Doggy Day Care in Southside Village, Sarasota, FL

“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

“Teddy had a great time at Merve’s home with her puppy, Thor. Her home is ideal with a fenced area for the dogs to play. She sent pictures which showed the dogs having a great afternoon together. We will book again soon!”

“Delia and her husband are great! They have become family to Lucy dog and I. They take care of Lucy at a moments notice. If I could give her 10 🌟 I would.”

“Lisa and Matt are amazing people! Their love for animals is immense and instantly obvious. They are so warm-hearted, detail oriented, loving, and communicative. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and requires a special regimen of (a lot of) medication. They set alarms to ensure his medication was administered on time, provided updates about his behavior and food/water intake, sent pictures of him, and made us feel so at ease. It is hard to find and trust quality pet sitters in general, but especially when your fur baby has special needs. We would 1000% recommend Lisa and Matt to anyone looking for quality care. Leo can’t wait to go back and spend time with their family and pets 🐾🖤 thank you Lisa and Matt!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand how much they mean to a family. We’ve always had a family dog, our last one passed in 2020 after 16 years of love. I’m experienced with caring for dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies to sweet seniors — and will treat your pet like part of my own family. Reliable, gentle, and attentive, I make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my regular routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a one-year-old, and we both love going on walks and spending time outdoors. Having pets around adds even more joy to our day! Your furry friend will get plenty of attention, love, and fresh air while in our care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can play and explore safely. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure pets are never left unattended. Inside, they’ll have a cozy environment with plenty of love and attention — just like home!

“Christal watched our puppy for our first time away from him and she did an incredible job! She was so accommodating and reassuring. We could tell she gave him much attention and exercise. He was actually excited to see her and sad when he was picked up and had to leave. I would recommend her to anyone! If only we had more than 5 stars!”

“Callie took great care of our special needs pup. Our golden retriever has epilepsy and she was able to administer his medication properly 5 days in a row. She sent updates and was kind to us and our dog. We would definitely book with her again 😊”
