“I had the best experience having Juliana check in on my Yorkie. She paid attention to detail and was very communicative to make sure my dog had the best care. I will continue to use her!”

“Bethany is great to work with! She was very attentive to our animals needs and seemed to get along really well with them! We’d love to have her as a sitter in the future.”

“We have had many people take great care of our boys (two cats), but Katie went above and beyond with her communication and ability to connect with them during a stressful time (we just relocated). Highly recommend Katie and won’t hesitate to rebook!”

“Summer was great! She followed all the instructions we left for her and was a great friend to our dog and cat. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care while we were out of town!”

“Dorian was beyond Great!! He went above and beyond in his caring for our fur babies, Mr Wilson (basset hound) and Squeaks our cat. All I can say is Dorian exceeded our expectations on every Level! Rover was actually a "Vacation Saver" since our family member backed out of caring for our pets at the last minute. I will book Dorian again and recommend him and Rover to anyone who needs pet care. Book Dorian, you will be so happy you found him!”


“Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cat Teddy! He has been going through a lot and is on new medication, but Amanda gave him his meds no problem. She was great at scooping his litter box and cleaning up after him. She’s an amazing sitter, will definitely use again!”


“Absolutely amazing! Natalie did more than asked and followed instructions perfectly. She was very communitive while I was away for a whole week. She played with kitties and they loved her!! Recommend.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and have had special bonds with dogs for as long as I can remember, whether it be from growing up in a house full of three dogs or having neighbors rely on me to take care of their dogs! I love making sure dogs are happy and feel safe, taking them on walks, and spending free time playing with them. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I am currently available every morning until 8:30am and then every evening after 7:15pm. I have full availability on Sundays, and then full availability every other Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday! Although I only live in an apartment, I live in a very walkable area with two dog parks down the street from me! I like to make sure dogs keep their routine!
About: Caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. I love spending time with animals, whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block, playing fetch at the park, or giving them plenty of pets/belly rubs at home. Growing up with dogs, and gaining experience with a variety of dogs (&cats!) since then, has made me confident and attentive in providing personalized care. I've also had the pleasure of regularly volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay where I walk, play, and give lots of love to dogs in need. From energetic pups to more relaxed seniors, I've gotten to know the different needs and personalities of many dogs. With me, your pet is guaranteed to be treated like family! I have a flexible schedule and work different hours each day, which allows me to accommodate pets with varying needs. I am able to provide care for your pet before work or during the late afternoons and evenings once I'm off. I also am off on Friday's which gives me extra availability to spend with your pet. I'm happy to work around your pet's needs and adjust to a schedule that works for you. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure environment at all times, whether at home or during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet's care. I'm a responsible and trustworthy sitter, and I always treat each pet as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands.
“Alexis was fantastic! She was great with my dog and communicated very well about when she was visiting and how the dog was doing. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

About: I have cared for family, personal and neighborhood pets for the last 15+ years! I have experience with both dogs and cats will all kinds of temperaments. I grew up with a lab and two cats and currently have a 4.5 year old golden retriever :) I am currently in-between jobs, so I have an abundance of time to dedicate to your pets! I am extremely flexible with early mornings and late evenings. I am there for whatever your pet needs! I have put my dog through in-home training, so I feel I can accommodate the different needs of different animals. I feel confident walking dogs of all sizes, and can easily crate a pup if need be. I will send lots of photos and updates of your furry friends!

Lots of dog parks within proximity. Even in my personal life i like to venture to areas that are dog friendly.
“Bekah was amazing watching my two cats while I was away for a week. She spent so much time with them and sent lots of great updates and made me feel so comfortable knowing they were being taken great care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”

“We are beyond thrilled with the kind, attentive care Susy gave to Mina over this weekend. She sent us thorough updates and tons of pictures of a very happy cat, which really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. I would 100 percent go to her for any future pet sitting needs.”

“Tyler was great checking in on my puppy! I am confident that my dog is in good hands and being cared for with updates, quick communication, and cute photos!! Definitely recommend!”


About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 3 and have been both dog and cat sitter in the past. I have cats personally but looking forward for long walks with puppies when I can! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule. I can take pets for walks or just come spend quality time with your loved one I live in an apartment with cats of my own, so I will not be able to board pets. I am able to go check in as much as needed

Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cat Teddy! He has been going through a lot and is on new medication, but Amanda gave him his meds no problem. She was great at scooping his litter box and cleaning up after him. She’s an amazing sitter, will definitely use again!

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Oakley. She was reliable, communicative, sent great updates/photos, and clearly cared about him like he was her own. Oak can be high energy and she handled him perfectly. It gave me a ton of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.
