Bamboo Pet Sitting

Bamboo Pet Sitting provides cage-free dog boarding and in-home pet care in Tampa, FL, with dogs staying in a sitter's house rather than a kennel building. The same team also travels to client homes for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. That setup suits dogs that settle better on a living room floor than in a run, and pets that do best not leaving home at all.

What they offer

• Cage-free boarding in a sitter's home, with outdoor space for potty breaks and play
• In-home pet sitting visits seven days a week
• Overnight house sitting sleepovers in the client's own home
• Dog walking, midday potty breaks, and dog park excursions
• Transportation to the vet, groomer, or daycare

How the care works

Because boarding happens in a home, a dog keeps something close to a normal routine: a yard, household noise, people nearby. Medication administration is part of the service, which matters for senior dogs and any pet on a daily dose. Care is not limited to dogs either. The team also looks after cats, birds, reptiles, chickens, and aquariums, so a household with several species can use one sitter.

Updates come through a GPS-tracked visit app. Owners get a notification when the sitter arrives, a note on what was done, and photos from the visit.

Practical details for Tampa owners

Booking is by phone at 813-508-7387, and the business also lists steph@bamboopetsitting.com for questions. Vaccinations must be current before a dog boards. Pickup and drop-off is available, so a dog can be collected the day an owner leaves and brought back before they return. For owners who would rather their pet stay put, the overnight house sitting option puts a sitter in the client's home instead.
