Top rated Oakford Park house sitters
“We had an amazing experience with Jen watching our energetic Vizsla puppy over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he got plenty of exercise and care. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pup, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Nusa was incredible with Lulu while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time leaving her (only 3 months old) and we were completely put at ease. She sent photos and updates of all of their activities and was super creative on entertaining her when she wasn’t allowed to socialize with dogs / foreign environments due to only having 2 of 3 of her shots. Would wholeheartedly recommend Nusa!”
“Zach was everything we could have wanted in a dog sitter and more! Zach watched our very active husky Sven the night of my husband and I's wedding and even picked him up from our wedding venue since Sven was a part of our ceremony. He gave us text and photo updates of our little fur baby throughout his stay and made what could have been a stressful aspect of our day, completely stress-free. I recommend him for any and all of your pet care needs!”
“Sophia took amazing care of my fur babe and kept me up to date throughout the stay. 10/10 will use Sophia’s services again.”
“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”
“Sam is amazing! We will continue to choose her again and again. Our two big dogs love her and I feel at ease knowing she’s taking such great care of them while we’re away.”
“When I came home this morning, my sweet Fiona was so relaxed and happy. Micheal did an excellent job connecting and caring for her. I receive texts and pictures updating me on their activities. Fiona really enjoyed the surprise visit from Maple. Looking forward to having Micheal and Maple over again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I cared for my own dog at home when my parents were at work. I took him out, played with him, and fed him. I’ve taken care of a few other dogs in Tampa belonging to my friends. I have a passion for dogs, and I always give them as much love and care as I can! I go to the University of Tampa. I have class Monday/Wednesday from 11:30-1 and then 2:30-6. On Tuesday/Thursday I have class only 10-12pm. Friday I have classes 11:30-1 and 2:30-3:40. I also live about 5 minutes from campus. My professors are very flexible as well. Please let me know what your needs are and I will make sure they’re met!! I live in Post Hyde Park where we have 2 fenced in dog parks. The dogs love to run around and play with toys in there to get some energy out! I am happy to keep your dog in a crate if needed, but I am beyond happy to let dogs on my furniture/bed. I make sure to keep water and food out for them and pet them as much as they need!!
“Grace was amazing! She was communicative and took great care of our home while we were away. Our fur babies were extremely happy in every update she gave! I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Abigail did an amazing job with Jude and left the apartment better than when she walked in. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, I grew up on a farm also taking care of horses as well! I love to be outside and taking long walks. I am currently getting my Masters at USF so this will help me continue school and get to have a bunch of fur friends around town!! I care for my pets by proving them with so much love and attention plus also buying anything at the pet store that I think she could like lol.
About: With years of experience working with dogs of all ages and temperaments, I provide thoughtful, reliable care. Whether it’s administering medications or offering extra comfort to a shy dog, I make it a priority to create a caring environment where every pup feels at ease and truly valued. I currently have a part-time job and am preparing to go back to college, but I’m still extremely flexible and will always do my best to work something out with you! Currently, due to my housing situation, I’m only able to offer services at the client’s home, as pets are not permitted where I live. I’m happy to bring my experience and care to your home, ensuring your pet gets the attention they deserve!
“This is my first time using Rover, and Rachel stepped in on a very short notice. She did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while I was traveling. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, and she would send me regular updates and pictures while I was gone. I will definitely use her again.”
“Ben has looked after our dog several times now and he’s been great. Totally trust him to take care of our furbaby and gives me peace of mind.”
About: IG: @HaileyCardenales All my life i’ve just loved animals. They bring so much joy and happiness into someone’s day. I believe that I can take great care of your precious pup whenever your in need. My family and I currently have 2 french bulldogs myself, one full of energy and my other is very relaxed and down to earth. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to take care of them while you are away on vacation or just out of town and enjoying yourself. Don’t worry tho, You came to the right person!! I am currently a senior here at The University of Tampa. My classes are spread out throughout the week making me available to step out a couple times a day for a quick dog walk or drop in. Some days start later than others in where I am able to accommodate and be a lot more flexible if you schedule with me in advance. I currently have a 2 French bull dogs who are two are just 2 different characters! One is less maintenance, living to sleep and hang around all day while the other is super rambunctious. He loves belly rubs, frequently gets bursts of energy w/ the zoomies , loves treats and lots of attention so my family and always do our best to keep him active and in shape; Walks, Carrides, Jazz Music, Tv and Activities with toys tend to tire him right out. With a puppy, I know it can be a struggle but with the right methods, everything will slowly fall in to place. We of course always make sure he is well fed and constantly taken out.
“Eunice was so great! She was so nice, timely, and did everything we asked. She took great care of Roscoe and he seemed like a happy little man when we got home. I would hire her again! 😁”
“We can't say enough good things about Patricia! We have booked her several times now and our 3 dogs absolutely lover her. She stayed at our house and did a fantastic job caring for all the dogs especially the one with special instructions. We were pleased to see that our dog's hotspot had improved while gone reaffirming that Patricia took great care of the dogs. We received lots of photo updates while gone and the dogs appeared to be having as great of a vacation as we were. Thank you Patricia!”
“Nancy did a wonderful job caring for my dog, Mila! She communicated frequently and sent pictures to keep me updated. I would definitely request Nancy again to watch Mila 😊”
