“Jennifer is incredibly sweet and genuine. I knew right away upon meeting her that she has a compassionate nature and passion for animals. She was able to drop in for me extremely last minute, and even came over late at night to get a meet and greet in the day before taking care of my dog Heidi. She’s great with dogs and cats, and is extremely reliable. She sends the sweetest pictures and updates. I feel so lucky to have found her!”


“Mia did a wonderful job. She was right on time, did everything we asked, and stayed the entire scheduled time. Bashful came out and stayed with her, and enjoyed her company. Shy DB didn't come out but she did apprecicate a clean litter box, dinner on time, and snacks. We would love to book Mia for our next trip!!”


“Jordan did a great job with our kitty! She was very prompt, followed all of the instructions left for Ruthie wonderfully, and did an excellent job communicating. She even sent the cutest pictures of our very pleased cat who was insisting on more pets and cuddles. I was very confident that our cat and home were in good, reliable hands. Jordan was thoughtful, professional, and showed a really kind heart for animals. Will be hiring again!”


“I can’t thank Andrea enough for helping us out last-minute today so we could take our god daughter to LEGOLAND. I reached out the morning of, she responded quickly and she showed up promptly at the scheduled time—despite me forgetting to provide my unit number and not replying quickly. She was incredibly patient and gracious, even looping back after I finally got in touch. She took our dogs out right away, and when we got home, they were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. She’s kind, reliable, and so easy to work with. We’re really grateful and will definitely be reaching out again!”


“Bianca went above and beyond had two trips back to back and one last minute and she said yes without hesitation. Communicative, attentive with my fur baby. Very recommended. I will definitely use her services again.”


“This was our second time booking with Kaylee, and once again she did an excellent job caring for our cat, Kori. She followed our instructions closely and made sure Kori had everything he needed while we were away. We truly appreciate her reliability and care — highly recommended!”


“Danni was absolutely great! She made sure both of our cats had fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of pets, and provided detailed updates for each check in. We would be more than happy to book with her again!”


“Thank you so much Abi! Great service and communication all around. Very patient with my fur baby and everything was perfect. You are amazing and I appreciate you caring for Piggy! Will definitely book again as I already have sent a request! ❤️”


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've been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers for years. I have experience caring for pets during short visits and extended stays, making sure they get plenty of attention, medication if needed, and lots of love. I've cared for everything from energetic puppies to elderly dogs who needed extra patience and medical care. Professionally, I worked at Dogtopia for about a year, where I split my time between being a Canine Coach and a "Rover." I managed playgroups of up to 30 dogs, monitored their health and behavior, administered medication, and handled grooming, cleaning, and meal prep. I was trained to read dog body language, prevent scuffles, and spot early signs of health issues. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own — with care, respect, and lots of love. I am currently working MON - THURS so I am free to do Drop- In visits after I get of work on Thursday till Sunday evening. If a customer just happens to live somewhere enroute to my job, (anywhere between Temple Terrace and Carrollwood) I would be willing to make Drop-In visits throughout the work week before and after work. I am fortunate to have a pretty flexible schedule. Really, my biggest request is that I would like to be safe in the knowledge that your house hasn't had any recent flea infestations and that your pet has also had their most recent round of treatment. Turns our Florida fleas are built different. When I first moved here and was negligent one time it was a nightmare. For me, my pet, and my wallet. Despite putting her on the most powerful flea treatment around I don't want to bring anything back home to my own fur-baby.

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.

“Hillary was fantastic! We will continue to go back to her when we need a sitter for our 2 cats. She is extremely reliable and caring towards us and our girls. Thank you Hillary!!”


“Carley came right on time and followed the directions we had for Peenut. She hung out and played with him for the full time slot and he was safely back in his pen when we arrived home. I REALLY appreciate Carley being available on a holiday!!! Thanks so much for helping us out!!”


“Our family was gone on an extended vacation and we were able to relax and know our dogs and fishies were well taken care of. Amanda was exceptionally contentious by sending pics/videos (without us asking!). We would highly recommend Amanda without reservation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Talia listened to my concerns about my cat. She kept me up to date on how things were going while I was away. She went to great lengths working to build a relationship so visits would be easier for both. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
