Doggy Day Care in Sunset Park, Tampa, FL

About: I love dogs and care for every pup like they’re my own—snuggles, playtime, and plenty of tail wags guaranteed! I provide loving, reliable care that keeps them happy and stress-free. I’m retired with an open schedule, so your pets get my full attention every day—weekdays or weekends. I can give your pets the time, love, and care they deserve. What sets my pet care apart is the combination of safety, comfort, and fun that your furry family members will experience while staying with me. With a secure fenced yard and a convenient dog door, pups have the freedom to come and go as they please for fresh air and playtime. On warm days, they can even enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, giving them extra exercise and enrichment. My own two friendly, playful dogs love welcoming new friends, ensuring your pet will have built-in playmates and never feel lonely. It’s more than pet sitting—it’s a tail-wagging vacation where your dog can feel right at home.

“I consider Matt to be South Tampa’s best Dog sitter and animal lover. He is wonderful with our new puppy Rani, he’s flexible with time and availability, understands family emergencies, caring, energetic, on time and his entire set up is puppy proofed including his car! We are so lucky to have connected with Matt. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him for your pup as well! Rani has really taken to Matt like no other and we hope this is the start of a life long friendship! Thank you!”

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life, and last year I lost my best furry friend. Your dog will be in excellent hands with me and I will care for them like my own! My work schedule is very flexible, some days I work from home, other days I am in and out all day but can always make it home within a 2 hour time period. I have lots of walking trails near me, and a dog park around the corner from my house. I’m an active person so I’m always walking or running, and would love to have a furry friend join me!

“Vadim & family are the sweetest. They spoiled my fur baby! Took her on long walks and treated her like their own. I cannot recommend them enough.”

About: With 35 plus year of experience as a pet owner, starting as a teen with my 2 cats and later on a beautiful soulful Samoyed, Toby, from age 4 months to 14 years old, a spunky Poodle, Lolita, from age 2 to 12 years, and a top hat Terrier Mix, Ryder, from age 2 to 14 years. I have also fostered dogs for the past 4 years, and as a result, I am failed foster mom of a sweet Yorkie Poodle, Roxy, age 2 adopted in the Fall 2024. As mentioned, I am experienced with puppies and older dogs. Your fur baby will have plenty of walks every 4 hours and tentatively cared for throughout the day and will also receive tons of love from our 12-year-old twins whenever they come home from extracurricular activities. My spouse and I work full-time from home, so there is someone home at all times and available during the week. Our weekends are also flexible with some advance notice for drop-off and pick-up. Your dog will always have company, 3-4 dog walks, a back yard with shade areas, and plenty of sunshine and playtime. Lots of room to roam around. We will make sure your dog is loved and attended.

“Samuel takes great care of my 2 dogs, one of whom is 15. I like that Samuel has a pool and nice, large yard. He has been very accommodating and flexible.”

About: I'm very good with the little ones at home. I like to teach them new tricks and give them love and companionship, which is what our best friends need. I have plenty of time to provide love and companionship for your pup. I love playing with them and teaching them new tricks. I love dogs and treat them as they deserve, like a member of my family. I love puppies more than anything, I love spending time with them and teaching them new tricks. I am the kind of person who will treat your puppy as he deserves, like a member of the family. I will take care of your little one as a member of my family because that's what they deserve. I will give them lots of love and good company.

“Madisyn and her boyfriend welcomed Libby. When I picked up Libby, it looks like she was having a good time with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend and bring my dogs back.”

“This was the first time leaving our puppy with someone. Bailey was excited to see us upon pickup but didn’t want to leave. She had so much fun with Emilija. We will definitely book again. Thank you”

About: I have 3 dogs, one for 12 years and they are all so particular. I more than anyone else understand how difficult it is to find the best care for your furbabies when you have to go out of town or out of country. All my dogs have different diets and quirks so I have become accustomed to understanding my pets and their needs. Not only am I the best rubs giver but I love play time, which I think is important for pets and their overall happiness. I work from home in a spacious apartment close to many dog parks and Riverwalk where we could go for walks. I also love going to Cypress Point Park Beach for plane watching and would often bring my own doggos. This fits perfectly into my schedule as I work from home. I care for pets by treating them as if they're my own. There is no other way to care for animals that is acceptable to me. I care for them based on their needs and preferences as animals have personalities and that is something that should be considered and respected. Normally people would say they "child proof" their home but I dog proof mine lol

About: Hi, I’m McKay—lifelong dog-lover, proud pup parent (George, Golden Retriever, 80 lbs), and now working from home full-time. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, I create a loving, structured, and fun-filled atmosphere in my apartment home. I work from home Monday - Friday and am available for drop in visits, daycare or boarding for your fur baby. As a dog mom myself, it's easy to incorporate another pup into my day-to-day. I’ll treat your fur baby just like my own: - Constant attention and supervision while working remotely - Frequent potty breaks (every 4–8 hrs) and daily walks/playtime in safe neighborhood or fenced area - Positive reinforcement and gentle handling - Regular photo updates and open communication so you’re always in the loop

“Amanda and Matthew were excellent! When I dropped Xoey off, Amanda was welcoming and invited me to see her home where Xoey would be staying. Their pup is just the sweetest and got along great with mine! I could tell they provided great care to my baby and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again next time we're in the Tampa area!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs over the years. I have my own pup, a 4 year old Aussie! We love having furriends stay during the day and even overnight! Your pup will get plenty of love and attention during their stay! I work full-time from home Monday - Thursday. I have breaks during the day for potty breaks every 4-5 hours during the workday and typically every 3-4 hours on Friday - Sunday. I have a very gentle, playful, medium-sized Aussie who loves to play with dogs his own size or smaller. I keep my home free of any hazards or dangers to pups. I have a playpen if needed. I prefer you bring your own crate for when I am on the treadmill (for safety purposes). I live in a 3-story townhome, so your pup must be okay with carpeted stairs.

“Thank you so much for everything . Roxy had the time of her life . She loved the swimming pool . Whenever I’m back in town I will make sure to book with you guys again .”

“Lori is amazing as always! I have a new puppy and Lori took great care of her like she has her big sister for so many years. Both my older dog and my puppy literally drag me into Lori's house because they love her and her family sooo much! It's really great! Thank you Lori! You truly are the best of the BEST! 😊”
