Dog Sitting in Tierra Verde

“I had an amazing experience with Amy, and couldn’t be more grateful. We were away for a week and she gave us updates daily with photos to let us know how our fur babies were doing. What really stands out is Amy went above and beyond to let us know of additional tasks that we hadn’t mentioned forgot to mention. Amy really is the best!”

“Lexi is a lifesaver! We needed someone asap and she went above and beyond to help. She instantly became our go-to caregiver for our dog and we feel blessed to have found her. From the start, our dog was so excited to meet her as if he's known her forever. Our dog is very friendly, but every once in a while he meets someone and it's as though he/she is a long lost friend. Lexi is one of these people. A new friend to our Oakley and our family for sure!”

About: Hi! I’ve cared for my family’s, neighbors and friends pets so I’m very good with animals. Rover helps me find side jobs as I work my full time hybrid job in the tech industry. I'm currently available on a part-time basis and can only provide walks or stays over night. I am not available for hosting your pet to my home. My schedule is very flexible and happy to work with your availability. I’m a big time dog/cat person. My focus is on making sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and engaged in their own familiar environment.

About: I have owned and taken care of pets most of my adult life. I have years of experience with both cats and dogs, having no favorites! I currently work full-time but I have time for early morning visits and evening visits. I can make afternoon visits if requested depending on the distance. I am only available at this time for drop-in visits. I will consider overnight visits in your home depending on situation and length of time needed.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I would always walk around my neighborhood and knock on doors asking if they wanted there dogs walked (for free) and for hours I would do this and get tipped so at the end of the day I could walk to the square downtown and get some ice cream with my friends haha. None the less I love animals and love to help people out who need it! Pretty flexible I’m in school and also have a part time job but hours are easy to navigate around! Just message me the times you are looking for! I will take care of your animal with the upmost respect and love just as I treat my fur babies at home and make them feel like I’m another play mate!

About: I have worked in the Veterinary industry for over 25 years, building relationships with clients and their pets. I would love to care for your furry loved ones! I'm currently available seven days a week for drop in visits to care and love on them or take your pups for a walk! Flexible schedule. I’m willing and able to adapt to the needs and requests for specific pets and their unique personality types, specific feeding instructions, play, or whatever may be needed.

“I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!”

“Adriana was great with our kitties and our home during her drop-in visits! Would definitely recommend her services.”

About: When i was you we had always had family dogs starting before i was born. I grew up along many dogs i would call family. While growing up with these dogs i learned to care for them while they were young as-well as care for them when they grew old. I am familiar with the happy days of introducing a new family member and playing with a new puppy to the mournful days of saying goodbye to a great friend. Beyond caring for my own pets i have cared for elderly beagles who seemingly appear on counters to get food i had left out to playing tug of war with the nicest Rottweiler I can handle it. I am a student home for the summer and this is currently my main form of income so you pet is my number one focus I have a fenced in yard and 2 human and dog friendly golden retrievers our yard is large and is partially wooded. I live in a dead end neighborhood that circles a lake that i often walk my own dogs around and let them swim. There is a small stream in the backyard that my own dogs often lie in to cool off.

About: My combination of professional experience, hands-on knowledge, and genuine lifelong passion for animals sets me apart. I worked at Pet Paradise for four years, where I gained experience caring for a wide range of pets in a structured, high-standard environment. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety protocols, and how to handle pets with different temperaments and needs. I am trained in animal CPR, which allows me to respond quickly and responsibly in emergency situations, providing an extra level of safety and peace of mind. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve spent my entire life caring for pets belonging to friends and neighbors, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique personality. I’m especially patient and attentive, which helps when working with young pets who are still learning boundaries, as well as senior animals who may require a gentler, more understanding approach. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, maintaining routines, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I take pride in providing reliable, compassionate care every time. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be consistently available for the pets in my care. Because I’m home for most of the day, I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship without long gaps. My routine easily adapts to each pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Being remote also means I can keep a close eye on pets throughout the day, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior animals, or pets that need extra attention or monitoring. Overall, pet care isn’t something I have to squeeze in but it’s something I can prioritize and integrate seamlessly into my day, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care that keeps pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine. During dog walks, I make sure each walk is tailored to the dog’s energy level, age, and personality. Whether it’s an active walk to burn energy or a slower, more relaxed pace for senior dogs, I prioritize safety, proper leash handling, and awareness of the surroundings at all times. I also reinforce good walking habits and make sure your dog gets both physical exercise and mental stimulation. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I take time to engage with each pet so they feel comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” I also monitor behavior and overall well-being, keeping an eye out for anything unusual. I always respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and consistent for both you and your pet.

“Hannah was excellent! She was courteous prompt and very caring with my furkids. Getting eye and ear drops in a cat daily is no easy task, but Hannah’s experience as a vet tech made it a breeze. I will definitely request her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I also have years of experience dog sitting for friends, families, and clients, and when I worked as a nanny, caring for the family dogs was always part of the job too. I have a 3-year-old Golden Retriever who is currently in Colorado until the end of the summer, so I’m very used to the love, patience, and daily care that dogs need. I joke that my dogs are some of the most spoiled and lucky dogs in the world — they get all the love, attention, snuggles, walks, and little luxuries. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, overnight care, giving lots of affection, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and do my best to keep their routine calm, happy, and stress-free. I’m a hairstylist on Tierra Verde, which gives me a flexible enough schedule to make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m happy to stop by midday for potty breaks, feeding, walks, check-ins, and extra love. I always plan to stick as closely as possible to your dog’s regular routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important consistency is, especially when pets are missing their people. I also love long walks in the morning and evening when it’s not too hot, especially here in Florida. I’m mindful of the heat, paws on pavement, hydration, and making sure dogs get movement and enrichment in a safe, comfortable way. My goal is for your dog to feel loved, relaxed, and spoiled while you’re gone. care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. I always make sure dogs have fresh water, safe walks, plenty of potty breaks, and lots of love while their owners are away. I’m very mindful of Florida heat, hot pavement, hydration, and each dog’s individual comfort level. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same care and respect I would want in my own home. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, crate routines, leash rules, and any special quirks or preferences. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, calm, loved, and cared for. I’m happy to send photo updates and check-ins so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in loving hands.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and temperaments. I’ve personally owned and cared for 2 cats and 4 dogs, and I’ve also helped care for friends’ pets over the years. What sets me apart is my experience with training and routine-building. I raised my current dogs—a black lab/mountain cur mix and a pitbull mix—from about 8 weeks old, and they are now fully potty trained, well-socialized, regularly exercised, and able to perform basic commands and tricks. I’m comfortable reinforcing training, maintaining structure, and adapting to each pet’s needs and personality! I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s keeping up with an energetic pup or providing calm, consistent care for more relaxed or older pets! I’m currently a college student and have built a routine that allows me to consistently incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly schedule. I’m used to balancing responsibilities, and I make sure each pet I care for gets reliable attention, exercise, and care without feeling rushed! I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes consistent feeding schedules, regular bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I’m also comfortable reinforcing basic training if requested. I adapt my care based on each pet’s needs, energy level, and personality to ensure they feel safe and well cared for!

“Tiantian is such a dog/animal lover - I felt it and so did my dog Lily! And she was on time and very reliable for our two drop-in visits. If you live in or are visiting the St Pete Beach area, I highly recommend her! She is amazing!”

“Sam did a great job, despite Freddie's shyness. She sent me pictures of him (hiding) every day. I have cameras, so could see her coming and going and trying to lure him out to play. I hope to have her sit again next month.”

About: I’m a certified dog trainer with 4 rescue pups (and a cat) of my own, so a bit of chaos is no stranger to me ;) I’ve made it my life’s mission to give animals the best lives they can, and I understand that their time on Earth with us is limited. I want to make sure that your pet is in the best hands while you’re away and give them the care they deserve❤️ I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10, and before I became a dog trainer, I worked at a kennel, daycare, and boarding facility. In fact- I’m going to college to study animal behavior now in Saint Petersburg, FL! Your four-legged child is my top priority, and I’m very flexible to meet their needs because every animal is different! I work as a part time dog trainer, and I am currently going to college to study animal behavior and psychology. I have two dogs, three cats, and two bunnies of my own, so it's safe to say I am more than equipped to handle anything at this point!! Animals are my entire world, and my dream is to open my own rescue one day. I'd love to help your fur babies while you're away to make them feel comfortable and loved:) I recognize that every animal is different, so I want to work with you to make sure your pet is getting the care best suited for them. I have worked with dogs of all backgrounds, and understand that needs are different for everyone. I will make sure they are being cared for in the most appropriate way for them, and will communicate with you to make sure their needs (and yours) are met!

“Absolutely fantastic! I loved having her, she took unbelievable care of little Odie and big brother Luigi 💕😭 10/10! Thank you so so much Erica!”
