“Melissa and Omar are amazing, our young pit Luna loves going to daycare and is always so excited being dropped off every morning! She’s been having a great time playing outside with her new friends! It’s just the beginning of this adventure for Luna but we can’t say enough nice things about Melissa and Omar’s doggie daycare! Thank you for taking such great care of our little girl! 10 out of 10 would recommend!”


“I had to find someone to watch Archie last minute and Paola took him right in! She sent so many pics and updates it was fantastic! And unbelievably, Archie is tired!!! He is a very high energy pup so it's great to have a sleepy pup after a long day at work. Thank you!”


“Very professional. Communicates accurately and to the point. I will repeat often and frequently because Shamus needs caring socialization. I believe this dog operator genuinely cares about each one of the dogs and seems to understand my specific golden retriever breed. My 10 month old golden is maturing slowly, but surely and this may be what Seamus needs most. Jack”



“What a wonderful family! Luiz & Patricia are incredibly professional and kind (as are their daughters & pup!) and made my girl feel right at home. She came home exhausted after having spent much of the day running around outside and playing with their dog & daughters. I always LOVE to get updates during a stay, and I received so many fun pictures and videos. I could not recommend them more!!!”


“I think our puppy Lucy officially found her second home with Dawn and her family! Knowing we needed a sitter before even bringing our puppy home, I turned to Rover and found Dawn—and I’m so glad I did. She went above and beyond from the start, even coming over with her kids to meet Lucy beforehand. She’s truly salt of the earth, and I immediately felt at ease the moment I met her. As first-time dog parents, we had plenty of questions and requests, and Dawn was so accommodating, evening keeping us updated with the sweetest photos. I loved that on our first daycare service Lucy got to socialize with her kids and even play with another dog while she was there. On top of that, my husband has a difficult work schedule, and Dawn was incredibly flexible, which made everything so much easier. Watching a hyper puppy is no small task, but Dawn handled it with such care and patience. We are so grateful to have Dawn and her family in out circle!”


“We found ourselves in Mexico with no one to watch our dog on our return day. We could have called a few different friends to let our dog out a few times but no one could take him from 8:30am-9:30pm. We were hesitant to book someone we’d never met before but finally just did it. What an incredible experience. Received photos and videos all day. Thank you SO much for treating Porter like one of your own!”


About: My husband and I have cared for and trained our own dogs since we were kids, sometimes as many as 4 dogs at once. Our beloved dogs Blue & Holly (both weimaraners) died two and one year ago and we find ourselves missing them both so much. We would love to host or walk your dog and give them the same love and attention we gave our Blue & Holly. We currently have 10 acres of land with numerous dog-friendly trails for lots of walking, sniffing, and exercise! Axel works from home and our family is also home most of the day and our boys are homeschooled so we have flexible schedules during school hours, most times after 8am. We may be able to be more flexible, so please let us know! For visits/walking: We are able to fit in whatever your pup needs. From walks (including small amount of training, if desired) to playing in your house or yard, to simple affection. Depending on the time or scenario, we may be able to go running with your pooch a few times a week. We love dogs! We have a large backyard and also go on at least two long dog walks per day. Dogs can snuggle in the house or play in the backyard throughout the day. We have 5 kids who have experience with large dogs and are eager to meet your pup. Please, only dogs that are good with children and other dogs.


“Melanie watched my 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Sadie on a moment notice. Her friendly snd inviting personality made it easy to trust her care. She gave us picture and text updates on Sadie so we knew she was doing just fine. I would highly recommend to a friend and I plan to use Melanie in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for all that you do!”


About: Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. With a lifelong passion for animals, I enjoy nurturing dogs and caring for their needs. My experience includes senior dogs and behavior observation to ensure your dog feels safe. I am eager to provide a comfortable and caring home for your beloved pup! 🐾 I work from home on the weekdays, so I’m able to remain attentive for your doggo throughout the day. If your dog sticks to a routine just let me know and I will be happy to make them feel at home. I live in a large multi room apartment with a grassy (unfenced) back yard. There are no other pets in the home so my attention will be focused on your fur baby. My situation is good for dogs who prefer a relaxed environment. There is a one floor walk up leading to my home, so I just ask that your dog is comfortable with stairs (or small enough to be carried).

About: With over a year of hands-on dog care experience, I keep pups happy, healthy, and active. I share my home with a relaxed older lab and a high-energy Australian Shepherd I’ve been training, so I understand the needs of active dogs.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life but have owned my own dog for the past 4 years. I am constantly watching my friend's dogs while they are away and know how important it is to have someone to trust and provide a loving and caring home away from home for your pet while you are away! I currently work from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup! I have a highly energetic dog, so we take several walks during the day and then I take her to nearby parks with trails after work. I'm available for boarding during the week and on weekends. I have a medium sized fenced in yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fir baby company! My dog has free reign of the house and is allowed on the furniture and sleeps in my bed but can also crate your dog if needed.

About: Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand them and vice versa. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? Sure, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything or wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 5 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl around my neighborhood and absolutely love meeting new doggies to hang out with. I have a lot of flexibility during the week to help you with your dogs – I work remote and would love to help out whenever I can I just moved to St Pete from Massachusetts and I miss my family’s golden doodle Finn very much. I will always make sure your pets are safe and happy.

About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments for 10 yrs. My family has always been grateful that their pets are loved! I work at home Mon - Fri 8 AM- 4:30 PM with a 1 hour lunch. I have two dogs and one cat that are always happy! My fiancé will take care of our pets if you would prefer that I go to your home so your pets are as comfortable as they can be! I provide multiple potty breaks and one 30 minute walk after 4:30 Mon - Fri. On the weekends I will take them out for an adventure if wanted, play fetch or whatever their favorite game is! If you would prefer I go to your home that is ok also! I will ensure your pets are happy and healthy and provide you as many updates as needed!

Lauren H.
“Lauren took care of Rita while I was away on a weekend trip. Rita is my senior Chihuahua with diabetes and Cushing's disease, requiring extra medication and closer attention than a typical senior dog. Because of this, I’m very selective about who I trust to watch her. Lauren went above and beyond to meet Rita’s needs. She was timely in administering Rita’s medication, gave her plenty of affection, and took her on many walks. I also received frequent pictures and updates throughout my trip, giving me peace of mind that Rita was in great hands. I fully trust Lauren to watch Rita again and highly recommend her for any pet-sitting needs.”

I had to find doggy day care for my two dogs very last minute. I contacted Melanie and she was very accommodating and helpful. It was the first time I had left my two rescue dogs with anyone and she was PERFECT! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who is needing someone special for their beloved dogs.
