Dog Walking in Florence, Tampa, FL

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and more than 5 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming street dogs, I bring a unique combination of compassion, skill, and reliability. I currently volunteer at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, where I work hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, safe, and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. Your pet will be treated like family—because caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work in delivery, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at almost any time of the day. I do prefer morning appointments, but I’m always willing to adjust to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they receive the best care possible. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious and secure backyard where they can relax and play comfortably. They sleep inside the house with all the care and comforts they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the services they request — whether it’s stopping by once or twice a day for feeding and walks, or staying overnight to ensure their pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for.

“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 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'm known for my behavior training of difficult puppies and dogs. I can administer all medications oral, topical as well as injections. 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. 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 have cared for many dogs, including my own! I understand that each dog has a unique personality that I will honor with my care! I have a flexible schedule to spend time with your pet. Weekends, mornings and evenings are mostly free for me. I understand convenience is key! I have a fenced in yard, safe and cozy home, and reliable transportation to come to you. My place or yours! Honest and trustworthy service.

“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He has been dependable, trustworthy, and so attentive with her. I just recently downloaded Rover as I started a new job downtown and was nervous about having someone come into my place and care for my girl. I undoubtedly got so lucky to have found Tyler on here. He gives Ellie all the extra pets and lovin when I’m gone at work all day. I will most definitely continue to have Tyler check on her and walk her for as long as he’s willing and able, and I could not recommend his services enough!!😊🐾”

“Sophie was fantastic. She was a great communicator and extremely patient with my dog, Loki, who was meeting her for the first time and takes some time warming up to new people. Would highly recommend.”

“Amanda is amazing! She is so nice with Mater and kept us informed while we were out of town. Definitely going to her whenever we need help with our dog.”

About: I've had dogs since I've had memory, and in recent years I finally got my own pup with my wife and it has been the sweetest and most rewarding experience to have. I'm usually available in the afternoons and sometimes in the morning! Just make sure to send me a message about my availability and we can make something work. I follow your pet guidelines and check on them constantly, I try to create a relaxing environment and see what they respond to the best.

“Grace has been extremely dependable and communicative and I’ve really appreciated her taking care of my dog.”

“Great with my pup. Always on time and accommodated to any change. I wish she could keep walking Rafa but I understand she has other commitments. Emma gave me enough advance notice, which shows being responsible and respectful. I will definitely trust her with my pup again ??”

About: I am very familiar with handling both sides of the age scale. I had a black lab for 16 (almost 17) years, so I am very well aware of the extra patience and care they deserve. On the other hand, my family welcomed our first golden retriever puppy this past May, so I am prepared for providing extra attention and energy. I am currently a student at The University of Tampa, so I have a very flexible schedule. I do balance being on the club soccer team so weekends can vary, but Monday and Wednesdays after 10 am are most available:) I emphasize the importance of trust and comfort so your dogs can feel loved while you are away. I also want you to feel confident in the care they are receiving.

About: I love dogs, and more importantly when it comes to all animals, I have a huge heart. Dogs especially are my favorite. You couldn't ask for a more fun-loving, loyal, and caring companion to spend your time with. I have two amazing dogs of my own, walking, feeding, loving, and playing with them is priority. I will do the same with your dogs. I have a fenced yard, huge neighborhood to take dogs for a walk. I am willing to come to your neck of the woods if need be!

“Celina is amazing! We were so lucky to have her help these last few weeks! Your pup will be safe, happy & well cared for with Celina!!”

“I own an Australian Shepherd who can be very unpredictable towards strangers and does not do well with other dogs so it’s always stressful to have to find a new sitter who can understand and handle my dog’s unique needs. My usually sitter was not available, so I reached out to someone new on Rover and Desiree responded back quickly. She agreed to do a couple of drop-in visits before I left for my trip so that I could feel more comfortable leaving him alone with her. Desiree did a wonderful job assessing my dog’s behaviors and didn’t shy away from the challenge. She was very timely with her scheduled visits and did a great job keeping both my dog and others safe during his walks. I also really appreciated the photos that she took at each visit. It made me breathe easier knowing my dog was in capable hands. I definitely feel confident to use Desiree’s services again for future trips!”

About: I’ve always had at least one animal in my home. I am amazing with dogs and they seem to warm up to me very quickly. I’m currently in school for vet tech so you can be sure I know how to treat your pet and will always put your pet first. I trained my dog a number of different tricks, and I can teach yours as well. I work full time at home so your pet will never be alone and afraid. I have full availability all through the week and can drive almost anywhere to take care of your pet. I have 2 cats. They enjoy being on our porch, or just sleeping their day away. I have reliable transport to your home and you can be sure I will be there for the days you need me.

“My pup Anya LOVES Kyle! Kyle responded immediately after I sent my request and was easy to communicate with and make arrangements. She showed up right on time for Anya’s walk. Anya had a blast and was definitely tired from a great walk. Thank you, Kyle! Will definitely reach out again.”
