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.

About: I’ve always said pets are like kids… lots of responsibility. I work from home and take walks often and even am willing to work with them ( if currently training) and play! Currently work-from-home, meetings mainly on Mondays and Thursdays. Job is very flexible. And definitely don’t mind the company, I love on my own so they will have all of my attention! I have an approximately 6ft fenced in yard so there would be plenty of privacy, the fence is new. Please let me know if they require anything specific

“Katie has been a go-to dog walker and dog sitter as well as caretaker for our three cats. Odin is a loving dog with special needs (he has always been mostly blind) and can sometimes take a while to warm up to someone. With Katie this did not take long and he listens to her when its time to get going. Our cats are very selective and we were shocked how quickly the first time she showed up our cats warmed up to her. Overall great experience with her and highly recommend her to anywho who's not traveling at the same time we are :)”


“London is a breath of fresh air. She is very kind, communicative and direct, and anticipates and solves problems easily. Our dog loved her instantly. She showed up on time every day and went above and beyond. We will be calling her again!”


“Sweet and kind to my baby! Super grateful for her!”


About: I've been around all ages of dogs. I have had puppies up to older dogs that I've taken care of. I'm ready for anything :) It fits in perfectly. I'm able to help and assist you with all needs. If you have questions please let me know so I can answer them. I can care for dogs. I have a rescue pup named Brutus. I have areas around my community that I can walk dogs if they are in my home.

“Anna has been walking my dog for a few weeks and has done an amazing job! She's consistent and reliable as well as a great communicator”


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 ☺️

“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 really love and care for animals. I specialize in making pets feel comfortable and happy, whether they’re energetic puppies or older dogs needing extra care. My dedication and passion for animals ensure they are treated like family! I have a flexible schedule, working part-time, which allows me to dedicate quality time to care for your pets. I’m available for walks, and playtime on weekdays anytime between 7am to 8pm. Your pup will never feel rushed or uncomfortable with me. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. In your home, I ensure their routine is followed closely, keeping them relaxed and secure. Whether it’s maintaining their favorite play spots or creating a cozy, stress-free atmosphere, I make sure your furry friend feels right at home.

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.

“As a dog lover, I always count Mimi as if she’s my daughter. Aljenaye was the most communicative and trusted dog walker/care person I’ve met. Daily pictures with some comments made me very relieved my worrisome while I was away. I could tell Mimi was so enjoying walking with her that made me happy! Thank you for your help!!”


About: I've grown up in a family that prioritized dogs, rescuing them from streets and shelters throughout my childhood. I love dogs with my whole heart and have always been naturally drawn to them. Getting coffee and visiting dog parks is one of my favorite ways to spend free time and decompress. Currently, I'm a college student pursuing my Bachelor's in Health Science with aspirations to become a traveling nurse. I live with my parents in a spacious home with a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for dogs to run and play. Our two extremely friendly and playful resident dogs are well-socialized and love having canine visitors. I maintain an active lifestyle that includes running and walking on trails and throughout my neighborhood, which means plenty of exercise opportunities for your furry friend. With my lifelong experience and genuine passion for dog care, you can trust your dog's comfort and well-being in my hands. Pet care is fully integrated into my daily schedule. I'm an active person who loves running and biking, and my two dogs frequently join me on these outings or accompany me during cool-down jogs and walks. This exercise routine typically takes place mornings and evenings during the cooler hours, creating a consistent schedule your pet can enjoy. Since I take most of my classes online, I'm home throughout the day with my dogs, making them a huge part of my daily routine. This means any pets in my care receive consistent attention and supervision rather than being left alone for extended periods. As a special treat, I take weekly trips to the beach which my dogs absolutely love and are very accustomed to. While I would only include your dog in these outings with your explicit prior approval, it's a wonderful enrichment opportunity many dogs enjoy. My lifestyle is already structured around providing excellent care for my own dogs, making it natural to extend that same level of attention and activity to your pet. I understand how scary it can be for pets to be away from their owners, which is why I've created a warm, welcoming environment in my home. My two dogs are exceptionally friendly while still respecting boundaries, making them perfect companions for visiting canines without overwhelming them. My pet care routine is comprehensive and loving. From the moment I wake up, I shower my dogs with attention and affection—a warmth I extend equally to any pets staying with me. Your dog will receive: Plenty of individualized attention and loving pets Engaging toys to keep them mentally stimulated Access to our large, secure backyard for play and exploration At least two structured walks daily to maintain their exercise routine Consistent care from someone who treats them as part of the family I believe pets are family members deserving of love and quality care. My approach is to learn your pet's unique preferences and routines, then provide that familiar structure while adding extra affection and enrichment. I would love the opportunity to spoil your dog with the same level of care and attention I give my own beloved 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.
