Dog Sitting in Siesta Key

“Christine was awesome! She always came around the same time, which and important because our cats liked their daily treat at a certain time, did all the things we asked of her and spent time with our cats. We are so appreciative of her visits and felt confident with her caring for our cats. Will definitely utilize her service again in the future!”

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Making sure they get enough exercise by going on long walks, being properly fed ,and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so it depends on whenever you need me and how long you need me to stay, we can work around it! In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure they’re properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention. Their safety and health is also one of my main priorities. If I feel in any way they are in danger, I will take any necessary actions to make sure they are safe and well.

About: I started caring for dogs when I was 12 years old, where I learned to bathe, feed, and train Golden Retrievers. I continued to implement what I learned with those loving dogs, with my own dog who is now 11 years old and is named Oliver! I treat every dog like my own - with love and care. I am a flexible young woman with time before and after my 9-5! I am dependable, caring and responsible. I love to help care for animals and enjoy helping others in my free time. I care for pets in my clients home by being respectful of the space and leaving food and leashes right where I found them and belong. Being respectful and caring of my client’s pet and space is very important to me.

“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs—I’ve been dog sitting since I was young and have always had dogs of my own. I’m very active, so your pups will get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. I love to cuddle, follow routines, and make sure every dog feels safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s energetic puppies or slower-paced seniors, I adjust to their needs and treat them like my own. I genuinely enjoy their company and make their comfort my top priority. Pet care fits into my routine perfectly since I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule. I’m free during the week and only work every other weekend, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight care, I can easily adapt to meet your dog’s specific needs and routine. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to adjust my schedule to what works best for you and your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I always follow the pet’s usual routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to build trust with each pet, giving them plenty of affection, play, and attention so they feel secure while their owner is away. I also keep the home clean and treat it with respect. Since I don’t offer care in my own home, I focus entirely on providing reliable, loving care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they feel safest.

“First time using Rover, so a bit apprehensive. But Lisa and Matthew were fantastic. Updates and pictures every day. Great folks, highly recommended.”

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

“Rebekka is absolutely amazing!! She took on our three bullmastiffs and even tried to find our foster a forever home. She went above and beyond all expectations, even making an extra stop because she was worried one had not peed enough. If you need a dog sitter who treats them as their own, she is your person.”

About: My name is Maria and I love dogs! We'd be happy to give your little guy or gal a home away from home. I have an extremely fit golden retriever that I love to walk daily in our park -1 mile away; its just as easy to walk another pup too. I run my own business, which aside from visiting clients, has me working from home the majority of time. I have been dog sitting for friends/family for years and thought, why not take this up a level? My pup, Porter is extremely friendly and loves other dogs. We'd be happy to host your dog as well. I'm accustomed to working with all sorts of dog-personalities and enjoy giving them love. Text with any questions.

About: I have taken care of and walked my dog since he was a puppy up until he was a senior dog at 12. I have walked, fed, played with, and pet-sit plenty of friends and neighbors dogs of all kinds, big, small, old, young. I work remote full time Monday through Friday 8am to 5 pm. Ideally before or right after work would be the best time, and potentially on weekends. I always do anything I can to make sure pets are comfortable in their environment. I will always be courteous and respectful in a clients home and I will make sure that the pet is well taken care of.

“Jackie is prompt, incredibly kind, and shows so much natural love to our little border collie Rusty. You can tell she deeply loves animals! Rusty absolutely loved to play, walk and give dog hugs! We also appreciated Jackie making time for us on short notice. We’ll definitely work with Jackie again and highly recommend her!”

“Extremely responsive, super organized and most importantly, has already established a great relationship with my special needs dog after only one visit. Not afraid to care for my pooch, provide oral medication or keep my fur baby safe if she should have a seizure while we are away. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.

“Quinn is AMAZING!! She took care of my German Shepherd a few times and I felt so comfortable using her! She sent me so many updates with pictures/videos, and really got his energy out! She was so sweet and I’m so glad we can count on her for future help. I 100% recommend using Quinn, you won’t be disappointed!”

“As always, Jes was wonderful with Peanut. Even though he hasn't seen her recently, he noticed a difference in her disposition. We'll definitely use Jes again!”

“Svetla does a fantastic job. She sends pictures and texts. Our cat Winston loves her and is always glad to see her.”

About: Hi there! My name is Catherine. I’m a Sarasota native and 30 years old. Throughout my childhood, our household had cats. In and post-university, I’ve helped care for both feline and canine family members— never my own, though. I’m not quite in a position where I would be available 365 for my own pet yet (lots of traveling), but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of the day when, finally, the timing will be right! Meanwhile (at least), I would love to help you with yours. I have a lot of energy and would love to expend some of it making your day easier and your pet’s life a bit more fun. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)! Thanks for your time. :) I will have open availability beginning mid-May, but at the moment I am available from 4pm until 6am. Checking-in with your pet is at minimum 20 minutes with me. I care for all pets as if they were my own (children). I give them undivided attention, and make sure to give them as many pets as they will accept (I’m pretty good at picking up cues when they’re not interested or have had enough).

About: I volunteer to walk and train the dogs at my local animal shelter. I can provide basic training for your pet like commands and leash/ dog reactivity. Im currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can come to you or you can come to me. I have one senior friendly dog at home. I have a spare bedroom currently not in use, so your pet can sleep there or in my living room. I live in a calm and safe neighborhood great for walks

“Cher is wonderful! This was my first experience using this service. I'm visiting from out of town and had to go out of town for a few days. Cher responded to my request quickly. Cher and me a text msg while there with my cat, she sent several short videos, she even cleaned up the mess the cat made with his food. I 10/10 recommend Cher!”

“Anna took great care of my dog while I was away. She is very reliable and organized. I trusted that she would give my dog his pills and feed him according to my instructions. She sent lots of pictures also. I would definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!”
