“This was Holly and Vader’s first experience with overnight care. They stayed with John & Gemma for 5 days. I was provided daily updates while in John & Gemma’s care. I picked up 2 happy and playful dogs, they seemed to have had a great experience.”
“Lorena had taken top tier care of my senior guy Luke and my bernedoodle Noelle. I’m always nervous leaving them but she had provided outstanding updates, communication and over all experience for them and myself 10/10 would recommend!”
“Our sweet girl is not used to not being around us and we do not leave her often. Ania was the perfect person to take care of her!! She understood her little quirks and made her feel at home. I honestly think by the time Chloe left she felt like she was part of the family and she was only there for 3 night! I would choose her again anytime I need someone to look after our sweet girl. I can not thank her enough.”
“Donna was wonderful to work with. She communicated clearly and promptly and we were so comfortable with her home. Her dog Teddy made a wonderful playmate for our miniature poodle Bailey, who returned from her stay happy and exhausted. We highly recommend Donna and are looking forward to using her again.”
“This is Peach’s home away from home! She didn’t want to get in my car when I picked her up and whined half the way home! She loves her substitute family and her best dog friend! They took great care of her during her 10-day stay!”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Their whole family and care given to our dog is top of the line. If you are looking for a family that takes care of your pet like their own, look no further. Thank you so much!”
“Matt and Nicole were AMAZING!! My wife and I were nervous since we've never trusted our pup with anyone other than family. They put our mind at ease with plenty of updates and pictures and even a funny video. They were flexible with the pickup time as our flight came in late and overall made this experience as easy as possible for us. It's good knowing we have someone so close if we need someone to watch our pupwhile we're away. Thank you both!”
“Christopher is calm, caring and patient. Thank you for making sure our boys were safe and happy while we were out. It truly means a lot to not worry about them when having to leave home. Thank you!”
“Excelente, muy amables y atentos. Nos enviaron fotos y videos. Uno de mis 2 pugs es "senior" se esta quedando ciego y ellos cuidaron muy bien de los dos. Muy complacida y repetire sus servicios. Son buenas personas.”
“What a wonderful experience. Garrett is a very caring person with a tender heart for animals. Pink was well cared for and spoiled. We felt very comfortable leaving our pet in Garrett's care.”
“Kathryn did a great job caring for Sage and she kept us informed about what he was doing and how he was adjusting making us very comfortable while we away! Thank you very much!!”
“Gabby and her family took great care of our Stormy. She is very responsive and sends daily updates with pictures. I also love that she only watches one pet at a time which lets me know that my pup is getting the attention and care that she needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Our dog Violet had such a great time with Anna and her family. Communication was excellent and she sent plenty of pictures to make us feel at ease. Her dogs and family treated Violet like their own you can see it by her poses and comfort in the pictures. Highly recommend and will be taking Violet back to Anna for any boarding or care needs.”

“Shayla was amazing with my fur-baby! She followed instructions as directed, communicated daily, provided prompt responses, and arrived on-time for scheduled check-ins and walks.

“We had such a great experience with Emily! Not only did she take wonderful care of our cats, keeping them happy, fed, and cared for, but she also went above and beyond by putting out our trash can, bringing in packages, and helping to troubleshoot issues with our litter robots. We loved seeing the cute photo and video updates of our cats. We really appreciate her care, reliability and flexibility. Highly recommend!”

“Dexter had a great time with Karley and her dogs. I was worried because he was so much bigger than the other dogs, he got along great with them and even made a girlfriend in Karley's dog Chloe. SO cute!”
“Rosie has a great day today. It was her first time away from home for the day so I appreciated the photos, videos, and updates throughout the day. I can tell she had fun playing with the other dogs. The fenced in yard is a real treat since I can't provide that for her and she is not ready to be off leash at a dog park. Can't wait for the longer stay at the end of December, I know she will be in good hands.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs throughout my life, starting with my first dog, Brownie, who was part of my family for 11 wonderful years. That experience taught me how much patience, love, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for a dog. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of walks, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Your dog won’t simply be let out into the backyard and left there, they’ll get dedicated walks, activity, playtime, and attention.

I offer daycare from 9am to 5pm and boarding. Your dog will have time for walks, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than simply being left outside. I work from home, providing constant supervision, daily walks, exercise, playtime with my dog, potty breaks, and care while following your dog’s routine and preferences for comfort

“Natela is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. She's been walking my dog every day over the noon hour, as I am not able to make it home due to work. I come home to a happy puppy each night and I know it's because Natela does such a great job handling her. It's relieving to know that I never have to worry about leaving Natela in charge of watching over my dog and I love the updates and pictures she frequently sends me during their time together. I could tell the very first time that I introduced Natela to my dog that she was going to treat her as if she were her own, which was very comforting to me. I am beyond thankful for the help Natela has been providing me and I look forward to continuing to work with her! ”

My genuine care for animals should give you guilt free feelings when leaving your babies in my care. I currently work from home which makes caring for your pet easier if you choose to bring them here. If not, my hours are 8-5 weekdays but free all day on the weekends. I currently have a pet free home and I also have a fenced yard. Happy to travel and stay at your home if your animal is more comfortable there.
“Leroy and Reina are absolutely amazing! They were so gentle and loving with my fur baby, they even bathed her while we were away. My Noel absolutely loves them, she made new best friends! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone - I will be booking them over and over again!”
About: Hello! My name is Haleigh. ツ As an ice-breaker, let’s introduce my pack! Blu, 7 yr old male Frenchie (35 lbs) Link, 3 yr old male GSD (95 lbs) Chip, 1 yr old male Newfie/Lab Mix (84 lbs) Milo, 6 yr old kitty cat Pickles, kitten (not quite sure how old as we saved her when she decided to run out in front of our car!) Largo, 8 yr old female White Bellied Caique Along with my personal experience with animal care-taking at home, I have volunteered at shelters (SPCA) and have completed an internship as a veterinary technician at a day clinic and emergency clinic. While my career path took another route, I love spending my available time with animals. I have never experienced a home without pets! In addition to care-taking, I have spent my free-time in dog training. My GSD has completed the AKC STAR Puppy and Agility along with his Canine Good Citizen. I truly believe that a dog is the only thing in this world that loves you more than they love themselves. Let’s reciprocate their love with good care. As I know the concerns I face with leaving my own pets, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions and concerns. I am here to love your fur babies as my own! ♡ I currently work full-time from 7 AM-4 PM Monday-Friday remotely and available on the weekends!! Please know that I will accept booking around my full time career schedule. Caring for a pet within someone else’s home is a task that needs to be taken seriously and done with the utmost respect. It is important to treat the property and pets as your own!
“I would definitely recommend Akilah to walk or look over your pup. I have used her services multiple times now. She offered to do a meet and greet with me and my dog before starting services to make sure it was a good fit. Akilah is a dog lover and does a great job at keeping me posted on how my dog did on her walks. She also has a flexible schedule.”

“This is Peach’s home away from home! She didn’t want to get in my car when I picked her up and whined half the way home! She loves her substitute family and her best dog friend! They took great care of her during her 10-day stay!”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Their whole family and care given to our dog is top of the line. If you are looking for a family that takes care of your pet like their own, look no further. Thank you so much!”
“Matt and Nicole were AMAZING!! My wife and I were nervous since we've never trusted our pup with anyone other than family. They put our mind at ease with plenty of updates and pictures and even a funny video. They were flexible with the pickup time as our flight came in late and overall made this experience as easy as possible for us. It's good knowing we have someone so close if we need someone to watch our pupwhile we're away. Thank you both!”
“Christopher is calm, caring and patient. Thank you for making sure our boys were safe and happy while we were out. It truly means a lot to not worry about them when having to leave home. Thank you!”
“Excelente, muy amables y atentos. Nos enviaron fotos y videos. Uno de mis 2 pugs es "senior" se esta quedando ciego y ellos cuidaron muy bien de los dos. Muy complacida y repetire sus servicios. Son buenas personas.”
“What a wonderful experience. Garrett is a very caring person with a tender heart for animals. Pink was well cared for and spoiled. We felt very comfortable leaving our pet in Garrett's care.”
“Kathryn did a great job caring for Sage and she kept us informed about what he was doing and how he was adjusting making us very comfortable while we away! Thank you very much!!”
“Our dog Violet had such a great time with Anna and her family. Communication was excellent and she sent plenty of pictures to make us feel at ease. Her dogs and family treated Violet like their own you can see it by her poses and comfort in the pictures. Highly recommend and will be taking Violet back to Anna for any boarding or care needs.”
“Yaima and her family took good care of my pup. We had a meet and greet before his stay and my pup was immediately comfortable with Yaima. They have a large backyard that is fenced for the dogs to play. Yaima sent pictures to show me that our pup was adjusting well. He even turned belly up to get some good belly rubs. I recommend Yaima for boarding needs.”
“Highly recommend! From setting up a meet and greet before we left to sending pictures and updates while we were gone. It was such a relief while we were out of state to know our babies were being loved and taken care of.”
“Chelsea spoiled our pup! He came home happy and well taken care of. She has adorable frenchies that got along well with ours and kept him entertained. We will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Chelsea!”
