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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my own pets, family, and friends for around 6 years. I will take care of your animals like they’re my own! I have experience with all types of pets, big and small dog, puppies and kitties. I have volunteered at the Dumb Friends Leauge for over 6 months and have plenty of experience with animals! I am currently a student at the University of Tampa. I am available for house sitting, and I am available most days during the week! I will ensure the safety of your pet by making sure they are hydrated and fed, kept in a cool and safe environment. Use a leash when necessary and provide them with comfort and play time.

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.

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.

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!

South Seminol Heights, Tampa, FL, 33603

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.

About: I've had dogs all my life, & have owned my own for 20 years. When I got married I took in my parents 2 older yorkies & purchased our own. During the last 20 years, I've raised a total of 6 generations of Yorkies. As my Yorkies have gotten older, we’re eyeing to get a bigger dog soon & looking to get used to walking bigger babies. So we’re both going to be walking each other while having fun too! I also love pictures, so if you request them, I will be more than happy to send pics & videos during their walks. Any questions, just ask! I am a stay at home dog mom, so I am always home, unless I need to run an errand, then my husband will be here. Since I have my own set of dogs, it’s something I already do & would love to take care of other dogs/ cats as passive income. I have a fenced yard & my own pack of dogs. They are never left unattended or outside for more than 5-10 mins. While doing their business or getting their Vitamin D in for the day. We do prefer pets that are able to be crated at night. Please be prepared to bring a crate for your baby. We also do require that your baby have records of shots. This can be discussed in further detail via phone call.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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: Ever since I was little I always had a dog and at least four cats. I have a lot of experience with animals of every kind. I am a part time server/bartender so I only really works night and am free during the day! I am super flexible as well so whatever you need during the day I can definitely accommodate! I am fully capable of doing whatever the client needs from me. I can stay the night or drop in multiple times throughout the day. I love the outdoors so I will also give your furry friend an amazing walk.

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.

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!

I would definitely recommend Tyler if you’re looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and dog-loving person to walk your pup. I will continue to book Tyler for as long as he’s willing and able! 😊🐾

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.

I’m available most days and keep my schedule updated. I can take care of your pets during the day, night, or weekend. Message me! Your pet has all of my attention! When I’m caring for your fur baby, I make myself available to take them out for frequent walks/potty breaks and make sure they have everything they need at all times.

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.

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!

When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away.
