Dog Walking Riverside Heights

“Summer is the absolute best. She was such a god send for us when moving to Tampa and finding someone to take care of our boy, Louie. Super reliable, communicative, responsive. Just the absolute best. Can’t recommend her enough for your pet care needs!!”

“Johnny is great! Johnny understands how to build a relationship with dogs and their owner. In one week he has built a strong bond with my dog and she looks forward to her walks with him. He also takes the time to hang out with my dog rather than taking her out for 5 minutes and leaving. Johnny is very professional, responsive and communicates effectively. He is always punctual and will let you know ahead of time if anything has come up on his calendar. He sends pictures daily of my dog and gives me details of anything that went on during their walk. I cannot recommend Johnny enough. Very lucky to have found him!”

About: Hi! I’m a college student at UT and I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I can help with walks, feeding, refilling water, litter boxes, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to spend time with them so they’re not alone while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and good about sticking to your pet’s routine so everything feels normal for them. I pay attention to what each pet needs and make sure they’re comfortable and taken care of. I can also send updates or pictures if you’d like. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m always willing to work around what you need. I’m a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m usually available during the day between classes and most afternoons/evenings, as well as weekends. I can do walks, feedings, and check-ins, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. I take pet care seriously and always try to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I follow any instructions you leave closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m respectful of your home and will keep things clean and secure. I pay attention to how each pet is acting so I can make sure they’re doing well, and I’ll reach out if anything seems off. I also make sure doors are secure and pets are always supervised during visits.

“Thank you Shelby for caring for Mikha. You do a great job caring for her. We appreciate you. Love the little things you do to care for her —like setting up her toys to tuck her in or putting on baby Shark so she has some fun entertainment.”

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

“Emma and her husband were great! Our dog is elderly and has had some health complications and they were so kind and patient with him. We will definitely be working with them in the future!”

“Victoria has been so easy to work with! She’s very thorough, timely, takes adorable pics, and my pup seems to love her already. Highly recommend!”

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.

“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: 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.

About: I've never met a dog I didn't want to say hi to! I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and I've helped care for dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. Beyond my own pets, I've frequently cared for family members' and friends' dogs while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing, administering medications when needed, and keeping them on their normal routines. I'm currently available most days and have a very flexible schedule before I begin my new job in September. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or extra playtime and cuddles, I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide the attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you provide. I'm happy to send regular photo updates and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you're away. I'm experienced around dogs with different personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want companionship, and I'm patient, calm, and attentive to their individual needs. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable throughout the entire experience.

“Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”

“Celine has walked our golden doodle a few times now and she has been extremely kind and accommodating. She is always flexible if plans have changed and our doodle loves her! Will continue to use her for walks ☺️”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I have for every animal I meet. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always treat your pet like they’re my own, giving you peace of mind and your pet the attention they deserve. I’m currently a student at the University of Tampa taking some classes over the summer, so aside from that, I have all the time in the world to contribute to your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. There are no other animals in my apartment and I live with one roommate.

“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: Hi! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life. I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have about 4 years of experience caring for dogs, including regular dog walking and daily care. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I study from Monday to Thursday and finish classes at 2 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets, go on walks, and give them the attention they need. I’m also available on weekends and can be flexible depending on each pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding instructions, walking schedules, and any special needs. I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and safe, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or playtime. I treat every pet with patience and respect, making sure they feel secure, loved, and comfortable at all times.

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 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.
