About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.

About: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I also helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 3 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 3 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. For those looking for a house sitter, I can work from your house during the day to give your pups all the attention them need. I also don’t need to stay over night if you’d feel more comfortable with me leaving late and returning early in the morning. Just let me know! I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.

“Jennifer was awesome! I had a last minute stay because a friend bailed on me. She came in was dependable and reliable and kept me up to date.”

About: Growing up surrounded by 3 dogs and various small animals, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for caring for our furry friends. From grooming, to walks, feeding, and providing love, animal care has always felt second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and my own dog’s unique needs—extreme separation anxiety—have deepened my understanding and compassion for pets with special requirements. In addition to my dog care experience, I’ve also cared for a variety of small animals, including fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and even ducks! I believe every animal deserves love and attention, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Professionally, I work as an Executive Assistant, where I manage schedules, coordinate logistics, and handle high levels of responsibility and organization every day. That same reliability, attention to detail, and communication carries over into the care I provide for pets and their owners. I understand how important trust and consistency are when leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. My commitment to animal welfare extends beyond pet care. I’ve actively volunteered at shelters and organized food drives to support animals in need. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy but also passionate about providing the best care for your beloved pets, I’m here to help. I work in St. Pete about 3-4 times a week in office and work from home in Tampa the other days. My schedule is flexible. For the weekends I have no set commitments making me extremely flexible. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pets and your home. I always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed carefully, and your space is kept clean, safe, and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.

“Michele is our go-to sitter for Sophie. She is kind, patient, thorough with my instructions and leaves my apartment is great condition. My dog is always happy and well cared for when I come home and I can’t ask for more than that. Thank you Michele!”

“Rachel stepped in on a very short notice since I had to leave for a family medical emergency. Snum absolutely loves Rachel. She is so helpful, trustworthy and easy to communicate with. Can’t thank her enough.”

Siri R.

“Joanna was amazing caring for our pups and home while we were away for a week. She was incredibly meticulous with her level of care, especially with our temperamental senior pup and overzealous younger pup that tries to be the alpha. Joanna was great with communication and we would love to hire her again and again. 10 out of 10 stars!”

Christine R.

“I was so nervous to leave my dogs with a stranger for the first time but Patricia was everything I could have asked for. She was very professional and even came over to meet the dogs before hand. She sent me pictures everyday of my pets which made me feel so much better. I would definitely use her again!”

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.

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

Nikki B.

“I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.”

Iga S.

“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”

About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.

About: I grew up in a large family surrounded by different pets, which gave me early experience caring for animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Animals naturally gravitate toward me and tend to feel comfortable around me. I’ve also cared for pets for friends, giving me experience with dogs and cats of different ages I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy caring for animals. I’m comfortable looking after both puppies and larger pets, following routines, and providing extra care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work part time, allowing me plenty of time to play with your pets, give them attention, and make sure they feel happy and cared for. I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in yours, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe, comfortable environment, and I make sure pets feel secure and happy while I’m with them. I also take pets on walks, play with them, and follow any routines or instructions you provide
