“Naomi is an exceptional part of my dogs life! She has been helping me care for KoKo for the past year and has always kept me informed and even given me advice as a 1st time dog owner! She is reliable and loves the animals she cares for. I feel so lucky to have found someone so caring to help me with my fur baby!”
“An absolute God-send! I live about 3 hours away and was coming to town for an event. Summer met me at Ulta to take my dog while I got my hair and make up done. Because I went to the wrong Ulta, i was late and she was so accommodating (I communicated for her, so do the same!). She even helped me keep my appointment there while she waited for my dog and I. My dog came back tail wagging and so happy she got to play ALL the fetch!!! Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Christine is the BEST. She’s always goes above and beyond to ensure our fur baby is taken care of and more. She pays attention to detail and truly loves our pet like her own. Not to mention, she saved the day with a last minute booking. Thank you for making long shifts at the hospital a little less worrisome knowing our dog is in the best hands on her midday walk ☺️”
About: With over 25 years as a dedicated pet parent and hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, your furry family member will be in loving, knowledgeable hands. As a work-from-home professional near Hyde Park, I offer flexible weekday availability and am just minutes from Bayshore for those scenic strolls your pup will love. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or a calming walk, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. Let’s make tails wag! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your cat or dog needs attention in the morning, afternoon, or evening, I’m available to accommodate their schedule. I’m happy to provide consistent care, walks, check-ins, or snuggle breaks whenever needed! I live in a spacious, pet-friendly 2-bedroom apartment right across the street from beautiful Bayshore—perfect for long, scenic walks with your pup! I share the space with one roommate who is also a fellow animal lover, and we have one very friendly cat who loves meeting new friends. Your pet will feel right at home in our cozy, calm environment, with plenty of attention and affection to go around.
“I never really hire a dog walker because it’s good exercise for me to do it myself and I work from home. Unfortunately, I hurt myself recently and was unable to walk due to back issues. I reached out to Matt the morning after with only 45 minutes of notice and he came to walk Barkley. Not only that, but over the next few days as I was healing and still not able to walk, he came three times a day, always on time and walked Barkley. A true life saver!”
About: I have daily experience walking a 75 lb dog and can comfortably manage multiple dogs at once. As a graduate student who loves animals and the outdoors, I bring patience, responsibility, and energy to every walk. I treat pets like family, ensuring their safety, happiness, and care. I am currently a graduate student with online classes, therefore my schedule is extremely flexible. I can work all hours of the week and/or weekend. I care for my partner’s dog as if he were my own, and I’ll do the same with yours. I follow routines closely, make sure pets feel safe and loved, and give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. You can trust that your pet will be cared for just like family.
About: I have taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a house full of 4 dogs and I was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with my furry family as well as other dogs in our community. I have experience in pet-sitting, neighborhood walking, bathing, boarding, and trick training. I am working part time (mostly in the evenings on weekdays), so I have plenty of time to play with and provide care for your furry friends! My schedule leaves me available on weekends, mornings and afternoons. I have experience crating dogs, administering medication, giving treats and commands, as well as handing dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable with any and all pups!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong pet lover with years of experience as a devoted pet parent. I also have hands-on experience with basic training, so your pup will enjoy gentle guidance along with play, cuddles, and structure. My home has a fenced yard, plenty of toys, and space to relax. I send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing, your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like family! I'm currently working from home with a very flexible schedule that allows me to care for, play with, and spend quality time with your pup! I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel at home. With a secure fenced yard, constant supervision, and a routine that matches their needs, your pet will be comfortable, active, and cared for. My friendly 13-lb Toy Aussie, Cozy, is gentle, playful, and a great companion for visiting pups.

About: I had dogs growing up and used to cat sit for my neighbors. I taught my dogs to open their cages and other small tricks. I just graduated from college and am currently hunting for jobs. I plan to spend at least four days a week caring for animals in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way’s preferred. Caged, free roaming, etc. I’m willing to work with whatever makes my clients most comfortable.

About: I have raised both kittens and puppies from young ages. Taken training and obedience classes with my dog. Very experienced with both cats and dogs care. I currently work from home. I only leave the house for shopping and other appointments. I am able to easily spend most of my day at home. I have a fenced in yard and one small 14lb dog. I only have one small crate for her I use whenever I leave the house. During the cooler weather months I usually have the back door open all day so potty is always accessible.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs since I was a teenager. Feed, water, walk (and pick-up after), play, bathe, trim nails, groom, attend vet appointments (including the dreaded ER visits for stomach bloat), etc. I've been working remotely from my home office and have flexible hours, so I can manage my schedule. Presently I have a 40-pound few-year-old poodle who my wife and I adopted as a rescue and she's my love dog. I can provide the temporary care and love for your dog(s) to keep them happy during your absence. This includes walking, feeding, watering, light grooming, crating, etc.

I work full-time but have flexible availability on evenings and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m great with: High-energy dogs who need long walks Timid or rescue pets who need a gentle approach Special needs or senior pets (meds, mobility support) Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority.
