Dog Walking Osprey

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.

“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!”

About: You can trust that your furry family is in the best hands! As a loving cat and dog owner for over 23 years, I've gained extensive, hands-on experience. My own sweet dog Ruby and beloved cat Frenzie, both crossed the rainbow bridge at nearly 18 years old, giving me profound expertise and patience with senior and special-needs animals. I am reliable, compassionate, and ready to spoil your pets rotten. I currently homeschool my daughter and have a lot of availability. If I am not home, my animal-loving husband, who works from home, often is. I have a screened in lanai where they can bask in the sun. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood, perfect for walks around the area. I am available at your home for long or short walks, as well as time to love on and keep your pet company.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. I raised 2 liters of puppies with my family. Neighbors and friends have looked to me to take care of their dogs because of how much I enjoy doing it. I am currently home for the summer before I move and start my full-time job in August. I have lots of free time and love spending time with animals. I would be more than happy to take care of your pets whenever you need it! I'm very high energy, but also very tidy and would watch over your pet and home very nicely. I have my own dog who I have raised on my own, I have also walked and watched dogs consistently since I was in high school.

“Noelle is great .She is very cheerful and enthusiastic . Elsa looks forward to her walks with her.”

About: Been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had cats and digs growing up my entire life! I love to be active and walk and have free time and would love to be around animals I am Flexible all week and weekend when in town. I do travel often. Want to stay busy when I am in town and love animals! I can do whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and crate of my own. I only crate mine now when needed but that is not often as he is older. I only have one of my dogs with me at my home as my other dog is with my mother in my home town.

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for the holidays :) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, hamsters, I love them all! I’m always the go to in my family for dog sitting and I enjoy every second of it. I have 2 wonderful dogs that are the joys of my life. I work full time as a nurse so I work 3 days a week which gives me plenty of time off to spend giving extra love!

“Katarina was a great walker.”

About: My husband, Trevor, and I both grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, fish, and he even had several birds! Over our years together we have loved three dogs, a bearded dragon, and a turtle. We have also been relied on, and trust by, many friends and family members to take care of their pets while at work or away. We have an especially soft spot for dogs and are taking our unbeatable belly rubs full-time with drop-in care and walking for small to medium (up to 40lbs) dogs. Larger dogs will be considered if they are a companion to a smaller dog. I also provide drop-in cat and other pet care upon request. Pet care is my (Morgan) full-time job, so your pet will receive my full time and attention during each play-date or walk. I am available Monday through Friday mornings and and afternoons from 6am-3pm, with some evening availability on Mondays and Fridays from 5-8pm. Additionally, I am available all day on most weekends. Please reach out with your pet’s needs - I can’t wait to meet them! Tail waggin walks, play, and cozy cuddles await! Pet care is my full-time job, so you can rest assured your pup will be well supervised and cared for throughout the play-date.

When you book a walk or play-date with me - you and your pet become family. You can expect the same level of care and respect as we give to our baby boys. Barker, our chunky frenchie, and Gus, our hilarious little chorkie, receive daily walks and playtime at the dog park and yard (weather accommodating). When the rain or heat keeps us in, Barker loves to chase a ball or play tug of war, while Gus enjoys scratches and a cozy nap! Whatever your pet’s speed - I am here to accommodate and ensure they receive the highest level of care, always.

About: I recently relocated to Sarasota, FL from Boston after many years of caring for pets back home. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have had my own pets for over 20 years, giving me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I currently share my home with two cats and a dog, so I’m familiar with the daily joys and responsibilities of pet care. Over the years, I’ve also pet-sat for friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues, caring for their cats and dogs with the same love and attention I give my own. I specialize in thoughtful, loving care for pets of all ages and personalities—from playful puppies to senior dogs, and curious kittens to shy adult cats. I also volunteer as a cat socializer at a local animal shelter, helping nervous or anxious cats gain trust and confidence. ****While I’m new to Rover as a sitter, I’ve been a trusted pet caregiver outside the app for years and can provide references if needed. I’ve also used Rover myself as a pet parent, so I understand how important clear communication, respecting routines, and truly connecting with your pets are.**** Whether it’s a dog who loves long walks or a cat who needs a calm presence, I bring reliability, patience, and a deep love for animals to every booking. I have a very open and flexible schedule, which lets me give pets the time and attention they truly deserve. Working remotely throughout the day means I can easily accommodate pets who need extra companionship, custom routines, or even last-minute bookings. My dog and two cats keep me on a regular pet care rhythm—walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of interaction are already part of my daily life! I believe pets thrive when they can stay in their familiar environment, so I’m happy to care for them right in their home where they feel safest. I’m very respectful of each pet’s existing routine—whether that’s specific feeding times, walks, medication, or bedtime rituals- I do my best to keep everything consistent and stress-free. I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in for a midday walk or staying overnight for full-time companionship, I make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you can feel connected and confident every step of the way!!

About: With over 30 years of love and experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live in Palmer Ranch, a beautiful coastal community in Sarasota, FL and I'm grateful to have met so many wonderful neighbors and furry friends. I'm happy to travel to local neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little playful adventure together with your beloved pet. 🐾💞 I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

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.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of every age from puppy to senior. And I have taken classes with my own dog for basic behavior training, reactivity, and anxiety. I’m highly communicative and understand how important updates are when you’re away from your furry family member. You can expect prompt responses, regular photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving personalized care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quieter routine, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m a teacher off for the summer so I have a pretty flexible schedule to make time to walk, play, and check on dogs. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm environment and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands.

I provide plenty of affection, supervision, and positive attention while ensuring pets have a safe, clean environment. Communication is important to me, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos throughout their stay or visit.
