“This was Rachel’s second time watching Max and we were just as pleased as the first time. She is super attentive to his needs and routine and sends us plenty of pictures to keep us updated on how he’s doing. Not to mention Max LOVES Rachel and was super excited to see her again.”

“Zach watched our 3 dogs for us, ages 14, 2 and 1 1/2. He is absolutely the best. Would send us updates and pictures and videos of the dogs. He even cooked them chicken breast and ground beef! Pick up poop in the hard, Did all the laundry before he left which he didn’t need to do of, and without asking, I had planned on doing it. If you are looking for someone who you can 100% and know you due babies are in good hands. Zach is you goto guy! We could not be happier”

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 also don’t need to stay over night if you’d feel more comfortable with me leaving late and returning early in the morning. Just let me know! 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.
“Angela did a wonderful job. She was reliable, communicative, sent pictures and did awesome with our 3 animals. We returned to a clean house and happy puppies. 😊 we'll definitely be making her our regular sitter when we head out of town. Thanks Angela!”

“Teagan stayed at my place for three days and took excellent care of my dogs. She kept me updated on their well-being and ensured the house was maintained. It was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend Teagan for any pet-sitting needs!”

“I couldn’t be happier with Kailee and the care my cats, Fiona and Phoebe, received! She was incredibly responsive and responsible, and I truly felt at ease knowing my kittens were in such good hands. Kailee was sweet and caring, took the time to play with them, and sent regular photo updates where you could clearly see how happy and comfortable they were. It was obvious she really connected with them — even my more reserved cat warmed up to her quickly! I will absolutely reach out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy cat sitter.”

About: First time in my life I have not owned a dog, I have been a go to for friends when they need a sitter for years. I would love to share my love for animals with your critters : ) I’ve owned aggressive dogs, nervous/insecure dogs, had between 1 and 6 in the house at a time, raised pups from as young as 8 weeks, love training and am happy to continue working on whatever it is you need from fun/cute tricks to muzzle/crate training. I work from home every day but Thursdays, my office is dog friendly and usually has 2-5 dogs each day. If your dog is more comfortable in an enclosed office I can take one but typically work in the open office setting where they can be free to visit coworkers and play with other pups or be tied to my desk to keep a closer eye. Can also stay home most of the time if you are more comfortable with them staying in my home. Love a morning walk to start my day, enclosed backyard so they can have quick bathroom access whenever needed. In my home pets are welcome to hang on my bed next to my desk while I work and look out the window, have 1 dog bed and blankets for comfortable floor time or space for a crate. Whatever is most comfortable for your pet. Pretty typical routine, I work 9-6 with an hour for lunch whenever is convenient. Usually up around 7am and winding down by 10-11pm
About: Hi there! I’ve loved animals since I was 8 and grew up on a farm surrounded by furry (and feathery!) friends. I have tons of experience and super flexible hours while I search for my next career — perfect for giving your pets all the love they deserve! I am free all day everyday currently as I’m new to Tampa and am working to start my career in real estate. Just looking to make some connections and extra cash! Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who truly believes every pet deserves patience, love, and comfort. My care style is gentle, attentive, and full of affection — I always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a shy rescue cat, I make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. 🐾 Both my dog and cat are rescues, so I know how important trust and consistency are. They sleep inside at night, have regular vet checkups, and get plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I care for every pet as if they were my own — with kindness, warmth, and a big heart. 💕
“Sydney is great! My almost 16 year old, medically complex, dog was in good hands with her. Sydney was able to provide wound care and medication management for Zoey and took great care of our home. We will definitely be booking Sydney again.”

“Isabella did an excellent job taking care of my dogs. She was responsible, communicative, and attentive throughout the entire stay. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and large cats, and I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My wide ranging experience gives me the knowledge and confidence to care for a variety of pets and ensure their happiness while you’re away! I recently moved to Tampa and am currently looking for a full time job, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available to provide consistent care throughout the week and can adjust to fit your pet’s routine, whether that means daily visits, walks, or overnight stays. I’m committed to making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. I provide a safe, comfortable, and clean environment for pets in my care. My apartment has a decent-sized balcony and plenty of space to accommodate a crate, feeding station, pee pads, and toys. Plus a dog park! I make sure pets have a consistent routine for meals, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I always follow any special instructions from owners to meet each pet’s unique needs. I also give plenty of attention, love, and supervision so pets feel secure and happy while in my care, whether it’s a short visit, overnight stay, or extended boarding.
“Can not say enough good things about Patricia. She watched my dogs for a week during hurricane Elsa. She communicated and sent pictures several times a day. Highly recommend her. We will use her again.”
“Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!”

About: I’ve taken care of all different kinds of dogs big or little. I’ve walked, washed, and feed. I’ve stand over to spend time with the dogs. I work full time but am done by 3:00pm so I have all evening to hang and play with animals. I don’t work summer so I have more time to play and hang. I have a fenced in yard. I also allow dogs on my bed and could sleep with. They are also allowed on the couch. I love animals.

Calista was fantastic with our 2 dogs. She sent so many updates and pictures and was a great communicator. I felt very comfortable with her in my home over the weekend and will definitely be using her again. She even came back when I realized I was getting home late to come check on my girls which was so so kind.

Blair took wonderful care of my dog Ollie while pet sitting this past weekend. I received sweet pictures and updates about him while I was away and my house was well kept and clean upon my return as well! Highly recommend to anyone around the Tampa area who needs a quality dog sitter while they’re away!
