“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”

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.

“Sonja was amazing! She was available last minute on a holiday weekend and did great with making me feel comfortable (it was my first time using this service). She also took time to let my cautious dog warm up, my pets were well taken care of! Will definitely recommend her and be using her again! :)”

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. This summer I will be in a production at the Asolo Repertory Theatre but before that I am looking to spend as much time with pups as I can. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: Since I was 9 I’ve raised and handled all sorts of pets- dogs, cats, budgies, hermit crabs, you name it! I’ve always had a passion for animals, especially dogs, and throughout my life have researched much about their behavior and how to train them. I’ve owned a number of different dog breeds, each with their particular personalities and needs, such as bullmastiffs, German shepherds, labs, and the dog I currently own, my little old Brussels griffon named Willie. I’ve also taken care of cats from a young age, and understand their unique temperament compared to dogs. Currently, I own two cats, Bisa and Alice. Currently, I am on summer vacation, with only one online engineering class. I’ll be in Sarasota until June 21, but before then I can work any time! Days, nights, weekends, no problem. When I’m in my own home, I am very patient with my own pets, watching their behavior to know what they want and what they don’t want, while also keeping them from getting into trouble or hurting themselves. I would treat other pets with this same patience and understanding if I house-sitted. Additionally, I’ve found that a healthy dose of snuggles, treats, and exercise usually helps animals to feel at ease.

About: I bring skills and support beyond the basics. reliable, versatile, and here to make your life easier. Big communicator. Experienced, patient, tolerant and genuinely care. I am currently looking to do this full-time. I am someone who loves helping others in lots of ways. From pet sitting to bartending private events and babysitting or helping around the house, I bring reliability and get it done. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I find myself doing it often by just being asked ! I’m very active and like to frequent the bayfront and other parks in the area. Will keep animal away from others in public but still get outside and exercise.

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.
