Dog Walking University

“Christian was wonderful! Very friendly and patient with our dogs upon meeting them. Was able to help us with last minute walking needs. We will definitely continue to use his services and would absolutely recommend to others 😄”

“Amazing peace of mind having Annaliese check in on my two dogs. I have shibas and they can be a little cautious with new people, but they warmed right up to her! She was helpful with a last minute booking I needed and was on time! Great sitter, i’d work with her again and recommend her to my pet parent friends!”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a baby. I've raised and cared for four family dogs over the years: Nala (Black Lab), Holly (Golden Retriever), and my current dogs, Lucy (Golden Retriever) and Millie (Black Goldendoodle). Through caring for my own dogs, as well as dogs for friends and neighbors, I've gained hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, overnight care, cleaning up accidents, administering oral medications, and keeping dogs on their regular routines. I've cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs, and have experience with potty training, anxious or shy dogs, high-energy pups, and large breeds. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, active, and incredibly affectionate. I truly love spending time with dogs, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy, comfortable pup. My goal is to care for every dog as if they were my own while giving pet parents peace of mind through reliable care, regular updates, and lots of love. I currently have a part time job and am a student at the University of South Florida so I have a pretty open schedule, and plenty of time to play with your pups! I work Tuesdays and Thursday mornings as well as every other weekend right now :) During every drop-in visit, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I'm happy to administer oral medications, follow special feeding instructions, and care for pets with different energy levels and personalities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how they're doing and have peace of mind while you're away. I want every visit to be a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely just love being around them. I’m very active, love going on walks, and your dog will definitely get plenty of attention and exercise with me! I’ll treat your pup like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student at USF with a consistent schedule. I love to exercise and go for walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise with me if they like it! I do a lot of work from home, so will be home with your dog too! When I do have clinic or class, it’s only 2-4 hours at a time I will be gone. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re in my home. I love spending time with dogs, so they’ll get lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I also try to stick to their normal routine as much as possible so they feel relaxed and at home.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl, and we got our first cat just a few years ago but they’ve seem to have fallen in love with me lol. My main concern is making sure your pet is happy and comfortable, doesn’t matter the situation. I’m very gentle with them and I always make sure to communicate or ask when necessary, I don’t want to assume and be wrong or not inform you if something happens. I am in college, I have classes 3 days a week, so I’m home quite a bit. I do not currently work so I’m typically free the remaining days. I volunteer/workout in my free time so I can be flexible! Just ask if a day/time works, I’ll do my best to accommodate! I’m in an apartment so I don’t have a lot of space inside. The complex does have a little fenced in dog area, and there are some dog parks in the area that I would be willing to go to if you have a more active pet. I don’t have anything toxic in the apartment, or in a place they could reach at least (medicines/rubbing alcohol, that sort of stuff). I also like going on longer walks, 20-30 min if the weather is nice.

“Rylie has done a fantastic job walking my sometimes stubborn dog and has provided great pics and write ups on how my pup did. She is very prompt, responsive and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and be using again.”

“AJ has been walking both of our cane corsos for a few months - they are large and one of them takes a while to warm up to people. Through the whole process he has been patient, kind, and respectful and has gained the full trust and friendship of my big pups. He goes out of his way to make them comfortable and they just LOVE his walks, visits, and belly rubs. I couldn’t recommend AJ more.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 2 years, but truly my love for animals started as a kid. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and even pets with special needs. My goal is always to make your furry family member feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I’m available on weekends and weekdays. perfect for boarding, walks, or drop-in visits. I love making time every day to care for animals, so your pets will always get the attention they deserve. I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced yard and my daughter loves pet. I’m happy to crate your pet if needed and always supervise outdoor playtime. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure every pet is treated like family, with lots of love, play, and cuddles.

About: I have experience with all sorts of pets like cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, etc. I currently have three pets, ones a senior chiweenie (Chily), a cat (Oliver), and a senior Siberian Husky (Lobo). I make sure that my daily routine matches with your pets needs. I never try to overbook my schedule to make sure your pet gets the best care from me. If taking care of a pet at a clients home I always make sure to follow the clients rules and keep up with their routines such as feeding times and walk times. During pet care at my own home I make sure that all of the pets feel comfortable around each other by slowly introducing everyone.

“Allison was great! Super friendly and communicative. My plans changed but she was super flexible and understanding and she was great with my hyper puppy. We would definitely have her back!”

About: I’ve loved animals ever since I was little. I have a mischievous rescue chihuahua named Bolt and a sweet hearted chiweenie named Louie. They’ve been family members for over 7 years now. I have also volunteered at the SPCA taking care of their puppies and older dogs. I am currently working part time and am available to care for your animals most mornings and afternoons. I am usually available weekends as well! I live in a townhouse with plenty of room for animals with a park nearby. Most of the services I offer are drop ins, but I am very attentive to the details and instructions provided by my customers.

About: I grew up in a family that brought the pets to the family functions. When someone showed up without their babies, we would ask about them like they were a missing piece we needed. We always had a dog and a cat in the household. My grandmother is a dog groomer, and I helped her out from a very young age, so I have seen every temperament, personality type, shape, and size you can think of, and I love them all! As soon as I moved out on my own, I felt something was missing, so I got a cat and then eventually a dog. I have raised them both since they were very young. I am also the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends because they know I want an excuse to hang out with their pets anyway! I care for them like they are family. I am currently looking for work after completing my master's degree, so I have plenty of free time to give your loved one while you are away! I always try to keep pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. During drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, playtime, attention, and plenty of affection based on their personality and comfort level. Safety is very important to me, so I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and any instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets are calm and settled before leaving. I know how important communication is, so I’ll always provide updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

“Great job!”

About: Hey everyone! I have always loved animals of all varieties since a very little girl. I've had a lifetime of experience around animals & pride myself of giving them as much love & care as I can. I grew up in the UK where my dad owned a farm... I would spend my days taking care of our pets, farming duties etc. I have experience from cats, dogs, sheep, chickens, horses, bunnies, rats and everything in between... they were our family, not food! I even studied animal care for a while & got to work with many exotic animals, caring for Tigers, Cheetahs & other big cats, reptiles, amphibians, snakes and more. I have 3 cute kitties with my husband here in Tampa (A tuxedo "Pudge", Orange Tabby "Louie" & Grey Tabby called "Rex/Noodle". But I adore all animals & pets with all of my heart! I have some certificates in Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, Pet Nutrition, Pet Psychology, as taking care of pets & wildlife has always been a passion of mine. All pets deserve the very best! I would absolutely love to be considered & help you in your daily life to care for your precious babies! 💕🐾 I am very flexible, available 7 days a week & would love to help care for your babies no matter their needs.

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents through regular updates and photos. Pet care fits into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to ensure each pet gets consistent care and attention. I’m home full time and able to be flexible, which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and routine they need to feel comfortable and at home. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and affection. I focus on safety, cleanliness, and comfort in both my home and clients homes.

About: Connecting with animals has been my life journey. I have extensive experience and knowledge with all kinds of animals, domestic and exotic. I have had cats, dogs, rats, birds and the occasional rescue of baby raccoons, opossums and turtles. Right now due to my father’s health, I resigned from corporate and have made the decision to care for him. Initially, I took a leave of absence. Prior to these current issues, I always took my girls ( Lucy & Deja ) up to spend weekends all together anyway. Since my mom passed 3 years ago that routine was in place. I am available to be of service to my fellow animal parents and ensure you that I come with a lot of love and respect for your babies. 🌼 I currently am living in a condo with my dogs Lucy and Deja. They get long walks and playtime with their friends in the neighborhood. We all sleep together and I have a gaggle of cats/kittens (from a feral pregnant stray) I took in. When I had my house of 30 years, we had a fenced yard and everyone I know calls me when they have animal “issues”. I have been contacted through work internal team chats to go help the crow that flew into a window (at work). I have carriers and necessary supplies to help in these situations. That crow went immediately to Blue Pearl ( who will take in anything and help save it, humanely euthanize it, or then send to wildlife rehabilitation centers. I can care for all animals and want to be there for your pets.

“James did great with our anxious pup Baloo on their first walk. Baloo usually takes a bit to warm up to new people, but James gained his trust almost immediately. We did the walk together to help Baloo get acclimated, and I know they’ll have a blast alone on future walks!”

About: With a lifelong passion for animal welfare, I bring extensive, hands-on experience to pet care. Having personally raised two cats and two dogs from their earliest stages as kittens and puppies, I possess a deep, intuitive understanding of the unique developmental needs, patience, and specialized attention required at every life stage. Beyond my personal experience, I have long served as the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends, building a reputation for reliability, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Whether navigating complex feeding routines, managing energy levels, or providing gentle, nurturing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My approach combines professional diligence with the heartfelt devotion that comes from a genuine love for animals, ensuring that every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and truly cherished while their owners are away. As an active online student, my schedule is naturally flexible, allowing me to provide high-quality, on-demand pet care. I specialize in one-time, high-attention visits that offer families total peace of mind when their regular routines are interrupted. Because my academic workload shifts weekly, I am excellent at communicating my upcoming openings and maintaining a reliable, professional standard for every single visit. I am eager to provide tailored, loving care for your pets whenever your needs arise. My care philosophy is centered on consistency, safety, and individual connection. Whether I am in my own home or yours, I maintain a structured, calm environment that prioritizes the pet's well-being above all else. For Client-Home Visits: I prioritize keeping the pet’s routine exactly as they know it. Before any visit, I conduct a thorough 'pet briefing' to understand their unique personality, favorite play styles, specific dietary needs, and any health protocols. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, ensuring that I am not just 'checking in,' but providing meaningful enrichment and companionship. With experience raising my own pets from infancy, I am highly attentive to environmental hazards and subtle changes in behavior. I am dedicated to maintaining a clean, secure space and providing undivided attention throughout my time with your pet.My goal is to provide a seamless experience where your pet feels safe, engaged, and truly loaded even if it is just for a single, high-quality visit.
