About: My name is Laura. I know the importance of trusting someone to take care of your babies. I will give them love and care like at home. They bring so much joy and peace to my life. I feel like they are the soul of our home. I hope to have the opportunity to meet and take care of your babies. See you soon. This is a part-time job, I also work at Amazon Flex, so I adjust my work schedule depending on the clients I have during the week! I have a small patio in the back, and you will also have your walkies in the area for as long as you want. I have two dogs that will accompany your babies Luna and Mattias... we hope to have them home soon.

“Dustin had such a good time with Chrissy and her dogs! She sent me a few pictures throughout the day. I definitely recommend her! Chrissy is really nice and welcoming!!”


“Highly recommend Brandon! He was quick to respond and Django said he was really cool to hang out with 😃. Took him for a long walk and sent me a picture of him, too. We will absolutely contact Brandon for future visits.”


About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

“Krystal and her family are amazing, Tommy loved her and her kids and got excited to see her. I would 100% recommend her and I will be contacting her when we come back to visit Tampa!”


“We left our dogs with Sammy while we hiked. We didn’t have cell service most of the trip and she was flexible and accommodating. Our dogs loved playing with hers. We would reach out and book with her again!!”


“absolutely loved having oliver with them! i felt like he was under total supervision, being taken cared of and LOVED! plus they had a dog pool which was a HUGE plus because oliver is an aquatic dog who loves swimming!!! he is so tired now and i am very happy with this stay! will be contacting again!”


“Tyler was SO great. She sent updates throughout the day and was so sweet towards my pup, Ted! He had such a good time with the other pups that were there and he came back happy and TIRED. Thank you Tyler, for being so accommodating and caring. Ted will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”


About: I worked as a Veterinary technician from 2013-2018. Following this, I worked as a Medical Laboratory Technician at a Veterinary Laboratory from 2018-2022. I currently work remotely for the same Veterinary Laboratory Company. I have a ton of knowledge and experience with Animals! I am a full-time employee working remotely, giving me time to spend with your fur babies! I also do not have any pets at home myself. I always make sure to respect pets and pet owners based on their comfort levels and needs. I own my home with a fenced in back yard allowing time for play and potty breaks. I have years of experienced in pet care so I can quickly be pickup on pets’ social ques and behaviors. During walks I am equipped to properly leashed or always harnessed during walks. If needed I am familiar with lifesaving skills in case of emergencies and can administer medications if necessary.

About: I have always loved animals! I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and health conditions. I grew up in a family that was very active with animal rescues and have fostered and found homes for many animals in need. I have a dog and two cats of my own and pet sit for my family and friends regularly. I am home 7 days a week! I only work a couple nights a week, during that time my husband is home so your baby will never be left alone. My husband, Austin and I love doing this together and passing this love for animals onto our kids. Your dog or cat will feel right at home with our family! We have a huge fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and fetch, even a small pool for your dog to cool down in if they wish. We are in a safe, quiet neighborhood with a sidewalk for walks. We have a gate protecting our front door and our kitchen to help us provide a safe environment for your fur babies. We are fully committed to giving you peace of mind while you are away! I do offer an extended stay discount for pets staying 2 weeks or longer, as well as a free bath. I am happy to do meet and greets or phone calls before your pet’s stay.

“Jessica’s the best! I drop my dog off twice a week for 12 hours at a time and he always gets so excited to go. She takes him on trails sometimes, but he’s also just so happy being at her house with her and her dogs. They play a lot! I also love the cute pictures and videos she se sends throughout the day!”


About: This girl. I'm that person at your party that spends the whole night playing with your dog instead of socializing. And while it doesn't win me friends, it makes me a great dog sitter for your pup. I've got two little guys of my own, Chachi and Mac. I love rescues (and really all dogs tbh) and both my husband and I work from home so we spend a lot of time together. I believe that as much as dogs need food, water, and bathroom breaks, they need attention and love, as well. So, that means I'll be making sure your pets meet their maslow's hierarchy of dog needs. And if those needs include a lot of pets, playing, and occasional treats--I'm your man. I work from home and make my own hours so am available to work around your schedule. Please provide as much advance notice as possible and account for proximity when booking. While I have a fenced backyard, it isn't very large. I don't recommend large excitable dogs that need a lot of outdoor space to stay here. Additionally, as stated before, I have two small dogs. All dogs staying my house MUST BE FRIENDLY.

About: I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, from puppy training and obedience to gentle senior care. With experience in administering medication, recognizing pet behavior, and offering engaging activities, I ensure pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for. Reliable, patient, and attentive – I treat every pet like my own. My schedule is flexible, I can work with your time and on weekends I’m free all day. Let me know your schedule and I will do my best to accommodate! I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of affection, while also maintaining a clean and safe environment that aligns with the specific needs of each pet and the preferences of the owner

“Thank you so much Brent & David for taking care of Flaco! Your love and caring for Flaco was exceptional; he was very happy when we picked him up every night.”


About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver and walker!? With me your dog baby will receive attention through dog walks, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. In the past I have traveled in the city with dogs doing activities such as bike riding and long distance walking. The Services I do provide are feeding, exercise walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

About: I work from home with my couch potato senior dog. She requires lots of meds so I have experience giving pills and accommodating special needs. I have an extensive medical background, this comes in handy when caring for dogs with diabetes, caring for wounds, etc. I've taken care of many dogs and some through Rover. I have a fenced in back yard and a doggie door. I work from home and will be able to take your pet out for walks, play with them, and give them all the attention they need! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a doggie door. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and I work from my couch, so your pet won't be alone. I'll walk your dog while being completely vigilant against any threats. I'll treat your pet like my child. I only have one dog at home, non aggressive senior dog, no kids and a fiancé. Smoke free home.

“Alejandro and Mariana were very flexible whenever my work schedule changed and always took great care of Kodi every time they watched him! I would definitely recommend them!”

Brandi M.
“Brandi is a wonderful, caring person who loves animals, especially dogs, like no one else I've ever known. Her medical background is a plus as well, as she knows how to take care of animals in a way most can't and can detect the subtle nuances of sickness in a dog before more noticeable symptoms show themselves. You'll not find a more kind, knowledgeable and responsible person to take care of your furbaby.”
