“Olivia is very responsive. We had her meet our pup several times because he doesn’t adjust to new people very well. She has so much experience with taking care of and being around animals, that we felt very comfortable leaving her with him. He adjusted well and actually slept with her (big kuddos from the pup).”



“Blair home sat Lacey and followed our care instructions, which are a complex because of what and how we feed her. The house was also tidy. Blair communicates well and has a pleasant manor and kind demeanor. We'd would have liked daily pictures but still recommend Blair wholeheartedly.”


“Angela did a wonderful job. She was reliable, communicative, sent pictures and did awesome with our 3 animals. We returned to a clean house and happy puppies. 😊 we'll definitely be making her our regular sitter when we head out of town. Thanks Angela!”


“Haley took care of our pets and we appreciated all the photos while we were away. It allowed us to feel at ease knowing they were ok and she was able to spend some time with them, especially our pup who cannot be left out of the cage when alone.”


“She was amazing with my pets! She took them on walks everyday, to the pet park, and made sure to send me daily end of the day updates on everything they did! I’ve never felt more safe for my pets while leaving, i’m usually nervous about leaving them but now that I have Taylor I feel so good that i’m leaving them in good hands!”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Sara take care of my dog and two cats over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the service she provided. She was punctual, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my pets were well taken care of. She followed all of my instructions to the letter and even sent me regular updates on how my pets were doing, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”


About: I recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.

“Carolina was an amazing sitter and took such great care of my dog and my apartment. So trustworthy and such a sweet girl. Will definitely be booking her again!!!”


About: I treat every dog like family, providing a safe, loving, and playful environment. I focus on personalized care, constant attention, and consistent routines for comfort. I am a student taking remote classes, which means I’m home most of the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and regular bathroom breaks. I follow your pet’s routine closely, offer a calm and safe environment, and make sure they feel loved and secure while you're away. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and sleeping routines to help reduce stress. I offer plenty of playtime, cuddles, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure the pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you're away.

“When I needed someone on fairly short notice to keep my dogs, Karin came through and was the perfect sitter. It’s obvious she cares for my dogs just as much as I do, and I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks Karin for taking great care of my dogs!”
