“Other than our miscommunication about the arrival time (it was our first time having Ryan stay with the kids) he took great care of our Big Easy & Winnie! Thank you 🩵”

“I’ve booked Zach twice for house sitting with my three dogs, and I am completely blown away by his excellent service. I have a cane corso, a rotty, and pittie, so they are quite large, and they love when he comes over. I’ve had several sitters cancel, because they get overwhelmed with three, but not Zach. He also goes above and beyond and leaves the space spotless. I tell him I’ll clean up after I come back, but it’s not in his character to not go above and beyond. Even the trash was taken out. I’m like, how are you real?! Lol Highly recommend.”

“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”

“Rhoda was wonderful with my boy Benny! He clearly was content and happy, she communicated with texts & photos regularly & took great care of all while house sitting. Will definitely request her again!”

“From the meet n greet to dog sitting for the week, Jordan was fantastic. She kept me up to date on the dogs daily activities, she sent many pics/videos and they looked super happy and content. She did everything as promised... It was a great experience. I felt very secure in her abilities to take care of my two 90lb dogs! I could tell my dogs loved her as well :) Thank you Jordan!~”

“As always Ronnie has been amazing! I will not book with anyone else because my babies are always happy when I get home. Ronnie goes over and above and sends updates everyday throughout the day!”

“Payton was amazing. Kept me updated on Kylo throughout his time sitting. Was very kind and obviously is a huge dog lover. I will definitely be using his services again!”

“Karen is phenomenal! She took such great care of our dog while we were gone for 5 days. She provided us with fantastic communication, very trustworthy, kind and fantastic with pets! We highly recommended Karen 😁”

“Outstanding. It is hard to find a person to trust with your home, but I give this individual five stars without reservation. Highly recommend.”

“Sydney is great! My almost 16 year old, medically complex, dog was in good hands with her. Sydney was able to provide wound care and medication management for Zoey and took great care of our home. We will definitely be booking Sydney again.”

About: Lots of availability and flexible! I have been pet sitting animals of all ages, sizes, species, and breeds for 20 years. I grew up in an animal loving family and currently have 3 cats and a dog of my own. I can handle small dogs and huge dogs, and know how to care for skittish, overactive, and reactive pets. I will treat you babies like my own. I am experienced in giving medicine, wound care, nail cutting, light grooming, and training/reinforcement for dogs and cats. I have grooming supplies on hand and my animals are great with others if socialization is an important part of your pet’s care. I have rescued and fostered numerous animals over the years who I have found forever homes for, and I have a great relationship with local vets. Experience watching cats, dogs (no weight max, I am very comfortable with large dogs), geckos, bearded dragons, ball pythons, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, fish, turtles, hermit crabs, and open to any others! Currently a graduate student at USF so I have a lot of flexible availability during the week that’d I’d love to carve out for your fur baby! I’m a graduate student with a very predictable schedule so I’ll be able to carve out regular and predictable time for your pets which is essential for building a good relationship. I’m able to visit your pet multiple times a day, and I spend an ample amount of time on enrichment (mental and physical) as well as just regular feedings. I live in a house in a very walkable area of town near a lot of parks, and a short driving distance from a couple dog parks. I have a fenced in yard that I can bring your dog to have play dates with my dog if that’s something your dog would enjoy. I have three dog-friendly and cat-friendly cats in my home as well. I play with my animals at least 20 minutes three times a day and try to play with client’s pets for 20min every time I visit as well!
“Katherine was the BEST! She house sat Wiley, my 2 year old pit bull, for several days while I was away. She kept me updated with texts and photos of Wiley. Katherine took Wiley on hikes and several park play sessions throughout each day. When I arrived home, the house was just as we left it and Wiley was a very happy pup. I highly recommend Katherine's services. She is wonderful!”

“Second time hiring Parker, and he's great. He handled taking care of our house and three dogs (including a JRT puppy) extremely well. I would recommend Parker to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter.”
