Mary was an amazing caregiver to our dog Gracie while we attended our daughters wedding in Washington State. I appreciate her staying the entire time so my dog didn't get lonely. She is a kind, caring and trusting person. I would highly recommend Mary to stay with you furry loved ones.

Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.

Stephanie is absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our dog Summit! She went above and beyond for us while we were out of the country ! I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her and has become like family to us. She’s extremely reliable, common,and treats your pet as if her own. She sent tons of pics so we wouldn’t miss her too much while gone. We will use her again in a second on our next trip away ❤️

Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾

Hailee house sat with our dog who has separation anxiety. Meaning she couldn’t leave the house. Not ideal for sure. This is the first time we had used a house sitter and we were a bit nervous. Everything went perfectly! We are so thankful for Hailee and will definitely use her again. Thank-you Hailee 🐕

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life, over 50 years of walking, sitting, and spoiling pups of all shapes and sizes. Friends and family have always trusted me with their fur babies because I treat every dog like my own. Your dog will be in warm, experienced hands and I can’t wait to meet them and hang out with them! Tell your dog I say hi! I’m currently available seven days a week with a fully flexible schedule. Whether you need an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or last minute coverage, I can make it work. Your dog’s routine is my priority! I come to your home so your dog stays comfortable in their own familiar environment. I respect your space, follow your routines, and keep you updated throughout every visit. Sleepovers are no problem; your pup will barely even know you’re gone!

We are over the moon happy with the house sitting experience from Barbara. She was just what we have been looking for to take care of our "special needs" boxer. We received lots of pictures and there was great communication between us. Our family is very satisfied! Thanks Barbara!

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve been caring for ALL types of animals since I was a kid, and it’s something I truly love! I have 2 cats of my own, regularly dogsit German Shepherds for a close friend, and occasionally volunteer with the Humane Society of Pinellas. Having worked with pets of all ages, from bottle babies to seniors with special needs, my best approach is to calmly match energy. Patience is more than key, and I will always respect each animal’s unique personality and nonverbal boundaries. Pet care is my full-time job! Working with animals and supporting my community are truly my passions. I’m very savvy with time management and love keeping my schedule steady, reliable, and flexible for my clients. Unless we discuss otherwise, I typically spend 30–40 minutes at each drop-in to give your pets proper attention and care without ever rushing. Weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests are always welcome! Even if my calendar shows I’m booked, still feel free to reach out. Further distances and specific circumstances may incur additional fees, which will always be disclosed before confirming. Caring for pets in their own home helps them feel safe and secure in a familiar space. With my own animals at home, this setup also works best for me! I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual routines and paying close attention to their comfort, body language, and any changes in behavior. A calm, familiar environment is essential for building an organic, trusting relationship between new human and pet!

About: Dog owners will love my individualized attention and care to their animals. Our house and yard allows for dogs to have much to entertain them during their stay. I have 18 years experience of sheltering and caring for animals and during that time have rescued multiple cats and dogs from the elements of abusive people. My main desire is to provide quality care for your pet. I have one dog & he loves all animals. Your pet will have an enjoyable stay at my home and it will not destroy your bank account. Your pet will receive the care they need to stay comfortable and relaxed while you are gone. Home away from home ! Your pet will not feel neglected !!! Let's schedule a meet and greet, I would love to meet your fur-babies 🙃! Integrating pet care into my household requires a seamless blend of structure and affection. My routine revolves around consistent feeding schedules, energetic outdoor play in the yard, and ensuring every dog feels like a member of the family. Whether it’s refreshing water bowls during morning chores or wind-down cuddles in the evening, I prioritize a safe, attentive environment where pets thrive alongside our daily activities. Care starts with creating a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure. In my home, I prioritize a "home away from home" experience with plenty of supervised yard time, fresh water, and cozy spots for resting. I maintain each dog's specific feeding and medication schedule to ensure their routine remains as consistent as possible

Payton is amazing! We had such a seamless experience! She stayed in our home, sent tons of updates and photos, which made us feel so at ease! She took incredible care and I could tell they had a wonderful time with her! We came home to a happy & tired out pup, fresh sheets on the bed/laundry done, and the house exactly how we left it! You can tell she truly cares, is extremely professional and reliable! We will absolutely be booking her again—highly recommend!

Kristin was great! My animals loved her and she sent pics after every visit. When I returned home my kitten became ill (to no fault of Kristin’s) and she was awesome in letting me know what his behavior was on the last visit and then helping me figure out what could be bothering him - return urinary pair. She even provided a vet recommendation since she knew we were newer to the area. I will definitely use her again!’

Jace was fantastic! She did 2 short visits before our trip to get to know our 3 kitties, including one that was still in the integration process. One of our cats has a special diet as well. She was very responsive and sent my wife plenty of photos and videos. We can tell our cats liked her and we will book her for our upcoming out-of-town time when we go to a wedding. She went above and beyond and because of her study situation online, she was able to be at our home about 18-20 hours per day, which replicates our schedule working almost entirely from home. If you think to book her, do it. You will not regret your decision.

We've used Barbara for drop in visits for over a year now and adore her but this past week we had her housesit for the first time. We came back after 10 days to a clean home and happy (fat!) cats! She provided us with photos every day and stories about what was going on back home. What a relief to just be able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our furkids were safe and loved.
