“Olivia came through in a pinch when my usual dog sitter had to cancel at the last minute. She sent me updates and was responsive whenever I messaged to check in while I was away. Thanks, Olivia - I appreciate that I could go on my trip and count on you to take good care of my girl!”


“Abigail took care of our cats so wonderfully when we were out of town. She sent us pictures of them and kept us updated about things. She was super easy and efficient in terms of communication, and promptly answered any of our questions. The cats had a great time with her; our cats love people, so they cuddled with her and got a lot of pets from her. Highly recommend Abi, she will love your pets like her own. Thanks so much, Abi! ♥️”


“Jordan was fantastic! She arrived promptly and sent us photos of the pups to let us know she was there and the pups were well :). She continued to send us photos (and she got some great shots) in a way that was comforting and just the right amount. The house was in great shape when we got home. It was such a relief to know that our dogs were in their own environment. We are all looking forward to our next opportunity to have Jordan do a drop in visit or stay when we travel.”


“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is responsible, pleasant, articulate and was great with my dog, Willie. Willie is on daily medicine and a supplement. He also can be anxious about being left behind/alone. She took great care of him! She checked rather than assumed she knew what to do when something came up. I will be looking to have her as a house/dog sitter again.”


“Angela is fantastic! She was able to house sit on a last minute request and completely put me at ease with her compassionate and responsive care. She took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and sent me frequent updates and photos throughout. My dogs were calm and happy when we returned home. I will absolutely be requesting her more in the future!”


“Rhoda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond and by the pictures she sent I could tell my cat was enjoying his “vacation” as well. I will definitely be booking her for future sittings! Thank you, Rhoda!”


“Michele was great. I was a little nervous because Angel just lost his brother and is having separation anxiety. She was very good with him ans stayed and comforted him. We will definitely use her again.”



“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.”


About: I have over 40 years of experience raising and caring for dogs, from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I adjust my care to each dog’s unique personality, follow owner guidance closely, and happily provide updates and photos if desired. I work from home most days and have a very flexible schedule. I am able to do daily drop-ins in the mornings and evenings, or stay in your home to give more attention and care as needed. I do not offer care in my home as my own cats are uncomfortable with other animals. I am able to provide care in your home based on your needs and preferences.

About: I love all dogs and treat them like my own dog. I have a small havanese who is my favorite thing in the whole wide world. I work from home and can take care of the dog anytime of the day and can go multiple times throughout the day if needed. I treat all animals like my own. I have the time to take care of the animals throughout the day. My dog is my favorite thing.

About: Lots of availability and flexible! I have been pet sitting animals of all ages, sizes, species, and breeds for 20 years. I grew up in an animal loving family and currently have 3 cats and a dog of my own. I can handle small dogs and huge dogs, and know how to care for skittish, overactive, and reactive pets. I will treat you babies like my own. I am experienced in giving medicine, wound care, nail cutting, light grooming, and training/reinforcement for dogs and cats. I have grooming supplies on hand and my animals are great with others if socialization is an important part of your pet’s care. I have rescued and fostered numerous animals over the years who I have found forever homes for, and I have a great relationship with local vets. Experience watching cats, dogs (no weight max, I am very comfortable with large dogs), geckos, bearded dragons, ball pythons, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, turtles, hermit crabs, and open to any others! Currently a graduate student at USF so I have a lot of flexible availability during the week that’d I’d love to carve out for your fur baby! I’m a graduate student with a very predictable schedule so I’ll be able to carve out regular and predictable time for your pets which is essential for building a good relationship. I’m able to visit your pet multiple times a day, and I spend an ample amount of time on enrichment (mental and physical) as well as just regular feedings. I live in a house in a very walkable area of town near a lot of parks, and a short driving distance from a couple dog parks. I have a fenced in yard that I can bring your dog to have play dates with my dog if that’s something your dog would enjoy. I have three dog-friendly and cat-friendly cats in my home as well. I play with my animals at least 20 minutes three times a day and try to play with client’s pets for 20min every time I visit as well!

“Haley was amazing. Mowgli's never been calm even with us around but with Haley around, he was something else..(in a good way). Definitely booking her if we're ever back in Tampa! Thank you, Haley : )”


About: I have cared for dogs for 2-3 years give or take. I have worked to give pets the most fun and love while their parents are away. I can also work with your pet on different training skills to ensure they're the best behaved. Lastly, I have most of my day available for a few hours so I can give your pet the attention they deserve for most of the day. I'm a student at the University of Tampa. for most of my week, with the exception of Monday and Wednesday, I only have one class. This gives me the majority of my day to take care of your pets. I don't have any pets with me at college, but when I do care for pets. I follow the instructions given to me on feeding, I give a minimum of 2 walks a day and several smaller outings that allow the pet to go to the bathroom. I play and snuggle with the pets as they please and give treats for good behavior.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10, including dogs, cats, and even fish. Over the years, I’ve looked after pets of all ages — from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a gentler approach. I’m comfortable giving medications when needed and always try to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I treat every animal like family and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. My routine is consistent yet flexible. I work fully from home and have plenty of opportunities to walk away as needed. As long as you give me enough notice we can work out whatever you might need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely, and I keep things clean and secure—like locking doors, double-checking gates, and keeping hazardous items out of reach. I also give pets plenty of attention and affection so they feel relaxed while you’re away. Communication is key, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins.

“Samantha was amazing! My sons girlfriend visited while Samantha was here watching the dogs and text me saying my dogs LOVED her. This is huge to me because my dogs are special and like my kids, I don’t trust their care to just anyone. Samantha encountered an issue out of her control with my puppy and handled it like a pro and contacted me to fill me in. Now to reinforce my escape artists crate for next time so she doesn’t get herself in more trouble! Thank you Samantha!”


“Rachel was amazing! We were away from our cats for two whole weeks, which was so hard, but Rachel made it so much easier to trust that our cats were in the best hands! She sent pictures often and always kept us updated. I totally trust her with my pets and my home & would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Karen just house and dog sat for me for 10 days and was so wonderful. She is a truly kind and caring person and I trusted her implicitly. She cared for my dog (who now loves her) and took care of my home, leaving it clean and in order. I would highly recommend her!”


Breanna B.
“Breanna does more than just "watch" pets. She cares for them and loves them as if they are her own. She is sure to follow all dietary procedures and makes sure that my pup remains safe at all times. She consistently pays attention to how hot the pavement is so that Bo's paws do not get burn A pet owner herself, she is well versed in what types of foods are harmful and helpful to dogs. She is also familiar with dog behaviors such as boredom, anxiety, tummy and ear trouble. My pup is my child, and I am meticulous as to how he is cared for, so saying that I have full confidence in having Breanna sit for my little guy speaks volumes.”

Danielle H.
“My family and I refer to Danielle as the dog whisperer. We have two dogs, Max, a laid back black lab, and Marley, a very energetic beagle. Both dogs absolutely adore Danielle. In fact, they often look at me like what are you doing back so soon. Danielle is extremely attentive and focused on the needs of the dogs. She takes them on walks, trips to the dog park and an occasional pup cup from Starbucks. She has had to give Max his meds and has done so with no problem at all. We have hired her to stop over during the day for dog walks, as well as stay overnight when necessary. I have always been impressed with her professionalism, she takes her dog walking / watching duties very seriously. You can count on Danielle to care for your dogs as if they were her own!”


Randy T.
“Randy has helped me out more than a few times when it comes to watching my dog, Freya, and his work, care, time, and attention he puts into taking care of her is second to none. I've asked him to follow a schedule and generally just hang around her (she has separation anxiety), and he went above and beyond. He walked her everyday, spent countless hours keeping her company, and gave her all the love all the time. I couldn't recommend Randy more to watch your pet!”
