Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Downtown, Tampa, FL

“My first experience with Rover and Chloe was phenomenal! Sending pictures of our cat while we’re across the country was a big lift in morale!”

“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!”

About: I began dog walking for my neighbors at 8 years old and helped take care of my family’s french bulldog throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Given her high care needs, I have experience in caring for senior dogs and am able to give them medication. I have pets-sat for families with dogs, cats, and bunnies. Growing up I also had a hamster and guinea pigs of my own! I love doing the “Doggy Day Out” at my local shelter where I get to care for a shelter dog for the day and would love to give your furry friend that same experience. I’m currently working a part-time job and am a full time college student. My busiest times are between 10am-2pm but I can easily fit your pet into my schedule aside from that. I have no classes Tuesdays and Thursdays so if those are your preferred days I will be sure to arrange my work schedule to cater to your furry friends needs! Weekends I am fully free and during the summer/school breaks will be a prime time for pet care considering I am staying in Tampa while most college students go home! I cannot currently board pets until May 2026 as I am still living on campus but once I have a home of my own, I will update this section!

“You can tell Summer really cares about animals and she had so much patience with my senior dog! She did a great job with updates and checking in with any questions!”

“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”

“Katie is truly an amazing over the top pet sitter. She watched my 2 cats for 8 days in a row over the Christmas holiday. She sent me pictures every day and communicated with me how they were doing. She is very caring and attentive. I could tell when I came home they were very happy with Katie. I highly recommend Katie to watch your pets. Responsible and caring.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages, I provide personalized care that meets each pet's unique needs. For Dogs: I'm passionate about long, engaging walks and active play that help your pup expend energy and stay physically and mentally stimulated. Whether working on training basics or simply providing adventure, I ensure every outing is both fun and fulfilling. For Cats: I create calm, nurturing environments where felines feel secure yet encouraged to explore. I understand cat behavior and body language, allowing me to build trust with even the shyest companions. I love animals and am committed to treating every pet as family. Your companion's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I am available on weekends and have flexibility with work since I work remotely for several days throughout the work week. Additionally, I am a morning person so I can take dogs for sunrise walks if needed. Your pet's safety and well-being are non-negotiable priorities in every aspect of care I provide. In Your Home: I maintain your pet's established routines, keep your home secure, and stay vigilant about potential hazards. I provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you're away. On Walks: Dogs remain on secure, appropriate leashes at all times. I'm constantly aware of surroundings, traffic, and other animals, choosing safe routes suited to your dog's temperament. With Cats: I ensure all entry points are secure, respect their boundaries, and follow feeding and medication schedules precisely. I'm knowledgeable about feline safety and keep them away from any hazards. Emergency Preparedness: I have a clear action plan for emergencies and will immediately contact you and your veterinarian if any concerns arise. Communication: Transparency builds trust. I provide regular updates and openly discuss any behavioral observations or concerns. Your companion's safety isn't just a job, it's a promise to you.

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them love, attention, and care no matter their age or personality. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I make sure they feel safe and happy. Pet care already fits naturally into my routine because my dachshund is a big part of my day. I’m used to planning my schedule around walks, feeding times, and quality time, so adding another pup just feels like more love and fun in my week. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own dachshund. That means regular walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure their space is safe and comfortable, and I keep them happy, relaxed, and stress-free whether they’re at my home or theirs.

“Sara did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was traveling. Her communication and documentation was excellent. Would absolutely use her again when I’m away!”

“Kelsey is amazing! We’re new to the area and are so happy we finally found a pet sitter we can trust! Our kitten liked her right away. Kelsey is accommodating, respectful, and someone you can 100% trust to take care of your pets. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.

“Shelby is awesome. He took really good care of my 4 spoiled cats. He is so caring and you can tell how much he loves animals. I already booked the next visits!!”

About: I’ve watched friends and family’s pets from weekends to weeks! I follow instructions easily and care about your pet. From walking to house-sitting. Educated in plant care as well! I’m a college student at University of Tampa! My schedule is flexible and easy to work with! I’m in Tampa for school, and away from my home (Maryland) so I miss playing with my pups back home! I am careful and listen to any instructions or concerns you may have for your pet! I know what it’s like to trust someone else with your pet, and keep that in mind when i’m caring for someone else’s.

“Bekah is consistently great with taking care of my babies while I am gone. She gives so much extra attention to them and goes above and beyond in every aspect. She clipped their nails AND vacuumed. 10/10 recommend and she will be my first call every time.”
