“Catalina was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dog, Banyan! From the start, she showed incredible expertise and genuine care, making sure Banyan was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication is top-notch—she’s always responsive and keeps you in the loop. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable pet caregiver. Banyan adored her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Karen is a very loving and positive person. She was wonderful with my puppy. Finn is a seven month old Alaskan Malamute and very skittish. He was not exactly the right fit for the dogs in her home, but she worked very hard with him to make him as comfortable as possible. It was his first time being in a home with other dogs that he did not know. She was patient and kind and he was anxious, but very happy when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asked me.”

“We had the best experience using Thelma and Gary to care for our two furry children. While visiting FL for 6 weeks, we left them for daycare about a dozen times. Thelma was very attentive to our dog's needs. We always left for the day feeling confident that they were safe and well cared for. The house is immaculate. There is a nice outdoor space for the dogs. In addition to walks, she will often take them to the park for more exercise. My girls were happy and tired at the end of the day. I highly recommend Thelma & Gary, and plan to use them again when I return for my next FL visit.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up with all kinds, from big protective German shepherds, Rottweilers, and Boxers to floppy-eared Beagles, and Basset Hounds. I’ve been around all breeds and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each dog special. I’ve raised three dogs on my own and worked with local trainers from Aloha K9 Training during that time, so I’ve learned a lot about training, structure, and how to build trust with dogs in a positive, fun way. Whether it’s a zoomy-filled puppy or a sweet senior who just wants some company, I’m all about giving each dog the attention, care, and love they deserve. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just hanging out, I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and feeling at home, even while you’re away :) 📆Pet care fits perfectly into my day-to-day life! I work from home full-time, so I’m lucky to have a super flexible schedule with plenty of breaks built in. Perfect for walks, potty breaks, and cuddle time. I spend my days alongside my lovable basset hound Dixie, who keeps me company and makes sure I never miss a chance to get outside and stretch my legs. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets a lot of attention and adjust my routine to fit their needs. Whether it’s a lunchtime walk, some afternoon playtime, or just having a calm presence around the house, I love being able to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! 💕How I care for pets at my home: Your pet gets treated like family! I live on the first floor in a dog-friendly apartment with plenty of walking paths and grassy areas right outside. This makes potty breaks and strolls super convenient. If the owner is comfortable with it, I also have access to the largest fenced in dog park in Sarasota– it’s right in my complex and is usually empty or just has a couple dogs in it, so it’s a great, safe space to run around and play. 🏡The inside of my home is a small but a calm and cozy space where your dog can relax. My pup Dixie is very easy-going and used to having other dogs around. She no longer needs a crate, but I do have a clean, cushioned crate on hand in case your dog prefers or needs one. I’ve also got a few toys, plenty of treats, and of course lots of LOVE to go around! 🚶🏻‍♀️If I’m just popping by your place for walks, I make sure to stick to your dogs normal routine – whether that means a quick potty break or a longer sniff-filled stroll. I’m always gentle, patient, and make sure your pup feels safe and happy. I’ll follow any instructions you leave and give updates so you know how the walk went. Whether it’s once in a while or on a regular schedule, I’m happy to be a reliable part of your dog’s day!

I also provide transportation to the vet and groomer as well as pet errands. Many of my regulars have favorite chairs and toys when they come to stay.

I love it when I hear the owner say their furry one got excited when they turned into my neighborhood or driveway:) I truly love animals with all my heart. We have a Pawsome time! Pet sitting is my career and l am home every day except if l run errands or go to do a pet visit in the neighborhood. We are all together in the family room or outside on the deck during the day and sleep in my room at night. I have toys .balls and stuffed animals to play with and give treats regularly. Some sleep with me while others may like the xoych or chair

They are true dog lovers and went above and beyond taking care of her with treats, walks, brushing her, sending pictures and videos! They made me confident and calm knowing my pup was in great hands!
