Pet care experience

Here fur you and your critters!

Growing up in a household of animal lovers, I’ve been surrounded by creatures, big and small, all my life. Whether it be my own pets or the fur-friends I have made along the way, I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and (a few) exotic animals. Please contact for availability! IMPORTANT: your pet will ALWAYS receive the exact amount of time scheduled, if not more (e.g., a 30 minute walk = a 30 minute walk). However, Tampa traffic can be unpredictable. I ask that you allow me a maximum of 15 minutes flexibility, meaning I may arrive between 1 and 15 minutes earlier or 1 and 15 minutes later than the time originally scheduled. Whether it be feeding, cleaning, or giving a little bit of love to your pet, I’ve got you covered! I will care for your fur-baby in your home and take them on a stroll if need be. If you’re out of town, I will take in the mail and care for any green-guys (plants) you have.

Rylie looked after our two dogs over the 4th of July weekend. Between the fireworks and the constant thunderstorms they were two very anxious dogs, but Rylie took great care of them. We really appreciate how well she takes care of them - we never have to worry anytime we go away ❤️

This was our second time having Rylie look after our two greyhounds and once again she did a great job. The dogs clearly love her and she takes exceptional care of them. We also came home to a clean home and she had even washed the bed sheets and towels and put the new sheets on the bed ready for us to collapse into as soon as we got home! We very much appreciate the great care Rylie takes of our dogs and home and look forward to booking her again in the future!

Rylie is fantastic and very thorough with her check-ins, and our pup loved her. Would definitely recommend and plan to use her again.

Riley is absolutely wonderful! Our 9 year old golden-doodle and 20 year old Maine Coon cat adore Riley! She’s reliable, communicative, and very well educated when it comes to animals. My husband and I fully trust her and she’s our go to sitter when we need one :)

I am a full-time college student with a light load these next few semesters; my schedule can be super flexible to meet you and your pets’ needs!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my upmost priority. Having worked as a professional dog trainer and in animal rescue, you can rest assured that I will go the extra mile to keep your pet out of harm’s way. When walking your dog, I remain attentive on them and our surroundings. Your pet will always be leashed (unless in safe areas) and will be steered away from any potential hazards. If your dog tends to be reactive or has reactive tendencies, fear not! I’ve worked with a lot of high-anxiety pets and am equipped with the knowledge to best help them through each stressful situation. When pet-sitting, I always make sure the doors are locked, mailed brought inside, and the area is cleaned up.
