The Bougie Pet Sitter

It's ruff out there but he still wants to be in the heat! Lots of toweling off from the rain, shade available but still wants to sun, enjoying extra indoor time with his buddies and gearing up for a busy month of pet sitting adventures!

People often ask me what I charge for in-home pet sitting. Just like a boarding facility/ resort, it's not a one-size-fits-all (age, breed, etc. matter). I do a meet and greet in your home, ask questions (like number of walks & meals per day, medications, any special needs, likes and dislikes, activities…), spend time with your pet(s), and answer your questions, before providing a rate. Photos below give an example of what a pet resort south of Sarasota charges, which is less than the downtown area. Walks are extra. So is 1:1 time. Play times are with other animals at the resort, which some dogs love but for others can be scary. I do what you normally do, so if your dog loves to see friends in the neighborhood or at the dog park, we do that. Typically, all that I provide would cost between $160 and $200 per day at a resort. I charge between $85 and $130, additional pets slightly more. This allows for your pet to be in the comfort of their own space with all of their things, doing all of their usual activities. I'm also with them through thunderstorms and any health issues that might arrise. You receive photos/videos every few days up to twice a day, depending on your preference. Of course they receive a "tuck in" at night and plenty of snuggles, or just me nearby, at no extra charge 😉 DM me if you'd like to arrange a meet up at least a few weeks, if not months, prior to your trip. Please provide a reference. I have clients you can ask about me. Home services while you are away are available à la cart. 🐾🐾

Looking for someone over 21, responsible and available in Sarasota/nearby to join my team. I've lost a couple pet sitters who have moved away. This is an opportunity to care for amazing animals, mostly dogs, in beautiful homes for wonderful clients. Perfect for someone who works remote/retired and only leaves for short periods of time. Stays are from two nights to around two weeks (I can usually cover the rest if longer). This needs to be someone that I know or at least we have friends in common. Need to be here during summer, it's a busy time! Pay depends on breed and needs, how many, etc. and we will discuss. Obviously must love all animals. DM me, please!
