“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Our first experience with our dachshund Gertrude has been tremendously successful. Gertrude was well cared for and happy ... Kristin's little "shadow" for a week. We look forward to an upcoming stay scheduled for August. We are happy to give Kristin glowing recommendation!”
About: I am an animal lover, and most importantly when it comes to your pet, I will love and take care of them as if they were my own. I have had all types of pets such as dogs, hamsters, and even bunnies. It is a passion of mine, and I am looking forward to providing a loving, fun experience for your best friend! I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!
“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!”
“Cece did such an incredible job watching my corgi!! Constant updates and communication.She was attentive and did a great job with Louie.Would definitely recommend 😃”
“We booked Elona at the last minute, because we came in town for a Jennifer Hudson concert. And let me tell you, she was AMAZING!!! She sent several pictures and updates throughout our doggy stay. We could tell that our dog enjoyed herself based on her behavior. Elona gives off good vibes and positive energy, which translate to being a great caregiver for animals. I would most DEFINITELY use her again, and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter.”
“I would definitely have Jariah watch Belle again! She was super flexible, kept me updated throughout the stay, and Belle seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked her up. You could tell she was well cared for and had a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Absolutely a great experience! Shelley and her family were GREAT and my little buddy was very well taken care of. Great communication and pictures throughout. Would absolutely bring Thor back to stay again!”

“My Finley had a blast while vacationing at Trevor’s. I received daily updates as well as great pictures. I will most definitely use his services again and highly recommend him.”
“Janet is just the best! We have used her services probably close to a dozen times now. I have 100% confidence when our dog is with her and I never worry about him! There’s no one I would rather leave him with! Not even family members!”
“Marcus is great with Ziva, my Belgian Malinois. He is very accommodating and I can tell she enjoys her stay! He sends updates and is always available to let me know how she is doing or answer questions. He is our go to local sitter after moving here this year. I am very careful who I leave with her with- her last sitter was our go to for 5 years before we moved to Tampa. I am glad we found him!”
“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”
About: I've pet sat for dogs and cats of many family members and friends throughout my life and along with that I have a 14 year old dog I've taken care of my whole life. Currently working part-time but days are flexible so any days that are necessary I can change my schedule around that with enough of a warning ahead of time. I have no pets in my household so I can give full focus to your pet and have plenty of grass to walk them in.
“Jessica and her entire family were absolutely amazing! I've never left my dog Ginger with anyone aside from a close friend, so I was worried about her settling in somewhere new. My worries quickly disappeared on day one, when Jessica sent updates and photos of Ginger making herself at home. Ginger loved the entire family and was doted on by Jessica, her two wonderful children, and her husband. Jessica was very communicative throughout Ginger's stay and sent regular updates and photos. I cannot thank them enough for taking such great care of Ginger while I was gone and am thrilled she has a second home to go to whenever I'm away. Ginger will definitely be staying with Jessica and her family again!”
About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.

About: I've had cats my whole life and currently have two of my own! I'm comfortable with kittens and seniors alike and am well versed with cattitude! If your furry feline need medicine, I've given tablets, capsules, and liquid medicine to my own cats, as well as my catsitting clients!
About: I have been petsitting probably since I was about 10. I just moved away from home so I am without a dog and am excited to love yours as my own. I have watched dogs of every shape and size and I have experience walking bigger dogs and smaller dogs and have minimal experience training, but I love to teach tricks! Typically when I dogsit I feed and water morning and night, give meds if need, during the day I love to come over and wear them out whether that be a walk or just playing with toys. I am a grad student at USF focusing on Entertainment management. I go to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day(8-5) so those days are a little tougher for me, but MWFSS are good for me unless I have something with my program or I am headed home for holidays or an appt of some sort I am very trustworthy for keeping pets. I have a list of families who I’m sure would love to give u feedback on how I was with their animals. Growing up with dogs I have experienced a lot of different things and I am also a super emotional person l, so once I meet your dog I will literally pretend it is my own.
“Sophia is amazing!! She did a wonderful job taking care of my cat Oreo. Oreo is a loving cat also and looked forward to Sophia’s daily visits. He would start meowing before she could even open the door. She cleaned up his litter that he tracked through the house and ensured he got a full 30 minutes of playtime. She also checked that he had fresh water daily. I would definitely use her again if I’m out of town.”
“Bianca is a fantastic sitter- kind, patient, professional, and communicative. She shares detailed notes and pictures during each visit and is great about following instructions. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”

“Elena and her parents take amazing care of our puppy, Millie. They are so patient with her puppy behaviors and give her lots of exercise to work off her boundless energy. Communication is outstanding-I always know how Millie’s time with Elena went. I have utilized Rover for many years with previous dogs and can definitely say that Happy Tails is one of the absolute best!”

“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!

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pups!”

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.

“Annaliese was so patient with me! After a last minute cancellation she was able to provide care for my puppy. Super understanding and seemed like my pup really enjoyed her time with her. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.

“Jordan did an excellent job with Liza. She was very professional, confident and clearly loves what she does. Liza took to Jordan right away and as soon as Jordan mentioned going on a walk, she had Liza’s full attention.

Always available to discuss any schedule needs you may have! :) I always strive to provide the very best care possible for all pets and wildlife under my care & responsibility. I will always go above and beyond to make sure they are happy, loved & their everyday needs are met.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for pets comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs — many of them rescues and foster dogs — so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also helped raise and train puppies, giving me experience with younger dogs and basic training reinforcement. I’ve also helped care for senior dogs, including my own dog who lived to 17, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care older pets may need. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve house sat and pet sat for families and friends for years, caring for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m a recent college graduate and have a very flexible schedule this summer, so I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care throughout the week. I currently work at a Pilates studio on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but outside of those hours I’m available and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and giving them lots of attention, patience, and care. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and feel safe while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means high energy walks, extra cuddles, or a calmer environment for senior pets. I also make sure homes are kept clean, secure, and respected at all times. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and confident while in my care.

“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.”
“I had such a great experience boarding my two dogs with Haley! She was super responsive and took extra care with my reactive dog, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was away. I could tell she really cared and made sure both dogs were comfortable and happy. She was also flexible with drop off and pickup times, which I really appreciated. The dogs came home happy, I’d definitely book with her again!”
About: I am an animal lover, and most importantly when it comes to your pet, I will love and take care of them as if they were my own. I have had all types of pets such as dogs, hamsters, and even bunnies. It is a passion of mine, and I am looking forward to providing a loving, fun experience for your best friend! I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!
“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!”
“I would definitely have Jariah watch Belle again! She was super flexible, kept me updated throughout the stay, and Belle seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked her up. You could tell she was well cared for and had a great time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Absolutely a great experience! Shelley and her family were GREAT and my little buddy was very well taken care of. Great communication and pictures throughout. Would absolutely bring Thor back to stay again!”
“Windell was awesome!!! I will definitely be using his services whenever my Best friend Bam Bam can’t tag along with me! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!! We will see you next time!!!”
“My Finley had a blast while vacationing at Trevor’s. I received daily updates as well as great pictures. I will most definitely use his services again and highly recommend him.”
“Marcus is great with Ziva, my Belgian Malinois. He is very accommodating and I can tell she enjoys her stay! He sends updates and is always available to let me know how she is doing or answer questions. He is our go to local sitter after moving here this year. I am very careful who I leave with her with- her last sitter was our go to for 5 years before we moved to Tampa. I am glad we found him!”
“Laura and Ron were fantastic pet sitters! It was just 2 nights but our little guy Rudy was comfortable with them right away. The fact that they watch one pet at a time was a real plus for us as Rudy does not always do well with other dogs. The daily videos were fun to watch and made us feel good even when we were away. They took special care of Rudy who is 15. We will definitely be using their services again. Thanks guys!”
About: I've pet sat for dogs and cats of many family members and friends throughout my life and along with that I have a 14 year old dog I've taken care of my whole life. Currently working part-time but days are flexible so any days that are necessary I can change my schedule around that with enough of a warning ahead of time. I have no pets in my household so I can give full focus to your pet and have plenty of grass to walk them in.
“Jessica and her entire family were absolutely amazing! I've never left my dog Ginger with anyone aside from a close friend, so I was worried about her settling in somewhere new. My worries quickly disappeared on day one, when Jessica sent updates and photos of Ginger making herself at home. Ginger loved the entire family and was doted on by Jessica, her two wonderful children, and her husband. Jessica was very communicative throughout Ginger's stay and sent regular updates and photos. I cannot thank them enough for taking such great care of Ginger while I was gone and am thrilled she has a second home to go to whenever I'm away. Ginger will definitely be staying with Jessica and her family again!”
About: “I have experience pet sitting for friends and family, along with personally raising multiple dogs over the years. I’m familiar with daily care routines like feeding, walking, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I’ve also cared for small animals, including a hamster, so I understand the importance of gentle handling and attention to detail. I treat every pet like family and make sure they get plenty of love, patience, and care.” “I have a pretty open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, keep up with their routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and not alone. I’m also home in the evenings, so they’ll have consistent care throughout the day and night.” In my home, pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I have a large indoor area where pets can move around freely and comfortably, as well as a spacious back patio for supervised outdoor time. Pets will have access to regular potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, and there is a nearby dog park and walking trail for additional outdoor activity when appropriate. I provide cozy bedding, toys for enrichment, and treats (with owner approval). I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding routine and follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including dietary needs or restrictions. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine closely to help pets feel safe and maintain consistency in their environment. My priority is always to ensure pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for at all times.
“Madisyn did fantastic with our dog! This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. She kept us informed with lots of feedback and pictures. Our pup had a wonderful time with other dogs and came back happy. Highly recommend”
“Lynne and Chuck were both so kind and loving with our puppy Sophie. Lynne responded promptly to our messages and sent pictures and videos of our girl, which warmed our hearts while we were away from her. We also appreciated that they could accommodate a pick up and drop off since our schedules were very tight. Sophie came back to us a happy pup.”
About: I treat every paw friend with genuine concern, attention and love! Taking care of them how I’d want others to treat my little fur babies! I am currently a full time college student at the University of South FL Tampa campus! I can drop in 3x a day before / after my classes! I treat every clients home respectfully and carefully, making sure no one comes home to a dirtier or messier house than when they left !
