“My two girl kitties just LOVED Danni! While I was away I received the sweetest messages and cutest pictures of my fur babies, Callie and Charlie! I’m so thankful Danni took such great care of my girls while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking with her in the future… and recommend you do too!”

“Emma was incredible. Emma was able to do a drop in SUPER last minute - got to my house incredibly fast and did an amazing job! Highly highly recommend and we will be using Emma in the future!!”

About: I've been on and off pet sitting since I was seven. I grew up with all kinds of dogs with all kinds of needs. I'm especially good with blind, deaf and senior pups. This is a full time gig, so taking care of your animals is my top priority! Any time, any day, I will be there for your furry friends! I can walk your dogs multiple times a day if needed. Whatever you need I will happily do. Just say the word and I'm on it!
“Lliana was absolutely amazing. She communicated constantly and took great care of our dog. She reassured us and made sure our dog was okay even when he was scared of the fireworks outside. 100% recommend.”

“We had a great experience with Summer! She came to our home for an hour to walk, feed, and spend some playtime with our dog - and everything went perfectly. She arrived on time, followed all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter :-)”


“Very polite and understanding of pets needs. From the meet and greet to actual sitting, my Dog got a big and he was more than understanding in his new diet. Always giving updates and feedback on his walks. Highly recommend.”

“Bethany is great to work with! She was very attentive to our animals needs and seemed to get along really well with them! We’d love to have her as a sitter in the future.”

“Alexis was fantastic! She was great with my dog and communicated very well about when she was visiting and how the dog was doing. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

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.
“Alina is reliable and she is great with Pablo. She treats him like family and cares for him exceptionally. She communicates promptly and openly. She’s a trusted sitter and someone I know I can count on to care for my baby.”

“Katie is outstanding! She is extremely kind and takes very good care your pet. She leaves great detailed updates and she takes awesome pictures! Katie gave me great peace of mind while I was on a family vacation. 1,000% would recommend her!!!”

“AJ is like a cat whisperer! He is compassionate, professional, and highly communicative with all creatures of our home. We are always comforted in travel knowing we can safely and reliably leave our kitties and their medication needs in AJ’s care.”

“So kind and responsive! Amanda and Matt sent pictures and kept in touch with me every time they stopped in for our 4 dogs. I will definitely contact them again the next time we are out of town. Thank you so much!”

“Sammie did an outstanding job caring for our two dogs. She was very responsive, timely, and an effective communicator. This was our first time using Rover and it was a fantastic experience. The app is so easy to use, and we love the Rover cards.”


“Natalie was amazing with my dog Ralo! He was so happy to see her, and she gave him so much love and attention during their visit. She stayed the full hour, sent plenty of updates, and even took him for a walk. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

Tina went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She takes great photos and very detailed notes, making sure to address every single care instruction that we gave her. She was accommodating when I had to add a couple extra feeding instructions at the last minute, and responded to all messages promptly. Certainly made my gf and I less stressed, would 100% recommend.

Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my cat Teddy! He has been going through a lot and is on new medication, but Amanda gave him his meds no problem. She was great at scooping his litter box and cleaning up after him. She’s an amazing sitter, will definitely use again!

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.
