About: I have hands-on experience fostering puppies, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to care for dogs with very different personalities and needs. From potty training accidents to teething chaos, I’ve seen it all—and I genuinely love every moment of it. I’m confident handling high-energy pups, but I’m just as comfortable giving gentle care and attention to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a softer touch. What sets me apart is how deeply I care. I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. Whether it’s keeping up with feeding routines, administering medication, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away, I treat every pet like family. As a college student, my summer schedule is extremely flexible—I'm taking asynchronous online classes, which means I can plan my day entirely around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I love having furry companions to break up my study sessions. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle breaks, I have the time and freedom to give your pet my full attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort come first. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of time for play and rest. I pay close attention to routines—feeding, walks, medications, and anything specific to your pet’s needs—because consistency helps them feel secure. In a client’s home, I respect your space as if it were my own and follow all instructions carefully. I’m big on communication, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.
“You can tell Summer really cares about animals and she had so much patience with my senior dog! She did a great job with updates and checking in with any questions!”
About: I’m able to take care of any type of dog and have watched dogs of all ages. I also am able to get dogs to listen to me well with commands. I’m currently a full-time student but I would love to watch your pets on the weekends or on weeknights. I often have free time that can be spent hanging with pups! I have a fenced in area and hardwood floors in my apartment. I also am able to travel to different areas in Tampa to walk or check in on your pups.
“I have never used Rover before and Holly was the best! She gave me a detailed list of what all he did and what he was doing and even sent me pictures of Maui the whole time. The best service I have ever experienced with my dog and a sitter. I will for sure be reaching out to Holly again for service.”
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and 5 years of experience with cats, I’ve honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet care. I work a full-time job with the flexibility to work from home when I want. But during the weekends, I am free all day typically. I will follow any instructions provided from you. I’ve had the experience before when a sitter does not communicate with the owner, so I will make sure I communicate with you.

“I've known JT for a while now, and I can confidently say he'd make a great pet sitter. Last summer I watched JT take care of our friend's dog for a whole week, and he did a great job. He was extremely responsible and continuously checked in on the dog. He made sure the dog was always fed and got exercise and time outside. JT would leave plans early and work events around his priority of taking care of the dog. Jt is a very responsible and caring person, and any pet would be lucky to have him!”
