House Sitting Sarasota

About: I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, guinea pigs, and even rescued squirrels! My dad was a certified animal rescuer, so animals have always been a huge part of my life. 🐾 I’ve been professionally dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from Great Danes to small dogs, as well as puppies still potty training and senior dogs needing medications or special diets. My own pup, Mary, is an 8 lb Pomeranian! I love taking dogs on walks, keeping them active, and giving them lots of love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work full-time in Sarasota, typically 8–9 hours a day, so I would be away during my workday Monday–Friday. I’m able to take a lunch break for a midday potty break if the home is within about 20 minutes of my workplace, and depending on the pet’s needs and the situation, I may be able to adjust my schedule when planned in advance. I’m available to stay overnight and will be with your pets before and after work, and I’m much more flexible on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and needs are well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their feeding schedule, provide fresh water, give medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I also owned a cleaning business and regularly cared for the pets of my cleaning clients. This gave me years of experience being trusted in people’s homes. I’m respectful of your space, will clean up after myself and your pets, and will leave your home neat and the way I found it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets (house & farm) since I was a kid! I have lots of experience with large dogs (Great Pyrenees) and animals of all sizes! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have lots of free time to check up on your pets and in corporate play while they’re in my care! A typical free day with my pets includes lots of park trips and hiking trails. My dogs love to hike and my bunnies love a good park trip!

About: I've taken care of my childhood dog until her passing as well as many dogs, small-medium, and cats for the past few years. I just moved to this area and walking around different towns has become a big hobby of mine! I work in downtown Sarasota and I’m able to run out here and there for drop ins, I usually spend my lunch break taking a walk through town and I’m free on weekends! I’m big on phone-less walks except for pictures, with all the wildlife around and the heat in Florida I really like to be focused on my pet and check on their behavior and what catches their eye during walks

“Danielle was our first ever dog sitter and she made the experience effortless. She was very flexible with meeting us and our two older dogs in advance and was always punctual. Her upbeat energy immediately put our dogs at ease. Danielle kept us updated with photos each day and even went as far as washing and drying any linens she used while here. We highly recommend her!”

“This is the second time we’ve had Jack watch our pups while we were gone for a week. He did great as always! He gives us consistent peace of mind while we are away, knowing the dogs have good and caring company.”

“Molly was such a sweetheart ! she took great care of my pup I came home to a happy little boy and our house was spotless. She even went a bit further with reaching out when a storm was coming into town to see if she needed to weatherproof anything. Thank you Molly 💝 we will definitely be using her again”

“Seth spent a long weekend with our pups and cat and took great care of the animals and our home. His knowledge and empathy with animals is evident in his updates and communication.”

“Sara was amazing! She sent me photos every day. She has the sweetest dog named Pumpkin who became fast friends with my dog. I highly recommend her!”

“Cassie was great. My dog has an overwhelming interest in chasing cats that she displayed on her meet and greet. It did not detour Cassie away. I highly recommend!”

About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.

“Erin was amazing, it’s so hard to trust your fur babies with someone but she went above and beyond with communication and photos. We will most certainly be booking with her again.”

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.

“The best decision we could have made! I had never left my baby with anyone before, and I did it with Mauricio. He's incredibly good, and communication is excellent. I recommend him 200%. THANK YOU!! I'm sure we'll be back.”

“My dog and I were very pleased with Karen, she took really good care of him and was very flexible in the organisation. Karen stayed even over in our house for the best support to our dog. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly persitter.”

“Pris stayed in constant contact through caring for our three senior dogs. She was great with them and truly cared for them like they were her own. We'll hire Pris again in a minute when needed. Very easy to work with and nearby so it was easy for all of us.”

“Susan was great. She was happy to meet our 1 year old German Shepard and they immediately got along and started playing fetch. Happy dog and a clean house when we can home. Thanks Susan.”

About: Hi! I’m Kim, a certified dog trainer and experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, including feeding routines, medication administration, and managing multiple pets at once. I have hands on experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rodents, and horses, so I’m confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs. As a pet owner myself with three dogs and a cat, I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. You can count on clear communication, dependability, and lots of love and attention for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book! Pet care is my full time job, so my daily and weekly routine is fully centered around the pets I care for. This allows me to provide consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and reliable care for every client. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, and any special care needs like medications or senior support. Since this is my primary focus, I’m able to give pets the time, structure, and attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy schedule. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last minute needs, I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and fully present for both you and your pet. I like to keep pets on a consistent routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. In my home, my dogs start their day around 6 a.m. with a potty break and a walk, followed by breakfast and another quick trip outside. In the afternoon and evening, they go out again, have dinner, and get either a walk or playtime in the yard. When caring for pets in your home, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care they need, so they stay happy and stress-free. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular photo and video updates and stay responsive to messages. Since pet care is my full time job, I have flexible availability and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease, and that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Although I am new to professional sitting, I grew up caring for my own dog and have a lifelong connection with animals. I am naturally patient, detail-oriented, and fully committed to treating your dog with the care and affection they deserve. Whether it is keeping them active on walks or giving them a safe, calm environment, your pet's happiness is my top priority. Let's schedule a meet and greet! I work a standard 9-to-5 schedule as an IT professional, which means I am fully available during weekday evenings after 5:00 PM and have wide-open availability on weekends for walks, and sitting. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, secure, and hazard-free environment for any pet in my care. I am extremely detail-oriented, follow instructions precisely regarding feeding or medication, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit.

“We are so grateful to have found Stephanie. Our sweet poodle Justice came home the day before from surgery and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger. However Stephanie's calm presence and obviously love for animals came through and Justice was very open to her. Stephanie communicated with us while we were away as well as shared photos. I look forward to having Stephanie come again or Justice going to her home.”
