It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such great hands. 🐾 To top it all off, they went above and beyond by jump-starting my car when I was on my way to pick her up! Truly incredible people. ❤️ I highly recommend Brian and Julie for anyone looking for trustworthy, kind, and caring pet sitters! 🏡🐕✨”

“I cannot thank Angelina enough for all her help this weekend. She was communicative, timely, and trustworthy. She followed all of my instructions and I felt confident that my cat was being cared for while I was away.”
“Lisa is amazing! She went the extra mile to check on our boys when a heat wave hit while we were away. She made sure they were safe and sound. I am so grateful for her care of our fur babies!”
“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”

“Mihaela was truly wonderful with our fur babies! She checked in regularly, sent lots of updates with pictures/videos and spent lots of quality time with them both. It made being away from home that much easier knowing our furry loved ones were in great and caring hands. Thank you so much ! We are so appreciative.”
About: I'm available all day Monday and Tuesday most weeks to care for your pup while you're away. I've been a dog mom for the past year and I love it so much I wish I could get another! Now is not the right time for that so I figured, why not pet sit! I live next to a dog park where I take my puppy (he's 7 months) every day for at least 30minutes to an hour. I'll make sure to take lots of pictures and videos of your dog enjoying themselves on our walks along Freedom Parkway or while we're hanging out at Freedom Barkway, the dog park. Let me know all your dog's special needs and I will make sure to take care of them while you're away!
About: 🐾 Your Pets Aren’t Just Pets — They’re Family! 🐾 Hi, I’m Sherri! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe every pet deserves the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I spent 4.5 years working at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for all types of animals with different personalities, needs, and temperaments. I specialize in caring for large breeds, having been a Great Dane owner for over 10 years. I understand the unique needs of giant breeds — from their big personalities and gentle hearts to their exercise, comfort, and care requirements. Large dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I’m confident providing the patience, handling, and attention they deserve. I have experience with extended house and pet sitting, and my own home is a mini animal family! I currently share my life with a Great Dane named Dunkin, a rescue pup named Potato, a Siamese cat named Yodel, a bird named Yoo-Hoo, and a tortoise named Sam. My animals are my babies and are involved in my everyday life. Many of my pets are rescues and require extra patience, understanding, and TLC — something I provide naturally. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication assistance, special care, or simply a loving companion while you’re away, I’m happy to customize my services to fit their needs. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and spoiled just like they would at home. I’ve been told I take the best pictures 📸, and I love keeping pet parents updated with adorable photos and fun moments so you can feel connected while you’re apart. I’m located in Ruskin, available most weekends, and would love the opportunity to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member. Let’s get walking! 🐶🐾 — Sherri My schedule is currently very flexible. I have a standing commitment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a local dog walk, but I am available outside of those hours to accommodate your pet care needs. I also offer late-night walks and visits for clients who work overnight shifts or have nontraditional schedules, and I'm happy to work with you to create a schedule that best fits you and your pet. I offer both overnight stays in your home and drop-in visits, depending on your pet's needs. We can discuss the best option during our meet-and-greet to ensure you're comfortable and your pet receives the highest level of care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and attentive care. I am also clean, neat, and organized, and I take pride in respecting your home by leaving it just as I found it.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and currently have two large adoption doggy fur babies who I love like crazy! I love walking them and being outside and have a very flexible schedule. My schedule is completely flexible schedule as I stay home. I am ready and available to care for your pets and take care of their needs during the day or night. I own two of my own and care for many friends dogs in my home as well as their homes. I am very flexible in caring for your needs.
About: From my earliest memories, our home was filled with multiple cats, dogs, birds, and even a horse. Today, my heart belongs to my gentle giant, Jinx, a 20lb Maine Coon who's taught me so much about the joy of feline companionship. I can't express how excited I am to get to know your precious cats, to learn their quirks and personalities, and to ensure they feel cherished and cared for during my visits. My boyfriend and I quit our corporate jobs to start our own home based business. This gives me plenty of flexibility to fit your schedule. My service is tailored to your cat's needs. I adhere to your feeding guidelines, providing fresh food and water as instructed, and clean kitty litter. Additionally, I'm available for plant watering and mail collection if needed.
About: About Me: Your cat deserves more than just a food refill; they deserve a sitter who speaks their language. I am a Jackson Galaxy Certified Cat Behaviorist (since 2016) and a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) with over a decade of professional experience. Why I’m Different: I am the founder of a local non-profit cat rescue dedicated to saving and rehabilitating abandoned felines. My background isn't just in cuddling (though I love that, too!); it is rooted in deep behavioral science and safety. My Expertise Includes: Behavioral Insight: As a certified behaviorist, I understand subtle body language, anxiety triggers, and how to interact with "spicy," shy, or aggressive cats without causing stress. Medical Proficiency: Through my rescue work, I am highly experienced in administering oral medications, subcutaneous fluids, insulin, and managing post-surgical care. Safety & Security: My training as an Animal Control Officer means I am trained to handle emergencies calmly and effectively, ensuring your home and pet remain safe. I have dedicated my life to animal welfare, advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves. When you book with me, you are getting a professional who treats your cat with the same level of expertise and love that I give to the hundreds of rescues I’ve saved.

“Freddy and Talena were amazing! They made us feel ao comfortable leaving our fur baby at daycare. We moved from Iowa to Florida and have been searching for another daycare as fabulous as the daycare we took Rip to in Iowa and we have found it! 1st day and will be back and regular customers! Thanks so very much Freddy and Talena! Annie and Frank”
“Diana took very good care of my puppy and even provided me picture updates and recommendations for care. I appreciate her acceptance of sitting on short notice. Will continue to book daycares with Diana! ?”

“My wife and I were extremely happy with Tamara. At first we were a bit nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family that he knew but Tamara made us feel very comfortable. She updated us throughout the day and treated our boy as if he was part of her family and we couldn’t have been happier. Definitely recommend using her and we will for sure be using her services again!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. In addition to owning pets, I have pet sat for friends and family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My family is very pet-friendly, and my children love interacting with pets through playtime and affection while I provide all care and supervision. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and homeschool my children, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Our family spends most of our time at home, providing pets with plenty of attention and supervision. While my children participate in sports activities on some evenings, pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I plan my schedule to ensure they receive consistent care, exercise, and affection. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. Because I work from home and homeschool my children, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, which truly brings me immense joy. Whether it's spending quality time with them, delivering litters, administering medicine, or giving baths, I'm well-versed in providing the best care. At home, our fun and lively household includes a 3-year-old female labradoodle mix and two cats who mainly keep to themselves. I'm well-prepared to offer a loving and enriching environment for your fur babies too! I'm currently a stay at home mom with a passion for staying busy and getting outdoors. I love filling my days with activities, and playing with your pups will be a genuine pleasure for me. Whether it's a game of fetch in the yard or a leisurely walk around the neighborhood, I thrive on ensuring pets are happy, active, and well cared for. My flexible schedule means I'm available any time, for as long as needed, to give your furry friends the attention and love they deserve.**We do offer a discount on stays longer than 2 weeks! ** I have a spacious, fenced yard where your pet can play and explore freely. We never leave the doggies unattended in the back yard. My friendly 4 year old labradoodle loves having playmates and will keep your pet entertained with plenty of fun and exercise. For pets who need some quiet time or separation, I have a separate room for that too. I do have a few kennels available if your doggie prefers to sleep in one or if there are medical or safety reasons for one.
“Joan was absolutely wonderful with our dog during daycare! She provided frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, very responsive, positive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious Joan created a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment in her home. We really appreciated the attention, affection, and care she gave throughout the day. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring doggy daycare!”

About: Plenty of references with my regular customers that I can share. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve long been the go-to person for family and friends when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I also volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me even more appreciation for understanding dog behavior and providing consistent, thoughtful care. Hi! I’m a lifelong dog mom and recently retired professional who now has the time to focus on something I truly love spending time with animals. Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes very naturally to me. I’m also a volunteer with Dogs Inc., which has given me an even deeper appreciation for dog behavior, patience, and understanding different personalities. I’m physically fit and active, so daily walks, playtime, and keeping up with energetic dogs is something I truly enjoy. I share my home with my dog Roxie, who absolutely loves having visiting dogs around. She’s very friendly and quickly becomes the welcoming committee for any new house guests. Because I’m retired, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, visits, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog needs exercise, a midday visit, or a comfortable place to stay, I love making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and trusting environment and care for every pet just as I would my own, with plenty of attention, love, and care.

I love dog walking & giving your pets the most attention and love they deserve! I will feed, walk & play with your pet whether its in my home or yours. I have a decent size yard to allow your dog to run around with my very friendly dog to keep them company! I can also keep them crated if you prefer but have dog beds for your pet to cozy up and feel at home in my home.
“Fiorella and her family were great! She responded when I needed someone to take extra care of my puppy at the last minute. I can tell by all the photos she sent throughout the day that Smoke was so happy to be there with her family and other pups. She was responsive and made sure to give me updates regarding his current stomach issue. She was so attentive and noticed a small detail about my puppy that I forgot to mention about him. I felt comfortable all day with him there with her. I will be a returning customer! Highly recommend!”

I’ve been told I take the best pictures 📸, and I love keeping pet parents updated with adorable photos and fun moments so you can feel connected while you’re apart. I’m located in Ruskin, available most weekends, and would love the opportunity to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member. Let’s get walking! 🐶🐾 — Sherri My schedule is currently very flexible. I have a standing commitment on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a local dog walk, but I am available outside of those hours to accommodate your pet care needs. I also offer late-night walks and visits for clients who work overnight shifts or have nontraditional schedules, and I'm happy to work with you to create a schedule that best fits you and your pet. I offer both overnight stays in your home and drop-in visits, depending on your pet's needs. We can discuss the best option during our meet-and-greet to ensure you're comfortable and your pet receives the highest level of care. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing them with love, patience, and attentive care. I am also clean, neat, and organized, and I take pride in respecting your home by leaving it just as I found it.
About: I am an Animal science Bachelor degree graduate. I was involved in the vet assistant program in highschool. I have acquired my animal science certification as well as my veterinary assistant certification. I have volunteered at many vet clinics. I have experiences with medically complex animals due to my dog having diabetes. I have pet sat many family and friends dogs as well. I also currently work at an animal hospital. I currently only work at the zoo on the weekends and only have class twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I just had a baby so I would like to get out the house as much as I can. I can do drop in's feedings, administer meds, walkings, and keeping pet company for a few hours at your residence. What ever is needed at your place of residence.
“We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away and made sure they got their daily walks. She kept us updated, and it was clear our pups were happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. We came home to two relaxed, happy dogs. We'd definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Sherry was amazing, very responsive, and responsibly priced. Not only did she provide photos and updates on my dog, she also notified me when she was in transit to my home to walk my dog. She even went the extra mile to ensure my dog was actually eating food by handfeeding my fur baby. I will be booking her for future pet needs. Thanks Sherry....YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!”

She picked him up, bought him his favourite dog food, frequently sent us videos of him and even brought him back to our place. She also has a beautiful yard where doggies can run around and play together. Our Ozzy was sooo happy :) Totally recommend and would board again!”

My pet adored them- Zoey looked so happy and relaxed when I went to pick her up. Highly recommend Lori & Jim to anyone for a reliable and loving care for their pets!”
“We had such a great experience with Camila! She was super friendly and communicative from the very beginning. She even invited us over beforehand so we could see how our cat would do in her home and meet her sweet dog, which really put us at ease. While we were out of town, she cared for our cat for several days and sent us regular updates and photos. She truly went above and beyond to make our cat feel comfortable, loved, and part of her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely book with her again!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. In addition to owning pets, I have pet sat for friends and family and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My family is very pet-friendly, and my children love interacting with pets through playtime and affection while I provide all care and supervision. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and homeschool my children, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Our family spends most of our time at home, providing pets with plenty of attention and supervision. While my children participate in sports activities on some evenings, pets are never left unattended for extended periods, and I plan my schedule to ensure they receive consistent care, exercise, and affection. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, potty breaks, medication administration (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. Because I work from home and homeschool my children, pets receive frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while ensuring they are safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay.
“Tamara is very responsive from the get-go, easy to reach out to, and very flexible with her schedule. We are just happy to find someone who took really good care of our fur baby while we cannot. She puts our mind in peace knowing that our puppy is in safe hands by sending us updates with pics and videos everyday. She’s just a real pro! Thank you so much again Tamara! 🙏❤️😊”
“My dog had only stayed with my FIL when we went away but he passed away this year and we were stressed not knowing who to leave him with. We interviewed multiple people and chose Lexi and her sweet family. She was so great at keeping in touch throughout our 2 week trip. He was so well taken care of and they went up and beyond to accommodate our schedule when we had traveling issues. Im certain he cant wait for our next adventure away where he can go stay and play. Lexi and her family are the best and we are thankful to have found them :)”
“Tressa was absolutely incredible!! I felt so comfortable leaving my girl with her and her family. She sent lots of pictures and updates so i knew she was okay. 100% recommend booking Tressa!!!”
