“Ashley was amazing with my boys. First time I’ve ever left them with anyone other than family and she didn’t disappoint. Constant communication and sent multiple pics of them. I will definitely use her again when I need to! Thank you so much for taking care of Henry and Remmy for us!!”


“Kelli was absolutely amazing!! I booked this for my Mom as we were going on a long trip and she was very nervous to have a “stranger” watch her dogs. We book Kelli months ago and during that time we had meet & greets, texted back & forth, and then had a couple walk throughs before the trip. Kelli is a ray of sunshine to talk to and loves the animals. She did a PERFECT job of watching the dogs, fish and chickens! She stayed in touch during the trip, sent pictures and the animals were all safe & sound when we returned. I couldn’t recommend her enough and we will use her going forward for other trips.”


“Carly is the best! My pup Tucker was well cared for during our long weekend trip. She gave updates often with pictures and a full follow up on how things went. It was such a relief to not have to worry about him while we were on vacation. 10/10 service!! Will rebook!”


“Linda is amazing. First, I reached out to her with a last minute need and she responded almost immediately and worked with me on my pets needs. Linda listened to every detail of our routine and asked all the right questions for things I left out. While I was gone she sent me photos of my pups and you could immediately tell they were so well cared for. Receiving text messages with pictures of our dogs playing or getting a belly rub enabled us to relax and enjoy our trip. We could see they were in good hands. We are so glad Linda was available to visit them every day. She even stayed over the one night because she could tell my one pup was super anxious when she would leave for the evening. She not only cared for them like her own but made sure they had toys on Christmas, treats, and new beds. She is a caring and competent professional. We highly recommend her and will never use anyone else! Thanks a ton Linda from us and Kiki and Molly!”


“Stephanie was great! She stayed over with my 3 senior dogs and took such great care of them! We coordinated a “meet and greet” beforehand and I could tell instantly that the dogs loved her. Would definitely recommend!”


“She was so wonderful with my precious pet and she watered my plants. Definitely use her again. Great with my cat. Arrived early and did everything that my cat needed, including playing with him. Fantastic!”


“Another great stay with J! Sheets washed, house clean, and our kitchen may have been cleaner than when we left. Our dog loves his long walks and play time. Will use again!”


“What a great sitter, she paid extra attention to my little one that howels when im away!! Walked them fed them and gave them a lot of attention. I am on vacay and I got stuck in traffic and TJ stayed after our agreement and waited for me !! That was much appreciated”


About: I was a dog trainer in Michigan and have a lot of experience with animal behavior. I have also watched animals and have a good understanding of animal psychology. I work on a fishing charter so any days I have off I will be available for dog walking. Any nights I do not work the next day I will be available for pet sitting. I am well versed in animal behavior due to past experiences and will be able to ensure your animals safety when watching or walking your dog or cat

About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember! We used to foster sick animals and newborns when I was younger, so we had many dogs and cats come through our house. This in turn resulted in my love for animals to grow immensely, as I wanted to provide as much love as possible to our fosters while they were with us. Currently, I have a two year old Goldendoodle who is my pride and joy. She is pampered and treated like royalty, as she deserves. I also have a nine year old cat that I adore, he is incredibly loving and affectionate. I consider your pets to be just as important as my own, and will treat them as such! I currently work from home for three days out of the week, so I have some flexibility with my schedule. Happy to discuss further with any future clients! Happy to be flexible based on the animals current routine, whether that means letting them out in the yard or taking them for a walk to use the restroom.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes, but big dogs have always had a special place in my heart! I currently have a Boston Terrier who loves to cuddle—she’s truly one of my best friends and fits her role as a companion dog perfectly. I’m also a proud cat mom to two amazing cats. One is a rescue we raised from a kitten—he has three legs, is absolutely beautiful, and loves to talk (a lot!). My other cat has been with me since I was a teenager. I raised her from a kitten too, and she’s truly my girl—she even acts like a dog sometimes! My pets mean the world to me, and I treat every animal I meet like one of my own. I know how important our fur babies are, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Right now, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week at any hour. Caring for pets—whether it’s a cat, a dog, or both—easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. All I ask is for a clear list of tasks, including feeding times, portion sizes, walks (for dogs), litter box duties (for cats), and any other specific care instructions. Sharing a few details about your pet’s personality and preferences is optional, but it really helps me understand what they love, what they don’t, and how to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I care for animals with love and respect, treating them the way I’d want to be treated. I never force them to do anything they’re uncomfortable with—I know animals communicate through body language, not words, so I pay close attention to their signals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. Their comfort and well-being always come first with me.

About: “My experience comes from the dogs and cats I’ve had throughout my life; my last one baby has passed away, but she was loved, cared for, and protected like a precious treasure (14,5 years old). I adore dogs and cats. Pets have a very important role in my life.” “Right now, I only have a few hours of a part-time online job that can be adjusted around any other activity; I have plenty of free time — just contact me and we can work something out.” “I care for pets in my clients’ homes with love and responsibility. I ensure their safety by supervising them at all times and making sure the environment is comfortable and hazard-free. I keep constant communication with the owners to build trust and tailor the care to each pet’s specific needs, creating a safe and harmonious space for them.”

About: I have been around dogs and cats all my life and currently own two dogs, one being a foster. I have worked as a veterinarian technician and as a marine biologist for the Florida Aquarium, so I have been around a diversity of animals to include exotics. I also volunteer with a rescue organization in Tampa, which moves dogs out of overcrowded shelters and drives them to Florida so they can be put into the foster homes and later adopted. The way I look at your pet is as if he was my pet and would treat him the same. I work early, which allows me to get home around 1 o’clock, so I have the ability to spend a lot of time in the afternoon and evening with the pets. Weekends are relaxed with plenty of walking and trips to the parks. My pets are my family and they have free range of the home so for them to sleep on their beds or on the couch is fine with me. Most nights at least one dog is sleeping in the bed. Well, I do not have a fenced in backyard. I do take them out for walks throughout the afternoon and evening and first thing in the morning as an avid runner I am constantly on the move and the dogs go with me. That also includes trips for pup cups.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 12 years old for family and family friends. I have my own fur babies an English Bulldog named Chief and a pit bull mix named Chewy that we rescued. I have developed more knowledge of pet allergies, sensitivities, and pet anxiety since having them. Animals hold a special place in my heart and I have always loved being around them. I’m currently working full time weekdays. I am open to house-sitting on the weekends. Checking in on your fur babies during the weekdays after work. I can not board any animals due to having my own fur babies, but am more than willing to take care of them at your home.

“What can I say? This girl did a great job with my little cooper. She is very communicative and took inactive to feed cooper when I couldn’t respond. This is what you want. Someone to take care of your dog like it’s her own. Thank you”


About: I have had multiple dogs in my life including great pyramies, German shepherds, Australian shepherds and border collies, to name a few i have also had Guinea pigs, birds, cats, hamsters. Etc. . They're not just pets, they're family members At this moment I am not working so I will have plenty of time to dedicate towards your furry family members as much as possible . Your dogs and cats will get plenty of play time and because I am going to class for dog training I can understand more about furry family member and maybe teach them a thing or 2 .

About: I've cared for dogs and cats for many years and have had my own cat for over 8 years. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or relaxing walks, I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved in my care. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I start and end my days caring for animals whether it's feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. I'm very flexible and enjoy incorporating pet visits or walks into my schedule throughout the week. Making sure pets feel safe, exercised, and loved is something I truly enjoy and prioritize. In my home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by providing a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I follow any feeding, walking, or medication instructions exactly as given. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure their pet feels secure and loved in a familiar environment. I keep things tidy, stick to schedules, and always send updates so you feel at ease while you're away.

She’s now so loved, so spoiled, and living her best life because of him. Greg has always shown up for animals. He’s constantly fostering, volunteering at shelters, and going above and beyond to make sure every dog he meets feels seen and cared for. He even adored my late dog Lucky, and the bond they had meant the world to me. Knowing how much love he gave to Lucky, and now to his adopted pup, I can say without a doubt—Greg will be your dog’s new best friend. He’s truly one of the good ones.”
