cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. This summer I will be in a production at the Asolo Repertory Theatre but before that I am looking to spend as much time with pups as I can. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I love dogs and am able to work with all breeds. I discovered a knack for connecting with dogs while dog-sitting for a family member a couple of years ago. Since being laid off, I've decided that I'll indulge in my passion and help pet owners keep their furry loved ones happy and healthy. Pet sitting is a part-time gig at about 30 hours/week for me. I am currently available anytime to drop in and check on your pet, as long as there is at least a 2 hour notice! If you need to drop your pet off, please provide a 24 hour notice. Pet sitting is something that must be prepared for, so please communicate with me your pet needs and I'll make sure to get them. I ensure you pet is comfortable and secure in your home location, and that they aren't lacking anything. Also will ensure pets have ample play, walks and interaction as that will keep them happy and healthy. All safety precautions are taken (i.e. leashes, ensuring enclosures are tight, etc). I am committed to ensuring your remains happy and healthy while you have to be away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: Since I was 9 I’ve raised and handled all sorts of pets- dogs, cats, budgies, hermit crabs, you name it! I’ve always had a passion for animals, especially dogs, and throughout my life have researched much about their behavior and how to train them. I’ve owned a number of different dog breeds, each with their particular personalities and needs, such as bullmastiffs, German shepherds, labs, and the dog I currently own, my little old Brussels griffon named Willie. I’ve also taken care of cats from a young age, and understand their unique temperament compared to dogs. Currently, I own two cats, Bisa and Alice. Currently, I am on summer vacation, with only one online engineering class. I’ll be in Sarasota until June 21, but before then I can work any time! Days, nights, weekends, no problem. When I’m in my own home, I am very patient with my own pets, watching their behavior to know what they want and what they don’t want, while also keeping them from getting into trouble or hurting themselves. I would treat other pets with this same patience and understanding if I house-sitted. Additionally, I’ve found that a healthy dose of snuggles, treats, and exercise usually helps animals to feel at ease.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!
