Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Tampa-Bayshore Gardens

About: I’m new to Rover, but have been in the petsitting and housesitting business for years now. All of my clients have been word of mouth, and I have a goal to expand my clientele and services. I’ve cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. From tiny lap dogs who think they own the house to giant breeds who actually do. Whether your pet is a couch potato, zoomie champion, professional squirrel watcher, or secretly plotting world domination, I’m here for it. I have experience with animals big and small and know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, dependable, and always ready for belly rubs, playtime, long walks, or just keeping your furry friend company while you’re away. Your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and care, plus updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Warning: your pet may come back spoiled with affection and expecting celebrity-level treatment. I currently have an fairly open availability and a flexible schedule, which means I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, and even last-minute pet care needs whenever possible. Whether your dog needs a walk and playtime, your cat needs a quick check-in and treats, or your pet simply wants someone to exist nearby while they silently judge them, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and very specific demands, so I do my best to stay flexible and work around what keeps them happiest, safest, and most comfortable. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or convinced they are the ruler of the household, I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at their own pace. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, behavioral changes, and making sure your home stays secure and tidy during visits. With experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and quirks. My goal is always to create a calm, low-stress environment where your pets feel safe, loved, and maybe just a little spoiled while you’re away.

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.

“Mariah took great care of my two fur babies. She played with the kitten and was patient and gentle with my older cat…She sent cute pics and updates! She also took in my amazon packages and the trash cans, what a wonderful help!! i highly recommend Mariah!!”

“Wonderful sitter! Shelby helped me in a pinch and it worked out great. I have a “scaredy cat” but Shelby surprisingly lured him out. I left a note and got all my baby’s routines communicated and he made sure to follow them. I will always use Shelby unless he changes because now he’s perfect for my cat.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats in my house since I was a kid. And ever since middle school, pet sitting has been my favorite side hustle. I have cared for cats and dogs, big and small old and young, and those that have had extra dietary/medication needs. I have worked with difficult pets and I’m happy to play and be patient with pets that need extra love and attention. I am currently a medical student and my classes usually run for only half the day. My afternoons and evenings are generally flexible and, and I’m open to coming by in the morning before classes would start or afterwards for a mid day-afternoon visit. I can accommodate whatever needs you and your pet may have depending on your home. I have no problem crating pets if needed. Please don’t hesitate to ask or specify any needs you may have.

“Katie is conscientious, responsible and compassionate. She listens to what your pet requires and flexes appropriately when things change. Our kitty needed human interaction as a priority and Katie made the most of her one hour drop ins. Our kitty was in good spirits, well groomed, and her areas were super clean after over three weeks in Katie’s care. We are grateful to have her and will be booking her again.”
