“So happy to have found Dzeni! We had four meet-n-greets with local providers (as we just moved to the area) before making our decision. It was apparent to us that Dzeni was the best fit for our little Max. Their home was perfect for Max as it had a fenced backyard where he could run around and he was allowed on the furniture/bed. Highly recommend.”



“Very happy with Debra and family! Got our baby back happy and normal (not the stressed mess she used to be coming back from boarding facilities). They took her on walks, we got pictures every day and great communication on how she was doing. Would go back to them again for future sitting needs.”


“Jennifer was AMAZING. Very friendly and understanding of my travel plans changing last minute. She sent me pictures of my dog throughout my trip of him having a blast with her dogs and son. She even got him to walk on a leash for the first time; something me and my husband had been trying to do for 2 years. Defintely plan on using her again for our next vacation.”


“We had the pleasure of having Giovanni as our dog sitter for Sunny and Sky, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped off our pups, Giovanni was attentive and professional. He kept us updated throughout the day, sending consistent pictures and videos that showed Sunny and Sky having a great time. It was clear that Giovanni genuinely cared for our dogs, as they seemed relaxed and happy in his company. His communication made our time away much more enjoyable, knowing our furry friends were in good hands. We highly recommend Giovanni to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We'll definitely be reaching out to him for future pet-sitting needs! Thank you, Giovanni!”


“Thank you Carlos and family for taking care of my Charlie. He was happy to see us come back for him but the following few days he looked sad. I believed he really did have a good time at your house and was missing you and your family and your pets. I will use your service again if you will like to have Charlie back :) Thank you Bev”


“Deborah and her husband were great! Too bad i couldnt meet her but she communicated with me the whole way while her husband took care of my baby. Definitely will book again!”

“Cece did such an incredible job watching my corgi!! Constant updates and communication.She was attentive and did a great job with Louie.Would definitely recommend 😃”


“Mei Li and Robert are amazing! The took excellent care of Coco and Coco absolutely loves staying with them. Mei Li and Robert sent photos frequently and kept us posted on how Coco was doing. We knew Coco was in good hands while we were on vacation. Coco will definitely return again!”


“Miriam was fantastic! She was friendly and accommodating. I also really appreciated her transparency in sending photos and sharing regular updates while caring for Bryson. I hope to be able to use her services again when needed!”


“We left our dog with Clary for 3 nights while we were out of town. She had a blast playing with the other dogs. Clary sent us lots of photos to help keep our mind at ease since this was our first booking. We will definitely book with Clary again. Thank you!!!”


“Luis and his family were wonderful! Consistent communication and photos of daily activities which allowed me to enjoy my vacation with family. My husky twins were very well cared for and I absolutely will continue to book future stays with Luis!”

“Lou Ann and Frank took great care of our dog and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout each day. We were glad to find a home that provided individualized attention, as well as a calm and caring environment while we were out on a 10 day trip. Thank you Lou Ann and Frank!”


“Jeana was great with Ziggy! She gave updates everyday while I was gone and made sure to send pictures of my baby. Her family seemed to make Ziggy feel right at home. I have no worries for Ziggy’s next sleepover!”


“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”


“Doris is such a kind, caring, and attentive sitter. She made me feel at ease upon our meet and greet because I knew very quickly that Maya would get the best care possible with her. Doris was so patient with Maya as she takes time to warm up to new people, but it was not long until Maya was playing with her new human and doggie friends! Doris kept me updated on how Maya was doing regularly with pictures and video. I know Maya looks forward to her next visit!”


“We are so thankful we found Anne to take care of our Jiggy. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s well taken care. She treats him like her own, and Jiggy loves to go to see her ! There’s not enough stars or space here to express how happy with Anne,”
