“Doug is such a caring person. He took amazing care of our dog and house for more than a week. Our dog absolutely loved him. Moreover he took care of our plants and fish. He also did a very beautiful sketch of our dog. He is so talented! We are highly recommending him!”

“10/10 for another stay with Stephanie! I got so many updates and pictures of my sweet babies while away! She went above and beyond! Always made sure they had fresh food and water and ample love!! Even did laundry before she left! Cannot recommend Stephanie enough! If you are looking for someone to not only care for your animals but also your home - book with Stephanie!”

“Alyssa was incredibly communicative and loving to our pup, and when we returned, the house was just as we left it. It’s so special to know your baby is being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook.”

“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our dog Summit! She went above and beyond for us while we were out of the country ! I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her and has become like family to us. She’s extremely reliable, common,and treats your pet as if her own. She sent tons of pics so we wouldn’t miss her too much while gone. We will use her again in a second on our next trip away ❤️”

“I am beyond satisfied with the care, dedication and love Mason gave my kitties while I was away. There was daily communication. He sent plenty of pictures. My boys were in good spirit when I returned (cats will let you know if they were not happy while you’re gone! - iykyk). I have found my go to person for my babies!!! Thank God!! Please book Mason - you will not be disappointed!!”

“Taylor and Bruno are fantastic, we really appreciate their house sitting-dog watching and taking care of our chickens. Wonderful communication and pictures. Thank you Taylor and Bruno!!”

“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”

“Hailee was amazing! She stayed at my apartment with my dog for 10 days while I was out of the country. She sent a ton of pictures and videos, and I came home to a happy dog & clean apartment!”

“Bethany did an amazing job watching my 2 fur babies. She sent pictures each day, was on time and compliant with everything I asked. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future and recommend her services to pet owners looking for reliable, trusted care.”

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Dunedin and occasionally visit SWFL. I’ve been caring for ALL types of animals since I was a kid, and it’s something I truly love! I have 2 cats of my own, regularly dogsit German Shepherds for a close friend, volunteer with the Humane Society of Pinellas, and support the Suncoast Animal League. Having worked with pets of all ages, from bottle babies to seniors with special needs, my best approach is to calmly match energy. Patience is more than key, and I will always respect each animal’s unique personality as well as nonverbal boundaries. Pet care is my full-time job! Working with animals and supporting my community are truly my passions. I’m very savvy with time management and love keeping my schedule steady, reliable, and flexible for my clients. Unless we discuss otherwise, I typically spend 30–40 minutes at each drop-in to give your pets proper attention and care without ever rushing. Weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests are always welcome! Even if my calendar shows I’m booked, still feel free to reach out. Further distances and specific circumstances may incur additional fees, which will always be disclosed before confirming. Caring for pets in their own home helps them feel safe and secure in a familiar space. With my own animals at home, this setup also works best for me! I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual routines and paying close attention to their comfort, body language, and any changes in behavior. A calm, familiar environment is essential for building an organic, trusting relationship between new human and pet.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, over 50 years of walking, sitting, and spoiling pups of all shapes and sizes. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies because I treat every dog like my own. Your dog will be in warm, experienced hands and I can’t wait to meet them and hang out with them! Tell your dog I say hi! I’m currently available seven days a week with a fully flexible schedule. Whether you need an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or last minute coverage, I can make it work. Your dog’s routine is my priority! I come to your home so your dog stays comfortable in their own familiar environment. I respect your space, follow your routines, and keep you updated throughout every visit. Sleepovers are no problem; your pup will barely even know you’re gone!

“Laryssa is amazing! She was incredible with the dogs and kept a solid line of communication with us while we were away on vacation. She sent pictures and videos to help us feel at ease. I would highly recommend using her. She’s kind, caring, clean and great with our dogs! Thank you much Laryssa and we look forward to working with you in the future!”

Payton is amazing! We had such a seamless experience! She stayed in our home, sent tons of updates and photos, which made us feel so at ease! She took incredible care and I could tell they had a wonderful time with her! We came home to a happy & tired out pup, fresh sheets on the bed/laundry done, and the house exactly how we left it! You can tell she truly cares, is extremely professional and reliable! We will absolutely be booking her again—highly recommend!

I am beyond satisfied with the care, dedication and love Mason gave my kitties while I was away. There was daily communication. He sent plenty of pictures. My boys were in good spirit when I returned (cats will let you know if they were not happy while you’re gone! - iykyk). I have found my go to person for my babies!!! Thank God!! Please book Mason - you will not be disappointed!!

Kristin was great! My animals loved her and she sent pics after every visit. When I returned home my kitten became ill (to no fault of Kristin’s) and she was awesome in letting me know what his behavior was on the last visit and then helping me figure out what could be bothering him - return urinary pair. She even provided a vet recommendation since she knew we were newer to the area. I will definitely use her again!’

David was our first experience with Rover - and he exceeded all expectations. After first reaching out to him, he responded quickly, offering to come over for a meet and greet. Upon his visit, our family decided quickly that he was a great fit! He was a very likable young man, who we could tell knew his stuff and would be respectable to our home while away. He texted us, with photos, at arrival and departure from our home. He is always quick to respond to keep in touch as needed. We have already booked him again for a week this summer. I would highly recommend him to friends and family!

Debra is a 5+ sitter! My dogs enjoyed their time with her. Debra took great care of them and I am so grateful for her attention towards them! Debra is very professional, very knowledgeable about caring for dogs, attentive to details as to how to make the doggies happy and feel safe, and extremely considerate as a house guest. I would highly recommend Debra! Luna and Kaia send you a big doggie hug!
I know my dog Pickles is in great hands when Richi comes to pet sit for him. Pickles loves lots of attention and love and Richi is so caring and always sends me photos to enjoy. I highly recommend these two pet lovers for times we need to be away from our fur babies.

Jace was fantastic! She did 2 short visits before our trip to get to know our 3 kitties, including one that was still in the integration process. One of our cats has a special diet as well. She was very responsive and sent my wife plenty of photos and videos. We can tell our cats liked her and we will book her for our upcoming out-of-town time when we go to a wedding. She went above and beyond and because of her study situation online, she was able to be at our home about 18-20 hours per day, which replicates our schedule working almost entirely from home. If you think to book her, do it. You will not regret your decision.
