Dog Walking Historic Ybor

About: I did pet sitting and walking for many years in NC and I can’t wait to get back to it in Tampa. I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life. Right now, I have Penny Pooperson, a rescue dog. I love animals of all kinds. I did rescue work for many years as well. I’m currently working from home part time in Channelside, so I have plenty of time to walk and check in on your pets during the day. I ensure pets feel comfortable and they have plenty of fresh water and food. You can expect updates and pics from me on each visit for your peace of mind.

“Jordan did a great job updating me and sending very cute pictures of my pup! Marlin is a ball of energy and she did a great job getting some of his energy out. She was very easy to work with as well :)”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for years. I have rescued 4, and I enjoy every breed. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 2 years which allowed me to gain experience in administering medicine, and keeping animal spaces clean. I am currently a full time student athlete, so I am busy. However, that never stopped me from taking care of my animals at home. Going on walks and playing with animals is a genuine experience that relieves me of the stresses in college. My day does start relatively early; however, I have a lot of time in between classes and other activities. I plan to care for your pets depending on their needs and your home. If you have a yard that would be a great area for them to play outside; however if you do not, I am more than happy to take them on walks or to dog parks.

“Thank you for your patience and flexibility!”

About: My attention to detail and genuine love/care for all animals. I've always enjoyed being around dogs and understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I focus on making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention during every walk or visit. I'm dependable, communicate clearly, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to treat every pet like they're my own and give you peace of mind while you're away. I am currently training with a Pro soccer team and have a lot of time at noon and evenings…I can also walk/feed/care early in the mornings as well! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications (if applicable), and daily routines. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash, avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas, and make sure they have access to water when needed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat their home with respect, keep it clean, and make sure pets feel comfortable by sticking to their normal routine. I'll also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: Started dog-walking/-sitting in my pre-teens. Owned 3 dogs during this time (two part-Lab and one Great Dane. All rescues). Kept a small, growing business which consisted of walking or being paid to stay a week with a dog. This continued until early 20s. Have since continued to sit family's, friends', and family friends' dogs over the years. No matter the size or breed I always manage to find a friend in new dogs. Epileptic, old, and those requiring medicine are not a problem. Whether or not they adhere to commands isn't a problem. I've had very obedient dogs and known many that ran the house. Either way, we'll get along fine. I'm never out of the house for long. Maybe 4 hours max, but rarely more than 2. Our old lady used to need a lot of attention, so I'm used to life revolving around a dog upon entry, before leaving, and taking a break every 30 minutes to give some love. Fenced in yard. We have a designated spot in a public walkway for food and water but can move as needs depict. Doors to back rooms are shut when not being used. Nothing heavy or sharp that can fall or come in contact with your pet. We had a 17.5 year old so the house was made as safe as possible for her.

“Thank you Parker for taking care of Miki! I love the details of the walk and visit. I’m happy that Miki is taken care of and I feel at peace that he is in great hands!”

About: Hi my name is Mollykate, I work from home and in my free time I’d love to come take care of your pets. I’ve had experience with caring for big , small, rowdy, and old pets. Energetic pups do not scare me. I had high border collies that I grew up running with and playing frisbee everyday. I don’t mind just coming over to exercise or playtime your dog needs. Whether that is running a few blocks or playing frisbee. I have experience with animals that need special medications. I’m very excited to meet your furry friend! I am able to come see pets wednesdays and fridays. If your small dog would like a friend, my 2 year old King Charles would be happy to join. I can do any of the following care for your dogs needs in the owners house and then play/ go for walks. After the necessities are taken care of.

“Great job and would definitely book again!”

“Shelby is fantastic! He walked my dog, and my son's dog, and he handled it perfectly. I really appreciate that he accommodated a booking with only about 24 hours' notice. He always does a great job, and I feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands. I definitely highly recommend Shelby for anyone looking for reliable, positive, and professional dog walking services! 🐾”

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”

“Jolie was FABULOUS! I was super nervous leaving my sweet Daisy when going on a week trip, but Jolie made the trip stress free and easy for this anxious dog mama. She sent lots of pictures and took Daisy on plenty of fun walks while I was away and treated her like her very own. Daisy and I will definitely be using her services again and we would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend her. Thank you so much 🩷”

About: Hello! I am a responsible, energetic, and flexible young professional who loves meeting and caring for new dogs! After moving to Tampa from up north in Maryland, I was so sad to have to leave my labradoodle, Buster, at home. I have missed caring for a dog of my own, so what better remedy than taking care of new pups from around my neighborhood! I have several years of pet care experience, from the puppy stage all the way to adult. I love taking walks on Bayshore, and am close to several outdoor parks! I am available every day in the afternoon/evening, and generally in the early mornings. I can't wait to give your dog the best overnight experience possible, including walks in the fresh air, playtime, belly rubs, snuggles, and so much love!!!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Serena Is Wonderful! Serena has been amazing with our Lab, Rebel, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She’s incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and Rebel absolutely loves his time with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and brings such a calm, positive energy. One thing we appreciate most is how dependable she is — Serena is always willing to step in and help whenever we need extra support, which has been such a lifesaver for us. Her communication and reliability are top-notch, and we always feel confident knowing Rebel is in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Serena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker — we’ll definitely keep using her!”

About: I have been taking care of animals, mainly dogs, since I was 11 years old. I have always loved looking after pets, whether it be my family or friends, or the neighbor across the street and I will love taking care of yours as well. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I can easily check on your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy whenever needed. My pets' daily routines are a part of my own daily routine. I will make sure your pets are taken care of as if they were my own. I will make sure that they are happy and cared for and exercised as needed.

“Carly was wonderful! Quick to communicate and flexible with my changing schedule :) and my pups loved her too! She was flexible to come over before to meet them and ensure I was comfortable as well. Thank you Carly!”
