About: I've grown up around pets and taken care of pets from friends, neighbors, and family. I am dedicated to treating your pets as my own! I currently take college classes online and work part-time, so I can ensure that I can provide your pets with whatever time they may need. I have had pets my whole life, so I am patient and consistent, and definitely not a stranger to playtime, cuddles, walks, baths, and feeding schedules.
“Cynthia was so sweet with our pup. She was on time and reliable and kept us up to date with notes about her visits. We could tell our pup was well cared for while we were away!”

About: First time in my life I have not owned a dog, I have been a go to for friends when they need a sitter for years. I would love to share my love for animals with your critters : ) I’ve owned aggressive dogs, nervous/insecure dogs, had between 1 and 6 in the house at a time, raised pups from as young as 8 weeks, love training and am happy to continue working on whatever it is you need from fun/cute tricks to muzzle/crate training. I work from home every day but Thursdays, my office is dog friendly and usually has 2-5 dogs each day. If your dog is more comfortable in an enclosed office I can take one but typically work in the open office setting where they can be free to visit coworkers and play with other pups or be tied to my desk to keep a closer eye. Can also stay home most of the time if you are more comfortable with them staying in my home. Love a morning walk to start my day, enclosed backyard so they can have quick bathroom access whenever needed. In my home pets are welcome to hang on my bed next to my desk while I work and look out the window, have 1 dog bed and blankets for comfortable floor time or space for a crate. Whatever is most comfortable for your pet. Pretty typical routine, I work 9-6 with an hour for lunch whenever is convenient. Usually up around 7am and winding down by 10-11pm
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just providing some loving company, I treat every pup like family. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. My availability is pretty open so I’ll be giving plenty of attention and belly rubs for your pups! Availability: Mon-Sun (All Week!) Times are flexible 😊 I have a spacious fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby of my own to keep your pups company! There will be plenty of living room space, comfy spots for the pups to snuggle up in, and safe toys to play with! There will always be readily available water for the pups whenever they need.
About: Hi there! I’ve loved animals since I was 8 and grew up on a farm surrounded by furry (and feathery!) friends. I have tons of experience and super flexible hours while I search for my next career — perfect for giving your pets all the love they deserve! I am free all day everyday currently as I’m new to Tampa and am working to start my career in real estate. Just looking to make some connections and extra cash! Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes every pet deserves patience, love, and comfort. My care style is gentle, attentive, and full of affection — I always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy rescue cat, I make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. 🐾 Both my dog and cat are rescues, so I know how important trust and consistency are. They sleep inside at night, have regular vet checkups, and get plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I care for every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, warmth, and a big heart. 💕
About: *I am allergic to cats so they must be a hypoallergenic breed. I have experience with the breeds of Siberian and Russian Blue.* I grew up with a beagle/black lab mix, and a bearded collie. I learned dogs are so precious and so good to humans! I got my own personal dog, bichon frise/shih tzu mix, thru a rescue in 2009 and had 13 amazing years with him, road tripping, outings, and everyone who met him, loved him. In the later years, he had health problems, requiring eye drops and medication multiple times per day. I put him down in June 2022 and I'm not in a spot to have another dog full time, so I thought this would be a good way to fill my void. I have lived with people who've had labs, pit mixes and Yorkies. I love playing with a dog, taking them for walks, and just hanging out. They relieve my stress so it's a mutually beneficial relationship! I hope you would not mind if I treated your dog as my own, talking to them and telling them I love them! I am currently not working so i'm happy to accommodate any schedules! Dogs are "just" a part of our lives, but to them, we are their whole life. The commitment to care, feeding, walking and love is not one to take lightly. The client would be factored into my schedule before anything else (gym, social life). I live on the 2nd floor in an apartment complex. There are carpeted floors. I would love to have your dog curled up on my couch or bed if thats something you allow (don't want to send mixed signals if it's not.) If you crate your dog, that would need to be provided. When I have sat or walked for others, a meet & greet is required to learn where all the stuff needed for care is in the house. I am more than happy to hang out with your dog in your house, or have them come to mine.
“Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”

About: I’ve had many dogs in my life ranging from Shih Tzu’s to Australian Shepherds and German Shepherds. I enjoy walking my Aussie and playing fetch with her in South Tampa regularly. My wife and I both work from home. We will always be with your dog while they’re staying with us. I love staying active and enjoy long walks—your dog will be the perfect companion for my daily exercise routine! I have a fenced yard at my home in the South Tampa and I have a playful Australian Shepherd. I enjoy being outside with my dog.
About: Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life - everything from big, playful labs, to small dachshunds and terriers. I’ve always been the go-to sitter for friends and neighbors, and I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so your pup will get plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. As a distance runner, I’m also happy to take high-energy dogs on longer walks or runs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I can give pets attention throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and adjust my work hours around their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of playtime and affection, and that their space stays clean and tidy.
About: As a dog and cat mom, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I’ll care for your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and at home while under my care. I work fully remote with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to fit pet care into my days. I’d love to spend my free time giving animals attention, walks, and cuddles. It’s the best part of my routine! For drop-in visits, I make sure your pets get the essentials—fresh food, water, potty breaks, and lots of love. I always spend extra time giving them play, snuggles, or whatever makes them happiest. On walks, I focus on keeping your pup safe, comfortable, and exercised, while giving them plenty of attention along the way. My goal is to make sure they feel cared for and you feel at ease while you’re away.
About: I am responsible reliable and trust worthy not only with your pets but in your home. My experience with multiple dog breeds over the years have provided me the tools needed to care and love on all breeds from Germans and pitties to yorkies and chihuahuas.. I’ve loved and worked with them all I have a love for animals like no other . I have tons of spare time during the days when most people need the extra help. My job allows me flexibility with my schedule so I’m open to spending my time hanging out with fur babies all day I live in Tommy’s house . I’m also his support hooman. Tommy is king of the castle with all the kisses and loves . I’ll love yours like it’s mine
