Dog Sitters in Palmetto, FL

Michele

Michele is my "go to" for pet and house sitting. Se is so kind and thoughtful and will make sure your pets are well taken care of and loved. She sent me pictures of my two cats and her snuggling and enjoying each other's company. It really gave me a warm feeling , knowing the were loved while I was away. She left my house in order and quite clean. She also ran into a few problems and kindly dealt with them. I will always ask Michele to sit when I'm traveling. She is a real gem!!

Holly & Scott

Holly and Scott are the ideal house-sitters! From the moment I facetimed with them I knew I would have nothing to worry about. I was especially concerned because Sasha had had 15 teeth removed right before I left, but Holly and Scott put me right at ease. They sent me pics and videos of my kitty every day and are great communicators. They stayed at my apartment over the holidays and my heater broke, but they handled communication with the maintenance people and helped to have it fixed within a day! My apartment was cleaner than I left it when I got home, and my kitty was very happy. They also left us some yummy cookies! Open invitation for them to come back any time - it will be tough to find house sitters who will make me feel as worry-free as they did. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Cindy

Cindy was just the right person for our home and our little dog. This was our longest housesit (2.5 months) and her responsible, calm and caring ways assured us that we could focus on our stay abroad and not worry. Cindy was self-sufficient but didn't hesitate to ask if she needed help with anything. We had good communication through WhatsApp. So when the electricity went out (due to a pesky squirrel-RIP) she asked us what she should do. Now I know to add that info to our home packet. She sent us photos and updates about once a week of our dog, the garden, weather, etc. that were reassuring. When we returned home the house was immaculate, the garden well-kept in spite of some very hot weather, and our dog was clearly a happy girl. Cindy used my car for errands and short trips and it too was immaculate. Bonus, she left behind some yummy healthy things in the fridge which we are not letting go to waste! Thank you, Cindy, for everything! She has our highest recommendation and we would welcome her back any time.

Noaa

It was so nice to be able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Noaa was taking great care of our house and pets. She handled our two German shepherds and one cat easily. She sent pictures and kept us updated. We came home and the pets seemed happy and the house was in order. We were gone for a full week and hadn't left our house and pets with anyone besides family before, but we felt at ease after meeting Noaa and knew we could trust her and had nothing to worry about.

Ulrike & Joseph

Ulrike & Joe we're fantastic. Our animals love them, we got daily updates and pictures. We would happily have them back anytime, and we recommend them for other pet sits. Great folks!

Chris

Chris was an absolute delight and stellar performer in both her house sitting and pet care and relationship. She arrived on time, asked excellent questions as to expected duties, and performed each required task to our complete satisfaction. Her rapport and conduct with our three dogs was admirable and above reproach. She is an intelligent and delightful conversationalist and we would highly recommend her to others seeking quality reliable pet and house care. She left our house and her quarters in excellent condition.

Carola

We couldn’t have asked for a better pair to look after Opi while we were on holiday for three weeks. Carola sent regular updates and photos, left our place looking exactly as we left and even kindly bought new toys to keep Opi entertained ! Would happily have her back anytime. Thank you for treating our baby and home with the most respect ❤️

Sanchia

Sanchia was loving and adoring. Took care of our doggies and our home. She was fantastic and friendly. We would love to have her stay again anytime!

Hilary

Hilary was a five star pet and house sitter. Her communication was great both before and during my trip. She was able to meet with me in person prior to the sit to review everything, which I found very helpful. My house was clean and tidy upon my return, and my dog was happy. What more can you ask for? She was also very flexible, as I had a flight cancellation which delayed my return by a full day, and she was able to stay. I would be thrilled to have her come again.

Marisa

We are happy to have met Marisa and Prescott. They are a calm and friendly couple. They took great care of our cat Filemon for 1.5 weeks. Everything with them was perfect. They are great sitters and truly cared for Filemon. They spent a lot of time at home with him which is great for our cat. We could see that Filemon had a great relaxing time with them. They sent us updates every day which made us feel very comfortable while we were away. They left our home very clean and tidy, and we came home to a happy and calm cat. We could really not expect anything more from a sitter and totally recommend Marisa and Prescott to everyone. Thanks again Marisa and Prescott!

Laura

Laura and her daughter were awesome house sitters!! They took our pups down to the river immediately upon their arrival and gave them lots of love each day! We came home to a very clean and tidy home. Laura even went above and beyond to overnight an item I had accidentally left behind! We would have them back anytime.

Ashley

Ashley was a delightful pet sitter for us. She’s a wonderful communicator and clean and tidy. Our dogs got great care and lots of attention.

Kiersten

We went away for quite a long trip and left our home and three kitties in Ashley’s capable hands. While we were away, the temperatures soared, but despite this we still came back to a flourishing garden and green yard. Most importantly, the kitties were very well taken care of. They were happy and healthy when we got back and the house was very clean and organized. It’s so nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house. Ashley sent regular updates and responded quickly. She was very self sufficient and I would absolutely recommend her and use her again! Thanks Ashley!

Sally

Jason was a terrific house and pet sitter. He wanted to talk beforehand to make sure it was a good fit for both of us which I found very helpful. And I came back to a clean house with clean sheets on the bed and a happy cat. I highly recommend him!

Lana

Betsy was very well cared for while I was away.  She seemed happy and content.  Sylvia was a perfect house guest.  I recommend and use her again!

Helen and Stewart

My days at Helen and Stewart's house were wonderful, it was just taking care of the house and its plants, the area where they live is very quiet and beautiful, it is next to the parks, it is perfect for walking in the mornings.  Helen and Stewart organized a lunch to get to know us better and explain to me the care of their home.  Likewise, I enjoyed my days playing the piano every afternoon.  It was very easy to get around on public transportation and it was close to stores for shopping.  Thank you very much for everything Helen and Stewart, I hope you had a beautiful trip and your return home is the best, a thousand blessings 🤍
