About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”

About: I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal with patience and care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their routines and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also highly responsive and happy to send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I work as a nanny during the day on weekdays, so I’m usually available for pet care after about 5-6pm. On weekends I have much more flexibility and am available for boarding and extended care. I love staying active and spending time outside, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their family is away. For me, it’s a joy to care for pets so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so I can care for them in the way that works best for them!

Kylie watched my dog for a last minute weekend away and was wonderful! She was responsive, reliable, enthusiastic, and took great care of my dog and home. I would highly recommend booking with Kylie and we will certainly be working with her again in the future!

Kailee was so lovely to work with- one of my pups is very shy and she came out for Kailee (instead of hiding) faster than she’s ever come out for any sitter before. I knew my girls were in great hands. She sent pictures regularly to keep me up to date with them, took them for walks and was very sweet to them. I could tell they had been very well cared for while I was away. She also left my house so clean and in perfect condition. Can’t recommend her enough and already booked her for a second house sitting booking! Thank you Kailee

We had a great experience with Olivia our house sitter over Easter weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. It was clear the dogs were happy, well-exercised, and comfortable in her car. I’d highly recommend Olivia

Julia and Eric are absolutely incredible, and we’d give them 10 stars if we could. After a near-death experience at a boarding facility, I haven’t left my dog with anyone other than family for the last 2 years. My family is 4-6 hours away though, and I needed to find someone local I could rely on. Julia and Eric sent routine updates with lots of videos of everything they were up to with my dog, and he was genuinely so happy and upbeat in all of them (and was actually eating his food too!). I couldn’t have felt more at ease while being away. They’ll 100% be our new go-to sitters!

I recently hired April to watch my 2 dogs while going on a 16 day trip. April communicated well and took great care of them while we were away. She bonded so well with my dogs and they seemed very happy and content in all of the pictures and videos she sent me. My home was also left in a clean condition. I will definitely consider her services again in the future and would recommend her to anyone seeking dogsitting services in the area!
