Dog Walking Highland Pines

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: Coming from a family that loves animals, I’ve always been around and taken care of pets. My experience has been walking/petsitting for family and friends, mostly dogs but occasionally cats. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I am currently a student in flight school, which only requires short daily in-person commitment, so I am very flexible with timing. Most of my studying is done online so I am able to care for your pet at any time it is convenient for you. I am unable to provide care in my own apartment due to its size, but I am very clean and respectful of clients homes when visiting for care. I am a great communicator and will respond quickly as well as follow any requests or instructions you make.

About: Hi! I bring experience from working at a dog boarding facility, and a pet sitting/dog walking business (Woofies of South Tampa). 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 took very good care of my baby girl. She kept the house clean, communicated with me daily, and followed the instructions I left. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous to trust a stranger but I was pleased with the outcome and would use Iliana again.”

About: I grew up with cats and have spent the last three years co-raising a dog with my sister, so I know the ins and outs of daily walks, feeding schedules, and all the little things that make pets feel at home. I treat every dog like my own — plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I work as a bartender, so my schedule can vary week to week — but it also means I often have stretches of daytime availability that a typical 9-to-5 doesn’t allow. Right now we’re in slow season, so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, which makes it a great time for me to take on walks, visits, and sitting. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, pets have space to relax, regular walks or playtime, and constant company — I don’t believe in leaving animals alone for long stretches. In a client’s home, I follow their existing routine closely: same feeding times, same walk schedule, same rules around furniture or favorite spots. I want your pet to feel comfortable, not like their world has been turned upside down.

“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 taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.

About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Joycemar treats Heidi like she’s her own baby. Heidi is always so happy to see her! She spoils her so much and gives her all the love and attention she needs when I’m working my 12 hour shifts 🥰”

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.

“Kristina walked my dog for a few months and was reliable and communicative. Highly recommend!”

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.
