About: Hi! I’m Lisha, and my brother Xavier and I are a caring, reliable brother-and-sister pet-sitting team. I’ve been working with animals since I was 17, starting in doggy daycares, and I’ve loved every minute of it. My passion is providing pets with the same love and attention they get at home. Xavier is 13 and has a gentle, nurturing spirit that animals naturally respond to. He’s incredibly patient, kind, and always puts pets first. Together, we make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! We are located in temple terrace We are available most of the time and will provide highly quality care for the safety and care of the pet. We try to have a schedule where dogs are taken out every 2-3 hours or as needed. We live in a 3 bedroom apartment with an extra room dedicated to extra space for pets. We also have a doggy playground in the apartment complex with lots of space to run around.

About: I’m a 27 years old midwife with a lifelong love for animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I cared for my beloved cat through 10 wonderful years, including her final battle with lymphoma, dedicating myself to ensuring her comfort and happiness, even through chemotherapy. I recently moved from Hungary to Tampa with my husband and now I’m channeling my nurturing nature into caring for other pets while I wait to begin my studies as a Sonographer in next September. I’ve trained my two dogs to perform fun tricks and maintain good behavior, and I have experience house-sitting and boarding pets for friends, offering them the same love and care I would for my own. With my flexible schedule and nurturing background, I provide personalized attention to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Pet care fits into my schedule because I have a lot of free time during weekdays, and I’m available until 10PM. Whether it’s taking dogs for walks, playing, or just keeping them company, I can provide the care they need while their owners are away. Since I can’t bring pets into my apartment, I provide care in their own home. I offer services like dog walking, playtime, and companionship, ensuring their routine stays as normal as possible. I also ensure the home is safe and comfortable for them while owners are away, providing updates and peace of mind. Whether it’s feeding, play, or administering any special care, I make sure your pet feels at ease in their own environment.

“Ashlee did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was away! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals—my cats absolutely loved her. It was such a relief knowing they were in such good hands. She also took the time to water my plants, which I really appreciated. Everything was well cared for and I came home to happy pets and a thriving home. I highly recommend Ashlee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I’m a dog mom myself, and I know how important it is to care for them empathetic.I will look out for your fur baby like I care for mine. I can do two visits, and spontaneous ones as well! I can do weekends pretty much free those days and evenings during week days as well. I will be very respectful of your home and read of you have specific instructions for your pets. I know it’s important and many have strict routines.

I know how much love and attention a pup requires and I love everyone’s animals like they are my own! I am currently taking classes online so my schedule is pretty free. I will always add if I have a day that requires more attention to my schooling before booking. I am available week days and we can always work something out!! In a clients home, I can take the animals out on walks with a leash, let the animals out in the backyard with a leash or let the animal out in a fenced yard.

About: Hi, my name is Khaila (pronounced Kay-luh), and I'm new to the Tampa Bay area, originally from Miami! I'm currently a graduate student at USF. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, from reptiles and fish to bunnies, parrots, cats, ferrets, and, of course, dogs. While I love all animals, dogs hold a special place in my heart! I’m comfortable and experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds. In addition to caring for family and friends' pets over the years, I’ve also worked through platforms like TrustedHousesitters and Wag for the last 8 years, where I’ve been trusted to provide dependable, loving care in both home and walking settings. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or an overnight stay, I treat every pet like they’re my own! As a grad student, I’m home often and work remotely, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. Also, my availability is pretty flexible, which means I can easily accommodate daily walks, drop-in visits, or even extended stays depending on your needs. I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency! I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care. I like to take time to build trust with your pet first, especially if they’re shy or anxious, and I pay close attention to their body language and energy. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep everything tidy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so they feel reassured.

“Alexis was great! She came to do a dropin for my dog last minute. She went above and beyond taking care of her. Thank you so much! I will definitely book with her in the future!”
