About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.
About: I’ve had five dogs during my life. I grew up taking care of 2 of them, grooming, walking, feeding, and playing with them. I have also dog sat numerous friends’ and neighbors’ dogs both as overnights and drop ins. Currently I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and social, they would be very happy to have a new friend to play with! I work 15 minutes from home Monday-Thursday. On Friday I work from home so I would be with your pet all day Friday-Sunday. On days when I am in the office, I can quickly come home to walk and potty the pet if needed. I have 2 dogs that are very social and friendly to keep your pet company. I also have 2 dog crates should your pet be more comfortable in a crated environment while away.
About: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I also helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 3 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 3 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. For those looking for a HOUSE SITTER, I can work from your house during the day to give your pups all the attention them need. I’m unavailable to stay overnight but will ensure your animals are taken for a late night walk/potty break before bedtime, and we will return first thing in the morning. I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.
“Patricia was beyond fantastic. She truly treated my girl Daisy as her own, and she also cared for my friend’s cat very last minute. She was very communicative and sent so many pictures. I will 100% have Patricia dog sit for me again. Highly recommend!”


About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.
“Teagan stayed at my place for three days and took excellent care of my dogs. She kept me updated on their well-being and ensured the house was maintained. It was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend Teagan for any pet-sitting needs!”

“We had an amazing experience with Jen watching our energetic Vizsla puppy over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he got plenty of exercise and care. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pup, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Joanna was amazing caring for our pups and home while we were away for a week. She was incredibly meticulous with her level of care, especially with our temperamental senior pup and overzealous younger pup that tries to be the alpha. Joanna was great with communication and we would love to hire her again and again. 10 out of 10 stars!”

“Alex did great with my boys. They were happy and she helped with my little guys medication. My dane is over 100 pounds and a playful puppy. She kept good communication and was super helpful. We'll definitely book with Alex again.”

“Michele is our go-to sitter for Sophie. She is kind, patient, thorough with my instructions and leaves my apartment is great condition. My dog is always happy and well cared for when I come home and I can’t ask for more than that. Thank you Michele!”

“Highly recommend! We had a unique request that she was very open minded to. We had a big party and wanted someone to attend to the dogs with us around. Elena is so sweet and incredibly flexible, even moving them around to quieter space so they stayed calm and out of the way during the arrival of guests. She was nice, very reliable, and got the job done perfectly. I look forward to her sitting for us again.”

About: Growing up surrounded by 3 dogs and various small animals, I’ve developed a lifelong passion for caring for our furry friends. From grooming, to walks, feeding, and providing love, animal care has always felt second nature to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and my own dog’s unique needs—extreme separation anxiety—have deepened my understanding and compassion for pets with special requirements. In addition to my dog care experience, I’ve also cared for a variety of small animals, including fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and even ducks! I believe every animal deserves love and attention, and I treat each one as if they were my own. Professionally, I work as an Executive Assistant, where I manage schedules, coordinate logistics, and handle high levels of responsibility and organization every day. That same reliability, attention to detail, and communication carries over into the care I provide for pets and their owners. I understand how important trust and consistency are when leaving your pets in someone else’s hands. My commitment to animal welfare extends beyond pet care. I’ve actively volunteered at shelters and organized food drives to support animals in need. If you’re looking for someone who is not only trustworthy but also passionate about providing the best care for your beloved pets, I’m here to help. I work in St. Pete about 3-4 times a week in office and work from home in Tampa the other days. My schedule is flexible. For the weekends I have no set commitments making me extremely flexible. I treat every client’s home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pets and your home. I always make sure doors are locked, instructions are followed carefully, and your space is kept clean, safe, and organized while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands.

Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority! I have a flexible job and I’m off usually on weekends. I get an hr lunch in my job so I won’t mind to walk the dog if is necessary during my lunch break. As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for like family. I understand how important trust is when leaving your furry companions in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritize reliability, patience, and attentive supervision at all times. From daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and extra cuddles, I create a calm and secure atmosphere tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a trustworthy, caring, and positive environment.

Averi helped with a last minute booking, which I was super grateful for. While she was house sitting, the fire alarm went off and she carried my dog and his stroller down nine flights of stairs like a superhero. Everything went wrong during my night out, but she handled it like a pro.

Joanna was amazing caring for our pups and home while we were away for a week. She was incredibly meticulous with her level of care, especially with our temperamental senior pup and overzealous younger pup that tries to be the alpha. Joanna was great with communication and we would love to hire her again and again. 10 out of 10 stars!

Our sitter canceled just a few weeks before we were scheduled to travel do 10 days. I was a little nervous to leave them and almost cancelled our trip. After meeting Kylie I felt very comfortable. She gave us updates daily and took great care of them and our home. One of our dogs is a senior so it’s an added stress to leave him. I could tell when we arrived home he’d been well cared for. I’d highly recommend her and plan to use her again.
