Dog Walking In Gandy-Sun Bay South

“Bre was absolutely great! I had a scheduling issue with my original plans, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She adjusted the schedule to fit my family’s needs, which took a huge amount of stress off my plate. It was clear she genuinely cared about helping everything go smoothly. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and willingness to work with us. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and understanding dog sitter/walker.”

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter and active foster with a deep understanding of dogs who benefit from patience, consistency, and thoughtful, attentive care. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities, including dogs adjusting to new environments, managing anxiety, or coming from uncertain backgrounds. I offer overnight boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and walks. My approach is calm, structured, and intentionally low-volume, allowing me to provide a higher level of individualized attention and a predictable, low-stress routine for each dog in my care. When dogs stay in my home, I’m intentional about introductions, supervision, and maintaining a peaceful environment. I limit the number of dogs I care for at one time and thoughtfully consider temperament and compatibility to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting crate routines, reinforcing training cues, and following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and subtle changes, and I communicate proactively with updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog is social and energetic or more sensitive and routine-oriented, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care in a calm environment where they can feel safe, settled, and genuinely well cared for. Additional Note on Care Options: For dogs who are comfortable around other well-matched dogs, I offer a social boarding environment with thoughtful introductions and supervision. I also offer private, solo care for dogs who require or prefer being the only dog in my home. As this option reserves my full availability and limits additional bookings, a premium rate may apply. If your dog has specific preferences or sensitivities, I’m always happy to discuss the best fit to ensure an exceptional experience. Extended In-Home Care: For in-home visits or daycare sessions exceeding 8 hours, an additional fee may apply to reflect the extended attention and reserved time. This ensures every dog receives consistent, high-quality care throughout the day. I currently run my own business and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home or out of the house as needed. Because of this, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout the day and provide reliable walks, drop-ins, and attentive supervision. I have a fenced in yard at my home, am able to walk dogs as needed and take care of dogs for drop in visits at any south Tampa home.

“Mariah has come by to feed and walk Clooney a few times now and she is so great with him! He is very stubborn but she’s so patient with him and takes the best photos to send while I’m away, which always gives me extra peace of mind that he’s being taken care of.”

“Anthony has been a godsend with my sweet boy, Finn. He’s always happy to see him and cries when he leaves because he wants more of his time! He’s great at updating you with photos, taking new routes so they stay engaged, and I feel like he really cares for him! So happy I booked him to walk my boy when I’m at work!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12! I grew up having a dog, cats, fish, and hamsters. I currently have a dog who is 4 years old and I love taking him on walks and to the dog park! I am a teacher so I have summers off! I’m very flexible and am available pretty much every day of the week. I will be in Tampa all summer to help out with people who need it! I love animals of all kinds. I have most experience with dogs and cats! I will feed, bathe, walk, and clean up after your pet. Whatever you need, I can do for you!

“Elena made herself available on such short notice when I was not able to secure any walkers. Mira had such a great time with her and really appreciated her flexibility!”

“Thank you!! Jetty was happy when we got home. Thanks for the walk!!!”

About: Dogs have been part of my family since I can remember. I can’t imagine a life without them. I first started dog sitting for friends and family at a young age (13-19). While focusing on my career I took a break from dog sitting, before picking it back up to support close friends in NYC who always needed a hand - whether that be dog sitting for the weekend or popping in to check on their pup while they were at work. During my 5 years in NY I also helped out with my in-law’s 6 dogs and now living in Tampa, I’ve adopted my own rescue pup. Maple is 3 years old and fully trained by me. She’s potty trained, knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down and even some fun tricks like high five and spin move. I’ve been working remotely for the past 3 years allowing me plenty of time to care for your pup! I’m also available at weekends and holidays. For those looking for a HOUSE SITTER, I can work from your house during the day to give your pups all the attention them need. I’m unavailable to stay overnight but will ensure your animals are taken for a late night walk/potty break before bedtime, and we will return first thing in the morning. I have a large fenced in yard allowing plenty of outdoor play time or lazing in the sun. Additionally if preferred I can crate my dog, Maple, to allow for separate play times. Please note I only have one dog, Maple. On my profile there are two dogs listed, my sister-in-law’s dog Willow does not live with me.

“Spencer was amazing. Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was taken care of. I highly recommend using Spencer for any of your pet care!”

About: I have cared for and been around pets for my entire life. I’ve taken care of family and friend’s pets and love doing it. I love younger and older pets alike, I do not discriminate! Pet care fits into my weekly routine because it allows me to interact with pets on a daily basis and walking pets helps me get exercise on too! I can care for a pet by giving the pet what it needs based on their personality. If they want attention, I will play with them for hours. If they want to be left alone, I am happy to do so. Any pet I take care of will be in good hands and supervised heavily, to guarantee their safety.

About: Hi! I’m new to Rover, but I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and truly enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication support, or just extra attention and cuddles, I’m happy to help. I can also provide references upon request. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority! I have a flexible job and I’m off usually on weekends. I get an hr lunch in my job so I won’t mind to walk the dog if is necessary during my lunch break. As a dedicated pet sitter, I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for like family. I understand how important trust is when leaving your furry companions in someone else’s care, which is why I prioritize reliability, patience, and attentive supervision at all times. From daily walks and playtime to feeding routines and extra cuddles, I create a calm and secure atmosphere tailored to each pet’s needs. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in a trustworthy, caring, and positive environment.

About: I've had my own dog for 11 years now, before that I grew up with a family chocolate lab. I've always had dogs in my life and my sister is a vet so I've experienced a lot and learned a lot. I would never let a dog get hurt! I treat dogs like humans :) I know what to do in many different situations because I've had experience with dogs my entire life, big and small. My boyfriend and I have watched a dog overnight for 2 weeks before. Our dog, Piper is nice and relaxed and gets along well with others. She loves having a friend around like she did when I was in college living with my roommate who had a Maltese. Day to day: I wake up at 7, walk my dog, then feed her. We hang out, I might go run some errands and puppy proof the apartment before I leave. I'll come back and let her out again. At night I let her out once after I feed her at 7, so about 8:30, then once more before I go to bed. I play with my dog a lot and she likes to snuggle. I would do all these things for your dog and anything else you request! My schedule is flexible, so I can fit walks into your dog’s routine with ease. I’m based in South Tampa and happy to travel up to 45 minutes. I keep my bookings consistent and reliable, and I’ll always show up on time and ready to give your pup a great walk. Since I offer dog walking, I come to you and care for your dog in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions on leashing, routes, and routine exactly. Safety is my top priority: I keep your dog leashed, avoid hazards, stay alert to their body language, and never put them in a situation that feels off. My sister is a vet, so I know how to spot when something is wrong.

“This was our first time using this service and Silvana made us so comfortable and Bella and Roux were so happy when they came back from their walk! Silvana was flexible and so easy to coordinate with.”

About: My first ever pet was a bunny when I was 8 years old, and after that I just loved having pets! I have had a family dog for 7 years, which we adopted from the SAFE Foundation in Jacksonville, FL! Porkchop has been a constant motivation for me and has made me such a dog-lover(especially big dogs!) Porkchop is an old man now, so I have experience with senior dogs. I also have experience with timid, shy, and also very hyper dogs! I can provide walks multiple times a day, I live near a big walking path next to the bay, so I am able to give long, quality walks. I also live near a dog park. I work part-time, but not all day so I am able to have a flexible schedule. I care for my pets and will absolutely care for other people’s pets as if they are my own. I am willing to follow a care plan to ensure that clients are more than happy with their pet’s experience in my care!

About: My first job was at an exotic pet shop. I quickly learned how to care for a variety of animals and a passion grew for ethics in animal care. I love cats and dogs, I’ve had them my whole life. And I also have worked with animal rescue for birds, lizards, turtles, and many other kinds of animals. I am very passionate about two things. Fitness and animals. If your dog loves to go for walks I look at it as a motivation to get myself moving! If ur can’t likes the tiring string play all over I make sure to commit until we’re both panting! Hehe I work full time Monday through Friday with plenty of time in the morning and evening to make sure to spend a good amount of time with your fur baby! I treat others homes as I would hope someone would treat mine. I’m an honest woman, with morals guided by my faith. I treat animals with the utmost respect.

About: Hi!! My name is Natalie and I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 5 years. I have always been passionate about animals, especially dogs. I have 2 furbabies on my own, a golden retriever and a border collie. I have knowledge of medical pet care, but I also have experience with different behaviors and high energy/ working dogs. I understand the importance of pet safety and well-being. I will take care of your pups as if they were mine!! I love playing, teaching new tricks, and going on walks. Let’s schedule a meet! My hours are very flexible, so I have lots of time to spend with your pup!! send me a message and we can definitely check what works best for you! I am very responsible, trustworthy, and will ensure I send lots of pictures for your peace of mind. Safety first, I make sure to put your baby’s safety and wellbeing first.
