“I cannot express how pleased I am with Natalie and her family. She welcomed my two fur babies into their home and treated them as their own. My little girls were so well taken care of and treated as part of the family. She also is great at communication and sent me lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend Natalie and her family to watch your fur babies.”
“Amy was great! Our little fur baby loved her stay there. She and her husband were very welcoming, and they sent us lots of pictures and updates. I would recommend them!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care Katherine and her family provided to our 10 year old goldendoodle! We loved the daily updates and photos and could rest easy knowing he was in good hands.”
“Connie was very responsive and flexible about boarding Mindy while we were vacationing in Florida. Though I had never met her, I was very comfortable leaving Mindy. When I dropped my dog off, she asked a few questions and showed me the area where Mindy would have to play and hang out with the other little dogs in her home. I was very pleased and would contact her again if we are in the area.”
“Ania was amazing watching our pup, Tater, over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was so flexible with meet and greet schedules, pick-up and drop-off and quickly eased our anxieties about finding a sitter. She provided so many cute photos and thorough updates every day and made us feel like Tater was part of her family. She treated him like one of her own pets and spoiled him with the cuddles and attention he demands lol. Tater got along well with her two small dogs and her home is so cozy - so many spots for Tater to snuggle up and nap. Do not hesitate to book with Ania if you need a dog sitter!”

My pup also got a little sick during his stay and Sydney went out of her way to change up his diet and provide constant updates. Your pet is in safe hands with Sydney! Would definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Elena and her father did an amazing job taking care of my pup! It was my first time being away from home for a long period of time and I looked forward to seeing the wonderful updates every day! My friends and family were excited to see Kobe’s daily updates and goofy pics as well. It was very heartwarming to know my dog was well taken care of and made new human friends as well as a furry friend, their dog Coco! :) would love to be able to reunite Kobe and Elena in the future as well <3”
“Andressa was such a great dog sitter! I just moved to Tampa, and I am so glad I found her to watch my dogs!

She brought my dog on many walks, to the dog parks, fed her well and I could tell Penny was very happy. Thanks so much!”

“Shonta was a great sitter that met exactly the criteria we were looking for! She kept us updated, took all of our needs and preferences into consideration, was reasonably priced, extremely friendly & reassuring, and my dogs came back home with exactly the air of confidence I would hope for when they've spent time away from home. They seemed instantly comfortable with Shonta which is so, so important when trusting someone else with your babies. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

“Sherri exceeded my expectations and made me feel so comfortable that my cats were cared for during my couple weeks away from home. I never worried and had consistent updates with photos. She also brought toys for them which they LOVED and even watered my plant. I am so happy I trusted Sherri with my cats and will absolutely rebook with her in a heartbeat.”
“Amanda is a gem! She cared for my two cats while I was away for ten days and she was incredible. She sent multiple photos of both cats and sweet, playful videos. Amanda was flexible both times my plans changed while I was away (I can’t say thank you enough). I hope to book her in the future. I’m so grateful to have met her!”
“Stacey did an amazing job taking care of our kitty for the week. Her daily messages “written” by our cat were something I looked forward to every day. She sent a ton of photos every day and through this correspondence and our meet and greet, we felt at ease with her watching our cat. And most importantly our cat seemed to really enjoy her! Definitely would book again. Thanks Stacey :)”

“Claudia has cared for Milo at least five times now, and every experience has been outstanding. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands whenever I’m away. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely treats Milo like he’s part of her own family. She always pays attention to the little details, keeps me updated, and makes sure he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The moment Milo sees Claudia, his tail starts wagging and he gets so excited—that says everything about the bond they’ve built. I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you, Claudia, for always taking such incredible care of my sweet boy. I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet as if it were their own!”
“As always, Cristina was awesome! She took great care of our babes and gave them lots of attention while we were away. Great communication and service. She’s a star!”
About: Hi! I also enjoy caring for cats and making sure they feel calm and comfortable in their own home. I understand that cats need patience, gentle care and a quiet environment. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box and time to play or relax depending on their personality. I also send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed knowing your cat is safe and well cared for.
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
“Cheryl was a fantastic sitter for our cat, Simbita. He can be quite particular about taking his pill, but she patiently found a way that worked for him—something we truly appreciated. She was always friendly, punctual, and clearly cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. Highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, with over 25 years of experience handling everything from dogs and cats to birds and small pets.

Doggy daycare at our home and drop-in visits or walks in your neighborhood are available Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. We offer a spacious, single-story, step-free home tailored for senior pets and dogs with mobility needs. Our setup features a fully enclosed deck and pool area opening into a securely fenced yard with natural grass. We provide structured, individual playtime, regular potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and optional supervised pool sessions to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and safe.
About: As a loving and fun dog watcher, I treat every dog as my own. I provide endless cuddles, exciting playtimes, and a safe, joyful environment. I work Monday-Thursday and am free after work each day and all day availability from Thursday evening- Sunday. I do get a week off work every few months. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, so I come to them. I provide consistent feeding, exercise, and companionship, while also keeping your home tidy and secure. You'll get daily photo updates to see how much fun they're having.
About: I've taken care for dogs since I was a child. My truly love for them is unvaluable. They are my angels on the earth. Love each activities with them. I am completely available on weekdays and weekends. I can receive your pets and give them all the attention required as the case may be. My patio area is long and fenced, it meets safety guidelines. I don't have my own pets. I provide your pet with the same guidelines as an owner.
About: Hello, potential new friend, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and training levels. I regularly puppy-sit guide dogs in training and have been educated on the specific standards and routines they must follow. This experience has strengthened my understanding of positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, and responsible pet care. Dogs and pups will always have close supervision, which is why I only like to pup sit two dogs at a time for an intimate sitting experience. I know all the nearby dog-friendly places to go. At night, I love cuddling up with pets. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly. I am ready and prepared to host your puppy. I even have a puppy first aid kit in our house, and our vet is less than a 5 min drive away, just in case. As you can see dogs are my passion and I will care for your pooch with love and kindness. Choose Sully & I Pet Care* for the trusted love and care that you know your dog deserves. *Sully from “Sully & I” has crossed the rainbow bridge I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I am available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can closely follow each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, playtime, medication, and rest routine. I also have availability for daytime, evening, weekend, and some last-minute requests. My home is currently pet-free, so visiting dogs and cats can enjoy a calm environment without having to adjust to resident animals. Pets are welcome on the sofa and are encouraged to relax and make themselves comfortable. I provide close supervision, keep doors and entryways secure, and carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medication, sleeping arrangements, and household rules. I also prefer to care for a limited number of pets at a time so each one receives plenty of individual attention.
“Upon meeting Andressa and Alex, they were both very welcoming during our meet and greet. My dogs were completely comfortable at their house. Andressa sent me a ton of photos of my dogs during their stay and always messaged me back quickly. The pups seemed happy and content after pickup. We will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you again!!”
“One of our best rover experiences yet for our girl Charlotte! We appreciated the time and attention Salta took with Charlotte. Great communication and thorough check before dog sitting with we really appreciated. We will definitely book her again when in the Tampa area.”

“They were so accommodating and took excellent care of our puppy while we hit the theme park all day. It was so easy and close by that I would give them 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend them to anyone!!”
About: Your pet will be treated like family in my home. I spend quality time playing, cuddling, and giving each guest plenty of personal attention and affection. For comfort and security, your pet’s bed will be placed in my bedroom at the foot of my bed — and if they’re used to extra snuggles, they’re welcome to sleep in my king-sized bed. As an experienced professional pet sitter, I’m prepared to handle unexpected situations while you’re away, whether it’s a power outage, an illness, or any other emergency requiring calm, responsible care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and loved. For the comfort and safety of all guests, I only accept dogs 15 pounds and under. I'm also a health insurance broker who works part-time from home. I have doggie beds in the office and in my bedroom. I have an 11-year-old Yorkie and a 14-year-old Malti-poo. After we get up, they do their "business" and eat. Then we walk. After that, everyone gets a snack, then everyone takes a nap! My home is "pet-proof, so your pet has free rein of a lot of the house. I put down puppy papers in case it's raining. If your pet is older, we will walk around the property. Otherwise, we will go on leisurely walks. I have tall vinyl fences around the perimeter of my backyard. When we do go outside, I NEVER leave a pet out of my sight. I have six cameras outside the home, and three inside. I am close to all my neighbors, and we look after each other. I prefer a halter on a dog.

About: I am an absolute pet lover! Any time I see a dog, I stop and bond with it. We had a miniature poodle for over 17 years, who I miss daily. I have a special way with animals and shower them with love! I work from home, so I have flexibility! Because I create my own schedule, I can make sure to prioritize a pet’s needs and give them my full attention! I am very devoted to all animals I care for. They have my full attention and become my priority for the time I care for them.
