About Sharon

15 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My name is Sharon McAllister, and I live in east Bradenton near SR 70/SR 64 and I-75. Like everyone on DogVacay, I'm a total dog lover and a real sucker for their furry little faces. I have had a dog in my life since I was a teenager and currently have 4 of my own that range from 9 pounds to 60 pounds (ages 6 to 14). And if it wasn't for my husband putting his foot down, I'd probably have one or two more. Like most dog owners, I feel like my dogs are part of the family (because, of course, they are!), and if they could talk--I mean, if we could understand them--they'd tell you that they're treated that way. Truth be told, though, they're probably treated better than family, and whenever we bring a new one into the fold, you'll even hear my husband telling them, "You don't know it yet, but you just won the doggy lotto."

I have decided to dog sit outside my home only because my husband and I believe it would be easier on not only your dog, but on ours, as well, since we have so many. But please rest assured and know that just as I'll treat your dog as if he were my own, I'll treat your home the same way. I guarantee that your property and your privacy will be completely respected. I don't smoke, so you don't have to worry that I'll try to corrupt your baby. ;) I do work a full-time job during the week off Fruitville near I-75, but if you're close enough to my office, I'd be able to head home during my lunch hour to give your little one some attention, some time to see to his personal needs, as well as a midday snack. And when I'm not working, my time will be spent doing everything I can to make sure your dog dreads seeing you come home, but only because he's enjoyed his time with me so much! But seriously, I know it's never easy to go away and leave your pet, especially if you're looking at boarding him someplace where he'll be caged up the better part of the day. I hope you'll feel better about leaving him knowing he's happier being in his own environment surrounded by the things that he loves and that comfort him, and that he's in excellent and loving hands.

So whether you have a dog who suffers with separation anxiety and you just need someone to calm him with a little Rescue Remedy and some attention while you go out for a few hours, or whether you need someone to stay with him while you go on a much-needed vacation, I hope you'll give me the opportunity to meet you both so that I can put your mind at ease about leaving him with me. I promise that as soon as you do, you will know he couldn't be in better hands.

If you decide to book with me--and I hope you do!-- and you have more than one dog, be sure and contact me before booking so that I can send you a custom quote. I only charge $5 for each additional dog, whereas DogVacay is going to charge you $35 for each dog.

Thank you so much for reading my profile. If you have any questions or concerns at all, please don't hesitate to share them with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pooch or pooches soon!

This was my first experience with DogVacay and therefore with Sharon. I needed a night where I didn't have to worry about my dog and Logan relaxed with her not long after I left. He slept and was taken out and therefore I had no messes to come home to. Sharon is great with animals, and very understanding to the needs of a high anxiety dog. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to take a night out or go away for the weekend.

About Erica

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I have one dog, Lily, who just turned 11. She is very friendly and quite energetic for her age. I do have experience with multiple dogs. One of my dogs passed away 1 year ago so would love to care for you pets and I am sure Lily would love to have some dog friends again! Lily has a lot of anxiety, so I am very comfortable with special needs and administering medicine. Let me know if you have any special requests and I will try to accommodate them! Look forward to hearing from you and your pet!

She is outstanding. She shows Teddi all the love we do and more. He is so excited when she comes. I appreciate how well she takes care of him and our house. We are so spoiled having her . The only down side is she is so popular sometimes we cant get her! Thanks Vanessa..Marlene and Richard Focht

This was the first time Vanessa stayed overnight with our 4 dogs, and it was such a comfort to know that they were in her loving and capable care. She even offered to help in other ways while she was there, such as getting the mail, watering plants, walking the dogs. We couldn't ask for a more capable and nicer person to stay with our furry kids!

Had an opportunity for a weekend getaway and luckily Vanessa was available. She sent lots of pictures and videos of our brood being goofy and playful. I feel so relaxed going away knowing that Vanessa is taking care of my babies.
Another great experience with Vanessa watching Evie! Evie always looks forward to her playtime pal and loves all the attention she gets when Vanessa comes over to play.

Vanessa is so wonderful with Evie and didn't bat an eye when I told her we added 2 little kittens to our house.

Her laid-back and calm nature is really comforting to our pets when we have to travel and I believe that this lowers their stress level when we're gone. Sometimes I actually think they are depressed when I get back and she has to leave!

Vanessa continues to exceed my expectations with her level of professionalism and dedication she has to the care and treatment of my 14 year old Lab Evie.

She always keeps me informed via photos, videos and texts when necessary.

I feel very fortunate to have found her and have peace of mind leaving Evie in her care when I travel.

This was my second reservation with Vanessa and I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with the care and attention she gave my pup.

Vanessa is a consummate professional always providing updates and pictures.

It is such a pleasure and to have found Vanessa and have peace of mind when I have to travel.

I highly recommend her and look forward to continued use of her services.

This was my first time using Dog Vacay and Vanessa and I couldn't be happier! Vanessa provided wonderful dog sitting services for my 14 year old Lab in my home and was professional, caring & loving to my doggie.

She was very prompt in her responses and provided daily updates and pictures.

Her experience in caring for dogs is evident immediately when she got down on the floor and played with my dog them by giving her a chance to come to her and get comfortable.

I highly recommend Vanessa and look forward to using her services again in the future.

We had Vanessa come to our home to take care of our dog and cat for the weekend. Vanessa seems to have a true love for animals. I feel confident they were well cared for and happy while I was gone.

About Rachel

12 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
When I was a teenager, I frequently walked dogs and dog/cat sat for friends. My church members always chose me to take care of their pets when they went away.

I've had the pleasure of being owned by several cats and dogs since I was a child. I have recently had the privilege of working as an Animal Care Specialist at a non-profit shelter in Manatee County. I plan to stay in the field as a volunteer dog walker and cat cuddler. I have also volunteered as pet transport for various dogs.

Additionally, I have stayed overnight at several coworkers' homes and watched their dogs, cats, and even rabbits!

I enjoy being outside and would love to take your dog to the dog beach and to various nature trails, such as Robinson Preserve and De Soto Point. I also enjoy the air conditioning on these humid Florida days and would love to snuggle up on the couch and watch a good movie with your dog!

About Heidi

5 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My name is Heidi. I'm 32 years old and a mother to many; including my 6 year old son Caleb, two dogs Penny and Betty, and two cats Sephia and Skittles. All the animals get along with each other famously including the little human :)
Our pets also are very good with other animals as well.
I am a very loving, compassinate and gentle person and have had animals my entire life. I do have a full-time job at a pediatric dental office, I have been employed there for 8 years. I work Monday-Thursday 7:30am to 5:00pm (I can make a stop to check in on your pet during my lunch break if distance allows) and I work Fridays from 8:00am - 12:00pm. I'm off from the dental office on the weekends.
If your pet(s) were to come and stay at my house I have a 3 bedroom house (1,200 Sq. ft.) and a HUGE backyard! They are free to roam the house and sleep wherever their little hearts desire unless you prefer otherwise.
I am looking forward to this new journey and making new friends along the way!

About Jennifer

21 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My husband and I have both taken care of dogs our entire lives. We know it's difficult to leave your furbaby in someone else's care.

That's why we do our very best to make you and your pup feel completely comfortable in our care. We both work from home- so we take lots of walks and have lots of cuddle & doggy play time.

We have a super-friendly miniature Australian Shepherd who loves to play with new doggy pals. If your dog is shy, we can gate our dog off until they make friends. Also, we know what it's like to miss your pooch and wonder how he or she's doing while you're away, so we send photos and quick videos as often as you'd like. While we certainly can't REPLACE you, we do make sure your pup is as happy and safe as possible while you're away!
