About: I've owned two dogs and a cat for the past 17 years. Unfortunately we're a pet free family at the moment so we're eager to fill the void while we take our time to find the right dog to add to our family. We do have a small child who will be at home some days and all nights/weekends, but she loves animals and plays very gently. Making sure you feel comfortable while you're away is something I strive for. I can guarantee a picture and status update at least daily so you can rest assured that your pet is in good hands and is living it up! Last thing to note is that I am active and plan on being active with your pet. If your dog likes/needs walks, I'll make sure they get out and about and have plenty of opportunity to burn off some energy. I work from home and have limited engagements during the day, so the majority of the time I'll be here hanging out with your pet. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I've got a young daughter who may also be around during the day, and will be around in the evenings and on the weekends. We live in a nice walkable neighborhood and I like to get out and walk, so I'll make sure your pet(s) have plenty of exercise and attention.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new, and I was really stressed. But she took great care of him, kept me updated with pictures, and made my last-minute trip so much easier. Thank you!!”
About: Hey, I’m Gabby! I live in a cozy apartment in downtown Tampa with a private fenced park - plenty of space for walks and playtime. I work from home, so I’m around all day to hang out with your pup, give them attention, and keep them company. I recently lost my soul dog, Romeo, and I understand how much your dog means to you. To me, pets are family, and I treat them like my own. Your pup’s safety is my #1 priority, and I’ll provide them with a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I also help out with a local dog rescue in Tampa, so I’m experienced with all types of dogs (puppies to seniors, big to small, low energy to high energy) and can handle meds if needed. I just want your dog to feel at home, whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. I remember when I needed pet sitters in the past I was so nervous and would do all my research to make sure my sitter was safe and experienced. I can ensure you that with me, your pups will be well taken care of, loved, and safe! I work from home, so I can provide around the clock pet care 24/7. Let me know what your pets schedule is like and I will maintain it. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority. All safety measures are taken to provide a safe experience for everyone. This includes complete supervision, proper fitting gear, safe walking routes and other measures to ensure the well being of all.
“We are beyond thrilled with the kind, attentive care Susy gave to Mina over this weekend. She sent us thorough updates and tons of pictures of a very happy cat, which really helped us relax and enjoy our trip. I would 100 percent go to her for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Zach is so nice! My cat mojo loves him and he took good care of my apartment. Traveling is way easier knowing your pet is in good hands and Zach sent me picture and video updates 😊”
