Bradenton is a wonderful place to be a pet. Dogs here get daily walks, parks, and friendly neighbors, and cats get plenty of sunny windows. When you’re at work, traveling, or just stretched thin, Veteran Pet Care keeps that good life going at home. We’re a veteran-owned, bonded and insured pet sitting business based in Bradenton, and we care for pets all over Bradenton.
Veteran Pet Care brings veteran-owned, bonded and insured pet sitting and dog walking to Bradenton homes. We walk dogs along the Bradenton Riverwalk, on the trails at Robinson Preserve and around G.T. Bray Park, home of the Laurie Crawford Dog Park. If your pets are happiest at home, we offer in-home visits, overnights and pet taxi rides across West Bradenton, Palma Sola and downtown. Call (941) 209-2653 to set up a meet-and-greet.
In-Home Pet Sitting in Bradenton
Pet sitting is the heart of what we do. Instead of a kennel, your pets stay home with their own beds, their own yard, and their own routine. During our visits we:
- Serve meals and refresh water
- Give medications, including subcutaneous (SQ) fluids
- Walk, play, and give lots of one-on-one attention
- Send you photos and videos after every visit
Heading out of town? Our overnight pet sitting runs from 7pm to 7am, so your pet has company all night long.
Daily Dog Walks Around Bradenton
Our daily dog walks give your pup a midday break, some exercise, and time to sniff around the routes they already love. That might be a loop around your neighborhood, a visit to a nearby park, or a stretch of sidewalk close to home.
Running errands, out for the evening, or working a long day? We’ll take care of the walk, so your dog is happy and tired when you get home.
Pet Taxi for Bradenton Pets
Busy week? We’ll drive your pet to the vet, the groomer, or daycare, and bring them home again.
