“Felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their hands. They sent me pots of every visit. But most of all my baby responded well to them. So I knew he would be happy on his walks.”
“Kelli has been an absolute Godsend to me and my pups life! Her communication is 10/10! As an owner of an older pup, my dog has been through some changes with her body. Kelli has been more than a helping hand when it comes to helping her stand up, making sure she goes potty safely, giving medication or cleaning a wound! She is extremely friendly, easy to reach out to and I know my pup absolutely loves spending time with her. I am so lucky to have found someone who truly cares about my pups wellbeing and is flexible!! Thank you for everything you have done for us, we appreciate you!”
“Camron is the sweetest person that you could ever use to trust your animal in her care! Her professionalism is top notch. If I could rate her more than 5 stars, I would! When I got home from my trip, I could almost see the disappointment in my dogs eyes when he saw that I was home and not his buddy Camron! Grateful to have found her.”
“Nikki is great! She’s very good with the dogs, and seems to really care about them. We really loved and appreciated all the updates she gave us along with the photos. Great with communication as well. 10/10, will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“The animals and us humans love Lydia! We’ve had the pleasure of using her services quite a few times for dog walks and cat care and she’s my absolute go-to. Always amazing!”
About: I've taken care of dogs/cats personally for 20+ years whether it be my own pets or neighbors. Walk, bathe & medicate with lots of love to dole out. I am currently an empty nester and available to come to your location to care for your fur babies so they are comfortable from the sounds of a kennel. My schedule is flexible. My home is currently not available for home services as I have 6 cats but I am very willing and able to come to your home so your fur babies can stay in their environment and enjoy their creature comforts.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Throughout my life, I’ve looked after all kinds of pets—from cats and dogs to peacocks, pigs, and even goats. Friends and family always turn to me when they need someone to care for their pets, because they know I treat every animal like my own. Since I’m not able to have pets of my own right now, I pour all my love and attention into the ones I care for—making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved every moment we’re together. Pet care fits naturally into my life. After caring for my mother and leaving my job, I now have time—and a heart that craves connection. Animals bring comfort, joy, and unconditional love. Since I can’t have pets of my own right now, giving that love to others’ pets feels truly fulfilling. If I can make a living by doing something that brings me peace, purpose, and happiness, I’m all in. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship. I create a calm, safe space where they feel relaxed and happy. I pay attention to their body language, moods, and needs, always putting their comfort first. Your pet isn’t just being watched—they’re being genuinely cared for by me :).
“Ashley has been our sitter for 4 years now and she’s excellent with our dog and kitties! She’s super dependable, provides excellent communication with us, and our pets love her. We highly recommend her!”
“Zachary is an amazing dog caretaker! He did an awesome job caring for my dog! I know this because I have video footage from my security cameras. I highly recommend him to everyone who reads this review. So, to anyone looking for a caretaker for their animal(s) please give Zachary your business as he’s looking to build his business as well.”
About: With 17 years of hands on experience in pet care and rescue, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior, compassion, and a commitment to force free, humane care. I've traveled across the country to study dog behavior and volunteer at the largest rescue in the US, giving me a unique perspective and skill that goes far beyond basic pet sitting. My focus is on creating a safe, positive experience for every pet through gentle handling and trust based interactions. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I structure my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. Making sure I have ample time and flexibility to provide each pet with focused attention, timely visits and meaningful interaction. Whether it's your morning walks or daily drop ins, I prioritize consistency and reliability, ensuring your pets stay happy, healthy and stress-free while you're away. I provide a fear free, force free environment. For the safety and well being of the dogs in my care, I do not work with retractable leashes, shock collars, vibration/tone collars, choke collars or prong collars. I use only humane, force free handling methods to ensure every walk is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.
About: Hello! My name is Francesca, and I’m a 28-year-old mother based in the Tampa Bay area. I’ve had a lifelong passion for animals and their care, and I’m thrilled to share that passion through my work. I have four years of training in Veterinary Assistant courses and over a year and a half of hands-on experience as a volunteer at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. There, I’ve taken on roles such as dog and cat companion, kennel assistant, and assisting patients during their recovery from anesthesia. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all breeds and sizes and am happy to provide services like bathing and working on basic commands. My goal is to provide your furry companion with the same love and attention I’d give my own. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet—I look forward to meeting you both! As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of flexibility during the day and would love to dedicate that time to caring for your pets. I’m excited to get back into animal care and am happy to work around your schedule! I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention I give my own fur babies. Whether it’s providing plenty of playtime or gentle pets for those who aren’t as active, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I have experience with both senior pets and young ones, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for at all times.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. From a young age my parents emphasized the importance of properly caring for and loving all the animals I had, and trust me we have had our fair share! I’ve had cats and dogs, birds, fish, and frogs… and even a bearded dragon! Now it’s a little more lowkey as my boyfriend and I live with our sweet 2 year old rescue pup named Koda. Nothing brings me as much happiness as caring for and spoiling my fur baby (hopefully another fur baby soon) and I would love to help do the same for your pets as well! I currently work remotely from home. My schedule is pretty flexible other than my 2-3 set meetings each day. I am available for drop ins or overnights since I can take my work with me and plan my day around my meetings! I am a firm believer that pets deserve all the love in the world. I pride myself on how much time and attention I pour into my rescue pup and I think it’s important that the same standard applies for any clients animals I have the pleasure of taking care of. Being a rescue pup, my fur baby has a lot of special quirks that have taken time to learn and address accordingly to give her the best life possible. I believe each animal deserves the same attention.

About: I've owned cats & dogs my entire life, and I've recently taken to training puppies on basic tricks and manners. The safety & comfort of your loved animals are my top priorities. I've cared for dogs of every size and administered various daily medicines and shots to pets in need. I'm a grad student at USF with spare time to spend on caring for your pets. The exercise from walking or playing with pets gives me a break from hitting the books & helps pay for my travel to conferences. I take the client's requests seriously. I care for their pets how they would themselves. I have the time in my schedule to spend with the pets for their comfort.
“Rebekah is amazing, she stopped by our house everyday and walked with my 2 babies: Maya and Rosie :))) She sent all pictures and feedback - she also made sure that they peed and had some water! Thank you, Rebekah! P.S. Rebekah is so sweet and energetic, we just adopted Rosie (she still isn’t house broken and difficult), she was great with her and gave some feedback :)) I really appreciate it - booking her again!”
About: I have years of experience caring for my own dog and several other breeds. I am skilled at giving medication. I am able to walk and feed your baby at a reliable time. I’m currently working full time from home, and will only sit 1 or two dogs at a time so I will always be available to provide the best communication for your pet. I do offer daily walks, and I do not crate animals unless I am stepping out of the house for a bit. I live in a 2 bedroom home with a fenced yard and I currently own a pitbull named Bruno who gets along with every dog that he meets. There are dog beds and water throughout the house so that your pet will always be comfortable

Payton B.
“Payton has been around animals pretty much her whole life. She is very dependable, and detail oriented.

Payton followed all three fur babies feeding schedule and took care of them as if they were her own.”
