“The reason why I give Linda a 5 star rating is because of these five main things: 1. The initial introduction and meeting with me and my dog at her home was extremely pleasant. Also, drop off and pick up was smooth. 2. Her home and area she lives in is very clean, quiet, and dog friendly. 3. Linda clearly has tons of pet care experience and loves pets. For example, she slept with our dog all night. 4. Our dog is older and needs special food and medicine, and Linda easily handled that. 5. Linda would send pictures often so we could see what our dog is doing. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Linda and will continue to book with her.”



“Christina and her husband are fantastic. She sent pictures throughout the vacation, and Hazel got along fantastically with her at-home pups. Hazel was well fed, and slept like a baby once she got home. We will definitely be using her again for a dog vacay!”


“Super nice and very friendly. I would recommend her. Be aware you have to be able to carry your pet up a ladder before booking, but my husband was with me so it was not a problem. I wouldn’t have been able to do it myself. I am sure the host would have helped if needed.”


“My pups had a longer stay this round and they came home safe and happy! Can’t recommend Stephen enough. He does a great job making us feel comfortable leaving our them with him. Hence we tip him well when we pick up the pooches!”


“We’ve used Jen a few times now and will continue to do so! She’s so sweet and super accommodating when it comes to drop off and pick up times. I get pictures and videos everyday while I’m away of my baby and she always looks happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”


“Ashleigh is a sweetheart and am so appreciative of her services. My pups have a great time going there and I already am planning to book my next stay with Ashleigh sometime soon.”


“Debbie is wonderful.Peyton loved the attention she received and I felt very grateful to have someone so kind to watch over my girl. She sent me photos daily keeping me updated.”


“Jessica and Colin watched our pup, Hazel, recently and did a great job! Hazel had a great time at their home with their adorable family. Jessica was quick to respond every time I texted , and was very flexible. We will definitely be using Jessica and Colin again if they are available. They are trustworthy, responsible and reliable . Hazel can’t wait to go back! 🐾”


“Norma is fantastic! She is an excellent communicator, and sent daily updates and photos. And in every picture my dog was clearly having a blast. I’m definitely going to have my dog stay with her in the future.”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Jessica and her husband was incredibly attentive, responsible and kind. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our puppy was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”


“What a find. Kate is wonderful loving very capable dog person. I was very anxious to leave my 13-year-old Sebrina with just anybody. We had a meet and greet that almost lasted 2 hours. We hit it off and more importantly Sebrina did too. Sebrina was spoiled she got to sleep in a people's bed. My husband was picking up Sebrina and Kate wanted to see a picture of him, so she wouldn't give her to just anybody. That impressed me.”


“Leslie, Willa & company did an absolutely fantastic job caring for our Benny. She sent us regular photos and updates and he came home healthy, happy and relaxed. She has a relaxed yet attentive manner which fits perfectly with our boy’s personality. Her girl Willa welcomed Benny and both set their boundaries maturely, quickly and fairly. A+ for Willa too! Always a treasure to find someone who takes such great care of our little man. We’ll definitely rebook with Leslie in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Priscilla is absolutely amazing as a sitter and if I could give her a thousand stars I would!! My dog loves her so much and she has such a safe and happy environment for your animals! Highly recommend!”



“Eve had a good time with Georgina for boarding for a week. I was very satisfied with Georgina's service. I received pictures daily. Eve seems to be very happy and I would book with Georgina again. Precious is a sweet dog and got along with Eve very well.”


“She was amazing with my sweet Willow! She sent me pictures and I could tell my girl was actually happy and enjoying who she was with which is such a relief as a dog mom! We will definitely book with her again’”


About: With years of hands-on experience, I’m a dedicated and passionate pet sitter who offers reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages. From energetic puppies as young as 6 weeks to senior pets needing extra TLC, I specialize in tailoring care to meet each animal’s unique needs. For the past 2 years, I’ve been an outstanding sitter on Rover, as well as private clients, and other platforms, I’ve consistently received glowing reviews and responses from happy clients. In addition to my professional history, I have a lifelong background in animal rescue, starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood. This experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, including working with timid, reactive, and aggressive dogs to help them feel safe, seen, and supported. I’m skilled in: • Pet sitting (in-my-home and drop-in) • Leash walking & exercise routines • Basic obedience and behavioral training • Handling aggressive, anxious, shy, or high-energy pets • Bathing and basic grooming • Administering medication or following special care routines What You Can Expect with My In-Home Care: Your pet’s comfort and joy are my top priorities. Though my home is small, it’s a warm, safe, and enriching environment filled with activities and affection. Daily routines typically include: • Morning and evening walks • Outdoor sunshine and dog park trips 1–2 times per week • Doggie pool play & enrichment activities • Brain stimulation games • Indoor playtime and plenty of cuddles To ensure safety and comfort, I offer: • Outdoor run leads for secure off-leash time • Two gated areas and two crates for smooth transitions or decompression, if needed • A peaceful, structured environment that supports both play and rest If you’re not looking for in-home care, I also offer a variety of flexible services, including: • Drop-in visits • Daytime pet sitting • Dog walking • Bathing and light grooming • Basic training sessions • Special request accommodations I care for every animal as if they were my own, and I would be honored to welcome your fur baby into my care. Let’s connect and discuss how I can give your pet the love, safety, and attention they deserve while you’re away! I am available 24/7. I am always flexible and willing to work with pet owners to help cater to whatever needs there may be. I’m currently working part-time as a private caregiver and create my own schedule. I’m completing an internship as a dog trainer with Ridgeside K9 - Tampa which also allows me to be home more and create a very flexible schedule to tend to my animals when they need me. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I ensure my space is pet-proofed—free of hazards, with secure fencing (if applicable), and a consistent routine that helps pets feel at ease. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely to maintain continuity for their pet. I build trust through clear communication, regular updates with photos/videos, and by being dependable and gentle in all interactions. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or simply offering comfort, I provide attentive, loving care so your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away.
