Dog Sitting in Siesta Key

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 throughout the entire year. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe them, love them and be their fill in mommy 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 feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them to feel comfortable in their little home.

About: As someone who likes to travel, I know the anxiety of being away from your beloved pet. I myself have a rescue cat and older dog. I have also dog sat for family members; ensuring walks, vet visits, and all other needs were taken care. I love animals. While your away, I'll make sure to care for them like your not even away. :D I work part-time at UTC Mall. My schedule can be very flexible. I have windows of open availability throughout the day, depending on location. I am will to drive to most places within Manatee County. I consider myself a person that dog and cats find approachable. I do not pressure them and allow pets to find their comfortable space with me. Whether that is how I approach or speak to a pet. I many times will allow them to smell me, when they are ready. I find it very important to build trust.

“Alicia did a great job with my senior dachshund. She was on time and provided pictures and feedback of the visit. I would definitely not hesitate to use her again.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!

About: Hi, I’m Nick. I provide structured, dependable pet care built around routine, supervision, and clear communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from working dogs like Brittanys and English Labs to rare breeds like the Swedish Vallhound, as well as rescued strays and foster animals. I adjust care based on temperament, energy level, and age, ensuring each pet feels secure and engaged. This range of experience has taught me how to read behavior, manage different energy levels, and maintain a stable environment for dogs that thrive on structure as well as those who simply need consistency and patience. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands. Oh and lots of pictures :) Because I work from home, your pet is rarely left alone. I provide a stable, structured environment with consistent supervision throughout the day, ideal for dogs that thrive on routine and attentive care. Safety and structure come first in my home. I double check gates and entry points before every walk, use secure leashing practices, and maintain a controlled environment to prevent overstimulation. Whether caring for a senior cat or a high-energy retriever, I tailor each pet’s routine to match their age, temperament, and energy level to keep them safe, balanced, and comfortable.

“She was awesome. Such a great dog lover. She was honest and let us know how Jenna was doing while we were on vacation. I recommended her to everyone I know.”

About: Hi! I’m Allie. I grew up with four golden retrievers and have cared for others’ pets since I was a little girl. I have experience with puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, hyper dogs, slow dogs, sick dogs, and everything in between. I treat all dogs like my own - with love, humility, and respect. I am new to Chicago and was recently laid off, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pup. I have a very flexible schedule. My building allows dogs under 25 lbs. I am in a small space on a quiet street near lots of grass outside. I am attentive, intuitive, and caring.

“Sara did a great job taking care of our animals and we will definitely rebook her in the future!”

“Kaci has cared for my three senior Shelties a couple of times. She has given them lots of TLC. I really appreciate Kaci’s excellent communication skills. She responds quickly to emails & sends updates & pics. I know with Kaci my dogs are safe & receiving the best of care. My Shelties & I are so happy to have connected with Kaci. I have already booked her next visit. Kaci is the best!!!”

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 been a dog and cat owner my entire life! I am full of compassion for animals and very responsible. I would love to take your dog for a walk in the morning, or stop by to give your pet some affection and attention! I currently work part time in the afternoons, so I am available every morning to help out with your dog or cat I love the outdoors and to go for walks. Exercise is important part of my life, so I am very fit and happy to take your dog on walks, rain, or shine! Through the years, I have been through dog training classes with my own pets. I know I have the basics down for being a safe dog walker.

“Wonderful to work with! Kaitlin's always on time & so loving to our little Maisie girl ❤️ Looking forward to our future walks with her.”

About: Aloha, 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: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet lover who has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I always take the time to learn what works best for them. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, lots of attention, or a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to adjust to their needs to make sure they are happy and stress-free. I also have a dog of my own—an Australian Shepherd—so I’m very comfortable handling energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like part of the family. I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with scheduling. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I can often accept last-minute bookings. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow their normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide so they feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, care, and pictures while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, as well as last-minute bookings when needed. Because I’m home-based, I can give pets plenty of attention, stick to their routine, and be consistent with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m happy to work around your pet’s specific schedule to make sure they stay comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away, and I always respect your home by keeping things clean and tidy. I also provide regular photo and update messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Every pet is different, so I take the time to adjust to their personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and independent.

“Cassidy is great with my pups and timely with communication and sending updates!”

“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!”

“Amanda watched our dog Frankie yesterday and she was wonderful. She arrived exactly on time, was so kind and gentle with him, and kept us completely at ease with her excellent communication. She sent updates and photos throughout the day, and Frankie clearly loved her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Amanda is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely great with animals. We’ll absolutely be booking her again!”

About: I'm new to Rover.com as a pet sitter, but I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own pets, including my beloved dog Rosie, and a jubilee of cats over the years as well as my family and friends dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels. I truly connect with each pet on an individual level. Whether it’s a senior dog needing a little extra TLC, a high-energy pup who is new to a harness or eager for a beach adventure, or a kitten that needs gentle care, I bring heartfelt, customized attention to every furry friend. I have cared for many family dogs and cats over the years, as well as provided foster care for several dog rescue organizations and was very active with the MSPCA puppy training with my dog, Rosie. I now live near the ocean in Sarasota, FL and I'm happy to travel to neighborhoods and your home for some comfort and care or to experience a little adventure together with your beloved pet. I've have a flexible part-time schedule, and I’m available during the week or weekends. I can drive to your neighborhood or meet you at a local park at a time that works well with your schedule. Whether your pup needs a stroll around your block or a little outing to the dog park or beach, or your cat needs a drop in, I'm available to personalize your pet care needs. If you need me for a longer stay, I’m available to stay at your home and be a trusted companion for your pet. I respect that safety and trust are really important when it comes to your pets and your space. I want you to feel completely at ease, so I’m flexible about where we meet. You’re more than welcome to have your pet come to my home in Palmer Ranch, though it’s not fully outfitted with all the pet gear, I can still make them comfy, or I’m happy to come to your place or meet wherever you’d like, maybe for a neighborhood walk or a trip to the park. Wherever your dog or cat feels happiest, that’s where we’ll be. I would be honored to care for your fur baby and I look forward to meeting you soon.🐾🏖☀️💞

“Sky has been really great with my baby Jerry! I love my dog so much and I can tell she truly cares about him and animals. She is super responsive and dependable. I had an unexpectedly long day at work this week and she was able to come twice a day on short notice. Thank you so much Sky! 🫶🏻”
