Dog Walking University

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs including hyper, calm, small, and large!

I also have experience administering different forms of medication to your furry friend. I am available in the mornings on weekdays from 7-10AM, and the afternoon from 1-10PM. My weekends, including Friday-Sunday are completely open. Let me know what time works for you! I provide loving and reliable care for pets in your home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on their regular schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any other care they need. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have had many dogs of my own since childhood. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and understanding of each dog’s unique personality and needs. I know that every pet has their own routine, energy level, and personality, and I make sure they receive the same love and attention I would give my own pets. What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as just a job, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing by your side, I’m happy to give them the care and companionship they need. I am currently a university student, so my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on my class schedule. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I have grown up with many dogs throughout my life, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I will follow your pet’s routine, keep them supervised, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and care. My goal is to make your pet feel right at home while giving you peace of mind that they are in good hands.

“Jasmine has been AMAZING with taking my dog baby on walks during the week when I work! It has been such a help since I have longer work day. She is trustworthy and always gentle and caring of my dog. She goes above and beyond to even defend and make sure she is safe!”

I am used to dogs jumping and play bites. I am also used to bathing cats and dogs, when necessary, and administering medication to them as well.

About: Hi there! It's a pleasure to "meet" you. My name is Morgan and, while I may be new to Rover, I am no stranger to animal care. Like a lot of us, I grew up with an array of critters in the household (siblings included). As I grew older, I took that love and found dedication and drive. I received a professional education in Exotic Animal Training and Management working with a broad array of species in a zoological setting, went on to become a marine mammal trainer and, most recently, work with many avian species at a magical place nearby. (If you think that's a lot - ask me about other industries I managed along the way!) Here at Rover, I am available for most all of your pet care needs. I will happily provide walks, visits or extended care to your bonus family members. Please don't hesitate to reach out if that includes more than your average dog/cat - I can be there for them all. Training is in my nature so I will gladly continue any behaviors you're working on in our time together as well. I look forward to creating wonderful relationships with both you and your [fur/feather/scale*] babies! I am available any time via Rover messages for questions and/or scheduling concerns. Until next time, Morgan I am currently self-employed with a flexible schedule. I’d be happy to accommodate your needs within a day’s notice. Reach out with any requests, big or small! My practices are adaptable to the needs of each pet. They are individuals just as much as you and I, therefore, my approach will be tailored accordingly. Of course, as a base, every client will always receive my utmost attention to detail and highest level of care.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, as well as smaller mammals. Very comfortable with all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. References are available upon request. I work full time M-Fri 8am-5pm. I am available all weekends unless stated. If located close to my home, I am willing to stop by immediately after work to walk/feed/play! I currently do not offer boarding as I have three kitties of my own at home and don’t have a fence. However, I’m open to making your pet feel as comfortable as they can be in their own home

About: Hey, I’m Hayden! I’ve always been the person friends call when they need someone to watch their pet, and I genuinely love it. I have my own dog and cat at home, so I’m used to the different routines, the zoomies, and the snuggles. I’m also a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA), so I’m comfortable handling meds and keeping an eye on any health needs. I’m in the Tampa area and happy to help with drop-ins or overnight sits. I’ll stick to your routine, send updates, and treat your animal like my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work part time, so I have a pretty open availability. Specific days may vary, but that can be discussed! I can always work around my schedule for your fur babies. I'm very flexible when it comes to schedules your animals follow. I typically do 3 visits a day, including feedings and walks/playtime, but I am more than flexible to work with you!

“Wonderful communication and goes above and beyond for your pets.”

About: Hi, I’m Troy ! I’ve been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my friends and family for years, specializing in multi-day house sitting for both dogs and cats. Throughout my life, I have rescued multiple dogs—including large breeds—and have extensive experience managing complex health needs ranging from severe skin conditions and allergies to senior dogs dealing with cancer. Because of this, I am completely comfortable following precise medical schedules and specialized diets. Whether your pet needs a high-energy walk, an active play session, or just a patient, loving companion to maintain their comfort and routine while you are away, I treat every animal I watch like my own family! As a recent college graduate I have a lot of free time. I am currently waiting for online grad school to start up. I couldn’t think of a better way to make a living than to help take care of our furry friends. I love cats and dogs and have lived with both for my whole life and taken care of family and friends pets for years. With my schedule being so open I am more than comfortable and available to cat or dog sit for multiple days, for routine walks throughout the week, and even for simple play and interaction whenever needed! Your pet's safety and peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. When caring for your furry family member in your home, I treat your space with total respect and strictly adhere to your established household routines to keep their stress levels low. Because of my extensive background with rescues and high-needs pets, I am incredibly observant, hyper-vigilant about locking doors/gates, and completely comfortable following precise medication or dietary instructions. You can count on me for regular, transparent communication and plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, secure, and loved just like they are my own.

About: I can proudly say that I have about 15 years of dog care experience, of all sizes. During my visit, I will make sure your fur baby is fed, has plenty of water to drink and receives love and attention from me. I will clean up any poop/pee accidents if they happen to go to the bathroom before my scheduled arrival. I am also comfortable with administrating oral medication, if needed. At this time, I can only accept drop in and/or walk visits Thursday-Sunday. There might be one additional helper to come along with me (my toddler). I live near University of South Florida. Currently, I have two dogs and a toddler at home, therefore I am unavailable for doggy daycare and overnight care. However, I can offer 2-3 drop in visits a day if I have an advance notice from you so I can adjust my availability for other clients.

About: Hi there! My name is Melanie and I'm 19.

During drop-ins and walks, I'll make sure to keep up with any routines your pets may have. This includes feeding schedules, walking schedules and locations, play time, crate time, etc.
