“Maxine was fantastic with our baby boy Rambo! We booked last minute stay because we wanted to provide our other baby with one last peaceful weekend before we said goodbye as she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Maxine knew this and was so compassionate in her communication with us and kept our spirits high by sending the most hilarious pictures of Rambo in tons of different costumes and scenarios. We’re so grateful that we found her and had her as our sitter, she made a very difficult time in our lives much easier by taking such great care of Rambo, which allowed us to give our sweet baby girl the best weekend send off.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met her, we knew Luna was in great hands. 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!”

“Katie is conscientious, responsible and compassionate. She listens to what your pet requires and flexes appropriately when things change. Our kitty needed human interaction as a priority and Katie made the most of her one hour drop ins. Our kitty was in good spirits, well groomed, and her areas were super clean after over three weeks in Katie’s care. We are grateful to have her and will be booking her again.”
“As always, Emma was fantastic with my girls. She went above and beyond when Snap and Pompom broke something (100% my fault) and made sure it was well cleaned so they wouldn't get glass in their paws.”

“Can’t thank Elizabeth enough for looking after my furry ones. She goes above and beyond making sure everyone is taking care of as well as ensuring everything is tidy and clean. Truly appreciate all she does and will definitely want her to look after them again!”
“Samantha was A-MAZ-ING! One of our two cats had a health issue while we were gone. Samantha contacted me about taking her to the vet, and she came back for an additional visit to get my cat to the vet at the correct time. She had great communication with me throughout, and added extra visits to accommodate the medication schedule the vet prescribed. She did a great job giving the cat her medicine and giving both cats love and attention (brushing, petting, special treats) throughout the week that we were gone. I would not hesitate to book Smanatha again.”
“Kory did a great job watching my cat Mojo, he spent time with him and gave me updates everyday :) Highly recommend Kory to take care of your pet”
“Chloe was absolutely amazing with our cat, Ray! She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared for her like she was her own. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Ray can be particular, and Chloe was so patient and loving with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would 100% recommend Chloe to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐈⬛🤍”

“What can I say, Jordan is by far the best pet sitter! My Olive can't wait to have her cat sit again. Jordan is very responsive, very prompt with timing, and never shorts on the time spent. I've never had so many photos of my Olive before, it felt like I was with Olive even from another country. I highly recommend Jordan's services!”
“Oh my gosh Jenna was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of my cat Tiki, my cat was going through a medical situation throughout the time Jenna was watching her and she handled it so well and I came back from vacation to a much healthier cat!

“Daphne was fantastic and kept us up to date on our dog while we were gone! We even had a vase of flowers that somehow got spilt while we were gone and she cleaned all the water up without even saying anything to us. Thank you so much!!!”
“I’m convinced our cat thinks she is on vacation when she gets to go to Beth’s house. This is the second time we have left our cat with Beth and she got to stay for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Our cat is an old girl set in her ways and loves being around people.. She hates sleeping alone at night. So she goes to sleep over at Beth’s house (with no other animals there on our request so it’s less stress on the cat). Beth sends me pics daily which I love and is also mindful to check what frequency we want pictures. Our cat gets all the love, snuggles, treats and time on the porch she could hope for! Beth is very helpful and communicative coordinating handing off the animal too. This time, because of our schedules, she came to our home to get the cat for us a day after we left. We’re big fans of Beth’s and highly recommend her for your pets. She watches doggos & probably other animals too!”
“Virginia was absolutely wonderful with our cats Orange and Saja! She followed all the instructions carefully, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ridgewood Park
About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.
“Pamela was so incredibly helpful by taking my little buddy last minutes notice. She sent tons of fun photo updates. I will definitely recommend her and am so glad I have a new sitter I can count on when I’m in need.”
“Madisyn is the best! My dog Steven has been going to her for about a month and he absolutely adores her! She has three dogs so Steven always has friends to play with, and she even takes them to the park and sends pics and videos. He comes home happy, exhausted, and cleaned so well I'd never have known he was playing outside if I hadn't gotten videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”
“Burphee enjoyed himself and felt safe with her. She was extremely caring and made sure I was comfortable with the whole process too. I highly recommend.”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I work from home full time, so your pup will get consistent attention and company throughout the day, including frequent potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles.

I also have experience with axolotls, turtles, rodents/rabbits, and fish, in case you have other pets that also need attending to while you are away. I am also happy to do additional tasks like collect mail, water plants, and other small things you may need done in your home while you are away from it and your pets. I work part time at Health Mutt in Seminole Heights and have extensive knowledge and connections in the holistic food and grooming world. Let’s talk! I work from home and can take breaks as often as needed to take care of any animals in my care, especially for walks and play time I have one dog that loves to play with any other dogs, and my cat can be secured as necessary. I am happy to let dogs out or take them for walks.

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.
“They were so patient with me, working in healthcare there was so many things that shifted my schedule but they reassured me that I was okay and treated my dog so well”
About: Hi! I’m Jade, and I offer personalized, pet care from my home. I live with my husband, teenage son, our dog Zoey, and three cats, so your pet gets plenty of attention while still enjoying a relaxed, home-style environment. I’m home throughout the day, which means pets staying with me get lots of companionship and aren’t routinely left alone for long periods. I also keep my bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention, walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of photo updates while they’re with me. For boarding and daycare, I’m best suited for dogs who are comfortable around other pets and can settle into a home environment. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I love learning what helps them feel most comfortable and at home. Whether your dog wants to play, go for walks, lounge nearby, or curl up for a nap, I’m happy to follow their lead and keep their stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medications, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give your pet safe, loving, dependable care and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like one of our own. I’m home throughout most of the day, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and company. My schedule is generally very flexible, but I do appreciate a heads-up for drop-offs, pick-ups, and visit times so I can plan around errands, appointments, and other bookings. Good communication helps everything run smoothly and makes transitions easier for everyone! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family while still following the routines and boundaries they’re used to at home. I keep bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and keep a close eye on how everyone is getting along. Dogs get regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of downtime. I supervise interactions with my own pets and make sure everyone has space to relax when they need it. Feeding, medications, crate routines, and other care instructions are followed based on each pet’s normal schedule. For drop-ins and walks, I’m respectful of your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box care, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. Most importantly, I pay attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality rather than expecting every animal to interact or behave the same way.
About: I love dogs so much and would love to walk any pups in the Channelside/Water Street/Harbour Island areas! I’m always happy to watch my friends pets and treat them like they’re my own. I would love to walk your pups on both the weekends and weekdays. I work remote so I am flexible! I’d be happy to schedule reoccurring walks as well. I love dogs so much and would be doing this for pure enjoyment! With that being said, I will take care of your pup like they are my own. I am a very cautious walker just because I used to have a small senior dog and will walk your dog with the same care.

“Kelsey was truly amazing! I hired her last minute after my previous walker moved, and she was incredibly accommodating, which meant so much since my dog is a newly adopted rescue. She was always on time, very responsive, and kept me at ease with her detailed report cards after each walk.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember. Many people I know, don’t fail to notice how caring, gentle, and playful I am with not only pets but with everyone else as-well. I have experienced dogs who are old, anxious, energetic, weak, shy, lovey, and everything in between. Since I was two, I would take care of my childhood dog as if he were my own baby. I’m currently attending college classes and as of right now have extra time to make money and try new things! I am available everyday except Tuesdays or Thursdays! I live in a gated apartment, that has a walking trail within. There is lots of greenery and sometimes other dogs around. I also live 8 minutes away from a dog park where I spend lots of my time walking or running. As far as being in your home, I will abide by the rules and follow what I am being told, in terms for what is best for the dog and everyone else. I will also make the experience fun and your pet will be in great hands.

I make sure to take your dog on frequent walks and provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and playtime, whether it's in a nearby park or just a walk around the block. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their routine as closely as possible to minimize any stress or anxiety they may experience from being away from their owner. Above all, I treat every dog in my care with the love and attention I would give to my own pets, so you can rest assured that your furry friend is 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.”
“Madisyn was an excellent carer for my lab Luna while we were away for the 4th of July. She sent updates about her adjustment and about how she did during fireworks and made sure my girl was comfortable for her stay. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Chante was great with my dog. She was very attentive and communicative. My dog was very well taken care of and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Rachel was everything you would hope for in a dog sitter!! She sent us a daily photo of our Murphy girl, was super responsive when we had questions and very flexible with pick up and drop off times! Murphy had so much fun staying at her house and we will definitely be reaching out to have Murphy stay again! We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my dog for a full week, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. My dog had an amazing time and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine attention she gave— it was clear she truly loves what she does. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Sam is a gem. Violet seems to be relaxed and happy when she is with him. He is a great communicator and is flexible with scheduling. We have used him before and will definitely use him again.”
“Kory took such good care of our boys. We got lots of daily pics of them being silly pups. We would have him watch our boys again and definitely recommend him to others as a sitter.”
“Grateful that Hailey was willing to take Leo for 5 nights on relatively short notice. Leo was 10-11 months old and a rehome when we adopted him about 16 months ago, and this was his first stay away from our home, so you can imagine I carefully reviewed sitters on Rover. Hailey was my number one choice. She encouraged a meet and greet, which I also think is essential. Hailey listened carefully as I described Leo and his quirks. She gave Leo the space and time needed for him to settle in and warm up to her and she was quite prompt with meeting times and dog walks. Leo seemed quite content when I picked him up. I'd love to board Leo with Hailey again when the need arises.”
“Qian is such a lifesaver for me! I often need to leave town without much notice and they are always happy to work with me. My dogs come home tired and not smelly, and I get so much information from their updates. I have never had to ask for an update once over multiple visits. They send so many and they are so detailed with so many pictures. So easy to work with and so trustworthy for such an important job!”
“Jack loves staying over. Gets plenty of attention, playtime and walks. When we pull up he cant wait to see everyone he is so excited. Lots of communication and pictures when he stays. Favorite sitter.”
“Grace was awesome - she took amazing care of my dog and was in great communication with me the entire time. I felt at ease and she was very flexible with me as my plans were changing for drop off and pickup. Her family took awesome care of my dog - would book in the future!”
“Cynthia was easy to coordinate with and really helped me out by watching my cat(Mr. Stitches) given a short notice. She sent me daily photo updates where in Mr. Stitches looked very much at ease. I would trust Cynthia again and recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone in the Tampa Bay Area.”
“Celine and her fiancé were absolutely amazing. Above and beyond. Felt so comfortable leaving my small kitten and puppy in her/their care. 10/10 would recommend. She’s soooo sweet, attentive, caring and communicative. Cannot leave a glowing enough review. Thank you so much!!!”
“Lynne and her husband were excellent sitters for our dog while we were out of town for an extended weekend. Got daily updates and they looked after him as if he was their own. Our dog was sad to leave them.”

“Our pups had a blast with Melinda & David! They were well taken care of and comfortable during their stay, I could tell they were in good hands. Melinda and David are very accommodating, understanding and trustworthy. Knox and Nash can't wait to go back. Thank you!”
