“This is our second time having Rachel take care of our cats. She did a great job again including having to give our one cat medicine every day, which we were worried about. We shouldn't have been. We appreciate her help and recommend her!”
“Emily did a phenomenal job looking after our 3 cats while we were on vacation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she would be there at the same time everyday to feed and visit with our boys. She was 100% reliable and stayed in close communication with detailed updates and lots of pics! We will definitely be using Emily as our go-to sitter from here on out. Thank you so much Emily ! ❤️??”
“Beverly took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She is kind and has excellent communication. We will happily rebook her to care for our babies in the future.”
“Fern was amazing! I just moved to the area and was looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter for my cat. I saw Fern’s other positive reviews and reached out. She replied quickly and was very communicative while we made our plans. She met my kitty- he loved her of course- and learned the ropes a few days before I would be out of town. I felt super comfortable leaving my cat in her care and appreciated the texts and pictures of her visit. I will continue to book her services!! Thank you Fern :)”
“Cohlee really saved us in a last minute request to come and take care of my two boys multiple times over the weekend. I received great communication, photos, and confirmation the dogs were eating. My mind was at ease and I was able to enjoy a last minute vacation because of Cohlee!!!”
“Amanda was reliable and flexible. We came back early and she switched her time for Charleys final visit. She spent time inside and out, as Charley enjoys sitting outside in her stroller, birdwatching, and she was understanding with the occasional hisses of Charley feeling unsure.. Definitely will call her again!”
“Rachael was great. Vasi was affectionate with Rachael which tells me he trusted her completely. She came to the house as promised, gave reportvand pictures. I felt much more at ease going on vacation knowing he was well looked after.”
About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. Friends and family regularly trust me to watch over their furry loved ones, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. At home, I’m the proud pet parent of three senior dogs (including one with a very finicky personality), so I have plenty of patience and experience with pups who need a little extra understanding and care. I also have a sweet rescue cat who came into our lives as a tiny kitten found on the side of the road, and he’s been part of our family ever since. Whether your pet is young and full of energy, older and set in their ways, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ I’m currently working part time and have MWF completely free to walk your pups, visit your cats, or both if you have a dynamic household like mine! I cannot have any outside animals at my house due to a very sensitive senior chihuahua (for your babies’ sake!) LOL I would be happy to come to your house and visit your furry friends, take them on walks, play, and make sure they are comfortable while you’re away!
“Sam did a great job, despite Freddie's shyness. She sent me pictures of him (hiding) every day. I have cameras, so could see her coming and going and trying to lure him out to play. I hope to have her sit again next month.”
“Kailee was by far the best pet sitter I’ve ever had (on this app or elsewhere). She was reliable, responsible, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to care for my cat. My cat LOVED her, and I was able to travel with peace of mind knowing my cat was in such loving and responsible care. We are very grateful!”
About: I’ve lived with animals all my life, my family has had dogs, cats and birds. I’ve lived in a farm for a few years, and learning about animals and their behavior has always been a hobby of mine. I’m currently attending USF full time for my bachelors degree in Psychology. I’m a homebody, and am free for drop ins and walks in the mornings from 8:00am to 12:00pm and after 3:00pm to 7:00pm all days of the week. I let my cat out my front porch almost daily, since she seems to enjoy just listening to nature and having a good time hunting bugs and other small critters. I stay in the living room until she’s ready to come since she doesn’t really like to have other people out there with her. I’ll follow your house rules strictly, and make sure you fur baby stays safe.
“Taytumn was able to work with me last minute for the holidays, did an awesome job with communication during my trip, and did everything I asked when it came to checking in on my cat! Thank-you Taytumn! ?”
About: I have loved and been around animals my entire life (34 years); as a kid we had several cats and dogs at one time. That doesn't include the more unusual pets that we had as well, which ranged from fostered birds & hamsters to raccoons. As an adult I have been blessed with many of my own amazing floofs (cats and dogs), and currently have one cat named Artie😸👑 I harness and leash train my cats, and I am open to any other cat owner that likes a more involved time for their kitty! Whether it's for your cat or your dog, I am happy to spend time with them playing, going for walks, or just some snuggles - whatever your floof prefers! I also accommodate special needs, dietary restrictions, and medical requirements. ✨Drop-ins: feeding, fresh water, potty break outside or litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddling and attention, medication if needed. ✨Dog- Walking: <30 mins> 5 min hello & gear-up, 20 min walk in designated areas, poop bag clean-up, 5 min good-bye **if pet needs feeding and fresh water after will cut to 15 mins walk time** <60 mins> 5 min hello & gear-up, 45 min walk in designated areas, poop bag clean-up, quick pooch clean up if needed after long playtime, 10 min cool down and goodbye, will leave full water **feeding by request** ✨All pet owners get photo and video updates during my visits! I run my own business, so my hours are flexible, and I can work with most preferred times for you and your floof! However, please note that although I do accept same day bookings, I have more flexibility with 2-3 days' notice - therefore some same day & next day requests may not be accepted. Please reach out directly with any questions on specific services or special requests. I look forward to meeting you and my new floof friend! 😸🐶🌟 I run my own business mostly from home - my schedule is most flexible with 2-3 days notice. I do allow same and next day bookings; I just may not be able to accept every time slot that I normally would. Tuesdays I am available after 3pm. Weekend availability may vary. Please see my availability or reach out directly with any questions! I pride myself in providing attentive care, maintaining safe environments for all pets, and communicating effectively with pet owners. I choose to provide care in the pet's familiar home environment, which can help reduce stress and anxiety. When taking pets on walks, I am mindful of potential hazards like other animals, traffic, and unfamiliar environments. I am also prepared to accommodate any special needs of the pet, such as dietary restrictions, medical requirements, or behavioral issues.

Sydney O.
“I can’t recommend Sydney highly enough! She’s not only a true animal lover but also incredibly experienced. At home, she cares for three dogs and a cat of her own, and one of her pups requires special attention for anxiety and pain management. That means she’s no stranger to recognizing subtle behaviors, giving medication, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. What sets Sydney apart is the patience and genuine love she shows for every animal. She understands that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and she goes above and beyond to make sure they get the right attention. Whether it’s long walks, extra snuggles, or carefully following special instructions, you can trust that your pets will be cared for just like her own. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and experienced with both everyday pet care and pets that need a little extra TLC, Sydney is the one you want. Your pets will be in amazing hands!”
