Cat Sitting Deer Park

“Yaritza has a way with our cat. She normally hides when strangers are in the house but Yaritza got pics of our Joey on every visit. Definitely recommended and will use her services again if/when we need it”

About: I've loved animals since I was a kid and have been working with them professionally since 2019. My experience in the pet industry as well as customer service has equipped me with a unique skill set that I believe can benefit dogs of any temperament. I value transparent communication with all pet parents to set clear expectations and goals. I prioritize safety and building trust with each dog, meeting them where they're at as individuals, and building their confidence to feel safe and respected while under my care. I started out as a doggy daycare attendant, learning to read dog body language and to match dogs with their new best friends. I also quickly developed my photography skills to get the best shots for each dog's report card to send their parents a smile. I worked my way up to managing a boarding facility where I would oversee daycare, boarding, and grooming functionality. I also directly engaged with customers for any communication necessary to ensure the best care for their pups. During this time, I began to encounter more and more dogs with special needs and/or troubled pasts. This lead me to gain an ever-evolving understanding of what makes a dog feel stressed and anxious vs happy and playful. For the past three years I've been caring for sanctuary dogs and feral cats at a private rescue. These are animals who were adopted and returned for behavioral issues, had pre-existing health conditions, or were simply abandoned by previous owners. Many of them are seniors, as we are their final home to live out the rest of their days in peace, so I'm comfortable administering medications as needed. This facility has enhanced my appreciation for misunderstood dogs and cats, giving me the privilege to become more patient and intentional with my animal interactions. Whether your pet wants to be everyone's friend or needs someone to prove their worth first, I'd love to meet them and see if we're a good fit! I have full availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. I am available after 6pm all other days. I can make adjustments for overnight stays as needed. I am currently working full-time but would love to focus more on pet sitting once I establish regular clients! I am currently offering care in the client's home, including walks, enrichment and brain games, play time, feeding and medication as needed, and overnight stays.

“I had such a great experience with Madison! She did drop-in visits for my cat over the course of 5 days and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly experienced with cats. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Cat did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and even made sure Bucky received his eye drops each day. I also appreciated how she went above and beyond by sweeping the litter off the floor and keeping the area clean. The daily updates and sweet photos she sent reassured me that my cats were happy and comfortable. When I came home, they were all content and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would absolutely recommend her!”

“Arianne did a fantastic job with my cats. One of them can be pretty difficult to deal with and instead he felt super comfortable with her. I'll definitely book her again to take care of my babies!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, love, and attention. I’m comfortable with daily feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing companionship. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away! I work part-time in the morning, but I am available early morning for drop-in visits as well as the late afternoon and evening. So whether you need me for one time visit or three I am available for all your needs. I can also be available for a one time visit or for repeated daily/weekly visits. I can spend some quality time with your pet during my drop in visits, if wanted I can give them some yard time to have them play and run and I can feed and walk your pet as well.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and truly enjoy spending time with them. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, playtime, walks, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I believe every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happy and secure. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, quiet environment, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to their needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets with the same love and respect I’d want for my own. I’m currently new to the Tampa area, looking to make extra money! My work schedule is From 9-6 occasionally work from home so we can always negotiate between those times, weekends im typically free! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I do my best to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks , playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure they always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean, stress-free environment.

About: As a college student with a lifetime of experience loving and caring for cats, along with over 100 hours volunteering with the Humane Society, I’m dependable, playful, and genuinely passionate about making sure every cat feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your furry friend company, I’m always excited to spend time with your cat! I'm currently a full time college student with classes on Mondays and Wednesday (I am also a member of the USF Herd of Thunder Marching Band). I do not have classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays (except for band practice from 6-8). I would love to take care of your furry friend on my days off from school! I am free all day on Sundays! When stopping by your home for the first time, I approach all cats with their own needs first. I have owned cats my whole life and making sure they feel comfortable is important to me. I value a cats "waiting" period for getting used to me very seriously, as making a cat uncomfortable or scared is not my goal. Cat's need time, so waiting for them to approach me is the way to go! However, if your cat is always looking for someone to play with, I'm your person! I will pick up a toy right away and help them get those zoomies out!

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I currently have 2 kittens and my family has a 13 year old yorkie! I’ve had my own dogs, big and small, cats, and a bunny, birds and guinea pigs. I volunteered at my local animal shelter in high school, and now in college I have my own pets! I believe animals deserve so much love and respect and will treat your animals like my own. I am currently a USF student with online classes only! I am able to help you and your pets at any time during the week. I have my own transportation and my own pets are very easy to take care of, so I am able to be working very flexible hours. While working in your home, you can ensure that your pets will receive my full love and attention. I have walked big dogs, and dogs that like to pull, such as labs, dobermans and german shepherds. I am used to dogs jumping and play bites. I am also used to bathing cats and dogs, when necessary, and administering medication to them as well.

“Jariah was great with my cat! My cat is super skittish with new places and people, and Jariah was super understanding of that and kept her as calm as possible.”

About: I have been caring for animals of my own and others for 10+ years now, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and I am also Fear Free certified! I will treat your pets like they are my own, whether you need drop in visits for a long vacation or just a quick walk :) I work full time as a veterinary technician but am able to drop in for visits before and after work, as well as going on walks before/after work and on weekends. I will not be accommodating any pets at my own home for now due to living in an apartment setting and having a couple of fur babies of my own!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been the go-to sitter for friends and family. I also volunteer with Furry Friends Pet Rescue, where I’m approved to walk and care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. In addition, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society, gaining hands-on experience with dogs that require extra patience and care. Whether it’s playing, feeding, walking, or just keeping dogs company while their people are away, I bring experience, empathy, and genuine love to every pup I meet. I’m a student at USF with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I’m available most afternoons after class and all day on weekends for walks or drop-ins. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals. I provide care in your home where your dog feels most comfortable. Whether it’s walks, feedings, or playtime, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I always follow care instructions carefully and treat every home with the respect and professionalism it deserves.

About: Pets have been a part of my life since day one - I've rarely not had a dog, a cat, or both at home. That's a lifetime of knowing what animals need, how they think, and how to make them feel safe and loved when their owners are away. . Your pet won't just be looked after - they'll be in good hands with someone who loves to care for animals. My schedule is open and flexible, so I can work around what works best for you and your pet. I'm available most days and happy to coordinate drop-in times that fit your routine. Drop-ins are done at your home, so your pet gets to stay in the environment they're already comfortable in. I follow your instructions to the letter - feeding schedules, routines, off-limit areas, whatever you need. Your home and your pet are treated with full respect every visit.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, so I understand that they can have an array of personalities. I am an active person, as I run, walk and go to the gym regularly. I am here for the slower, shorter walks, while also enjoying the longer, fast-paced walks. I am currently a USF student working part-time remotely. My afternoons and evenings are more available during the week. During the weekends, my schedule varies. I currently live in an apartment, while my dogs live at my family home. When I lived with them, I took them on long walks regularly and picked up their feces. I also fed them routinely every morning and night.

“Did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was gone! 😊”

About: Hi there!! My name is Jordan. I have grown up with so many different kinds of animals! I currently have 2 dogs, 5 fish tanks, 2 toads, 1 gecko, 1 turtle, 1 tortoise, and 1 little jumping spider (who i adore to death). My mom is a veterinarian so i’ve grown up surrounded by animals and known animal information all my life. Both of my parents are animal lovers, so of course I am! I love animals so much i have a huge space in my heart for all of them. A lot of people tell me that i love them too much or look at me crazy when i cry over a dead grasshopper or plan my fish a burial service if they have passed instead of flushing them, but it really is just true emotions haha! I will care and love your animals just like my own, i would really love to stay with them and make them feel comfortable :) I work a full time job, monday to friday 8am to 5pm, i take an hour lunch break at 12 pm! i can stay with your pets throughout any day, take care in the morning, if close enough, come and care for lunch time and then straight back after i get off! my job is pretty lenient with accommodations for schedules so please ask if anything different is needed, and i’ll do what i can :) Typically when i pet sit for my clients, i will make sure they are taken care of at the times you need, if needed to be given a good walk i will walk them because i love to walk! I play with them! Anything and everything to make your pets feel at ease and comfortable while you’re away! :)

About: I’m very comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I have my own well-trained and socialized dog, and I’ve also worked with dog trainers, so I have experience with basic training, reinforcing commands, leash manners, and encouraging good behavior. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and I always follow each owner’s instructions and their dog’s usual routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can adjust my availability depending on your pet’s routine and needs. Safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, make sure their environment is clean and secure, and always pay attention to their individual behavior and needs.

About: Hi! I'm 20 years old! as a Libra, I'm naturally caring and adaptable. I’m open to any changes—just communicate with me. Your pets will be in loving hands! animals have always been in my life and i continue to give them the life they deserve. I’ve had many animals in my life growing up and was taught how to care and nurture them properly. my dog recently died so i no longer have any animals but i promise to you, your animals will be safe with me ♥️ I care for pets both in my home and my client's home with the utmost dedication. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. At my client's home, I follow their specific routines and preferences to ensure their pets feel comfortable and secure. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and messages about their pets' well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds! I love animals and have been pet sitting for over ten years and hopefully many more. My vast experience with different species of pets helps me to adapt and problem solve in any situation. I’m happy to communicate with you and help care for your pets! I am a college graduate and I currently have one dog with my family; she is the highlight of our lives! We make sure she is in good health with her diet and veterinary visits. I have cared for many pets for my friends, family and neighbors throughout the years. I love to see animals thriving in their environment and when responsible, help out with that to the best of my abilities. In our home our porch is screened in for our dog to go outside and sunbathe, we take her for walks, and have specific food for her diet!
