About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.

Always take care of the doggos like they’re theirs! Always leave a detailed message of how their time was with the babies and I laugh because it always sounds so accurate with how they behave. Would highly recommend Stephanie and Elizabeth!!

About: I’ve previously worked as an assistant dog trainer in all levels of the AKC Canine Good Citizen program, handling both puppies and reactive dogs. I also trained a dog to pass the Assistance Dogs International public access service exam and have volunteered at animal shelters. I’ve always loved animals and am now pursuing an animal science degree to turn that passion into my career! I am available the majority of weekdays (8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.), Saturday afternoon/evening (4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.), and most of Sunday (8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.) Safety and trust are my top priorities with every visit. I use calm, confident handling and positive reinforcement to make each booking safe and enjoyable. I’m more than happy to bring treats to reward good manners and positive behavior! I pay close attention to body language and surroundings, keeping walks low-stress so every dog feels secure, enriched, and understood.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover my entire life, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and affection to every pet I look after. I’ve also raised a happy, healthy, deeply loved human to adulthood—so nurturing, attentiveness, and responsibility are second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with dog walking, pet sitting, house sitting, and caring for dogs of all personalities and needs. Whether it’s a walk, a daytime or overnight stay in my home or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, I provide a calm, safe, and genuinely caring environment. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for, understood, cherished & loved. I work from home with a flexible schedule—so your pup will receive constant, attentive care throughout the day. I can board up to two dogs at a time from the same family. I take them out every 1.5 to 2 hours—or more if needed—for walks, fresh air, playtime in one of the three beautiful surrounding parks, off leash time in the small—but secure—fenced outdoor area, or a stroll along my secluded, residential section of the Manatee Riverwalk. Your pup can stay right by my side throughout my workday if they prefer, or enjoy free movement around the apartment and time on the expansive waterfront balcony overlooking the beautiful Manatee River. Your pup will never be left home alone. We have extensive places to walk and play right in my large, beautiful apartment grounds & surrounding parks and walkways. So I typically don’t need to leave in my vehicle while caring for your dog. On the rare occasion that I might need to—with your permission—your pup will come with me and will always remain by my side. Never left alone in a car, and never left alone at home. Looking forward to meeting you & your baby! ♥️🐶🐾♥️ Surrounded by three expansive parks & the newest, residential-only, section of the Manatee Riverwalk, my large, beautiful apartment is calm and serene—truly a spa-like environment. Soft lighting and glowing salt lamps in every room create a warm, peaceful atmosphere, while gentle, spa-style music plays in the background throughout most of the day. It’s a very natural, organic space—unusually calm, grounding, and intentionally designed to feel relaxing and safe. I live alone—with no pets of my own—and I will be the only human in the home while your dog is staying with me. Your specific directions will be followed to the tee at all times: preferences, exercise, play time, bed time, food, treats, medicine & love. Your dog will have a serene, low-stress environment with my full attention, making it an ideal space for comfort, relaxation, personalized care and all the love and cuddles they want. Looking forward to caring for your angel! ♥️🐶🐾♥️

About: Animal rescue has always been part of my life. I've owned dogs, cats, birds and fish and since I've had no children of my own, I treat them as such. I will treat yours the same! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, kitties, and pocket pets too! I have many repeat clients with multi-pet households. Med dispensing is not a problem either. Book me for your next drop-in visit! I’m usually able to accept last minute requests. I respond quickly as well. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I work a full time job Monday- Friday 8am-4pm. I can do drop in visits before and after my work hours, as well as some lunchtime drop ins. My weekend schedule is flexible. During drop in visits I will feed, water and dispense meds to your pet if needed. I will also walk them or let them out in fenced area if applicable.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, my parents being so impressed by how attentive and loving I was with my first dog they allowed me a second and it kept increasing from there. I now have two dogs a German shepherd and a Aussiedoodle, they love company and have never shown any signs of aggression at home or at dog parks. I’ve trained my dogs everything they know and I take pride in them being good girls. I recently stopped working to focus on training my 1 year old Aussiedoodle, therefore leaving me with more than enough time to spend with your furry member(s) of the family. I have 2 acres of unfenced land behind the house for the dogs to run around in, I will not allow your dog to roam around without leash to protect against your dog running off etc
