“Katherine was incredibly sweet and compassionate with my lil dude (cat) who recently lost his bonded mate so he was a little all over the place for their visits, and I just so appreciate her - perfect blend of kindness and expertise. I had to leave unexpectedly and book her last minute for a few days and she really went the extra mile for us, I knew he was in good hands at her first drop-in. Thanks Katherine! 🤍🙌”

About: Aside from being a lifelong pet owner myself, I have over 20 years of experience caring for all pets. I’ve always had a natural love for animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs and understand the extra care and attention they may require. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🫶🏼 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and with my children now in school, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m available during the day for walks and drop-in visits, which makes me a great fit for pets who need some extra attention, exercise, or a potty break while their owners are at work. I’m happy to provide consistent, dependable care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during visits. I currently offer pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure their pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while they’re away.

My family member views me as responsible and reliable to take of their animals. I am currently under a mentorship for my future career job, ill be bale to take care of the pets early in the morning or after noon Animals deserve all the love they can get while their owners are away, while also being provided a safe and healthy environment, along with their fun!
About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for the holidays :) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.
About: I owned a husky and let me tell you was he the biggest handful ive ever had to deal with. Thankfully growing up all my life with dogs and through my husky “Koda” I am more than capable of fulfilling all needs a dog/owner could ask for. Right now my schedule is virtually free. Best times to book with me are 9am-5pm. Can work outside those hours in some cases. I am flexible. At home i have always treated my animals with the upmost respect, making sure they feel loved, and giving them a sense of security at all times. At a client’s house it would be no different. I just love all pets.
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.
“She was prompt and super kind! Quick response time. One of the days she came to visit our pet, the rover app was down, so she went out of her way to check in & send pictures through text. Awesome experience!”
About: Hi, I'm Miranda, a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of experience in pet care, including in-home sitting and drop in visits for cats and dogs and even the occasional exotic fish or bird. Based in North Port, Venice and Sarasota areas. I believe pets thrive best in their own familiar environment—free from the stress of kennels or boarding facilities. That's why I specialize in personalized, overnight in-home pet sitting, ensuring your furry family member gets the love, exercise, and routine they crave while you're away. I've fostered many rescues in my home. I have skills in everything from oral medication administration to basic behavioral training. Whether it's daily walks in the neighborhood, playtime with toys, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, I tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can stay connected! Past clients rave about my reliability and the peace of mind I bring. When I'm not watching fur babies, you'll find me at the beach, hanging out with my 2 rescue pups or adventuring. Ready to book a meet-and-greet? Message me! Let's keep your pet happy, healthy, and home—where they belong! 🐾 Looking for a reliable sitter in Gulf Gate? I work locally Mon–Thu and can easily swing by for drop-ins before, during, or after my workday. I’m also happy to stay at your place! I’ll be out of your house during the day for work, but I make it a priority to come home at lunch to check on your fur babies and make sure they’re doing great. I’ve been a dedicated animal lover and sitter for over two decades! My journey began on a Colorado ranch where I looked after everything from pups to poultry (and the occasional iguana). Since then, I’ve spent years fostering dogs and building a loyal base of repeat clients who trust me with their homes and 'fur babies.' You can count on me to provide the same love and care I give my own pets, while always leaving your home exactly as I found it—clean and tidy

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Siesta Key
Kim is absolutely wonderful and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She watched our two dogs, Rosie and Tigger, and treated them like her own. From the start, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all their routines perfectly, and gave them tons of attention and affection. Rosie and Tigger were relaxed, happy, and well cared for the entire time—no small feat with two dogs! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Kim is reliable, communicative, and clearly a natural with dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to watch your pups, Kim is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
