“Chloe is a very caring and kind petsitter. She came to the rescue on very short notice and brought a sense of calm and order in a difficult time for me. She went the extra mile who I will use her again for sure.”

“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!”

“Johnny truly goes above and beyond for your pet and the whole family. He is the best sitter we have ever had by far, there is no comparison. He pays attention to detail and truly does the best job.”

“Once again Danni was terrific with our pets. She really treated and cared for them as individuals including our cat Lara who needed to be kept separate from the others due to her special diet. Thank you again Danni!”

“Tyler was great checking in on my puppy! I am confident that my dog is in good hands and being cared for with updates, quick communication, and cute photos!! Definitely recommend!”

“I am so glad I found Alina. She took exceptional care of my baby boy, Taz. She sent thorough summaries of my cat’s eating behaviors, energy levels and activity. The pictures prove to me that he felt safe with her and it really eased my mind while I was away. I will be using her as my sitter for all future trips, which is pretty often. Highly recommend her!”

“Bekah did wonderful with my pup! Was very attentive to him and his needs. She also left a detailed note and took lots of pictures. Would definitely book her again! :)”

“Ryan was so great! I have three dogs. Two pits and a rotty. My rotty is 13 and limps. He is who I worried about the most but Ryan was so patient with him, helped him up and gave him all the pets.”

“Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Zoey while we were out of town. She met with her before we left and Zoey loved her. We would definitely recommend her.”

“Tina was great with my two cats. She was very attentive to details which I really appreciated and provided good notes and pics for each visit. I will definitely rebook.”

“Everything went as perfectly as it could’ve. My dog never usually eats around strangers which worried me a bit before leaving but he ate everytime he was supposed to with Emma!”

“Iuliia goes above and beyond for you and your pet. She is sweet and easy to work with. Thank you for taking care of Lalo during my birthday trip. You made me feel at ease.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl. I got my first dog when I was 13 years old and she was 2 months old. She’s a yellow lab whose name is Luna and she is currently 10 1/2 years old! I trained her myself and when she turned 1 year old and I was 14 years old we became a therapy dog team. We went to schools, nursing homes, and did personal home visits. I got my first dog as an adult on my own when I was 20 years old and she was 2 1/2 months old. She’s a Doberman Pinscher whose name is Katana and she is currently 3 years old! I have volunteered nearly 1,000 hours to The Humane Society of Tampa Bay. Volunteering on sight at the shelter, at events, and I am also a kitten foster mom for them. I did a 3 week internship with a working dog breed trainer and loved it. Although I love all types of dogs, I have an extra soft spot for large working breed dogs. There is no type of breed that I have an issue being around. Whether your dog weighs single digits or all the way up to triple digits, I care for them all the same. I traditionally have a pretty flexible schedule and am happy to work out what is best for you and what is best for your pet. I have an array of pets in my own home so I am only able to care for your pet/s in your home. I find that it is safest for not only my animals but also yours. I’m a very clean person so your home will never be less than how you left it. Having so many animals of my own pushes me to be even cleaner. Although we love our pets dearly, they can get stinky and their things along with them! If your dog is comfortable with grooming, I have no issues bathing them, brushing them, drying them, and cleaning their ears. If there is anything I haven’t mentioned, please feel free to ask and we can try to work something out.
“Excellent experience with Amanda. Timely in responses, communicative about her visits with our cat, and provided plenty of photos and updates through the trip. Very good service and is an instant re-book for us when we have future trips. :)”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my house all throughout my life and love taking care of them, I currently have a mini golden doodle who loves his little life! I recently left my job so I have ample free time to handle pet care. I am free all throughout the week, at all points throughout the day. My schedule is as free as it gets and I am looking to spend it with dogs! I live in a condo but we have a dog park within walking distance and a big open field I take my dog to. If you need your dog to stay here, my girlfriend and I love having more dogs in our space. For me, it’s all about making the dog feel comfortable and giving it all the attention that it needs. If I am watching your dog or walking your dog, that will be my only focus!
“we’re usually pretty good with scheduling our time , this time it got kinda wonky and riley was so accomdating to fixing the schedule changes !! was on time and messaged back very quickly 10/10 will use her again if she’ll have us 🙂”

About: I worked at a doggy day care for years and miss hanging out and caring for all the pups! I’ve cared for friends, family and neighbors pets for years, of all sizes and breeds. I’m comfortable administering medication if need be and will always take extra special care of your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 💜 I’m currently a single stay at home mom with my 2 boys. My schedule is very flexible and I more often than not can accept same day bookings/visits! My cat is on a strict feeding schedule with prescription food so I understand how important it is to be punctual. I walk my sisters dog every other day (the evenings she’s working late and can’t do it herself) and love providing enrichment games for both pets to make sure they’re living their best and happiest life!
