Gina is truly amazing! She's looked over my cat (Kel) twice now, each for a whole week dropping in twice a day. She spent quality time with Kel at each visit, and Kel always looked forward to her stopping by. Thank you Gina for all you do!

Great experience with Anthony! We had a last-minute request, and he was quick to respond and flexible with making changes we needed. Our two Aussies responded really well to him, and we loved receiving plenty of pictures and clear communication with every visit. We’re looking forward to working with Anthony again in the future.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of a medium sized fella for four years (not anymore) with a feeding schedule + consistent walks throughout the day. With many pets & treats of course!!! I am available for care during the day on weekends, as well as Thursdays and Fridays when I work from home. I can provide evening walks Mondays and Tuesdays. I am willing to shift my work from home days if day care is absolutely necessary! I do live in an apartment, but I have no problem with multiple walks a day or taking them to the dog park within my neighborhood. I respect and follow any routines necessary for the furry friends!!

About: I’ve taken care of different animals for many years. Having my own dog growing up, fostering a puppy this past year, pet sitting for my neighbors puppy everytime she’s away, I’ve done it all!! I’m currently working part time on my own schedule, so I can have myself be pretty open to all pet care needs at almost any time! I love playing, walking, cuddling, training and whatever else!! I can crate a dog if needed, or share a bed with him. I’m a full dog person

About: I’ve been dogsitting other people’s pups since I was a kid and have so much love for furry friends. I finally got my own dog in 2021 and he is everything to me! He loves other dogs and I would be so happy to have your good boy or girl to spend time with us. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, leash trained or not, as well as reactive dog experience. Looking forward to meeting your pups & loving them as I do my own! I work full time from home so my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks, play time, and the like. I’m available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week! Dogs have free rein of the house here so they’ll be as comfortable as they are at home. I have the space for a crate if you prefer one to be used at night, you would just have to provide it. There’s a lovely walking trail in my complex, as well as a large fenced in dog park just a short walk away from my apartment.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal caregiver who grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds. I’ve raised my two small senior dogs (now 11 and 13) since they were puppies, and currently care for a small menagerie — including two turtles, two frogs, a snake, and a cat. I also frequently take care of my roommate’s high-energy German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable with large breeds and a wide range of personalities. My lifelong experience with animals has taught me how to handle pets of all ages, temperaments, and species with patience, confidence, and love. Whether you need someone for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I’ll treat your pet like part of the family and make sure they’re safe, happy, and well-cared-for while you’re away! As a remote MD graduate student at USF, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time, I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I’m grateful that my lifestyle allows me to be present, dependable, and fully engaged with every pet I look after. I treat every pet’s home like my own—respectfully, responsibly, and with great attention to detail. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable, whether that means feeding at a specific time, going on familiar walking routes, or keeping up with medication and playtime. I always make sure your pet feels loved and cared for, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re in good hands.

About: Hi everyone, my name is Angela! I have owned pets my entire life and love caring for my furry friends! I have three fur babies of my own currently and love spending my days just hanging out with them! I have experience with puppies, both small and large dogs, and cats. I am very gentle and patient with animals. I love to care and play with animals as I have been around them my entire life. In the past I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter so I am really dedicated to the well-being and giving animals the love they deserve. I would like to put my knowledge of animals to good use and make sure they get the attention they need at all times. I am eager to meet your fur babies and expand my caregiving skills and think I would be of wonderful help to your busy schedule! I am currently 100% dedicated to working with animals and making this my current position for the time being. I have a master’s degree but have not yet started a position in this field. Safety is always my number one priority! I will ensure both the animals and the client’s home are taken care of while they are away.
