About: I've taken care of dogs for the last eight years, including puppies and energetic dogs. I've got lots of toys, treats, and time to give your best friend :) Honestly, I love dogs so much I would do this just for the joy they bring into my life! I'm free all day every day! I just graduated, so my summer break is devoted completely to taking care of your pup. I'm flexible with super early or very late pick ups or drop offs, and I don't mind doing walks or drop ins at any hour! I usually play a lot with the pup, or take it on a walk. I love a good cuddle session, or even just hanging out together on the couch. Personally I feed my dog every morning and evening, and provide plenty of time in our fenced-in backyard to explore and run.
About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working part time and enjoy a flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I am an empty nester with a longtime boyfriend; we have been in Florida for almost two years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.
“Stephany has been coming over for walks with my senior pup for a few weeks now. A couple of the requests were short-notice and she was still able to help. She’s very responsive, gives great reports on how the visit went and always includes lots of pics. Her love for animals is so apparent! Thank you Stephany!!”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have always loved being around them. I’ve helped family and friends with their pets over the years including daily walks, playtime, and feedings. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I currently work part time from home and have a flexible schedule to be able to walk or drop in to check on your pets I will ensure your pets safety by being cautious while walking them and making sure they are safe before leaving your home after drop ins
About: I have various experience with all sorts of animals, including large farm animals. As a current owner of two dogs and one cat, I’m comfortable with them all and want to help your animal feel loved and cared for when you are not able to be there with them. I love getting down on the floor to rub puppy bellies and getting cats to play. I will do my absolute best to make sure your pet(s) are having a great time while you are away and provide them any comfort they may need. From cuddle bugs to loners, I’ve dealt with them all and know how to alter my approach to best suit your fur babies. I guarantee they’ll love me in no time and be beyond excited to see me on my next trip! I’m a server so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in and play with your pets to ensure they are feeling loved while you’re away! By staying in your home, I can make sure that your pets feel safe and at ease, rather than making them come into a new unknown environment.
“Jewell is an amazing dog walker. She arrived early to meet Nauni which was very thoughtful. Nauni was very happy when she returned from her walk with Jewell. I will use Jewell again.”

About: Hire me and your dog won’t be barking up the wrong tree! I’ve adored man’s best friend since I was a small child, and loving and taking care of other’s furry friends since I was 8 years old came easy to me. My years of experience have helped me be equipped at walking, bathing, cleaning up bodily waste, and wiping down dogs after being outside. Does your dog have a hard time not being distracted and pulling you every which way on a walk? No problem! I am capable of being stern and respectful with your companion in order for them not to get hurt by running off or be mischievous toward other individuals. Whether your dog is shy and skittish or disturbs the neighbors by being easily amused and barks when there’s too much excitement, I strive to create a calm and quiet atmosphere to gain their trust and to be respectful of their needs. If they require someone who can match their more bubbly energy, I also am more than happy to comply to this as well. When you’re away, there’s no need to worry since I will give as much affection as your pet desires while also making sure they are well fed and given plenty of water all according to their feeding plan and schedule. It would be my absolute pleasure to treasure your dog by being their pet sitter! I am free for most of the weekday during the mornings (starting at 7:30 AM) and some afternoons and evenings. If you need a carer earlier in the mornings, I will see if I am available to do so. I am currently not working anywhere else and have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I am flexible with keeping your pet wherever you need them inside or around your home. In the yard, a crate, or a room, I will accompany them and keep them in the place they need to be during and after the visit.
About: I specialize in shy, nervous, and sensitive pets who need a little extra patience and understanding. My calm energy helps animals feel safe and open up at their own pace. Even the ones who “don’t like people” usually end up loving me 🐾 I plan my weekly routine around my pet care commitments to ensure reliability and consistency. I’m organized, punctual, and mindful of each pet’s schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or medication. I take this responsibility seriously and make sure every pet receives dependable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, especially those who are shy or sensitive. I’m very attentive, gentle, and communicative, so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is in my care.

“Emily was wonderful‼️ She received the Murphy seal of approval and accordingly to my in laws, our pup was thrilled to see her every time she came. Emily is very professional and warm, on time and dependable. I recommend her to anyone looking for more than a dog walker, she is a true dog lover and we appreciate all of the care she gave to Murphy in our absence. We will hire her again.”

South Gate Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
By far, Penelope’s favorite! Kim was very sweet and communicative, sent me pictures the entire time. It is clear that she really values what she does and goes the extra mile to make sure the pup is happy and the owner has peace of mind. I will continue to book Kim every chance I get!

Such a great first impression! Sofia went above and beyond in more ways than one. We really appreciate the punctuality, clear communication, and pictures of our sweet girl. Gives us lots of joy knowing they could brighten each other's day. Will definitely use her services again!

Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.

She was absolutely amazing with my girl! She went on a nice walk, played with her, and showed so much patience—especially in the beginning when my pup was scared and nervous. She was super professional, kind, and truly caring. I would trust her with any dog. Highly recommend Camilia!
