Natalie was amazing with my dog Ralo! He was so happy to see her, and she gave him so much love and attention during their visit. She stayed the full hour, sent plenty of updates, and even took him for a walk. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be booking her again!

About: Grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, exotics, etc. Have been a cat sitter and dog walker for numerous friends and neighbors. Love any opportunity to spend time with dogs since I don’t have one of my own! I work full time in the early mornings Sat-Wednesday. My availability changes frequently but I’m generally available Saturday-Wednesday in the midday until the evening. I like to make sure the pets get plenty of attention and love, along with the necessary care of fresh food, water, a walk/potty and or litter scoop. If a cat/dog is less comfortable with strangers, I give them space!

We had a great experience with Summer! She came to our home for an hour to walk, feed, and spend some playtime with our dog - and everything went perfectly. She arrived on time, followed all our instructions carefully, and most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was in such good hands. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter :-)

Katie took such wonderful care of my cat, Nala! When I first left Nala in her care, she was incredibly shy and hesitant, but Katie's patience and attention really made a difference. By the time I came back, Nala had become so much more affectionate and trusting, which means the world to me. Katie went above and beyond in making sure Nala was comfortable, well-fed, and loved. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Jordan has done an outstanding job caring for our dog. She consistently arrives early for her scheduled visits and often stays longer than planned. I've even noticed my dog sitting by the door, eagerly waiting for her to arrive, which shows just how much he enjoys his time with her.

About: Caring for pets has always been one of my greatest joys. I love spending time with animals, whether it's a leisurely stroll around the block, playing fetch at the park, or giving them plenty of pets/belly rubs at home. Growing up with dogs, and gaining experience with a variety of dogs (&cats!) since then, has made me confident and attentive in providing personalized care. I've also had the pleasure of regularly volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay where I walk, play, and give lots of love to dogs in need. From energetic pups to more relaxed seniors, I've gotten to know the different needs and personalities of many dogs. With me, your pet is guaranteed to be treated like family! I have a flexible schedule and work different hours each day, which allows me to accommodate pets with varying needs. I am able to provide care for your pet before work or during the late afternoons and evenings once I'm off. I also am off on Friday's which gives me extra availability to spend with your pet. I'm happy to work around your pet's needs and adjust to a schedule that works for you. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I ensure a secure environment at all times, whether at home or during walks, and follow any specific instructions you provide for your pet's care. I'm a responsible and trustworthy sitter, and I always treat each pet as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands.

Dorian was beyond Great!! He went above and beyond in his caring for our fur babies, Mr Wilson (basset hound) and Squeaks our cat. All I can say is Dorian exceeded our expectations on every Level! Rover was actually a "Vacation Saver" since our family member backed out of caring for our pets at the last minute. I will book Dorian again and recommend him and Rover to anyone who needs pet care. Book Dorian, you will be so happy you found him!

Theresa was amazing! She came 3 times daily to care for our two small dogs and two cats, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. I was honestly pretty nervous going into this, since we’ve only ever had family in our home to watch our pets. But her calm, reassuring presence immediately put us at ease. She was always on time, communicated clearly, and sent great updates and photos while we were away. We came home to happy, healthy pets, which says it all. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!
