“Cherry loves Angela, and it helps my husband and I have a great vacation to know that our fur baby is well cared for when we’re away. I have used her multiple times, and each experience has been a great one?”
About: i own 3 cats (soon to be 4! 🍀) and i love each of their different personalities. i have been a cat-lover at heart since my first cat Saphie. i’d do anything for them because they are my babies! i’d love to take care of yours as if they were my own. 🤍
“Kaylee did such a fantastic job looking after my cat, Henry. He’s usually wary of new people, but from the photos she sent it looked like they quickly became friends. I would absolutely rebook Kaylee again. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of cats since I was very very little my first cat was when i was about two years old. I've had my first cat for 15 years we were a year apart in age. i currently have a cat named rufus who is 3 years old.
“This was our 2nd time Brittany had taken care of our 4 cats and she has done a great job again! She is very communicative and follows directions well. I can trust my beloved cats in her care. Thank you Brittany!”
“Highly recommend Christa. She had to give an unexpected medication and also adjusted the feeding based on how our cats were eating during the week we booked her. She went out of her way to make sure they were safe and happy and we are looking forward to booking her again.”
About: I have had cats my entire life. As an adult, I adopted Maxine, and the last 10 years have been so wonderful. We are bestie pals, that share a very special bond. I take care of her and love her with my entire being. She even has grown fond of my husband. Maxine and I protect eachother. She is my furry kid that sleeps on the pillow above my head at night and gives me forehead licks when she is ready for breakfast in the morning. I have been a cat pet sitter since I was a kid. I have traveled to different states, to help with my families pets (and also to spend time with family). I, too, am extremely particular about who pet sits for Maxine, when my husband and I travel. So I take the pet sitting task very seriously.
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.
“Tom is amazing. Was watching our pet when we were out of state when Milton hit. He didn't miss a beat, and ensured out cat was great until we could get home. Great communication and care. Thank you, Tom!”
“Ana did and excellent job taking care of my dogs. One is older and with a lot of health problems. She was very patient and knowledgeable caring for her. My other dog tends to be very timid but he warmed right up to her! You can definitely tell that Ana is an animal person. She kept me updated during the stay and when I came home my dogs seemed very happy and content. Ana was punctual and responsive. Would recommend her to anyone!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Punta Gorda
“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.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love being around animals. From a young age, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and present throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m able to accommodate regular routines, feedings, and any special needs, and I’m available for daytime care, drop-ins, and overnight stays depending on your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce new pets slowly and thoughtfully to ensure everyone is comfortable. I closely supervise interactions, follow each pet’s routine, and can crate your dog if needed. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Jennifer was great. Very sweet and gentle girl. First time for our 15 year old dog with a sitter. She kept the pictures and videos coming all day, putting our minds at ease. The location was nice and her home is immaculately clean. We were able to spend a very enjoyable whole day away from our rental.”
“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.”
“Excellent. Teri is a great care giver. Easy transition going in & out. She sent us pictures and updates. Teri is a good person who has rescued 3 dogs previously to give them a loving home. Our world needs more people like her. I will definitely recommend and rebook with Teri.”
“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!”

About: I have provided care to all types of dogs for over 25 years. I also have quite a bit of care to elderly dogs especially those that need medications or assistance. I love walking dogs.

I was able to go for the day and celebrate my birthday with friends and family and feel comfortable with my Macie in her care! I will definitely book with her again!!❤️🐾”
About: I only take in one pet (and siblings) at a time. I think it's less traumatic for the pets if there are not other animals around when they are separated from their family. I do everything that I can to make the experience fun and loving. I love both cats and dogs for different reasons. I’ve had pets my entire life until recently. Since most of my pets died of old age, I am experienced with geriatric pets and their special needs as well. I follow your instructions on pet-care. I've watched many dogs and cats in different homes with completely different schedules and rules. I am an early bird so if you have dogs, I like to walk early before it gets too hot. But again, if your dog is used to sleeping in, I can work with his schedule. I do this for fun as well as extra income. I only take up to two pets at a time and they must be siblings. I may take in a third depending on circumstances. Just ask! I am mostly home with the pets. I even have my groceries delivered! I go the gym most mornings for about 1.5 hours. I started pet-sitting to fill the void after my last pet died. I’ve been pet and house sitting professionally around the world since 2016. I board dogs or cats in my home in Port Charlotte. I love to travel and am open to pet sitting in your home anywhere in the world, as long as it's somewhere I'm interested in. I am always interested in Eagle Rock/Glassell Park, CA, as that's where my son lives. I am an early riser so I like to walk the dogs as the sun is rising and then again at dusk. I have a large fenced-in yard so the dogs have a lot of freedom, but I don't leave them alone outside. I am working on house projects so I am almost always around. I am accepting up to two sibling dogs/cats for boarding in my home. I prefer crate-trained dogs as they feel more secure in their crates and it's less traumatic for them to be left at a stranger's house. I am flexible on this depending on the age of your dogs. Most of the time, they are free. I am finding that most dogs just follow me around since I am actively working on the house. The house is fairly new to me so there are many projects to be done!
“When we met Floyd and Connie for the meet and greet with our Maxi, we could tell Maxi would be in good hands and we were right. Maxi had a great time at doggy day care with them; we could tell from the pics Floyd sent throughout the day. We will definitely be repeat clients.”
