Dog Walking East Lake-Orient Park

About: I have over a year of hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, along with 5 years experience dog walking and pet sitting for clients. Working with animals every day taught me how to handle different temperaments and energy levels while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable and familiar with administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and keeping up with specific routines and care needs. Whether your pet enjoys lots of playtime and walks or prefers a calmer environment and quiet attention, I always try to make sure they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I make it a priority to provide dependable care, updates (photos and videos included), and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their babies are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have consistent experience working around dogs and structured care environments. I’m generally flexible throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule based on a pet’s needs. I’m used to early mornings, midday check-ins, and evening care routines from my time working at a doggy daycare, so I’m able to stay consistent with feeding, walks, and medication schedules. I prioritize reliability, so once I commit to a booking, I make sure I’m fully available and on time for every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions exactly as given to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks and that pets are supervised at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond quickly if anything seems off or if they need extra reassurance. I also keep the environment calm, clean, and stress free, and I respect the client’s home by leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and make sure owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Hi! I bring experience from working at a dog boarding facility, a dog walking company, and pet sitting for the clients I have now. I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior pets, and grew up surrounded by animals, including three family dogs and two cats. This hands on experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs! I want every pet parent to have complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is getting all of the love, exercise, attention, and care :) Being self-employed allows me to make pet care my top priority. I customize each day to provide walks, meals, playtime, and loving care for every pet. I care for pets in their own home, maintaining their routine with feeding, walks, play, and affection to ensure comfort, security, and a stress free experience.

“Iliana has walked Honey multiple times. She’s wonderful with her. She is overly communicative, trustworthy, sweet to Honey, and always willing to help with whatever. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“AJ has been walking both of our cane corsos for a few months - they are large and one of them takes a while to warm up to people. Through the whole process he has been patient, kind, and respectful and has gained the full trust and friendship of my big pups. He goes out of his way to make them comfortable and they just LOVE his walks, visits, and belly rubs. I couldn’t recommend AJ more.”

About: I have experience with all sorts of pets like cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, etc. I currently have three pets, ones a senior chiweenie (Chily), a cat (Oliver), and a senior Siberian Husky (Lobo). I make sure that my daily routine matches with your pets needs. I never try to overbook my schedule to make sure your pet gets the best care from me. If taking care of a pet at a clients home I always make sure to follow the clients rules and keep up with their routines such as feeding times and walk times. During pet care at my own home I make sure that all of the pets feel comfortable around each other by slowly introducing everyone.

“Parker was so wonderful and really helped out in a pinch. She came through when our other walker fell through and ended up being so much better. She is sweet and thoughtful and so responsible with our boy. Will definitely seek her services again and would highly recommend her for any kind of pet care you need.”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, dogs that need medication, and dogs with seizure disorders. I also have a dog child that is a mini Goldendoodle, Clover, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work from home while going to school full time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule that lets me give pets lots of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to stick to their routine. I truly enjoy caring for animals, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets do best when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding and walks to medications, crate time, playtime, and any other preferences you have to help them feel comfortable and at home.

About: I’ve taken care and trained all sorts of dogs since I was a child! My mother and myself did Paws Woth A Cause training ever since I was 7 years old so I have 10+ years experience of training and have a golden retriever currently! I work part time so I have plenty of time to be home and care for your pet(s)! Boarding from Thursday-Sunday (24hour) and weekdays after 5pm! I have a fenced in backyard and a very safe neighborhood for walks! I also have a loving golden retriever to play with any dog here! If your pet needs to be crated we can talk about that as well!

“I have been so happy with the care that Estefany shows my fur baby. My dog, Zelda, recently had surgery for a major health issue. Estefany is so sensitive to how Zelda feels each day and responds appropriately. And Zelda shows that she feels safe and loved during their time together”

I grew up around dogs (yorkies, maltese & pitbulls) and currently have a 9 year old Yorkie mix named Nori who is truly my world. Before moving to Florida in 2024, I worked at a doggie day camp for three years, where I cared for dogs in both group play and 1 on 1 settings. Their safety, happiness, and well-being were always top priority. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, feedings, medication taken or just some extra cuddles and attention while you’re away, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! I am a Pilates instructor who teaches mostly early mornings. Here is my current availability: Sundays & Wednesdays - mornings/afternoons/evenings Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays - late mornings/afternoons/evenings Saturdays - afternoons & evenings When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible.

About: I've been an avid pet lover for as long as I can remember. I attended UNC-Chapel Hill and earned my veterinarian medical technician degree. I specialize in senior dogs needing special care, food and medication. I can administer all medications oral, topical as well as injections. I have cared for the smallest to the largest of all breeds. Pet sitting is my full time job. My daily and weekly routines revolves around the dogs in my care. I never leave them alone more than 2hrs at a time and I only do that for doctors appointments. My dog Porkchop is a medical service animal and goes everywhere I go, except when I sit at someone else's house. I have a large fenced in backyard and I have a small service dog to keep your baby company. Your babies will be allowed on the furniture and the bed unless you don't want them too. I don't use kennels unless you want me to and you will have to provide the kennel. Your babies will have full access to my entire house. If I sit in your home I go by all of your rules for your baby. On drop in visits I will feed your pet and walk them as well as give plenty of love and play time. For walking visits I will give your baby a twenty minute walk and give them fresh water and a treat or two if they are allowed to have them.

About: I’ve worked with many different kinds of animals. Everything from hamsters to blue macaws! I take time and dedication to every single precious fur baby! I want to pursue a career in taking care of animals and work alongside all kinds of beautiful babies and different personalities to get experience with all animals I make sure I stick to normal schedules just like the owners would and give them lots of love!! I make sure they stick to any boundaries the owners have set for them at home.

About: I lost my dog to cancer so I have lots of love to give to your pup. Cocoa was a senior puppy mill survivor that I rehabbed so I’m great with nervous dogs and seniors as well. In her last days, I changed her diapers and administered medication so I am experienced with medically disadvantaged pets. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of treats and toys. We will play a ton and when we’re tired we can snuggle up and watch a good movie. 😊 I am off on the weekends and work nights during the week. So lots of playtime in my backyard during the day and a good nap while I’m at work. I have a secured, fenced-in backyard where your dog can run around! I also live in a neighborhood where there are sidewalks and safe places to walk your dog, upon request.

About: I am an animal lover. I have years of experience and always been around animals,. I take care of your babies as if they were my own. I enjoy hiking, walking and playing with them and just giving them quality time. I make sure your fur baby gets enough attention and exercise as needed, I take them outside to play, walk around the neighborhood, take them to the park or play at home. I just recently relocated to Tampa and purchased our home with a fenced backyard, I’m still new and getting to know the area but will definitely explore more. I love meeting new dogs and getting to know them. Every dog has their own little routines, quirks, and habits that make them who they are but in my experience even the most shy ones warm up very quickly. I will make sure they feel at home when they’re with me. I have my own dog Milo he is 5yo Shih Tzu-Maltese who is very friendly with other dogs. I hope you give me the opportunity to care for your dog you won't regret it they may just get a little spoiled. I'm currently home all day, my schedule is very flexible I take short notice requests and long term bookings . I can also accommodate to any schedule with enough notice. I can walk your dog, play with them and keep them company while you're away, as well as feed your cats and do well checks.

“Tara is amazing. She’s attentive, caring, punctual, and genuine. I will def be rebooking !”
