“My Bean had a good time at Marley's. He was busier there than at home because he is an only child. Marley and her husband were super welcoming and friendly, and Bean was comfortable there. There were other dogs there who were friendly as well. I will be using her services again for sure. Thank you Marley♡ for taking care of my little 15 yr old baby.”
“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!”

“Linda did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I’ve never boarded them before and am I happy I tried it. Nice to know that they are not alone and get loved on just as if they were at home. She sent pictures and video to show that they were doing great. I plan on using Linda everytime we need a sitter.”
“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”

“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”
“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”
“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!”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently own four cats and have experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. Friends, family, and clients often call me a "cat whisperer" because I have a special ability to connect with shy, fearful, and independent cats, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every cat is unique and respect their individual needs, routines, and boundaries. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I provide patient, compassionate care tailored to their personality. I have experience with feeding, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, playtime, companionship, and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. I genuinely love animals and treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your feline family member feels secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away. 🐾❤️
“Allie was great. My kitty Suki who has anxiety loved her, played with her and let her pet her. She even took out the garbage for us without me asking. Allie brought in the mail, sent pics of Suki and watered plants too. Excellent! I highly recommend and will ask for her again.”
“This was my second time booking Hailey to watch my kitties and she was fantastic again! She’s very reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the pets she watches. She kept me updated and made sure everything was taken care of. I came home and it was like I never even left. I’ll definitely continue booking her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

I love caring for pets as if they are my own. Give me a call and allow me the opportunity to take care of your pet dog. I will walk and feed your dog (s). Stay with them and play, pet and cuddle to ease any anxiety they may have in your absence.

Above all, I am genuinely attentive to animal behavior, ensuring your dogs or cats feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own, giving you complete peace of mind.

Your pets won't have to spend long hours waiting alone, giving them a stress-free, comfortable routine and giving you total peace of mind throughout the day.

I strictly adhere to their familiar schedules for feeding, exercise, and medication so they experience zero disruption while you are away.

With me, your pets receive constant, reliable companionship, and you get the total peace of mind that comes from knowing their day is structured, safe, and fully accounted for.
About: I've taken care of pets for friends and family for many years. I've done in home pet sitting, dog walking, and boarding. I have also done volunteer work at many different shelters. I graduated high school in May of 2026 and am currently an online college student with lots of free time to walk dogs at any time throughout the day. I care for dogs by making sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for during every walk and visit. I make sure to pay close attention to what they need, give them plenty of exercise and attention, and always make sure to treat them like they are my own dog.
About: I grew up around animals and have always loved them. I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years and have experience with pets of all different personalities and needs. I’ve also fostered dogs through my local humane society, which has given me experience helping nervous or shy dogs feel comfortable, giving medications when needed, and getting to know what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I currently work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility and am able to spend plenty of time with your pets. I’m available for house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and giving your pets some extra attention while you’re away. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just hanging out with pets. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they get the kind of care they’re used to. I know it can be hard to leave your pets with someone else, so I’ll always do my best to make the experience as easy as possible for both you and your pet. I’m very communicative and will send lots of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well taken care of, getting lots of love, and having a good time while you’re gone. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own (and definitely spoil them a little, too!) 🐾 Pet care is naturally a part of my everyday life! Since I currently work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and have a flexible schedule for walks and visits. I’m very active and love getting outside, so I’m always happy to go on walks, play, or just spend some time keeping your pet company. I’m also more than happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means a long walk, some playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply having someone around. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, respect, and patience. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: I enjoy walking and playing, and all the animals I have had the pleasure of taking care of benefit from that. My bloodhound /lab up north had high anxiety and high energy when we took her in, and after a few weeks of long walks twice a day she calmed down. My jack Russel was also high strung until her walks and playing. I live close to a park and to a trail which I walk to daily. I live in a peaceful area and my back yard is a bird haven. I have plenty of time, room, and love for your pet. I have taken care of friends, neighbors, and relatives pets for many years up north, and now I am ready to be your pets friend in the south. My house is set up to have plenty of room for any size dog. We are always outside and I live very close to a park.

“What a great sitter Jennifer was amazing she kept us updated and was quite great at her sitting this was our first experience and she was amazing highly recommend”
“Linda did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I’ve never boarded them before and am I happy I tried it. Nice to know that they are not alone and get loved on just as if they were at home. She sent pictures and video to show that they were doing great. I plan on using Linda everytime we need a sitter.”
“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“Michelle and Dane did an awesome job watching Barley while we were on a cruise. She sent updates that we would receive when we arrived in port. He enjoyed being able to snuggle with them.”
“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”
“Britney is truly amazing. She’s been our go to sitter since last November. This time we had to go out of town with little advance notice. Britney responded very quickly that she would watch our dog. She eagerly took on the care of our dog despite the dog having a strain knee ligament. While Britney pampered Luna, she noted that the injury seemed more than just a strain. She contacted me and help us out by taking Luna to the vet for an x-ray. Turns out it was a tear, no a strain. I’m n order to keep Luna off the leg, she even slept on the couch and the floor with Luna! That is caring. I can’t praise her enough!”
“I used Rover for the first time and was honestly a little skeptical because of past experiences. However, my original sitter had an emergency and recommended Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After reading countless reviews, I came across Alyssa and felt comfortable enough to book with her and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my baby in her care. She was incredibly sweet, very communicative, and always responded promptly with pictures and videos whenever I checked in. What really stood out to me was how flexible and accommodating she was, especially since this was a last-minute booking she truly was a lifesaver. Most importantly, when I picked up my baby, she was so happy and comfortable. She didn’t seem anxious or like she was trying to rush out, which meant everything to me. I would absolutely book Alyssa again anytime I’m visiting Sarasota. Thank you so much, Alyssa!”
“Very friendly and their living arrangements are great. Very flexible and my dog Charly loves it there. They have sent me numerous videos of Charly since I left her. They are wondrful”
About: I have been pet sitting all types of animals for over 20 years and love sharing my big backyard and pool with them. Your pups will come home happy and probably a bit tired after a long day of playing and swimming :) I am blessed to be able to work remotely and have plenty of time to share with fur friends!! I'm available for overnight sitting and daycare in my home only at this time. I am available for both daycare and boarding at my home and am open to certain add on services upon request. While I do prefer medium sized dogs and up, smaller dogs can be accommodated however, depending on their size, they may not be able to freely run the entire backyard at this time as there are fence renovations in progress and a small, smart and determined tiny pup might find an escape route.
“If we could go higher than 5 stars, we would. Morgan willingly accepted caring for our anxious Aussie after our vet recommended that we find one-on-one care for him, rather than boarding him in a "commercial" facility. Morgan daily sent notes and photos of him at play with other dogs in her care and made sure that he got plenty of exercise as well as a lot of personal attention, petting and loving. Morgan even allowed him to sleep with her, thus continuing to provide the human contact his highly anxious personality craves. He never once needed any of his prescribed anxiety medication! Instead of being super-stressed out when we picked him up, he was happy and calm. Morgan's calmness, care and nurturing is exactly what he needed. We cannot thank her enough for giving us peace of mind during our time spent with family over the holidays.”
“Kimber is the BEST!! We use her five or six times a year between doggie daycare and boarding. Zoey loves to go to her house and it's such a relief knowing that she's getting great care when she's with Kimber. We always receive videos during her stays.”
“So thankful for Morgan taking great care of my furbaby. Doug has high anxiety and takes awhile to get used to strangers so I was relieved to know he had a good time at Morgan’s place!”
“I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my naughty and anxious Malinois but Svetlana was exceptional. She kept him safe and calm. We would use her again without hesitation.”
“I am a first time Rover user and booked Kelly for our 11 year old hound mix, Bruno. She was a great communicator and kept me updated on how he was doing with texts and pictures. He did great and I am happy to use Kelly for our future trips.”
“Brittany and Joe were fantastic and took care of FiFi for 10 days. They were caring, attentive and communicative. FiFi loved snuggling with them in bed and running around their fenced in backyard. Will definitely use them again!”
“My dog spent 9 days with Monica. It’s the first time I’ve used a boarder. I was able to relax on my vacation without worrying about my dog. Great atmosphere and Bear loved it. Highly recommend!”
