Top rated Davis Island house sitters

“Rachel watched our dog at our home over a two week period and did an exceptional job. She is trustworthy and went above and beyond by keeping us updated, keeping our house tidy, and most importantly giving Ziggy extra love and attention. This is our first time using the house sitting option and will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”


“Jen has been so kind to our two animals. She has been great with their special needs of pilling and monitored feeding. When I returned home after my dog and cat spending a week with Jen, they were happy and healthy. 10/10 I will rebook with Jen.”


“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!”


“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!”



“Amy was awesome! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, but our pup seemed to have a nice weekend! Amy was incredibly easy to communicate with and left the house in great condition--she even washed the sheets for us! I wouldn't hesitate to use Amy as a sitter again!”


“We have used Rebecca several times to watch our dogs and our home, and as always she doesn’t disappoint. She keeps us updated and sends us photos of our fur babies. We love her and so do our dogs!”


“Haley was magnificent! Dennis absolutely loved her and her dog Piper who is also a Frenchie!!! She sent me a bunch of photos and videos and kept me informed about how he was doing. This booking was over July 4th and this was his first time hearing fireworks, which really scared him, but she comforted him and helped him through. I trust her completely, I know Dennis was in great hands and he had a blast!!”


“Victoria has house sat for us and our two large dogs twice now. She has done extremely well with our dogs that can be sometimes difficult with new people. It was evident that our dogs were well cared for and comfortable with her in the home. Victoria was prompt in notifying us if any changes with the schedule were needed. We are glad to have someone we trust to stay in our home with our dogs while we are away.”


About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of a gentle, trained, and compassionate manner. My golden had been terrified of thunder/fireworks, so for years I have watched over him and gave him medication as needed! I’ve given animals I have watched medications, insulin shots for diabetes (I’m in healthcare), and have given baths as needed. I am very caring and I’ve always found animals to enjoy my company. I have pet sit over time to check in on their dogs or cats and to go on walks. In my last photo you will see a german shepherd mix who was a stray and dumped at my college. My professor found him and was keeping him in her office while we were having a meeting. I offered to take him in, gave him his first bath, earned his trust, and got him to eat and drink so he was healthy and could gain some weight. My professor and I found a loving home for “Buddy” after a few weeks! I also like to make time to allow the dog/cat to adapt to a newcomer if needed, or to drop by/call for an interview or any instructions. *If your dog is over 60lbs please check in with me first! I am a student who has afternoons and evenings open to spend time with your loving pet! Weekends are always free! 🐾 My schedule can depend on the needs of your animal. I’ll make sure your pet’a environment stays as normal as it can be whether it is at my home or yours. We will go to the park as needed or to the backyard :)

“Mary and Connie were absolutely amazing. The care and companionship they provided to our fur babies exceeded all of our expectations. Our home was treated as if it was theirs and was found better than we left it. You can’t go wrong with this amazing duo. They are now part of our family, wether they like it or not :)”



“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 recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.

“Becky was a fantasy dog sitter during our 11 night trip out of the country. She sent us photos and updates every day and immediately brought up any concerns. She took our pup for walks even though we have a big back yard and gave him lots of pets and snuggles. She went above and beyond bringing in our mail and watering the plants too. We’ve already booked her for our next out of town vacation.”


“Susy was great and available for a last minute dog sitting! She sent us so many cute pics and videos of our girl. Gave her all the cuddles she needed!!! Will def use Susy again!”


About: I had dogs growing up and used to cat sit for my neighbors. I taught my dogs to open their cages and other small tricks. I just graduated from college and am currently hunting for jobs. I plan to spend at least four days a week caring for animals in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way’s preferred. Caged, free roaming, etc. I’m willing to work with whatever makes my clients most comfortable.
