“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He has been dependable, trustworthy, and so attentive with her. I just recently downloaded Rover as I started a new job downtown and was nervous about having someone come into my place and care for my girl. I undoubtedly got so lucky to have found Tyler on here. He gives Ellie all the extra pets and lovin when I’m gone at work all day. I will most definitely continue to have Tyler check on her and walk her for as long as he’s willing and able, and I could not recommend his services enough!!😊🐾”

“I highly recommend Whitson! Whitson becomes an indispensable part of our routine. Not only do he arrives right on time, but he also goes above and beyond, often extending the walks beyond the agreed-upon duration to ensure our Tito gets the exercise and attention he needs. It's clear that Whitson genuinely cares for the well-being of our pet, and that peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a dog walker who is not just a professional but also a true animal lover, look no further than Whitson. He is simply the best!”

“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.”

About: Hi there! I’m a Flight Attendant that wants to fill my free time with fur friends! I am 100% reliable and always do what I am committed to. I am a very energetic and loving person. I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs all sizes (terriers, pit bulls, new born puppies, yorkies, hounds and cats too - just a name a few!) Between my travels, I’ll treat your pup as if it’s my puppy! I also taken care of a pit bull for almost a year and loved his energetic self. When I’m not flying, I am home the whole day to give your fur animal(s) all the attention! My boyfriend, Justin, is a firefighter/paramedic that also will be home all day when he isn’t saving the town. We live right behind a big dog park, too! I am looking to meeting and give them all the love they need while you’re away. When I’m not traveling, I am home which I can give full attention to your pup! I also go with the flow of of the pups needs! Unfortunately I cannot have pups right now so this is the main reason I dog sit. You can ensure I will love your pup as if it’s mine!

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was 3 and have been both dog and cat sitter in the past. I have cats personally but looking forward for long walks with puppies when I can! I work remote and have a very flexible schedule. I can take pets for walks or just come spend quality time with your loved one I live in an apartment with cats of my own, so I will not be able to board pets. I am able to go check in as much as needed
About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently serving in the Navy while attending college, and I bring that same level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into my work with animals. I specialize in working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I trained my golden retriever, Eleanor, from severe anxiety, she couldn’t even tolerate a leash at first, to becoming a confident, happy dog through consistent, positive reinforcement. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs structure, I provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to their needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’d love to meet your pup, feel free to reach out to schedule a walk! Caring for dogs is something I naturally build into my day. I already plan my routine around my own dog, Eleanor, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins for other dogs fits in seamlessly. I’m used to staying consistent with schedules, and I make sure every dog gets the time, attention, and care they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit in. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I respect the space as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, especially for dogs who may be anxious or adjusting. In my own home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and positive interaction. I prioritize safety at all times and never leave pets unattended in situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.
“Katie walked my 70lb mixed breed dog while I was at work, and she was great! Super communicative and was very understanding about the fact that he doesn’t like other dogs. She also put his new shoes on before the walk without any issues haha. I’d definitely recommend her!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“Molly has been walking Rhody weekly for a couple months now. She has been great! Flexible on arrival time, leaves detailed notes on how the walk was, sends pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“Needed last minute help when I had someone cancel on watching my pup. Was super responsive and made it so easy! Second time working with Shelby and would recommend to anyone”


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!!!
“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.”

“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!”


About: I’ve had a passion for dogs since I was young and have spent the past few years fostering and caring for dogs of all temperaments and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered with the Young-Williams Animal Center, helping dogs find safe, loving homes. When your dog is with me, they’re treated like my own—whether that means structured walks, playtime, or just a calm environment to relax. I’m very active and happy to take high-energy dogs on runs or long walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I work a full time job but have a very flexible schedule that allows me to work on my own time. This gives me the flexibility to meet your needs. Sunday: Anytime Monday: Anytime Tuesday: Anytime Wednesday: Anytime before 6pm Thursday: Anytime before 6pm Friday: Anytime before 6pm Saturday: Anytime before 6pm When caring for pets, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet has. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, whether that’s walks, playtime, or runs for higher-energy dogs. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, maintaining their routine, and giving them attention based on their personality. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Cleanliness, safety, and making your pet feel comfortable are my top priorities.

About: I am a PhD student at the University of South Florida, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. Over the past five years while in graduate school, I have regularly house sat for several families and cared for a variety of breeds. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, including young puppies and dogs that require medication. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I have a 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer (high energy working breed) that my partner and I raised from puppyhood, so I am very familiar with high-energy, intelligent dogs that need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment. Raising him has given me firsthand experience with puppy training, establishing routines, and all the challenges and rewards that come with energetic young dogs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week outside of classes. I have lots of time to check in on animals and take them for walks. I am a very responsible and will ensure that your pet is safe, happy and healthy. I will be sure to give them lots of exercise and love!

Ahmad was a true savior to step in with minimal notice and do a 23 day booking when Nena's primary caretaker had a medical emergency. Completely professional, great communication and every picture I received of Nena...she was smiling ear to ear! Nena was in great spirits when I finally got home after a long and difficult trip, I knew she was in good hands!

Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits

Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver, taking care of my pup as I recover from knee surgery. It’s amazingly clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was happy, safe, and well-exercised. What really stands out is the level of attention and love she gives. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals, Natalie is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Ari was great! Bert was so excited to meet her—he immediately brought her a toy before heading out on their 30-minute walk. She was very mindful of Bert being a pug in the hot weather and brought him back a little early, which we truly appreciated. He came home happy and exhausted! We’re already planning to use Ari again in just a few days. Highly recommend booking her!

We had a really positive experience with Amanda walking our dog Jaxon. She was punctual, attentive, and kept us in the loop, which we appreciated while we were out of town. Jaxon loves his walks and came back tired in the best way. We’d gladly book with her again!
