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.

Jewell is an amazing dog walker. She arrived early to meet Nauni which was very thoughtful. Nauni was very happy when she returned from her walk with Jewell. I will use Jewell again.

Stephany has been coming over for walks with my senior pup for a few weeks now. A couple of the requests were short-notice and she was still able to help. She’s very responsive, gives great reports on how the visit went and always includes lots of pics. Her love for animals is so apparent! Thank you Stephany!!

About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working part time and enjoy a flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I am an empty nester with a longtime boyfriend; we have been in Florida for almost two years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.

About: I have various experience with all sorts of animals, including large farm animals. As a current owner of two dogs and one cat, I’m comfortable with them all and want to help your animal feel loved and cared for when you are not able to be there with them. I love getting down on the floor to rub puppy bellies and getting cats to play. I will do my absolute best to make sure your pet(s) are having a great time while you are away and provide them any comfort they may need. From cuddle bugs to loners, I’ve dealt with them all and know how to alter my approach to best suit your fur babies. I guarantee they’ll love me in no time and be beyond excited to see me on my next trip! I’m a server so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in and play with your pets to ensure they are feeling loved while you’re away! By staying in your home, I can make sure that your pets feel safe and at ease, rather than making them come into a new unknown environment.

I currently live with a senior dogs who loves his peace and quiet, so while I will not be able to care for pets in my home I am happy to come to yours.

About: Hire me and your dog won’t be barking up the wrong tree! I’ve adored man’s best friend since I was a small child, and loving and taking care of other’s furry friends since I was 8 years old came easy to me. My years of experience have helped me be equipped at walking, bathing, cleaning up bodily waste, and wiping down dogs after being outside. Does your dog have a hard time not being distracted and pulling you every which way on a walk? No problem! I am capable of being stern and respectful with your companion in order for them not to get hurt by running off or be mischievous toward other individuals. Whether your dog is shy and skittish or disturbs the neighbors by being easily amused and barks when there’s too much excitement, I strive to create a calm and quiet atmosphere to gain their trust and to be respectful of their needs. If they require someone who can match their more bubbly energy, I also am more than happy to comply to this as well. When you’re away, there’s no need to worry since I will give as much affection as your pet desires while also making sure they are well fed and given plenty of water all according to their feeding plan and schedule. It would be my absolute pleasure to treasure your dog by being their pet sitter! I am free for most of the weekday during the mornings (starting at 7:30 AM) and some afternoons and evenings. If you need a carer earlier in the mornings, I will see if I am available to do so. I am currently not working anywhere else and have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I am flexible with keeping your pet wherever you need them inside or around your home. In the yard, a crate, or a room, I will accompany them and keep them in the place they need to be during and after the visit.

About: Hi there! My name is Sierra and I’m a huge animal lover! I have grown up with animals my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, lizards…you name it. I’m comfortable with any kind of pet. Being surrounded by animals has really sparked a passion in me and even led me into my career. I used to work full time as a veterinary technician, so you know your fur babies are in good hands with me! I can’t wait to meet your adorable pets! I am currently a stay at home mom with my almost 2 year old daughter so I will have plenty of time to give your fur baby all the love and attention they deserve! I have a fully fenced yard so you never have to worry about them getting loose. I have 3 cats of my own who are all very friendly and do well with other cats and dogs, however accommodations can always be made and my cats can be confined to a certain area of the house.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life. I even moved to another country to take care of them! Pure joy it brings me. I’m currently working full-time 9-5 until December. After that, I will have more time to enjoy the day outside with pets and connect with nature. While your pet is staying at my home, I will walk them every 2-3 hours. I enjoy walks alone so I’m excited for the company. They can sleep on my bed and sit on the couch. I am not fussy. I will respect your home and most importantly take care of your pet like I would with mine. My childhood dog that I had since I was 7, passed away a couple years ago. I miss having Rocky around and want the joy of having a pet in my daily life again.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for the last few years. I have two cats at home but I also love dogs. I will give them the love they need while you are away. I am currently available all times for the next two weeks. My work schedule is flexible and I can go by your place in the morning and evening and for a quick check in during the afternoon if needed or can easily stay at your place if needed to stay overnight At my home we don’t let our cats outside to protect them from wild animals outside like alligators and in other homes I would not let someone’s dog outside loose unless in a fenced yard otherwise I would have them on a leash.
