“Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!”


“An absolute God-send! I live about 3 hours away and was coming to town for an event. Summer met me at Ulta to take my dog while I got my hair and make up done. Because I went to the wrong Ulta, i was late and she was so accommodating (I communicated for her, so do the same!). She even helped me keep my appointment there while she waited for my dog and I. My dog came back tail wagging and so happy she got to play ALL the fetch!!! Couldn’t recommend her more.”


“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 have daily experience walking a 75 lb dog and can comfortably manage multiple dogs at once. As a graduate student who loves animals and the outdoors, I bring patience, responsibility, and energy to every walk. I treat pets like family, ensuring their safety, happiness, and care. I am currently a graduate student with online classes, therefore my schedule is extremely flexible. I can work all hours of the week and/or weekend. I care for my partner’s dog as if he were my own, and I’ll do the same with yours. I follow routines closely, make sure pets feel safe and loved, and give them plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. You can trust that your pet will be cared for just like family.

About: I have taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a house full of 4 dogs and I was responsible for feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with my furry family as well as other dogs in our community. I have experience in pet-sitting, neighborhood walking, bathing, boarding, and trick training. I am working part time (mostly in the evenings on weekdays), so I have plenty of time to play with and provide care for your furry friends! My schedule leaves me available on weekends, mornings and afternoons. I have experience crating dogs, administering medication, giving treats and commands, as well as handing dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable with any and all pups!

“Sally is a wonderful dog walker. She was very communicative, considerate and professional — and she sent photos and video each day. I would highly recommend d Sally for any dog related needs! We will certainly be using her services again in the future.”


“Another successful trip with help from Amanda’s excellent service! This was my second time hiring Amanda and she delivered the same patient and professional dog care I’ve come to expect. She remembered all the visit instructions without reminder, making a busy travel week that much easier. I ended up having to extend my trip a full day and Amanda graciously took on two additional walks on very short notice. Plus, my dog Cleo absolutely loves her. Best dog care professional I've ever hired!”

I have the flexibility to work from home so on days I do, I can be free most hours of any day. I understand people live busy lives, and I can work with any accommodations that you have. While I can’t use my space I can care for your babes anywhere that you have them judgment free.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I'm the go-to for friends and family when looking for pet-care and I'm no stranger to cleaning up pet messes. I work freelance in Tampa, and live in Melbourne when I'm not working. When in Melbourne I can walk, house-sit, and play with your pet, however when I'm in Tampa, my time during the day is sparse. I can walk, house-sit, play with, and feed your pet. I love taking dogs to the dog park or the beach by my house. I'm more than happy to perform any chores you need for your pet.

“I can't say enough great things about Susy! She took care of my two pups for 5 days while we were out of town, and they absolutely loved her. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. On a separate occasion, I had to leave town unexpectedly, and she stepped in at the last minute without hesitation. Her flexibility and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”


About: I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 10 years. I’ve owned everything from furry, fethered, scaled and everything in between! Need help with your pets? I’m the pet smart girl you’ll want! I began my work with animals at a young age. I had guinea pigs, rats, dogs and cats. I’ve also owned birds, fish, and reptiles to name a few. I rode horses for over 7 years, worked as a stable hand for 2, and even had a pet chicken at one point! So if it’s involving anything with paws, claws, hoofs or talons then I’ve got your back! I dont just limit myself to dogs and cats so I’m more than happy to help you with whatever you own! I used to volunteer at anderson animal shelter when I was in middle school, transitioned to assisting at vet clinics and eventually graduated from college specializing in microbiology. I moved into sales within the pet industry, specializing in pet care and pet products within retail. I did that for 2 years, but eventually found myself using my microbiology and parasitology knowledge working in a veterinary diagnostics lab where I help diagnose your fourlegged friends when they’re sick so the vet can help prescribe them what they need! With a friend I used to work under as a dog walker and sitter for awhile out of the campton hills/st charles area, but have decided to try pursuing my own independent path within this industry. Know your pet will be in great hands when you choose me for all your pet sitting and walking needs! When you pick me for pet sitting know your home will be in great hands. I house sat during my time with my friend’s company, and during those times I made sure the homes were tidy, pets had access to fresh water and walks daily. Made sure feeding times were consistent and spent over an hour playing and exercising each pet to make sure they were as enriched as possible while their owners were away. I will always get the mail so it doesn’t pile up and if it’s garbage day don’t worry about the trash. I’ll take it out for you. Enjoy your vacation and know your baby will be comfortable at home waiting for you to return! If pet walking is what you’re looking for then I'm still the girl for you! No matter the size, breed or species I’m always up for a walk, and I know your dog, cat, horse, lizard, or whatever fourlegged baby you want me to walk will be too! If you have a dog park pass no problem! Im more than happy to take your pups to the dog park to play or for a car ride as well! If your dog is dog friendly my own fur baby is always up for a playdate! She loves other dogs! I look forward to hearing from you soon! Until then! I work my schedule around you and always be upfront on how it works with my schedule. We will figure out the best thing for your pets :) I am very attentive to instructions. Your pets safety and care are my priority so if they have to stay leashed then they stay leashed. Only allowed in the backyard? Then that is where they go. I keep all codes, keys, locks confidential. I aks you have an itinerary for your pets that I can follow either provided through email, text or left at the home.
