Amariani is the best! My pets are so comfortable with her and she’s great about sending pictures and updates throughout the stay. I always come home to happy pups and a clean house. HIGHLY recommend her!

About: I’ve had pets for the past 27years of my life and can’t imagine my life without them. Pets may only be around for part of our lives but we’re their whole lives and giving them the best happiest one possible is always my goal. I have lots of patience for your stubborn pets and tons of energy for your hyper ones. Have confidence knowing I will fulfill all your pets needs while keeping them safe, clean/tidy, and happy. Currently a stay at home mom of a teen daughter who is going to college soon and needing to save up money for schooling and other expenses. I’m experienced with many things; long walks, higher intensity activities for your bigger pals, training simple commands and potty training, preparing/cooking nutritional meals or simple feedings, some grooming like baths, brushing hair/teeth. I’m also very adamant about safety and good hygiene so I’ll always be making sure your pet and their space is clean, tidy, and most importantly safe.

Jailene arrived early to our house and stayed until the discussed time on the last day. She sent tons of pictures of our pups which we really appreciated. She was very open about when she would be leaving for the day and coming back. We enjoyed having her stay over with our pups!

Julia took great care of our 3 dogs while we were away on vacation. Two of the dogs take meds daily and she made her own tracking document to keep tabs. She was in contact with any questions she had and with pics and vids of the dogs. They seemed happy and content when we came home - in fact, I’m not sure they missed us. Guess that means Julia was fabulous! Would recommend Julia and will book her again.

I can't say enough good things about Ethan! He took care of my 3 pups and cat, like they were his own. He communicated daily with updates and pictures of everyone playing in the backyard having a good time. Additionally he kept the pups happy and exercised with walks. I highly recommend Ethan for anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter!

Beatriz was amazing! Both my pets were taken well care of and were well loved. She sent pics a couple times each day which really was so sweet. She stayed the night and came over multiple times each day we were gone. I felt very comfortable with her and she is willing, I would happily book her again

About: I own a poop scooping service in Apollo Beach! Reap’s Pet Waste Removal! Ask about it! I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments since childhood. I provide consistent walks, proper feeding, medication when needed, bathing, and basic obedience reinforcement. I treat every dog as if it were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I currently own a black golden doodle! My schedule is completely open at the moment as I would like to make this a full-time career and incorporate the experience/knowledge into my own future small business plans. I have a fully fenced yard in a quiet HOA neighborhood. Pets are always supervised, kept on routine, and never left unattended outside. I follow owner instructions exactly and provide regular updates.
