Dog Sitters in Bradenton, FL

Mary, of Chasin Tails Pet Care, is quite simply just the best! I had never left my dogs with anyone other than family before. She was so attentive with them. I knew from our initial meet and greet that I made the right choice! She had them literally taking treats from her hand! I couldn’t have been more pleased! I was thrilled to see that my babies were so receptive of her. She spent time to acclimate them and gain their trust! It’s obvious that’s he really cares about each animal! I am so appreciative of her and her level of dedication. It is so obvious that this is clearly more than just a job to her. I can’t thank her enough! I could tell immediately that her heart was in the right place and that she genuinely loves our little ‘fur babies’. 😍🐾😍

Mary is so wonderful with our pets! She is so caring, attentive and thoughtful when she watches our babies. When we leave we feel that they are in the best care with Mary because she treats them so well and spoils them! It’s like they are on a vacation when we go away and that is such a good feeling to have when away. Thank you for the amazing care! I wouldn’t look anywhere else for pet care!

This pet sitting service was recommended by my vet; if that doesn’t say it all about what a professional company they are I don’t know what does. I was gone 5 months. Two amazing sitters took turns caring for my 20 and 8 year old cats. Daily they were in contact with me letting me know how everything was. They sent pictures and videos everyday. They were very good about telling me when my pet supplies needed to be reordered. I felt so at peace knowing they were in good hands. When I got home, the cats were very peaceful, the litter boxes were immaculate and everything in my home was in order. EXHALE! I HIGHLY recommend this company😸😸

We left Maya for the first time ever and after looking for over 6 people(companies) we settle on Chase’n Tails. We loved the attention and professionalism. We have to go out again... and guess who we are going to call?

Mary and her team are the absolute best pet sitters around!! They are truly caring and adore each and every pet they watch! We feel completely at ease leaving town when we know our two dogs will be under their care. Also, our dogs LOVE them! I'm so thankful to have them!!

Wonderful pet care. When I leave my kitties in their care I never worry. I always get updates with pictures and know that they are having fun and getting lots of love. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsible pet care. Love that I finally found a pet service that gives me peace of mind when I have to be away. Highly recommend!

I had Susan for my cat sitter and she was AMAZING!! She sent me pics of my babies daily and would sit and play with them. She even left them a feather toy and laser pointer with a Christmas card. I will definitely be using her again.

The pet-sitters are so wonderful with my cats who always look forward to spending time with the sitters! I highly recommend Chase'n Tails.

Mary & the girls are WONDERFUL!!!! MARY has been taking care of "The Boys" for about 7 yrs now & they sure do love their "Auntie Mary"!!!!

My pups love it

We had a great experience having Jean take care of our dogs for 36 days. They were is great shape when we picked them up and happy to see us, they also like Jean a lot. We met a friend whose dog was with Jean and she saw our dogs running in the back yard having a good time. We will use Jean again this summer when we travel. Jeff Heath

We’ve now used Jeannie several times and every time we are extremely pleased with her services. Our two dogs love her and she takes great care of the dogs and our home. One time a syringe that we were using for an ear infection broke. Jeannie drove to our vets office to get a new syringe so she could keep up with the ear medication. That’s just one example of the care she provides.

Hi everyone, We left our Miniature Purebred Poodle Lilli with Jeanne Holm for a week to travel to NYC for our son’s wedding. Michael and I were both nervous wreck's. Never was our Lilli (22months Old) left with anyone. I have to tell you that after meeting Jeanne our fears were gone. Jeanne exudes confidence as a Pet Sitter Lilli loved her right away. The two warmed up to one another immediately. Jeanne is a professional and has all her paperwork in order to be filled out online. My husband as a retired physician appreciated that everything was discussed and written. She is truly interested to know about your pet. During the day and everyday you receive photos, videos and messages about your pet. Also if there are questions she reaches out. You and your pet have to have this wonderful experience with Jeanne to understand what I am speaking about.. Aunt Jeanne will be the only one for Lilli.❤️❤️❤️🌹

Jeannie was recommended recently to us by friends of ours in our neighborhood in Bradenton. They went away on a 30 day cruise and Jeannie took care of both of their dogs while they were gone. They had nothing but good things to say about her so we asked her to watch our pup while we were out of town! Jeannie went above and beyond to make sure that our little girl was safe, well taken care of, and happy. She was very thorough in gathering information about our dog before we left her with her and thought of everything! Even things that I hadn’t….such as reaching out to our veterinarian to let them know that our dog would be with a sitter in the event that Jeannie had to take our pup there while we were gone. She was very accommodating in keeping Gema on her normal schedule, giving her medications, feeding her as instructed, etc. I was even able to FaceTime with our pup on a couple of occasions while we were gone, which gave me so much peace of mind! Our flight got in rather late in the evening, so upon our return, I asked Jeannie if she could drop Gema off at our place after dinner so that she would be here when we came home. Jeannie was happy to do this, and we were thrilled to see her a little girl when we finally got home! We appreciated everything that Jeannie did, and the communication while we were gone to let us know that everything was going well. Couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our pup! We highly recommend Jeannie and trust our little girl completely with her!!! :)

Jeannie took great care of my dog while I was gone. I’d never had someone that I didn’t know watch my dog, so I was a bit nervous about it. But the experience was great. Jeannie cared for my dog so well, and it became clear to me that she truly enjoys this work. Communication was outstanding. She texted me a few times a day to give me status updates while I was away. Highly recommend.

I am so thrilled to have found Jean, owner of Best Buddies Pet Sitting service in Bradenton FL to take care of my one year old Cavapoo overnight in her home. She is so kind, caring and responsible with my fur baby that I can leave with absolutely no worries at all. You can tell she truly loves what she does! She is wonderful about sending daily texts and pictures which I greatly appreciate. Jean, you are the best and I thank you for taking such great care of Gracie!

Jeannie was an absolute dream of a pet sitter. We were out of the country for two weeks. We never had a worry. She sent us photos and videos everyday. When we returned home our house was in better shape than when we left. Jeannie stayed at our house and took perfect care of our dog, Lady Di. Our adorable little girl is not always the little angel she is for us. She was a rescue and is extremely fearful of people. She has been known to bark, snap and growl at anyone who approaches her. She immediately took to Jeannie somehow knowing that Jeannie was someone she could trust and love. I would never hesitate to recommend Jeannie and rate her an over the top #10

I highly recommend Best Buddies Pet Services. Jeannie watched my 3 senior pets for two weeks and during this time kept my house neat and kept in touch with us sending pictures and videos on a regular basis. She did an awesome job. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. She was a blessing!

Jeannie has been caring for my 3 dogs and 2 cats now for quite a few months and I would recommend her to anyone!! I have three senior dogs who all require a lot of specific care and medicine. When I’m away on business, for the first time, I am totally comfortable knowing that they will be fine with her. They genuinely have great affection for her, as she does them. In fact, she is one of the 4 people In the world that my cat actually accepts as well. Her knowledge of pet CPR is a huge plus. If you are like me, and hate leaving your pets with someone else, trust me- having her care for them will give you peace of mind!!!

RE: Jeannie Holm, Best Buddies Petsitting Services We consider ourselves lucky to have the privilege of working with Jeannie Holm of Best Buddies Petsitting services. Our household consists of five rescue dogs, each with unique needs and medications to be administered, making pet care quite the challenge. Jeannie has shown an unwavering level of understanding and care for each of our pets, taking care to cater to their individual needs and habits. Under her watchful eye, our pets have not only maintained their good health, but have actually improved in their behaviors while we are away. As homeowners, we take great pride in the cleanliness and security of our space. When we return from our travels, we are pleased to find our home in impeccable condition thanks to Jeanie's exceptional service. With our commitment to our rescue dogs and their specialized care, we entrust Jeannie with this great responsibility when we travel. We depend on her knowledgeable and dedicated care for our pets and our home, and trust her services completely. In truth, our lifestyle would not be possible without the assistance of Jeannie, and we feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a capable and compassionate caregiver. With appreciation, Bob & Audri

Patti Quick is absolutely the best pet sitter around! I’ve used her for about 9 years and my cat loves her. I wouldn’t use anyone else 😻

Friendly, professional and personable

I am so thankful for this service. I could tell from the "meet and greet" that Dawn and her family were going to be wonderful with Dolly and give her lots of attention. We had left her at a kennel one time and she came home depressed for a few days. When we picked Dolly up from Dawn, she was her normal, happy self. I could tell that she was comfortable staying there and I am sure they took great care of her. We will definitely use this service again.

Dana has been our pet sitter for the past two years. We love her!! She takes care of our girls as if they were her own. Cats can be particular about who they trust , our Raya and Savannah love when Dana cat sits . Dana spends time playing, petting , and handing out treats . She sends us photos so we know our girls are adjusting fine when we are away. We are so thankful for Dana’s professional care. She has allowed us to have peace of mind while we are traveling!

We love Dana so much!!!! Our dogs love her probably more than us LOL. She spoils our boys too much! In all seriousness she is amazing, trustworthy, and an honest hardworking woman! Highly recommended! Five stars!

The owner, Dana, is the best! My dogs love her! They are always excited to see her and she always gives my dogs the upmost care! I trust her 100%! Thank you so much for loving my dogs! It is truly your calling!

Dana is so amazing with all my pets! From dogs to cats! She is a god sent angel from heaven. She truly loves animals so much and goes out of her way to go above and beyond for her clients!

Dana was a godsend to us when we recently moved to Bradenton! We were looking for someone to train our rescue dog, Charlie, who has some unique issues with resource guarding and getting along with other dogs to name a few. Dana has done an amazing job and has gone out of her way to personalize a training plan for Charlie that is working! She is a wealth of knowledge, has a passion for animals, is reliable and dependable, and Charlie loves her! So do our 3 cats! We plan to have her do pet setting for us, she even does overnights! I highly recommend!

Dana was awesome helping us train our rescue dog, Nola. Dana was kind, patient, gave us lots of tips and was constantly sending us videos and articles to assist with the training at home. I highly recommend Dana if you need someone for training your dog. She's the best and extremely affordable. She even comes to your house which really helped to have Nola in her own comfortable environment.

so, I met Dana when we got our new puppy who was only nine weeks old and has been with us every week since and he is now seven months old! She is fantastic with him, and I know Juno just loves her. She has helped us out so much with Juno‘s training and helps to break up the days that my husband and I are at work. What a great service to offer, these drop ins! I trust her immensely and she is just a genuinely a great person ❤️🐶

Dana is...absolutely one of a kind. There aren't enough words to express how wonderful she is. If you're looking for someone who doesn't JUST walk your dog(s) but connects with them, builds their confidence, and loves them wholly then you've met your match. My husband and I desperately needed a dog walker who could handle our 3 rowdy pups of all different breeds, walk styles, and temperaments (and who are on the stranger danger side!). Dana was more than happy to do a meet and greet with them. They're bit challenging but Dana reassured us she loves a good challenge and all three seem to adore her so much. She responsive, is always willing to answer your questions, and sends so many updates of their walks! Really couldn't ask for a more perfect match. She does have a busy and jam packed schedule so if you want her, gotta reach out to her asap!!

Dana is exceptionally responsible and communicative. While Dana is with our dog Coco, she sends updates and photos so we know all about the day’s fun. Coco is in the safest of care with Dana and absolutely adores her. We are really lucky to have found Dana.

Dana is the most hardworking, caring, and thoughtful person I have met. She has done outstanding work with our two dogs and our cat. The training she has done with them has helped us out so much, she was even able to teach me, my mom, and our 12 year old dog some new tricks and brings his puppy energy back out every-time he sees her. She cares about our pets like they are her own. I do not know what we would do without her.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We cannot thank you, Cheyenne enough for stepping in at extremely short notice to look after our two kitties! We reached out to her on a weekend, less than 24 hours before leaving for a 10-day family vacation after our previous care arrangement let us down. Cheyenne called me back right away and, within a few hours, was at our home for a meet-and-greet to ensure we and our kitties felt comfortable. Her communication was impeccable—she kept us updated twice each day with detailed messages. She spent quality time with our cats, informing us about their eating habits, potty routines, and included plenty of photos. Our older kitty, who is usually shy around strangers, was completely comfortable with her, as evident in the pictures. Cheyenne, truly an angel. Her professionalism and reliability we absolutely top-notch!! We will absolutely be reaching out to her the next time we need help with our kitties! and would hands down recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Cheyenne!!! 🙏🐱❤️

Cheyenne watched me two dogs in her home while I had a trip out of town. She has previously helped with walks and met them at my home, but this was my first time using her as a sitter. I'm always nervous with new sitters but she did an amazing job and my dogs clearly had a wonderful time! I appreciated how thorough her paperwork was at getting health information, preferences, etc. Super professional. She gave me updates while I was gone at the perfect frequency and I had complete confidence that everything was going well. 10/10, highly recommend, would absolutely use again!

Our River had the best time at Shiney Day! We are always so nervous to leave our baby! Cheyenne kept me up to date with how River was doing. She sent me lots of photos too! We will definitely use her services again!

Kaitlin Newman is amazing! As someone new to the Port Charlotte area and working long hours I was nervous bringing a new walker into my home. Once meeting Kaitlin those worried were instantly over. Jacque (my French Bulldog) can be a handful at time but Kaitlin took on the challenge. She treats Jacque as if he is her own. She finds joy in each and every visit with Jacque. Additionally, her communication is never lacking. She makes me aware if she will be running behind or if there is something alarming going on with Jacque. I look forward to her summary and photos daily, which is always lovely to receive during a stressful work day. Kaitlin has even hosted Jacque for two overnight boarding session in which he has been on his best behavior. Jacque is not socialized often with other dogs, so I feared having him around 5 other dogs at once but Kaitlin had no issues acclimating Jacque to the new environment. I knew he had the best of time when he would get home and sleep for the rest of evening and was even unwilling to do his usual walks the following day due to the fun filled weekend. I highly recommend Kaitlin and the Shiney Day company!

Cheyenne has taken care of my two house rabbits many times over the past several years. Between her vet tech expertise, her love of animals of all kinds and her super organized scheduling/communication platform, I always know the rabbits are in good hands. I love seeing the photos and status reports she posts during her visits. It's great to be able to get away and trust your pet sitter 100%. I highly recommend Cheyenne!

Cheyenne is the best! I trust her completely when I am away from my fur babies and they love her. Very good at communication.

Cheyenne is great! We were searching for a sitter who could take care of our furbabies while we are out of town. We have 2 aging cats with minor health issues. We feel totally at ease leaving them in Cheyenne's care. She is not only very responsive and reliable, but she also would know what to do if our cats had any health issues while we are gone. And she keeps you informed with notes and pictures every time she visits your pets. We highly recommend Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care and Cheyenne to anyone wanting peace of mind with their pet care.

Cheyenne is great, very trustworthy and reliable! She always updates you on her visit and will reach out with any concerns. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog-walker or any other of her provided services; I can guarantee your pet will be in the best hands!

Extremely professional service, website is easy to navigate and user friendly for scheduling. Extensive feedback is provided with each visit, all for a very generous price for what is given. I feel more than comfortable with Cheyenne being responsible for the scheduled visit, along with her being in my home and taking care of my dog. She’s a true animal lover, it’s highly evident how much she genuinely cares about the health and well-being of our pets. She always goes above and beyond, addresses any possible concerns she has, even those that are not hers to worry about. She is amazing at what she does and I’d recommend her services to anyone looking for a dog walker / in need of pet services.

Cheyenne and Shiney Day Pet Care are the best! Not only was she extremely quick with communication but also very accommodating with last minute changes. She loves animals so much, which makes me happy as an owner because then I know my cats are in good hands. And if you have a sick animal, she knows how to take care of them. It’s nice to have someone taking care of your animals who you can also seek ask advice from. My cat was extreme my old and sick when Cheyenne gave her the best care and helped me with figuring out what was best for her.

Hounds town Bradenton is AMAZING! My little chihuahua absolute loves coming in for daycare. She can’t get enough of her fur friends. She always comes home smelling amazing! High recommended!!!

I took Valentina to daycare for the very first time and could tell she was nervous but then I seen she was playing with her new friends on the Hounds Town Facebook page. I think she enjoyed the overall experience and hospitality because when I seen her she looked happy.

Hounds town is the perfect place for dogs too be themselves and have a good time. Super clean and lively environment!

The perfect place for a dog to truly be a dog! Friendly staff & very clean facility.

Genuine caring Dr and staff. Always feel so trusting in their care and services. We have used this location since their opening and often share our good experiences with others. Sarah and Dr P are gems!! They care for your dog as if it was their own. DiMaggio approved! Enough said.

Tito always loves visiting pet paradise. The staff of always very attentive. Recently we had a death in the family and Tito was experiencing a lot of grief and not eating properly when I am not around. The staff follow my exact instruction and made sure he was eating. Showing him extra attention and giving him the comfort of what he needs. When I picked him up, he seemed to be very well taken care of and explained his full eating schedule of when he passed up a meal and they made sure to give him a re-feed later in the day to assure that he got all his meals and nutrition in.

We’ve been taking our dog to Pet Paradise in Lakewood Ranch for years, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for her. The staff is always friendly, and we know our dog is safe, happy, and well cared for during her stays. The only issue I’ve encountered is with how her food and treats are managed. I always send her food pre-portioned in labeled bags for each day, but I’ve noticed that the labels are often ignored—some bags are used out of order or not at all. Additionally, I provide dental sticks for her to have every night before bed, but they’re not given to her. Overall, we truly appreciate the care Pet Paradise provides and hope this feedback helps improve the attention to personalized feeding instructions.

My German shepherd had the best time! The only complaint I had is that he came home limping. After bathing and looking at his back paws I noticed both rear paw pads appeared to be burned or cut to raw skin. NOT knowing about astro turf, this should have been communicated when making the appt. Had I known that this would happen, I would have only let him stay a few hours. Now my very active dog can bearly walk until his paws heal. Upon calling the next morning Gee Gee explained that astro turf can be rough and that they usually put Mushers on the paws.. but that wasn't the case with Koda.. A sign at the reception area would have been helpful!

Dropped off two happy and healthy dogs and picked up two happy and healthy dogs. Couldn’t ask for more than that! The staff was excellent and we loved being able to check out the cams to see how the pups were doing. It’s a huge relief to know that we have somewhere safe that we can trust to take care of our dogs while we’re away.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE if you have an anxious baby. I have a German shepherd that loves to play with other dogs but is very vocal. I take him to the park and he plays with my mom’s 5 lbs puppy and other big dogs on the regular. He is quite literally a gentle giant. But because of the way these people “introduce” dogs to others he’s been deemed unfit for Group play. Might I add he’s been to 3 other daycare/boarding facilities that he is able to play freely in groups with zero problems. He has even been used in a trial with another dog that was new coming in. We even showed them multiple videos of him playing at parks and in another boarding facility with 10+ dogs. After telling them that he won’t react well with how they introduced him the first time, they proceed to do the standard “introduction” (if that’s what you want to call this) and put him on a leash behind a fence with a group of loud dogs on the other side of the fence…… huh??? How would your dog react to that if they are vocal and feel threatened?? Unprofessional and very disappointing. The fact that large dogs get discriminated against when they are vocal is really sad. My dog is literally the biggest lover.

Great place , fully staffed.finally found a place where my baby is well taken care of and gets to play with other dogs , he falls asleep right away when I pick him up after work, so I know he’s a happy pup. Excellent staff! Great communication with their customers

Buyer beware! If I can give this place negative stars I would. This place has obviously gone downhill. I usually don’t comment on these forums but this struck a nerve. It has been three weeks since our dog has been with PetParadise and just now we are getting her back to normal. She went in healthy and came out with two massive ear infections and bacterial skin infection. So, after $1500 of vet bills and care we have decided to never take her back to this establishment. You’ve been warned.

I’m new to the area and wanted to be familiar with good boarding. Because my dog is a very healthy and playful 15, he was basically not welcome because of his age. Even though this place is quite expensive we were willing to give it a chance. The vet on duty made it clear they were not an animal hospital. Not very professional.

I just love Pet Paradise and the staff is so very friendly. They treat the pets so very special and it’s the perfect name because Paradise it is I love the feeling when I walk in actually I love the feeling when I’m first driving up and I see the place I love it When take my dog any other place I don’t live close. I found this place about three months ago and I don’t mind traveling to take my dog there. It’s an awesome place. I recommended highly very clean. Staff is professional awesome and I love my dog she’s terrific. Blessings to them all . 💯👍🏽🙏🏽😍

All I can say is this place admitted having NO management. They put small dogs outside at 93 degrees and Peppy became dehydrated. Tomorrow he is to be tested for organ damage. He can’t keep his food down and he does mother but lay around when he used to be a high strung 12 month old puppy that loved to play with other dogs.

This facility lacks attention to the needs of the pets entrusted to their care. In addition, they charge a high price for boarding services while delivering minimal value. Recommend you keep searching for other long term boarding options for your pet.

Thank you so much to the team at pet suites for caring for our fur babies. They have so many ways to communicate we loved talking with the staff and seeing our fur friends via camera daily. We will be back soon

I called once and texted twice on Monday 10/28 to see if I could bring my 2 dogs to doggie day care on Tuesday. I never heard back, so I had to change my plans for Tuesday. I also had purchased a package and received an email that I was about to lose my "points" ($$ to me) if I didn't use it by 10/30! Well I am not happy as I bring my girls there often and they love it (I hope). We did have 2 storms that also prevented me from trying to use up my package....not sure I will buy another package if the rules are so strict. I would like to have sent a message to a "boss", but this seems to be only way I see to contact PetSuites

I called at 7:30 pm and asked if I got there a few minutes before 8pm(when they close) could I pick up my dogs. I was told no I couldn’t pick them up after 7:30. I know it takes time to get them ready for pick up and that is why I called. So this morning when I went to pick them up I asked when is the latest I could pick them up they said 8. I boarded my dogs because I had a funeral to go to out of state(they didn’t know this) and we have a threat of a hurricane tomorrow so you would think a little grace would be given because of the storm but no. So given the 2 different answers makes me wonder if it’s a training issue or was I lied to?

Groomer Amy is fantastic. We have an Australian terrier named Griffey. We tried many different groomers in the area. Griffey was a very challenging to groom. Initially we had to medicate him on his groom day. Amy worked with him several times and then requested that I not medicate him. That was 1 year ago. He goes in very scruffy and comes home a prince. He also uses the play day services. He plays hard and comes home tired. My husband and I would highly recommend Amy as a groomer and the staff at pet suites

The Ritz Carlton of Doggie Stays! Amy has been great with letting us know what services they can provide for our hard to care for dogs! Thank you for respecting our vacation time and for caring for them so well!

Wanted to follow up on a new review- PetSuites Bradenton has improved dramatically! I am seeing a change in how the staff have stepped up their customer service. Management has made a course correction and it shows. Staff greets customers now (instead of being grumpy all the time). The change is infectious- customers and pets are happy to come over and when I pick up my dog, she’s in a good mood just like when I drop her off. I’m very happy that PetSuites are listening to customers and making those changes stick. I also see that the new team members are attentive and engaging. Makes a big difference when you get team members that actually want to do their job and not act like they’re annoyed by everything.

Just don’t bring your pet here until they have proper staffing. I never leave reviews because I don’t like trashing companies but when it comes to my dogs, that’s a different story. I don’t want other dog owners bringing their dogs here and having a bad experience like I did. Dropped my dogs off yesterday for their first day, one girl working the front desk , line out the door. Not her fault the place doesn’t have adequate staff. Took 25 minutes for check in. This is where I got mad and concerned. I picked them up 6 hours later and asked if they had fun/ played/ ate… the girl said “she had nothing to do with them.” ….what?? Then she brought them out and I asked if they had play time and she said, “I think they went outside, not sure”. I wanted to flip out. So I brought my dogs to a place for them to sit in a kennel for 6 hours…? They got in the car and chugged water so fast. Then I got a text after I reached out to the only person communicating with me throughout the day, TELLING ME THE DAYCARE WAS CLOSED bc of lack of staff!!!!!! I wanted to scream. Just tell me that before so I don’t waste my time driving there!! There were also a ton of dogs howling and crying in the back. I’m glad my dogs are safe but I’m now concerned about all these other dogs there. It was just so chaotic and unprofessional. The groomer was really nice though, she was the only one helping in the morning. I'm waiting for a call from management which I’m not sure is happening. I’m not messing around when it comes to the care of animals.

Our dogs had a great stay. They were happy coming home and smelled clean and fresh. Their weight was well maintained, and had received a good “paw-gress” report. The price was extremely reasonable, and we received an unexpected multi-pet discount. We will continue to choose PetSuites for our future needs.
