About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for years. I have rescued 4, and I enjoy every breed. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years which allowed me to gain experience in administering medicine, and keeping animal spaces clean. I am currently a full time student athlete, so I am busy. However, that never stopped me from taking care of my animals at home. Going on walks and playing with animals is a genuine experience that relieves me of the stresses in college. My day does start relatively early; however, I have a lot of time in between classes and other activities. I plan to care for your pets depending on their needs and your home. If you have a yard that would be a great area for them to play outside; however if you do not, I am more than happy to take them on walks or to dog parks.
About: I did pet sitting and walking for many years in NC and I can’t wait to get back to it in Tampa. I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life. Right now, I have Penny Pooperson, a rescue dog. I love animals of all kinds. I did rescue work for many years as well. I’m currently working from home part time in Channelside, so I have plenty of time to walk and check in on your pets during the day. I ensure pets feel comfortable and they have plenty of fresh water and food. You can expect updates and pics from me on each visit for your peace of mind.
“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.”
“If I could afford to I would hire her services daily! She is such a joy to have around my fur babies. My 11 month old is nervous and can nip at strangers and she got him to love her right away. She understands how dogs think and act and she was excellent. He had recently suffered heat exhaustion on a run my husband took him on and needed tender care as I had a pre planned trip to go on. She took excellent care of him and his companion who is a 1 y/o rescue with a ton of energy. I look forward now to many trips knowing I have someone who I can trust with my babies”
About: I am very punctual and reliable. I have an immense love and respect for animals and have been caring for them from a young age I am currently working part time from home , so I have a very flexible schedule to tend to you and your dogs needs . I have a 7 year old silk terrier who’s very caring and sweet. I am very respectful of clients wishes and needs for their pets
“Thank you Shelby for caring for Mikha. You do a great job caring for her. We appreciate you. Love the little things you do to care for her —like setting up her toys to tuck her in or putting on baby Shark so she has some fun entertainment.”
“Emma and her husband were great! Our dog is elderly and has had some health complications and they were so kind and patient with him. We will definitely be working with them in the future!”
“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He always makes sure she has everything she needs and gives her all the love, pets, and walks when I’m unable to do so during the work day. I would definitely recommend Tyler if you’re looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and dog-loving person to walk your pup. I will continue to book Tyler for as long as he’s willing and able! 😊🐾”
“sophia is awesome! this is the second time I’ve had her take care of my pups. and they are both so in love with her. I love that she’s always punctual and has good communication with me for any questions I have or any adjustments I need to make to the dog walking schedule. She’s such a sweetheart!!”
“Carly was wonderful! Quick to communicate and flexible with my changing schedule :) and my pups loved her too! She was flexible to come over before to meet them and ensure I was comfortable as well. Thank you Carly!”
About: I have a special place in my heart for all types of dogs (and cats)! For the past 11 years, I’ve cared for dogs from chihuahuas to corgis to english mastiffs, and many different dogs in between. While I watch dogs I like to give them a lot of attention by either walking them, taking them to a dog park, playing with them, or practicing their tricks! I love to give dogs the attention they deserve! I currently have the flexibility of working from home, which makes helping you care for your furry friend that much easier! Due to the seasonality of my work, I currently don't have pets of my own, so I am so much more excited to help you care for yours!
“Johnny is the best! He treats our dogs like his own and is communicative, trustworthy, and kind. He is a pleasure to work with. We are so glad we found him to do drop ins for us, and cannot recommend him enough!”
About: My mom was a dog groomer while I was growing up so I have always been around animals. I have pet sit all throughout college. Additionally I volunteer at the humane society pretty often! I’m currently working a full time role M-F but work Fridays remote so I have more freedom on Fridays for walks or check ins. However, I have an hour to an hour and 30 lunches so I can make do if needed! I have 1 kitty who is pretty accepting to all animals. He always sits by the window and watches the birds, dogs, and raccoons that come by.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Downtown is $20

Elizabeth helped me out sooo much!! I did not think I could get help so last minute, but Elizabeth stepped in and helped us beyond our expectations. She made sure our puppies Scooby and Goose got their energy out with long walks around the neighborhood. She went the extra step and made sure our dogs were comfortable before she left by making sure they had enough water and many pets! She sent many updates and pictures of our dogs enjoying their walks. I definitely recommend her and i will be without a doubt leaving my pups in her care when we are out of town again.
Jolie was FABULOUS! I was super nervous leaving my sweet Daisy when going on a week trip, but Jolie made the trip stress free and easy for this anxious dog mama. She sent lots of pictures and took Daisy on plenty of fun walks while I was away and treated her like her very own. Daisy and I will definitely be using her services again and we would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you so much 🩷
Ahmad was a true savior to step in with minimal notice and do a 23 day booking when Nena's primary caretaker had a medical emergency. Completely professional, great communication and every picture I received of Nena...she was smiling ear to ear! Nena was in great spirits when I finally got home after a long and difficult trip, I knew she was in good hands!
Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits
Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver, taking care of my pup as I recover from knee surgery. It’s amazingly clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was happy, safe, and well-exercised. What really stands out is the level of attention and love she gives. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals, Natalie is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Ari was great! Bert was so excited to meet her—he immediately brought her a toy before heading out on their 30-minute walk. She was very mindful of Bert being a pug in the hot weather and brought him back a little early, which we truly appreciated. He came home happy and exhausted! We’re already planning to use Ari again in just a few days. Highly recommend booking her!
We had a really positive experience with Amanda walking our dog Jaxon. She was punctual, attentive, and kept us in the loop, which we appreciated while we were out of town. Jaxon loves his walks and came back tired in the best way. We’d gladly book with her again!
