“Huge thank you to Viktoryia for hosting my anxious little terrier while I was on a business trip. Her dog, Coco, took my dog under her wing. My dog had the run of the house which was wonderful as she insists on snuggling with her humans on couches / beds or wherever they happen to be. Thank you, Viktoryia!”
“Jewell is a true jewel!! My nervous pup flourished with her and her sweet pups. My dog is a singlet and isn’t around dogs a lot !Jewell’s pups welcomed her into their home and became great friends with my pup. I appreciate the socialization she received while staying with Jewell. We will be using her again. She is amazing, her home setup is perfect. Jewell is fantastic for nervous dogs. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“Elisa is amazing. I was so nervous leaving Emjay for so many days and with a stranger to boot. I highly recommend. Super sweet. Clean house. Gated area. Just perfect.”
“Lori has always been so great with Zoey. She’s is up to date with how she’s doing and sending daily photos of Zoey. A quiet, chilled environment which Zoey enjoys :)”
About: I have trained my dogs since I was fourteen and have a love for pets. I don't work and live in a home with a large backyard so your pets will have my full attention. I have two friendly loving dogs I take care of who would love to have extra friends to play with. :) Sorry but no pit bulls or aggressive breeds will be accepted. Thank you for your understanding. I stay at home but of course may go out for groceries or a small amount of time to the gym. My doggies are well taken care of and spoiled and would love some furry friends to play with. My backyard provides a good area for bathroom breaks and is cleaned on a regular basis. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed and are an integral part of my daily life and routine. They are very loved and they know it! :) Bathroom breaks are frequent as I keep an eye on their needs and the water bowls are always clean and available for them.
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“We had our pair of dogs stay with this family and they treated our dogs very nicely. A mature Golden retriever and a young and energetic aussie Sheppard. They exell at comunications, and are willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend.”
“We were nervous about boarding our dog the first time (mainly my wife) and Lisbeth was an absolutely fabulous person to trust our puppy with! She is a professional, caring, and responsible "sitter" and we will be lucky if she is available the next time we need her. Yes this is a lot of praise, but it's for good reason. Thank you!”
“Linda and Brian have the sweetest dog and my dog just loved them all. He normally is very anxious but he even fell asleep beside Brian and his cute new friend Carmi! I would highly recommend this place!”

“Jen was phenomenal! Every interaction was pleasant and professional. I loved her updates and photos of the boys. I really felt like she cared about them as if they were her own.”
“First time with Stormy, and definitely not the last! She was wonderful and very patient with my cat during the 10 days. She kept me updated with feedback and pictures and was always very responsive. Thank you so much, Stormy!”
“Katherine was incredibly sweet and compassionate with my lil dude (cat) who recently lost his bonded mate so he was a little all over the place for their visits, and I just so appreciate her - perfect blend of kindness and expertise. I had to leave unexpectedly and book her last minute for a few days and she really went the extra mile for us, I knew he was in good hands at her first drop-in. Thanks Katherine! 🤍🙌”

About: As a cat owner myself, I know every cat has its own unique personality and boundaries.

Whether it’s providing playtime, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them space when they need it, I’m dedicated to making sure cats feel comfortable and cared for. With my experience, you can have peace of mind knowing your feline friends are in good hands while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Arielle :) I work from Home, we have a single family house with a fenced in yard. I have professional pet sitting experience for a company that services Pinellas County but I moved to Sarasota. Since working for a Professional Pinellas County pet sitting company named Calling All Dogs, I developed a deep love for this type of work and am now available for full time sitting and care as a professional independent contractor. My personal/family experience with dogs and cats has been my entire life. We've had dogs and cats in my family since I was born; basically every member of my extended family even had dogs and cats. Our pack was always consisting of strays and adoptees, some of whom came with medications and emotional issues, and so I am comfortable taking care of pets with medical and psychological conditions. I believe I stand out from other sitters and groomers because I really have a passion to develop a friendship and connection to the pets I care for. I know we as the parents of these guys call upon pet specialists in times of need and I am very happy to give lots of love and comfort to your babies while they are in my care. Communication is very important to me as I know it is crucial to you- I would be the same way and completely understand! So I make it a point to respond to messages or phone calls ASAP. If you have any questions, I'm open! Happy to hear from you! - Arielle :)
About: I specialize in shy, nervous, and sensitive pets who need a little extra patience and understanding. My calm energy helps animals feel safe and open up at their own pace. Even the ones who “don’t like people” usually end up loving me 🐾 I plan my weekly routine around my pet care commitments to ensure reliability and consistency. I’m organized, punctual, and mindful of each pet’s schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or medication. I take this responsibility seriously and make sure every pet receives dependable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, especially those who are shy or sensitive. I’m very attentive, gentle, and communicative, so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is in my care.
“Stephany was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving Franklin with her and she helped me out in a last minute emergency! I would recommend her highly for anyone who needs a loving safe place for their dog!”
“Thank you Audrey and Carson!! I know Mia had the best day (she’s currently out cold on the couch) It was a super last minute reservation and they were more than accommodating and answered very quickly. Thank you too!”
“Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!”
“Alyssa was great and accommodating!! Our pup was so loved and cared for. She helped us out last minute and our buddy said he had a great time☺️would def recommend!”
“Amelia was nothing short of amazing!!! She took great care of my little one. She even sent me pictures of my sweet boy and Lolita. I was late for my pick up time due to traffic and she was very understanding and able to accommodate. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
About: I've owned and trained large and small dogs for more than 20 years. I love meeting and caring for others pets as well as my own! My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate almost all requests! I only work two days of the week in the office and those can be rotated to fit most schedules. I have two pet parks in my neighborhood and a lot of places to walk and play. I do prefer a more quiet and low energy atmosphere to keep pets calm and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of and watched dogs of all ages and sizes. I have trained and raised my own dog of 13 years. I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am currently working full time but I am available most late afternoons and evenings, including the weekend! I am very trustworthy and have excellent time management skills.

“Katherine is very conscientious about communication and promptness. She's cheerful and is very good with my dog Rake. The walks were a great success. Highly recommended.”
About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.
About: With over three decades of pet‑care experience while working in corporate positions, I bring a calm, steady presence to your home. I’ve raised and cared for both dogs and cats — including my Yorkie and British Shorthair — and I understand the unique needs of different ages, personalities, and routines. I’m very observant and proactive, especially with senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I communicate clearly throughout the day, sharing updates so you always feel informed and reassured. Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Currently, working part-time. So, I have plenty of time to fit into your routine. I am able to work between mornings and evenings each day of the week. Mid-day depends on the weekday schedule. I would like to drop-in daily vs. stay over or have your pet at my home. Living in an open concept home that is not big enough for many pets. Currently, the cat tolerates the Yorkie dog, so I like to keep the peace at home.

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life!

I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently a full-time student at Ringling College but with plenty of time for your pets!

About: With over 9 years of pet sitting experience, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds—from Shih Tzus to Pit Bulls—and I’ve been a dedicated animal lover my entire life. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel loved and safe, and I pride myself on being dependable, even on short notice. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or administering medications, I’ve got the skills and commitment to keep your pets happy and healthy. My goal is for you to have peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of no matter where you are. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine since I’m currently in school for medical billing, which gives me a flexible schedule. I can easily balance my studies with part-time pet sitting, making sure I have time to give each pet the attention and care they need. It also helps me stay active and provides a great break from my coursework! When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible to keep the pets comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions like administering medications or adhering to specific care preferences. I’m very respectful of the home, and I always ensure everything is clean and secure before I leave. For pets in my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment, offering plenty of space for relaxation, play, and comfort. I ensure they have access to all their essentials and, most importantly, lots of love and attention!

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.
About: I've had my fair share of childhood pets since I was born, from cats and dogs to reptiles and birds. Every pet I've ever met holds a special place in my heart, and I'm hoping your fur-baby will be next! I work full time, but I have after 2 o'clock off every day, which leaves more than enough time to check on your pets! I've worked with free-roaming dogs, fenced in yards, and crate-trained dogs. Relatives of mine have left the care of their dogs and cats to me more than once. I ensure that dogs are walked at least twice a day, and fed at their regular times.
About: Experienced local pet sitter. I look after two high energy German Shepard dogs regularly and used to have a Yorkie so I know skills to help look after your fur baby! My current schedule availability is fairly flexible if scheduled in advance. I am available Monday- Thursday from 10am-7pm. If you urgently need help outside of these times please reach out and I will try my best to help you out!

“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!”
“Deborah is very attentive and caring. She spends a lot of time at home with the dogs she has and is very good at timely communication. She is pleasant and trustworthy. Thank you.”
“Lori has always been so great with Zoey. She’s is up to date with how she’s doing and sending daily photos of Zoey. A quiet, chilled environment which Zoey enjoys :)”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“We had our pair of dogs stay with this family and they treated our dogs very nicely. A mature Golden retriever and a young and energetic aussie Sheppard. They exell at comunications, and are willing to go the extra mile. Highly recommend.”
“Our boy seemed very happy when we picked him up. Hope sent pictures throughout his stay and kept us updated. We had never left him with anyone besides family and close friends. We will definitely book with Hope again in the future.”
“Donna and Mike are great. They truly love taking care of your furry family members and share videos or pictures while you are away. Our Moxi always comes home tuckered our from playing with other friends while there.”
“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.”
“This was my second time leaving Yogi with Asya. She communicated well, sends awesome photos, and it looks like Yogi has a great time! I will continue to ask them to take care of Yogi when I'm away.”
“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!”
“Tina was amazing! She took expert care of Walter, made sure he got his pills on time and sent tons of updates so we felt like we weren’t missing a thing. Highly recommend! Walter even made a new friend in Tahoe :)”
“Nicholas is very friendly and communicative. He sent regular daily updates via photo and video of my cat. My cat warmed up to the space within a couple days and was way more comfortable there than we would’ve been at a kennel. Highly recommend for a safe and comfortable place for your pet!”
“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!”
“Sarah and her family are the best at their job. I’ve never met more caring people who take the best care of our animals. They have gone way above and beyond and would never board my dog anywhere else.”
