“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
“Taylor was amazing! She was in constant communication with me and sent me daily updates and pictures. Taylor and her family were very sweet and loving and made my dog feel right at home!”
“Dana accepted our request within a week of the stay, so we were so thankful she could fit us in last minute. Our cat is very nervous around new people and hides the first couple days but Dana let us know that she came out to eat and sit near her which doesn’t happen everytime. We felt a good energy the moment we met Dana and felt comfortable leaving our baby there with her. She sent us photos and words each day of the stay, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out again if needed. Thank you so much Dana!!!!”

“Jennifer was amazing…she communicated constantly with me and sent pictures and videos of my snowball…Snowball loved Jennifer and we will definitely rebook for future needs, thank you so much ☺️”
“Robin is an absolute angel! She watched our dog Buddy for 10 days, and was amazing with him. Buddy is a rescue and a very nervous little guy, so Robin had us bring him over for short little stays with her prior to our vacation, so that Buddy could get adjusted to us leaving him for a period of time. She truly cares about the pets she watches, and I felt like she cared for Buddy as if he were her own. Robin kept us updated on how he was doing, and included photos. We missed Buddy terribly while we were away, but we knew he was in safe, capable, and loving hands. I would recommend Robin to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would not hesitate to book with her again. Five stars is not enough! :)”

In the middle of this I told her to just feed her some chicken. Monica insisted on finding the right food for Lucy. She was truly concerned about our dogs well being. I so appreciate her! ❤️”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention our little dachshund was given during her stay with Ana. Every day Ana sent an update with pictures. I would highly recommend Ana to care for your pet.”
“Krista was the perfect person to care for Amy. She made Amy feel right at home. We were sent pictures and updates daily. I never worried a minute while she was in Krista's care. We will definitely use Krista again without hesitation.”
“Olga is the BEST! My dogs feel she is their 2nd family and rush to her door every time they are dropped off to her. I always have peace of mind going away when they are in her care,”
“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”

About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and understand that each one has their own personality, preferences, and comfort level. I have experience with cats of all ages, from playful kittens to senior cats who need a slower pace and extra attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to handle feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship while they’re away. I’m especially mindful of shy or independent cats and take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers quiet companionship, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment. I also provide consistent updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is in good hands.

“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
“Miranda was wonderful to work with! She took great interest in our dog; gave walks, playtime and cuddles. She has a clean safe home with a nice fenced in yard. Provided pictures and was quick to respond to any outreaches and was very accommodating. We would absolutely work with her again when in the area. Highly recommend!”
“Bryanna took wonderful care of Gilda, my 10 month old English Cocker Spaniel, for two days this week. Bryanna communicated extremely well. She provides secure indoor and outdoor space, and lots of play activities. After the first day, Gilda was extremely eager to return to Bryanna’s care for the second day. And, after the second day, Gilda was exhausted from 2 straight days of play and activities. I will book again with Bryanna, and recommend that you book with her too. Have fun in Punta Gorda, while knowing your precious fur baby is being well cared for by Bryanna.”
“Absolutely amazing! Nice set up for the dogs, clean and cool. Very accommodating, I would highly recommend Erica for your dog sitting needs, no worrying about your dog in her care.”

I have a small part of my yard fenced but there’s plenty of space for your pets to run around. I have a 4 chickens that roam around but I will lock them up if needed and I have a small senior dog.
“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”

I can’t wait to meet my next friend! As a student pilot my days consist of training and studies, can provide care at all hours of the day. Can work weekends, and around job times. Very flexible.
