“Monika took great care of my baby! She sent lots of pictures throughout the week and even snuggled with him. She played with him in the yard and even cleaned up his pkgs! Thank you Monika!”
“Janiellee is AMAZING. I am so glad I found her for my anxious dog. She was willing and able to do the meet and greet to go over everything, taking time out of her day. She was prompt and prepared on the day of dog sitting and was able to handle the two anxious dogs with no problems. The house was well maintained and she was respectful. I cannot say enough nice things about her. We plan to use her in the future and feel comfortable with our experience in our house with our dogs.”
“Angela is fantastic! She was able to house sit on a last minute request and completely put me at ease with her compassionate and responsive care. She took wonderful care of my 2 dogs and sent me frequent updates and photos throughout. My dogs were calm and happy when we returned home. I will absolutely be requesting her more in the future!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, pet sat around my neighborhood, throughout college I walked multiple dogs and stayed at people's homes with their dogs, and now own 2 of my own! I absolutely love dogs and expect the highest care if someone was watching my dogs, so that's what I promise to provide to other's dogs as well. I work from home so I am able to go over to walk them or spend time with them at any point in the day. My husband and I live together, so I am available for overnight stays at your house to keep your dogs in their own element while you are out of town as well. I care for other's pets like my own. I understand the love an owner has for their dogs, and I care for them as much as I would expect someone to care for my dogs. I know the stress of finding a reliable sitter while you may be out of town or working long hours, so I provide updates and photos when I get there and leave so there are no questions on your end.
“Becky is phenomenal! My boys can be overly cautious but they loved her from the second they met her. She keeps in contact with me and sends picture updates. We will be rebooking with her in the future!!!”
About: Current dog owner to a 5 year old Siberian Husky. During my college years I also co-owned two dogs and grew up with a house full of dogs & cats. Ability to walk, run, play or hang out with your pet while you’re tied up with busy tasks! Have walked and exercised with dogs over 100 pounds (Great Dane, German Shepherd, Pitbull, Husky) Serving clients in Riverview/Gibsonton, FL AVAILABLE FOR TAMPA/BRANDON requests: additional up charge will be added on for gas & tolls (more than 2 miles away) I work a flexible schedule that is my own business, so I only need a day or two notice, but once I’m familiar with a particular need or schedule, I can adjust very easily! During any walks, the pet will be leashed. Frequent grooming, and care such as fresh water/food is all involved during visits. Able to provide any extra requests and would encourage a meet and greet! Feel free to send a message
About: Hi, I’m Anna! I’m a local teacher with over 20 years of experience caring for animals—including my own three beloved cats—as well as pets belonging to friends, family, and local clients. My husband and I are both educators here in the Riverview area, and we bring the same level of patience, responsibility, and care to animals that we do to our classrooms. What sets me apart? I’ve spent a lifetime around animals and know how to read their body language, honor their routines, and create a calm, loving environment. Whether I’m stopping in for a quick visit, going on a walk, or pet sitting while you’re away, your pet will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to care for your furry family member. Let’s connect! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Walking a dog or checking in on a pet not only helps me stay healthy and moving—it also gives me the chance to help pet parents feel at ease knowing their animals are cared for. It’s a win-win for me and the pets I look after, and it brings a lot of joy and balance to my week. I give my own cats the absolute best care—honestly, they live better than I do sometimes! I bring that same level of attention, love, and respect to every client’s pet. I always follow any specific instructions or routines provided and take the time to learn each pet’s needs and personality. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, medication, or just providing comfort and companionship, I treat every pet like part of the family. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs or quirks—because I know just how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your fur baby.
About: Starting at age 13, I helped my mother care for her clients animals. I also helped out in a doggy grooming salon for roughly a year with tasks like bathing, cleaning, and keeping the friends entertained! I love dogs & cats with a passion and will treat your best friend with so much love & attention. I am currently a receptionist at a spa. I work Monday and Wednesday 10-8pm, Saturday 11-9pm and some Sundays 11-6pm. I am absolutely willing to come for walks or drop-ins anytime before or after on those days and any time on my days off. If you live close enough to my job, I would be able to pop in during my breaks. I am also able to do overnights for you if you need. Constant attention and care. If your dog is energetic, I would keep him/her stimulated, fed, and loved according to your preferences. Same thing goes for cats. In my own home growing up, I had multiple different dogs all with their own personalities and energy levels. I also have 2 cats and a snake! I make sure their basic needs are met, then give them their attention according to how open they are to receiving it.
“Michelle communicated well and kept us updated every day when she came to check on our pups. We received photos everyday of our babies while we were gone. My only issue was I wish she would have spent more time with our babies or came over more often if she wasn’t able to stay longer with our dogs. Aside from that, Michelle was good, kept the line of communication open and followed our instructions well.”
About: I have grown up with dogs since before I was born and have a cat of my own as well. I started dog sitting at the age of 15 and soon moved onto cat sitting as well because I LOVED it!! I had two chihuahuas growing up (who sadly have already passed away) and have raised two large dogs and a cat now since they were all babies. I have experience with dogs and cats from the ages of 3 months to 17 years old and will always make sure to treat every animal with love, care, and kindness! I am a massage therapist so I will be working on my full days off to make sure to have a full day open to ample potty breaks and attention! I will follow the schedule that you have for feeding, walks, and/or medicine that you need for your furry friend. All you have to do is let me know!

Anna D.
“First of all, Anna is so wonderful. She is caring, sweet, a great friend... and loves animals! It is obvious that she loves and takes the absolute best care for her own pets, but really she adores any animal that crosses her path. I have two cats, and on numerous occasions, my husband and I have entrusted our cats with her for several days at a time while out of town, knowing that they will be loved just as if they were with us. Anna went out of her way to trim one of my cats nails, with permission of course, and had no trouble at all - this is something I have not yet mastered with my cat! She even asks about them frequently and always gives them lots of attention when over at the house. Anna is the best person anyone could have to watch your pet. She is loving, responsible and will watch them as if they are her own.”
Amaya F.
“Amaya I don’t even know where to start. For the longest time I had trouble finding someone who was committed and caring to my animals as I am with them and Amaya did just that, she is so caring and patient with my dogs and super reliable. Finding somebody who is so gentle to my fur babies is number one priority for me and amaya exceeds all these beyond compare I would definitely recommend Amaya to dog owners out there Who want a loving, gentle, caring, compassionate, patient and all around great attitude towards your fur babies.”
