“Johnny truly goes above and beyond for your pet and the whole family. He is the best sitter we have ever had by far, there is no comparison. He pays attention to detail and truly does the best job.”


“Danni is a fantastic pet sitter! She pays attention to detail and did a great job of giving my pet all the attention and love she needed while I was away. I could not recommend her enough!!”


“Summer took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away on a holiday weekend. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs.”


“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Olivia was great with my dog Penny, she is very sweet. She was willing to do what was needed to get her to take her medicine when not feeling good. She also took the time to come meet us before the weekend walks. Would definitely use her again.”


About: Experience dog sitter with an overflowing love for all pets. I would love to help you take care of your pet and love them as if they were my own! I've owned and cared for dogs from a very young age and love being around them. I am located in the downtown/channelside area, so I can get to wherever in a pinch! I also work remotely with flexible work hours, so I am looking to fill time throughout my week caring for your pet or house sitting. My fiancé and I aren't quite in the point of life to have our own dog, so I get my fix of pets and cuddles through the pets of others! I work remotely Monday-Friday with flexible hours that allow me the ability to be active with your pet throughout the day, take them on multiple walks if needed, and offer extra cuddles/play time! I will ensure that your pets are taken care of as if they were my own! I love to provide clients with daily photo and text updates, especially if owners are on vacation or away for multiple nights. As mentioned, I have a very flexible work schedule with very few meetings, so I can provide your pet the necessary attention and exercise during the day! This also allows me to stick to your dog's routine if they have a certain structure they are used to.

“Stassi was absolutely amazing! I was so incredibly nervous to leave my dog but Stassi made sure to give thorough updates and the cutest pictures of my baby. Thank you!!”


About: I worked at a doggy day care for years and miss hanging out and caring for all the pups! I’ve cared for friends, family and neighbors pets for years, of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable administering medication if need be and will always take extra special care of your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 💜 I’m currently a single stay at home mom with my 2 boys. My schedule is very flexible and I more often than not can accept same day bookings/visits! My cat is on a strict feeding schedule with prescription food so I understand how important it is to be punctual. I walk my sisters dog every other day (the evenings she’s working late and can’t do it herself) and love providing enrichment games for both pets to make sure they’re living their best and happiest life!

“Our pups love having Rylie visit during the day. It’s such a big help when we need extra support for long work weeks. She is kind, conscientious and dependable. Love having her do drop ins for us!”


“Mary was amazing! Sent thorough summaries each day on her interactions with Tuna and Mayla with great pictures. Mary was very communicative and punctual. I would definitely recommend Mary!”


About: Hi! My name is Hayley, and I have two years of professional doggy daycare and boarding experience! I was a supervisor/lead at a very successful daycare in Tampa Bay, and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I have my own fur baby at home, and I love taking care of her, as well as taking care of my friends’ pets! I also love getting active on a day to day basis and making connections with people (and their pets) in my community! I love doing walks and check in visits, based on the activity level of the baby I’m sitting. For those young, energetic, or active dogs, I opt to take long walks/runs with them, and for the senior or slower moving pups, I try to be mindful of the summer heat, and we tend to go to a chill dog park or take a nice stroll for them to have plenty of time to potty!

“Molly is great! She’s reliable and communicative and takes such good care of my cat!”


About: Ever since I was little I had been the go-to person for caring for my family dog. Even after moving out, I've still enjoyed watching her for my parents when they needed a weekend sitter. I'd take her on walks to the dog park, beach trips, and of course, stop for a pup cup- her favorite! 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 done for the day. 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!

“We are extremely grateful to Carolina. She is very affectionate with dogs and very responsible. Always willing to go the extra mile. Having Carolina as a petsitter during our vacation gave us a lot of tranquility and peace. Our dogs could not have been in better hands. I recommend her 100%!”


“amanda went above and beyond with a quick response time when i had a medical emergency keeping me away from my cats! not only did she help care for them but she went the extra mile tidying up my kitchen since my emergency took me from my house quickly, leaving a bit of a mess behind. i’m so grateful to have found someone who’s so kind to me & my kitties!”

“Sophia was my dog sitter for about 2 years. She was absolutely wonderful! My dog Rocky is an old man and he needs a bit of special care. She was very attentive to all his medical needs (medicine, eye drops) and just making sure he was loved while I was out of town. Sophia was also very punctual which I appreciate because Rocky couldn’t hold his bladder as well and had medicine that needed to be taken at specific times. Long story short she was the best dog walker/sitter I’ve had!”
