Mariah was absolutely incredible! This was my first time leaving my puppy and she sent so many updates and treated my dog Archer as if he was her own. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner and I will be using her again in the future!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind my whole life, with a special passion for large breeds. Growing up with my own large dogs and walking neighborhood dogs throughout high school and college has given me hands-on experience with all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs — especially the big ones who need plenty of exercise and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk, overnight sitting, or just some quality playtime, I’m committed to keeping your dog happy, safe, and well-cared for. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available every day until 2pm, plus evenings and weekends for boarding, drop-ins, or walks. Whether you need morning playtime, midday check-ins, or full overnight stays, I can work around your schedule to keep your dog happy and well-cared for. I prioritize leash safety and secure handling on every walk. With years of experience, I’m confident walking large and even reactive dogs using proper techniques and equipment to keep everyone safe. Your pup will receive calm, attentive care in a supervised setting. I’m experienced with all sizes and personalities.

Hailey did a superb job of taking care of our six fur babies, ranging from two senior dogs and a 4 month old Great Pryness puppy. My pack instantly loved her. She is very easy to work with, very respectful of property, and kept our house schedule for feedings. I highly recommend Hailey and will definitely higher her again.

About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.

I couldn’t be happier with Kailee and the care my cats, Fiona and Phoebe, received! She was incredibly responsive and responsible, and I truly felt at ease knowing my kittens were in such good hands. Kailee was sweet and caring, took the time to play with them, and sent regular photo updates where you could clearly see how happy and comfortable they were. It was obvious she really connected with them — even my more reserved cat warmed up to her quickly! I will absolutely reach out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and trustworthy cat sitter.

About: I tested myself with my first dog at age 12, now with both sisters starting to become seniors, I have had experience with all age groups of dogs and cats. On top of that I have pet sat many dogs including 7 bull dogs at a time, which required much attention due to their high maintenance nature. I would mainly be doing this in the mornings and afternoons, as I have part time job and a student. But I am open to some weekends. I make sure my dog is walked on a daily basis both day and night making sure she lets everything out before going in, I also stay on top of feeding and taking care of her.

Hope was great and took excellent care of Rocky. She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and made sure he had a great time. Rocky is basically a little trash panda, but she kept a close eye on him and made sure he didn’t get into anything he shouldn’t. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again.

Hope is the best! She house sat in our home for a 3-night stay and it was a fantastic experience working with her. She arrived early, handled our stubborn and blind senior dog with patience, and our home was in perfect condition when we got back into town. On top of all that, there was an unexpected A/C outage during her stay, which she never once complained about and she helped fix!. We are looking forward to working with her again soon.

Alexandra did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our two golden retrievers during our 10-day vacation! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and kept us updated with tons of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent so much time playing with them, keeping them happy, active, and loved. She even asked permission before treating them to pup cups, such a thoughtful and considerate touch! It was clear our dogs were having the best time and were in wonderful hands. We came home to two very happy pups and a stress-free experience. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive house sitter/pet sitter!

We’re so grateful for Logan (William) and his amazing care for our big baby Luthor💖 Logan made time to do a meet up before our short notice booking and Luthor loved him right away. We had complete confidence in Logan’s ability to care for Luthor and our home. He is a professional and extremely competent. Logan sent pictures of Luthor and their time together daily and his communication was outstanding. I was able to totally relax on my trip out of town because I had full confidence Luthor was being well cared for and was totally happy with Logan.
