“Linda did an amazing job!! My dog actually didn’t want her to leave!! HIGHLY recommend her. You can leave and not worry! She keeps in touch and sends pictures. I will definitely use her again. I can’t say enough good things about her!! You won’t be disappointed if you use her to watch your fur babies !”


“Harry did wonderfully with Makenna! She sent photos of him during their time together, which put my heart at ease. Also, while he was happy to see us, he was calm upon our arrival so I know having her with him eased his separation anxiety.”

About: I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family. Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️ A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.
“Kelli went above and beyond to make sure our anxious kitties were taken care of and relaxed during our trip. She’s very personable and considerate. She sent lots of updates and followed all instructions. Even our scaredy cat loved her right away. Our cats and our apartment were in great condition when we returned. We would definitely use her again!”

“Christina was great with our three dogs! We have a very rambunctious great dane puppy (130 lbs!) so it takes a special person to handle her energy. Christina was very communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos. She followed all of our instructions precisely. Our dogs loved her! Highly recommend!”

About: I have had years of experience with dogs and cats Including experience working in an animal hospital as well as a kennel, and living in a multi dog household myself. I have lots of free time on weekends and holidays to make sure your pet gets the care needed, as well as time to provide care during the week days I have done lots of pet sitting in clients homes before and personally feel that is the best way to keep your pet’s comfortable. Yours pets comfort is impotent to me.
“So happy to have Carly staying at the house with my 2 scaredy kitties who are afraid of everyone. Carly was extremely responsive, communicative and responsible, taking great care of the house and kittens and going the extra mile to make it a smooth several days for all. Highly recommend”


About: I grew up with family pets around, making me comfortable around all kinds of animals. I began to experience a deep passion for animals and pets, so much so that I got a seasonal job at a pet boarding facility called Pet Paradise. There I was around different dogs and cats all day. Since then, I have been volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, walking dogs and hanging out with the cats. I even participated in the Doggie Day Out program at the shelter! I’m pretty much open any day or time! I currently am unemployed and not in school, so I can work on the fly! Very flexible schedule, ready to work for your fur babies! I currently have a dog in the household that can not be around other dogs, but I am more than happy to treat your animal in your own home! I help take care of the dog here by walking and feeding him, I also do the same for the two cats we own!
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”

“Morgan took great care of our boys while housesitting. She was very attentive to their needs during the meet and greet and I received many pictures throughout her stay. I would be glad to have her back!”

“So thankful we found J! She took amazing care of our dog. Mail was brought in, house was clean, and even washed the sheets and made the guest bed! Daily updates and photos were a bonus. Our dog looked so happy on his adventures! Will definitely use again.”

About: Hello! Ive had a love for ALL animals my entire life. I didnt have my first dog until 7 years ago and she is now my entire world! I strive to make every animal I watch feel as loved as my own dogs! I started working in veterinary medicine 3 years ago as just a receptionist and moved up to an assistant and now a technician. During this time I have been doing dog sitting as well. I started overnight dog sitting as well as drop in visits about a year ago and I absolutely love it. Every animal I have watched I treated like they were my own and I love every single one of them. My idea of a perfect day is being surrounded by animals! Working in Vet medicine has taught me many skills that are required to take care of all different types of animals and has prepared me for any situation that comes my way. With these skills, I hope it gives all fur baby moms and dad's a peace of mind while theyre away from their babies! I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I care for daily as well as take care of any animal that works through the door at the clinic. I love taking care of animals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! My services offer pets to remain in their own home where they feel most comfortable. My goal is to make them feel as happy and safe as possible while their owners are away. While watching your babies I make sure that they get exercise, play time, any medications needed and make their day/night as fun and rewarding as possible!

I am a Veterinary technician, and a licensed wildlife rehabber who serves on the board of directors for central Florida's largest rescue. I love all animals and have extensive references.

About: I have raised plenty of dogs from puppies. I have experience with being through many basic obedience classes as well as training for a canine good citizen. I am currently a stay at home father, whose kid is now in school. I have time to care for pets and enjoy spending time with them. I will do what I can for your fur babies. I really love playtime and exercise. I can also help with basic commands and keeping pets comfortable.
“Kristie is the BEST! She watched our pup Lolo for us for our whole wedding day and we didn’t have to worry about him at all, just enjoyed our day to the max. Cannot say enough how Kristie went the extra mile for us and made our day so much more amazing for being so kind, accommodating and lovely. Thanks so much Kristie!!”


About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 and over the years I have gained the hearts of many families and their fur babies. I know how to read animals body language, gain the animals trust Before going to school I will always check up on any animal I am taking care of and after school I will go straight to take care of the animals and let them out. Before bed I will let the animals out to use the bathroom I will follow the list the owners give me and if the owners says I need to sleep at their house I will to make sure their animals are safe and happy. When caring for my animals at home I always makes sure they have fresh water, food and enough love

We had a wonderful experience with Karin! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated with photos and let us know right away if anything seemed unusual with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very transparent, flexible, and genuinely treated our dogs as if they were her own. It was clear that she truly cared about their comfort, happiness, and well being. Our dogs were well cared for, and we could tell they received plenty of attention and love. We will be using her in the future and trust her with our dogs again. highly recommend Karin to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible pet sitter!

Mariah was amazing, and my dog was great with her, too. When I left and returned, the house was spotless, as if no one had been there. She washed the sheets and towels she used and put them back on the bed. I can't say enough about her. The communication was great. I will use her every time I go away!

Wonderful experience. We have a classic shepherd who only really loves her parents (we tried so much socializing, but genes are genes). Christina handled the timid 70 lbs baby with such grace that within a few hours, they were best friends! You can tell she loves what she does and have experience. Even our more aloof cat was cuddling with her by the middle of her stay. If you have pets that dont get watched often, she's definitely your girl!
