“Rebecca was amazing !! I’m so glad I found her and will definitely ask her to take care on my Simba again! Good communication, kindness, extremely empathetic and left my space clean and my cat well fed, clean and happy!! I recommend her very much!”


“Kathy was so helpful. She came every day to check on our kitty, sent us photos and updated us on everything. We are truly grateful that we found her. Definitely will be booking her when we go out of town again. Thank you so much, Kathy.”



“I have used Nicole about 15 times and she is amazing! My shy kitty loves her and she’s very reliable. It’s hard to trust people with your animals, but you can trust Nicole!”


“I hired Kimberly to do drop-in visits for my cat. She was timely, communicative, and pleasant all around. All of the "chores" were completed as directed. I had significantly more peace of mind during my time away knowing my cat was well-cared for. I plan to continue booking Kimberly for any future trips.”


“Having Bailey housesit for us was such a gift. Her communication was great, she helped problem solve kitty situations while we were away, and I knew our kittos were in good caring hands. We came home after being away for just over a week to a tidy home and happy kitties. I wouldn’t hesitate asking her to help us again.”


“Jennifer was absolutely incredible with my cat, Kaiah. She didn’t just “stop by” — she truly spent quality time with her, giving her affection, playtime, and the attention she craves. I could tell Kaiah felt comfortable and cared for, which means the world to me as a cat parent. Jennifer went above and beyond, sending thoughtful updates and photos so I never had to worry. Her patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals really shine through. I’m so grateful for the time she dedicated to Kaiah and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants their cat checked on.”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old, and it’s something I’ve always loved. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from 5 lb lap dogs to 100 lb big pups—and I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I’ve done everything from overnight stays to daily walks and fun trips to the park, making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. Caring for pets is second nature to me, and I always treat them like part of my own family. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. This allows me to dedicate consistent time to caring for pets, whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight stays, and ensures I can give each animal the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. In their home, I follow any routines or instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise. I make sure to give plenty of attention, playtime, and walks as needed, while keeping the environment clean and secure. When pets are in my care at my home, I provide a safe and welcoming space with supervision, toys, and lots of love, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for just like they would at home.

“Simone helped with mid day visits while we went to Japan. I never met her before our trip but was immediately confident we could trust her with our girl and full access to our home, She always sent lots of pics and she had the initiative to brush/ groom our pup while we were on a 2 week vacation. She was very timely allowing me to relax and enjoy! She always communicated any concern and immediately responded if I messaged her. Highly recommend!”


About: Hi! I'm Aya! I work fully remote and recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve cared for the dogs and cats of friends and family for years. I’m excited to explore the neighborhood while taking your fur babies on walks, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve! Since I work fully remote, pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I can take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I enjoy having the chance to get outside and explore the neighborhood with pets. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend extra time making sure they get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or medications. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, love, and attention, and I always keep the home tidy and secure. I’m also happy to send photo and text updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.

“Amazing sitter! Took wonderful care of my little princess and they immediately got along like long-lost friends. Professional, courteous, and stellar work; highly recommended.”


About: Hi! Welcome to our profile! Chloe and I live in a nice and safe neighborhood in beautiful Sarasota. Our house has a big and well maintained fenced backyard, with plenty of trees for shade, where she gets to run, sunbathe, chase lizards and squirrels. She’d love to have fur friends come over for playtime! She’s up to date with all her vaccines and flea medication, we ask that your dog is as well. Please provide as much info as you can to ensure a pleasant stay for your pup, such as their favorite (or least favorite) things to do, important commands that they obey, etc :) I will not host more than one dog at a time. For every first time friends we will have a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along, and that you’re comfortable with the setting of our home. I’ll make sure your pup is having enough fun they won’t even miss you (in a good way)! I’ll communicate daily and send pictures often! The days I have opened on my schedule are the days I am home all day and able to give full attention to the dogs and provide as many potty breaks as they like. I have a large fenced backyard and a friendly 7-year old black mouth cur that would love to share our yard with! . . .

About: I've been pet-sitting since I was 10 years old. I grew up around dogs and farm animals, and have always loved taking care of them. I'm familiar with all type of breeds and energy levels. I am a voice teacher and singer, so my schedule is very flexible. I can work around almost anything and will be able to give consistent care if needed. Each animal is unique, and I pride myself on being able to adapt easily to new routines so that your fur baby can continue their day with little to no upsets.


“Alex was absolutely incredible as a house & pet sitter. This was the first time we left our two boys alone for more than a few days and he made us feel so comfortable. Not only was he a great buddy for our outgoing cat, but he also managed to get our shy one out from under the furniture for cuddles. He was professional and friendly as well as super communicative. I would recommend Alex to anyone, but especially for those who are traveling for long periods of time.”

“This time was the first time that I had met Tallie, but I felt very comfortable with her from the very beginning. She was wonderful with my cats, showing true affection and care for them. But most of all, she went above and beyond when The hurricane threatened Sarasota and I was out of the country. She took care of my cats, and even prepared my house for the storm. She is an amazing lady and I will have her sit for my cats any time with great confidence.”

Gabrielle K.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – The Absolute Best Dog Sitter! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gabi Knitter and the way she cares for my dog, Lola. From the moment they met, Gabi treated Lola like her own—full of love, patience, and genuine affection. It’s rare to find someone who not only likes dogs, but truly understands them. Gabi gets it. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just snuggling on the couch, Gabi makes sure Lola is happy, safe, and loved every second I’m away. She communicates regularly, sends the cutest updates, and always goes above and beyond—whether it’s adjusting her schedule or picking up on Lola’s little quirks. Honestly, leaving your pet with someone can be stressful—but with Gabi, it’s complete peace of mind. She’s a total natural, incredibly responsible, and has the kindest heart. Lola adores her, and so do I. If you’re lucky enough to book Gabi to care for your dog, don’t think twice. She’s amazing.”

“Everything went great!”


aya k.
“Aya was an excellent pet sitter for my kitten while I was on vacation for 11 days. We had rescued her from being abandoned by her mom for being too small from the recycling center about 3 months ago. She is hesitant of new people, but when I returned, Aya had made friends with them, so I knew she was well cared for. I was worried about the care needed for a nervous kitten while I was away, but I highly recommend Aya for all of your pet needs.”
