“Kailee was great with our dogs. She followed instructions and took care of our house while we were away. Our dogs loved her. I recommend her for both dog care and house sitting.”


“Blaise was great! She listened to instructions and followed them. My dog was very happy in her care. She kept me updated through her stay. She was very respectful of my home as well. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”


“Miles was amazing! Took amazing care of my 4 month old Shiba Inu while I was away for a few days, alone with 2 of my reptiles. (One being special needs) It was so relieving having someone trustworthy stay at my home to keep an eye on things for me, and take care of my babies.”


“Rachel is a gem! I'm so grateful for all the love and joy she has brought into my furry family's lives. I have a high maintenance herd, 2 of which require medications to be pilled directly, and the other is a total attention whore. Rachel stepped in to my home for 10 days, took care of them (and my way too many plants) - and sent me the most joyous photos along the way. I'm so lucky I found her and I'm ready to hire her again in a heartbeat the next time I travel. She is truly a caring soul that enjoys taking care of others. I'm very lucky I found her!”

“Ocean was fantastic. We highly recommend her and will book her again in the future.”


About: I have had 2 dogs but growing up my grandmother was a doberman trainer and that showed me how to create a safe space for dogs. Me taking care of pets comes naturally to me. The way I treat animals reflects how I care for myself. With overflowing love and care! I ensure that they get the nutrition they need and walks for dogs at least one per 1.5 hours. I make sure that I comply with cats boundaries and alone time and pet them if they are completely comfortable!

“Noel did a great job. He stayed in my home with my two dogs for 5 nights. He was very attentive to the instructions we left for the pups. The house was just as we left it when we returned. Will definitely reach out to him for future bookings.”


About: Hello there, My name is Robyn (aka Rob) and I recently moved to the Saint Pete area 2 months ago. I have been taking care of animals for the last 13 years. I first started off with family and friends, then I was gradually offered services with referrals. People call me the "Dog whisperer of our time" but I just like to refer to myself as "A guy, loving one pupperoni at a time". I am flexible and an easy going guy. I am open to sitting at your home, drop in visits, and walks. Most importantly, I am respectful towards all walks of life. My schedule is open, Friday - Tuesday all day. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Friday mornings, are internship days, usually from 11am to 4pm. I am a graduate student, finishing my master's in clinical social work, therefore my primary income would be Rover. I'm able to clarify anything else. Able to give medications CPR LGBTQ+ Friendly 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 420 Friendly My schedule is open, Friday - Tuesday Wednesdays, Thursdays and Friday mornings, are internship days but I can definitely accommodate as Rover is my primary income while I am in graduate school. Therefore I can dedicate caring and catering to the to the babies. I treat all walks of life with respect. I am indigneous, and was raised on with the land and water, therefore my respect is innate. Again, I grew up with horses, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs and cats. Each and every animal has a personality and a spirit that should be respected. I am a clean and tidy person, therefore you rest assured that your home would be treated with respect and more.

“Faith is a phenomenal cat and house sitter!! They were able to win over our extremely shy cat, Kiki, pretty much immediately. Kiki even asked for belly rubs! Beyond Faith’s gift for connecting with kitties, they were very punctual, inquired about & followed our kitties daily routines and took great care of our house and plants while we were gone for 8 days. It’s a huge relief to know my cats are safe and loved while we are out of town. We look forward to being repeat customers!”



About: I'm a flight attendant for an international airline and my husband and I travel too much to have a pet of our own. May we borrow yours? We're not interested in making a business in dog care. We dog sit purely out of our love for dogs. Growing up, I had Schnauzers. Aaron had Dachshunds. We spent a couple of years fostering for the Humane Society (mostly pitties) and a local bull terrier rescue, but now that we don't have a house and yard, it just isn't possible anymore. When we dog sit overnight, if your dog is used to sleeping in the bed with you overnight, we're happy to also allow it. We will accommodate your dog's normal routine. We firmly believe in consistency with training, so let us know if there is anything you've been working on! As far as special needs... Yes, we have experience with a lot of special needs dogs, but we don't want to set the expectation that we can provide professional-level medical care. We'll need to consider it on a case-by-case basis and we'll be honest about what we can do confidently when it comes to your dog's medical care. When I'm not traveling, I'm home. My husband works an irregular schedule. Your dog will always have me, my husband, or both of us there. I won't book a dog sitting if I'm traveling. Tons of love and sticking to your dog's routine as much as possible. I follow whatever type of feeding schedule you have for them and whatever else. Just let me know!

“Tessla was great. She took wonderful care of our pup for 5 days. She exercised her a bunch and bathed her twice. Our house was spotless when we got home too. Great communication.”



“Marlene is a treasure-my beagle is a nervous guy and she was so wonderful and patient with him. It was such a relief to know a truly kind, loving experienced person with him since I knew he was going to be a wreck when I left for a few days. Beyond that she was, professional, thoughtful, responsive, sent wonderful pictures etc. I would rate her a 1000 stars if I could :)”


“Allison was wonderful. She arrives on time, was super sweet with our 4 yorkies, young and old, played fetch with them, snuggled on the couch and slept in bed with them. We were able to enjoy our 4 night vacation without any worries at all as she checked in with us each the morning and evening with pics/videos, updates and was super nice. Thank you so much Allison we will be sure to have you watch our fur babies again you were amazing!”


About: I’ve been a proud dog dad to my pit-lab mix, Brodie, since 2020, and I grew up with a keeshond who taught me patience and the joy of bonding with animals from a young age. I know that every dog has their own personality, energy level, and quirks—and I love getting to know what makes them tick. Whether it's helping a high-energy pup get their wiggles out or keeping a senior dog calm and comfy, I adjust my care to match your pet's specific needs. I’ve also spent years working with Brodie on leash manners and behavioral reinforcement, so I’m confident with everything from gentle walkers to strong pullers. Clients appreciate that I treat their pets like family, and I’m happy to stick to your routines, training methods, and preferred walking routes. Right now, my schedule is wide open! I’m preparing for law school this August, so I have total flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or in-home sitting throughout the week and weekends. Whether you need a midday walk, evening care, or extended overnight stays, I can make it work. When I’m in your home, I treat your space—and your dog—with respect, consistency, and care. I follow all feeding and medication routines carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure your pup feels safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve taken Brodie to Noah’s Place VCA in St. Pete for the past two years and know their staff well, so if there’s ever a health concern, I’m proactive and connected. I don’t offer boarding services, but I specialize in making your dog feel comfortable in their own environment, whether for a walk or a full stay.


“Michelle was so lovely, my service animal is very protective and particular about her space and Michelle made Basil feel so safe and comfortable, warmed up to her right away. She also made sure to take pictures throughout the night to soothe my anxieties and let me enjoy my night out. Love her🫶”

Logan B.
“I’ve known Logan since 2010, and to say he’s a natural with animals would be an understatement. He’s helped care for my dog on multiple occasions, and I always felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was in his hands. Logan has an incredible gift—animals and kids alike are just drawn to him. His own dog, Brodie, is one of the happiest, most well-behaved dogs I’ve ever met, which says a lot about Logan’s patience, consistency, and love. Beyond that, Logan is simply a kind and compassionate human being. As a former teacher, he brings an unmatched sense of responsibility and empathy to everything he does. He’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about doing right by the people (and pets!) around him. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Logan looking after their fur baby. I can’t recommend him enough.”
