Ryan was an absolute awesome sitter for our little Luna. He was very accommodating and came a little early per our request to bond with Luna and give her time to feel comfortable around him. She seemed very comfortable and happy and wanting to play. Ryan was very respectful and helped also keep things tidy , bringing in our packages and mail. We definitely will book with Ryan again for our next trip.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.

About: I am a PhD student at the University of South Florida, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. Over the past five years while in graduate school, I have regularly house sat for several families and cared for a variety of breeds. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including young puppies and dogs that require medication. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I have a 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer (high energy working breed) that my partner and I raised from puppyhood, so I am very familiar with high-energy, intelligent dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment. Raising him has given me firsthand experience with puppy training, establishing routines, and all the challenges and rewards that come with energetic young dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week outside of classes. I have lots of time to check in on animals and take them for walks. I am a very responsible and will ensure that your pet is safe, happy and healthy. I will be sure to give them lots of exercise and love!

About: Hi y’all! I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up on a farm for several years of my life and I got to care for many different animals! Cats, dogs, chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits, and a pony. I’ve also helped family and friends with their farm animals and pets as well. Friends, neighbors, family, and some strangers have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates and photos so pet parents can have peace of mind while they’re away. My last dog Buddy was actually 15 years old and I learned to take care of him very well. He has since passed away but my experiences and memories with him has made my love of animals grow even more! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work during the day, but I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and pet care before work, after work, and on weekends. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate each pet’s needs while providing reliable, consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. During walks and visits, I stay attentive to my surroundings and your pet’s behavior to ensure they remain safe at all times. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Communication was excellent, we received regular updates, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and loved. They became great friends with her pup pawprint as well. We came home to happy pups and couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!

Hope is the best! She house sat in our home for a 3-night stay and it was a fantastic experience working with her. She arrived early, handled our stubborn and blind senior dog with patience, and our home was in perfect condition when we got back into town. On top of all that, there was an unexpected A/C outage during her stay, which she never once complained about and she helped fix!. We are looking forward to working with her again soon.
