1. Kristin B.
“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”
2. Maxine S.
“This was the first time Maxine watched Theo and she was amazing! He was so well taken care of. She gave photo and video updates throughout the day and he looked like he had a great time and very comfortable. She treated him as he was her own! Will definitely be making Maxine my go to!”
3. Lynne W.
“Lynne and her husband were excellent sitters for our dog while we were out of town for an extended weekend. Got daily updates and they looked after him as if he was their own. Our dog was sad to leave them.”
4. Nicole M.
“Duke just absolutely loves his stays with Nicole! He always looks so happy in the photos she sends. He can’t wait until his next stay with Nicole.”
5. Cece S.
“Cece was a wonderful sitter! Sent updates with pictures and made sure our little one felt part of the pack at her home. Grateful to have a safe space for Sylvie to stay and play when we’re away! Sylvie came home happy and refreshed and we were gifted with a lovely portrait of her. 10/10! Would recommend Cece for all little dogs!”

8. Joycemar E.

10. Alex C.
“Whitney and Alex were awesome with my sweet Gluhwein!! . Glue had so much fun and made two new best friends Hank and Gino! Unfortunately, my dog got a rash the day before I had to drop him off, but Whitney and Alex were so great with giving him medication and sending me updates on how the rash was healing.. They also sent update pictures throughout the day on what they were doing which definitely helped put my mind at ease while being away!! My puppy had the greatest time and I will definitely be reaching back out to see if they will take him again in the future!!! Thank y’all so much!!”

“Cynthia was great. She sent many photos she updates about my dog. Will book again”

“Rachel was great and took awesome care of my dog! She works from home so she was there at all times and even took him out to the dog park. If you’re leaving your pet with Rachel you are in good hands!”
13. Calix S.
“Calix watched our 8 month puppy for a few days and she absolutely loved him. He was very consistent with communication and took many videos/pictures for us. Our flight got delayed and he was very kind to extend her reservation for another day even when last minute. Our dog was also going through heat and he made sure she did not play with any male dogs and was comfortable her whole stay! 10/10”
14. Lacey W.
“Our dog Bear had a wonderful stay with Lacey and her family! She provided daily updates and pics and I could see he was getting all the love and attention he demands at home, lol. Thanks so much!!!!!!!”
15. Estefany D.
“As always Estefany took excellent care of our Xena. She is truly one of the best sitters we have found here in Tampa or other places where we have lived. Very responsible and has a way with pets; truly a dog whisperer!!”
16. Shawn W.
“When we bring Shimmy to Shawn my kids call it Camp Shawn. Our dog gets so excited when we pull up to the house and Shawn is always happy to see him. I see the pictures of Shimmy playing with the other dogs and running around outside and it makes the experience of being away from him more comfortable because we know he is in good caring hands and he is having fun not just stuck in a cage all day. We will NEVER board him at the vet again. Camp Shawn will always be our # 1 choice!”
17. Akshatha K.
“Akshtaka was great with Asto. And even at last moment, when we’d had to ask to give him some medication post surgery she was ready and took care ore it. Will be making another booking shortly. Thank you for the tender love and care to my pup!”
18. Davina W.
“Davina took care of Gunner as if he were another one of her own animals! She sent pictures and kept me updated with how he was interacting with her dogs and his normal habits. Would highly recommend Davina to take care of your babies as well!”
19. Marc L.
“Marc has such a huge heart for all the animals he comes into contact with and it really shows. He understands the details that come with caring for a pet. He is extremely dependable, trust worthy and knows the value of communication ((including pictures) when it comes to the updates that owners want while they're away. You can feel 100% comfortable with Marc looking after your fur baby!”
20. Candice D.
“My dog had a good time the weekend with Candice and the other dogs. She was happy in the pictures I received. Will definitely be using again.”
