1. Jennifer W.

“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!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I cared for my own dog at home when my parents were at work. I took him out, played with him, and fed him. I’ve taken care of a few other dogs in Tampa belonging to my friends. I have a passion for dogs, and I always give them as much love and care as I can! I go to the University of Tampa. I have class Monday/Wednesday from 11:30-1 and then 2:30-6. On Tuesday/Thursday I have class only 10-12pm. Friday I have classes 11:30-1 and 2:30-3:40. I also live about 5 minutes from campus. My professors are very flexible as well. Please let me know what your needs are and I will make sure they’re met!! I live in Post Hyde Park where we have 2 fenced in dog parks. The dogs love to run around and play with toys in there to get some energy out! I am happy to keep your dog in a crate if needed, but I am beyond happy to let dogs on my furniture/bed. I make sure to keep water and food out for them and pet them as much as they need!!

About: IG: @HaileyCardenales All my life i’ve just loved animals. They bring so much joy and happiness into someone’s day. I believe that I can take great care of your precious pup whenever your in need. My family and I currently have 2 french bulldogs myself, one full of energy and my other is very relaxed and down to earth. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to take care of them while you are away on vacation or just out of town and enjoying yourself. Don’t worry tho, You came to the right person!! I am currently a senior here at The University of Tampa. My classes are spread out throughout the week making me available to step out a couple times a day for a quick dog walk or drop in. Some days start later than others in where I am able to accommodate and be a lot more flexible if you schedule with me in advance. I currently have a 2 French bull dogs who are two are just 2 different characters! One is less maintenance, living to sleep and hang around all day while the other is super rambunctious. He loves belly rubs, frequently gets bursts of energy w/ the zoomies , loves treats and lots of attention so my family and always do our best to keep him active and in shape; Walks, Carrides, Jazz Music, Tv and Activities with toys tend to tire him right out. With a puppy, I know it can be a struggle but with the right methods, everything will slowly fall in to place. We of course always make sure he is well fed and constantly taken out.

15. Jayson C.

“Jayson did a great job watching my fur babes! He sent us lots of photos and updates without even needing to ask. I felt comfortable and reassured that my pups were well taken care of while I was away. Would def rebook and reccomend.”


16. Benjamin M.

“Ben has looked after our dog several times now and he’s been great. Totally trust him to take care of our furbaby and gives me peace of mind.”


17. Daphne F.

“Daphne was amazing with my two kitties! She came on time, played with them and updated me daily with pictures, leaving me feeling relieved while on vacation knowing they are in good hands! She was so respectful of my home and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely use her again and recommend her services!”


18. Michael D.
“Nobody will treat your pet(s) better than Michael, treats his own dachshund like the princess she is. Best friends with my own dog and cat. Loves to get his steps in so there is ample opportunity for exercise. Knows all the good dog parks plus he has an incredible baby dog voice.”


19. Rachel W.

“This is my first time using Rover, and Rachel stepped in on a very short notice. She did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while I was traveling. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, and she would send me regular updates and pictures while I was gone. I will definitely use her again.”


20. Molly W.
