Pet Sitters in Venice, FL

Anna

Anna and Rick were great pet sitters and Huey really enjoyed their company. They managed his feeding and tablet regime, and we was very well looked after and loved whilst we were away. Communication was great throughout, and they sent regular updates about what Huey was up to. They were perfect house guests, leaving our home clean and tidy with nothing to do when we got back from holiday. We would happily have them back! I'm sure Huey would love to see them again too!

Christi & Jay

What a lovely family, they really cared for our pets and home and overcame some unexpected problems with great communication and determination. We can highly recommend them as sitters and now consider them good friends

Olga

This was the second time Olga helped me with my pets. No known issues first time. This time, she was to pet sit my cat & lizard for a week. She diligently sent photos every couple of days & remained in touch. Upon return, I messaged her I was nearly home. No response. The cat was somewhat frantic and clingy, which was odd. The house was as we left it. Still no response from Olga. I locked myself out the following day and when scrolling through the smart home records to reset the lock, it seems Olga stayed a few hours after I left for the week, then left herself, not to return until the day we got back, then for about 30 min and gone again. Explains frantic cat, which thankfully was not dead cat. Lastly, did not return a $50 garage RFID, despite being asked before I left and reviving two texts after I returned, requesting it back.

Lisa

I can't say enough good things about Lisa -- truly. First and foremost, our pets LOVE her (and they don't love everyone, believe me). And also very importantly, she provides my husband and me with incredible peace of mind, which is saying something with our aging pets. Our 14-year-old dog started to have some tummy troubles while we were gone, and not only did Lisa take it completely in stride, but when she realized we were using the same tummy soothers she uses with her pups, she brought over some extras for us to have on hand. When I expressed that I was sorry she had to deal with a couple of accidents, her very kind response was, "It's not 'dealing with.' She's fine!" And she was right -- later on, she sent some beautiful photos of both my girls, and they were not just fine, but looked super happy. I've said it before, and I truly mean it. Lisa is WONDERFUL. She's amazing with our pets, she's completely trustworthy, she's communicative but self-sufficient, and we always come home to a clean and tidy house when she's been minding the zoo. We'll definitely be booking her again if she's available!

Samantha

Samantha provided amazing care for my little dog and cat! She communicated well, and sent photos while I was away to show me how well my pets were doing. My dog Shadow is quite shy, but Samantha must have a magic touch and she seemed to get comfortable quite quickly. The house was in perfect condition when I returned. I would love to have Samantha back again!

Stephanie & Red

Stephanie & Red were outstanding!!! We came back to an incredibly clean home and very happy animals. They even left us a gift! Truly above and beyond. I would recommend them to anyone.

Judith

Jude and her partner took good care of our home, pets and livestock in terrible weather, which was probably difficult. We appreciate their help.

Rebecca & William

Fantastic! Rebecca and Will were exceptional. My kitty was well cared for and so happy when I returned.

Tanya & Jim

Tanya and Jim came to take care of our house and our cat for the third time. We have the feeling that each experience is nicer than the previous one They have been extremely flexible on dates, took a great care of Honey and our house, shared very frequent news with us accompanied with incredible pictures... we also had great time together, sharing a much and a dinner in Biot village and Tanya had prepared us some of her fantastic specialties when we came back. Each experience is more delightful than the previous ones, we can only very warmly recommend Tanya and Jim !

Stephen & Valerie

Val and Stephen were wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. They are very friendly, patient, clean, communicative, and really cared for my pets and plants. My one cat was trying to outsmart them with the food she wanted, but they honored my wishes and in the end my cat ate how she should. They also were very easy going when my A/C broke towards the end of their trip. I felt terrible they had to deal with the heat, but they were very gracious about it. Overall, they are great people and I’d highly recommend selecting them as your pet sitter!

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!

Helen Ann

I really enjoyed meeting Helen Ann and would like to use her again. She was very easy to get along with and understood instructions easily. She was even willing to wash the dog.

Dan

We loved staying and looking after Milo. Dan and Lissie made us very welcome and communication was excellent throughout. Thank you!

Larisa

It was a real pleasure to meet Larisa and Richard and to take care of their lovely home and cat. We had so much pleasure and fun looking after Socks the cat. She is very talkative and lets you know exactly what she wants and loves chasing her toy mouse on a string and exploring the neighbouring gardens. The house is well located for both public transport and shopping and exploring London.  Larisa and Richard were most welcoming and very generous with their hospitality making for a very happy house sit.

Helen

Helen and Tom are such kind couple. I went to their house prior to the sit and they explained everything to me. Tom even showed me how to use the generator in case of emergency power outage. He set everything up for me so so I had to do was just to plug in the power… so kind of him!
Their house is in a beautiful area with breathtaking views. Clean and comfy.
And here is to Simone. She is just the most loving, playful little dog. She listens to what you ask of her so well and she is just such a little cute ball when she lies with you in bed. I loved my time with Simone. Our walks were so delightful and we had great conversations during our walks together ::))
If you know you know 🐾🐶💖
Highly recommend! 
Will come back anytime!

Jacob

We loved looking after Bruce in beautiful Perthshire. He loved our outings and snuggled with us on the settee at night. We did several long walks with him and he was great on the lead.

Jake and Freddy's home is in a perfect location with beautiful walks straight from the door, and lots to see and do in the area. We even saw deer in the garden on a couple of occasions.

We would love to return in the future and would highly recommend this sit to others.

Annie

We thoroughly enjoyed  our stay here! Tink and Marley were a pleasure to look after, they are so easy going, friendly and love cuddles! The canal was a lovely place to take them for a walk and the house was great too. Annie and her family are lovely and we wouldn't hesitate in coming back again. Thanks for having us to stay :)

Priscilla

Both of these dogs were so great to watch! They were very sweet and well behaved. Priscilla was a great host and available for communication during my stay!
