“My dog is super high anxiety and he was so calm around Lisbeth on the scariest day of the year (4th of July). Normally we can’t leave Richie home alone because of his separation anxiety but with it being the 4th of July, he definitely couldn’t be alone as he is terrified of fireworks. Lisbeth was great and has such a calming energy about her that she was able to keep Richie chill all night long. I would recommend her to literally anyone. She’s great with animals; they just love her and you can tell and she loves them too!!”
“I am so grateful to have Eve caring for my dog! Bruce is very wary of new people but Eve is consistently patient and welcoming until he gives in and snuggles up to her. :) I know Eve will keep him safe and well-cared for. She is reliable, friendly, takes one dog at a time and works at home, so your dog will have company when they want it.”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth B. have been sitting for our Yorker mix for several years! I can’t say enough good things about their loving care they consistently provide for him!! They are very attentive to his routine, medications, and diet. They are great communicators and send frequent photos and videos when we are gone for vacations. It is such a relief to not worry about our special little one! Plus he is always so super excited every time he sees them ! I highly recommend Stephanie and Elizabeth for your precious pets care☺️”
“Betsy was amazing with our dog, Bogey! She took such great care of him while we were away and kept us updated, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals- Bogey was happy and well cared for. We’ll definitely be using her again! Thank you Betsy❤️”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”

“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”

“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided.

We would love to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From iguanas and hamsters to cats and dogs, I’ve cared for just about every kind of furry, scaled, and whiskered companion along the way 🐾 I’ve especially spent most of my life caring for dogs, so understanding their personalities, routines, and needs comes naturally to me. I currently have a 14 year old dog who is truly my pride and joy, and caring for her has only deepened my love and patience for animals. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same attention, affection, and care I give my own. Your pets won’t just be looked after, they’ll be genuinely loved 🤍
“Bailey was a WONDERFUL cat sitter. She checked up on my two cats once a day, feeding them, filling their water bowl, cleaning the litter, and giving my one friendly cat lots of love. I asked if she would send a picture of them each day so I wouldn't worry as much about them. She went above and beyond, sending 8 or 9 pictures and videos each day and also sending full reports on how they were doing. I get very anxious when I'm away from the kitties, and her detailed updates made me feel so much better about being away for the holidays.”
“As always, Kim takes such good care of my cats while I’m gone! They’re always happy and well adjusted when I come home, and she goes above and beyond to always make sure they have everything they need, She’s also kind enough to bring in any mail and packages I have.”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for over 18 years and love caring for pets of all ages. I currently have two of my own, including a tiny 3-month-old Chihuahua, so I’m very used to puppy schedules, potty breaks, and routines. I work from home, which lets me give attention throughout the day, whether I’m hosting pets in my home or staying in yours. I follow each pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable, and I send updates so you always feel connected. Travel fee: If your location is 8 miles or more away, I charge a small $8 travel fee. I always confirm before adding it. I work from home, so I’m always around and able to give attention throughout the day. I take natural breaks for walks, potty time, and play, and my afternoons and weekends are usually open which makes scheduling easy. I have a fenced yard and a calm home where dogs can feel safe and relaxed. When I care for pets in their own home, I treat the space with respect and follow their routine so nothing feels unfamiliar. I pay close attention to gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and comfort items, and I always check in with updates so you feel comfortable and at ease.
“Jada is truly a pet professional! She has a heart for animals and that becomes obvious when you and your pet meet her. She took great care of my cats while I traveled and sent me pics/videos to assure me how happy they were. I recommend Jada very highly to responsibly care for your furry friends.”

“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
“Fantastic dog care Very impressed with how Janette handles dogs It was our first time and Griffin was relaxed and peaceful when I picked him up, which is unusual using a first time sitter I highly recommend her, but not so much that I can’t find space to use her again!!! 5+ stars”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Gina was amazing with my pup nova. Her home was so cozy and clean. She was so well taken care of and had plenty of toys to play with. Her doodles were also the best companion for my nova to play with. Definitely will book with again!”
“Betsy watched our dog, who has separation anxiety, so we could attend a baby shower. Since we don’t live in the area, we really appreciated how accommodating and responsive she was throughout the whole process. When we picked our dog up, she was very calm and comfortable, which gave us great peace of mind. Betsy is very sweet and attentive, we would definitely recommend her!”
“Michelle watched our dog Kona over 4 days while we were in Bradenton on spring break. We appreciated her flexible schedule and all the pics she sent each day which showed our Kona was in good spirits and great care! Super easy drop off and pick ups. Michelle is so nice and friendly. We are so grateful she was available for us. Highly recommend!!”
“Kym and Glen have been wonderful caring for my dog during my long work hours! It’s clear they truly love animals, and my dog is always excited to see them. They provide a safe, fun environment and keep me updated with photos and messages throughout the day. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands. I highly recommend Them for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.

I work from home with a flexible schedule—so your pup will receive constant, attentive care throughout the day. I can board up to two dogs at a time from the same family.

I live alone—with no pets of my own—and I will be the only human in the home while your dog is staying with me. Your specific directions will be followed to the tee at all times: preferences, exercise, play time, bed time, food, treats, medicine & love.

About: I'm an Arkansas native, raised on a farm with 5 dogs, 5 cats, and lots of other farm animals! Recently, my biggest source of pet care experience is raising and caring for my pit bull, Odin, over the last 6 years. He's my best friend and honestly my whole world! Through caring for him every day, I've learned how important patience, consistency, exercise, affection, and routine are for a happy pet. I've also occasionally looked after the pets of friends and family, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship when they've needed an extra hand. I've always loved animals and tend to connect with them quickly. Whether your pet wants to play, go for walks, or just have a calm companion around, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I recently moved to Florida from Arkansas and am excited to meet pets and pet owners in my new community. Right now, pet sitting is my primary focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and am available for daytime, evening, weekday, and weekend bookings. As I settle into the area and eventually take on other work, my availability may become more limited, but for now I'm happy to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. Every pet is different, so I always try to follow the owner's routine and preferences as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, and any care you've requested. For dogs, I can provide walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship. I'm patient, attentive, and always pay close attention to a pet's comfort level and body language. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you're away.
About: I’ve grown up with animals. I worked five years professionally with dogs and cats. Special skills do include administering medication. I own a senior dog named Benji. I currently work full time, but I’m available all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Monday and Thursday I’m available until 5pm. Just let me know where I’m needed and I can work things out. 🐾🐾 I will treat your home with respect, give the best care to your pet, and treat them like they are my own. Every animal deserves attention and care.
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals, from chickens to cows, to bunnies, dogs, and chinchillas. I love them! I’m home every day and have plenty of time to spend with your babies. I am in my second year of medical school at LECOM Bradenton. I am home during the day when I am not in class, and love walks to exercise (having your pup would be a plus!) I like to walk 3-6 miles a day but will adjust to your needs. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. I love walking around the neighborhood. I enjoy playing frisbee and tug of war - with lots of experience.
About: I have had and sat for dogs of all sizes, from 6 pounds to 100 pounds. I sit for my mother’s coworkers up to two weeks at a time. I can stay or come by to visit for the day. I am a full time student, I am available to come by before or after classes. This also means I am open over the weekends, my only other commitment is children’s soccer on Saturday mornings. As a medical student I study for up to 10 hours a day making pet sitting perfect for me. I can hang out with them and do multiple feedings and potty breaks through the day. We can do walks as well! I have my own car as well.

“I am so grateful to have Eve caring for my dog! Bruce is very wary of new people but Eve is consistently patient and welcoming until he gives in and snuggles up to her. :) I know Eve will keep him safe and well-cared for. She is reliable, friendly, takes one dog at a time and works at home, so your dog will have company when they want it.”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”
“Michelle was great! From her communication and photos I could see my dogs felt right at home. She lives close by so drop off and pick up a breeze. Hope to bring my pups back soon. Thank you Michelle.”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
“Amanda and her family took excellent care of our sweet Charlie! Daily she sent updates, pics and even a video of him playing! Excellent communication throughout ! Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was wonderful!! She took such amazing care of our dog and gave him so much love! We appreciated the pictures and updates. We will definitely be bringing him back!”
“He has experience in taking care of a high energy dog, at first I was cautious as I dont know how yoki will be with kids 10 under, but he did ok. Jarrad was trying to figure out how to work the apps but eventually was able to send photos. Will see him next time!”
“She was willing and happy to take in our pups while still recovering from the hurricane! Thank you again so much for taking such good care of my babies.”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for several years and truly understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. As a pet owner myself, I have hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I have real-life experience caring for my own animals and helping friends and family with theirs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for pets of different temperaments — from energetic pups to independent or shy cats. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I currently work part-time and create my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, including afternoons and evenings. Because of my flexible schedule, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard with grass for safe outdoor play and live within walking distance of a dog park for extra exercise (with owner approval). Inside my home, pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment. I can easily follow specific feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, or litter box preferences. For cats, I ensure litter boxes stay clean, provide enrichment and playtime, and respect their space if they prefer quiet companionship. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
“Excellent!! Charlie and Lisa were flexible and were easy to work with around our schedule. They took careful care of our 12-year-old Parson Russell Terrier. We highly recommend their services, and we will schedule their care for our next visit to the Bradenton area.”
“Lori is amazing! Our dog was so nervous and scared coming to a new place. Lori took her time to get to know our dog and it didn’t take very long before our dog was enjoying Lori’s home and hanging with another furry friend. Thank you Lori!”
About: Your dog deserves more than a typical boarding experience—they deserve a calm, loving home where they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. With over 22 years of hands-on experience, I provide a private, cage-free environment designed for comfort, attention, and peace of mind. I intentionally keep my care more personal and intimate, so each dog receives the time, affection, and supervision they deserve—something I felt was missing in many traditional facilities. Your dog will live as part of my home, not in kennels or behind closed doors. I’m with them 24/7, offering constant care, companionship, and a peaceful routine. My space is designed so dogs always feel included, even if brief separation is needed, using open, visible areas rather than isolation. I also have a large, securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and relaxation. I am CPR certified and experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, so you can feel completely confident in your dog’s health and safety. While you’re away, I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is not only safe—but genuinely happy, comfortable, and loved. My goal is simple: to give you the feeling that you never truly left your dog behind. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit into my day—it is my day. I keep a small group so I can give each dog my full attention, carefully observing their behavior and well-being. This allows me to notice even subtle changes and respond quickly, keeping you informed and your dog safe, comfortable, and truly cared for at all times. In my home, dogs are never just watched—they’re truly cared for. I stay closely attuned to their needs, whether it’s noticing when they want to go outside, play in the yard, rest, or simply need comfort. I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, secure environment throughout their stay.
“I recommend her 100%! She took care of Oviler with so much love and passion. Oliver was happy with her and she sent me pictures and updates frequently. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Mikayla is wonderful! She’s so good with all pets, she just gets them. She cared for our 6 month old puppy and 1 1/2 year old and they were so happy. Great space to play and her dogs were kind and loving. We received photos and updates that allowed us to know all was well. Mikayla communicated beautifully when we reached out in need and was accommodating to our flight schedules. It’s comforting to have found her and we will certainly reach out again. Thank you, Mikayla and family!”
“Stacia and her family were so sweet! Ghost was so well taken care of. I was constantly getting funny and cute pictures of my baby, Our dogs got along so well! Ghost will miss you guys! Can’t wait to book again🥰”
