“We love Mary! Not just us but Toby too. Toby is so happy she arrives because he loves her too! She is so attentive and caring. Our dog needs TLC due to anxiety and taking meds and Mary always takes care of Toby like he is her own. We know Toby is in the best hands when we are away!”

“Larry and Renee were so kind, loving and patient with Luna as she is a puppy. Luna came home happy and very well cared for. Larry and Renee were able to help us out in a pinch and we couldn’t be more thankful for how it worked out!! Wonderful people!”

“Jillian was beyond amazing. We had some schedule changes and she rolled with the punches and was there to look after our home and Dog. She sent photos periodically to let us know he was doing great but also didn’t overwhelm us while we were away. we will definitely be having her back.”

About: I worked at a dog daycare as a Canine Coach and Lead for almost two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and energy levels in a fast-paced environment. I also have over 15 years of personal pet care experience, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. As a USF student with an active lifestyle, I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, playtime, and attention while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means helping energetic puppies burn off energy or giving older dogs a calmer, more relaxed experience. I understand how important trust and communication are when leaving your pet with someone, and I always treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, especially over summer break while I’m home from USF. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy staying active, so dog walking, playtime, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing throughout the week. I do have a few trips planned during the summer, but I always keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings when I know I can fully dedicate my time and attention to each pet. Reliability and communication are very important to me, and I want pet owners to feel confident their dogs are in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while keeping the pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, or any special care needs. I have experience working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels from my time working at a dog daycare, so I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and reading animal behavior. I also believe communication and trust are extremely important, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they’re away.
“Julleyka always does great with our dogs! This last trip we were gone for two weeks and she sent me regular updates and asked questions when needed. She went above and beyond on a few matters and I appreciate her so much! Our pups love her too which is the most important thing :)”
“Doug is such a caring person. He took amazing care of our dog and house for more than a week. Our dog absolutely loved him. Moreover he took care of our plants and fish. He also did a very beautiful sketch of our dog. He is so talented! We are highly recommending him!”


About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.
“Our fur baby Sophia was so spoiled while we were gone. We came home to a clean home and a clean and happy dog. She was very well taken care of. Linda was very communicative with pictures and texts every day. It made us enjoy our trip much more knowing that our fur baby was being spoiled. She really is great with animals. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Emma is an amazing pet sitter! She took care of our one dog and two cats for a weekend and did an excellent job. She was very attentive to their needs and made sure they were well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable. She also kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Emma, for taking such good care of our furry babies!”

“Alexandra was a good communicator, punctual and above all kind and loving with my dogs. She sent lots of updates with photos and left the house clean. I will definitely hope to use her services again.”

About: I have been around and taking care of dogs since I could walk. I love all kinds and sizes of dogs. I will always put your dogs interests ahead of me when I take care of them. Making sure they are let outside, feed, fresh water, loved. Also if you’re interested in a dog lover look no further. If your dog gets dirty or has a mess I’ll clean up. If you need plants watered I’ll take care of it. If you need light cleaning around the house I’ll take care of it(like vacuum only if provided) bring in the mail. If needed to take you dog to their favorite place if able to or if your dog wants to just snuggle on the couch is awesome as well. I like being able to help whenever I can. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I love dogs. If I get into a good routine with your dog all the better. I provide in your home service from walking or if you have a fenced in yard I’ll play with your dog outside. I provide safety by knowing my surroundings and knowing what your dog is capable of.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 and over the years I have gained the hearts of many families and their fur babies. I know how to read animals body language, gain the animals trust Before going to school I will always check up on any animal I am taking care of and after school I will go straight to take care of the animals and let them out. Before bed I will let the animals out to use the bathroom I will follow the list the owners give me and if the owners says I need to sleep at their house I will to make sure their animals are safe and happy. When caring for my animals at home I always makes sure they have fresh water, food and enough love
“McKayla kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Buster, who can be a bit needy, warmed up to her quickly, and Trixie absolutely adored her! It was obvious they were both happy and loved while in her care. We highly recommend McKayla to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. She treated Buster and Trixie like her own, and we’ll definitely be asking her to watch them again in the future!”

Karen was a fantastic sitter for our 2 cats. She is so friendly and kept us updated with pictures throughout her stay. She was always easy to reach, and seemed to really enjoy her time with our cats. Peace of mind is everything when leaving your pets with someone, and that’s exactly what we got with Karen. All around a great experience and will definitely book with Karen again in the future.

Zoe was amazing from the moment I messaged her. She was incredibly responsive and timely. She was thorough in asking questions about care needs and expectations. My pup needed some extra care with an ear infection and a severe fear of thunderstorms. Zoe was amazingly accommodating for every one of her needs going above and beyond. She communicated throughout our whole trip which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our pup. I would highly recommend Zoe, and plan to book her again in the future.

We were fortunate that Alix had availability on short notice to come stay with our pup for a week. Alix stayed at our home & took excellent care of our diabetic senior dog, she was patient with his unique quirks & attentive to all his needs, from injections, to meds, frequent potty times, & even special silly food requests. We have booked her since & are very lucky we will be able to take some more trips in the future feeling at ease knowing she is here.
