Dog Sitting Sarasota

“Brandi and Cayden have been doing drop-in visits with our dog Opal for a week now. Opal is receiving all of the care, loving, and attention she could need. Brandi and Cayden are communicative, prompt, and very easy to work with.”

About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.

About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a kitten, I’m well-versed in managing different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I provide reliable, attentive care—whether that means active neighborhood walks or quiet drop-ins with plenty of play and affection. I’ll treat your pets with the same level of care and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily accommodate drop-in visits and walks throughout the week. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine alongside caring for my own animals. Safety is my top priority. I always verify doors and gates are secure, follow detailed care instructions closely, and keep pets properly leashed or supervised during all visits and outdoor time.

About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I want you to have that peace of mind! Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, stopping by for some playtime, or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I also know that every pet has their own little personality, quirks, and routines, so I always do my best to make them feel comfortable and keep things as familiar as possible. Whether that means extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them their space, I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them happiest! I truly love being around animals and would be so excited to get to know yours. I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own two boys! 🐾💕 With a flexible schedule, I bring the best of both worlds as your dog walker and cat sitter. Working remotely and locally allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day, ensuring your furry friends receive the attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday dog walk or a cozy cat cuddle session, my schedule adapts to yours. I prioritize reliability and availability, providing peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable hands at a time that suits you. Here to help with what aligns best with your schedule, making life easier for both you and your beloved companions! Every day is an adventure with Eli. Working remotely allows me to be present for my him, taking him for walks around our neighborhood, providing not just exercise but also a chance to explore the world together then cuddling up for a nap. With my previous dog, Tanner, he would enjoy two hours of playtime in our fenced yard, filled with games and activities that cater to his energetic spirit. Once a week, we would take a special trip to a nearby kayak launch. This scenic spot, within walking distance from our house, became a favorite for him. Here, he learned to swim, and we revel in the joy of playing together on warm summer days.

About: Taken care of many cats and dogs! I have worked in pet boarding resorts! As long as your friendly pooch and I get along well, I will gladly care for your dog as schedule allows! I am a swim teacher, but on my free days and in my other free time can walk dogs and do drop in visits for any non aggressive dog, cat or caged pets. Aggressive pets will be taken on case by case basis if I’ll be able to safely handle. I currently live in a condo with my own dog, but during drop in visits and walks I’ll be paying attention to dog or cat interests and health needs. I’m willing to cater to the individual needs of the pet and treat them like my own. Also willing to care for non cat/dog pets within home as well.

On these days i typically work 9am-5pm, But i'm available after that. On days i am not working i have open availability!

About: I provide a close watch and a good experience for your animal! I have a dog of my own and know what it takes to care for them.

About: Growing up will all kinds of pets taught me early on just how much I truly loved animals. I have experience not only from caring for my own pets in the past but also pet sitting for friends and family over the years. I understand how worrisome it is leaving your furry best friends behind when needing to travel and ensure you I will provide nothing but the best care and update you every step of the way. If you are a previous client and see my calendar shows as unavailable please feel free to message me - as sometimes I do block off dates of tentative plans and may in fact be available! I work remote from home M-F. Generally speaking my schedule is extremely flexible. I am home all day other than going to the occasional appointment or gym for about 1-2hrs. Weekends don’t have a schedule however I obviously will be around as needed when scheduled to care for you pets. I tend to think of animals more highly than people. I ensure their safety in any way possible from basic common sense to special requests from owners.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs, horses, and other animals, and caring for them has always come naturally to me.

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine—from walks and playtime to meals, medications, potty breaks, cuddles, and plenty of attention. ❤️ What you can expect from me: 🐶 Lots of love, patience & attention 🐾 Reliable and responsible care 🦴 Comfortable with dogs of all sizes 🐱 Comfortable caring for cats 🐴 Lifelong experience with horses 📸 Regular updates & photos so you know your pet is happy 🏡 Respectful of your home and your pet’s routine My goal is simple: when you’re away, I want your pets to feel like their favorite person didn’t really leave. ❤️ I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to make time for pet care. I’m able to plan my availability around my clients’ needs and provide dependable, one-on-one attention to their pets.

About: I’m a certified Veterinary Technician with hands-on clinical experience, which sets me apart from most sitters who don’t have a medical background. I can recognize early signs of illness, injury, or distress that an untrained eye might miss — and I know how to respond calmly if something comes up. Specific skills I bring: • Medication administration — comfortable with oral and topical meds, including multi-pet or complex schedules • Senior pet care — experienced with mobility issues, medication timing, and the extra patience older pets need • Puppy care — house training reinforcement, socialization, and safe exercise for growing joints • Anxious or special-needs pets — calm, patient handling for pets who need extra reassurance • Health monitoring — tracking eating, energy, and bathroom habits so you get an accurate picture, not just “they’re fine Pet care is a consistent, reliable part of my week, not something squeezed in around other plans. Monday through Thursday, I’m available after 4:30 PM through 7 AM the next morning — perfect for evening walks, overnight stays, or early morning visits before your day starts. Friday through Sunday, I’m open all day and night, so weekend trips, full-day pet sitting, and last-minute weekend bookings are easy to accommodate. This schedule means your pet gets steady, dependable care on a routine they can count on — whether it’s a weekday evening walk after work or a full weekend of overnight sitting. Overnight & House Sitting I stay in your home so your pet keeps their normal routine, environment, and comfort — no stressful car rides or unfamiliar spaces. I follow their existing feeding, walk, and medication schedule exactly as you’d do it, and I spend real time with them (not just quick check-ins) so they get companionship, not just care. I also keep an eye on the house — bringing in mail/packages, watering plants, and making sure everything’s secure while you’re away. Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits I arrive on schedule and give your pet my full attention for the visit — fresh food and water, a walk or bathroom break, and playtime or affection depending on their energy level. For pets on medication, I handle that at the right time with the right dose. I always do a quick health/behavior check while I’m there, since my vet tech background means I notice things like changes in appetite, energy, or mobility. Every visit, regardless of service • Daily photo and video updates so you can see exactly how things are going • Care that matches their routine, not a one-size-fits-all approach • Attentiveness to health and behavior, not just supervision I don’t currently offer boarding in my own home — all my services take place at your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar space.

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional care for my furry family member, courtesy of an amazing dog sitter. Despite never having met before, she went above and beyond when my dog fell ill, displaying unparalleled kindness and dedication. During my absence, my dog unfortunately fell sick, leaving a messy situation. Not only did she clean up the mess promptly and efficiently, but she also ensured the entire area was cleaned, going the extra mile to make sure my home was left in pristine condition. Furthermore, her genuine concern for my dog’s well-being shone through when she prepared a comforting meal of chicken and rice, tailored to soothe my dog’s upset stomach. This thoughtful gesture demonstrated her understanding and commitment to providing personalized care. What truly touched my heart was her willingness to take immediate action by seeking medical attention for my dog. Without hesitation, she utilized her own resources to obtain necessary medication from the vet, sparing no expense to ensure my dog received the best possible care. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care and compassion exhibited by Michelle. Her selfless actions, genuine concern, and unwavering dedication are a testament to her professionalism and love for animals. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate pet care. She is truly a gem, and I am immensely grateful for her invaluable assistance during a challenging time.”
