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!

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.

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!

I love to interact with dogs and have walked several dogs over the years! I am a college student home for summer break so I am very available! I would prefer to work evenings but am open to whatever works best for you and your pet. I have had dogs growing up and know what its like to deal with all types of dogs.

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.

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.
