About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, fish and turtles. I love taking dogs on walks and to the dog park if that’s something your pet would enjoy. My schedule is flexible and I can make taking care of your pet in your home close to his or her regular schedule work for all of us. I can meet with you at your home to meet your pet(s) and discuss the care instructions at your convenience. I will ensure that you feel comfortable in choosing me.
“Taylor and Bruno are fantastic, we really appreciate their house sitting-dog watching and taking care of our chickens. Wonderful communication and pictures. Thank you Taylor and Bruno!!”

“10/10 for another stay with Stephanie! I got so many updates and pictures of my sweet babies while away! She went above and beyond! Always made sure they had fresh food and water and ample love!! Even did laundry before she left! Cannot recommend Stephanie enough! If you are looking for someone to not only care for your animals but also your home - book with Stephanie!”

“Bethany did an amazing job watching my 2 fur babies. She sent pictures each day, was on time and compliant with everything I asked. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future and recommend her services to pet owners looking for reliable, trusted care.”

“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”

“Brandi is very kind and polite. She sent me tons of photos and updates, even for a short trip, which made me fell much more comfortable with her during our first booking. I will definitely book her again!”

“Laryssa is amazing! She was incredible with the dogs and kept a solid line of communication with us while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos to help us feel at ease. I would highly recommend using her. She’s kind, caring, clean and great with our dogs! Thank you much Laryssa and we look forward to working with you in the future!”

“Ana was great! She accommodated my dog’s special needs and my last minute trip. I highly recommend her and plan to go to her again when traveling without him is necessary.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, over 50 years of walking, sitting, and spoiling pups of all shapes and sizes. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies because I treat every dog like my own. Your dog will be in warm, experienced hands and I can’t wait to meet them and hang out with them! Tell your dog I say hi! I’m currently available seven days a week with a fully flexible schedule. Whether you need an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or last minute coverage, I can make it work. Your dog’s routine is my priority! I come to your home so your dog stays comfortable in their own familiar environment. I respect your space, follow your routines, and keep you updated throughout every visit. Sleepovers are no problem; your pup will barely even know you’re gone!
About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Dunedin and occasionally visit SWFL. I’ve been caring for ALL types of animals since I was a kid, and it’s something I truly love! I have 2 cats of my own, regularly dogsit German Shepherds for a close friend, volunteer with the Humane Society of Pinellas, and support the Suncoast Animal League. Having worked with pets of all ages, from bottle babies to seniors with special needs, my best approach is to calmly match energy. Patience is more than key, and I will always respect each animal’s unique personality as well as nonverbal boundaries. Pet care is my full-time job! Working with animals and supporting my community are truly my passions. I’m very savvy with time management and love keeping my schedule steady, reliable, and flexible for my clients. Unless we discuss otherwise, I typically spend 30–40 minutes at each drop-in to give your pets proper attention and care without ever rushing. Weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests are always welcome! Even if my calendar shows I’m booked, still feel free to reach out. Further distances and specific circumstances may incur additional fees, which will always be disclosed before confirming. Caring for pets in their own home helps them feel safe and secure in a familiar space. With my own animals at home, this setup also works best for me! I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual routines and paying close attention to their comfort, body language, and any changes in behavior. A calm, familiar environment is essential for building an organic, trusting relationship between new human and pet.
“Absolutely amazing! Stephanni did a wonderful job for us taking care of Charlie. She went above and beyond. Super communicative and lots of pictures and videos. Charlie was spoiled! Thanks again so so much!”

About: I grew up on a farm. We had lots of cats and dogs and other animals. I’ve always had a strong love for cats and dogs. I currently have one tuxedo cat and she loves to play with other kitty cats. I’ve cared for many sick animals given shots and medication multiple times a day when needed and can be in contact with pet owners throughout the day when needed. I am a professional stock photographer and work out of my home so I have lots of time to dedicate to loving your pet. I work from my Home Office studio as a professional stock photographer, and Marketing Consultant . I can be available for pet care at all days and all times. I have a fenced in backyard if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I do have a fenced in backyard if that is a requirement
Island Estate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Debra is a 5+ sitter! My dogs enjoyed their time with her. Debra took great care of them and I am so grateful for her attention towards them! Debra is very professional, very knowledgeable about caring for dogs, attentive to details as to how to make the doggies happy and feel safe, and extremely considerate as a house guest. I would highly recommend Debra! Luna and Kaia send you a big doggie hug!
Madison went above and beyond during her stay at my house. Communication was great, she sent so many pictures and videos. I know my dog Nash had a great week with her and got so many cuddles. She left my house better than she found it. I highly recommend her for any service!

I can't thank Samantha enough. She did an excellent job with my akita mix with anxiety. Samantha stayed a few nights and came up with clever solutions to ease Nakita's stress. I love how down to earth she is. Samantha was observant, dependable, communicable, loving and kind. Good vibes! Awesome experience! Highly recommend 🌟
