She paid attention to all the little details and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would 100% recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Michelle and her family were absolutely amazing.. If I was a fur baby like Chevy, I too wouldn't want to leave!

“Angela took an amazing care of our two kitties while we were away. It was very reassuring to know that they were in good hands and it also definitely helped with the guilt of leaving them alone while we traveled. We’ll definitely reach out to Angela the next time we need someone to check on the cats and we strongly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a reliable, trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Tamara did a fantastic job. She kept in constant contact during visits. Asked questions about my kitties peculiarities to make sure nothing was wrong and sent great pics.”

“Jennifer stepped in with less than 24 hours' notice when another sitter bailed on us just before our trip; she did a great job keeping us informed about our kittens. Plus she takes nice photos!”
About: Cats have always held a special place in my heart. I’m the proud owner of two rescue cats, Alfredo and Mac, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them at their pace while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving plenty of attention (or space!) based on what your cat prefers. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rachel was wonderful to work with and took exceptional care of our cats. She provided updates every day, went above and beyond with their care, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend booking with Rachel!”
“I returned home today and everything seems to be good. I was happy Jax was able to warm up to Christina so quickly. I have another tripped lined up next year. If Christina is available, I would love to have her again. Thank you so much.”
“Sydney was absolutely amazing with my two cats this past weekend! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and usually keeps to herself, while the other is super lovable and craves attention. Sydney was great with both—patient and gentle with my shy cat, and affectionate and engaging with my social one. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“We always feel so at ease on our trips when our 2 kitties are in Emma’s care. She has a very calming presence that makes ones of our shy cats really come out of her shell. Fantastic work as always! 🌟”
About: I have always had a pup or cat in my life. So I have always had the honor to take care of many dogs ranging from big to small young and old. Having the opportunity to have such loving companions is truly amazing. The way I care and love for my animals is the way I would care for yours, from of my own experience with sassy pugs to calm and collected pit bull terrier and a sly lazy black cat I sure know how to handle many pet personalities and know how to accommodate to every need they have and I am willing to do the same for your companion too. I have a very flexible schedule/ hours I am available from 8am- 5pm all throughout the week, but if emergencies happen after hours don’t be afraid to reach out! If giving opportunity I would care and love for you pet as I do mine. I can’t wait to meet/ play with your companion. YAY🎉
“Christian has been amazing with my two dogs. He is very detailed oriented and makes sure that he checks all the boxes of care before he leaves for the day. My dogs have definitely taken to him. Christian is reliable and trustworthy, and I look forward to continually working with him.”
About: I've owned and taken care of pets of all kinds for 50 years. I'm easy going and will love your babies as my own. I have 2 sons, 4 grandkids, 2 dogs, and 1 parrot! I'm currently a retired, trustworthy grandma with wide availability. I like to stay busy, so I've been house and pet sitting through word of mouth for friends and family for years. I love animals so this has been a great fit for my post-retirement (42years) from the Hillsborough county school system. I am available on short notice 7 days a week. I'm happy to help keep your fur babies routine and make them as comfortable and safe as possible. I'm comfortable giving medication, walks, and plenty of play time.
“Abigail is professional, kind, and so good with Tato. He clearly loved her! And her communication with me while I was gone was excellent! I’ll happily have her care for Tato again!”
“Madison was awesome. My cats ran out of food while we were away so she offered to pick up a bag of food for us- she truly cared to take care of them. It’s tough to leave your loved ones with others but I would highly recommend Madison!”
About: I believe pet sitting is more than just stopping by for a visit. Every pet is cared for with patience, attention, and the same love I would give my own. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, send regular photo and text updates so you always know how they’re doing, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel right at home until you return. Pet care is a part of my daily routine, not just my work schedule. I plan my days around my clients’ visits to ensure every pet receives reliable, on-time care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays, I maintain a consistent schedule so pets can stick to their normal routine. Caring for animals is my full commitment, and I take pride in being dependable for both pets and their owners. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. During every visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions if needed, receive plenty of attention and affection, and have the opportunity to go potty and get some exercise. Dog walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort, while drop-in visits include playtime, companionship, and any other care you’ve requested. I also provide photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Valrico
“Alissa was great! (Thank you😉) drop off and pick up were a breeze and Charli was in great spirits upon pick up. Alissa sent pics during the day and I felt at ease seeing she was in good hands. I will definitely book with Alissa again.”
“Skye has been wonderful with our Buddy. I think he has had the time of his life playing and running with the other dogs. I appreciate being able to go on my Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary trip to France and know my Buddy was well cared for. I received pictures of Buddy while I was gone which made me smile. My daughter referred Skye to us originally. Skye takes care of her Great Dane, Molly. I had arranged for another Rover.com sitter to watch Buddy originally, but she had a last minute medical emergency. Skye stepped right in to take care of Buddy. What a relief. Skye always greats us with a big bright smile which helps relieve the anxiety I feel leaving my dog. I can’t say enough good things about Skye. Thank you Skye.”
“I had a great experience with Rebecca. She was very thorough in explaining her process and showing me exactly where my dog would be kept. You could immediately tell she truly cares about dogs and is a genuine dog lover. I felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Lina is great with Morgan! He has just started with her and we can tell he likes her. He is happy to see her and her puppies every morning. She reports his daily activities (eating, potty, playtime). She sends photos and videos and texts us updates through out the day. It's great to see how he is doing through the day! When we pick him up he falls asleep in the car on the way home, we know he has had a good day!! We are Very happy with Lina!”
“Excellent experience for Rem and Charlie our pups. Very attentive sitter, sent lots of updates and pictures. Thank you so much for doing such a great job on short notice.”
“My dog, Harlan, is a rescue we've had for a year. We recently had an event at our house that included over 30 adults and children who he has never met. I decided a pet sitter. Was a good option. Harlan was very nervous when we got to Christopher's house., but Christopher gained his trust quickly. A feat still not accomplished by friends Harlan knows well. Would definitely recommend.”
“Nattalie was very kind and gentle with Bella. She sent me video and pictures with updates. Bella got along with her pup. I will definitely have Bella stay with Nattalie again.”
“I was so worried leaving Gracie for the first time with someone. She is 4 months old and has tons of Australian Shepherd puppy energy. She definitely wears me out! Angie eased my mind when I got to her house and I saw how well her own babies were taken care of. Gracie absolutely loved her and looked so happy when I picked her up. Angie sent pictures and videos all day and Gracie had a blast playing with her two pups. When I picked Gracie up, she was excited to greet me, and after greeting me, she ran back up to Angie to give her love and kisses. That showed me how much she loved her! She is highly recommended.”
“So awesome! Dominique communicates well. Send pictures, very understanding! And interacts with my dog. He love her so much. Try’s to jump and hug her every time he sees her and her husband. The best part is he comes home tried!!! Best sitter you could ask for. BOOK WITH HER!”
About: I grew up in a place where I took care of many types of animals, especially cats and dogs. I am very loving and affectionate. I am currently working from home, so I have almost all day to walk and play with your pet. I have a very large yard where they can run around without being in danger on the streets. I take care of them from my home. I have a very large yard where they can play and run around a bit, and a porch where they can get some fresh air without getting dirty.
“This was Taffy's first time having a sitter. Tea and her family did a great job making Taffy feel at home. I was sent pictures of her day and how she was doing. They were so nice and caring. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry friend.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly love and take pride in. I regularly care for multiple dogs and understand the importance of keeping each pet safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I carefully follow every pet parent’s instructions,( I ask that you provide a written copy with there stuff upon drop off) We provide plenty of attention and playtime, and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because they are never alone, someone is always home and available to give each pet plenty of attention. I plan my days around feeding, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and each pet’s individual needs, so they always receive dependable care and lots of love. Meet and greets are limited to 15 minutes. Please arrive on time for all meet and greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups, as frequent late arrivals affect my schedule. Late arrivals may need to be shortened or rescheduled. Thank you for understanding! We are extremely flexible and will work with you. We just ask that you understand we make our pet visitors as comfortable as we can, and some pet visitors dont do well with meet and greets. (We dont want pet visitors that are staying feeling overwhelmed.)During meet and greets we will put all pet visitors away in separate bedrooms to insure they all stay safe. As safety is our TOP priority. We thank you for understanding 🙏 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and use dog gates when needed to keep everyone safe and comfortable. We do use crates for bedtime to insure the safety of all pet visitors. We do watch some without crates. And use gates to keep all safe throughout the night.
“This is the first time I have used a dog sitter for my 12 year old dog who is wary of strangers. She seemed perfectly relaxed at doggy day care for 3 hours and came out happily wagging her tail when Violeger brought her out to my car. I plan to use her again next month when I will be out of town for 4 days.”
“Just wonderful! Ivy will literally play fetch until she croaks and unfortunately some people find it annoying when she keeps tossing her toys at them, but Stephanie said her kids absolutely loved playing fetch with her 🩷 when I picked her up, she fell asleep in the car on our 15 minute drive home which means she got all of her energy out which I’m thankful for! Will schedule again in the future 🥰”

About: For as long as I can remember I've had pets. My family during my childhood were huge animal lovers. I've had tiny dogs ranging from a chiuahuah to German breed Rottweilers. I have an 18, 15, and 5 year old. I do assure you that my children don't climb or rough play with the animals. I respect boundaries and they are very aware. I can provide 1 dog walk during an over night or doggy day care. I'm fairly active and we live in a calm neighborhood perfect for walks. I'm home 90% of the day unless I need to run an errand or to drop my kids off at school. So my schedule is pretty flexible. Our large fenced in backyard provides a safe environment for your pet. Allowing them to run and get some fresh air if needed. Also, easier for me to get the animals in an out in a controlled environment. I have a huge fenced in yard. We also have a pool, but I can be sure if you are worried to be attentive while on potty breaks. And we own our home so no issues with renters. Expect your pet to be cuddled and loved, but keeping in mind not to over stimulate the animal..
About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.

About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a full time job M-F from 9-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.

About: I have had so many opportunities to take care of fur babies throughout my life! I lived in a farm for most of it but as an adult I have had my dog all through college up until now. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet the attention they need. I enjoy spending time outdoors and love making sure every fur baby gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to keep that routine consistent while you're away. During visits, I'll provide fresh food and water, take your pet on walks or let them out for potty breaks, play with them, give them plenty of love and attention, and clean up after them as needed. I'll also make sure your home is respected and secure by following any instructions you leave. My goal is to help your fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life — three of them, all with different personalities and needs — so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I originally went to school for veterinary medicine before changing my major, but that never changed the love I have for furry friends. Walking dogs is peaceful and therapeutic for me, and I’m excited to finally turn this into a hobby and a service I can share with others. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simple companionship. I’m able to adjust easily to each pet’s needs, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. My goal is always to match the rhythm they’re used to and give them the same level of care and comfort they receive with you. My home has a screened lanai with a pool that is not fenced in, and I also have stairs inside the house. The main areas are tile flooring, with carpeted bedrooms for comfort. I keep fresh water bowls easily accessible throughout the home since I have dogs of my own. I’m always mindful of each pet’s safety and make sure the environment matches their needs, energy level, and mobility.
About: Over 25 years experience raising my own personal dogs and caring for my families dogs along the way. I enjoy giving dogs love and care, exercise & indoor/outdoor enrichment. Currently accepting small dogs excluding aggressive breeds unless they are puppies, for sitting, drop-ins & walking, weather permitting. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am retired and available Mon. - Fri. excluding major holidays for sitting, walking & drop- ins. after a meet & greet. I love spending time with animals. I can walk your dog, drop-in to feed & provide water, medication if necessary or sit in your home for short periods. I can also brush your dog and provide enrichment during an extended stay.
About: I believe pet sitting is more than just stopping by for a visit. Every pet is cared for with patience, attention, and the same love I would give my own. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and personality, send regular photo and text updates so you always know how they’re doing, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel right at home until you return. Pet care is a part of my daily routine, not just my work schedule. I plan my days around my clients’ visits to ensure every pet receives reliable, on-time care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, evening feedings, or overnight stays, I maintain a consistent schedule so pets can stick to their normal routine. Caring for animals is my full commitment, and I take pride in being dependable for both pets and their owners. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible. During every visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed according to your instructions if needed, receive plenty of attention and affection, and have the opportunity to go potty and get some exercise. Dog walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and comfort, while drop-in visits include playtime, companionship, and any other care you’ve requested. I also provide photo and text updates after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Hello all! I currently work from home and have all the time to pay close attention to the care of your beloved family member. I grew up in a show dog home and to this day I still help my family at dog shows around the state. I used to be a veterinary technician so I can care for pets who are on a strict routine. I play very close attention to routines, and give a bunch of pets and love. From puppies to seniors or docile to rambunctious. I can handle them all. Your beloved family member will be in good hands with me. I also know how to do a bit of grooming. Say if you needed bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning or all of the above. I would love to care for your lovely family member. Thank you so very much for your consideration. I work full time remote from the comfort of my own home. I am very thankful to be able to have as much time as I can with my own personal pets and those of others. Animals are my passion. I studied animal science/zoology in the university of Florida and was a veterinary technician for 5 years. I strive to give every animal the amount of love I give my own.
