“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”


“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”

“Kym and Glen always take great care of my Blu. It was clear from the start that they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. They provided regular updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind knowing my pup is happy and well-cared for while working my long hours. My dog always is so excited to spend the day with Glen and Kym. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”

“Michelle is super nice. We felt comfortable leaving Mazy in her care. Mazy had a day of fun I know this because she has been sleeping for 3 hours since we picked her up. Would definitely use her again”

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.

About: you would like to have Peace of Mind abut your beloved pet - you are in the right place! I had dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I love animals, and will care for yours as well as for my own. I will spoil them, but not more then you like me to do it. Puppies and seniors, large and small - everybody is welcome. As long as your dog or cat likes chihuahuas (not as a snack) and OK with cats. I am working from home, so your pet will never feel abandoned. We do not have small children. Our house is large, and dogs allowed everywhere. I will take dogs on walks, play with them, feed as directed, and follow every care instruction. I can also babysit your cat.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

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.
About: I provide personalized routines, patient guidance, and playful enrichment, creating a safe environment where every dog feels understood, engaged, and excited to learn and explore I offer flexible, reliable availability, making it easy to book last-minute care. I’m consistently present, responsive, and ready to support your pet whenever you need me I care for pets like my own, learning their personalities, keeping their routines, and giving consistent comfort so they feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved
About: I have a special place in my heart for little dogs. I am currently a grandPAWrent to two beautiful and spunky little pups. Although they don’t live with me, I like to see them as often as possible. I will care for your furbaby as if it were my own! I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your furbaby in my home providing a quiet environment and a subdivision that has lots of sidewalks. I currently do not have a furbaby but I really enjoy being a grandPAWrent. We enjoy walks and playtime whenever possible at parks, subdivisions or wherever provides a safe environment. I will provide a quiet atmosphere and do my best to make your pup feel at home.
About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds since i was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their pets. I've trained 2 puppies to be house trained including my dog I own now. I am an avid animal lover and I'm currently a stay at home mom and have lots of free time to board/take care of your dog(s) or cat(s). I love dog walking & giving your pets the most attention and love they deserve! I will feed, walk & play with your pet whether its in my home or yours. I have a decent size yard to allow your dog to run around with my very friendly dog to keep them company! I can also keep them crated if you prefer but have dog beds for your pet to cozy up and feel at home in my home.

“They were awesome! Glen had a great time playing with the other dogs there! They know a ton about dogs so I felt extremely comfortable leaving glen with them for the day and they were great to him! Definitely will be using them anytime I am in town!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 3. I have experience with small and big dogs, ranging from a yorkie to a golden retriever. I have taken care of different family members’ dogs and love to play and snuggle with them! I work part time and my days vary so I will make my availability around my work hours. When I work, it is between 7-3:30 on the week days so I could stop in the morning before a shift and right after if it works for you. When I do not work, I have full availability and can coordinate with you how often I should see your pet! I’m very flexible with the wants of the client! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority! I make sure your pets are always supervised, kept in a safe and clean environment, and cared for according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I will gladly send pictures throughout the day if you want updates and see your pets!
About: I have had pets my entire life. With a range of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, geckos, chinchillas, and fish. I take pride in knowing animal behaviors and being able to accommodate to all needs from puppies to seniors. I work full time but can work from home when needed. My husband is a stay at home dad. So someone is always at the house or near by. We have a large spacious home, with plenty of space to explore and find comfort. Our backyard is fenced in with a lock on the gate. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and paths and is residential so only local homeowners travel in and out the area. Very quiet and clean neighborhood.

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 no longer have any pets of my own, and I currently offer private, One-Of-A-Kind, VIP Boarding for one family at a time—up to two dogs—under 40 pounds each. I provide a peaceful, clean, safe, loving, sweet, and genuinely caring spa-like environment. Your pup 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 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 terrace overlooking the beautiful Manatee River. I leave for only two hours each day—on weekdays only—and I’ll be sure your pup is exercised and tired out before I duck out briefly. Your pup can nap comfortably in my home during my short time away, and on weekends I donor have to leave at all. We have extensive places to walk and play right in my large, beautiful apartment grounds & surrounding parks and walkways. The large apartment terrace is also a lovely place to play, sunbathe and watch the river below. I follow all of your specific guidance and directions, including the precise administration of any medicines, supplements or special food. I make sure all details are constantly—and correctly—attended to, and I check in with you throughout each day sending daily updates, pictures and videos. 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! ♥️🐶🐾♥️
