“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!”
“Viktoryia was a pleasure to talk to and her whole family definitely loves and cares for dogs. Her place is amazing and the dogs absolutely couldn’t get enough of their little adventure. We picked our pups up clean and happy, you could tell they had a lot of fun! I would recommend everyone to reach out as we were worried about our boys but she kept us informed and confident the entire time we were away!”
“Just the best! Howie stayed with Jeff and Beth while we were on vacation in Europe for two weeks. They took excellent care of him and sent us pictures daily. We would hundred percent recommend them!”

I never worry when I’m away because I know she will take great care of Carlisle.From feeding to administering medication Fran handles everything with ease and professionalism. I can’t recommend her enough : )”
“Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one. She provide Rex his own space so that he could have quiet and solitude when needed, but also ample play and outdoor time. Rex left a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Nick was an amazing host to scout for 10 days. This was my first time boarding a dog so I was not sure what to expect, but Nick went above and beyond to keep me at ease while I was out of the country by sending multiple photo/video updates every day and notes about scouts behavior and integration with the other animals.”
“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!!”
“We are so pleased with our experience with Nathalie. It’s obvious she loves dogs; she greeted our Murphy with a big hug. She was familiar with looking after young puppies and had all the patience in the world with our dog. She sent us photos of Murphy playing and having fun everyday. This was the first time we used her and we’ll definitely trust our Murphy with her again.”
“Sierra is excellent. She's professional and accommodating. She loves animals and will take great care of your pet. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Her and her family took amazing care of my girls. She kept me updated daily and even sent me pictures of all the adventures they had. My dogs are my only family and finding someone to care for them in my absence is very stressful. Elisa took all the stress away and showed my girls all the love I would have. Would 1000% recommend to anyone that is looking for a loving home for their fur babies. Thank you Elisa! I will be booking again soon”
“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.”

“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”

About: In regards to my experience with personal pet care. From a young age, I have raised and help nurture animals in all stages of their life. Along with dogs I have provided care for other animals such as: Cats, Fish, and Horses of various shapes and sizes. LGBTQIA friendly 💖🏳️🌈 I am currently a Freelance Character Designer and Illustrator, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Let me know what's up and I'll probably be down. I care for your pets as if they were my own. Your pets wellbeing and comfort is a top priority! Also I maintain and keep schedules and plans in place for your pet; along with monitoring health, behavior and notifying pet parents of any change that arises while in my care. I want to be 100% transparent with everything that goes on in your absence to keep you at a peace of mind.
“Caroline was amazing. We received wonderful twice/daily updates on our cat with pictures and written reports. He is a sensitive guy and we really felt like he was in great hands during our week away. Upon coming home he was relaxed and happy 😊 …a sign that he was very well taken care of. Thank you Caroline! We can’t wait for you to come again.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life, and i naturally have very calm energy for cats who don’t trust just anyone 🤍 I absolutely love cats and would be honored to take care of your baby!
“This was the first time I used Sky to house and cat sit for me and I am very pleased. First of all, she came to my house to meet us and to discuss my cat's daily routine. She was very professional and attentive, and also gentle when approaching my cat. While I was away, Sky sent me a photo of my cat every day, along with a description of what they did that day, both of which I really appreciated. When I came home, I found everything very clean and in good order, including the litterbox and all of her dishes washed and ready for use. My bed was also freshly made, another very kind thing to do for me! I highly recommend using Sky as a pet sitter and a house sitter, you will be happy you did!”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”
“Sierra did a phenomenal job taking care of our cat. We booked Sierra last minute because my other sitter couldn’t do it and she replied almost immediately. Her darling daughter also helped with petting and caring for our cat. 2 for 1 service! Would definitely use her again.”
“Great sitter!! Pleasant. Communicative and personable. Very flexible with her schedule. Always checking in and checking out! — sent a lot of pictures. Highly recommended. Will use her again!”
“Dari was phenomenal with our fellas. She spent the holidays with them, loving them and caring for them while we were out of town. She is such an animal lover and genuinely cares for the well being of our fur babies. I can’t wait to hire her again. The fellas say thank you Aunt Dari!”
About: I’ve been running a “private flight crew” for dogs in my past apartment community for the last 4 years. Now that we’ve moved into a home with a yard, I’m able to expand my guest list and offer more First-Class stays. I specialize in creating a calm, boutique boarding experience with small groups, gentle structure, and tons of personal attention. My background is in real, in-home care for dogs of all personalities — seniors, shy pups, social butterflies, and everything in between — and I focus on safe introductions, cozy routines, and individualized care so every pup feels secure and completely at home. You can also catch us on instagram - CanineconciergeSRQ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — it’s part of my everyday “flight plan.” I work from home and stay hands-on throughout the day, so the pups enjoy consistent attention, yard time, play, treats, and snuggles. My husband, Riley, is also a co-pilot in our little operation, and for reasons unknown, every pup decides he’s their instant favorite — I’ve accepted it. Together we keep a calm, steady rhythm with morning potty breaks, midday activity, afternoon naps, and evening walks or yard zoomies. Because we only host a small number of dogs at a time, each pup gets the time, structure, and companionship they need to feel completely comfortable and cared for. When pups stay in our home, they live right alongside us — part of the household, never tucked away or left alone in a separate space. I tailor each dog’s care to match their routine and personality: slow introductions for shy pups, structured play for energetic guests, cozy rest areas for nappers, and plenty of enrichment throughout the day. I supervise all interactions to keep the environment peaceful and positive, and I follow your feeding, medication, and comfort instructions exactly as you share them. Riley is also involved in the day-to-day care (and yes, he somehow becomes everyone’s favorite within minutes). With only a small number of dogs at a time, we’re able to give each pup thoughtful, individualized attention and create a safe, familiar, truly home-like experience.
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for cats and have cared for two of my own for several years. I’m very available, dependable, and understand how important it is to honor a cat’s unique personality. Having grown up with cats, I’ve learned how to work with their unique ways and needs! I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. And I love every cat no matter what all cats make me so happy and I think they’re the best creatures. I’d love to be of help :)
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
About: Hey there, I'm Nichole – your pet's new best friend! I’ve spent years building relationships with pets of all shapes and sizes, from playful puppies to wise old seniors. With experience in caring for senior dogs, I understand the patience and gentle touch they require, ensuring they're comfortable and content every step of the way. I also have a soft spot for exotic pets! Whether you have a chirpy bird, a scaly reptile, or a curious critter, you can trust me to provide specialized care tailored to their unique needs. When your furry friend is in my care, they're not just another client – they're family. I take the time to really get to know them, from their favorite toys to their special quirks. Whether it's a high-energy romp in the park, a cozy cuddle session at home, or specialized care for your furry friend, I tailor each experience to suit their individual needs and preferences. I believe in open communication, so you can always expect regular updates and photos while you're away. After all, I know how important peace of mind is when you're trusting someone with your furry loved one. So if you're looking for more than just a pet sitter – if you want someone who will treat your family member with the same love and care as you do – then look no further. I'm here to make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve, because with me, they're in good paws... or claws... or fins. Currently I am working part time so I will have a lot of availability to watch your pets. From early mornings to late afternoons, you can trust me to be there for your pet! I have a very large backyard and often visit the dog park near me! I love taking pets to the lake if they like to play in water. I have a very cozy space with lots of spots to nap. Your furry friend will never get bored!
About: I set up my own pet sitting business as a kid and took care of dogs, cats, birds, bearded dragons and more! I love going for walks and keeping your pets company while you’re away. You can be sure that your pet will be well cared for! I am off work on Fridays and Saturdays so I have all day to play with and care for your pups! I can’t wait! Woof! I can’t wait to keep your pet company while you enjoy some time away! I love going for walks and have a dog of my own that I can bring as a playmate!

“So grateful to have had our Milo stay in her house. Communication was excellent, and her home—with its backyard—is very cozy. I 100% recommend Yeini for taking care of your pet! Agradecido por recibir a nuestro Milo. Comunicación muy buena y su casa, con patio, muy acogedora. Recomiendo 100% a Yeini por el cuidado de tu mascota.”
“Jewell is a jewel! She took perfect care of my 15 year-old 10 lb fog. She is attentive, understands dogs, caring, and even after our first visit, I know I can trust her with my little old soul Zorro completely.”
“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!”
“Beth was a wonderful host for Teddy. He can be very anxious on his first visit, but Beth obviously knew how to handle him and make him calm. She opened her home and sent a picture as they sat together. He was so relaxed on the ride home, I could tell he enjoyed the day with Beth and Snickers! Thanks Beth for going the extra mile!”
“Christal watched our puppy for our first time away from him and she did an incredible job! She was so accommodating and reassuring. We could tell she gave him much attention and exercise. He was actually excited to see her and sad when he was picked up and had to leave. I would recommend her to anyone! If only we had more than 5 stars!”
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.
About: Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, and bunnies, caretaking has always been second nature to me. As a former teacher, I am now leaning fully into my true passion, and bringing comfort and happiness to pets gives me so much genuine joy. Whether your family member is a high-energy pup, an independent cat, or a gentle senior who needs a patient touch and daily medication, I treat them with the exact same structure, love, and respect I would give my own. I can't wait to keep your furry best friends safe, happy, and thoroughly spoiled while you're away! Because my other part-time commitments total only 6 hours a week, my schedule is incredibly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time to focus entirely on caring for your pets! Here is exactly when I am briefly away each week: Weekday Evenings (2 total): At a gym, I coach a few adult workout classes in the evenings. Sunday Mornings: I teach Sunday school to preschoolers for a brief session. Outside of these short windows, my days are completely open. This minimal schedule allows me to offer highly attentive, consistent care, adapt easily to your pet's normal routine, and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day! Whether welcoming a pet into my home or staying at yours, safety and clear structure are my top priorities. My home is a pet loving environment shared with my friendly dog and two cats. To ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable, I utilize sturdy pet gates to easily separate animals for quiet time or feeding, and I am more than happy to accommodate crating upon request. Because my part-time jobs take up only 6 hours a week, pets in my care receive constant supervision and a highly consistent routine. As a former educator, I am meticulous about following your exact instructions, maintaining strict safety boundaries, and keeping you updated with photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, respected, and thoroughly loved.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every dog. I don't just watch the dogs - I connect with them. I take time to understand their personalities, routines and needs to fill safe, relaxed and loved while you are away. Because I work from home, caring for dogs fits naturally into my day. I am able to provide lots of walks, outdoor time play and companionship throughout the day. Its a joy to have pet time as part of my daily routine. Your dogs safety and comfort is my number one priority whether it is in your home or mine. I pay attention to all the details you provide me regarding your pets personality and needs.
“Brianna was so great with Fin. He had a long traveling car to Sarasota and was exhausted. Lots of new places for him. She was very good with him which was such a relief for me, as I never left him with anyone before.”
“SO MANY GOOD THINGS I COULD SAY!!! My boyfriend and I look at our two dogs, Hope (almost 2) and Zeus (3 months), like they are children. Our girl Hope can be an escape artist at times and is very active, so we have a collar for her with gps and tracking of her steps. With that being said, in the past I have not re-used some people off rover because Hope simply would not move the entire time!!! At Donnas, Hope and Zeus both ran and ran (after all I could tell). And had an absolute blast. Her yard is fenced in so no dog could get out, even our little lunatics. She knows so much about dogs I have never felt so confident with leaving our babies with someone before. Hope and Zeus will be back!! Truly a gem!”
“Charlotte and Randy are absolutely wonderful. I was very anxious about leaving my spoo with anyone and they were fabulous. They have their own little spoo and Churchill felt so at home with them and would get so excited to visit them, this from a dog who doesn't like strangers. They were only strangers for one day. He knew when his daycare day was and would be so excited to go. I can't thank them or recommend them highly enough for the way they loved my dog. I'm sorry to be moving away because we will miss them greatly. Do not hesitate to leave your dog with them. If you have a poodle even better.”
“Sarah and her family were great! She communicated throughout the day and send pictures! Obi was loved and spoiled from the second I dropped him off! Definitely will rebook with Sarah whenever I need daycare or boarding. Thank you Sarah!!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.

“Terra is amazing and my frenchie loved her all the way around from the walks, the petting, and the feeding times being right on schedule. She is certainly welcome back to care for my dog anytime! Thanks Terra so much for all the extra effort!”
“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”
About: I’ve grown up with many animals for years, but it all started with my first dog Luna when I was 6! She’s now very old and my mom and I do our best to treat her with care and patience. We’ve had times where we’ve had to take her to the vet, give her medicines, and adjust her diet to benefit her health. She’s been on my side all my life, and so have I! Whenever I could, I would hug and kiss all of my animals to show them that neglect is not a part of this household. I often walk her afterschool and I always let her sleep with me when she wants (she has the attitude of a queen)! I sometimes would pull out her old toy and play with her, but gently enough not to strain her! Regardless of the circumstances, I’ve given every animal all the care I could. Not only does it help them, but it makes me happy! To see an animal enjoying my company has to be one of the greatest feelings in the world, and that connection is better than anything! Due to college, I am only available for the last half of Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday! But, I will be updating my availability if anything pops up and I’ll openly talk about scheduling with clients ☀️☀️ How I care for pets all depends on the environment and their needs! Living in a small home with limited grass space, I often times take all of my animals outside and chill with them! I’ll walk my dog on the sidewalks of my neighborhood’s, let my birds feel the breeze in their cage, and let my cats explore the space freely!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
“Taylor did very well with Teddy. He is a little skittish, but she was able to get him to trust her. I will use Taylor again when I have the opportunity to go out to dinner or to a ball game. She was very attentive to the dog and played with him to make him feel more comfortable.”
About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working and enjoy a somewhat flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet. I am an empty nester with a longtime boyfriend; we have been in Florida for almost 4 years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.
“Jewell is an amazing dog walker. She arrived early to meet Nauni which was very thoughtful. Nauni was very happy when she returned from her walk with Jewell. I will use Jewell again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs consistently for neighbors since I was growing up, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. Last summer, I also worked at Groomerie as a dog bather, where I learned how to safely handle dogs, read body language, keep pets calm, and make sure they felt comfortable during care. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every dog has different needs—whether that means extra energy on walks, gentle care for nervous pups, or a calm approach with older dogs. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. Pet care fits well into my routine this semester. I’m a college student taking three online courses, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m also shadowing for OT and PT three days a week, but outside of those hours I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care is something I’m excited to make part of my weekly routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules they have in place. I know consistency helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior, keep a clean and safe environment, and always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food areas are secure. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings and make safety my main focus. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable from the moment we meet. After more than 11 years as a pet owner and sitter, I’ve learned that every pet has its own personality, routine, and their own personality, routine, and unique way of expressing themselves. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adapt to their routine and energy level so they feel at home. I’m calm, dependable, patient, and treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I carefully follow your instructions and provide regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, cats, and pets that require oral medications or extra attention due to age or special needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and earning their trust at their own pace. Your pet won’t be left alone for long with my work from home. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll be there to keep them company and stick to their routine. ✅ 11+ years as a devoted dog owner ✅ Calm, patient, and dependable ✅ Comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels ✅ Oral medication experience ✅ Regular photo and video updates ✅ Work-from-home schedule means your pet won’t be left alone for long ✅ Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first
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.
“Daelia took such good care of my baby! She was communicative, followed instructions, and sent photos. She even took care of her in the days following her spay surgery. Thank you again!”
“My experience with Caroline was exceptional - she met or exceeded every metric of a dog walker I can image. She connected immediately with my dog, who can sometimes be standoffish with new people. Her communication was superb. I look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Joshua stepped right in and did a wonderful job with Gus. He walked him everyday at the park and all the neighbors mentioned what a great guy he is and seemed to really enjoy Gus. Will definitely rebook.”
“I had the pleasure of teaching both Jose and Alexis when they were students of mine and they were excellent in the classroom so it’s no surprise that that excellence and professionalism transfers over to their dog walking. It gives me immense pleasure to say that they are by far the most professional dog walkers I’ve come across. They communicated about Luna, took tons of pictures, made sure she had a great time AND got a nice long walk in and showed her lots of love. I wholeheartedly recommend both Jose and Alexis for your dog walking needs. They are exceptional.”
“Dariana did a great job walking my dog over the weekend while I was at work. My dog loved her and got the exercise she needed and I felt confident in the care she received the whole time!”
About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. This summer I will be in a production at the Asolo Repertory Theatre but before that I am looking to spend as much time with pups as I can. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

“Stephany came very highly reviewed and for good reason! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process from booking through pick up and took fantastic care of our dog. She didn't miss a day of photos and provided consistent updates, which is always a great relief when entrusting someone to care for your loved one. She provide Rex his own space so that he could have quiet and solitude when needed, but also ample play and outdoor time. Rex left a happy and healthy boy. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Nick was an amazing host to scout for 10 days. This was my first time boarding a dog so I was not sure what to expect, but Nick went above and beyond to keep me at ease while I was out of the country by sending multiple photo/video updates every day and notes about scouts behavior and integration with the other animals.”
“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!!”
“Sierra is excellent. She's professional and accommodating. She loves animals and will take great care of your pet. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again in the future!”
“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.”
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Tina was great watching our pup! She was communicative and professional. We got plenty of updates throughout the stay and know our dog was well taken care of…getting all the love and pets!”
“Helen was amazing with Koda !! She kept me posted all the time and sent pics !! She has a great fenced in backyard and Koda loved her pup too ! She took her on walks and snuggled with her while watching tv.. Thank you so much :) I’ll definitely be using her again when I’m up in that area again”
“Kari and Eric were sitting my dog for 2 weeks. They are kind and caring people, and treated my dog as their own. Kari provided regular updates with photos. I would definitely recommend them as great dog sitters, and will use their services next time. Thank you. Leon.”
“Charlotte was very communicative, quick response time, & flexible with pick-up time. Bentley came home very tired after his stay there, so thank you!!! We will definitely be rovering with Charlotte again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“The best sitters I’ve ever experienced!! They sent pictures and videos of our little pup multiple times a day, he was constantly getting exercise during his visit, and they even taught him “paw”! We can tell our pup had a great time with them and on top of that they were very communicative and flexible. Cannot say enough good things! 🫶”
“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!”
“Audrey and Karson were amazing with our dog, Panda! He’s over 100 pounds and a big, strong boy, but they handled him so well. Even though he’s almost 10 years old, he still acts like a puppy, and they were incredibly patient and attentive with him. They watched him for two nights, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. It’s not always easy finding someone confident with a large dog, but they exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Audrey and Karson and hope to use them again in the future!”
“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.”
“Pamela is the best sitter we could ask for. Every time we go on vacation, Nico gets one too. He’s always so relaxed and happy being with Pamela and her family , you can tell he’s genuinely loved and cared for, not just watched. We never worry when he’s with her, which as dog parents is honestly the biggest gift. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Nico (and we!) are always so excited for his next stay with her.”
