Marlene does an amazing job making sure our dog is comfortable and happy! She really goes above and beyond to help calm him down and soothe him since he can be very anxious around new people. We highly recommend her services!

Ali is AMAZING! She was super flexible when I made schedule changes last minute and loved on my pups so well! She was very communicative and sent photos and videos with updates. I had no fears having Ali come over and take my crazy dogs for a walk while I was away at work. I will definitely be rebooking, thanks again Ali!!

About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.

About: Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some extra playtime, or a potty break while you’re at work or away, I’m here to help! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I’m currently in law school, which means my schedule can be flexible. perfect for fitting in walks and visits during mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m responsible, punctual, and always make sure pets (and their owners!) feel comfortable and confident with me. When I visit a client’s home, your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to leash preferences and any special routines. I’ll always double-check that doors and gates are secure, and I never let pets off-leash unless it’s in a fully fenced area (and you’ve approved it). I take time to help your pet feel comfortable around me by using a calm, gentle approach and giving them space to warm up if needed. I pay attention to body language and make sure every walk or drop-in is positive, fun, and stress-free. You can trust that I’ll treat your home with respect. I’ll leave things exactly as I found them and ensure your pet is happy, safe, and cared for before I go. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a loving, reliable companion while you’re away.

About: I’m a proud dog mom of two pups, Bingo (11) and Fiona (7). I’ve cared for friends’, family, and even some strangers’ pets since I was 11-12 years old. I was pet-sitting before human sitting. 😂 In the last 10 years while working in property management, I’ve helped over 50 pets find homes or reunite with their families, giving me a unique insight into pets needs and personalities. I treat every pet as my own, providing walks, playtime, snuggles, and consistent care, all while creating a safe, happy, and loving environment. Part-time schedule = plenty of pup play time! I’m available for overnight stays with or without my 2 dogs. Snuggles, walks, and lots of love included! I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring a safe, loving, and clean environment while you’re away. I follow your home routines closely—feeding, walking, and giving attention on schedule—and will only allow pets in areas you approve. I supervise all playtime and provide calm, positive atmosphere, making sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy. I also communicate regularly with you, so you can relax knowing your pets are interested hands.

About: Taking care of animals is one of my biggest passions. Growing up in Florida, I have been surrounded by all kinds of animals and family pets and truly can't live without them. I've had dogs of varying sizes, from chihuahua to doberman, and dog walking is my absolute favorite activity. I am also the worlds biggest cat person as I currently am mom to 3 cats, Sasha, Isis, and Frank!! I do absolutely wonderful with cats and am very good at taking care of them and understanding their needs, their boundaries, and their social cues. Not just cats and dogs I've also had bunnies, fish, turtles, and birds as well so my love for animals goes deep. I understand how important they are to us so I would take care of any pet like they are my own. I work from home so I can take care of pets every day. I wake up at 7 am to begin taking care of my cats. I have availabilities 7 days a week. If your pet has a specific routine just fill me in on the details and I will treat them as if they were my own! I live in a home with a backyard and multiple rooms for space for pets. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood where I can walk dogs for miles and miles! If a pet requires any type of specific space, I have room to provide it for them.

About: I’ve been pet sitting, fostering, and volunteering at animal rescues since I was a teenager. I’m pretty comfortable with animals of all sizes. I also have experience administering medication, assisting during times of disability rehabilitation, basic training, and understanding special cases. I want to bring you here peace of mind knowing that your babies are being well taken care of and loved while you’re away. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I’m also typically an early riser so I’m happy to make whatever schedule you need work. In my home, your pet would be treated like one of ours. I will follow whatever rules you prefer but otherwise, they will be loved just like our own.

About: After I was born, I came home to a family with dogs. I have raised one from a puppy and have always owned a dog. I have either taken care of and/or owned anywhere from a PItbull to a Yorkie and am comfortable with all well-mannered pet sizes. I am in the beginning of starting my Photography business so I am more than flexible as I continue to work from home to meet your pet's needs. I bring lots of love and also professional service to in-home visits; always trying to put leashes, etc back where they belong, refilling water bowls and feeding correct amounts of food, and making sure the pavement is not too hot for your pet's paws on daily walks! I was born and raised in St. Pete so I am very familiar with central and south-west and south-east St. Pete, Gulfport, Beaches, and South Pasadena.

Kailyn is a phenomenal dog walker who has been so flexible with us and our schedule. We hired her to help do weekly walks with our foster dog who could be a bit rowdy. She learned his routine and was able to execute it perfectly each time! We would highly recommend Kailyn for all of your pet walk/sitting needs!

Kylie and her business partner are warm amazing, people who really love animals. They walked my dog sasha daily for 2 weeks, as I recovered from surgery. They were highly responsive and communicative, and made sure sasha got taken care of and walked and return back very happy. They were also extremely responsible, because sometimes i'd have to adjust times and they would be diligent to make sure I am getting the correctly allotted time for each walk. I i highly recommend them.
