“Hermun was AWESOME! My dog Periwinkle loved staying with her and didn't want to leave. Her beagle Max was such a beautiful and fun-loving companion for my beagle, making her feel right at home. Hermun was so flexible and kind. She sent me happy pictures throughout Periwinkle's stay, making me feel like I made the best choice in picking her. I would highly recommend Hermun as dog sitter.

She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Luna wasn’t just being watched…she was genuinely cared for and loved. When we picked Luna up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy who treats your dog like family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry family member. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Luna!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of numerous breeds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Dogs can sense my good nature, and feel safe and comfortably being handled by me, and they’re usually not reluctant to share affection with me. 😊 I have 4 days off per week to care for pets. The other 3 days I work 6 hours fairly close to my house so I can return home quickly. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to explore and release all of its energy. I also like going on walks. I’m happy to provide attention to a pet that needs it in the home. I will pet and play fetch or other games as needed.
“Melinda and David were so understanding of our dog’s needs. He is very nervous around new people and just needs someone who will respect his boundaries and let him warm up. They immediately understood this and did everything we asked to make him and us feel comfortable.”

Ruby is usually very anxious when we return from trips but this time she didn’t seem anxious at all. Will recommend Valerie.”
“Ahmed was very responsive, followed all instructions exactly, and provided plenty of picture and video updates. Also my dog loved him! Would definitely recommend.”
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.
“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.”
“Anna was exceptional! The fur babies responded to her very well. I love the communication and the extra care. She went above and beyond. I would be honored for her to care for my kitties every time I have a trip. She’s wonderful I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!!!!!”
“Absolutely awesome Rover. Nicholas went above and beyond in every way. He was such a blessing for us with such short notice. Thank you very much. Highly recommend his services.”
“Riley was awesome! We had a bit of trouble getting her keys to our apartment ( a huge miscommunication with our leasing office ) and she was flexible with helping us get a set of keys to her. We loved to see the pictures and the written updates about how the cats were doing! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Madison did amazing with my two cats Archie and Ellie! She fed them and made sure they had water, cleaned their litter box and played some with the cats! She also sent me update pictures of my cats giving me some peace of mind. I will definitely be rebooking with Madison in the future.”
About: Hi! I grew up in a house with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve always loved being around animals. I joined Rover because I enjoy helping pet owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’ll make sure your cat is well cared for, gets plenty of attention, and stays on their normal routine.
“I have used Olivia several times before for drop in visits for my cat Poppy. She is communicative and sends nice pictures and updates. She is always my top choice for sitters when I’m out of town; I definitely recommend her!”
“This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.”
“Candace was a great pet sitter for our 5 day vacation! She was super flexible with our last minute booking and scheduled a call with me day-of to go over everything. During the visits she sent the cutest pictures of our cat and even cleaned up all his wayward treats. She was very communicative the whole time and I highly recommend her pet-sitting!”

“Evgenia was a great sitter! She played with my puppy outside a lot and took him on a couple of walks. She kept me updated throughout the day and sent pictures!”
About: We are lifelong animal lovers with over 30 years of combined experience caring for pets. Jeni grew up with German Shepherds and has always had a dog in the home. She began pet sitting as a service for friends and family 15 years ago. Marc also grew up with family dogs and, for the past 13 years, he’s loved on his own high-energy pup, Cooper. Now as a married couple we have a “blended family” with our senior dog Cooper and our adult dog Leila as our loyal companions. Because we both work from home with flexible schedules, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We love animals of all sizes and personalities and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether you need us to watch your dog in our home, drop in for visits, or take them on a walk, your furbaby will be in great hands! For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. Since we both work from home, we’re able to let our own dogs outside whenever they want to go - yours will be treated just like our own! Our goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. We’re always happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into our flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing frequent walks, playtime, feeding, and attentive supervision throughout the day. Our flexible schedule also gives us the chance to take the dogs on a walk through the day. 🐾 We have two dogs and a securely fenced in yard where they play outside many times a day. For stays in our home, dogs can be let outside as often as they want to go outside. For drop in visits, we follow your instructions and requests.
About: I have taken care of all the animals, fish, dogs big and small and the kitties! I love all the animals! Can’t wait to meet them! I work a very flexible job! Would be able to go check on your babies throughout the day and stay over night whenever needed! :) I am a homebody so I am good to stay and hang out with your animal as needed! I can also do drop ins and come back and let them out late and back early in the am! We can take long walks or just let them have a sniff-ari 😉. I treat them like they are my own! I can also board your sweet babies with me at my boyfriend’s apartment! He’s doesn't have any animals so it’s a great place for animals if they need to be alone!
“Matt did a great job with my pup for day care! I love that he provided updates with pictures/videos. He also responded very quickly to messages which was super appreciated.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle. My dog is super anxious, so I was really worried about leaving her in someone else’s care—but the minute Michelle opened the door, Mabel ran right in. It was an instant bond. Both Mabel and I could immediately feel Michelle’s warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing she’s an experienced dog sitter and that Mabel was in such good hands. When I picked Mabel up, she was calm and happy. Now, whenever we go back, Mabel runs straight through the door, so excited to see her—which says everything.”
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.
“How did we know our princess was in good hands? When she literally ran up the steps to see her new BFF Penny. Can't forget to mention Amanda and Matthew are amazing. It's nice to know we can leave our girl and know she will be loved and cared for.”
“Danni was amazing! Her dog was so calm, gentle, and great with Millie. She sent frequent updates and gave Millie all the attention she craves. She was patient and took Millie on several walks. We will be back! Thank you Danni!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. I have experience caring for pets who need extra attention, including senior pets, anxious pets, and animals with medical needs. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following specific care routines, as I have my own pets who require daily medication and extra support. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy planning my time around each pet's needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. My biggest priority when caring for pets is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, behaviors, and changes in mood or energy. Having pets of my own, including ones with health needs, I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and notice when something seems off.
About: Hi. My name is Christie. I love animals so much and I work from home full time. I can give your pet undivided attention all day long. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats (small and big!). I currently have a pet papillon that is 4 years old. He is very well mannered & loves to play with other dogs and cats! I would love to talk about the best way to care for your baby! I work from home full time and have my own small dog so I can give your dog the attention it needs! I have a fenced in yard so your pet can have lots of play time! I will love your dog like my own! I treat dogs like humans so your dog will be pampered and given lots of attention and play time. Let’s talk about the best way to care for your pet!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off since I was about 12 years old, from pet sitting for friends and family to helping care for dogs at my boyfriend’s family’s dog kennel in Virginia. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while you’re away! When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day! My schedule is flexible for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company. I only accept bookings when I know I’ll be home and able to give your pet the time and care they deserve. I live in a spacious apartment in a gated community with plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking schedule, and any specific instructions you provide. Their safety and comfort are always my priority.
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.

“Andy took great care of our two finicky senior pups. He genuinely cared about our dogs’ well-being! He is very communicative and sends pics of their walks. He is on time for their walks, even worked around the rain because they were afraid to go out. Recommend 100%”
About: I’ve had dogs for 20 years. I used to volunteer for the SPCA to help walk, bathe, clean and train dogs. I really enjoy working with dogs and figuring out what makes them happy! I’m currently taking classes and have loads of time for walking, boarding, or going to your house to take care of your animals. I look forward to meeting them! I have a fenced in yard in the back of the house. I have one dog - a Jack Russell / chihuahua mix (we think- she’s a rescue!)

“This was our first time using this service and Silvana made us so comfortable and Bella and Roux were so happy when they came back from their walk! Silvana was flexible and so easy to coordinate with.”
About: I'm a dependable, compassionate pet sitter who is committed to providing safe, attentive, and personalized care for every pet. I understand that pets are cherished members of the family, and I treat each one with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would expect for my own. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.

About: I have my own pets and know how I would want someone to treat my animals :) looking to fill in my day with sunshine and pets! I have plenty of time for walks or drop in visits, and am happy to work with dogs and cats. I am looking to get out of my work environment and spend time with animals I will care for your pets like I would my own, and will drop in and/or walk pets happily. I have a very energetic dog at home so am used to active dogs as well as lazy ones :)
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. I have now sat for various dog and cat owners in South Tampa! 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: 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’ve been around dogs my entire life, from growing up with them to now having two dogs of my own, Moon and Pearl. I’m a genuine dog lover and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, energy level and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dogs when you can’t be there. Whether your dog loves a long, energetic walk, prefers a slower stroll with plenty of time to sniff, or simply needs some extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention and care I give Moon and Pearl—and make sure you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Although my wife is in my profile photo, I will be taking care of your pups independently. My wife and I have two dogs of our own, Moon and Pearl, so caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy being active and outdoors, and I’m happy to tailor walks to your dog’s normal routine, pace and energy level. Although my wife is in my profile photo, I will be taking care of your pups independently. As a longtime dog owner, I know how much trust it takes to put your dog—and access to your home—in someone else’s hands. My wife and I feel the same way when someone cares for Moon and Pearl. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine and your specific instructions, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with respect. On walks, I stay attentive to your dog, our surroundings, traffic, other animals and anything that could affect their safety or comfort.
About: While my adult years have been primarily dedicated to canine care, my appreciation for felines began in childhood and continues to grow. I regularly engage with the cats of close friends and companions, which has taught me to highly respect the unique boundaries of feline behavior. Whether your cat is highly affectionate and craves attention, or prefers to be admired from a comfortable distance, I am adept at reading their body language and honoring their preferences.Combined with my extensive experience managing complex canine medical needs and high-energy routines, I offer a structured, safe, and highly observant environment for your cats. You can rest assured that your feline companion will receive the exact level of interaction, respect, and reliable care they require. I currently work part time/ as needed as a nurse while I’m getting my Masters! I have an extremely flexible schedule for early morning, middays, or afternoons. I have two fur babies at home that get along with all dogs, but if your baby needs more one on one care I’d be happy to visit them in their comfort zone.
“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.”
About: I've had my own dog for 11 years now, before that I grew up with a family chocolate lab. I've always had dogs in my life and my sister is a vet so I've experienced a lot and learned a lot. I would never let a dog get hurt! I treat dogs like humans :) I know what to do in many different situations because I've had experience with dogs my entire life, big and small. My boyfriend and I have watched a dog overnight for 2 weeks before. Our dog, Piper is nice and relaxed and gets along well with others. She loves having a friend around like she did when I was in college living with my roommate who had a Maltese. Day to day: I wake up at 7, walk my dog, then feed her. We hang out, I might go run some errands and puppy proof the apartment before I leave. I'll come back and let her out again. At night I let her out once after I feed her at 7, so about 8:30, then once more before I go to bed. I play with my dog a lot and she likes to snuggle. I would do all these things for your dog and anything else you request! My schedule is flexible, so I can fit walks into your dog’s routine with ease. I’m based in South Tampa and happy to travel up to 45 minutes. I keep my bookings consistent and reliable, and I’ll always show up on time and ready to give your pup a great walk. Since I offer dog walking, I come to you and care for your dog in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions on leashing, routes, and routine exactly. Safety is my top priority: I keep your dog leashed, avoid hazards, stay alert to their body language, and never put them in a situation that feels off. My sister is a vet, so I know how to spot when something is wrong.
About: I have grown up with dogs and different pets my whole life. I will walk, play and feed your pets. But most importantly I'll show love to your pet. During walks, I can keep a pace and pick up after them. I have personally had dogs my whole life and they have been all sizes from a Yorkie mix to a Great Dane and in between. I have pet sit for very many people including cats and dogs. The safety of your pet is very important to me and I will do my best to take care of it because I understand that they are more than pets but they are family. I currently work with marine animal care so providing a safe environment for your pet is my top priority. I have a lot of availability throughout the week and weekends. The safety of me and your pet comes first. Throughout high school and college I have had twelve reoccurring clients for house sitting, dog and cat sitting.
“Candace was so great with our frenchie! We so appreciated her patience in making sure Ruby was comfortable and had time to warm up to her. We definitely recommend Candace!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of numerous breeds since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs. Dogs can sense my good nature, and feel safe and comfortably being handled by me, and they’re usually not reluctant to share affection with me. 😊 I have 4 days off per week to care for pets. The other 3 days I work 6 hours fairly close to my house so I can return home quickly. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to explore and release all of its energy. I also like going on walks. I’m happy to provide attention to a pet that needs it in the home. I will pet and play fetch or other games as needed.
“Melinda and David were so understanding of our dog’s needs. He is very nervous around new people and just needs someone who will respect his boundaries and let him warm up. They immediately understood this and did everything we asked to make him and us feel comfortable.”
“Rachel was great and took awesome care of my dog! She works from home so she was there at all times and even took him out to the dog park. If you’re leaving your pet with Rachel you are in good hands!”
“I received many photos showing that Jax was happy, entertained, and relaxed. I liked that he was with other dogs, and that Erving was present most of the time with them. Very happy with the service.”
“Kendra was such a pleasure to work with. She and her fiancé were so sweet to Ike and sent me so many fun pictures. She really tool great care of my little old man and I would HIGHLY recommend her services. I will be using her again.”
About: I recently lost my soul dog of 16 years and would love to care for yours. I had Sadie from birth, and well versed with puppies, high energy dogs, and seniors. Comfortable administering medications and implementing any training or routines your dog needs. I work remote with a flexible schedule, and am typically home most days and evenings to spend with your pup and stick to their routine. I have a nice size fenced in yard, plus live close to Bayshore for long walks. If your dog is comfortable, I would enjoy taking them to the dog beach.
“Our dog, Archie, had a good time at Michael's when we left him for the weekend, and Michael was easy to communicate with and sent us updates and pictures on how things were going over the weekend. I'd recommend!”
“Viviana was great with Milo! They had a routine down and she treated him like her own. Milo sometimes won’t eat in new places and she did her best to get him to eat. She even used some wet food she had, which was really appreciated. Will definitely book again with Viviana when we need it!”
“Silvana and her family took great care of Pilot! She was very flexible and available. Updated us on his care with texts and photos. Took him on daily walks. Special thanks to her son, who shared his bed with pilot;)! Would definitely use her again. Thank you!”
“Emory and Quinn were fantastic. They are great with our older but energetic dog and provided lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. They went above and beyond for us when we had delays getting back home on time.”
“Grace was a wonderful sitter for our boy, Gumbo! She kept us updated every day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Gumbo clearly loved being around her and her family—he came home completely tuckered out and slept like he had clocked in for a full shift. We’re so grateful for how well she cared for him!”
“Lauren was extremely responsive throughout the booking process, and during our dog’s stay she sent plenty of updates/photos. We really appreciate her care and communication!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off since I was about 12 years old, from pet sitting for friends and family to helping care for dogs at my boyfriend’s family’s dog kennel in Virginia. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while you’re away! When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day! My schedule is flexible for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company. I only accept bookings when I know I’ll be home and able to give your pet the time and care they deserve. I live in a spacious apartment in a gated community with plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking schedule, and any specific instructions you provide. Their safety and comfort are always my priority.
