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: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I also helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 3 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 3 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. For those looking for a HOUSE SITTER, I can work from your house during the day to give your pups all the attention them need. I’m unavailable to stay overnight but will ensure your animals are taken for a late night walk/potty break before bedtime, and we will return first thing in the morning. I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.

This was my first time Rachel took care of my dog, and I will definitely book her again. She took so good care of Snum. She understood my dogs sometimes weird behavior and worries (thunder, rain, wind etc.) she kept me informed every day, and she even cleaned my kitchen! I never worried for a second leaving Snum and my house in her care.

About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.

About: I’ve had five dogs during my life. I grew up taking care of 2 of them, grooming, walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also dog sat numerous friends’ and neighbors’ dogs both as overnights and drop ins. Currently I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and social, they would be very happy to have a new friend to play with! I work 15 minutes from home Monday-Thursday. On Friday I work from home so I would be with your pet all day Friday-Sunday. On days when I am in the office, I can quickly come home to walk and potty the pet if needed. I have 2 dogs that are very social and friendly to keep your pet company. I also have 2 dog crates should your pet be more comfortable in a crated environment while away.

About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.

We had an amazing experience with Jen watching our energetic Vizsla puppy over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he got plenty of exercise and care. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pup, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Joanna was amazing caring for our pups and home while we were away for a week. She was incredibly meticulous with her level of care, especially with our temperamental senior pup and overzealous younger pup that tries to be the alpha. Joanna was great with communication and we would love to hire her again and again. 10 out of 10 stars!

About: My experience being solely responsible for pets and playing with pups ranges all the way back to when I was in elementary school about ~25 years ago. Over all the years many friends and family members have asked me to watch their pets in several capacities. This could be for just a few days to somewhere around 10-14 days. Taking their pets to my home, stopping by theirs a few times a day, or just taking them out on a whim when needed. I wanted to extend the same courtesy to my neighbors. When I learned what boarding rates were I couldn’t believe it. I’m in this more to help folks out who need the assistance (especially in a pinch) than I am to derive any form of surmountable income. I am retired from the United States Army and care more about helping/leading others than I do profiteering from them. Being retired and working part-time, I find myself with lot of time and availability to help those who need it, especially in a pinch. I never find myself meeting a pet I don’t click with almost immediately, so I am open to taking on new pups, felines, and of course their caring owners. Once an initial conversation is had it’s very easy to fit the mold of a pet’s routine and/or preferences. Please let me know how I can best assist you and your loved ones.

I had such a great experience with Kiran! She kept me updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures of Franklin, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much reassurance seeing how happy and comfortable he was. She was very responsive and even accommodated having a friend pick him up, which made everything super easy. She took him on long walks, played with him, and made sure he was entertained and well cared for the entire time. It truly gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely book with her again.

About: Growing up surrounded by 3 dogs and various small animals, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for caring for our furry friends. From grooming, to walks, feeding, and providing love, animal care has always felt second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and my own dog’s unique needs—extreme separation anxiety—have deepened my understanding and compassion for pets with special requirements. In addition to my dog care experience, I’ve also cared for a variety of small animals, including fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and even ducks! I believe every animal deserves love and attention, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Professionally, I work as an Executive Assistant, where I manage schedules, coordinate logistics, and handle high levels of responsibility and organization every day. That same reliability, attention to detail, and communication carries over into the care I provide for pets and their owners. I understand how important trust and consistency are when leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. My commitment to animal welfare extends beyond pet care. I’ve actively volunteered at shelters and organized food drives to support animals in need. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy but also passionate about providing the best care for your beloved pets, I’m here to help. I work in St. Pete about 3-4 times a week in office and work from home in Tampa the other days. My schedule is flexible. For the weekends I have no set commitments making me extremely flexible. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pets and your home. I always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed carefully, and your space is kept clean, safe, and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.

Our experience with Patricia was fantastic from start to finish. She took amazing care of Ziggy, providing regular updates and lots of photos throughout our trip. It was clear he was well loved and entertained. He got plenty of playtime, especially fetch, which he loves. We returned to a happy dog and a house that was left immaculate. Highly recommend and would definitely use her again.

Highly recommend! We had a unique request that she was very open minded to. We had a big party and wanted someone to attend to the dogs with us around. Elena is so sweet and incredibly flexible, even moving them around to quieter space so they stayed calm and out of the way during the arrival of guests. She was nice, very reliable, and got the job done perfectly. I look forward to her sitting for us again.

Alexandra did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two golden retrievers during our 10-day vacation! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and kept us updated with tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent so much time playing with them, keeping them happy, active, and loved. She even asked permission before treating them to pup cups, such a thoughtful and considerate touch! It was clear our dogs were having the best time and were in wonderful hands. We came home to two very happy pups and a stress-free experience. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive house sitter/pet sitter!

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Monique. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. This was by far the best experience I’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She made sure my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. You can truly tell she has a natural connection with animals and treats them as if they were her own. My dog can be a little particular, and she handled everything with so much patience, care, and attention to detail. My dog loves her 🤩 What I appreciated the most was her communication — she kept me updated throughout the day with messages, photos, and little updates that gave me so much peace of mind. I never once felt worried because I knew my dog was in the best hands. She was also incredibly reliable, punctual, and respectful of my home. Everything was exactly as I left it (if not better!), and she followed all instructions perfectly. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I would 100% book her again and again without hesitation and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly exceptional. Thank you so much again for taking such incredible care of my baby! 💛
