About: I’ve been caring for pets pretty much my entire life! Currently I work at Paws n Rec on Grace Street so I know a ton about dog behavior, and have plenty of experience with dogs 🐾 As a college student, I miss my pets at home so much, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I also trained my Rat Terrier at home, so I have experience with basic training and understand the patience and consistency that comes with working with young puppies. I’m currently growing my Rover account and would love the opportunity to meet some new furry friends! ❤️ Whether you need someone for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to message me with any questions, book with me, or share my profile with friends and family who may need a pet sitter! 🐶🐱 Please be patient as my work schedule comes out weekly! Just reach out and ask and i’ll be sure to watch your pup as long as i am not working. I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I’m home and available the rest of the week to give your dog plenty of attention, love, and care! 🐾 If your dog needs boarding I can definitely take care of them! I am also able to bring them to doggy daycare at my job. Our house is currently pet-free, so your dog will have our full attention without having to worry about other pets in the home! 🐶❤️ Our building is also pet-friendly and has a fenced-in dog park right on the property. There’s a nice sidewalk that goes all the way around the building, making it perfect for daily walks and getting some energy out! 🐾 It’s a safe, comfortable environment where your pup can relax, play, and feel right at home!

About: I grew up in a house full of cats with my grandma, so loving animals has always just been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve volunteered at shelters and fostered rescue dogs and cats with all different kinds of backgrounds and personalities (which is how I found my cat) I’m very patient and comfortable with pets that have unique quirks or specific needs. Whether it’s giving an older animal space to warm up, following a strict routine, or handling tricky feedings, I make sure every pet is treated with the care and respect I’d want for mine. I am flexible and can accommodate your pet's specific needs. I am happy to work with you to create a personalized care plan that fits you and your pet's routine. I keep a very clean, tidy apartment and make sure anything a dog might chew or get into is tucked away. I have a friendly cat, and whenever a dog visits, I always do a slow, calm introduction. If I sense any tension or either pet seems unsure, I have a separate room ready so my cat can relax in her own space and your dog can decompress safely. When I'm in your home, I treat your space just like I’d want someone to treat mine. I make sure bowls are cleaned and refilled with fresh water, any messes are taken care of right away, and doors are always securely locked before I leave.

“Wonderful! Came last minute, reliable, communicated well.”

About: We love dogs! We lost our fur baby and miss having a four-legged fur friend around. We will treat your dog like our own. My husband has fostered over 20 dogs and we had our mix for over 8 years before losing her to lymphoma. Prior to that I had a Great Dane for 11 years. We have recently cared for friends and neighbors' dogs. I am recently retired and my husband works part time so we have plenty of time to shower your pet with attention and as many walks as they want! We have a fenced yard and are conveniently located steps away from a dog park if your dog prefers being social. We live in a beautiful, quiet, pedestrian friendly neighborhood.

“Brian was always on time and communicative! Our dog started showing signs of a stomach ache (which is not abnormal for her) but he let us know right away and kept us updated each time he saw her.”

About: My husband and I had a German shepherd for 13 years that we recently said goodbye to and have taken care of dogs/cats of all ages for friends and family. Great with seniors and big dogs. My husband grew up with 5 dogs in his household of all different breeds. Can administer medication and help with training if needed! I work from home twice a week and my husband is fully remote so between the two of us we will be home with your pup all day to watch them closely and ensure they are never alone. We live in a small pet friendly apartment in a walkable and pet friendly neighborhood. We have dog toys, enrichment toys, and dogs beds in the home but please bring your own if your pet prefers! We took our dog everywhere with us and know all the pet-friendly areas should your dog prefer spending most of their time outdoors.

About: I have over six years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I’m a cat owner myself. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and personality, then give them the attention they need—whether that means a walk, playtime, cuddles, or a little space to warm up. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. I’m available full time, including weekends and holidays. My schedule is flexible, but please reach out in advance so I can confirm availability and make sure I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety is my priority during every visit. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and use a leash for walks. I’ll also check that your pet has fresh water and a comfortable, safe space before I leave. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll contact you right away and follow the emergency plan you’ve provided.

“Shelby is fantastic! He walked my dog, and my son's dog, and he handled it perfectly. I really appreciate that he accommodated a booking with only about 24 hours' notice. He always does a great job, and I feel confident knowing my dogs are in good hands. I definitely highly recommend Shelby for anyone looking for reliable, positive, and professional dog walking services! 🐾”

About: I have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs. I only board one dog at a time (or two dogs from the same household), which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention. I work from home and am around most of the day, so dogs staying with me are rarely left alone. I follow owners’ instructions carefully, pay close attention to each dog’s needs, and always treat them with kindness and respect. I work primarily from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting on most weekdays and weekends. I always do my best to follow each pet’s routine and make them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs and dogs with health conditions that require extra attention and medication. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal with the same patience, kindness, and respect I would want for my own.

About: Hi! I bring experience from working at a dog boarding facility, and currently working for Woofies of South Tampa, a pet sitting/dog walking business! I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior pets and dogs that need daily medication. I also 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.

“Aubrey, thanks for being so sweet with Halo. We really appreciate that you give us from your time to take care of him last minute. Thanks for the communication and the professionalism. Hopefully Halo can see you again. God bless”

About: Longtime pet owner who loves animals and volunteers at the Humane Society. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to providing loving, dependable, and personalized care. I work full-time, so I have flexible availability in the early mornings, afternoons, and on weekends! Feel free to reach out anytime, and we can find a schedule that works for both of us. I pay close attention to your pet’s individual needs and care routine. Their safety, comfort, and well-being always come first, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you’re away.

About: As the owner of a young (crazy) German Shepherd, I personally understand that high-energy and working-breed dogs greatly benefit from lots of physical activity, mental engagement, and confident care. I also understand how particular you may be about the person caring for your dog, because I feel the same way about mine. This is why I have a high standard of care for the dogs I take care of, and I pride myself on being dependable, observant, and attentive to their safety. I am especially comfortable with large, energetic dogs, but I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I offer walks/runs and drop-ins tailored to each dog’s energy level, personality, routine, and needs. I am available all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I would love to see your pup routinely, but I also accept same-day bookings on these days! My availability on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays is limited to early mornings, which will need to be scheduled the day before at the latest! Your pet’s safety and your trust are my top priorities. If you so choose, I would love to have a meet-and-greet before our first booking, but this is not required! During walks, I stay attentive to our surroundings and provide extra space from unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, traffic, or anything else that could make your dog uncomfortable or overly excited. I will never allow your dog off leash or introduce them to another animal. Living in Florida, I always monitor the weather, pavement temperature, and your dog’s behavior and will adjust the intensity of our activity accordingly. For drop-ins, I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, potty, play, and home-security instructions. I’ll also send lots of photos and a detailed update after each visit so you know how your pet is doing!

“Anthony has been a godsend with my sweet boy, Finn. He’s always happy to see him and cries when he leaves because he wants more of his time! He’s great at updating you with photos, taking new routes so they stay engaged, and I feel like he really cares for him! So happy I booked him to walk my boy when I’m at work!”

About: Hi I’m Zoë! I work from home full time, so your pup will get consistent attention and company throughout the day, including frequent potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I have a Golden Retriever named Goose who is almost 2 years old, and basically incapable of meeting a person or animal he doesn’t immediately love. I know firsthand how much our pets become part of the family. I understand what it’s like to treat your fur baby like your own child and want them to receive the same love, attention, and care you would give them yourself. I am very mindful of tailoring the care needed for each pet, whether that’s a longer walk to let out their energy or frequent breaks to sniff or rest. I absolutely love giving pets lots of attention, cuddles, playtime, walks, and of course, plenty of love. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! You can expect lots of updates, photos, and a calm and attentive environment. I also have a fully fenced in backyard, so they can get plenty of off leash time too. I work remotely full time, and I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available any day of the week and flexible with scheduling. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love while I’m with them. I’m happy to accommodate special requests and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and a sweet, playful Golden Retriever who loves making new friends. I work from home and am home most of the day, so your pup will get lots of attention and won’t be left alone for long. My goal is to make sure your baby feels comfortable, happy, cared for, and loved while they’re with me!

About: I’ve had dogs for 20 years. I used to volunteer for the SPCA to help walk, bathe, clean and train dogs. I really enjoy working with dogs and figuring out what makes them happy! I’m currently taking classes and have loads of time for walking, boarding, or going to your house to take care of your animals. I look forward to meeting them! I have a fenced in yard in the back of the house. I have one dog - a Jack Russell / chihuahua mix (we think- she’s a rescue!)
