“Susan was an wonderful caretaker for my kitties! She was reliable, communicative, and sent lovely photos and updates every day. She even helped with a few smaller household needs while I was away. I would happily have her help again. Thanks Susan!”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”
About: Hi! I have over 20 years experience caring, loving, cuddling, training, exercising, feeding, watering, petting, watching, walking, playing, and grooming animals! More specifically, I have trained several dogs in agility and basic obedience. I also have had a lot of experience caring and loving many cats over those 20 years; ranging from cuddly couch potatoes to timid barn cats cats. I also have experience riding and training horses. I have worked with horses ranging from in-hand 2 year olds to showing the horse show vets. I can’t wait to make more furry friends! I currently work remotely Monday - Friday, so my schedule is very flexible! I am available all day everyday! I can work alongside a lot of schedules. I have a 3 acre fenced in field for all the running, digging, and playing their heart desires! No crating needed (unless requested). In my home, we’re all family!
“Olivia was an amazing cat sitter! She stayed in contact with me while I was gone and checked every box on the list I left her for each drop in visit she performed. Not only were my cats were well taken care of, the house was also well looked after! I can’t speak highly enough of Olivia and her attentiveness. I wish I could keep her as a full time sitter but she’s only in town for the summer. Thanks again, Olivia!”
About: Hi! I’m your pets’ next favorite human—trust me, the rats told me. I’ve cared for everything from zoomy dogs and dramatic cats to sassy hamsters, curious rats, and the mysterious underwater world of axolotls. I’m basically a zookeeper, but with better snacks and bedtime stories. Whether it’s refilling the fish tank, playing hide-and-seek with a hamster, or deciphering the side-eye from your cat—I’ve got it covered. Your home will be respected, your animals adored, and your fish… probably mildly confused by how often I talk to them. 🐾 Caring for animals is something that fits into my life naturally—like morning coffee or talking to my pets as if they’re tiny roommates with strong opinions. I truly enjoy the routine and joy they bring, whether it’s early walks, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. Animals keep me grounded, active, and smiling (even if a hamster has just escaped for the third time). I build my day around their needs because their comfort and happiness come first—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way When house sitting, I become their temporary live-in bestie. I keep things clean, cozy, and calm—like you never left. I’ll also handle things like mail, lights, and plant care, so your home feels lived in and looked after. Basically, I show up, love your pets like my own, and make sure everything stays just the way you like it.
“Grace did a wonderful job with my kitties once again. ❤️ She even gives my cat Tinkerbell her pill twice a day with a pill pocket. Bella is definitely falling in love with her. Thanks so much Grace!”
“11/10 Rebekka did a phenomenal job either my cautious kitty and keeping me awash in photos and notes. I really appreciate the care she showed with my kitty and the home. Will definitely use again”
About: My name is Maria and I love dogs! We'd be happy to give your little guy or gal a home away from home. I have an extremely fit golden retriever that I love to walk daily in our park -1 mile away; its just as easy to walk another pup too. I run my own business, which aside from visiting clients, has me working from home the majority of time. I have been dog sitting for friends/family for years and thought, why not take this up a level? My pup, Porter is extremely friendly and loves other dogs. We'd be happy to host your dog as well. I'm accustomed to working with all sorts of dog-personalities and enjoy giving them love. Text with any questions.
About: I had a shiba inu named Redbone that passed away in 2015 at the age of 12 and a husky/corgi mix that passed away at 15 in 2018. Lastly, I fostered and adopted a blind, 13 year old shiba inu, Kaya, and she passed in 2021. They meant the world to me. I am now available most of the time. I previously worked at a school. Now I take in elderly animals to give them a retirement home. I would follow all the directions provided to me by the pet parent and treat the pet with the caution and care that I would my own.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and just got a new puppy, who I’m currently training! Caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m a newer sitter on here, but I’m not new to giving caring love to my own pets and bringing that same level of care to every pet I meet, canine or feline. I’m in school getting ready to go into my junior year in 2026 at USF, so my schedule is flexible! I’m available most days. Let me know what works for you! Due to my own dogs that I need to walk and feed before heading out, I’m not available for walks or drop-ins earlier than 8:00 AM. My oldest dog takes medication nightly and I’m currently house training my puppy, so I understand its importance. I follow routines, keep pets safe, and ensure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have taken care of every kind — from tiny lap dogs to big energetic pups. I have two dogs of my own, so I totally understand how pets are part of the family and how important it is to know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets like my own. I work completely remote & part time which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and I always make sure to give regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I give my own. I follow your instructions exactly, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pets stick to their normal routine. I’ll always keep you updated and let you know right away if I notice anything out of the ordinary.
About: Hi, I’m Hannah — a lifelong lover of animals big or small, furry or feathered, shy or spirited! I have a B.S. in Zoology from Michigan State University and years of hands-on experience caring for animals in a multitude of environments. I gained experience at home with two beloved family dogs before working as a pet sitter, walker, and trainer around my neighborhood. From there, I volunteered to care for both cats and dogs at Help From My Friends Pet Crisis Center in Michigan and at Crazy Horse Rescue Ranch in California. So whether it’s feeding, cleaning, or just providing a little extra love, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, needs, and temperaments. Now in Sarasota, I’m excited to offer attentive pet care services to local families and community members. I’m here to treat your pet like one of my own be it a daily walk, check-in, or overnight care. I am currently working part-time as a barista, so I have flexible availability starting in the afternoon to check-in, feed, and exercise your pets every day. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize routine, safety, and comfort. I follow your instructions closely from feeding schedules to medications to walks or quiet time so your pet feels secure and at ease. I’m mindful of your home and always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also keep things clean and organized and love to send updates and photos so that you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.
About: I have pet sat for the past year and gained great experience! I love making new connections and helping owners feel at ease whenever they are in need of a pet sitter! I’m currently a college student that works part-time. Weekends are preferred, but I’m not opposed to weekdays if I have a lighter schedule going on! I don’t mind taking dogs out for frequent walks or bathroom breaks. I love pets and will do everything I can to make you and them feel comfortable! :)
About: Hi! 👋🏻 I’m Sierra and I have a passion for working with animals. I have one rescue dog of my own at home along with six cats, two rabbits, zebra finches, tropical fish, and a turtle-most of whom are rescues! I have experience caring for all different types of animals. I have also done many wildlife rescues and have turned my yard into a safe haven for local wildlife. I previously worked in healthcare, so safety, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. I always bring water and a pet first aid kit to every walk or sitting to make sure your pup is safe and comfortable. In my free time, I love spending time with my animals, doing arts and crafts, gardening, and exploring nature. I also help my uncle with his foster-based dog rescue by assisting with adoption events and fundraisers. My goal is to keep your pet safe and give them my full attention and care on every walk and sitting. I look forward to meeting and caring for your best friend! 🐾🦮🦴 I do pet sitting full time, so I will be able to spend plenty of time caring for your pets :) I can feed, walk, brush them, administer meds, play, etc. I will come to your home to stay and keep your pets company overnight if desired. I will play with them, brush them, feed them meals, administer medication if needed, walk them, and let them out for potty breaks. Let me know your pet’s routine and I will do my best to adhere to it! My goal is to ease your pets anxieties as well as yours while you are away.
