30 Minute Walk ($35)

This is the best option if you have walkable pets and love the exercise a walk can provide. One of our carers will take your pet on a 30 minute walk to ensure they get to stretch those legs and enjoy the weather outdoors. Due to the Florida heat, we will always provide water and clean up after any messes that are made. If you're looking for a slightly longer walk for more exercise, consider booking our 60 minute walk!(+ $25 per extra pet for this service)
(+ 30 minutes for 60 minutes walk = $65)
($50/visit base holiday rate)
(Puppy, <1year, $50/visit)

30 Minute Drop In Visit ($30)

This is a 30-minute drop-in where we'll stop by your house for 30 minutes to let your animals out, feed them, pet them, play with them, or do whatever you dictate we need to do during this allotted time! (We are comfortable administering medication!) Please note if you have multiple animals or you'd like us to do a fair amount of tasks, you may want to select the hour-long drop-in option so we can get everything done in a timely manner and still hang out with your furbabies! Cats and dogs charged the same amount.(+ $25 per extra adult pet for this service)
(+ 30 minutes for 60 minute drop in = $65)
(Puppy, <1year, $50/visit)

Overnight Housesitting - In Your Home! ($100)

This service means we will stay in your home while you're away in order to care for your pets and to make sure everything is purrfect when you get back. Our main focus is on your furbabies, their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and attended to while being able to stay in their own space. We believe that is super important and this is much more personalized than dropping them off at a kennel. We are comfortable making any accommodations or providing medication for your pets as well. Small services such as bringing in mail are included free of cost.(Additional adult dog, + $75/night)
(Holiday rate, $125/night)
(Puppy, <1year, $125/night)
(Cat care, $80/night, additional cat +$50/night)*Extended Stay Care: We will charge this rate if we have to stay later than 12PM the day you return; if we only have to stay 2-3 hours later, we will charge you 50% of the nightly rate. If we have to stay 3+ hours later, we will charge 100% of the nightly rate.

Teddy Bear Pet Care has looked after my senior cat for nearly a year. They are reliable, kind, and professional! I couldn’t recommend them enough!
-- Rylee F. 2024These guys have been phenomenal! Grayson comes by weekly and walks both of my pitbulls and they absolutely ADORE him! He has also house sat with both of them for a week in April and everything was so smooth. He sent me multiple pictures a day and made the process way easier than I expected! Great team here and I’m excited to continue using Teddy Bear Pet Care for a very veryyyy long time 🩷🫶🏼
-- Rocky M. 2024

Wonderful pet sitter! As a professional pet sitter myself, I am extremely selective about who cares for my dog, so finding the right in-home pet sitter was crucial. After interviewing Grayson from Teddy Bear Pet Care and conducting a meet and greet, I felt very confident scheduling overnight pet sitting in my home. During the stay, Grayson was incredibly communicative, providing frequent updates and photos, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip, knowing my dog was in good hands.
My dog, who is usually cautious of new people, warmed up to Grayson quickly and was even wagging her tail when he returned to the house by the second day—a big deal for her! Grayson followed all my care instructions and ensured my dog was always comfortable. I highly recommend Teddy Bear Pet Care for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter in the St. Pete area.

Grayson did a fantastic job with our two senior cats, one of whom requires medication. It was a very positive experience for our cats and us. I can’t recommend him highly enough.-- Jane P. 2023Grayson was very responsible, reliable and accomodating! He also was cheerful and communicative and appeared to take great care of our cats. We'd happily use him again!
-- Virginia P. 2023Such a great experience. Sent lots of pictures and kept me well informed while I was away. My pup is a senior with some issues and he was incredible with her. Could not have asked for a better experience.
-- Shalon F. 2023I really can’t say enough about Grayson. He was absolutely amazing!! I was very anxious about going away from my dog because he’s my baby, and Grayson did a phenomenal job with Bleu. He did everything in his power to reassure me the whole weekend, he constantly sent me photos, updates, videos, and more of Bleu. For the first time, I didn’t have any anxiety because I knew he was in good hands. And I knew my dog truly bonded with him because he was SO HAPPY in every photo!! Not to mention I loved how professional Grayson was, from the thank you card he left on my counter, to the clipboard and business card he brought for the interview. If you are reading this or looking at Graysons profile, give him a shot and I promise you will NOT regret it. As an obsessed dog mom, it meant the world to me how above and beyond he went for us. I will not let anyone besides Grayson watch my dog!! Thank you!!!! ❤️ ❤️
-- Christina C. 2023

Grayson was absolutely AMAZING! He watched our 2 70lb and 80lb pitbulls for a week at my apartment and constantly gave updates throughout each day with a TON of pictures! 😊 my pups are so sad now that he’s gone. He gave them so much love 🥰 He also left my apartment spotless and was very respectful! He is super friendly and you can tell he adores animals of any kind! Will be using him again!
-- Rocky M. 2024Grayson is the truly the best. Patient, kind, flexible and loved by our sometimes unruly pup. Can’t wait to re-book in future!
-- Cherina 2024Amazing people who bend over backwards to make it happen. Can not recommend them enough.
-- Bruce M. 2024I just used Grayson for the first time with my 50lb Red Heeler rescue and it was a great experience! Im always nervous with new sitters because my dog tends to be weary and anxious meeting new people. Grayson was patient with my dog at first, but after 5min or so they quickly became best friends. Grayson was punctual, responsive, and very professional! We will be using him again!
-- Daniel B. 2023As we suspected from the first visit, Grayson was a perfect fit for our two cats. By the second visit they were obviously very comfortable with him. The photos are proof. We joked that they liked him more than they liked us. I would not hesitate in booking Grayson for when we travel, nor would I hesitate to recommend him.
-- John R. 2023Grayson is outstanding. Overall wonderful service! Super professional, and took care of my dogs with total care as if they were his own. Will book again!
