Overnight Pet Sitter
North Tampa Area: Lutz, Carrollwood, New Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes
The Role
Pet lovers wanted. Not for glory or glamour, but for the quiet kind of care that happens when families are away and pets still need comfort, routine, and someone they can trust.
At Woofie’s of Lutz, overnight pet sitting is personal. Clients invite us into their homes and trust us with their pets, routines, and peace of mind. We take that responsibility seriously while keeping our care calm, kind, and human.
We’re looking for a dependable Overnight Pet Sitter who genuinely enjoys simple, meaningful work: a peaceful home, a happy tail thump, a cat curled nearby, and the satisfaction of earning money while helping pets feel safe and loved.
What You’ll Do
You’ll stay overnight in clients’ homes and provide pets with comfort, companionship, safety, and routine while their families are away.
Responsibilities include:
- Staying overnight in clients’ homes and keeping pets safe, settled, and cared for
- Providing short daytime drop-in visits when needed to maintain routine
- Following detailed instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, crates, and medications
- Keeping pet areas tidy, including bowls, litter boxes, crates, and accidents when they happen
- Watching for changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or health
- Communicating promptly and professionally with the Woofie’s team
- Sending thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can relax while they’re away
Who You Are
You’re the kind of person pets trust quickly and humans trust even faster.
You may be a great fit if you:
- Have cared for animals personally or professionally
- Are dependable, observant, and detail-minded
- Are comfortable sleeping overnight in different homes
- Can handle the real-life parts of pet care, including messy moments
- Communicate clearly and follow instructions closely
- Show up when you say you will
- Enjoy quiet, meaningful work more than a noisy side hustle
Requirements
- Live in or near North Tampa, including Lutz, New Tampa, Carrollwood, Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes, or nearby areas
- Be available for overnight stays, including some weekends and holidays
- Be able to complete occasional daytime drop-in visits when needed
- Be comfortable caring for dogs and cats
- Experience with birds, reptiles, or other exotics is a bonus
- Provide three references
- Have a smartphone for updates, photos, scheduling, and communication
- Be willing to complete a background check
This Role Is Perfect For
- Remote workers, freelancers, or part-time employees with flexible schedules
- Retirees or empty nesters looking for meaningful, lower-stress work
- Someone who misses having pets and enjoys the companionship
- Responsible, nurturing people who naturally end up surrounded by animals
- Animal lovers who want flexible work that still feels important
What We Provide
- Paid background check
- Full liability coverage while providing services
- Referral bonuses for new client sign-ups
- Discounted care for your own pets
- Ongoing training and team support
- Flexible scheduling that works with your life
- A trusted local team behind you every step of the way
- Work that feels good when you head home
