Dog Walking River Grove

About: Since childhood I have always been the one tasked with taking care of the family pets and then the neighborhood pets. I am an attentive walker and can't wait to sit your pets! I do gig work so I am available to whomever reaches out first. I have used dog walkers for many years and would love to provide the same service back for others! I pay attention to details and any notes or directions you leave. I have reliable transportation and plenty of experience with dogs. No pet will be left unhappy in my care.

“C.C was right on time and very easy to communicate with,shes kind and seems extremely knowledgeable about animals, I’d highly recommend her! She was very patient with our senior dog.”

About: I have over a year of hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, along with 5 years experience dog walking and pet sitting for clients. Working with animals every day taught me how to handle different temperaments and energy levels while making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I’m comfortable and familiar with administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and keeping up with specific routines and care needs. Whether your pet enjoys lots of playtime and walks or prefers a calmer environment and quiet attention, I always try to make sure they feel relaxed and happy while you’re away. I make it a priority to provide dependable care, updates (photos and videos included), and plenty of attention so owners can feel confident their babies are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already have consistent experience working around dogs and structured care environments. I’m generally flexible throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule based on a pet’s needs. I’m used to early mornings, midday check-ins, and evening care routines from my time working at a doggy daycare, so I’m able to stay consistent with feeding, walks, and medication schedules. I prioritize reliability, so once I commit to a booking, I make sure I’m fully available and on time for every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following all instructions exactly as given to maintain the pet’s normal routine and comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks and that pets are supervised at all times. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can respond quickly if anything seems off or if they need extra reassurance. I also keep the environment calm, clean, and stress free, and I respect the client’s home by leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and make sure owners feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

“I highly recommend Ava! She was punctual, communicated well, and gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in great hands. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again or recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”

“Britni was so easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable walking my dog while I was at work. I'd definitely book her again!”

“AJ has been walking both of our cane corsos for a few months - they are large and one of them takes a while to warm up to people. Through the whole process he has been patient, kind, and respectful and has gained the full trust and friendship of my big pups. He goes out of his way to make them comfortable and they just LOVE his walks, visits, and belly rubs. I couldn’t recommend AJ more.”

About: Hi! I bring experience from working at a dog boarding facility, and a pet sitting/dog walking business (Woofies of South Tampa). I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior pets, and grew up surrounded by animals, including three family dogs and two cats. This hands on experience helps me provide attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs! I want every pet parent to have complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is getting all of the love, exercise, attention, and care :) Having a flexible schedule allows me to make pet care my top priority. I customize each day to provide walks, meals, playtime, and loving care for every pet. I care for pets in their own home, maintaining their routine with feeding, walks, play, and affection to ensure comfort, security, and a stress free experience.

“Iliana has walked Honey multiple times. She’s wonderful with her. She is overly communicative, trustworthy, sweet to Honey, and always willing to help with whatever. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Annaliese was so patient with me! After a last minute cancellation she was able to provide care for my puppy. Super understanding and seemed like my pup really enjoyed her time with her. Thank you!”

Grace J.

“Sophie was fantastic. She was a great communicator and extremely patient with my dog, Loki, who was meeting her for the first time and takes some time warming up to new people. Would highly recommend.”

Derek M.

“We found the best fit for our pups with Amanda. She has a calming effect on animals, is dependable and conscientious. We will use her again and wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur babies with her. I can’t say enough good things about her.”

Bonnie G.

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.

“Joycemar was more than I could've ever expected. I was at peace and enjoyed my trip out of the country knowing Kai was in good hands. I received daily updates and videos. Will definitely book with Joycemar again.”

About: I’m a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet lover who understands that your pets are family. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets plenty of affection, playtime, walks, and companionship. I currently own a cleaning business, so I am available several times throughout the day as they make my own schedule. I will always make time to take care of your dogs and cats. I will always follow your direction in caring for your fur babies. I do always have extra items on me and follow all leash laws and neighborhood guidelines.

“Kristina walked my dog for a few months and was reliable and communicative. Highly recommend!”

About: I have always had so much love for animals and have an 8 year old Havanese/ Maltese mix of my own. I love both cats and dogs. I’m a undergrad college student at the University of South Florida and have availability Tuesdays and Friday’s after my morning class. Weekends I am free all day and will give all my time to your pets. I will follow any directions given to assure that you and your pet feel comfortable with me being around to walk or baby sit in your home.

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.

About: I always make sure the dogs feel loved whether it’s playing with them outside, taking them for walks, or just cuddling with them. I’ve always loved dogs and I will always make sure they’re safe. I am a college student so I do have classes but for most weekends I am free and I do have days off of classes. I always show them love with cuddles, I will play with them with their toys, take them for long walks, make sure they’re fed, give them treats if they’re being good or did tricks.
