“Kathy was so helpful. She came every day to check on our kitty, sent us photos and updated us on everything. We are truly grateful that we found her. Definitely will be booking her when we go out of town again. Thank you so much, Kathy.”
“Kim was perfect taking care of my two cats for a week. I trust her completely and will ask for her services the next time I go away. When I got home I expected my cats to be waiting for me at the door like they usually do when they hear me, but they were so relaxed I had to go find them and wake them up to say hello. She sent me photos or video of them every day which was great. They like Kim a lot too!!!”

About: Over the course of my entire life I've cared for every type of pet you could imagine from reptiles to cats and rabbits. But my specialty is with dogs. Hi there! I'm Bill and I'm excited to offer my services to you. I have open availability and can easily accommodate your scheduling needs at any time. In My Home: When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment. Pets have access to fresh water at all times, regular feeding schedules, and plenty of playtime, walks, and enrichment. I make sure they feel at ease by keeping routines consistent and offering lots of affection and attention. In a Client’s Home: When caring for pets in their own familiar space, I follow the client’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s usual routine. This may include feeding, walking, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and providing companionship. I also ensure the home is secure when I arrive and leave, and I send regular updates so clients know their pets are well cared for while they’re away. The exact level of care depends on the type of service offered—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or full boarding—but in every case, I prioritize the pet’s health, safety, and happiness.
“Annie is wonderful. She not only fed and cared for our cat Misty daily but she was kind enough to bring in our mail and pull the trash cans up from the street. She is very flexible and is willing to help out as needed. We paid her extra to water some outdoor plants, which took almost two hours of her time. I must reiterate, Annie is very willing to help you in anyway she can. We will definitely be contacting her again!”
“11/10 Rebekka did a phenomenal job either my cautious kitty and keeping me awash in photos and notes. I really appreciate the care she showed with my kitty and the home. Will definitely use again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats before. But my favorite experience was when I took care of a pregnant cat and got to see her kittens grow up. I’m a Sarasota native and a full time student at the State College of Florida. Growing up surrounded by a variety of animals- dogs, cats, horses, tortoises, and more- I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of pets. I offer reliable, loving care tailored to each animal’s needs, ensuring they receive the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I will care for your pets by walking them at their own pace and making sure they have plenty of water during the walk. I will also make sure that your pets follow the rules you have for your house during visits and make sure they are having fun.
About: I love walking dogs, and have two Dobermans of my own. I have a lot of experience walking dogs! (I have owned a lab and six Dobermans) so I feel very comfortable with large breeds. I have a very flexible schedule now! That may change as I find more clients but please contact with what you need and I will get back you you ASAP! I don’t offer boarding right now. Does your dog need a run? I’m very happy to jog/run with your dog. Any questions please feel free to reach out!
“Quinn was an exceptional cat and house sitter who truly went above and beyond during her stay. Not only did she provide excellent communication throughout, keeping me fully informed, but she also sent numerous pictures of my cat, ensuring I felt connected and at ease. Her attention to detail was astounding; she even washed my sheets and made my bed before leaving. Quinn's dedication and care are unparalleled. I highly recommend her services to anyone.”
