Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!

Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.

Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Ann
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Carol
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Brandon & Travis
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.

I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Natalie
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!

Our Mr Chester has happily called Beverly Hills Dog his "home away from home" for almost 10 years, no matter if his stay is only for a few hours or for 3 weeks. He runs in barking with the anticipation of playing with new friends and comes home to us just as happily. Clearly he is loved by the staff and well taken care of. The excellent care at Beverly Hills has allowed us the freedom to travel knowing that Mr Chester is having a good time as well. Thank goodness for Beverly Hills Dog!
We were visiting Sarasota for a week and need a spot for our Pug for a day. I called to check availability and services available and they were extremely friendly and helpful. After my local veterinarian sent vaccination records, they promptly called me back and said we were good to go. My Pug seemed very happy when we picked him up and went home and slept. He was tired from playing all day. They also sent home a picture for his first day of day care. If you are in need of day care and or grooming, I highly recommend Beverly Hills Dog. They are located on south side of Sarasota right off 41. Also very close to Siesta Key.
My dog's day care place. She loves it. Great staff, very friendly and competent. Puppy had her first grooming here which was a huge sucess.
I have been taking my shih tzu, Teddy, to Beverly Hills Dog since we moved here in 2019. Teddy and I both love this place and he is always so happy to go! I have used their day care, boarding and grooming service, all of which are excellent! You can feel good when you leave your dog with the outstanding and caring staff.
I love this place! We met the owner over 10 years ago when she started in a parking lot, we have recently moved to the area from Chicago. She saw us with our dog, and when our dog saw her (the owner) that was loved at first sight. Since then we have been taking our dog to Beverly Hills Dog, the entire staff is super friendly. We love Diane too! They understand his breed and the type of haircut that's best for our dog. Their care is absolutely professional and compassionate. Highly recommended! Thank you for taking good care of our lovely dog.
Fantastic in many ways! Don't let the name sway you, more affordable then any chain. The best part is they really seem to care about your dog. Genuine
Friendly staff and priced well. My pomsky had a great time at daycare. A nice little place to take your pup for a day of fun.
Jazzy is our 14 year old Cockapoo who has been boarding there on & off her entire life & still enjoys going for play dates & the occasional bath. This facility has grown over the years but when Jazzy shows up she still gets the royal treatment. Thank you all for your caring support for her fun times there.
I had Cody to several different dog groomers in Sarasota Florida and some were abusive, unprofessional and I would end up in the Vets office after my dog Cody’s experience. I have finally found Beverly Hills Dog Grooming and feel blessed. Cody looked beautiful, relaxed and happy. Diana at the desk was welcoming and professional making me feel relaxed. I feel so lucky to finally find a place for Cody after so many groomers failed to make him feel secure and safe. Thank you Beverly Hills Dog for taking care of my baby. See you every 6 weeks!
My dog, Lily has been going to the day care for over 2 years. She gets so excited when I tell her we are going to see the "doggies". She runs out of the car to the front door in excitement. They do a great job on bathing and trimming as well.

We have been so blessed to find Tami and her beautiful home. We visit Sarasota often and we're so lucky to find her over a year ago. She is wonderful with our baby and I would recommend her to anyone! Love love love
I returned to work post pandemic and was nervous about having to put our little mini jack in doggie daycare. After having met Tami and her husband and seeing how much care and attention they give the dogs in their care It put us at ease. fast forward two months later and our little guy is always super excited to go and spend that day running around and socializing with the other dogs. They treat all the dogs as if they are their own. I’m so happy I found them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great place to board your little dogs.
We had a last-minute need to leave town for a family situation & needed someone to care for our chihuahua. Thank goodness we found Tami! Immediately upon meeting her & entering her home, I knew we had found the solution, not only for now, but for any of our dog-sitting needs in the future. She is very obviously a dog loving person, who understands dogs & their needs. During our trip, she regularly sent us updates on how our dog was doing, often including videos & photos. Thanks Tami! We’ll be back!
We don't drop off our pride and Joy (Rocco) until next Saturday (09-18) but if Tami is as pleasant and professional in person (and I have no doubts) as she has been in setting everything up, then we are already convinced we selected the right place for Rocco!' How good it is to share something good for a change about a business instead of something negative! It feels so refreshing being treated as a an individual person instead of just another consumer. Will update my review after picking up Rocco after our trip, but to anyone looking for quality, professionalism and compassion in a company... this one gets 5 stars.... but deserves 10! Thanks Tami!
We left our 2 Yorkie’s with Tammi while visiting the west coast of Florida and couldn’t be happier with the care that they received. Despite the fact that there were several dogs at the house it was clean and surprisingly quiet. The process was run like a well oiled machine. Our dogs were as happy and healthy when we picked them up as when we dropped them off. Thank you Nutz for Mutz! We will be bringing our babies back the next time we come to the area!!
We were on vacation with our Maltese who couldn’t come to the beach, and he had a great time at this place. They took such wonderful care of our dog and we’re so very grateful!
Tami has kept my pets while I went on vacation and I never once had to worry about their care and safety. I highly recommend Nutz For Mutz!
Their love for dogs is apparent. Your dog will be well cared for and endlessly happy. Sometimes to the point they don't want to go home. Highly recommend!
What a sham. We Showed up as scheduled and confirmed, she never answered door, never answered phone. Aggravating waste of time.
Great with dogs Very thoughtful

Jim has been a life saver with my 2 dogs - each with their own personality and quirks. Even the most finicky and elderly of the 2 took an immediate liking to Jim, which was such a beautiful thing to witness! Jim is great with sending photos and updates. He’s always upbeat, friendly and professional. He’s been available to book in advance and even those short notice schedule changes that pop up! So grateful to have found Jim!
Jim was great at communicating with us while he watched our cat! He was also kind enough to run to the store when she ran low on kitty litter. He did a great job keeping our sweet kitty happy while we were gone. He did all her favorite activities with her! Jim’s services were just what we needed while we were gone for a whole week. He not only takes great care of your pets, but does a great job of keeping an eye on your home. Will definitely use again!
We had such a great experience with Jim! Our dog Bailey can be shy and skittish, and she warmed up easily to Jim upon our first meeting. It was so nice to receive pictures of our dog on their walks, and we were truly at ease knowing she was in Jim’s care! We highly recommend Toby’s Top Dog Walking and will be using again in the future!
Toby's Top Dog took excellent care of my dog while I was away on vacation. My dog does best boarding in someone's home rather than a larger boarding facility. Their personal care and her being part of their family while we were away allowed us to really relax knowing she was happy and not stressed. Jocelyn and Jim were responsive, reliable, available and gave us lots of updates. It's good to know we can count on them to take care of our pup when we aren't able to take her with us.
Jim, Jocelyn and their daughter are amazing and wonderful! We had to board our 5 year old dog for the very first time and they were absolutely wonderful. Not only did they have me bring all his comfort items, they made me feel so comfortable and reassured about leaving my dog for the first time. They sent me pictures of him every day whether he was relaxing on their couch, laying in the sun in their backyard or playing with their daughter. Extremely compassionate and loving dog people. Highly recommend if you want your dog in good hands!
Don't PAWS on booking with Toby's Top Dog! They took such great care of our girl when we went out of town. Super communicative, and really attentive to our dog's behavior and needs. We were so sad they relocated. Your fur babies will be well cared for.
Jim and his family recently pet sat for our two puppies for two weeks. Great experience. One of our dogs is very anxious and Jim was very good with handling her. Would highly recommend.
My dog bear has loves going here!!! he literally flys out of the car to get to the door and receives the best care!!! I highly recommended Toby’s !!! also love getting pics of my baby when I’m away makes me feel good he’s getting so much love and care ❤️
Jim is the best around! My pup Josie looks forward to his daily visit! Jim is reliable, trustworthy and flexible. I am happy to have Toby’s Top Dog Walking for Josie!!
Toby's Top Dog Walking service is fantastic. Our dog, Riggins, lights up with excitement each time that Jim comes to the door to take him out. Service has always been fantastic and I can't express enough how friendly and accommodating Jim has been. We are moving out of service and this is by far our greatest loss!

We have used Fur Nanny several times over the last few months to take care of our cat and would highly recommend them. It gives us a great comfort to know that he will be well-cared for when we are gone. He is a bit shy, but they try really hard to get him to play. You can tell how much they care. :)
Very easy company to work with. All pet sitters genuinely care about your pets as if they were their own. Very responsive owner and pet sitters. They tailor the care of your pets personally to your preferences and pets' needs.
The team at FurNannies is absolutely amazing! With 2 fur babies and 1 having separation anxiety, I knew I had to find a dog sitter that could come to our home for them. FurNannies has proven a God send for us and I cannot thank them enough for all they do! My puppies are always well taken care of. FurNannies always go above and beyond !! Thank you FurNannies🙏🙏🙏❤️
I use them every time I go out of town, they’re awesome! I love the picture updates of my kitties and bunny hanging out with them
My elderly mother was not able to deal with her cat’s litter box, and Emily’s help was really wonderful. I live long-distance from my mom, and really needed someone I could depend on to help her out. I’m so glad I found Fur Nanny – Emily responded quickly and took care of everything, for a very reasonable cost. Now I know who to turn to for cat care. Great service!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!
Fur Nanny has been absolutely the best cat care we have ever had. They are professional and take pictures and write a synopsis of every visit. We have never worried about our 4 cats anytime we've had to leave them. And the prices are so reasonable! We love them!!!
My parents have used Emily at Fur Nanny’s for a few years now and have had wonderful experiences. We used their services ourselves the first time for a quick 3 day trip. We have 1 dog and 3 cats. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Fur Nanny. They provided very detailed reports and photos on each visit. They stayed for the full agreed amount of time and ensured all animals received attention and were fed and watered. Loved how they do the initial meet and greet to ensure the pets are familiar with them. We will definitely be using their services again and highly recommend their service’s!
I have been using Fur Nanny for years and they take great care of my cat. Online scheduling is easy and I get a great update each visit with pix and notes on how she’s doing. I had a flight cancellation last year and needed a last minute extra visit and they were fantastic with that even during the holidays. My cat is always relaxed when I return home!
We have used Emily and her staff to take care of our cat for over 6 years. We love to travel and it would not be possible without our Fur Nannies!! When we are away, we get full email reports and photos every day of our very spoiled and happy kitty! Fur Nanny is the best!
Emily and her team were Amazing!!! They were professional, caring and loving. They watched our little dog and spoiled him! We had daily updates and photos of him walking playing eatting the works. They changed and cleaned the water and food bowls, brought in mail, took out trash and loved and played with our little dog. It was his first time alone and now we have a babysitter for life! Thanks Fur Nannies now we can travel worry free.

I was really impressed each time I brought my cat to be boarded at the All Pet's motel. They separate the cat room from the dog kennel. Sherri gives a personal attention all the pets. She plays and grooms the cats out of their cage each day and really get to know them.
All Pets Motel is totally different. I was amazed. All Pets Mote was closed for a year of remodeling. The kennel is completely remodeled ( I would guess sever hundred thousand dollars). and the care is superb. You have to see it to believe it. I am a real dog loving customer,, not paid for writing this.
Amazing place been going there for years. These folks really CARE about our pets. Sherry is truly a caring person. Thanks all of you Clark and Susan Dawson. LULU, BLAKE, COTY, BOB, MOSES!!!
My Dog Nash is very energetic and loves this place! we can go away for a few days with the peace of mind and know that he is having a blast running around with his friends
Best care of my pet. Sherri is great.
Excellent boarding for our dog.
Beautiful place

I dropped off my two 7 month old French Bulldogs and was a complete nervous wreck to leave my babies for the first time. I let Melanie know my concerns and she has gone above and beyond to keep me posted with phone calls, texts, and photos. Melanie is AMAZING and I would recommend anyone to bring their fur babies to stay with her,
They do not return phone calls or emails.
Great place to leave your pet in good hands. The people there love and care for your animals like they aren't your own.
Great business with great pet sitters. Love what they do and it shows
Thank you Wendy for taking excellent care of my boy Duke!
