Pet Sitting Ballast Point

“Emory and Quinn are the absolute sweetest! They took such good care of my sweet puppy. Lots of pictures and updates, and they were great communicators through the whole process! Will definitely be rebooking when I need some help in the future.”

“First meeting with Naomi. She was great and very comfortable around our 1-yr old lab, Sawyer. We live in a condo and we showed her around including the dog park and went over building guidelines. A good visit and we look forward to her caring for Sawyer in the future.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was about for about 7 years for neighbors and friends. I have also walked my elderly neighbor's dog for them when they were unable to. I am currently working full time but I love to go on long walks in my spare time! I enjoy being outside and meeting new fur babies. Depending on how you request, I could meet you at your front door or come into your home to retrieve your fur baby to take them on a walk. I do understand that living in Florida where is mostly hot and humid and some dogs cannot handle the heat or become exhausted easily. However long you request to have your dog walked I will bring a water bowl for your pet to stay hydrated. :) I am currently working full time but I am trying to open up my schedule more by the end of summer. But I am currently available on the weekends and some days during the week. I can be flexible to just message me and I will let you know! Walking your dog around your neighborhood where your fur baby is familiar is important to me! I will make sure your fur baby has plenty of water and time to enjoy themselves on our walk. For drop ins I will sit with your baby as long as is needed. Making sure they get cuddles, stimulation, meds, and just some human time.

About: I've grown up around pets and taken care of pets from friends, neighbors, and family. I am dedicated to treating your pets as my own! I currently take college classes online and work part-time, so I can ensure that I can provide your pets with whatever time they may need. I have had pets my whole life, so I am patient and consistent, and definitely not a stranger to playtime, cuddles, walks, baths, and feeding schedules.

“Silvana was wonderful. I received daily pictures and updates and came home to happy cats. I was very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care and would highly recommend her for pet sitting needs.”

About: Hey there! I have tons of experience taking care of a variety of dogs, cats and reptiles! My home is always the go to for pet care when my friends and family are out of town! I love all pets and I’m always careful to make sure to follow directions, ask questions if needed, and give your pet the best care needed! I work in another county so I’m available early in the morning and anytime after noon. There are some days I am driving around Tampa for work so I can always pop in! My schedule can be flexible so if you need me available, let me know! I am currently saving for my wedding so I will always try to take on extra if I can! I care for pets the same way I care for my own. I always try to make sure any pets in my care are always given a healthy and safe environment while enjoying some exercise and of course, lots of love and treats!

“Amazing as always! Alexandra is super reliable, goes above and beyond and I’m very happy I met her. Thank you for taking care of my wild child Bosty Boys!”

About: What sets us apart is that your dog becomes part of a real, active family home—not just a boarding situation. With a structured daily routine, lots of attention, and a home full of care, we treat every dog like they belong with us. Your pup won’t be left alone in a quiet kennel environment—they’ll be included in family life, walks, and consistent companionship. Someone is almost always home too so you know your baby is in constant care. I am a preschool teacher and am off summer and holiday breaks. I work mornings and am only a 60 second walk from the church I work at so am available to come home quickly! We have watched many, many dogs for friends and family in past and now with the kids of age to work and the love of dogs we’re expanding! I am a preschool teacher at my church that is a 60 second walk from my house, I also have teenage triplets who both babysit and dog sit (they love to do both), so someone is always home and available for walks, feedings, and love. The triplets are very active sports wise so having our own dog in this season isn’t an option so we love any and all opportunities to have one in our home, it is such a blessing! We have a wonderful, quiet street near Bayshore perfect for walking. Most of the people on our street our retired with dogs so dogs are the children around here! Having three teenagers as well who absolutely love dogs ensures your pup is being overfilled with love.

“Taylor was great! She took great care of my cats and was super communicative! Will book again!”

“Ahmed was very responsive, followed all instructions exactly, and provided plenty of picture and video updates. Also my dog loved him! Would definitely recommend.”

About: Whats sets me apart from others is that I have patience, responsibility, and a true love for animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am a current graduate student taking classes three days a week. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walking and caring for dogs fits seamlessly into my schedule and lifestyle. In my client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have food, water, exercise, and plenty of attention. When walking, I prioritize safety and consistency, treating every dog with the same care I’d give my own.

“Mariah took great care of my two fur babies. She played with the kitten and was patient and gentle with my older cat…She sent cute pics and updates! She also took in my amazon packages and the trash cans, what a wonderful help!! i highly recommend Mariah!!”

About: Hello hello! I'm Ken, local dog sitter/walker. Some pros: I have a fenced in yard for pups to run around in, play fetch with, and do their business. I have a long hall in my home for indoor play and a park nearby that I like to take my pups to. I'm a novelist so I'm home all the time and won't be leaving your pups for any extended periods, if at all. Rules are pretty lacks around the house and I do my best to make a dog friendly environment. I only watch one dog at a time, so yours will get my full attention and will have no competition. One thing I must insist on is that you please bathe your dogs before leaving them with me.

“This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.”

“Olivia was awesome! She over communicated. My dog clearly loved her and before she left she even cleaned my floor which she didn’t have to do. She went above and beyond and I am 1000% going to rebook her in the future.”

Jordan B.

“Cheyanne took excellent care of my cat Kiki while I was away! She wrote a summary and took pictures throughout each visit and it was so nice to see what Kiki was up to. She looked very happy and clearly really liked Cheyanne! Cheyanne gave her a lot of attention, brushing her and allowing her to make biscuits in her lap. Cheyanne also notified me right away when my fridge stopped working and helped me by checking the electric panel (going above and beyond pet sitting!). I will definitely book Cheyanne again next time I go out of town!”

Allison

“Tremendous job taking care of our fur babies! Allen was great at communicating and providing pics and videos of our pets. I would most definitely recommend him for anyone needing pet care while away from home. Will definitely ask for him again next time we are out of town!”

“My dog had a case of bad diarrhea and vomiting in his kennel when Melissa came to do a drop in. She stayed over her allotted time to clean up (kennel, toys, floor, wall 😳) and make sure he was okay. She gave me such peace of mind! She literally has a heart of gold and Todd loves her :)”
