“Sadie went to Beth’s house for the weekend! She had fun and gets excited when she goes over there. Sadie & Snickers get along well, Beth is a great sitter, communicates and sends pics during her stay!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“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.”
“She sent lots of pictures and was very accommodating with sh l schedule for pick up and drop off, as well as a meetup to make sure the dogs got along with her dogs. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play outside including a nice shaded area with a koi pond. Thank you for taking care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend.”
“Cindy and Steve were the best hosts we could have asked for our pup. The yard is perfect with lots of room to run around, and we got timely updates on Ruger's status including photos and videos. I would definitely go back to them in future.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Viktoryia and her family provided for our corgi, Emma. From the initial meet and greet, we knew Emma would be in great hands and treated like part of their family. It was wonderful to hear that she got along well with Coco and their daughter. Throughout Emma’s stay, Viktoryia kept us updated with adorable videos showing Emma happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Those updates gave us peace of mind and made our vacation even more enjoyable. Viktoryia is an exceptional sitter, and we would gladly have her watch our Emma again!”
“Nevaeh was great! She was super sweet and accommodating as well as responsive. I got great photos as well as a video of her running around having so much fun. We will definitely be reaching out to her to book again when needed!! Thank you Nevaeh! 🐾”
“James was awesome. He took in our Ellie and treated her as his own!! We relaxed and enjoyed our visit at the beach knowing Ellie was with James and very well taken care of. Lisa E.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Merve and her family, who took incredibly thoughtful care of our Havanese 12 month old pet, Kringle. She sent pictures almost daily, filled us in with updates, and her own little dog, Thor, became his best friend. I wholeheartedly recommend Merve to anyone needing a loving and caring home for temporary pet care. She is the best! PKringle and Thor even have a dog park date planned for later!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“Yeini watched my dogs for the first time. She made sure to update me multiple times through the day. I am super happy with her services. My 2 malteses looked happy when I picked them up!”
“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”
“Lindsay is an awesome dog sitter. I had to leave the state for a couple of weeks and was perfectly comfortable having my “kid” at her house. It’s nice because she works out of her home and do you know about the dog isn’t love for long periods of time. I will definitely use her again !”
“It was nice to know Marshall was spending time with a family he could cuddle with and not just a couple hours in a play yard with other dogs and then back into a stable at a commercial dog boarding facility.”
“Jennifer is lovely and a very caring person for my two young Havanese. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We felt confident leaving them with her. We had a video chat first and met her in person when dropping the dogs off. She showed us around where they would be playing and introduced us to her young daughter. She and the dogs seemed to hit it off.”

“I highly recommend Christina for her exceptional care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. My cat was calm and well cared for when I returned. Everything was neat and orderly in my house. She brought all my mail and packages inside as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Emma did a fantastic job. Totally exceeded my expectations and did everything I asked beforehand. The daily updates she provided assured me that my cats were being taken care of. Not only does she ensure that there is food and water, she makes sure they got enough loving which means the world to me. 10/10”
“Kathy did a wonderful job taking care of our 14 year old cat Latte over a 10 day trip we took in Europe. We appreciated the daily reports and pictures and could tell how good and loving Kathy is with pets. We will definitely take advantage of Kathy’s services again.”
“Carolina once again was a wonderful cat sitter. She provided timely detailed updates and photos after each visit. You can tell she loves animals which is comforting. I’d recommend her highly to anyone!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong cat owner and have experience with a wide range of personalities—from affectionate lap cats to more independent or shy ones. I understand that cats often need time and space to feel comfortable, and I’m always patient and respectful of their boundaries. Whether your cat wants attention or prefers quiet independence, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away.
“Brianna was a godsend. Not only did she accept the booking very last minute, but she also did it during hurricane Debbiy when her own place was flooded. She ended up having to take my furniture off of my balcony and bring it into my apartment and then place it back when all was said and done. The added treat was she brought along the children and it seems like both the kids and my cat benefited from the interaction. Everything that I asked to have done was done and that Left me with no worries. it was also going to be iffy that I would come back as scheduled and she was ready to step in if needed. I would definitely use Brianna again.”
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
“Amber has been so flexible with our crazy last minute schedules. Winston was well taken care of and had a combination of play time and cuddle time. I also appreciate the photo and videos as this is my first day away from my puppy!”

“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”

About: Hi, I’m Nick. I provide structured, dependable pet care built around routine, supervision, and clear communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and personalities, from working dogs like Brittanys and English Labs to rare breeds like the Swedish Vallhound, as well as rescued strays and foster animals. I adjust care based on temperament, energy level, and age, ensuring each pet feels secure and engaged. This range of experience has taught me how to read behavior, manage different energy levels, and maintain a stable environment for dogs that thrive on structure as well as those who simply need consistency and patience. My goal is simple: treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their companions are in good hands. Oh and lots of pictures :) Because I work from home, your pet is rarely left alone. I provide a stable, structured environment with consistent supervision throughout the day, ideal for dogs that thrive on routine and attentive care. Safety and structure come first in my home. I double check gates and entry points before every walk, use secure leashing practices, and maintain a controlled environment to prevent overstimulation. Whether caring for a senior cat or a high-energy retriever, I tailor each pet’s routine to match their age, temperament, and energy level to keep them safe, balanced, and comfortable.

But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.”
About: I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for dogs — from my own family pets to friends’ and neighbors’ pups. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. When my family got a puppy five years ago, I helped with basic training and routines, so I understand the patience and consistency that takes. I’ve also cared for older dogs who needed a little extra attention, including giving medications and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra love and playtime, I make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and loved. I work from home as a graphic designer, which gives me a really flexible schedule. I love taking breaks throughout the day to get outside, enjoy some sunshine, and go for walks — and having a dog along makes it even better! It’s the perfect balance of work and fresh air, and I always make sure each walk or visit fits smoothly into my routine so your pup gets my full attention. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own familiar space. I take time to follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. At home, I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly environment, which means visiting pups can enjoy fresh air and playtime when needed. My priority is always safety, consistency, and making sure every dog feels happy and relaxed.

I recently graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors in animal science. I love giving your furry pets the attention and love they deserve. My main focus right now is school and work which thankfully gives me early mornings and most afternoons off. This allows me to set up a play date or a good sunset run with your furry one. I treat everyone pets if they were my own. I try to provide them with slow and safe care until they feel comfortable enough in the space that they are in. If they have more of an outgoing personality then I will be more than happy to run around with them. I’ll set up plenty of time to play, run, and have fun with your pet. My schedule is always open to new cute furry Friends. I have a fenced yard that will allow your pet to run freely and receive some well deserved vitamin D to enjoy the outdoor fun.

About: Hi! I’m Georgia and I been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a deep passion for helping both dogs and kids. While my professional path led me to work with children, as a school psychologist with Sarasota County Schools, I make it a priority to spend as much time with dogs as possible outside of work. I’ve volunteered with several animal shelters, walking dogs of all sizes (from 6-pound pups to 100-pound gentle giants) and across all life stages, from brand-new puppies to senior dogs. I also have my own mini Goldendoodle named Peach, who I have independently taken care of since I was 18 years old. As mentioned, I am a school psychologist within public schools so I have June and July off! Therefore, my schedule is wide open to care for your pups! I am flexible driving around the Sarasota area to drop-in/walk your animals at any time of day. I am also available on weekends regularly. I am committed to caring for your pup in the place they’re most comfortable- their own home and neighborhood. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including leash preferences, walking routes, routines, feeding or medication needs, and any training cues you use. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am also very attentive to dog body language and behavior, and I tailor each walk or visit to your dog’s individual personality, energy level, and needs. Having a dog of my own, Peach, who is shy around other dogs, has made me especially mindful of reading signs of stress or discomfort, creating positive experiences even if that means going out of the way to avoid others, and advocating for a dog’s space when needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos after each walk or drop-in so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long, active walks or prefers a slower pace with plenty of sniff time, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for them.
About: Been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had cats and digs growing up my entire life! I love to be active and walk and have free time and would love to be around animals I am Flexible all week and weekend when in town. I do travel often. Want to stay busy when I am in town and love animals! I can do whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and crate of my own. I only crate mine now when needed but that is not often as he is older. I only have one of my dogs with me at my home as my other dog is with my mother in my home town.
About: I am very attentive in my care giving. There is nothing more important than a safe, loving, and fun environment for your fur baby! I will be your dogs new best friend! My love for animals began when I was small child. Animals are amazing and bring so much joy to our lives... I want to give some of that joy back! I am looking for a fulfilling career doing what I love most, caring for animals and helping those in need. I am very active and believe in daily regular exercise for myself... so walking your dog will be a breeze - (and an additional calorie burning workout for me as well!!) You and your dog will love the attention and care I have to offer!! I work full time and live close by to my home, so potty breaks won’t be missed. I am available most weekends and holidays. I am open to special requests, should you need an extra day or two. I will ensure a safe place for your fur baby while staying at my home by providing a neat, clean space and lots of attention and love!
“Emily was wonderful‼️ She received the Murphy seal of approval and accordingly to my in laws, our pup was thrilled to see her every time she came. Emily is very professional and warm, on time and dependable. I recommend her to anyone looking for more than a dog walker, she is a true dog lover and we appreciate all of the care she gave to Murphy in our absence. We will hire her again.”
About: As a lifelong pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to hand your dog over to someone else. So I take that seriously. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and currently have a 7yo Cattle Dog mix and a quirky orange cat. I show up on time, follow routines carefully, and make sure every walk feels safe, positive, and fun for your pup. Pet care fits naturally into my week because I’m self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a mom to an almost 4yo, so I prefer to do most walks while she’s at school, but I can usually adjust my schedule when needed. I love staying active, and adding dog walks into my day is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ll care for your pets in your home by following your established routine and any specific instructions you leave. On walks, I keep your dog safely leashed, give them a good mix of structure and sniffing time, and make sure they come home happy and settled.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.
About: Patient and compassionate caretaker of animals of all ages and sizes. Owner of 5 animals who frequently fosters, and feeds animals throughout the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area. As an Orchestral musician, my day time schedule is pretty flexible. Since my job is primarily focused on personal preparation, i can choose when I work. I don't offer services out of my house because my dogs can be a little slow to trust, but have years of experience walking and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes.

“Cindy and Steve were the best hosts we could have asked for our pup. The yard is perfect with lots of room to run around, and we got timely updates on Ruger's status including photos and videos. I would definitely go back to them in future.”
“Nevaeh was great! She was super sweet and accommodating as well as responsive. I got great photos as well as a video of her running around having so much fun. We will definitely be reaching out to her to book again when needed!! Thank you Nevaeh! 🐾”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
About: I am happy to provide a cozy and fun spot for your pup to hang out. My Pit mix and I spend a lot of our time in the garden, pool cage, or acre yard. My Pitty is very friendly, she has been purposefully and extensively socialized so that we can do this work together. The atmosphere here is serene and I’d love to share that with more pups in my neighborhood! Currently I work part-time from home and I’m hoping to supplement some lost income with something I enjoy. That will benefit my pup and my neighbors pups! Since I work from home I can offer my services any day of the week for boarding or sitting. I cannot help but empathize with animals. I love making dogs happy, they are such pure souls. While I make a point to set appropriate boundaries and keep an eye on everybody, I believe in leading with kindness. If you choose to have me stay at your home I am happy to do some cleaning or light chores for you while I am there.
“Lori made me feel so comfortable leaving my Ellie in her care. She sent pictures each day. It was Ellie's first time away from me so I felt guilty leaving her for a week. She was happy to see me and we are back into our old routine now. Lori was wonderful.”
“Stephany did a phenomenal job keeping our French Bulldog. She communicated throughout the day with pictures! She genuinely loves what she does. Highly recommend her. She has heart of gold.”
“I'm so happy we found Antoinette to take care of our pup. She sent photos and videos to let us know everything was going well. She's quick to respond and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. We've already booked another stay!”
“Nicholas was so awesome with my skittish girl. She takes a while to warm up to people but he didn’t give up and gained her trust quickly on our weekend away. He shared so many photos and videos to keep our minds at ease. Great sitter!!!!”
“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!”
“Oh my gosh—our fur babies had an absolute blast! Leslie’s home is honestly more fun than our own 😂. We’ve finally found our pups’ new vacation spot. They always have company, and every animal is treated like one of her own children. We felt completely at ease knowing they were so loved and well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Callie and Corey did an excellent job watching my dog over the weekend, even when it was last minute! They took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and sent updates during her stay. I would definitely use them again in the future”
“Asya and her family did such an outstanding job taking care of my pups. She sent so many great pics and videos and I was so amazed at how my dogs were so integrated into her family. It is clear they were very well cared for. Definitely will use her again!”
“Lucca our 11-year old cavalier has never had a pet sitter that wasn’t immediate family. Kelli offered to meet before our vacation and we were comfortable from then on. She asked extensive questions about his care & handled his somewhat complicated medication and food schedule like a pro. So happy to have found Kelli. She is very trustworthy and gave excellent updates every day. Lucca was so loved while we were gone & his transition back home after 5 days was seamless. I will be contacting her soon to help again. :)”
