Doggy Day Care in South Bradenton

“Kym and Glen have been wonderful caring for my dog during my long work hours! It’s clear they truly love animals, and my dog is always excited to see them. They provide a safe, fun environment and keep me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend Them for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: We are the typical pet owners who treat their "children" as another loved family member. Our large, fenced yard and our cozy, animal friendly environment is perfect for your "child" while you are away. Our pet (and yours) gets exercised 2-3 times a day, swimming is always allowed if ok with you, and someone is almost always home to play, love and protect your pet. As an owner of Doodles and Mutts- exercise is demanded on a daily basis- so your pet will reap the benefits of our energetic pups. Your pet will receive tons of attention and affection and will be cared for and loved as if they were our own. About this sitter: I am a self-employed woman with a penchant for dogs. I treat them as my children and ensure they are well exercised, loved and have plenty of fun. Why I love dog sitting I have had many dogs in my life and have often helped individuals train their pet. I have extensive (20 years) basic training experience and love to spend time making sure a pet is happy and healthy. About my yard My dog/house guests have access to almost every inch of my home. There is plenty of room to safely roam the fenced 1/2 acre and also plenty of room to play ball, swim, or just run about! Our world revolves around our pets and we will make sure your pet has everything they need to be a happy pet. If there are any special instructions, we will assure that things are done correctly and patiently. We will play and entertain them all day, maybe a swim, maybe a walk, maybe a trip to the park. Down time may include cuddles, Doggie YouTube to keep their brains stimulated and regular potty breaks.

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.

“They were awesome! Glen had a great time playing with the other dogs there! They know a ton about dogs so I felt extremely comfortable leaving glen with them for the day and they were great to him! Definitely will be using them anytime I am in town!”

“I cannot recommend this puppy sitter enough! They took amazing care of my puppy while I was visiting the area. So accommodating, kind, and flexible with my travel schedule — it truly made all the difference. My puppy was clearly well cared for and happy, which gave me peace of mind throughout my stay. I’m so grateful for Cheri’s help and would definitely book again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

“Justin was good with Gracie. He picked her up with no fuss and after a slight change of plans. Gracie seems to have had a fine day. Thank you!”

About: I have a special place in my heart for little dogs. I am currently a grandPAWrent to two beautiful and spunky little pups. Although they don’t live with me, I like to see them as often as possible. I will care for your furbaby as if it were my own! I am retired so I have plenty of time to care for your furbaby in my home providing a quiet environment and a subdivision that has lots of sidewalks.

About: Hey, I'm Charlie. I live in the Wares Creek area. I have a partner, no kids, and best of all, I have a flexible "real" job that allows me to do Rover also. My partner Lisa and I love animals - esp cats and dogs. I can hold adult conversations - whether on email, text or in person. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s) down the road. I have a flexible real job so I’m able to work during day. I also have reliable transportation and I’m not a flake who will disappear on you. We have a fenced yard and rooms within the house where we can keep pets separate if that is needed. I am seeking doggy or kitty day care or boarding short or long term stays.

“There are no words to express our gratitude. We are not from the area, were on a weekend getaway and requested pet sitting last minute. Hadassah was very flexible and accommodating. She picked up and dropped off our dog per our requests. She even gave him a bath. Thanks to Hadassah we were able to enjoy our weekend!”

About: I have provided outstanding pet care for over 25 years here in Florida as well as my home state of Maine. I have cared for birds, cats and dogs since I was a small child. I'm currently a dog Mom to a 5 year old miniature poodle. While I am an experienced dog sitter of all sizes, "Gracie" would prefer only small breeds in our home. Your pets needs are our top priority. Frequent potty breaks, meals and playtime are provided frequently. In the event I need to leave for brief periods, I have access to home surveillance on my smartphone. I reside in a safe neighborhood. My home is a one story single family home with a 4 Ft fenced in backyard. Dogs are never outside without supervision. Gracie, my poodle pup, loves chasing sticks and sunbathing. She would love to have a buddy to enjoy her favorite activities with. She loves all dogs but prefers those her own size. Ideally, 10-25 pounds. I utilize Arlo and Wyze, security apps, to monitor safety when I need to be away from home for short periods of time.
