About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was 10. I’ve owned and trained three dogs of my own and regularly helped family members by house sitting and caring for their pets. I have extensive experience with walks, drop-ins, and in-home care, including feeding routines, exercise, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and cleanup. I’m especially comfortable providing extra patience and attention for senior dogs. I also have plenty of cat care experience, including feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and lots of affection. I treat every pet like family and prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets happy and relaxed in their own homes. *Bonus* I have a lot of experience with “reactive” dogs! My own puppy dog is reactive and we’ve had to navigate alot of that but we always persevere! With that said I love ALL dogs and can work with anything that gets thrown at me! I have a very flexible schedule , working from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m an early riser, so no time is too early for me! . I pride myself on being reliable, responsive, and consistent with every booking. I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in their own home. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, maintain a clean and calm environment, and give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during walks or visits. I make sure all food, medication, and routines are followed exactly as directed, and I treat the home with respect—keeping it tidy and secure while you’re away. I also stay alert for any changes in behavior or health and communicate promptly with the owner if needed. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“Wonderful walker who was chill around my energetic Golden and was able to manage his excitement. Carolina took great pics of Captain and really captured who he is on his walks, happy with a stick and running joyful. That let me know he enjoyed his time with Carolina and was comfortable with her — we will be rebooking!”

“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”

“First I have to say that Amanda was punctual and professional upon arrival, she even asked me about Ezra’s water intake during walks, and rest stops. Ezra greeted Amanda without any hesitation, and when they came back Ezra was so happy and tired ( exactly what we were looking for). Amanda has a great approach to dogs, within minutes of interacting with my dog, you can tell she is an expert, that’s been around dogs and cats her entire life. We can’t wait to use her services more often and so glad that we found a reliable professional in our area!”

About: I truly believe every pet deserves patience, love, and full attention—especially when their humans are away. What sets me apart is the care I put into making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved at all times. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s extra cuddles, longer walks, or fun playtime, I make sure they’re getting not just the basics, but real companionship. I’m calm, reliable, and never in a rush—I give pets the time and energy they deserve. Your pet won’t just be looked after—they’ll be genuinely cared for. I work part-time and remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets the attention they need—whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. My lifestyle allows me to stick to their routines and provide consistent, reliable care without rushing. Pets aren’t just a side task in my day—they’re a priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have two sweet and friendly cats who love the company of other animals and are happy to play or simply share their space. I provide a calm, cozy environment where your pet can feel safe and loved. If you prefer care in your own home, I’m happy to come to you and follow your pet’s usual routine. I’ll make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of attention—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed while you’re away.

“Perfect companion for Biggie! She was on-time, reliable, and friendly. Will definitely use again!”

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.

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 have had a dog my entire life and I have dog sat for many families either for daily care or long term care (i.e. vacation purposes). I am very thoughtful in how I care for your fur babies and would love to work with you! I just moved to the sarasota area for nursing school and I am walking dogs with all of my free time. I am available most days/times, so don’t hesitate to reach out or shoot me a schedule! I currently have no pets of my own as I just moved from out of state into an apartment here. I am willing take care of your animals in their own space or take them for a walk in your neighborhood!

About: I currently have two dogs of my own and always had a dog a part of my life. I’ve taken care of friends, family, and workmates fur-babies for years. I have experience in administering pills and ointment for the pets that need a little extra love. I will meet your pet and instantly fall in love (I promise I won’t take them home) - I will take care of them as if they were my own! Pet care takes priority in my life! I do it daily with my own two dogs. Pets are our family members therefore they’re not just something that I fit into my routine.. they are my whole life. I care for pets as if they were my own. My pets are so very loved and yours will be too! I love to spoil pets and spend as much time as I can with them whether that’s taking them on walks or playing with them.

“How lucky we are that we found Alina. Our Cockapoo, Honey, does not prefer to walk with a stranger when she cannot still view our house. Adina was firm and lifted her up for a little way and then put her down onto the pavement and with encouragement got Honey to finish the walk. In the past, Honey was scared to go to the dog park and if she went there she growled at other dogs. Adina has gotten her to feel secure and enjoy going there. This is a huge change and is expanding our dog’s activities.”

I am in currently college right now and working at Starbucks. I’m trying to find a side job that I love that can still help me with my college finances. I love taking care of pets at their houses just because I want the animal to be comfortable in its safe environment rather than taking them to my house. I play with my dogs for hours, I love going out for walks and at time run with them. I recently taught my chihuahua how to fist bump, which made my day because he’s 5 years old, lol. I obviously feed my animals and give lots of pets! :)

“Sam went out of her way to care for my babies while I was in town working!! It was cold. It rained. It did not deter her from being a great caregiver for my dogs! She is reliable and follows instructions with perfection. My doggies loved her! I look forward to booking Samantha again on my next work trip to town!! Thanks Sam!!”
