“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.”
“Ducky had such a great time while we were away. She was able to accommodate us last minute. I felt super confident with her care. Was worried he would be sad but he had an absolute blast. Would use her care again in future”
“Beth was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Thor and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of her own family. Thor came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication. We would be delighted to book with Beth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”

Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
“My Kelly received wonderful care from Leslie. Leslie was just fabulous sending me updates and photos twice a day. Kelly got exercise, play time with new friends and had a wonderful time there.

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. Communication in advance is key and I respond quickly to messages. My service will focus mostly on walking your dogs since the condo I live in doesn’t allow me to board pets with me, unfortunately. But I look forward to meeting and caring for your dogs on their daily walks!

Roscoe seemed happy and very comfortable in Lori’s home. I appreciated all communication. Lori understood how much we love Roscoe and she treated him with the best care. We truly appreciate Lori.”
“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.”
“They are a really nice family and they always kept in touch with us, they send us pictures everyday I am really thankful with them because they took care of our dog like if they were the owners. I really recommend them”

“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!”
“Rebeca took such good care of Didi that I've already booked her for my next out-of-town trip. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she sent. Didi obviously liked her. Rebeca went over and above what I expected, so I trust her with my feline sidekick.”

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.
“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!”
About: Caring for cats comes naturally to me, and I understand their unique personalities and needs. I love all kinds of cats and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.
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: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I am patient, responsible, and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their families are away. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits during the week and on weekends. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care your pet may need. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away.

I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.
“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!”
“They were awesome! Glen had a great time playing with the other dogs there! They know a ton about dogs so I felt extremely comfortable leaving glen with them for the day and they were great to him! Definitely will be using them anytime I am in town!”
“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!”
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.
“Christal was amazing!! Was a last minute request and she accepted immediately and was great with communication. Got so many pictures and picked up my puppy with the biggest smile on her face. Will definitely be asking her to help with future bookings!!!!”
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 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: 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.
“Amazing experience! Abby accepted a last minute booking and provided great care. Communication was excellent, and my dog came back happy. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“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.”
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 :)
“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.”

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.
“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.”
“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!”
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!

“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.

I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and always treat them with love, patience, and responsibility. My schedule is very flexible, as I run my own business and manage my own time. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day.

If needed I would be able to do brief stop ins, between 1:30-3 and after 5:30pm I cannot have pets in my home unfortunately. I will be happy and able to Take care of an animal in their own home as I feel they are more comfortable and less stressed at home anyways. Any amount of physical play needed with a high energy dog can be done.
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.
“Jose and Alexis go above and beyond! We have two small dogs and one is a puppy mill rescue with a few special needs. They’ve been great in handling any special requests we have. Also they send tons of pictures and even videos. 😁”
“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.”
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 grown up around dogs my whole life, which is one of the things that makes me different from other sitters. I’ve had a German Shepherd named Remi, two Australian Shepherds named Sullivan and Sailor, and a Pit Bull named Izzy, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs and personalities. Growing up with them taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and loving with every pet. I truly treat every dog like they’re my own and always want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Since being out of college and home for the summer, my schedule is very opened and flexible. I am available every day of the week and every time that is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, a spacious home for puppies to run around in and would be more than happy to crate your pet if needed.
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.
