“My fur baby has found a new second home! Cece and her family take such good care of my pup. He loves going to her house and I get tons of updates, pictures and videos while he’s there. Highly recommend!!”


“Laura and Martha were amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my fur baby for a week while I went on a trip because it was super last minute, but that did not last long. I got so many pictures and updates of her, it was so nice to have reassurance that she was having a great time! I love the backyard area they have for the dogs, it’s like a little doggy playground it looked like they all had so much fun! I think it was so awesome for my dog to be around others the whole time too, she loves to play with other dogs and she’s the happiest when she gets to play. I also love how she was always with someone because if Laura was busy, Martha was there and vice-versa! They did a great job and it looked like Winnie had so so much fun. Thank you guys for taking such good care of her and making her feel at home and letting me know how she was doing. It was also great that they responded frequently and any questions I had at all. I loved all the Winnie content I got while I was on my trip it made me so happy! Will definitely be coming back 🥰”


“Would highly recommend Kristin! She sent a lot of updates and my dogs seemed to be having a great time the entire time they were in her care. Everyone in her family is a dog lover so there was no shortage of attention to go around. Looking forward to using her again in the future!”


“Very friendly and accommodating! Looked after my frenchton for what was supposed to be one night that ended up being two as I had flight problems. They were very courteous and very good with Luke. Highly recommend!”


“Very happy we selected Elena to watch our dog. Cooper has 3 legs so needs a little extra help at times. Elena sent lots of pictures/videos every day and gave me very detailed and fun updates on how my pup was doing. I feel like she goes above what is required to ensure your day is happy while you are away. I will definitely use her again.”


“Maxine went above and beyond for Maddy! I got the CUTEST photos of Maddy throughout the stay and I could tell she got so much love and attention all week long 💕🐾💕 Happy dog + happy dog mom!”


“Wish I could give more stars! Eric responded super quickly and was available for last minute boarding. Both my lab and mini dachshund loved spending time at his place and playing in the huge yard! I got pictures and updates daily. He was super helpful and was able to extend my trip and keep my pups longer when something came up! Will definitely be using him again”


“Windell was awesome!!! I will definitely be using his services whenever my Best friend Bam Bam can’t tag along with me! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!! We will see you next time!!!”


“Nicholas and is wife are wonderful pet sitters. They took good care of our Fur Baby. After talking to them and meeting them, I felt comfortable living my Fur Baby in their hands. They walked him twice a day and sent pictures.”


“Lacey was amazing. She was able to accommodate us at last minute. She communicated well and made Lily feel at home. We definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter in that area.”


“Fue mi primera vez usando Rover y quedé encantada con el servicio. Daniela me mantuvo informada todos los días con mensajes y fotos, y la comunicación fue excelente. Mi perrito estuvo feliz y bien cuidado; sin duda la elegiría nuevamente. It was my first time using Rover and I was very happy with the service. Daniela kept me updated every day with messages and photos, and communication was excellent. My dog was happy and well cared for — I would definitely book with her again.”



“My baby Sunny stayed with Shawn last night for her 2nd time. He sent us a lot of pictures of her playing with her new friends and I must say she had so much fun!! I have no worries about my baby when I know she’s with Shawn:) Thank you so much for taking care of our baby. See you soon!”

“Thank you so much for taking great care of Max, she enjoyed staying with you. Nicole was very accommodating and made me feel very comfortable leaving Max with her. I'd recommend Nicole for anyone looking to take care of their best friend.”

“Rose was an excellent sitter for Sophie! She was extremely communicative and sent a ton of picture updates. Upon picking Sophie up, we could tell that she had made a connection with Rose. Would absolutely have Sophie stay with her again!”


“Tim just watched my special-needs dog Roxy and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Tim was caring, communicative, and very engaged. Roxy needs help to walk so his extra attention and care was important. He hit a home run for sure! He sent many pictures and text updates. And he was very flexible when our pick-up schedule had to extend shortly. I would highly recommend him and will hope to board with him again in the future.”


About: Hey, I’m Gabby! I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Tampa with a private fenced park - plenty of space for walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m around all day to hang out with your pup, give them attention, and keep them company. I recently lost my soul dog, Romeo, and I understand how much your dog means to you. To me, pets are family, and I treat them like my own. Your pup’s safety is my #1 priority, and I’ll provide them with a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I also help out with a local dog rescue in Tampa, so I’m experienced with all types of dogs (puppies to seniors, big to small, low energy to high energy) and can handle meds if needed. I just want your dog to feel at home, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. I remember when I needed pet sitters in the past I was so nervous and would do all my research to make sure my sitter was safe and experienced. I can ensure you that with me, your pups will be well taken care of, loved, and safe! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock pet care 24/7. Let me know what your pets schedule is like and I will maintain it. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority. All safety measures are taken to provide a safe experience for everyone. This includes complete supervision, proper fitting gear, safe walking routes and other measures to ensure the well being of all.
