About: I’ve spent over 12 years caring for my three family dogs through every stage of life, and growing up in a pet-friendly household gave me a lifelong love for animals. I’ve also cared for and watched friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention, love, and care to make sure they feel happy, safe, and relaxed while they’re with me. I work full-time Monday–Friday, with Fridays at home, and I’m fully available on weekends. I absolutely love spending time with dogs—giving them attention, exercise, and companionship is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time, and it pairs perfectly with my love for working out and getting my steps in! Pet care lets me share that love while also earning a little extra as a young professional. Your pet’s safety and well-being is my top priority. On walks, I will keep dogs securely leashed and ensure they get exercise at a comfortable, enjoyable pace. During drop-ins, I will follow your instructions carefully for feeding, medications, and routines, providing a calm and attentive presence so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for all animals. From cuddly lap dogs to energetic adventurers, I understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. I cared for my sweet Shih Tzu for 15 wonderful years until he passed in March 2025, and trained my high-energy golden retriever who’s now 4 years old. My own experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and in tune with dogs at every stage of life. Whether your pup needs a calm, comforting presence or someone to help burn off some energy, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and can’t wait to meet yours! I have a flexible work schedule so I’m available for week day drop-in’s, walks, etc. any time of day. I also have availability most nights and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Golden loves to play and chase lizards in. I also have 4 chickens that are securely contained inside of a chicken coop.
“Amazing sitter! She is so sweet and quick to respond. Very responsive and made sure our babies were taken care of while we were on vacation! AND A LOT of pictures! Thank you!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? With over 10 years of experience and a lifelong connection to animals, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pet I care for. I grew up on a farm, so animal care has been second nature to me from a very young age. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to slow-moving senior pets, and I know how to adjust my care to meet each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with basic training, crate routines, medication administration, and senior care—including mobility support and extra TLC for aging pets. Whether your dog needs a structured walk or your cat just wants quiet companionship, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal like family * I currently work Monday through Thursday, which allows me to dedicate **Fridays through Sundays fully to pet care**. During those days, I’m available *, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs—whether it's dog walking, drop-in visits, or extended care. Having open availability on the weekends means I can provide consistent, attentive service without being rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending my free days caring for animals, and I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. --- Would you like to add anything about your experience or the types of pets you care for (e.g., dogs, cats, senior pets)? I can include that too! 1. Pet Sitting (In the Client’s Home) Daily Routine & Responsibilities: Follow the pet’s regular feeding, medication, and exercise schedule. Provide fresh water at all times. Clean litter boxes, cages, or yards as needed. Give affection, attention, and playtime based on the pet’s comfort level. Maintain communication with the pet owner (updates, photos, etc.). Ensure the home stays secure (locking doors, bringing in mail, etc.)
About: I have been a pet sitter multiple times for family and friends. I have flexibility with my schedule and can handle multiple pets at once. I work in office and remote but love to meet new people and pets in my free time. I'd love to provide services to those who need it like I've done for many year with my family dogs and cats! I will take care of the space the pets will be in for my clients home to make sure its safe and comfortable for the pet while their family is away or busy. I'll ensure it stays clean and all belongings are untouched and tucked away.
“Taylor was awesome with my dog. I am gone for 12+ hours due to my job and Taylor is the first dog walker I have used where I come home to my dog not being overly energetic. He clearly gets a lot of play time with her!! She is very responsive, professional, and sends the cutest pictures! :)”
“Bre was so perfect to watch our cats! She came by ahead of time to met them and understand their routine and care expectations. I also loved the cute photos she uploaded of our babies while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Taylor was great! Our dog had an issue while we were out of town and Taylor was awesome at helping take care of it. I would definitely recommend her to anyone we know.”
About: I have been grooming pets for 17 years now and would like to extend my services. So with me as your pet sitter I will also make sure they do not end up matted or get too dirty while you are away! I own three dogs of my own and feel that all pups deserve nothing but the best care. I have been certified in pet CPR and have lots of experience with special needs dogs and extra hyper dogs as well! I do work full time grooming but I have control of my schedule and can control how long my days are. I can provide care before and after work and I can do overnight stays. Certainly! Here’s a summary paragraph: When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their safety by ensuring the environment is secure and free of hazards. I build trust with both the pets and their owners through regular communication and by understanding each pet’s unique needs. Additionally, I create a comfortable and engaging atmosphere with clean surroundings, fresh water, and tailored activities that suit each pet's energy level, ensuring they feel safe and at home while their owners are away.

Port Tampa City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Karin was absolutely amazing with my cats! She was communicative, attentive, and even vacuumed up for me at the end of her stay without my asking. Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future. She definitely eased my mine as I was traveling out of town for a wedding!
I just wanted to say thank you for taking such great care of my cat! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such kind and capable hands. I really appreciated the updates, attention to detail, and how you clearly treated my pet with love and patience. I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust you again in the future!
Baylei did a wonderful job watching my two sweet cats! She was prompt about coming each day to our apartment, and she was consistent with sending photos to keep us updated on our pets while we were away. She was so easy to work with. I highly recommend and plan to book her again!
We were so appreciative that James was willing to watch our two dogs for the holiday last minute. He kept us up to date and both of our pups seemed very happy and healthy when we returned. We would highly recommend James and would certainly work with him again!
