“Katie took such wonderful care of my cat, Nala! When I first left Nala in her care, she was incredibly shy and hesitant, but Katie's patience and attention really made a difference. By the time I came back, Nala had become so much more affectionate and trusting, which means the world to me. Katie went above and beyond in making sure Nala was comfortable, well-fed, and loved. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up with my dog as my best friend along with being my neighbors go-to dog sitter for weeks on end. I’m great about giving them all the time and affection they need while the owner is away!:) I am a current Surgical Technologist student/part time worker. I have a very flexible schedule with most of my days after 2 being free, or some mornings off! I live in a duplex with a little yard along with a great neighborhood for long walks around Davis Island. I’ve grown up caring for pets and always love having them around.

About: From playful puppies to supporting senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced it all. I'm very active and would love to have your fur baby by my side—whether it’s for long walks, a zoomie-filled afternoon, or some quiet cuddle time. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to your pet’s needs. I treat every pet like my own—with love, safety, and respect. With open availability and a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate all the time and attention your pet deserves. My love for animals means I can provide consistent care, affection, and active engagement, whether it’s throughout the day or on a regular routine. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine and instructions, ensuring timely feedings, exercise, and play. I understand the importance of balance, maintaining their diet while providing plenty of playtime and walks. I respect both your home and pet’s space, keeping things tidy and comfortable. You’ll receive updates as requested, so you'll stay in the loop!

About: Ever since I was little I had been the go-to person for caring for my family dog. Even after moving out, I've still enjoyed watching her for my parents when they needed a weekend sitter. I'd take her on walks to the dog park, beach trips, and of course, stop for a pup cup- her favorite! I've also had the pleasure of regularly volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay where I walk, play, and give lots of love to dogs in need. From energetic pups to more relaxed seniors, I've gotten to know the different needs and personalities of many dogs. With me, your pet is guaranteed to be treated like family! I have a flexible schedule and work different hours each day, which allows me to accommodate pets with varying needs. I am able to provide care for your pet before work or during the late afternoons and evenings once I'm done for the day. I also am off on Friday's which gives me extra availability to spend with your pet. I'm happy to work around your pet's needs and adjust to a schedule that works for you! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure environment at all times, whether at home or during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet's care. I'm a responsible and trustworthy sitter, and I always treat each pet as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands!

“Sam was so awesome and communicative! She sent pics and updates daily of my pup and I felt great having her there!”


“Amanda was amazing! She was super great with my notoriously picky cat, and she was super responsive with updates and texts as well. I also appreciated her willingness to assist with the mail and the house alarm!! 10/10 will be booking with her again in the future.”


“Olivia was great with my dog Penny, she is very sweet. She was willing to do what was needed to get her to take her medicine when not feeling good. She also took the time to come meet us before the weekend walks. Would definitely use her again.”


“Shelby is awesome. He took really good care of my 4 spoiled cats. He is so caring and you can tell how much he loves animals. I already booked the next visits!!”


“Bekah was great with my dogs! Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been passionate about working with animals for years. In high school, I volunteered at my local animal shelter, helping with tasks like cleaning cages, feeding animals, walking dogs, and socializing them. During undergrad, I led a student organization at CU Boulder called Collar Scholars, where we partnered with Canine Companions to help raise and train puppies to become future service dogs. Now, as a medical student at USF Morsani College of Medicine, I’ve continued that passion by starting a new club modeled after Collar Scholars. I also currently volunteer with therapy dogs at the hospital, where we greet and comfort patients. In addition to that, I have experience working with a wide range of animals, including senior pets and dogs with medical conditions like diabetes. My love for animals runs deep and continues to be an important part of my life. I’m currently a medical student with a very flexible summer schedule, as most of my studying is done from home. I’m available for check-ins and playtime with your pups in the mornings, midday, and evenings, and I’m generally free on weekends as well! I follow instructions very well and understand that your pup's safety is at the upmost importance since I also have two dogs back home that I care about as a fellow family member. I also believe its my duty to respect your home and leave it the way you left it if not better.

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.

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.


“Holly was content and happy when we arrived home. We are thankful to Zach for breaking up her day!”


About: Hi, I’m Morgan! I’ve been caring for dogs for about 3-5 years in addition to school and other jobs, providing reliable pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. While in college, I was actively involved with the Guide Dog Foundation, gaining hands-on experience training and socializing puppies. I specialize in providing attentive, loving care—especially for young dogs who need consistency and a gentle touch. Whether your pup needs a playful friend or a calm, reassuring presence, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well-cared for while you’re away. As a busy graduate student with a part-time job on Mondays, I’ve structured my schedule to offer pet care on the days I’m fully available and focused. I currently provide dog sitting and related services on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. These days are free from both classes and work, allowing me to dedicate the time and attention your dog deserves. I make it a priority to maintain a consistent routine for the pets I care for, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and well-loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and cleanliness I would expect in my own. I follow all provided instructions carefully—whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medication, or house rules. I aim to keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable while their family is away. I also make sure to keep the home tidy, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and ensure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Mostly cats and dogs. I have learned to understand their behaviors really well. I even have a special place in my heart for the seniors & the sassy ones. I am happy to help! I work from home part time so I can be flexible with pet care & have time to play/give attention to your pet. I am available for boarding after 3 pm on weekdays & I am pretty flexible for weekends. I work from home and am able to walk your dog as much as they need should you need to board them at my home.

“Morgan was AWESOME!! She truly went above and beyond for me and my fur babies while we were away. Quick to respond, fun updates each day, and was super reliable. Ended up being gone a bit longer than expected due to a hurricane and she made sure our pets and home were taken care of. She also somehow got my super timid cat to love her. :) Couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Tyler is one of my closest friends and I have never seen anyone care for dogs as much as her. There are no words to describe her love and passion for dogs. I have the utmost respect for her and the way she treats every dog she comes encounter with. She would treat your dog like her own which is saying a lot considering the love and energy she pours into her own two dogs. These are among a multitude of reasons of why Tyler would be more than trustworthy with any dog she has the opportunity to care for.”
