About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have taken care of multiple pets for friends, neighbors, and family members, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. In addition to pet care, I previously worked in childcare with RCMA, where I learned strong responsibility, supervision, and safety skills. My background in customer service has also helped me develop great communication and reliability when working with families. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about providing loving care for pets so owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. I’m currently doing online school so I would plan my schedule to allow time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m organized and dependable, which helps me maintain a routine that keeps pets happy, active, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and make sure pets have plenty of attention and supervision. I always keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable while respecting the owner’s home and instructions. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure so pets stay safe at all times. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱

“Drue was terrific! She arrived when scheduled, spoiled our boys with treats and outside time, and sent pictures with her report card for the boys. We will surely be using her services again in the future!”

About: I’ve raised Pugs to Jack Russell’s to Samoyeds. I’ve cared for many dogs from rescues to seniors. My sweet pug Ana was in a wheelchair for the last few years of her life. I’m currently retired and available to assist pet owners in the Sun City area with pet sitting and walking needs. I have a Jack Russell that is full of energy that loves to play with others and go on walks. My dog is an indoor/outdoor dog that loves hanging out on the lanai, playing ball and long walks. He gets along great with dogs and cats alike.

“Mihaela was great! She pampered my two girls all weekend. She really cares about the pets she watches. I had peace of mind knowing she was my pet sitter.”

About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and exotics for many years. Well versed in pet care for any breed and kind of animal. Big fan and friend of all pets alike. I am currently an online college student, so I have plenty of time to play and care for your furry family members, with extra love! I have a very friendly but shy chihuahua who would be separated from your furry friend in my home. I can uphold any rules you may follow in your own home for your pets as need be.

“We are very pleased with Karen and her pup sitting at our home, for our two Yorkie pups, Daisy and Snickers, she did an amazing job, and also went out of her way to water my wife’s plants, get our mail, take in our garbage pails from the street, and provide us with many photos and updates, we came home to two very happy and well taken care of pups most of all, we would definitely have Karen pup sit in our home again and recommend her to anyone, Thank You!”

About: I used to work in dog grooming and doggy daycare/pet boarding. I love working with dogs and cats. I have two miniature poodles of my own. I am used to working with all breeds, ages and temperaments of dogs. I am loving and have a calm presence. I have been trained on dog behavior and how to handle many different scenarios that might come into play. I am also able to do dog first aide if needed. After years of working for other people taking care of dogs, I have decided to work for myself. I have four children and so being able to have a more flexible schedule, really works well for me. I am available 7 days a week! I would love to be your go-to pet sitter :) I do not care for pets in my home, but I am happy to come to your home on your schedule and care for your pets, with your indidual needs and preferences being met. I am able to care for any pet you may have, whether it be a bird, hamster etc. I love all animals.

About: I’ve taken care of my dog of 6 years since we got him as a puppy. I trained him to potty, do tricks, and play. I walk him 2-3 times a day and take him to the dog park, dog beach, and other dog social settings. I’ve also taken care of other dogs for multiple days. I work part-time during the weekends so my availability is during the weekdays! I am also a full time college student studying Biomedical Sciences but I’m fully online during the summer. I’m very playful with pets but I always make sure to put their safety first. I also always follow special instructions for each unique pet!

About: Among friends, family, and colleagues, I’ve been the go-to house and pet sitter for over 8 years — and now I’m finally expanding beyond word of mouth! I grew up partially on a farm and have spent my life around animals of all kinds, which has given me hands-on experience caring for everything from horses, dogs, and newborn kittens to zebras, reptiles, and goats. I’m comfortable with pets of different temperaments, ages, and energy levels, including senior pets and animals that need extra patience or routine-focused care. In my free time, I volunteer at an animal sanctuary in Myakka and work with horses through equine therapy programs and trail riding outfits. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for them while their owners are away. Let me help you help me! My biggest priority is respecting both your pet’s routine and your home. I aim to keep things feeling as easy and comfortable as possible for everyone involved. I work a consistent 9–5 schedule in-office Wednesday through Friday, and outside of that I freelance, which gives me a flexible schedule and a lot of control over my availability. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week, and I’m very used to planning my schedule around pet routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and quality time. I believe pets (and their humans!) are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible, so I make it a priority to understand the unique rhythm of your home and your pet’s daily life. Every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I adapt my care accordingly — whether that means long walks, playtime, medication administration, maintaining training routines, or simply providing calm companionship and consistency. In clients’ homes, I’m highly respectful of the space and live by a “leave no trace” mindset. I understand the level of trust involved in welcoming someone into both your home and your pet’s life, so communication, reliability, and attentiveness are extremely important to me. It's also always a priority of mine to send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed and connected while you’re away!

“Irene got along great iwht my dog Luna and attended to every need. She did a good job keeping me informed while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a great person to take care of their dog.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.

About: I did house sitting quite a bit after college through and recently got back into it — I have been house sitting recently through a different platform in the St. Pete/Tampa area and love it! (You can see some reviews from that platform in my gallery images). I grew up with German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy dogs that need real exercise. Beyond dogs, I’ve cared for cats and older dogs as well, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different needs and energy levels. I also ran a pet sitting business in middle and high school, looking after neighbors’ dogs, cats and homes while they were away — it’s always been something I genuinely enjoyed. I’m very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it! I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to keep pets company throughout. I actually love dog walks as a reason to step away from the computer — it works out well for both of us. I’m doing in-home sitting, I treat your home with a lot of care. I’m very tidy and will leave everything exactly as I found it. I send regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going.

About: I grew up with a variety of pets. As a kid we had cows, horses, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, as well as many more. I am in school working on my prerequisites for a Veterinary Sciences degree, so you can be sure that your best friend will be in the best care available!😁 I work full time from around 9am-5pm and can work outside of those hours, I wake up around 5am every day so I can be with your pet early and late. I am available for overnight appointments as well. Generally for pet sitting, before I go to work I’ll feed your animals, take them on a walk and prepare for when I’m gone, when I get off work around 2-3pm, I’ll come back and take them out for a run or play with them, and stay with them for a while for some cuddles or just for company. For drop ins I can do 3 per day, one at around 5am, one at 3pm, and one at 9pm. For walks my schedules the same. I have a blue Doberman and Shepard/Cane Corso mix so I can be comfortable around every breed no problem. I love hanging out with animals and having some playtime or going on runs with them. If they aren’t that social I can still let them outside and just be there as company for them while I do my schoolwork.
