“Amanda is great! She is very punctual and is very good with our dog Willow! I would absolutely recommend her and will continue to use her for our dog Walking needs.”


“Martha is amazing! Wiggles is like velcro to here mama and she happily went with Martha and got excited when I told her Martha was coming. She was also gracious in accepting me as a client when I had covid, very kind and brave. I highly recommend Martha for walks or boarding. Thanks Martha!”

“Regina is a very experienced dog walker/pet sitter. Her professionalism is apparent from her first visit. She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives. She makes us aware of any concerns she may have with my dogs heath or if there is any concerns at my house during the visit, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.”
“The animals and us humans love Lydia! We’ve had the pleasure of using her services quite a few times for dog walks and cat care and she’s my absolute go-to. Always amazing!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. As an adult, I rescued and trained two dogs of my own and have experience as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own and I will be especially careful to follow any instructions you may have for their care. I am currently working part-time so I am free to visit with and/or walk your pups during the day. I can also check in on your cats or other small pets. I am available for midday visits and walks, and overnight pet sitting. I can also bring in packages, mail, or follow any other special instructions. I will care for your pets as if they were my own.
“Melissa is great. I’ve always been leary about these kinds of services, but after meeting Melissa and reading her reviews, I knew this was the right choice. She is very communicative (which I appreciate) and my little guy loves her. I’m sad to see her go.”

“My dogs love stephanie! She is a great person and very kind. I am very happy with the decision i made. She took picture and updated us during the walk. Thank you for helping us!”

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.
“Brookelynn was fantastic! I have two older dogs. She was very patient with them and treated them kindly. She communicated effectively and provided me with several updates while I was away. I’m very pleased with the level of care she provided and would definitely use her services again!”
“I can’t say enough about how amazing Athena and Richi are in caring for my baby, Panda. This is my first time leaving town since I lost my 11-year-old bulldog, and I’ve been so nervous, but Athena and Richi have truly put my mind at ease. They’ve been so thoughtful with check-ins, pictures, and videos of Panda having a blast at the dog park—it’s clear they treat him like their own. The professionalism they bring to their care is top-notch, and I feel so comfortable knowing they’re there. What’s even better is that these are not just experiences I’m having while away; they’ve been just as wonderful during our weekly sessions with Panda as well. On top of that, they’ve even been kind enough to bring in packages for me! I’m so grateful for how accommodating and dependable they’ve been, and I genuinely appreciate everything they’ve done. Thank you, Athena and Richi—you’ve made this experience so much easier, and Panda loves his time with you!”


About: I’ve had two dogs and a cat at home in my lifetime, helped train them, and am very good at taking care of them. I also worked with a hunting dog training program, cleaning kennels, feeding, and playing with working dogs. I am a full time student so I can do evenings or check-ins and potty breaks, but mostly weekends will fit best with my schedule! I will follow the rules set by the home owners, whether that comes down to feeding or potty rules or walking rules! whatever the guidelines are is how i will treat the animals and home!
About: Hello! My name is Emily - your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. As a life long animal lover, I have experience babysitting dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a few reptiles. I provide care to animals of all breeds and ages. I keep my travel distance radius small so I may provide the highest quality of focused care to my clients - even on holidays. Quality time is everything when Mom and Dad are away! I look forward to spending one on one time with your pet, and maintaining their usual schedule. Please show me all of your pet's favorite toys and walking routes. And please don't forget to leave treats! I always schedule an initial meet and greet with new clients. I am happy to come to your home to review all details and instructions.
About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Dunedin and occasionally visit SWFL. I’ve been caring for ALL types of animals since I was a kid, and it’s something I truly love! I have 2 cats of my own, regularly dogsit German Shepherds for a close friend, volunteer with the Humane Society of Pinellas, and support the Suncoast Animal League. Having worked with pets of all ages, from bottle babies to seniors with special needs, my best approach is to calmly match energy. Patience is more than key, and I will always respect each animal’s unique personality as well as nonverbal boundaries. Pet care is my full-time job! Working with animals and supporting my community are truly my passions. I’m very savvy with time management and love keeping my schedule steady, reliable, and flexible for my clients. Unless we discuss otherwise, I typically spend 30–40 minutes at each drop-in to give your pets proper attention and care without ever rushing. Weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests are always welcome! Even if my calendar shows I’m booked, still feel free to reach out. Further distances and specific circumstances may incur additional fees, which will always be disclosed before confirming. Caring for pets in their own home helps them feel safe and secure in a familiar space. With my own animals at home, this setup also works best for me! I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual routines and paying close attention to their comfort, body language, and any changes in behavior. A calm, familiar environment is essential for building an organic, trusting relationship between new human and pet.
About: My first job, at age 12, was pet sitting/dog walking. I've had pets my entire life ranging from dogs and cats to rodents, fish, and reptiles. I currently have 4 cats. I have experience with older dogs and cats as well kittens and puppies. I've also spent years working in customer service so no request will be too much. I have plenty of time for walks and playtime. I can keep up whatever routine your pet is used to. I live near a dog park and can take your pup if they like to play with other dogs If your dog doesn't like cats, my cats can easily be kept separate in my room. They spend most of their day sleeping in there anyway
