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.

“Bailey came and did a meet and greet with my pups. They took to her immediately as they can tell she truly loves animals. She took notes for our coming visit and implemented her tasks wonderfully. I got picture updates on how they were doing for the day and when one of my pups had an accident in the house, she cleaned it up perfectly. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”


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.

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an apartment but we have a trail near by and a fenced in doggy park to run around in. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe.

“Erika helped us out very last minute over the holidays and was great to work with. She kept us updated at each visit and took great care of our two dogs. She was professional and communicated effectively with any questions she had. We would definitely have Erika watch our dogs again!”


“Maggie was absolutely incredible! I was so lucky to have found her. She was so patient with my pups and their anxiety with my being gone. It looked like they warmed right up to her. She communicated daily and took pictures. They had a few accidents and Maggie was so pleasant about everything. I would definitely recommend her.”


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 have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from 12 lbs to 100 lbs. Growing up with a dog and now being a pet mom myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your furry love with someone else. Let me take that worry away! I’ll treat your pet like my own, providing plenty of love, attention, and fun playtime. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or care while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pup’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! As a residential architect, I work weekdays from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM but have availability around my schedule for pet care. I’m fully available on weekends, and my holiday availability depends on whether I’m in town. I love the outdoors, so your pup will always get plenty of fresh air and long walks. Whether it’s quick check-ins, walks, or weekend stays, I’ll ensure your furry friend gets the care, love, and exercise they need while you’re away! I prioritize safety, trust, and a loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a 12-pound mini poodle mix with terrier, and I make sure he stays active, social, and happy with walks and trips to the dog park. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine, provide constant supervision, and ensure a safe, comfortable space. I treat every pet like my own, offering plenty of love, attention, and playtime while keeping them secure and well cared for. Your furry friend’s happiness and well-being always come first!


“Our pups and cat took to Alex right away. Alex was great at communicating and sending picture updates. One of our pups had an accident which he cleaned up promptly and he also give us updates of Yogi's condition throughout the time he was there. He us updated on our pond water level and reset a pet cam when it stopped working. I would highly recommend Alex!”



About: I've grown up with two dogs and constantly dog sit for friends and family and help with a dog shelter with fostering and adopting out their dogs. I have been helping adopt these dogs out to my community and have yet had a dog that was too hard for me to adopt out. I have a passion for dogs and animals and hope to someday open up my own animal shelter and day care for cats and dogs. In graduate school in the evening. Have plenty of time to hangout with your furry friends. Can make it work and hopefully make it easy for you. I have my own place but my dog doesn’t enjoy having other dogs in her space. I will have to come to your place for your furry friend.

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.

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.”

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.”
