“Shelby is amazing!! He’s great. I needed someone to walk my dog after surgery. Shelby was dependable, trustworthy, friendly, independent, and adaptable to our routine and household. Will definitely book again. Our household didn’t miss a beat thanks to his help.”
4. Daphne F.
“Daphne has been wonderful! She's been doing daily walks with our dog for a couple of weeks now and it's been great. Gemma was a bit scared at first having someone new come into the house, but Daphne was a real trooper! She worked with us (and Gemma) to get her comfortable and now our pup has no issues with Daphne taking her out for her walks. It's been an overall great experience.”
5. Parker P.
“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.”

9. Samantha D.
“Sam has been amazing with our adopted Dog, Bugsy! She was already familiar with our apartment complex since she had walked a dog from our area before. She always kept us up to date with pictures, and if Bugsy peed or pooped. It was great to have her come for the days we needed her.”
10. Carli W.
About: I’m an affectionate and active sitter who is looking forward to meeting my next furry best friend. I would love to work with owners and their pets long term in Ybor City, Ybor Lofts, and The Quarter. Im a USF alumna and remote worker in media marketing with a flexible schedule. I’m looking to get some sunshine and extra steps in while helping neighbors in my community. I treat every pet like it’s my own, always offering love, patience, and respect. I prefer to visit pets at / in the clients home to keep pets in their most comfortable environment.
11. Madison M.
About: I'm thrilled to have recently graduated from UNCW & bittersweetly left my successful nearly 8-year career with Hendrick Automotive to pursue my Master's at UTampa as a Grad Assistant! I'm almost 23 - I have a sister(21), brother(14), & Brittney Spaniel who I used to care for. I love to be active, be creative, cook, & travel the world! I babysat for a 13-year-old when I was 16. At 17, I was recommended by my school counselor for a daily after-school position for my high school Girl's Soccer coach who had a baby, 3-year-old, 5-year-old, & puppy for a year until the pandemic. Recently, I tutored a 14-year-old weekly in Algebra in Fall '24 to prepare him for High School. I have my own car with a clean record. I love caring for pets & take care of my roommate’s cat - I wish I had time for my own! I like to ensure a safe & engaging environment for animals. I'm keen to navigating challenges with pets, as I have with adults in customer service for years lol! I’m looking for a part-time commitment (reocurring or situational) outside of school & my GA work to help support myself financially while enjoying this job - I just moved here last weekend near Channelside:) I’m open to care or even just walking! *I’ve only listed availability for Fri.-Sun. right now until I receive my Grad. Assistant schedule next Tuesday - these will most likely be the best days for me, but I’m sure I can squeeze in another day if needed + I used to work sometimes 15+ hr. shifts long ones are nothing to me! My main priority is ensuring a safe & fun environment for any animal. I respect their space if I can sense they want it or have the energy like a Golden Retriever to keep up:)
12. Erin J.
“I hired Erin to walk both of my dogs and she did an outstanding job. They were worn out and ready to wind down afterward. If you’re a pet lover and in need of someone to walk your dog hire her!”
13. allyson b.
“I have used Allyson twice now to walk and give food and water to my 2 dogs while I’ve been away for a couple of days each. She’s great with them and is great with communication. I would highly recommend using her.”
14. Olivia J.
“Great communication and attention to detail! Olivia did a fantastic job and will be using again.”
15. Gabrielle S.
“Gabrielle is an exceptional pet sitter. With experience for large dogs, she is firm and loving. Able to manage keeping a large dog in line, training, keeping the pet active and controlled on walks. Plays with, grooms and bathes pets appropriately. I highly recommend her caregiving services. Reliable and trustworthy. Treats your pet like family. They will be well loved and managed in your absence. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

18. Jessica Z.
“Jessica was a pleasure to have walking Lana. She was very great with getting Lana comfortable to walk outside and ensure she had enough food and water. She communicated amazingly throughout the whole walk and left awesome pictures. Would highly recommend her for your future dog walking/cat watching needs!!”

20. Phylicia D.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Mostly cats and dogs. I have learned to understand their behaviors really well. I even have a special place in my heart for the seniors & the sassy ones. I am happy to help! I work from home part time so I can be flexible with pet care & have time to play/give attention to your pet. I am available for boarding after 3 pm on weekdays & I am pretty flexible for weekends. I work from home and am able to walk your dog as much as they need should you need to board them at my home.
