“Monika took fabulous care of our 3 pups. She was very caring, responsible, and sent lots of pictures. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. We’ll definitely ask her back to care for our fur babies again.”


“I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend sitter for my dog, Wonka! Jordan is very detailed-oriented, did a great job following all of my directions for medication administration and potty breaks needed for Wonka’s medical condition, and provided frequent updates which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog, who is usually skeptical around new people, also warmed up to her quickly, and before long they were the best of friends! I won’t hesitate to use Jordan as a sitter again!”


“Abigail took care of our cats so wonderfully when we were out of town. She sent us pictures of them and kept us updated about things. She was super easy and efficient in terms of communication, and promptly answered any of our questions. The cats had a great time with her; our cats love people, so they cuddled with her and got a lot of pets from her. Highly recommend Abi, she will love your pets like her own. Thanks so much, Abi! ♥️”


“Mariah was absolutely incredible! This was my first time leaving my puppy and she sent so many updates and treated my dog Archer as if he was her own. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner and I will be using her again in the future!”


“Janiellee was absolutely fantastic in watching my dog and staying at my home. She gave frequent updates throughout the day along with sending multiple pictures. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”


“Rachel watched our dog at our home over a two week period and did an exceptional job. She is trustworthy and went above and beyond by keeping us updated, keeping our house tidy, and most importantly giving Ziggy extra love and attention. This is our first time using the house sitting option and will definitely use Rachel again in the future.”



“Needed a last minute sitter for 5 days and Amy came through. House and pets were in good order and healthy when I returned. There was an issue with the keys while I was still flying and she worked it out with the building manager so my pets would be cared for. Would recommend for dog, cat, and house-sitting.”


“Rhoda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond and by the pictures she sent I could tell my cat was enjoying his “vacation” as well. I will definitely be booking her for future sittings! Thank you, Rhoda!”


“Mary and mom were delightful. It felt more like I was having some family watch my baby, than some people I’d just met over the internet. They were respectful, kind, compassionate and caring. I had no doubts that my baby was in great hands. Could not have asked for a better experience!”


“Haley was amazing. Mowgli's never been calm even with us around but with Haley around, he was something else..(in a good way). Definitely booking her if we're ever back in Tampa! Thank you, Haley : )”


“Niko was a FANTASTIC house sitter. My dogs, Elvis and Bo loved him. He took great care of them, played with them and sent me pictures. When I arrived home my dogs were calm and happy ( not stressed out at all). He kept the house in great condition. Already booking Niko for a second trip. He’s the best!!”


“We love Rebecca! She stayed at our home with our 3 pups and we were so happy with her service. She communicated well and is super sweet. We will definitely be using her in the future!”


About: Hey, I’m Gabby! I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Tampa with a private fenced park - plenty of space for walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m around all day to hang out with your pup, give them attention, and keep them company. I recently lost my soul dog, Romeo, and I understand how much your dog means to you. To me, pets are family, and I treat them like my own. Your pup’s safety is my #1 priority, and I’ll provide them with a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I also help out with a local dog rescue in Tampa, so I’m experienced with all types of dogs (puppies to seniors, big to small, low energy to high energy) and can handle meds if needed. I just want your dog to feel at home, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. I remember when I needed pet sitters in the past I was so nervous and would do all my research to make sure my sitter was safe and experienced. I can ensure you that with me, your pups will be well taken care of, loved, and safe! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock pet care 24/7. Let me know what your pets schedule is like and I will maintain it. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority. All safety measures are taken to provide a safe experience for everyone. This includes complete supervision, proper fitting gear, safe walking routes and other measures to ensure the well being of all.

“Becky is a Doggy sitter SuperStar! She is extremely attentive to my fur babies. She keeps me regularly updated with pics and videos which makes me feel so secure when I am away. We just absolutely love Becky!!! She has a sincere love for pets, I am so thankful we found a responsible and friendly as Becky!”


“When Melanie came to the meet and greet, the dogs were all over her. They loved her. She also charmed me and my girlfriend during over meeting. She sent us photos and a video while we were gone and we could see they were very happy. A lovely young lady that I will use over and over!”


About: I recently graduated USF with an animal biology degree and have been around animals since I was little. I have been petsitting for several years. I have experience fostering puppies and kittens for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I was also a puppy raiser for Southeastern Guide Dogs. I have my own pets as well. So I have experience with all different animals and ages. I have a very flexible schedule. I am typically available any times throughout the week and most weekends. Let me know what times you would need and I am happy to accommodate. I am able to take your dog on however long of a walk you’d like. I can play fetch/games or cuddle with them. Whatever they need.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm the go-to for friends and family when looking for pet-care and I'm no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. I work freelance in Tampa, and live in Melbourne when I'm not working. When in Melbourne I can walk, house-sit, and play with your pet, however when I'm in Tampa, my time during the day is sparse. I can walk, house-sit, play with, and feed your pet. I love taking dogs to the dog park or the beach by my house. I'm more than happy to perform any chores you need for your pet.
