House Sitting in Osprey

About: In regards to my experience with personal pet care. From a young age, I have raised and help nurture animals in all stages of their life. Along with dogs I have provided care for other animals such as: Cats, Fish, and Horses of various shapes and sizes. LGBTQIA friendly 💖🏳️‍🌈 I am currently a Freelance Character Designer and Illustrator, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what's up and I'll probably be down. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets wellbeing and comfort is a top priority! Also I maintain and keep schedules and plans in place for your pet; along with monitoring health, behavior and notifying pet parents of any change that arises while in my care. I want to be 100% transparent with everything that goes on in your absence to keep you at a peace of mind.

“Libah was amazing! During our meet and greet, she asked questions and took notes to make sure Trix was given the best care. She made sure to use Trix’s routine to ensure her happiness. Libah was great with communication while I was gone. I never had to worry about what was happening at home.”

“Hadlee, did an absolutely amazing job with my dog — truly the best! From the very beginning, she was loving, patient, and incredibly attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring and trustworthy hands. The care, dedication, and genuine love she shows for animals really stand out. I couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best care for their dog.”

“Madison took great care of our two dogs. She sent photo updates throughout the stay and kept me posted if she needed anything. Both dogs seemed plenty happy when we got home and well cared for!”

Alexa H.

“Extremely grateful for Carolina. Worked around my schedule last minute to watch my dog in my house for a week. Dependable, responsible, and trustworthy. Added bonus of also being very communicative. Highly recommend”

“Best rover we have ever had. We have two older dogs with some incompetency problems and when we got home, everything was super clean. The dogs were super relaxed and happy and she even left on jazz music for them to chill too when we got home. 10/10 no notes she’s amazing”

Cathryn D.

“Amanda was incredible with our pets! She took them on walks and sent us multiple pictures of them while we were gone. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets while house sitting I strongly recommend reaching out to her! I know I will next time we need a sitter!”

David G.

“Noelle was an amazing dog sitter for our active English Bulldog! She came for a meet and greet, and we hired her on the spot! Her communication was amazing throughout the process and the trip, and we could really enjoy our time away. It was a great feeling coming home to a pup that was happy, loved and comfortable in our home rather than in a kennel. We highly recommend Noelle!”

“Alex did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 dogs. She sent photos daily and the dogs always looked happy. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Felicia won over our little pack of French Bulldogs in the first 10 minutes of them meeting her. She sent me pictures of everyone relaxed on the couch with her, in the yard with her and getting belly rubs. It was so nice to see them calm and content as they have been grieving the loss of their favorite person and have been very anxious whenever I needed to leave to run errands. We definitely will have her back, they thrived on the attention from her!”

About: As someone who likes to travel, I know the anxiety of being away from your beloved pet. I myself have a rescue cat and older dog. I have also dog sat for family members; ensuring walks, vet visits, and all other needs were taken care. I love animals. While your away, I'll make sure to care for them like your not even away. :D I work part-time at UTC Mall. My schedule can be very flexible. I have windows of open availability throughout the day, depending on location. I am will to drive to most places within Manatee County. I consider myself a person that dog and cats find approachable. I do not pressure them and allow pets to find their comfortable space with me. Whether that is how I approach or speak to a pet. I many times will allow them to smell me, when they are ready. I find it very important to build trust.

“Monica was incredible! She truly went above and beyond to take care of our pup while we were out of the country. The worst part of any vacation is leaving Nori but Monica kept our minds at ease. Highly recommend!!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets and 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 near the ocean in Sarasota and I'm happy to travel to neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little 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.🐾🏖☀️💞

“Raina was awesome! 10/10!! The pets were well taken care of and loved her, I know, because they all slept in the bed with her, and they only do that when comfortable. She also left the house clean and was a great communicator. I would highly recommend Raina for pet sitting, and we will book her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every dog. I don't just watch the dogs - I connect with them. I take time to understand their personalities, routines and needs to fill safe, relaxed and loved while you are away. Because I work from home, caring for dogs fits naturally into my day. I am able to provide lots of walks, outdoor time play and companionship throughout the day. Its a joy to have pet time as part of my daily routine. Your dogs safety and comfort is my number one priority whether it is in your home or mine. I pay attention to all the details you provide me regarding your pets personality and needs.

About: Hi, I'm Miranda, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience in pet care, including in-home sitting and drop in visits for cats and dogs and even the occasional exotic fish or bird. Based in North Port, Venice and Sarasota areas. I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar environment—free from the stress of kennels or boarding facilities. That's why I specialize in personalized, overnight in-home pet sitting, ensuring your furry family member gets the love, exercise, and routine they crave while you're away. I've fostered many rescues in my home. I have skills in everything from oral medication administration to basic behavioral training. Whether it's daily walks in the neighborhood, playtime with toys, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, I tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected! Past clients rave about my reliability and the peace of mind I bring. When I'm not watching fur babies, you'll find me at the beach, hanging out with my 2 rescue pups or adventuring. Ready to book a meet-and-greet? Message me! Let's keep your pet happy, healthy, and home—where they belong! 🐾 Looking for a reliable sitter in Gulf Gate? I work locally Mon–Thu and can easily swing by for drop-ins before, during, or after my workday. I’m also happy to stay at your place! I’ll be out of your house during the day for work, but I make it a priority to come home at lunch to check on your fur babies and make sure they’re doing great. I’ve been a dedicated animal lover and sitter for over two decades! My journey began on a Colorado ranch where I looked after everything from pups to poultry (and the occasional iguana). Since then, I’ve spent years fostering dogs and building a loyal base of repeat clients who trust me with their homes and 'fur babies.' You can count on me to provide the same love and care I give my own pets, while always leaving your home exactly as I found it—clean and tidy

“Keara is so wonderful! She took great care of our two dogs. We came home and the dogs were so relaxed and the house was cleaner than when we left. She is thoughtful, considerate, responsible and great at communicating. Would definitely hire again!”

“Cher is wonderful! She provided lots of pictures and communication. She even took care of a few household items for us while we were away. I’ve already booked her for our next trip. ?”
