House Sitting in Gandy-Sun Bay South, Tampa

“Deanna was absolutely amazing! I felt completely at ease knowing she was not only taking great care of my dog, Oscar, but also looking after my home. She sent daily updates with fun and thoughtful photos that made being away so much easier. It was clear Oscar was being loved and treated like one of her own. I’m so thankful for her care and attention and will definitely be using her for all my future dog sitting needs. Highly recommend her services! Thank you so much, Deanna!”

“Alexis was THE best cat sitter. She provided plenty of updates, photos and videos and was so understanding of my (weird) cat’s wants and needs. I felt so much better being away from my anxious kitty with Alexis there. Highly recommend!”

Caitlin G.

“Fabulous care and communication: my cats were in great hands with Barbara and my home was well cared for and just as I left it: I would happily book her again to care for my kitties!”

About: Hi! I’m George, I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up with my dogs, walking and sitting my neighbors dogs. You can trust me to care for your family member. I look forward to hosting your 4 legged child :) I work from home and do not currently have a dog. Therefore, your dog’s schedule will become my schedule when I’m watching it. Whether it be walks, playing fetch, I will take care of your dog as if it were my own. I believe in adjusting care for each pet. Whether your pet needs frequent walks, or wants to sleep all day, I will cater to each individual animals needs. As for safety in my home, I do not like having a lot of stuff so there is not anything for the animal to eat that it shouldn’t eat, additionally, I work from home so I will be with your animal 24/7.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced caregiver with over ten years of experience pet sitting, walking, and care. I’m currently a PhD student studying wild chimpanzee behavior, and I have managed a wild baboon behavioral research project. I have extensive knowledge of animal behavior, which helps me understand body language, stress signals, and individual temperament. This allows me to provide attentive, personalized care and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. Beyond research, I have worked in both exotic and domestic animal husbandry, and have hands-on experience in wildlife rehabilitation. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including senior pets and those with medical needs. I am experienced in administering medications, including subcutaneous injections, and I always prioritize patience, comfort, and individualized care. As a lifelong pet owner myself (dogs and a beloved rabbit!), I know how important it is to find a trustworthy and attentive sitter. Whether your pet needs an active walk, extra snuggles, or specialized care, I’d love to help! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a PhD student with a flexible research schedule, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs. I also offer boarding in a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. My experience managing animal care in various settings has made me highly organized and adaptable, so you can trust that your pet will receive consistent attention and affection. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. My home is currently pet-free, as my senior dog and rabbit recently crossed the rainbow bridge, making it a quiet environment where your pet will be the center of attention. For boarding, I ensure a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. I maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible, providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and companionship. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring specialized care, and always prioritize their comfort and well-being.

“Gabby did an amazing job loving on my 5-month old kitten, Nacho, and communicating with me while I was gone! She was open to staying at the house with him for a few days, which we really appreciate. She not only cuddled up with him on the couch, but she also put him in his harness and played with him outside. Nacho, who’s very needy as a kitten, was much more relaxed thanks to her stay with him. We will be returning clients for sure!”

About: I cared for my own rescue dog for 6 wonderful years and have dog-sat countless times for friends. I work remotely, so I’m often helping with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I also have experience caring for cats while friends are away. In addition, I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician supporting children with special needs, which strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and ability to handle unexpected situations—skills that translate beautifully to pet care. I am currently employed full time, but in a 100% remote position. I'm able to work from any location, so long as there is accessible WiFi and my trusty laptop! It's easy for me to step away for walks and special attention. I will always ensure I'm 100% understanding of each pets needs! A leash will always be utilized on walks, and I'm always sure to keep treats on me when needed. I love to give belly rubs and hugs, and also enjoy playing and running around!

“Michele was so great and communicative. I got pictures at every visit and I could tell she genuinely cared about my cat! Would 100% book again!”

Morgan Z.

“Christie was terrific! She took great care of Coco, which gave us a day off for fun on our anniversary. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you Christie!”

About: I’ve cared for animals for thirty years and love spending time with them! I am experienced in training dogs and spotting unwanted behavior as well as administering medicine etc. I enjoy playing with pets and would love to help you keep yours happy and healthy! I no longer have a yard but take I work from home and I am very flexible so I have no problem going to take care of your loved one or bringing them over to have a sleepover!

About: I’ve grown up all of my life with dogs so I’m familiar with smaller and larger breeds. I also have a special place in my heart for cats! I’m my friends and family’s go to person for pet-sitting. I’m currently in grad school, but my class schedule changes regularly. I have off on weekends in which I spend most of my time studying! Studying breaks are the perfect time for me take your loved ones on walks as well as before/after class starts. The goal is to keep the routine you have for your pets if possible! After discussing the norm, we can create a plan from there

About: I grew up with dogs, and I have taken care of dogs for family and friends. I have had my own dog for 3 years (a dachshund who is my whole world!) I also have lived with cats and love all animals! I am a teacher, so I’m off in the summers and free all day every day! During the school year, I will be available on some weekends and nights! I have a small dog that can be friendly if your dog wants a friend, but I am used to dogs needing separate attention as well! I live in a walkable neighborhood and have an apartment on the first floor. I don’t mind coming to you or you coming to me!

“I was so nervous to leave my dogs with a stranger for the first time but Patricia was everything I could have asked for. She was very professional and even came over to meet the dogs before hand. She sent me pictures everyday of my pets which made me feel so much better. I would definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I cared for my own dog at home when my parents were at work. I took him out, played with him, and fed him. I’ve taken care of a few other dogs in Tampa belonging to my friends. I have a passion for dogs, and I always give them as much love and care as I can! I go to the University of Tampa. I have class Monday/Wednesday from 11:30-1 and then 2:30-6. On Tuesday/Thursday I have class only 10-12pm. Friday I have classes 11:30-1 and 2:30-3:40. I also live about 5 minutes from campus. My professors are very flexible as well. Please let me know what your needs are and I will make sure they’re met!! I live in Post Hyde Park where we have 2 fenced in dog parks. The dogs love to run around and play with toys in there to get some energy out! I am happy to keep your dog in a crate if needed, but I am beyond happy to let dogs on my furniture/bed. I make sure to keep water and food out for them and pet them as much as they need!!
