavior. I currently work as a Registered Behavioral Technician for kiddos with behavioral needs in Sarasota County Schools and often volunteer as a dog walker at Suncoast Humane Society! I love getting to know every dog’s unique personality, whether they’re playful puppies, energetic adults, shy pups who need a little extra patience, or sweet seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and enjoy providing walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart thanks to my soul dog, Sparkie, who passed away in 2024 at 16 years old. ❤️ Caring for him through his senior years gave me personal experience supporting dogs with arthritis, chronic pain, and mobility limitations. I’m happy to provide that same patience and thoughtful care to any dog who needs a little extra attention! I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with love, respect their routine, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pup is in caring, attentive hands! **Availability 🗓️** I’m fully available on weekends and available for weekday walks Monday–Friday after 4 PM. Have a special request or need a different time? Feel free to message me! I’m happy to discuss exceptions and find a time that works for you and your pup. 🐶❤️ I am entirely free on Saturday and Sunday. M-F I am available after 4 pm. This is subject to change, please message with requests. From personal experience, I can empathize that leaving our furry friends can be an intimidating experience. However, I will do everything in my power to give your pet the same love, attention, and care that you would. I will actively communicate with you and ensure that my quality of care is nothing short of exceptional.
About: Hi there! I am very good with all kinds of pets; big ones, little ones, old ones you name it! I have been told by everyone who knows me that I just light up when I'm around animals. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and have the sweetest maltipoo of my own. I will love to care for your babies as if they were mine. Please understand I would like to check on mine as well. Thank you! Your dogs (or cats) will be in the best hands with me I can promise that! I will update with photos any time you would like I know it’s hard to be away from our pets. I’ve volunteered at many animal shelters as well and can promise your pets will be as happy as ever with me. Look forward to meeting you and them soon :) I am a full time server as well as a student so my schedule varies and can be long hours of being away from the home. I will care for your pets as if they were mine. I like to get to know their routine so we can keep it as close to normal as possible while you’re gone so that it goes smoothly while you’re away. I can update you with plenty of photos or videos if that is more comforting for you as well.

“We just completed our first week of daily walks and play time. Jes has been absolutely terrific. She has been working with my complicated schedule with breeze, shows up as planned (even with my last minute time changess), sends pics, and the dogs absolutely love her! We will be continuing our daily walks with Jes as she has been trustworthy and reliable - along with being extremely easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Jes for walks or just daily doggie love time - giving cuddles and scratches while playing ball and tug.”

About: What sets me apart is the deep-rooted experience and love I have for animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 9 years old, from walking neighborhood pups to helping with family pets. I’ve also fostered dogs, which taught me how to care for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs—from playful puppies to more reserved or nervous dogs. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or extra patience and comfort, I provide care that’s attentive, loving, and tailored to them. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently working a full time internship, 9-5 pm during the weekdays. I'm available after 5pm for evening care/walks, and have more availability on the weekends! In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. I stick closely to their normal routines—mealtimes, walk schedules, playtime, and any special care instructions—so they feel secure even when their humans are away. Whether it's keeping things tidy, giving lots of affection, or making sure they get plenty of exercise, I’m all about giving personalized care that matches each pet’s needs. Communication is important to me too, so I always keep owners updated with messages and photos!
About: Hello animal enthusiasts! My name is Katie and I have worked with animals in a multitude of settings. Jane Goodall (Primatologist) was always an idol of mine. As I grew up in a household loving my dogs, cats, and birds I envisioned working in Africa with chimpanzees. While my vision didn't manifest exactly the way I had fathomed, I still ended up working with baboons in Africa (2017). Along the way, I was an outdoor educator for several years working with all sorts of reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and invertebrates. I have been attracted to all types of animals since the day I was born. As a science teacher (8 years), I kept corals and saved many animals in the outdoor environment near our school (from squirrels to birds and much more). My husband and I have just moved from Chicago, IL to Florida. We have a love for adventure and curiosity for the great outdoors. We are happily married with our Cockatiel (Sunny) and Umbrella Cockatoo (Jack). I can't wait to meet you and love your pets for eternity! Along with my elementary education degree, I studied zoology. So, with that being stated, I'm here in Florida ready to meet new people, love your pets, teach, adventure, and learn all about Florida ecology! Let's connect! I'm currently reinventing my life/schedule after just recently moving from Chicago, IL this year and leaving my middle school science teaching position. I plan on working for a nature center and substitute teaching while I continue improving my writing career. As of right now, I have an open schedule until the end of August. I will be changing my availability in September. Currently, we do not have a fenced in yard for your pet but I can surely take him/her out with their leash in our vast open space! If your dog loves the hose, we have access to this as well. Who doesn't love a nice spray during the hot summer? Your pet will have 24 hour access to this yard, cozy home, and the couch or bed! We live about 5 minutes from the Audubon Pennington Park where we love to take nature walks. I'm sure your dog wouldn't mind a nature walk too! We truly do enjoy hosting neighborhood pets as one of our very own family members. Your pet will receive unconditional love, constant cuddles, outdoor time, and food/water the way you prefer it! At night time, they can choose from our warm bed or their very own cozy dog bed. Your pet is top priority and we want to provide the best experience for them so that they are happy to come back and play! With that being said, I would love to work with you to provide whatever it is you and your pet need. Thanks and can't wait to touch base!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Port
Norah has been an absolute gem as our dog walker. From day one, she has taken spectacular care of our dogs, treating them with so much love and attention as if they were her own. She consistently went above and beyond, she even surprised them with new toys, which meant so much to us and clearly made our boys so happy. One of the things we appreciated most was how reliable she was. We could always count on Norah to be on time or she would communicate with us if she needed to make adjustments to the times of their walks, which gave us such peace of mind. And the biggest sign of her dedication? Coming home to two very tired (and very happy) pups every time. Proof that she truly spent quality time walking, playing, and engaging with them. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Norah enough. She’s simply the best for your dog care needs!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
