Dog Walking In Tampa-Bayshore Gardens

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.

About: My whole life I’ve owned carts and small animals. Since a teenager, I’ve petsit for neighbors, family, and friends, which has only grown and contributed to my love for animals. Providing care and having pets of my own, I understand the challenge of finding care for animals while away by a trusted, dependable individual that makes you and your pets feel at ease. I am currently working remotely from home, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide dependable, consistent, daily pet care morning, day, and night. My experience with pet sitting and the care with my own pets I can ensure to provide the same level of trusted care and attention.

“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.”

“Naomi was wonderful with my eight month old puppy and very patient with him. She was in contact with me kept me updated was very responsive. I knew my dog was well taken care of Was well taken care of and I really appreciate having her would recommend her 1000 times over!”

“I never really hire a dog walker because it’s good exercise for me to do it myself and I work from home. Unfortunately, I hurt myself recently and was unable to walk due to back issues. I reached out to Matt the morning after with only 45 minutes of notice and he came to walk Barkley. Not only that, but over the next few days as I was healing and still not able to walk, he came three times a day, always on time and walked Barkley. A true life saver!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 10 ranging from sheep to geckos, I currently have a cat right now, But I have cared for many dogs and cats over the years and previously have owned dogs and puppies. I love all animals and am will to work with anyone on their schedule. I am available all summer. I am a college student taking classes over the summer and am only unavailable on Tuesdays evening from 4-8, and I am willing to work with anyone and around their schedule so it can fit their needs. At my home, I have a fenced-in yard for my dog to run around in, and I often take him for walks up to the dog park or to the beach to play in the water

“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!”

About: Hi! My name is Jolie and I’m a student at the University of Tampa studying law. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have three at home: a teacup Yorkie, a goldendoodle, and a wheaten terrier mix. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I’ve honestly begged my parents for just about every animal under the sun growing up. Right now I help take care of my teacup Yorkie, so I’m very used to giving lots of attention and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I love being active, working out, and going on long walks, but I also understand that every dog is different. My Yorkie isn’t the biggest fan of long walks, so I’m very used to adapting to each dog’s personality and energy level. I’ve also been around dogs with different temperaments, including more nervous or aggressive dogs, so I’m patient and know how to stay calm and handle situations carefully. I truly love animals and will treat your dog like my own while you’re away! I’m currently a college student and I’m off for the summer, so I have a lot of flexibility and time to focus on pet care. I love being active and going on walks, so taking dogs out and spending time with them fits really well into my routine. I’m available most days and can easily adjust my schedule depending on what your dog needs, whether that’s walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I’m mainly looking to do dog walking and house sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’m responsible and will follow whatever routine your dog is used to, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I do have a dog of my own, so if I’m house sitting I may need to step away occasionally to check on her, but I always make sure pets get the attention and care they need.

“Tyler has been absolutely wonderful with my pup, Ellie. He always makes sure she has everything she needs and gives her all the love, pets, and walks when I’m unable to do so during the work day. 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! 😊🐾”

“I would highly recommend Michele for any of your pet needs - she is communicative, patient and understanding with my grumpy pup, and has great energy.”

About: We've never met pets we didn't love! Taking care of animals is our self care. My Mom and I have had pets since I was little. One of us is always home to administer care for our fur babies and friends. We have 2 little terriers at home who thrive off dog treats and long days at dog beach. We love the dog park and to go on walks all day everyday. My Mom, Nikki and I are the primary care takers and almost always one of us is home with the pups. We promise to ensure your fur babies are loved, fed. We'll do our best to accommodate needs to ensure the best possible home environment for your pup. For Housesitting bookings: we are happy to send pics and videos of your pups while you are away! Given our reasonable rates and business demands, we will not sit at your home 24/7. If you need around the clock care, you will be best suited to book elsewhere. Our first priority is the care of your fur babies and to keep their schedule as close to consistent and what they are used to as possible. If you do not have sleeping space for us as a guest, ie a bed, we will ask you choose a boarding booking instead of housesitting. The couch or air mattress is not considered a bed, especially for long term stays longer than a few days.

“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: 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.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats of all temperaments and ages, I provide personalized care that meets each pet's unique needs. For Dogs: I'm passionate about long, engaging walks and active play that help your pup expend energy and stay physically and mentally stimulated. Whether working on training basics or simply providing adventure, I ensure every outing is both fun and fulfilling. For Cats: I create calm, nurturing environments where felines feel secure yet encouraged to explore. I understand cat behavior and body language, allowing me to build trust with even the shyest companions. I love animals and am committed to treating every pet as family. Your companion's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I am available on weekends and have flexibility with work since I work remotely for several days throughout the work week. Additionally, I am a morning person so I can take dogs for sunrise walks if needed. Your pet's safety and well-being are non-negotiable priorities in every aspect of care I provide. In Your Home: I maintain your pet's established routines, keep your home secure, and stay vigilant about potential hazards. I provide regular photo updates to keep you connected while you're away. On Walks: Dogs remain on secure, appropriate leashes at all times. I'm constantly aware of surroundings, traffic, and other animals, choosing safe routes suited to your dog's temperament. With Cats: I ensure all entry points are secure, respect their boundaries, and follow feeding and medication schedules precisely. I'm knowledgeable about feline safety and keep them away from any hazards. Emergency Preparedness: I have a clear action plan for emergencies and will immediately contact you and your veterinarian if any concerns arise. Communication: Transparency builds trust. I provide regular updates and openly discuss any behavioral observations or concerns. Your companion's safety isn't just a job, it's a promise to you.

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.

About: I have extensive experience volunteering for the humane society and have managed all types of dogs. I learned a lot about dog behavior from their on-site behavioral specialist and feel comfortable with most dogs. Let’s schedule a meet and greet! Flexible! 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.

About: I have raised both kittens and puppies from young ages. Taken training and obedience classes with my dog. Very experienced with both cats and dogs care. I currently work from home. I only leave the house for shopping and other appointments. I am able to easily spend most of my day at home. I have a fenced in yard and one small 14lb dog. I only have one small crate for her I use whenever I leave the house. During the cooler weather months I usually have the back door open all day so potty is always accessible.

About: I am super friendly and have a flexible schedule for walking dogs preferably in the late afternoon or evening. I am also very physically active and fairly strong for larger dogs but nothing over 80 pounds. I currently cannot own a dog where I live but I have been a pet owner for over 30 years, love all my furry friends and have plenty of experience with dog care. I would love to treat your dog like I would treat mine and spend quality time with him or her and making sure their daily activity needs are met and they can get some fresh air and fun outside! I am also willing to assist if your dog has any special needs, just let me know. Additionally. a portion of your payment will go to the Humane Society of Tampa!
