Dog Walking Indian Rocks Beach

About: I previously worked in a high volume pet care facility where I was responsible for overseeing daily operations and caring for large numbers of dogs with completely different personalities, temperaments, energy levels, and needs. I have experience handling nervous dogs, high energy dogs, senior dogs, dogs with medication schedules, and pets that simply need extra patience and structure to feel comfortable. I’m very confident handling different situations while still making pets feel safe and cared for. I pay close attention to body language, routines, behavior changes, and the small details that can easily get overlooked. I also understand how important communication, reliability, and trust are for pet parents. My goal is always to make things feel easy and stress free while providing genuinely high quality care. I currently work full time while continuing to grow my pet care career. My schedule varies throughout the week, so availability can change depending on the day, but I stay very organized and intentional with the clients I take on. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency because I know how important dependable care is when someone is trusting me with their pets. I’m extremely meticulous when caring for pets in someone’s home. Working professionally with animals taught me very quickly that consistency and attention to detail matter a lot, especially for pets who thrive on routine. I follow instructions carefully, keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, and make sure pets stay comfortable in their normal environment. I also respect every home as if it were my own and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it or better. I pay attention to cleanliness, safety, and the little details that help both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.

About: I WORK FROM HOME SO AM AVAILABLE ALL DAY TO HANG WITH YOUR FAVORITE!!! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and the past 6 years around the goodest boy, Brewer, who is my cat. I’m an ex-athlete and still show up 15 minutes early so you can guarantee I’ll be there for your favorite family member. I have the same amount of photos of Brewer as I do my wife so sending you lots of photos during my visits if that’s what you would like. I’m currently in my “off-season” of my job which means I work out, cook, give love to Brewer, and read every day with all other time allotted to this. I’m an only child but when people ask me if I have siblings I say, “Yes. A brother and sister named Scooby and Jelli.” have a son (pet cat named Brewer who literally looks like Garfield/Puss in Boots) who enjoys dog friends. I have a yard but not fenced in. I live right down the road from Walsingham Park which has a great dog park for small and big dogs. As a pet owner, you are literally your whole pet’s world and I get that. It sucks having to leave your favorite family member so I will do my best to make it easier while you are gone.

About: I grew up in a house hold with dogs and have been for sitting for 20 of those 29 years. I couldn’t imagine a life without dogs. When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life! I have an open schedule I am able to be scheduled very openly. All we have to do is communicate on getting things worked out I have a reliable fenced in backyard. A huge bath run for grooming purpose. And millions of balls and toys to play with. I love any and all dogs

“Very attentive to what Jax was/was not interested in especially other animals. I appreciated that! Jax had a nice long nap after his walk.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for neighbors, friends, and family for around 4 years. I have experience in small, big, younger, and older dogs. This includes stopping in to let the dogs out, take on walks, feed them, and keep them company! Right now, I am a hostess at a restaurant so my hours aren’t too long. I typically work a few hours in the evening, but still have a flexible schedule so just reach out for any questions! I will make sure to give your dogs plenty of play time inside and outside and give them any treats that are permitted ☺️. Before and after drop ins, I will check food & water level and make sure there were not any accidents in the house.

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a kid, I’ve always helped my mom care for the dogs and now I have one of my own. He is a husky so he’s a bit needy and can be difficult at times, but I love him so much. He is my best friend, we go on long walks, car rides and to the park all the time. I genuinely love animals and I could never do anything to hurt them. I am very patient and good at observing dogs behavior so I know when they need something. I am looking around for jobs but if this was my only job I can do it everyday no problem. But for me and my dog I handle pet care everyday. My life revolves around my dog, the second my feet touch the floor in the morning I take him out, make sure he has food and water. Play with him if he wants to and just make sure he’s taken care of and gets his exercise. It would be the same for clients pets, I’ll make sure they have everything they need and are taken care of as well as go to the bathroom and care for them as if they are my own! I will also clean up after them with no issues.

About: Over the years, I’ve watched, walked, bathed, and fed cats and dogs for friends, family, and other pet parents just like you. I’ve always been able to bond quickly with other people’s pets, and I really enjoy getting to know their personalities and routines. I’m very attentive to details and make sure I’m following care instructions closely so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I am currently working remotely part-time and have a lot of flexibility. I plan out my week in advance, so to increase the likelihood of working together, I recommend sending your request with as much notice as possible. That said, I’ll always do my best to accommodate last-minute requests (1–2 days out) when I can. which changes some from week to week. For overnight boarding, I can do some weekends and am always available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll always reach out with any questions before or during a visit to make sure I’m caring for your pet exactly how you'd like. I follow all care instructions closely, from feeding schedules to litter box or potty routines, and always make sure your pet is safe and comfy before I leave. I’ll treat your home just like my own, making sure doors are locked and everything is left just as I found it. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you can feel confident your furry BFF is happy while you’re away. :)

“Came to the rescue and watched my pets on short notice. Responsive and polite.”

“Shelby is amazing! She’s very caring, communicative and professional. She updates me every time after she walks my pup, sending lots of photos and even videos. She always makes sure my pup has fresh water after walk, cleans his paws. I’m happy I found her and I highly recommend her to everyone to use her services!”

“Kierra Was so kind to the dogs, very attentive and followed every direction we gave her to the fullest extent. Highly recommend, was able to help us out super last minute. We could’ve have asked for a better dog sitter.”

About: I have always had pets since I was really little. I have owned everything from dogs to hamsters to ferrets! I currently own 2 pitbulls and a cat! I incorporate pet care into my daily routine by making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times each day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care depending on the schedule, and I adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible and organized so I can reliably accommodate regular bookings as well as any last minute requests. When caring for pets I make sure they have everything they need. I will always keep an eye on them and provide the proper care.

“Alex is absolutely great. On time, friendly, reliable, and wonderful with my dog Captain. Respectful of your time and your home and loving towards my dog. I cannot recommend Alex enough to walk your dog or anything to do with your pet. He's perfect and I would trust him with Captain and my home anytime and hope he's always available when I need him again. Highly recommend. Gloria”

About: I've been watching dogs and cats for the past four years whether that be family, friends, or neighbors that have trusted me! Allowed me the opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, and look after them. I hope you can do the same! I'm a college student who has a lot of free time. I love being physical and doing outdoorsy things so hopefully your pets can take advantage of that :) I'm a college student that takes classes mainly online so I have more free time than the average person. Usually I am available all day Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Then Tuesday I have classes from 5:30-9pm! I can easily crate your pets if needed! I have 4 dogs of my own and only one gets crated so I get the need :)) Even blocking off rooms is not an issue for me! As long as the pet and parents are comfortable that's what matters.

About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. For the last 4 years I have been helping a friend of mine who had a pet sitting business do overnight pet sitting and I found I really enjoyed it. When he moved, I took over his clients and have started my own business as of last year. I am now expanding my services to Rover. I am looking to add daily dog walks and drop ins to my scope of work. I have 4 cats of my own and I adore animals. I am a married pharmaceutical professional, however, I am tired of corporate America and looking to do this full time. I currently work from home so I am available to do drop ins or dog walks throughout the day to help pets out with separation anxiety or just need a potty break. I will have a meet and greet with you beforehand to meet me and make sure your pet will be ok with me. It is then you can decide if I will be a good fit for the job.

About: Helped foster animals for a while. I love animals cats, dogs and whatever they maybe. I’m pretty independent and expect every animal to have their own personality. We can play, walk, relax, chill or whatever they need. If you have a list or anything for them that might seem silly but works for your pet give it to me. I once ate cat food and dog food for pets that were shy or bashful and needed a little confidence. I have sung for them, danced with them, play and cuddled them. I’m a worker and a giver; so I will work and give your pets the best care possible. Let’s see if what I have meets your needs. I treat pets with love and respect for all the little quirks and cares that they need. Playing walking or just comforting them. They have feelings too

About: I have volunteered at Pinellas County Animal Services also worked at The Humane Society Of Pinellas for 4years which I learned how to train,care,handle and give medications to animals. I also volunteer for passion4pits in which I help to foster dogs and go to events to help get dogs adopted and into forever homes !! I am always available for all your pets needs Monday-Sunday with a flexible schedule and willing to work with you and help in anyway that I can ! Flexible schedule but because I do so this for a living this does change but definitely flexible and willing to make changes for you to the best of my abilities! All dog and cats under my care are feed separately. This helps to ensure an extra level of safety when dealing with animals and food

About: First and foremost, I’m a queer yoga teacher from Milwaukee and I’m living here to escape the first bit of winter back home 😬 I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life. At four, my family started fostering cats (mamas and kittens were my faaaav) and I would help out as much as I could. Yes, I did try to name a kitten Washcloth. No, my mom did not let it stand. This love for animals carried forward throughout my youth with four cats, a German Shepard mix, a malamute, a boxer and pit. My house was always full and as the Aries eldest daughter that I am I always was the first to help out. I got a cat as soon as I could when I moved out on my own and about seven years ago I got a rescue pup of my own. I also have a Rottweiler who I helped raise and train from 7 weeks old. I dedicated so much time to gently training both of them and just pouring love into them. I can definitely help with training and love working with dogs on walking well on leash. I also really believe in positive reinforcement for your pets - they just want to make us proud. Truly a universal desire. I love long walks with dogs and lots of coregulation calm time. Trust that your babies will be treated like they are family. I am a yoga teacher and teach about 10 classes per week. Other than that I work remotely from my computer, so I can flex my time. I really value a slow paced life, so being able to really take my time and go for walks/hikes, cooking a gourmet dinner at home for myself and cuddling up with a good book. I have always been a very regimented, schedule following pet owner. I think it helps create consistency and eases anxiety for animals. Routines help animals thrive. I think frequent bathroom breaks are important. Long walks early in the day before the world is busy and it gets too hot in the summer are a priority. I also really love snuggling up and just having quiet, calm time with pets. I am happy to follow whatever guidelines/special requests pet parents have. I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets! There’s never any judgement from me!

About: I grew up with Wheaten terriers so I am unphased by face kisses, jumping and general stubbornness. I love dogs and will happily take them for walks or throw a ball for them and generally love them like they were my own. I recently moved to the area and setting up my home and ceramics studio. I'm generally pretty flexible and love animals. I'm happy to do drop in visits and walks to help keep your pets happy while you're away. I take pet safety seriously and will abide by any restrictions while I'm in your space or with your pet. I will proactively watch for situations with other animals if we're on a walk or at a dog park as well as anything they shouldn't eat.

About: Based in St. Pete, I offer drop-in visits and overnight care for all animals, as well as dog walking services. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, including senior pets and those with special needs. I can administer medications and am happy to follow detailed care instructions. I’m able to drop in every 4-8 hours on days that I work. On my days off, I will make being home with your pets a priority! My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away, with plenty of updates so you can enjoy peace of mind.
