About: With a decade of experience in house sitting and personal pet care, I provide trustworthy and attentive services tailored to your pet’s needs. My background includes caring for various breeds, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve while you are away. I specialize in creating a comfortable environment for your pets, whether it involves daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. My commitment is to ensure your furry friends feel safe and happy in their own home. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I prioritize my schedule to ensure that I dedicate ample time for walks, play, and training sessions. Each day begins with early morning walks, allowing pets to enjoy fresh air and exercise. Throughout the day, I maintain a flexible schedule that accommodates feeding times, medication administration, and regular check-ins for any special needs. My evenings are reserved for quality bonding time, ensuring each pet feels loved and secure before bedtime. This structured yet adaptable approach allows me to provide consistent care while also being responsive to the unique needs of each pet. In my home and my clients’ homes, safety is paramount. I conduct thorough assessments of the environment to identify potential hazards and ensure a secure space for pets. I use baby gates to restrict access to unsafe areas and keep harmful substances out of reach. During pet care visits, I maintain a clean environment by regularly sanitizing areas where pets spend time. I provide updates via text or photos during visits to reassure them about their pet’s well-being. Additionally, I create a calm atmosphere by using familiar scents and toys from home, helping pets feel comfortable in new surroundings. My goal is always to foster a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.

About: I've been a dog-lover ever since I could walk and love meeting new furry friends! My family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets knowing that I'll ensure their pup is comfortable and happy - fresh water every couple of hours, you got it; feed them chicken by hand, you got it; play hide and seek with them to keep them active, you got it. Whatever little quirks or habits you've developed with your pup, I'll replicate it to keep them happy. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pup. Worried about your pup staying active? I'm active and love exploring new parks or neighborhoods. I have my own pups - a 15 yr old rat terrier chihuahua mix and a 5 yr old chihuahua mix - who love going on adventures of their own so I know the good spots! Need anything extra done for you while away? Let me know and I can incorporate it in to keep the home running smoothly until your return.

“Olga took great care of our cats. She’s very reliable and responsive, which made our time away from home free of headaches. We absolutely loved the pictures we received every day, which was one of our trip's highlights.”


About: I grew up with a dog and have been dog sitting since I was 15 years old. I rescued my beagle when she was a puppy, my last semester in college, and I've been raising her ever since. Any chance I get, I am petting other dogs and bringing my dog to the beach to hang out and/or socialize. You can always count on me to treat your dog as if they were my own. I work from home and live a very low key lifestyle. I don't do much on the weekends other than go to the beach, but my dog sometimes comes with and I bring plenty of water and shade. I am able to take your dog outside as much as they need as well as provide walks throughout the day. I currently live in a house which is extremely beneficial since I have a small front yard with a patio. My dog loves to lay outside during the day sometimes and going for walks in the mornings/evenings since it’s been so hot during the day. Dogs are allowed on all my furniture and will get treated as my own. :)

“I had a wonderful experience booking with Courtney! She is very pleasant, kind and she provided my 15 year old kitty with all of the attention she needed. She even helped bring in my packages sitting outside. Courtney was prompt to reply, followed all directions, was comfortable with insulin injections & was very timely. She also provided detailed notes with each visit. I am absolutely planning to book with her again for my cat in the future.”

In addition to my professional history, I have a lifelong background in animal rescue, starting in childhood and continuing into adulthood.

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.

About: I love both cats & dogs. Walks, extended stays, house sitting, drop ins, and more Serving the Clearwater Bay neighborhood and nearby areas. Daily photo updates are my thing!

I live around a dog park and can walk around the lake with your furry friend if needed. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Island Estate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney was able to approach my scaredy-cat with kindness and amazing skill. Courtney got him to allow her access near his esteemed highness🤣 and administer two injections per day. To be able to do that with a frightened cat requires someone who builds a connection with the animal clients. Very special ability.
