She is a dog lover - she knows how to cater to each dog's unique personality and make them feel right at home. Our dog was excited to see Maxine when we arrived.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was about for about 7 years for neighbors and friends. I have also walked my elderly neighbor's dog for them when they were unable to. I am currently working full time but I love to go on long walks in my spare time! I enjoy being outside and meeting new fur babies. Depending on how you request, I could meet you at your front door or come into your home to retrieve your fur baby to take them on a walk. I do understand that living in Florida where is mostly hot and humid and some dogs cannot handle the heat or become exhausted easily. However long you request to have your dog walked I will bring a water bowl for your pet to stay hydrated. :) I am currently working full time but I am trying to open up my schedule more by the end of summer. But I am currently available on the weekends and some days during the week. I can be flexible to just message me and I will let you know! Walking your dog around your neighborhood where your fur baby is familiar is important to me! I will make sure your fur baby has plenty of water and time to enjoy themselves on our walk. For drop ins I will sit with your baby as long as is needed. Making sure they get cuddles, stimulation, meds, and just some human time.
“Cynthia was great! I was stressed trying to book someone last minute to check in on my cats over Thanksgiving and she responded right away. Very responsive and sent me lots of videos and photos during her visits! Very satisfied with this experience.”
About: Hi there! I am upbeat, diligent and have a great tend to detail! I have had pet kitties my entire adult life including the 2 I already have at home! Anything you need, I can take care of! I would love to be considered to take care of your little ones!
“My mom passed away suddenly and I contacted Alexandra and she immediately responded and was able to sit my pets. She's always there when I need her and take such great care of them.”
“Silvana was wonderful. I received daily pictures and updates and came home to happy cats. I was very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care and would highly recommend her for pet sitting needs.”
About: I first fell in love with cats while living with roommates who had several of their own. After moving away, I realized how much I missed having them around and adopted a cat of my own. Caring for my cat has taught me a great deal about feline behavior, patience, and the importance of building trust at each cat's own pace. My cat is very anxious, so I'm experienced in providing calm, patient care and understanding that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level!
“Mariah took great care of my two fur babies. She played with the kitten and was patient and gentle with my older cat…She sent cute pics and updates! She also took in my amazon packages and the trash cans, what a wonderful help!! i highly recommend Mariah!!”

“Cheyanne was extremely nice and attentive to my fur babies needs. She was detailed in all that she did in her visits, let me know how my kitty was doing and she sent photos everyday. She’s very personable and sweet. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”
“Karin was so amazing with my elderly cat, Kahlua. Very patient and gave me regular updates. I felt so at ease knowing Karin was there to care for her. Would absolutely recommend and will plan to use her again should I go on another trip.”
“Great experience with Anthony! We had a last-minute request, and he was quick to respond and flexible with making changes we needed. Our two Aussies responded really well to him, and we loved receiving plenty of pictures and clear communication with every visit. We’re looking forward to working with Anthony again in the future.”
“Allen did a wonderful job of taking care of our cat. He took extra time to find her, talk to her and pet her. He sent photos and videos of her. I highly recommend Allen.”
About: I have a cat at home. I grew up raising an old lab and a young energetic cockapoo. My sisters also had 3 dogs (golden retriever, yorkie, english spaniel), 5 cats, and 8 chickens that I pet sat frequently. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages and love caring for all of them 🫶 I am in Tampa on a clinical rotation for part of my Doctorate or Physical Therapy program. I had to leave my cat at home while i’m here so i miss my baby! I love cats and small dogs and would love to help take care of yours while i’m missing mine! I am a vegetarian and could never imagine hurting an animal much less a pet. I care for all pets like they are apart of my own family.
“Melissa is fantastic! She did a great job looking after my sometimes shy little kitty. My cat seems very happy, healthy, and entertained. I think she had a really nice week and enjoyed her visits with Melissa. Thank you so much, Melissa!”

About: What sets us apart is that your dog becomes part of a real, active family home—not just a boarding situation. With a structured daily routine, lots of attention, and a home full of care, we treat every dog like they belong with us. Your pup won’t be left alone in a quiet kennel environment—they’ll be included in family life, walks, and consistent companionship. Someone is almost always home too so you know your baby is in constant care. I am a preschool teacher and am off summer and holiday breaks. I work mornings and am only a 60 second walk from the church I work at so am available to come home quickly! We have watched many, many dogs for friends and family in past and now with the kids of age to work and the love of dogs we’re expanding! I am a preschool teacher at my church that is a 60 second walk from my house, I also have teenage triplets who both babysit and dog sit (they love to do both), so someone is always home and available for walks, feedings, and love. The triplets are very active sports wise so having our own dog in this season isn’t an option so we love any and all opportunities to have one in our home, it is such a blessing! We have a wonderful, quiet street near Bayshore perfect for walking. Most of the people on our street our retired with dogs so dogs are the children around here! Having three teenagers as well who absolutely love dogs ensures your pup is being overfilled with love.
About: I grew up taking care of two labradors and miss my furry friends, so I’m looking to find some new pups to love on. Currently an owner of a black cat, Winnie. Currently taking a gap semester off of college and looking for work. At the moment I do not hold any other job, so I am available anytime to care for your animals! I am flexible and able to work with any environment I am provided in order to give the best care I can provide to your animals!
About: Whats sets me apart from others is that I have patience, responsibility, and a true love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a current graduate student taking classes three days a week. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walking and caring for dogs fits seamlessly into my schedule and lifestyle. In my client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention. When walking, I prioritize safety and consistency, treating every dog with the same care I’d give my own.
About: I love the loyalty, mischief, and personalities that come with animals. They are the perfect companion and friend. With over 10 professional years and 15 personal years of having various animals, I will always treat your fur babies with the same care and love they deserve, even if it is just for a short while!! I am currently working full-time; however, my work does not interfere with my schedule for dog sitting. I am currently enrolled in school to start in August, so depending on needs, I can accommodate normal needs (dependent on the situation), if not more, come August! I care for my clients' pets by keeping them in their environment, allowing them to get comfortable and trusting within their limits and curiosity. I do not accept boarding. I only accept overnight bookings within the home of my clients simply for the animals' safety and comfort. I always ask for a mandatory meet and greet with the client and animal I have not worked with before to better keep all animals and parties involved safe and comfortable!!
“Ahmed took amazing care of my dog and made the entire experience stress-free. He was responsive, dependable and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
About: I have had and cared for dogs all my life. Love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Will drop by for walks, playtime, potty breaks and tender loving care!! I have the time to care for your dog Monday thru Sunday, early to late. Can be flexible and can do multiple visits throughout the day. Flexibility is key to keeping your fur babies happy. Just let me know when, where and how many times per day you need and we'll make it happen.
“Mariah was amazing with the pups. She was very communicative, and also early both days. We appreciated her taking care of the pups both days! The pups are exhausted! Thanks again!”
“Bre was absolutely great! I had a scheduling issue with my original plans, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She adjusted the schedule to fit my family’s needs, which took a huge amount of stress off my plate. It was clear she genuinely cared about helping everything go smoothly. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and willingness to work with us. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and understanding dog sitter/walker.”
“Elena made herself available on such short notice when I was not able to secure any walkers. Mira had such a great time with her and really appreciated her flexibility!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12! I grew up having a dog, cats, fish, and hamsters. I currently have a dog who is 4 years old and I love taking him on walks and to the dog park! I am a teacher so I have summers off!

I have most experience with dogs and cats! I will feed, bathe, walk, and clean up after your pet. Whatever you need, I can do for you!
“Anthony has been a godsend with my sweet boy, Finn. He’s always happy to see him and cries when he leaves because he wants more of his time! He’s great at updating you with photos, taking new routes so they stay engaged, and I feel like he really cares for him! So happy I booked him to walk my boy when I’m at work!”
About: Over the past few years, I have picked up pet sitting and walking jobs, while attending college. I am a reliable and trustworthy sitter for my clients. I currently pick up pet sitting jobs as they come up. I recently adopted two cats, and enjoy playing and caring for them during the day. I have just reopened my availability for pet sitting and walking into my daily routine through Rover, so my availability is very open! When petsitting in my clients home I make sure the pets feel loved and entertained. I care for all the pets as if they are my own.

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I have experience caring for small and medium-sized dogs up to 65 pounds and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I grew up with Boxers my whole life so dogs with crazy and loving energy is where I thrive but also love and enjoy our calm pups too! I provide plenty of exercise through walks, playtime, and interactive activities to keep dogs happy and engaged. I also enjoy giving them lots of attention, affection, and cuddles so they feel right at home. Your dog's routine is important to me, so I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water available, and receive frequent bathroom breaks throughout the day. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or just have a companion nearby, I will provide attentive, reliable care and treat them like part of my family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away! I am currently working full-time during the week but get home at about 4:30p every day. I work from home every Friday and I am home most weekends so weekend sitting is where I will be most available! My schedule is flexible though so for longer needs, I can work around it with enough notice given. I have a fenced in yard and my sister who lives with me who also loves dogs very much. When in my home, I want the dogs I am watching to feel comfortable and wherever I am, they are welcome! I have a very open layout on the first floor with easy access to the back yard. The upstairs is very open as well with big windows and 3 bedrooms. As for caring in clients homes, I am very respectful and want the dogs to feel safe in their space with me there. I offer to wash them if needed, walk them, feed them, and take them to the dog park as well if allowed!
