“Although Summer arrived a little bit later than the agreed upon booking time, she became Arthur's new best friend! She took great care of him and gave him plenty of stimulation. We had huge peace of mind traveling out of state.”

“This was our first time booking with Megan and we don’t regret it! She took great care of our pup and even sent a great update after. We’ll be booking more drop ins with her and even a house sitting!”


“Margot took great care of our two cats. She made sure to let us know how they were doing each day, which put our minds at ease. We look forward to having her help us the next time we travel. Thank you, Margot!”

“Christine was wonderful with Gizmo. Even though it was their first time meeting, he warmed up immediately to her. It was a drop in visit for an hour but when we came home he was playing with her and it almost seemed like he didn’t miss me at all! I’m sure he is looking forward to spending more time and doing some overnights with Christine.”

About: I have had a pet in my home since I was born. The first dog I remember was Ginger, then PJ, then Sparkie, then Jenna and Millie, Anja and Argus, then Bonnie and Clyde, and now we have our very friendly buddy, Gustav. They ranged from a miniature Schnauzer and Jack Russels to Rottweilers and German Shepherds. My closest friend's dad bred and trained German Shepherds while I was in high school. I was surrounded by a pack most of my life and loved it. I owned a local pup friendly pub for 14 years and made it a point to great every dog that came in. I am hoping for the chance to see some of those dogs again! My current schedule is very flexible, so I can focus on the pet's care when they need it. I understand that different pets require different things at different times and I am able and willing to accommodate with a bit of forewarning. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 month old puppy who loves new company. He and I go for walks around our neighborhood daily and we do outings to the park a few times a week. I have 2 cats that are indifferent to dogs and they have their own separate space so they can be alone if they want. I deep clean the litter boxes at least twice a week and would be happy to do the same for your kitties at your home. (Access to a hose outside is very helpful for this) I have room for crates and pets are not left outside unattended. I am very vigilant about picking up poop and want to keep a clean yard for the pups to play in.
“This was my first time booking with Alexandra and she will be my new permanent sitter. She sent me so many photos and videos. My cat is so shy and she was stretching around her and she let Alexandra pet her!! She could sense good vibes. :) Very happy cat mom 🩷”

“I had a fantastic experience with Adriana! She was punctual, respectful, and incredibly trustworthy, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog, Shirley, can be a bit particular, but she absolutely loves Adriana—which says a lot! It’s clear she has a natural way with animals, and I appreciated how attentive and caring she was. She followed all instructions perfectly, and I never had to worry about Shirley’s safety or happiness. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Alyssa was wonderful to work with. She followed instructions, communicated clearly and often, and really respected my home. My animals really took a liking to her, as did we! I look forward to using her services in the future.”


“We had Rebecca come every other day to take care of our cat, Dora. Besides checking on food and water and scooping out the litter box, she let Dora out on our screened-in lanai where she gave Dora plenty of affection and played with her. Part of the time Dora sat on her lap and they "chilled" together. Rebecca sent plenty of pictures during her visits. We also have a large dog, Ellie, whom Rebecca did not take care of but did meet and interact with on two occasions. She expressed to me her love of dogs and knew just where to scratch and pet Ellie.”

“Mia was amazing. She was very respectful and caring to our cats. She even went above and beyond to ensure our family members were happy and well taken care of. When we go out of town, Mia is the first person we are booking!”

About: I worked at a dog daycare as a Canine Coach and Lead for almost two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels in a fast-paced environment. I also have over 15 years of personal pet care experience, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. As a USF student with an active lifestyle, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, playtime, and attention while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means helping energetic puppies burn off energy or giving older dogs a calmer, more relaxed experience. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, especially over summer break while I’m home from USF. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, so dog walking, playtime, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing throughout the week. I do have a few trips planned during the summer, but I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can fully dedicate my time and attention to each pet. Reliability and communication are very important to me, and I want pet owners to feel confident their dogs are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while keeping the pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, or any special care needs. I have experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels from my time working at a dog daycare, so I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and reading animal behavior. I also believe communication and trust are extremely important, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away.
“Jennifer did a fantastic job caring for my dog while I was out of town. From the moment we connected, she was professional, dependable, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I returned home, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly comfortable with Jennifer. It’s obvious she truly loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch my dog again in the future.”

About: I am a former veterinary assistant and have thorough experience with all types of animals (small, large, and exotic). My family and I recently moved to beautiful Palm Harbor with our two amazing children. I have a whole collection of wonderful pet clients from where we used to live, so I’m hoping to meet so many more of you here in Florida! 🌞 🐶 🐈⬛ 🐓 🦎 Animals with special needs such as medications or unique routines are welcomed. One of my favorite parts about pet sitting is experiencing clients' reactions to photos of their pets that I send them while they are away. I know the feeling that pet owners feel when they have to leave their "fur-children" in the hands of someone they don't know, and how scary and stressful that can be. Clients who have experienced this uncertainty about leaving their animals with a new sitter have come home happy, relieved and thankful that they booked with me as their pet sitter. I have my children with me day time hours Monday through Friday until 4pm, so evenings work best for dog walks and drop ins at the moment. However, if you need daytime hours specifically, my children will usually be tagging along with me (they are well-behaved). My family and I are always active doing something outdoors as a family (mostly rain or shine)! I will walk your dogs as long as needed and make sure your pets get plenty of attention when I stop to take care of them.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. As an adult, I rescued and trained two dogs of my own and have experience as a professional dog walker and pet sitter. I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own and I will be especially careful to follow any instructions you may have for their care. I am currently working part-time so I am free to visit with and/or walk your pups during the day. I can also check in on your cats or other small pets. I am available for midday visits and walks, and overnight pet sitting. I can also bring in packages, mail, or follow any other special instructions. I will care for your pets as if they were my own.
“Peyton took great care of our lab while we were away. Our dog loved her time with her, and Peyton was very good at keeping us updated. Communication was great! Thank you, Peyton!”

“Bianca was really good with my dogs. They seemed happy when I came back. She sends really sweet pictures and spends a lot of time with the animals. She was also able to come at the last minute to help with the dogs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Debbie did a fantastic job with our fur babies. We received pictures and an update everyday. We came home to well fed and happy kitties. I would highly recommend Debbie, and would definitely book with her again.”

Alexandra is incredibly professional, friendly, and clearly loves cats. She took amazing care of our cats, gave us total peace of mind while we were away, and treated them with genuine affection and attention. We could tell they were in great hands. We will absolutely ask for her help again next time. ❤️

Courtney was a wonderful caretaker for our two cats for a week while we were traveling. She even got our tortoiseshell scaredy-cat who is nervous about everything, especially strangers, to come out of her shell to get plenty of petting, brushing, and play time. Courtney was very communicative and provided lots of detailed updates with pictures. It was so reassuring to know that our cats were being so well taken care of while we were away, by someone they formed a real bond with. We would absolutely recommend Courtney to anyone looking for an enthusiastic and caring person to watch their pets!

We rebooked Christine because she did such an awesome job the first time. Not only was she detailed oriented she spent time coming by beforehand to see if any of the puppies’ routines have changed. She also took great care of our home and when the puppies had the kinds of accidents puppies have she was kind enough to clean up the house and wash the pee pads. Christine is very loving and caring with our pets and is a wonderful resource for us. Please use Christine., you won’t regret it. In fact you’ll be very happy!

Alyssa was amazing! She took great care of our three cats, two of which are special needs. She spent quality time making sure they were well fed, cleaned up after, exercised, and loved. Our special needs boys make quite a mess and she endured everything was pristine! I would highly recommend Alyssa! We hope to schedule with her on future trips!

Our cat Jada, got to meet Chelsea when we had to leave town unexpectedly. I am a very protective mom because Jada is not a friendly cat, but Chelsea used her purrsuasion to coax her out from under the bed. It worked marvelously because Jada now has a new adopted mom. Jada loved spending time with Chelsea and I think the feeling was mutual. The photos and videos helped me to feel that we had made a good choice for a pet sitter. Jada met her at the door each visit. Chelsea is a blessing. Do I highly recommend her? YES I SURE DO. Thank you for being there Chelsea when I couldn't.
