“This was our second time leaving Oscar with CeCe, and he had an awesome time again! I loved getting daily videos of him playing with his friends while we were away. Thank you, CeCe, for taking such wonderful care of Oscar and always going above and beyond. We appreciate you so much! ❤️”
“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!”
“Rocky enjoyed his stay with Haley, I highly recommend leaving your pet with her!!! She was very good responding back to my messages and also sending me updates/pictures of my boy while we were away. 🙂✨”
“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!”
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Maxine, the incredible pet sitter at your facility, for taking such amazing care of my fur baby, Charlie. Maxine went above and beyond, providing exceptional care and great updates throughout Charlie’s stay. I highly recommend Maxine to any pet owner seeking top-notch care. Thank you, Maxine, for your love and dedication!”
“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.”
“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 made the weekend wonderful. 5 stars! No...make that 10 stars!”
“Quavo had the best time! Elena was super polite and kept us in the loop with frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. You could tell Quavo felt right at home with them and had the best time with Coco. The cute bandana at pickup was a very sweet touch. We’d happily book again and recommend her to anyone nearby! 🐾”
“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!”
“Kory did an awesome job sitting our 2 dogs for the day. He even sent a photo and made sure they were prepped for pick up. We are excited to book with him again soon!”
“Nicole was great! She sent me pics during the time we were gone and I could see how happy my pup was. Her space was perfect. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Madisyn was so easy and great to work with! Knox had an amazing time and he was so wiped when I got him! She even sent him home with a bandana!!”
“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!”
“"She was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was traveling to Tampa. She is very caring, loving, and responsible. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. When I came back, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!"”
“Lynne and her husband were amazing with our boy Max! They were attentive to his health condition and helped administer his medication with no issues. I was kept updated often with pictures and messages. They were very responsive and took excellent care of our pup! He seemed to love his time there as well and made himself right at home. We look forward to using Lynne as a dependable sitterr in the future! Thanks again!”
“Catherine was so sweet! She was very prompt in responding to my questions and flexible when my return flight was delayed. My dog had a wonderful time with her and will be visiting again soon!”
“Virginia was a WONDERFUL sitter—if I could give more than 5 stars I would! ⭐️ This was my first time using Rover, but won’t be my last! I expressed my anxieties of being away from Bij on a work trip, and she eased them all. I got regular and often updates—she truly treated and loved Bij as if he were her own. And her fur baby is just as precious—Cozy and Bijou became best friends! From letting him sleep in a bigger bed, to sharing all Cozy’s toys, to regular walks and playing all the fetch he could handle—Bijou was on a vacation! Virginia is kind and communicative, and I will happily be booking with her again! ❤️”
“Perfect! Very communicative, send updates and pictures everyday and perfect location, our dog had separation anxiety at the beginning but she managed to calm her down. Highly 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!”

“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 ??”
“Great, thoughtful service! Thanks for taking care of my cats and home while I'm away, from dragging heavy, sometimes wet boxes in to keeping things tidy and providing love to my pets. I appreciate everything you do!”
About: Throughout my entire life I’ve taken care of all types of animals big and small, from neighbors Great Danes to family rabbits, I’m able to handle animals of all shapes and sizes and look forward to meeting your pet no matter the animal! ♡ I do work part time at Outback Steakhouse and also do pet care to help pay for all of my bills due to this I’m more busy on the weekends and tend to struggle booking around then but I will do my best to accommodate and be flexible for your fur and furless babies!!! In the past I have had animals that were both inside and outside as well as animals who were muzzle, and crate trained meaning I have experience handling both as well as experience walking a variety of dogs. Currently I live with my cat Nugget who I handle all daily care for!
“Thank you Samantha for taking care of our cat! We miss him so much, but we’re relieved to know he was checked on and taken care of! We will book you again next time we need to travel!”
“Tina is awesome! My cat loved her and she sent me pics of him and updates while I was gone which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and would rebook if I leave town again. 😊”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for my entire life and currently have three cats of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’ve also cat-sat for neighbors and have experience caring for cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering lots of playtime and attention, and making sure your cat stays happy and comfortable while you’re away. I know that every cat is different, so I always take the time to follow their routine and make them feel safe and loved. I’ll care for your cat as if they were one of my own and keep you updated along the way for your peace of mind.
“This is our first time using Rover and we are very pleased with everything. Chloe was very professional and friendly, from the first meet and greet, to the daily check-ins. Chloe posted great photos so we could see our cat was happy and well fed. We are already planning to book Chloe for our next vacation.”
“I would highly recommend Rachel! I felt very at easy allowing her in my home and taking care of my pets. She was very kind and loving to my two cats while I was away on vacation. She communicated well when there was a need and left my home just the way I left it!”
“Jordan did a great job with our kitties! We were nervous about going away for first time but they were both happy when we got back and well taken care of. Thank you Jordan! We hope to book again!”
“Bekah has gone above and beyond to take care of my girls. She did a very important favor for me last minute, that really helped me in a tough situation while I was out of town. I recommend Bekah to watch anyone’s pet, she’s a pro!”
“Isabel was amazing. She came over to meet my cats before I left and they were instantly in love with her, which is not their norm. Usually, my older cat is skittish and standoffish, but he loved her immediately. She took such amazing care of them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I came home to no anxiety from my cats, which is super rare. 11/10. My partner and I are going to call her every time we leave town.”
“In short, hire Beth to watch your fur babies! We have a picky cat who does not like to be alone at night, so Beth took her into her home for a week while we were out of town. She sent photos daily and really bonded with her. Her home is super clean and tidy and I could tell that she cared for our girl as if she was her own. Personally, I worry about everything but did not have one moment of worry for our cat while we were away. Beth stuck to the cat's normal schedule and let her go out on the balcony for a bit during the day when it was not too hot. Beth was professional from the first moment I messaged her and was kind enough to come to our home and do a meet and greet. We will have her watch our cat and also our dog again in the future.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, my parents would be at work most of the day so I would take my dogs for walks, feed them, and take care of them. I am committed to creating a nurturing and safe environment for every dog under my care, treating them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their furry friends receive the highest level of attention and love! I am a senior at George Mason University and have full availability! If I don't send pictures over the Rover app, I send them directly over text:) I follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with each pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, reducing any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence.

“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.”

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.
“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.”
“Pamela was fantastic!!! She was flexible with pick up / dropoff times. Very communicative. Sent updates on Oscar throughout the night and included a very detailed report at the end. Highly recommend, we hope to see you again soon 🥰”
“My boys had such a blast while they were there, I could tell they were tired when I picked them up, and they were already trying to go back in when we were leaving!! It’s always so hard to find a sitter who sends you thoughtful updates and cute pictures, but I am so happy with how their visit went. Thank you so much to Qian and her family for taking care of our babies!!”

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.

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.

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.

I know firsthand how much our pets become part of the family. I understand what it’s like to treat your fur baby like your own child and want them to receive the same love, attention, and care you would give them yourself. I absolutely love giving pets lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and of course, plenty of love. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! You can expect lots of updates, photos, and a calm and attentive home environment.

“Haley was awesome..... she was ready and waiting for me when I dropped off the dogs and picked them up. She gave me all kinds of feedback on the dogs and it looks like they got PLENTY of exercise... the pictures and videos were great! My dogs are going back to her this evening and through the weekend and I'm very they will be with someone that I trust and know she will take care of my pups.”

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.
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.

I’m very mindful about keeping doors and windows secure and making sure there aren’t things around that could be harmful to them.🤍🐈
“An absolute God-send! I live about 3 hours away and was coming to town for an event. Summer met me at Ulta to take my dog while I got my hair and make up done. Because I went to the wrong Ulta, i was late and she was so accommodating (I communicated for her, so do the same!). She even helped me keep my appointment there while she waited for my dog and I. My dog came back tail wagging and so happy she got to play ALL the fetch!!! Couldn’t recommend her more.”

“Johnny is the best! He treats our dogs like his own and is communicative, trustworthy, and kind. He is a pleasure to work with. We are so glad we found him to do drop ins for us, and cannot recommend him enough!”
“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!”
“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. It was clear that she treated Honey like her own dog and genuinely cared about her comfort and happiness. I’m so grateful to have found Kelsey and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate dog walker.”
“Elizabeth was able to help me out when both my primary and back-up dog walkers were both out of town. Always on time and sent good updates. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Parker was so wonderful and really helped out in a pinch. She came through when our other walker fell through and ended up being so much better. She is sweet and thoughtful and so responsible with our boy. Will definitely seek her services again and would highly recommend her for any kind of pet care you need.”
“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 grown up with dogs/cats and have taken care of my neighbors or friends dogs for weeks at a time. I have extensive experience caring for dogs/cats, ranging from energetic pets to sweet senior pets. I’m good at managing them and attentive at reading their body language. I have been a passionate animal lover for over 16 years. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur babies. I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I also volunteer at the humane society to be able to walk dogs. I work remote Mondays, Fridays, and sometimes Wednesdays, so your pet gets constant attention and frequent potty breaks. The days I don't work remote, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and sometimes Wednesdays, I am available in the evenings. You can reach out to me last minute and I can do my best to be available. I am available on the weekends unless noted on my calendar. When outside, your pet will always be securely leashed. I do not do off-leash walks or visit public dog parks unless explicitly requested and approved by you. My home is completely pet-proofed, with no exposed hazards and always keep doors secure. If you like your dogs crated at night I can do that as well. I also have one roommates who can also keep watch them if I ever have to run errands. I have a sweet resident cat who is very used to other animals. However, for total safety and comfort, I have plenty of space and can easily keep my cat in a completely separate room during your pet's stay. You will receive daily text and photo updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing, eating, and playing!
“Highly recommend! Sam took great care of my dog, was reliable, communicative, and so friendly. I really appreciated the updates and photos. My dog came home happy every time!”

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.

“Rocky enjoyed his stay with Haley, I highly recommend leaving your pet with her!!! She was very good responding back to my messages and also sending me updates/pictures of my boy while we were away. 🙂✨”
“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.”
“Quavo had the best time! Elena was super polite and kept us in the loop with frequent updates and photos, which we really appreciated. You could tell Quavo felt right at home with them and had the best time with Coco. The cute bandana at pickup was a very sweet touch. We’d happily book again and recommend her to anyone nearby! 🐾”
“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!”
“Kory did an awesome job sitting our 2 dogs for the day. He even sent a photo and made sure they were prepped for pick up. We are excited to book with him again soon!”
“Madisyn was so easy and great to work with! Knox had an amazing time and he was so wiped when I got him! She even sent him home with a bandana!!”
“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!”
“Lynne and her husband were amazing with our boy Max! They were attentive to his health condition and helped administer his medication with no issues. I was kept updated often with pictures and messages. They were very responsive and took excellent care of our pup! He seemed to love his time there as well and made himself right at home. We look forward to using Lynne as a dependable sitterr in the future! Thanks again!”
“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.”
“Matt watched Luna for 10 nights while my family and I traveled for the holidays. Luna was well taken care of and came home happy and healthy. We would definitely consider using Matt again for overnight pet sitting.”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She provided frequent updates and made sure Ghost was well taken care of. He had such a great time and even made a new best friend with Rory! I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia and her family were AMAZING! She sent lots of pics and videos to keep me updated during my dog’s stay and made sure he was a happy camper all weekend long :) will absolutely be rebooking with her and would recommend to everyone!”
“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!”
“Brian and his family were everything I wished for in taking care of my Lady for 9 days. It was our first time away from each other. Brian sent pictures every day and I could see how happy Lady was. It was such a relief. We will travel more now that Lady has a “second” home. Thank you so much Brian!”
“J’akeecia watched my dog while I was out of town and did an awesome job. Super easy to communicate with, sent me updates without me even asking. She was super reliable, and took great care of my pup. Pics walks, zero stress. Definitely recommend!”
“Allie was super easy to schedule with and took great care of our little furball! She sent daily photos and check ins which was amazing. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
