“Will recommend her hands down. Great with my dog, and he is not a tiny one. Very affectioned and patient with him. Very flexible with schedule. I am glad she takes care of my pup.”
About: I have worked in a class 1 setting with a variety of species as a Zoological specialist. I have experience providing habitat/enclosure care, enrichment, medications and a variety of other treatments for many species. I am available most days 7 am - 9 pm, including weekends based on my schedule. For times outside my normal availability please contact me to see if a compromise can be found. I provide my pets with a healthy diet, enrichment and daily experiences to ensure they are living healthy active and fullfilling lives. I believe it is important to give animals a schedule and routine to help with their daily health.
“Ivette did an amazing job walking cumbia, Cumbia tends to be very shy and is sometimes frightened by unfamiliar elements, so it was very valuable that Ivette worked on her confidence and had a lot of patience with her.”
“Meredith did a great job. We're relieved to have an engaged and reliable person taking care of our dogs. We are planning to continue using her, for sure! 5 stars all the way around.”
About: We love animals. I started house sitting and caring for the neighbor's cats at a young age. Having a dog of our own that required genuine love and care when we were away inspired us to offer similar services as a way to pay it forward. I do this for the love and joy it brings us and for the peace it gives families needing someone to care for their furry family. If I left it up to my household we'd have a ton of pets but for now we just have our sheepadoodle John and pet sit to fill the house with furry loves. I personally have plenty of weekday and weekend time hosting in our home due to the flexibility of working from home. Plus having a live-in grandma, retired dog rescuer in our home to provide 24/7 attention and care is a huge plus! We have all that's needed for pets at our home. For drop-in, walks and staying in your home overnight my availability is limited but flexible and overnight stays I'll be accompanied by my husband. I use baby gates and crates when needed. For pups not able to go potty in the grass or outdoors due to caution of not being fully vaccinated or for medical reasons, I train to go on the enclosed lanai outside on fake grass or kitty litter I specially prepare. I have an open space floor plan where I can keep an eye at all times and our backyard is fenced! We are a nut free family and support any dietary restrictions, allergies and no-no's you want us to follow.
“A great experience it has been to work with Carlo !!was great at communicating the walks with Deisel and gave a great report card of his events and even pictures!! Always on time .. recommend to all who looking for there fur babies services !!”
“Theresa allowed us to feel very comfortable and confident in her ability to step in and care for our “ boys” while we were at the hospital with my daughter in labor. Very thankful for Theresa and will hire her again without hesitation!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and I’m super comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I’ve watched playful puppies, easygoing adults, and sweet senior pets who just need a little extra care. I can stick to feeding routines, give potty breaks as often as needed, go on walks, play, and of course give them plenty of love and attention. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own while you’re away! ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I have open availability, so I’m able to make caring for pets a priority throughout my day. I enjoy structuring my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well‑cared for every single day. I like to care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with a lot of love, patience, and attention. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your routine as closely as possible, like feeding times, walks, and any little habits your pet is used to. I keep their space clean, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Bethany — a lifelong animal lover with a calm, nurturing personality and a deep respect for your pet’s unique needs. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs lots of playtime, or prefers quiet snuggles on the couch, I tailor every visit to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I live with my own little zoo: two sweet dogs named Philly and Peanut, and two quirky cats named Steve and Stew. Living with multiple animals means I’m no stranger to different personalities, energy levels, and needs — I know how to keep the peace, set routines, and make sure every pet feels cared for and secure. I treat every animal in my care like they’re my own — with patience, reliability, and lots of love. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, temperaments, and sizes, and I’m comfortable handling medications, special diets, and senior pet needs. Pet care is already built into my daily routine — I start each morning with a walk for my dogs, Philly and Peanut, and throughout the day, I make sure they get plenty of outside time, play, and attention. I feed them twice a day and always include some well-earned treats and snuggles. Because I’m consistently home and already tuned into a pet-centered routine, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care and structure for your pets too. I have a big, fully fenced-in yard that gives dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. It’s perfect for pups who need room to stretch their legs or just enjoy some sunshine. My two dogs, Philly and Peanut, are friendly and well-socialized — they love meeting new friends and are great with other dogs. If your pup stays with me, they’ll have built-in playmates and lots of room to roam!
“Our pup loves Ashton, she is friendly and spent time loving on him while we were away. She is reliable and responsible. I definitely recommend her to care for your pets and will asks her to watch our dog in the future. Tasha S.”
About: I have been around animals of all kinds my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles and more. I have cared for dogs of my own, for relatives, and for neighbors. Your pet is in good hands! My boyfriend and I are new to the Tampa area. Since I am looking for full time employment, I have lots of free time to give to you and your pets. At this time I cannot provide care out of my home. However, I am eager to provide care in whatever environment you have for your pets.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life! Starting with helping neighbors dogs then my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to older dogs that need a bit more care. I make sure they’re safe, well-fed, and given plenty of attention. I’m a student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open. I’m around most of the day, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep things comfortable and familiar. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular walks, playtime, and any special care they need—like medications or specific instructions. I also keep the home clean and respect the space as if it were my own.
“Very pleased with our experience with Aljenaye! We booked him last minute for just a walk and I’m very glad he was willing to jump in and help. I really appreciate how Aljenaye handled our situation given that our dog is not the best with strangers and I was briefly unavailable during the time he was with her. Will definitely be booking with him again!”

I have always been the friend to watch everyone’s fur babies including puppies and kittens as young as 3 weeks old. I have a huge back yard that is fenced in and lots of space with a small family.

About: I’ve had experience with all breeds and ages my love for animals is what gives me the drive to care for them and I love having them around ❤️ it’s very healing to my spirit and it makes me happy to see their different personalities and give them the proper care😊 I have a flexible schedule where I’m either usually home all day, maybe run out for some quick errands. The maximum time I would be ever need to be out which is for work would be 5-7 hours I have a 3 year old chihuahua who is very sweet and playful he stays in his own pen but I will let him roam with the other dogs if I see that they can co-exist with no issues. I live in a good neighborhood, there a long track around a lake right outside the front door to give them good walks and there’s a dog park right up the street I like to take them to ☺️

She’s incredibly responsible, loving, and attentive to their needs. Teddy gets excited every time she walks in the door, and Lola—who’s usually picky about people—actually cuddles up to her! Jayla is trustworthy, patient, and genuinely cares about animals. I couldn’t recommend her more for anyone looking for a dependable and kind pet sitter or dog walker.”

“London is amazing! She responds quickly and takes care to follow pick-up instructions! She's friendly and also takes photos! I'm very happy with her services!”
Bethany D.
“Bethany is the biggest animal lover I have ever met. She is so caring, nurturing, loving and most importantly, responsible when it comes to animals. Food and water are never scarce, and additional comforts like treats and being allowed to snuggle up on the couch or bed with her are a common occurrence. Her love for animals is very apparent when she interacts with them, as she does with her own dog. She has a Chinese Sharp Pei that is the most loved dog in the US. Bethany takes great care to treat animals as if they were her own children, catering to their needs medicinally, food-wise and exercise. She walks her dogs twice a day (at least!). Importantly, Bethany has a qualified veterinary technician in her family that she can easily contact in the case of emergencies. She also lives near the Huron Humane Society and other local vets that she has easy access to. Her Shar Pei, Clay, is a very playful but submissive pup and gets along really well with other dogs. He is not territorial and was great with my two dogs, Binky and Bess. I would highly recommend Bethany to any person.”

“Sophia is one of the most intelligent, caring, and responsible people that I know. She has a pure heart and a natural ability to tend to others. She’s outgoing, caring and time efficient with every task she takes on. She’s been watching my pets for years and always goes above and beyond. There have been times when I was out of town and unavailable to reach immediate relatives to tend to the cats and feed the dogs. But Sophia has always been there when I needed her. She’s efficient and always does a great job. I’d recommend her to anybody!”
Alexis B.
“I can’t recommend Alexis highly enough! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away. Not only did she make sure my pet was well-fed and exercised, but she also gave them lots of love and attention—just like I would. I received daily updates, photos, and even a few videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that Alexis truly cares about animals and treats them like family. I’ll definitely be using her services again.”
