“My little Luna had an excellent stay here; she was very happy. They were very kind and kept us updated with photos and texts the entire time. I recommend them 100% and would definitely contact them again in the future.”
“Maxine is outstanding when it comes to caring for your fur baby. She’s kind, compassionate, caring and loving. She kept us informed on our fur baby activities daily along with sending us pictures of our baby to let us know she was in great spirit. I will highly recommend Maxine to anyone that’s looking for a dog sitter to keep your day when you have to travel or just one a daily journey.”
“CeCe is Awesome! We are so happy we found her service. She treats our fur babies like her children. She is such a kind soul. We won’t use anyone else but CECE, she even bought gifts for our pups. Thank You again for an amazing experience!”
“Kory is exceptional! Went above and beyond for my Gatsby and truly took the time out to be there for him as if he was his own! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Kristin and her loving family were a complete godsend for my two senior dogs and me! As a new Florida resident working from home, I faced the jarring predicament of leaving my fur babies behind for the first time—with my entire support system over 3,000 miles away. After a recent sitter horror story, I was anxious about finding someone trustworthy. Kristin’s exceptional communication, endless affection for my dogs, and frequent updates (FOMO!) put me at ease immediately. Her thoughtful care, attention to my dogs’ needs, and warm, cuddly family made it clear—they weren’t just being watched; they were being loved. Seeing them so happy truly filled me with gratitude. If you’re a fellow Tampa newcomer or simply hesitant about entrusting your pets to a new sitter, let Kristin’s own fur babies be the proof of her deep love and understanding of animals. Their easygoing, respectful, and welcoming demeanor reflects the care and compassion they receive daily. Thanks to Kristin, I was able to fully relax and be present while celebrating the birth of my nephew—something I never thought possible with my usual separation anxiety (haha!). I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Hermun did a thorough meet and greet and made sure Bella and I were comfortable and accommodated. She has always been flexible with my schedule and sends pics and updates. Bella loves snuggling with Max!”
“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.”
“Elena was excellent with our dog Ivory. She took tons of pictures and gave us plenty of updates each day. Drop off and pick up was also super easy.”
“Kiran is the best sitter! Our Lily is always well taken care of and she always comes back happy😊 Kiran is responsive and communicative throughout the stay. Definitely recommend!”
“Tucker had an amazing time while staying with Margarita and Carissa. We are pretty sure that he had as good vacation as we did. Their son was Tucker‘s best playmate. We would highly recommend Margarita and Clarissa for anyone in the area needing a safe and loving home for their pet. Thank you again for the love and care.❤️. Bonus, they have an amazing backyard!”
“Nicole was very responsive and accommodating. She sent me updates about my cat everyday and it looked like my cat was very comfortable in her home. Would absolutely book with her again”
“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.”
“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.”
“My pup loved her time with Virginia. My dog is very anxious and has separation anxiety to the max, but was calm and relaxed the whole time she was with Virginia. She sent daily photos letting me know my pup was well cared for and loved. Can't recommend Virginia enough.”
“Victoria took good care of Charlie for 9 days. Keep me updated with photos. She only had one pet, our Charlie, on her apartment. We had a bad experience leaving Charlie with other pets in the past, coming back home very sick.”
“There are sitters who are doing this to make a living, and there are sitters who take care of pets because they love and care for pets. Shayna does love and care for pets under her care. We got daily pictures, updates and our dog was happy, happy all the time. We absolutely will take Rosie back to Shayna and we totally recommend her.”
About: Hi! I'm Jade, and I'd love to care for your pet like they're one of my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I share my home with my sweet dog, Zoey, and three cats, so I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I work for myself from home, so I'm home throughout the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and supervision. My husband and our 13 year old son also live here, so ours is a family home. If your dog is uncomfortable around men or children, just let me know beforehand so we can determine whether we'd be a good fit. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I only accept dog boarding and daycare, as it allows me to provide a calm, low-stress environment. I intentionally keep things personal so your dog isn't just another booking - they'll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddle time (if they're into that!) In addition to dog boarding and daycare, I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During walks and drop-ins, I can provide exercise, potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, affection, and care based on your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also send photo updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I’m especially happy to provide cat care through drop-in visits. I’ll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while respecting your cat’s personality and comfort level. Whether they want constant attention or prefer to observe me suspiciously from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm mostly flexible with my schedule and can accommodate bookings with advanced notice. I recommend reaching out ahead of time so I can make sure your pet gets my full attention and care. My home is a calm, pet-friendly environment where dogs receive attentive care, structure, and lots of affection. I offer in-home boarding and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and included in our daily routine. My cats and dog are both dog-friendly but my cats prefer no other cats. I accept bookings, preferably with advanced notice so I can give each pet my full attention.
“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”

“Katie is amazing! She’s a true cat person that understands cats and how to make them comfortable. Katie had our shy kitty interacting and playing with her on the first visit. She always provided great pictures and updates. Our family felt 100% comforted that our kitty was well cared for while we were away. Side note - We had a water leak while we were away. Katie is a problem solver and acted with urgency. She texted and called us as soon as the leak was discovered. She was able to turn the water off and clean up the water. This saved us replacing our wood floor and lots of $$$. We couldn’t recommend Katie more and we will be requesting her service next time we are away for kitty companionship!”
“Bethany was amazing with our two kitties! She always takes great care of them and communicates updates about our boys each time we travel. Highly recommend her taking care of your fur babies!”
“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! I’m so impressed by her communication and tender care towards my cat. I will hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anybody!”
“First time with Tina who was absolutely outstanding from the meet-and-greet at the beginning to the the last visit, all done in a very timely, loving and professional manner. We will definitely book Tina again!”
“Addison was amazing with my 3 cats! It was so reassuring to be on vacation and know my cats were well-loved and taken care of while I was gone. Highly recommend!!”
“Emma is kind, understanding, great with cats and a quick responder! She was my first ever sitter for my cats, and i will definitely be using her again! Wish i could rate more than 5 stars ??”
“Valerie cared for our pets Ruby, Zeus,Zoya and Sunny- a dog and 3 cats. We also have an aquarium. She also fed our fish. Our senior dog Ruby had several indoor poop and pee accidents indoor in between visits much more than usual. Valerie cleaned up each time she came for drop-in visits. Ruby is usually very anxious when we return from trips but this time she didn’t seem anxious at all. Will recommend Valerie.”
“Rachel was very friendly and did a great job of taking care of our cats! She followed our guide perfectly and provided nice updates with pictures. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter.”
“Absolutely amazing! Natalie did more than asked and followed instructions perfectly. She was very communitive while I was away for a whole week. She played with kitties and they loved her!! Recommend.”
“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!”
“Samantha was amazing with Cleo this past weekend! She was very reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Cleo is quite shy at first, but Samantha was patient and gentle, which really helped her feel more comfortable over time. I felt very at ease knowing Cleo was in good hands. I would definitely book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Bekah was amazing watching my two cats while I was away for a week. She spent so much time with them and sent lots of great updates and made me feel so comfortable knowing they were being taken great care of while I was away. Thank you!!!”
“I had to be out of the house for a couple days and couldn’t bring the cats with me. Aisha answered within minutes and was so great with the cats. Sent me pictures and gave me updates daily. Would totally recommend to anyone!”
“Rachel was great with our two cats. I loved the daily photos. Shortly after we left there was an issue with an automatic feeding dish and she notified us immediately. She even went and got replacement batteries for the dish. The cats seemed to love her and very friendly to her, not scared at all. I would and probably will rehire her in a heartbeat. I recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter.”

“Chante was great! We needed someone to watch our 6 month old puppy for a couple of days of daycare and our pup had a great time! She played all day in Chante’s large fenced in backyard with Makeda and came home happy and sleepy! Chante was super accommodating of our schedules and super quick to respond throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pups!”
“Roberto and his family took amazing care of my pup, Ellie. I was so happy with her experience and I could tell she was too. He sent videos and photos everyday as well as making sure she got her exercise. I will definitely use his services in the future! Could not recommend enough.”
“Alex is so easy to work with! I originally connected with Alex in hopes that I could find an occasional weekend sitter but he takes such good care of Shadow that I am using him even on my week days while I go into the office or have errands. I highly recommend.”

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting since 2015, it started out looking after my neighbor’s 2 dogs and before i knew it, the good word spread around in my neighborhood and i became the local pet sitter, everything grew after that. Not to mention i have been around dogs my whole life, my mom had 3 growing up. i realized that although im able to make money from this, it doesn't feel like a job to me at all because i absolutely love animals and i feel good taking care of them. i can say that i have found my passion in the process. i provide 5 star service and keep great communication with the owners. i am very trustworthy, and have many references to support my claims which are available upon request. i love what i do and if you allow me the opportunity to show you, i will provide great value to you and your pet’s needs. i am able to fulfill custom requests as well. anything else you would like to know just ask me, i am very transparent and personable. Thank you for the opportunity! God bless. i left my former job in 2019 to become a full time pet caretaker. my schedule is flexible, and i will most likely be able to meet your availability needs. i have set up my home to be a very safe and pet-friendly environment, they have space to roam around inside and outdoor availability as well. There is also a very nice dog park in my neighborhood. i am very respectful when entering other people’s homes and i view it as a privilege that they trust me in their home. i mind my own business and only do what the owner asks of me. i treat other’s homes as i would want mine to be treated.
“Coco had the best day at daycare! She came home calm, happily tired, and smelling great, even with an adorable new bandana. They give constant detailed updates throughout the day which gives such peace of mind. Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and walking animals from guinea pigs to cats to puppies for about 5 years now. All different pets love to come to me for lots of furry fun! I’m currently a part time student so I have plenty of time for snuggling and walking your little fur balls. If I’m not home there will be a at least 1 other adult home to tend to their needs. At the home there is a large fenced back yard for running, wrestling and fetch. There will also be a 6-year old friendly and sweet golden retriever to keep your fur baby company. We do not allow dogs on the furniture, please be honest if your pup is used to being on the couches.
“Madisyn is so kind and easy to work with and she truly cares about your pup you leave in her care. She is great at sending you updates and is has adorable pups of her own. Evie is always so excited to spend the day over.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and farm animals since I was young! I currently own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. Perfect for those last minute occasions that pop up. Available whenever needed to take care of your fur baby! The health, wellbeing and safety of your animal is of my utmost concern. I’ll always have your dog on a leash outside (unless you have a fenced in yard) and monitor their reaction to the environment. If there’s anything “off” about your pet I’ll notify you ASAP.

About: Hi! I’m a college student at UT and I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I can help with walks, feeding, refilling water, litter boxes, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to spend time with them so they’re not alone while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and good about sticking to your pet’s routine so everything feels normal for them. I pay attention to what each pet needs and make sure they’re comfortable and taken care of. I can also send updates or pictures if you’d like. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m always willing to work around what you need. I’m a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m usually available during the day between classes and most afternoons/evenings, as well as weekends. I can do walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I take pet care seriously and always try to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I follow any instructions you leave closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m respectful of your home and will keep things clean and secure. I pay attention to how each pet is acting so I can make sure they’re doing well, and I’ll reach out if anything seems off. I also make sure doors are secure and pets are always supervised during visits.
“Thank you Shelby for caring for Mikha. You do a great job caring for her. We appreciate you. Love the little things you do to care for her —like setting up her toys to tuck her in or putting on baby Shark so she has some fun entertainment.”
About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.
“Emma and her husband were great! Our dog is elderly and has had some health complications and they were so kind and patient with him. We will definitely be working with them in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for years. I have rescued 4, and I enjoy every breed. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years which allowed me to gain experience in administering medicine, and keeping animal spaces clean. I am currently a full time student athlete, so I am busy. However, that never stopped me from taking care of my animals at home. Going on walks and playing with animals is a genuine experience that relieves me of the stresses in college. My day does start relatively early; however, I have a lot of time in between classes and other activities. I plan to care for your pets depending on their needs and your home. If you have a yard that would be a great area for them to play outside; however if you do not, I am more than happy to take them on walks or to dog parks.
“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”
About: I've never met a dog I didn't want to say hi to! I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and I've helped care for dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. Beyond my own pets, I've frequently cared for family members' and friends' dogs while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering medications when needed, and keeping them on their normal routines. I'm currently available most days and have a very flexible schedule before I begin my new job in September. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra playtime and cuddles, I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide the attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you provide. I'm happy to send regular photo updates and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you're away. I'm experienced around dogs with different personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want companionship, and I'm patient, calm, and attentive to their individual needs. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable throughout the entire experience.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Serena Is Wonderful! Serena has been amazing with our Lab, Rebel, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She’s incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and Rebel absolutely loves his time with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and brings such a calm, positive energy. One thing we appreciate most is how dependable she is — Serena is always willing to step in and help whenever we need extra support, which has been such a lifesaver for us. Her communication and reliability are top-notch, and we always feel confident knowing Rebel is in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Serena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker — we’ll definitely keep using her!”
About: Started dog-walking/-sitting in my pre-teens. Owned 3 dogs during this time (two part-Lab and one Great Dane. All rescues). Kept a small, growing business which consisted of walking or being paid to stay a week with a dog. This continued until early 20s. Have since continued to sit family's, friends', and family friends' dogs over the years. No matter the size or breed I always manage to find a friend in new dogs. Epileptic, old, and those requiring medicine are not a problem. Whether or not they adhere to commands isn't a problem. I've had very obedient dogs and known many that ran the house. Either way, we'll get along fine. I'm never out of the house for long. Maybe 4 hours max, but rarely more than 2. Our old lady used to need a lot of attention, so I'm used to life revolving around a dog upon entry, before leaving, and taking a break every 30 minutes to give some love. Fenced in yard. We have a designated spot in a public walkway for food and water but can move as needs depict. Doors to back rooms are shut when not being used. Nothing heavy or sharp that can fall or come in contact with your pet. We had a 17.5 year old so the house was made as safe as possible for her.
“Celine has walked our golden doodle a few times now and she has been extremely kind and accommodating. She is always flexible if plans have changed and our doodle loves her! Will continue to use her for walks ☺️”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always treat your pet like they’re my own, giving you peace of mind and your pet the attention they deserve. I’m currently a student at the University of Tampa taking some classes over the summer, so aside from that, I have all the time in the world to contribute to your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. There are no other animals in my apartment and I live with one roommate.
About: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.
About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
About: I have been taking care of animals, mainly dogs, since I was 11 years old. I have always loved looking after pets, whether it be my family or friends, or the neighbor across the street and I will love taking care of yours as well.

About: Hi! I'm Jade, and I'd love to care for your pet like they're one of my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I share my home with my sweet dog, Zoey, and three cats, so I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I work for myself from home, so I'm home throughout the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and supervision. My husband and our 13 year old son also live here, so ours is a family home. If your dog is uncomfortable around men or children, just let me know beforehand so we can determine whether we'd be a good fit. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first. I only accept dog boarding and daycare, as it allows me to provide a calm, low-stress environment. I intentionally keep things personal so your dog isn't just another booking - they'll receive lots of love, playtime, and cuddle time (if they're into that!) In addition to dog boarding and daycare, I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During walks and drop-ins, I can provide exercise, potty breaks, fresh food and water, playtime, affection, and care based on your pet’s usual routine. I’ll also send photo updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I’m especially happy to provide cat care through drop-in visits. I’ll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while respecting your cat’s personality and comfort level. Whether they want constant attention or prefer to observe me suspiciously from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead. I'm dependable, communicative, and happy to send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I'm mostly flexible with my schedule and can accommodate bookings with advanced notice. I recommend reaching out ahead of time so I can make sure your pet gets my full attention and care. My home is a calm, pet-friendly environment where dogs receive attentive care, structure, and lots of affection. I offer in-home boarding and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and included in our daily routine. My cats and dog are both dog-friendly but my cats prefer no other cats. I accept bookings, preferably with advanced notice so I can give each pet my full attention.
“Chante was awesome! She helped to take of our dog when we had a last minute change of plans come up and she took amazing care of her. Would definitely recommend her to others and will be looking to use her again the future.”
“I am beyond thankful for the care that they gave Kali. Awesome family, great environment, very loving!! I was worried Kali didn’t want to leave she felt right at home form the moment I brought her over. I will 100% come back in the future!”
“My dog Wendy was cartered to and treated so special. Her birthday was also celebrated. My husband and I went to a much needed anniversary vacation and we struggle for a while finding a pet sitter but Madisyn was an excellent communicator and gave me the confidence needed to ensure my dog Wendy will be taken great care. I was sent loads of videos and pictures each day of how my dog, Wendy was doing and she was always very happy and playful. I can't wait to continue daycare with Madisyn as Wendy loved staying with her.”
“It was an amazing experience having Samuel watch Josie. She had an amazing time and it was great to receive pictures updates throughout her stay. We would highly recommend again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.
“Lena was well taken care of by Ada. She sent photos and videos and gave her so much love and attention while we were away for the weekend! Highly recommend”
