“This is the second time we've had Tracee watch Max for us. He really has fun staying with her, and she really seems to love having him. We've had others watch Max and it always seems that he has an "adjustment period" after he's home before he acts like his old self - and both times that he's stayed with Tracee he's come home with no "readjustment" time at all. To me that says he had a really good stay. We will use Tracee whenever we can.”
“Katherine and Chris were so accommodating to take Nino in after a last minute cancellation. The photos made me feel relieved that he was enjoying his stay. Thanks again”
“Lindsay and her family have once again taken incredible care of our Jimi. Not often does a pet not want to leave their sitter but that’s the case every time Jimi stays with them which shows us how happy he is being there. Great communication, frequent updates with photos and they keep our boy happy. Thank you!”
“We are so appreciative of the care and affection that Janel & Jeffrey showed to our dog. We would recommend them to anyone and will definitely reach out to them next time our baby needs someone to look after him. Thank you!!”
“Our fur baby felt right at home with Stephanie! He was treated like a king and was happy and relaxed while away from home. The daily updates and pics gave us peace of mind. We've already booked our next stay!”
“Joanna took excellent care of our pet and treated her with so much love and attention. She kept us updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. Communication was excellent throughout—regular updates, photos, and quick responses gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog had a great time with their dogs and got along so well. It’s such a relief to find someone who treats your pet like their own. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Janet is a wonderful pet sitter! She kept us informed with pictures and videos nearly everyday of our dog’s happy adventures and play with the other dogs. He came back to us in really good shape with no signs of stress and went right back to our routine when we picked him up. We will definitely return our dog to Janet’s care during our next trip away.”
“Ashley is seriously the best. Her dogs are amazing and so sweet, our 1 year old Husky really enjoyed his time with her and her dogs. She provided us with the best updates and pictures, and it was not hard to tell that she truly loves animals and made our pup feel just at home. We recommend Ashley to anyone that wants the best for their pup, it’s definitely going to feel like a vacation for them. She is also very good at controlling interactions that could possibly escalate and handles it with a very calm yet assertive manner. If you would appreciate someone to watch your pup that will love him/her just as much as you do, and for them to be able to play with other sweet pups, Ashley is the one for you.”
“Katie was amazing! Barley had such a fun time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and how he was adjusting and acting. I'll definitely be booking again the next time I'm in the area!”
“Chandler was fantastic the entire stay for my pups! Sent pictures & video updates during their stay and was so communicative. Rebooked with him the same day I picked them up!”

“Jennifer was excellent with my dogs. She sent me pictures twice a day and was very loving to Beni and Sasha. I will definitely use her again. If you want a loving and caring environment for your babies then I highly recommend Jennifer.”
“Clary did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She sent me photos and videos everyday and was quick to respond to any of my questions. I’ll be sure to use Clary for any future boarding needs.”
“My dogs LOVED staying here. Laura treats them like her own dogs. She sent pictures every day. My dogs were smiling (one of them is a lab, so yes, they smile lol) and having the time of their lives. Thank you. We will definitely book her again for future trips ?”

“Ashley has been coming to our place to take care of our kitties for a while now, and we love using her! I never have to question if she’s showing up. She is also able to give my older kitty her medication. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Was absolutely amazing with my kitty cats they fell in love with her the minute she walked through the door. She made sure the water was full, and the litter box was clean each and every time she was there. Will use her again and again.”
“I can’t stress enough how amazing Nelson and Donna are! The reviews helped me select them to take care of our four cats, it was difficult to leave our furry babies behind to go on vacation. Nelson and Donna took such good care of them, sending me updates and pictures, putting our minds at rest. I will definitely rebook them again.”
“Andrea did a great job checking in on our kitties while we were away! She gave lots of updates on how they were doing and followed all instructions that I provided. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Stephanie is the best sitter I’ve had the pleasure of hiring. She is timely and responsive and spent extra time each day with my 2 cats. I will definitely rebook and highly recommend her!”
“Kayleigh is an awesome pet sitter! She takes the time to give your pets attention and takes care of their daily needs. She is an excellent communicator. We also had to extend our time away by a day. She was very flexible and accommodating. Our kitties loved her! We will book Kayleigh again!”
“Osvaldo did a great job with my cats. They warmed up to him throughout the week and everything was taken care of while I was gone to my expectations. I will be booking him again. Thank you!”
“This was an excellent experience Katherine was on time every day and Oliver was well taken care of. All drop in visits lasted the full half an hour. I highly recommend Katherine she was amazing.”
“We love Janicia! It gives us such peace of mind knowing our cats are in such good and caring hands while we’re away. She truly makes them feel safe, loved, and well cared for—we’re so grateful for her!”
“AWESOME service. She quickly responded to a last min request during a family emergency and went above and beyond with her sense of urgency, puppy scratches, and communication. Will definitely reach back out.”
About: I've had cats my entire life, and currently have four cats ranging from 3 years old to 8 years old, the oldest of which we adopted six years ago and has various medical issues. I also have fostered kittens through my local shelter from 1 day old until age of adoption.
“Lydia is a fantastic cat sitter. Our cats are still building trust with us and she spend a few extra minutes each visit working on building her own trust. By the end of her care, both of our girls were coming out to see her eagerly, playing with her, and even getting pets. Lydia went above and beyond even by taking in packages, vacuuming up litter, and watering our plants. Highly recommend her!”
“Our cat babies LOVE Samantha! The couple of times we’ve had to travel she’s done a great job at caring for them during in-house visits! Our boy Oliver is extremely anxious and avoids interaction altogether (not even friends and family get his cuddles!) - however, he is comfortable with Samantha and that speaks volumes on her ability to connect with our animals ❤️. Highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and many dogs, helped care for weeks old puppies and have gained the trust of my neighbors growing up as well, Maltese's, chihuahua, British bulldog, golden retriever, German Shepard to name a few, I currently own a beautiful tabby cat myself :)

“Our dog was so comfortable and happy with Briana and her family! Our dog Luka has anxiety being away from us but they made her feel very loved and safe that it was no problem at all.

“Nadia was fantastic with Miles on his first visit and very flexible with pick up time which we appreciate!He enjoyed playing with her pups Hazel and Cora and will definitely be back for more fun!”
“Lisa and Scott were so warm and friendly. Really put this nervous dog mom at ease. I haven’t left my fur baby with anyone but a close friend and he doesn’t like many people but he seemed to settle in and snuggle before too long. I was nervous with him around bigger dogs but their two pups are giving him space to adjust. Thanks for taking such good care of my Rocky.”
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and first time with River. She made the experience exceptionally pleasing. She’s a gem.”
“This was our first time using Katie. We used her 3 days in a row and we were very pleased. More importantly our dogs loved going to her place and came home exhausted each day. Katie was quick to respond and sent us many pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend her!!! We will be a repeat customer.”
“Clary and her girls did a very nice job per sitting our beloved Billy. She was very kind and communicative- even sent pictures to show that he was having a good time, She loves dogs and takes good care of them!”
“Hands down the best experience we have ever had with a sitter! Our old girl dealing with separation anxiety had the time of her life! I would highly recommend frank and Lou!”
“Excellent!! Janet was terrific in communicating and helping me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby. I truly appreciate her watching my little Mia. I look forward to Mia staying with her more often. Thank you Janet!!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was younger. We've had quite a few different types of animals from bunnies and hamsters to cats and dogs. It fits easily into my routine because I'm home all the time. I don't go anywhere really and I have plenty of free time to spare. I have a fenced in back yard, I have a big house with plenty of room for them, and I have a few other animals that are friendly.
“This is the 3rd time I have left Suki with Mai. She has a great time playing with Fogi and is always extremely tuckered out when I pick her up. Mai is great and shows a lot of affection to Suki and I will continue to use Mai every chance I get in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I learned how to properly handle animals, recognize signs of illness, and provide safe, attentive care. I’m comfortable with a variety of pets and understand how important it is to follow routines and keep them stress-free. I’ve also been a lifelong pet owner. I cared for my teacup Chihuahua for 17 years, which gave me extensive experience with senior dog care, including patience, gentle handling, and understanding changing needs as pets age. I also have experience caring for cats, including multi-pet households, and currently have a cat of my own. Because of my background, I’m especially attentive, reliable, and tuned in to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a shy cat, or a senior pet needing extra care, I treat every animal like my own. I feed my kitty wet food every morning from times ranging 7-10 am and 6-10 pm dinner. I have hard food for randomly throughout the day and provide treats when I have it. I would respect whatever schedule the client is wanting since I am always home being a stay at home mother to an almost 2 year old baby girl. I have a fenced backyard, a crate if necessary, and areas they can be in the house. I am a reliable caregiver and will do what’s necessary for your pets.
“AJ has been wonderful with our dog Josie! He has been so patient and kind with her and let her go at her own pace. She has had several visits and is getting more comfortable each time. AJ, Trish, and Goose are tremendous hosts. AJ is the bomb! I strongly recommend him and his family for doggie daycare.”
About: I’ve had dogs, and cats all my life. My first word was my cats name! My goal is to one day become a dog trainer. I am a stay at home wife taking care of our 2 dogs. I am able to walk and play all day! I’m open to work with any animal’s schedule. I live in a home with a large backyard where I love to play fetch with my dogs. I still like to take my dogs out for walks and would be happy to bring yours along. Whether I’m boarding or walking a dog, I love to make them feel they are one of my own with lots of love and affection.
“Larry and Renee have taken great care of my senior female who just lost her bonded brother. They are very sweet and affectionate, and so understanding of her grief and needs.”

About: I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, I am very active with the dogs. I have 3 years dogs training experience. If you struggle with a fussy high energy dog, or just want your pet to follow basic commands, I'm the sitter/ walker for you! I'm available full time 24/7. I do not require much notice. I'm very flexible with different schedules. I try my best to accommodate dog parents and dog needs. I live on a large 2 acre farm with my husky plenty of room for running. I also take the dogs (with permission) to a large near by open space dog park.
“They were incredibly kind and wonderful with our Golden Retriever! They always make sure he gets plenty of exercise with walks that leave him happily tired, and he absolutely adores spending time with them. We’ve booked with them multiple times and always feel confident knowing our pup is in such great hands.”
About: I've pet and house sat for cats and dogs of many breeds and sizes. Mostly for family and friends and I treat them like the beloved family members they are! Many times they have multiple dogs and or cats which is fine by me, love them all. I have been the lucky pet mama of many dogs, a few cats, birds, guinea pig and hamsters. They all were very dear to me and my family. Right now I'm retired and unfortunately my sweet old beagle-mix girl Leela, past away this past fall. I miss her dearly and the routine of walking her in her stroller because in her last year she lost mobility in her hind legs. I know I will eventually adopt another, but right now just enjoying her sweet memories 😊 ♥️ A typical day would start with outside time to do their business and get some exercise, followed by their breakfast and meds/ supplements if so needed. Then we relax a bit until afternoon walking, weather permitting, and playtime. Then relax until dinner and another walk/some playtime before retiring for the night. This of course varies with the pet's routines and needs each day. This is basically what we did with our dogs, and the cats were indoor/outdoor.
About: I have a heart for animals. We travel so I never wanted to get a dog, but I would love to spend time with yours! https://www.rover.com/sit/tonim13904 I am looking for a new career that I would love. Flexible schedule! Available weekends and most holidays! I won't just check in/walk your animal. I will make sure they get attention and feel loved 🥰 I will respect the owners rules when it comes to treats (or anything else). I grew up with the "leave things better than you found them" mentality.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from young adult to senior age. I rescued a feral kitty with major injuries, worked with Tampa Bay Humane Society to take care of her health concerns, and officially adopted her in 2024. I have experience with caring for pets with seizures, needing diaper changes, having specific dietary needs, and more. I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed
About: I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid, I grew up on a horse farm in north carolina and when I moved here I worked in a grooming salon, just bathing. I'm always free on weekends, I am available after 6 during the week, I do work full-time but im open to working with you on the type of assistance you need :) I have a fenced in yard and two little dogs to keep your lil baby entertained, I can keep my pets separate if necessary as well
About: Hi! My name is Nikki, and I have over 25 years in the animal care field. I have worked with everything from domestics to exotics. I am a Veterinary technician, and a licensed wildlife rehabber who serves on the board of directors for central Florida's largest rescue. I love all animals and have extensive references. I'd love to help you with yours. I am pivoting from the veterinary field to Petsitting full time. I have a mostly flexible schedule at this time, and work weekends and holidays. All clients get personalized care depending on their pets needs and preferences, with daily updates and photos if they like. Sit down consults ensure I know exactly what you're looking for.
About: I grew up with family pets around, making me comfortable around all kinds of animals. I began to experience a deep passion for animals and pets, so much so that I got a seasonal job at a pet boarding facility called Pet Paradise. There I was around different dogs and cats all day. Since then, I have been volunteering at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, walking dogs and hanging out with the cats. I even participated in the Doggie Day Out program at the shelter! I’m pretty much open any day or time! I currently am unemployed and not in school, so I can work on the fly! Very flexible schedule, ready to work for your fur babies! I currently have a dog in the household that can not be around other dogs, but I am more than happy to treat your animal in your own home! I help take care of the dog here by walking and feeding him, I also do the same for the two cats we own!
About: I love animals ever since I was young age, especially how difference their personalities are! They have their own needs and wants which something I’m willing to learn no matter the size. Just give me the routine and I’ll follow it with no problems, they’ll be loved and cared for while you’re away! I volunteered in one rescue back in my hometown while growing up so preparing special food, walking/exercising, giving treats (especially to the good boys/girls!) are on my list! I also have basic grooming experience so brushing, basic teeth cleaning, cutting nails, cleaning face are on my list of experiences! I’m also not afraid to get down dirty when needing to bath a dirty dog! I currently work from home and I want to go out of the house and do something productive! What’s more than doing it with fluffy animals! I’m able to go outside more without needing to spend money so I thought might as well combine my love animals and going outside. It’s a win-win since I can take care of your babies while you’re busy and I can be outside of my house!! I currently live in a gated community, we have our own little dog park within the community. I also live in a 3 story apartment so if your cats end staying for the night they’ll have penalty if not more space to have their night zoomies!
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 am a retired dog and cat groomer as of recent. I have worked in vet offices and have vast experience in a professional setting as well as personal. My love for animals is immeasurable. I am a retired dog and cat groomer as of recent. I am very flexible with my schedule at this time. I am sure I can accommodate. While I don't currently care for any animals but my own, I would leave it up to the owner what they prefer and deem safe.

“Five-Star Review for Gio and Natalia – Simply the Best! We cannot express enough gratitude for the extraordinary care Gio and Natalia provided for our beloved dogs, Espresso and Zoomie. From the very first day to the moment we picked them up, every detail of their stay reflected the highest level of professionalism, cleanliness, and—most importantly—genuine love. The daily videos and photos were sublime and became our day's highlights. Espresso and Zoomie always looked joyful, playful, and entirely at ease. Knowing they were not just being watched but truly cared for gave us tremendous peace of mind. Your facility is the cleanest, most organized, and most pet-centered we've ever encountered. It radiated warmth and calm, and it was clear that every animal in your care was treated like family. When we picked up the dogs, they showed no signs of stress or disorientation—only happiness and excitement. That, in itself, speaks volumes. Gio and Natalia, your passion and dedication are unmatched. We are beyond satisfied—your compassion and professionalism deeply move us. There is no doubt in our minds that we will be returning repeatedly. You've set the gold standard; we wouldn't trust anyone else. With heartfelt thanks, Don, Lana, Jay, & Mary”
About: Lifelong experience with dogs. Growing up I have owned both lab and pitbull type dogs, but that is just my personal ownership. I have cared for puppies and older dogs, and have cared for all my dogs into their senior 14 plus years. Friends and family have used me as their most regular dog sitter for their loved ones. I've ranged in babysitting dogs from a larger size like boxer, lab, pitbull, goldendoodles, to as small as bichon frise, pugs and French bulldogs. I work from home the majority of my days so when I am sitting dogs are always supervised by me and have my full attention. I live near a nature reserve so I enjoy taking pets on long (or short) walks around the neighborhood and we also have a community dog park if you enjoy letting your pets play there. I really just enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes and am honored to be so trusted watching people's loved pets. I currently work from home so I am available to supervise pets full time in my apartment. I typically work from 8-4, but can take frequent breaks for feedings, potty breaks, play time and anything else your pet may need. I do go to the gym in the afternoons, but I am away from home for a max of an hour and the gym is right in front of my community within walking distance if needed to get back home quickly. I am available for weekday and weekend boarding as my schedule does not change often, so your pet will have my full attention while they are at my home. I am surrounded by nature and am also close to several trails if your pet likes longer walks. I live in a pet friendly community and also have access to a community dog park that we can easily visit if you like. Pets are allowed on my furniture and I am a big fan of all snuggles. In my home I have space for 1-2 dogs. I have an open area to place a crate for your dog as well a bed or any other accessories your pet will need. I'm home full time so whatever feeding/walking schedule you have your pets on I will be able to accommodate for them.
“I felt very confident my dogs were in great hands. It was wonderful to know that she also speaks Spanish since that's my dogs main language. She kept me informed of how they were doing.”
“Morgan had a quick response and had great communication from start to finish of our pups care. She updated us while away and sent lots of pictures. Our pups each have their own quirks and Megan was so adaptable and ready to be accommodate them for the skin or emotional needs. We cannot wait to use her service again in the future.”
“We left our 2 Girls with Kelli & family for a week over Christmas. They took such great care of them. We received pictures and updates almost daily. Telling us things about our girls that you only know if they are comfortable and feel at home. They loved our 2 boxers and received the love back. Highly recommend them and we will definitely Book again, when we need to travel.”
