“This was our first time using Alicia and our 11 year old dog had previously been going to another lady for several years. His first night with Alicia he was a little sad and unsure but he acclimated quickly. Alicia was very responsive to us when we reached out and made him feel safe and secure.”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life! I’ve been a reliable dog owner and watcher for friends, family and neighbors for years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and personalities ranging from Shih Tzu to Husky to Doodle to Aussie. I currently stay at home and am able to provide a lot of undivided attention, walks, and love for your fur baby! My schedule is flexible and I am able to board and watch your pups as needed. I have a shy mini Aussie (7) that is able to freely roam our home and will keep your pup company! Our yard is not fenced, but we are able to go on multiple walks a day if needed and enjoy our community dog park to get extra wiggles out.
“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”
“Joan took great care of our Oliver. It was his first time having to stay away from the family and she made him feel comfortable. We loved getting all of the photos of our little guy while he was staying with her. We will contact Joan the next time we take a trip that isn't puppy friendly :)”
“Nicholas and his family took great care of Suzy! They sent frequent updates and pictures and gave us peace of mind she was safe and happy while we were away. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“Second time we’ve used Jessica! Drop off and pick up are very streamlined. Our pup was obviously well cared for, and we’re glad to have a sitter we like enough to use repeatedly.”
“Fran is my go to cat sitter and every experience has been great. She is reliable, trustworthy and incredible caring. I never worry when I’m away because I know she will take great care of Carlisle.From feeding to administering medication Fran handles everything with ease and professionalism. I can’t recommend her enough : )”
“Thelma is a very caring person and takes such great care of our Schnoodles! I highly recommend her. I never have to worry and know that my pups are in a loving home while I’m away.”
“Nancy made our little one feel right at home. Her place is quiet and cozy. Since she only sits one dog at a time, we knew our anxious doggo would be perfectly happy staying with her. She sent us pictures and videos of Koah as well which made us feel comfortable leaving him for the long weekend. We will definitely work with Nancy again!”
“Calvin & Ella and their kids took such amazing care of Moose while we were away. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving hands. They sent so many photos and videos throughout the stay, which meant we always knew how he was doing and could see how happy and comfortable he was. Their communication was excellent, thoughtful, and consistent, and it was clear how much they truly cared about Moose. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Calvin & Ella again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care!”

“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“Lisbeth is amazing! She took care of my two elderly cats-one of which is insulin dependent- neither of them have ever been boarded before. They took to her quickly and without issues. She made sure to give us daily updates and pictures too. We will be bringing them back to her in the future when needed.”

“We are very happy to have found Dylan on Rover! He was everything and more with our cat Bailey. He was caring and cognizant of her new experience of her parents being away. He took great care of Bailey, not to mention his detailed communications and timely responses. He made our trip away successful because he cared for Bailey as if she were his cat. We plan on using Dylan more in the near future, because we know Bailey will be in great hands. Thank you, Dylan! Carlos & Eve”

I’m confident we picked the right person and we’ll definitely recommend Jasmine as a top notch caretaker.”

“Emily is absolutely amazing, I had to find care for my kitty last minute and Emily was more than happy to help on such short notice. She made time for a meet and greet before I left and is extremely friendly and very genuine.

It’s hard to leave your fur babies alone and I highly recommend Emily to anyone that’s needing someone they can trust and feel safe with”

“Joan was wonderful with our dog Bliss. She made sure she took a walk, gave her treats and belly rubs and was in contact with us throughout the entire day. She sent sweet photos that put our minds at ease and helped us to enjoy our day knowing our sweet girl was being cared for.”
About: My wife, Ella and I homeschool our 4 kids and I work from home. We all absolutely LOVE dogs, but due to allergies, we only take non-shedding dogs (doodle mixes, hypoallergenic breeds etc)... We have a friendly, couch-potato bernedoodle that would love to play with your dog, and our kids spend their free time loving and playing with dogs. If you want your pet to have fully supervised fun, be loved to bits and sleep soundly, this is the place to be :) We have a reverse osmosis water system installed in our home so our furry guests receive crystal clear, healthy, delicious drinking water! I work from home and my wife homeschools our children (ages 6-14). We are both home full time and have very flexible schedules. Our Bernedoodle is docile and very friendly. We live in a family friendly neighborhood, great for walks and we have a half an acre for our dog and kids to run and play. We have a large screened in lanai and a huge backyard. Living at the end of a cul-de-sac street, we rarely have vehicles go by.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup.

I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.

About: I’ve trained and cared for my own dogs and cats for many years. I enjoy relating to each dog or cat to meet their needs (which is why I like to meet owners and pets before the engagement to ensure we connect). I also have experience training & caring for dogs & cats at a Lakewood Ranch “No Kill” shelter prior to the pet’s adoption. Walking and sitting dogs and cats allows me to have fun with your pet but allows my family the flexibility to travel in between engagements. I always view time spent with a dog or cat as an opportunity to care and relate to your pet to continue whatever program or behaviors you want to encourage. It’s important to understand a dog or cat’s nature and their natural behaviors of the pet.

This included over night stays, administering medications and food, potty breaks, and walks! I absolutely adore dogs and their different personalities. I I adopted a Jack Russel Mix that is now about a year old. She is my best friend. I would love to put my love for dogs towards any pups that might need some care while their parents are out and about. I recently just graduated from college and am starting a Master’s program shortly. I am free mornings and afternoons for drop-in visits and walks for your pup. I can easily walk dogs on a in a designated area or let them roam in a fenced backyard. I can crate them/make sure they are safe and secure before I leave.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with a lifetime of experience around pets. I’ve been taking care of animals since I got my dog in middle school and have been taking care of other people’s dogs ever since I could start driving! Also, for the past year I’ve regularly dog sat for a police officer and her retired senior K-9, building trust and consistency with both owner and pup. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable, whether it’s during a walk or while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.

For house sitting, I maintain your pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free, and I treat your home with the same respect and care as my own.
“Patti was wonderful with my pup. He's often skittish around new people as we suspect he was abused before we adopted him but he warmed right up to Patti and was giving her kisses by the end of the visit. Patti was professional, kind, and patient with Nova and I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy, experienced animal sitter.”
“Ellen is great! Super conscience and thoughtful- she comes prepared with her own poop bags, a portable water bowl and bottled water for a break for the pups in this FL heat. Much appreciated. Ellen filled in while our regular walker was unavailable this past week and both my labs loved her and enjoyed their morning walks with her. I will definitely reach out to her again if I need a walker and highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: My family has never been without a dog since I’ve been born! I have been trusted to look after and play with my dogs and my friends/neighbors pets since I’ve been 12 years old, and now I’m doing it professionally. I have always loved animals (I’m also vegan) and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pets personality! I firmly believe there’s no such thing as too many photos of a pet ❤️ I’m currently working part time as a pickleball coach during the day and as a bartender at night (never longer than a 5 hour shift)! My pickleball schedule differs week to week, but when I have enough notice I can schedule my lessons around my pet care. I’m never on the court for longer than 3 hours. Any moment I’m not at work will be spent with your pup! I have experience taking my own dogs to a trainer and I’m very comfortable with crating your dog if needed, going through exercises together and going on walks. I love to take them for walks and play with them if they get the zoomies inside! I always keep them on a leash not only for their safety, but for everyone else’s.

I provide patient, attentive care and I treat every dog as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently in college at SCF while being a senior in high school. My classes are 7-10:50am Mon-Thurs. I also play lacrosse for my high school with practices 7-8:30 pm. I am available before, after and in between school and practice. I love playing with my dog anytime of the day to the point I get in trouble for playing with her😂.

As a proud pet parent to two cats, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. I’m the kind of sitter who notices the little things; like when a pup seems a little more tired than usual or when your cat’s whiskers twitch just before they pounce. Whether your pet is shy and needs a gentle presence or full of energy and ready to play, I adjust my care to meet their needs and personality. With years of hands on experience and a true love for animals, I make sure every visit or walk is safe, engaging, and stress free for your pet (and for you!). From belly rubs and fetch to quiet cuddle time and careful medication routines, I’ve got it covered. Let’s set up a meet & greet, I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can help!

My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress free while you’re away.
About: I walk dogs, cat sit, and house sit around my neighborhood and it’s my favorite part of my week. I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.
About: I am currently not working and available anytime. I have a small 10 yo Pomeranian and he is my soul mate. I have a large 7 yo Australian Shepherd as well and he is the perfect baby. He loves other dogs and needs more play times! I have a large house with an extra bedroom for the dogs to stay in. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. My pups and I love going to dog parks, and going on walks, so we would love to have another pup to come as well! I would love to help watch your loved furry family member! If you are away for the weekend I can watch your pet or if you leave during the week I can check them on them while you’re out.. Please message me with any questions you may have! I’m available any day or time. I don’t currently work but looking for more to do around the area and I love animals so this is perfect! Available for any type of care, in home, walks, drop ins, boardings, I live in Parrish area and excited for the opportunities to be with your pets!

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life! I’ve been a reliable dog owner and watcher for friends, family and neighbors for years. I have experience with a lot of different breeds and personalities ranging from Shih Tzu to Husky to Doodle to Aussie. I currently stay at home and am able to provide a lot of undivided attention, walks, and love for your fur baby! My schedule is flexible and I am able to board and watch your pups as needed. I have a shy mini Aussie (7) that is able to freely roam our home and will keep your pup company! Our yard is not fenced, but we are able to go on multiple walks a day if needed and enjoy our community dog park to get extra wiggles out.
“Love Kendal and Dre! They took such amazing care of my pup while we were on vacation. They were so communicative and sent so many pictures and updates. I can tell he had an amazing time, an probably didn’t want to leave when we picked him up :) Amazing couple and we will definitely use them again!”
“Joan took great care of our Oliver. It was his first time having to stay away from the family and she made him feel comfortable. We loved getting all of the photos of our little guy while he was staying with her. We will contact Joan the next time we take a trip that isn't puppy friendly :)”
“Robert and Topher took great care of our dog, and even sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely book with them again in the future and have already recommended them to friends.”
“Nicholas and his family took great care of Suzy! They sent frequent updates and pictures and gave us peace of mind she was safe and happy while we were away. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
“Our dog had such a wonderful stay with Lori!! She did an awesome job communicating and sending pictures during his stay which alleviated a lot of my anxiety about leaving him with someone new. Thank you Lori and Jim for making Toby feel at home!”
“We love Candice! Our girl is always so happy when she stays with her. Candice is wonderful with her and keeps us updated with messages and pictures/videos during the stay.”
“Super awesome family, they loved Luna and took amazing care of her. Loved all the update pictures they send. Really appreciate the flexibility and fast booking. Your family and pups ate amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Second time we’ve used Jessica! Drop off and pick up are very streamlined. Our pup was obviously well cared for, and we’re glad to have a sitter we like enough to use repeatedly.”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”
“Hope and her husband are awesome! You can tell they are dog lovers! I first took Samba for a meet and greet and her puppies are sweet and well behaved. During Samba’s stay, Hope sent many pictures and kept me updated. I am sure Samba had a great time! Thank you Hope! I will definitely book again!”
“Calvin & Ella and their kids took such amazing care of Moose while we were away. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in loving hands. They sent so many photos and videos throughout the stay, which meant we always knew how he was doing and could see how happy and comfortable he was. Their communication was excellent, thoughtful, and consistent, and it was clear how much they truly cared about Moose. We came home to a very happy pup and couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Calvin & Ella again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and attentive pet care!”
“Karlee did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dogs, Atlas and Jaxon, this weekend. Atlas can be a bit of a difficult dog at times, but she handled him with so much patience, confidence, and care, it truly put me at ease. She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant a lot and helped me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while they were with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, especially when one can be a little more challenging, but Karlee exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m so grateful for the attention and care she gave them, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Carla was amazing with our puppy Evie. She kept us updated daily on how Evie was, such as bonding with her, Charlie and the other dog in boarding and how she was adjusting. The adjusting and bonding were a concern for us as Evie is shy and still coming out of her shell. The updates put our mind at ease. We really appreciated the photos and videos. Our Evie wasn't eating much and Carla knew how to get Evie to eat more. The house set-up was great with a good sized backyard to play in. I'd recommend her to anyone and we'll be a repeat customer.”
