“This was my first time using Rover, and Catherine far exceeded my expectations! She agreed to a meet and greet with my pup and me before boarding started, and I could immediately feel her warmth (and my pup felt comfortable too). Catherine kept me updated, sending me pictures daily. She was so kind and took such good care of my girl. I would 100% recommend Catherine for anyone who wants to leave their pup with a loving sitter! 🤍”
“Amazing! My dog loved Shayna from the moment she met her! Was very calm, easy process and we appreciated the pics and updates from Shayna too! Loved it, thank you. Hope to see Shayna again!”
“Hermun did a thorough meet and greet and made sure Bella and I were comfortable and accommodated. She has always been flexible with my schedule and sends pics and updates. Bella loves snuggling with Max!”
“Evgenia and her daughter were wonderful with my dog Jackson! He is a senior and has to take daily pills and they kept me updated throughout my trip that he was taking them and sent pictures of him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter that will treat your dog as their own.”
“"She was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was traveling to Tampa. She is very caring, loving, and responsible. She kept me updated and made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. When I came back, my dog was happy and well taken care of. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!"”
“We were very happy with Margarita and Clarissa. They treated our dog with love and care. They sent pictures and gave updates almost every day. Their home is large and comfortable.”
“Samuel took wonderful care of Coco. Communication was great from the start, and he kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. His home and location were perfect and made drop-off easy, and Coco was comfortable right away. She’ll definitely be back—she already misses him!”
“Cassandra was excellent with Pepper. Great communication with daily updates and photos. My old girl was not stressed at all while I was away. Would definitely recommend Cassandra and will be requesting her again!”

“Maxine was fantastic with our baby boy Rambo! We booked last minute stay because we wanted to provide our other baby with one last peaceful weekend before we said goodbye as she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Maxine knew this and was so compassionate in her communication with us and kept our spirits high by sending the most hilarious pictures of Rambo in tons of different costumes and scenarios. We’re so grateful that we found her and had her as our sitter, she made a very difficult time in our lives much easier by taking such great care of Rambo, which allowed us to give our sweet baby girl the best weekend send off.”
“Nicole was great with our dog and provided us with pictures and updates. Our dog follows a strict diet and take medications- these were not an issue for Nicole. We felt comfortable leaving our baby with her and plan to use her for future stays.”
“Amazing sitter for Sparkles! She sent great updates and clearly gave lots of love and attention. When our flight got delayed, she happily extended the stay an extra day with zero hassle. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter. Would book her again in a heartbeat!”

“Our dog Margaux had the best time staying with Autumn and their dog Baylor. Autumn was a very thorough caretaker and sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. She gave us plenty of updates and our dog looked sad to leave them when we picked her up! We will definitely be contacting Autumn again for our future Rover needs.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off since I was about 12 years old, from pet sitting for friends and family to helping care for dogs at my boyfriend’s family’s dog kennel in Virginia. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while you’re away! When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day! My schedule is flexible for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company. I only accept bookings when I know I’ll be home and able to give your pet the time and care they deserve. I live in a spacious apartment in a gated community with plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking schedule, and any specific instructions you provide. Their safety and comfort are always my priority.
“Michael was wonderful with our Sheltie! He sent updates and photos every day and we felt completely comfortable during our two weeks with him. He also has access to an amazing play space where she spent a lot of time outdoors. We will definitely book with Michael again!”
“Absolutely Amazing! Super patient. Great with my dog who tends to pull a lot on walks. Great communication. Updated me throughout the stay. Viviana made a stressful trip waaaay easier. Thanks Viviana!!!”

“Lexy was wonderful and we will be working with her again! As a first time user on Rover, I was pretty nervous and unsure of what to expect. Especially seeing as most people specialize with dogs - I was looking for someone to come stay with my kitten for the weekend while I was out of town. Not only did Lexy take amazing care of her, but she was extremely communicative and helpful. She sent plenty of check ins and photos, and was extremely responsive and responsible. It couldn’t have worked out better!”
“We’ve had such a great experience with Amber so far! She does daily checks in on our golden every day for has always been reliable and on time. She feeds him, plays with him, makes sure he gets outside and gets some attention each day while we are at work. She’s great with him, and it’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. We really appreciate how dependable and caring she is and would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was about for about 7 years for neighbors and friends. I have also walked my elderly neighbor's dog for them when they were unable to. I am currently working full time but I love to go on long walks in my spare time! I enjoy being outside and meeting new fur babies. Depending on how you request, I could meet you at your front door or come into your home to retrieve your fur baby to take them on a walk. I do understand that living in Florida where is mostly hot and humid and some dogs cannot handle the heat or become exhausted easily. However long you request to have your dog walked I will bring a water bowl for your pet to stay hydrated. :) I am currently working full time but I am trying to open up my schedule more by the end of summer. But I am currently available on the weekends and some days during the week. I can be flexible to just message me and I will let you know! Walking your dog around your neighborhood where your fur baby is familiar is important to me! I will make sure your fur baby has plenty of water and time to enjoy themselves on our walk. For drop ins I will sit with your baby as long as is needed. Making sure they get cuddles, stimulation, meds, and just some human time.
“Anna was perfect for my little Obi. She delivered excellent care, and Obi was very fond of her. It was my first time leaving him for a while, but Anna made sure I always knew he was safe, fed, and happy Will definitely book Anna again and recommend to friends.”
“Ahmed was very responsive, followed all instructions exactly, and provided plenty of picture and video updates. Also my dog loved him! Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors over the years, including walking, feeding, playing, and making sure they’re comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to provide patient, reliable, and attentive care. Whether your dog enjoys an active walk or a slower pace with plenty of sniffing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. As a remote business owner, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I’m able to give each dog the time and attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care that fits their routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. During walks, I use secure leash handling, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid situations that could make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. In your home, I’ll treat your space with respect, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure your pet has fresh water, plenty of attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands.
“Riley was awesome! We had a bit of trouble getting her keys to our apartment ( a huge miscommunication with our leasing office ) and she was flexible with helping us get a set of keys to her. We loved to see the pictures and the written updates about how the cats were doing! Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life, not just as a sitter, but as someone who has shown up for them. I raised my own dog from puppyhood all the way through her senior years, and I was there for every stage in between. I also cared for my roommate's elderly dog who had one ear and cataracts, making sure he felt safe, comfortable, and loved every single day. Now I have a rescue pup of my own, so I understand firsthand the patience and heart it takes to care for a dog with a unique background. As a former D1 athlete, staying active is just part of who I am, which means your dog will always get a real walk, not just a quick trip around the block. Whether your pup is young and energetic or older and needs a gentler touch, I know how to meet them where they are. Your dog deserves someone who genuinely cares, and that's exactly what I bring every time! I recently moved to Tampa and love making pet care a core part of my routine here. My schedule is flexible, so I can work around your pet's needs, whether that's an early morning walk, midday visit, or an afternoon outing. I'm passionate about staying active, and getting outside with a dog is one of my favorite parts of the day, so the more time we get together, the better! When I'm in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. Your pet's routine, comfort, and environment stay exactly as they know it! I work around their schedule. I make sure they're secure, stimulated, and never left feeling unsettled. With experience caring for senior dogs with special needs, I'm attentive to the little things that make a big difference, whether that's medication reminders, mobility limitations, or just knowing when a dog needs quiet time vs. playtime. Your home and your pet are in trustworthy hands.
About: Hi! I grew up in a house with two cats and two dogs, so I’ve always loved being around animals. I joined Rover because I enjoy helping pet owners feel at ease while they’re away. I’ll make sure your cat is well cared for, gets plenty of attention, and stays on their normal routine.
“Arlinda is amazing and took such great care of our three kitties while we were out of the country. She checked in with us each day and always made sure to communicate any changes around the house or with the cats. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing pet care in Tampa!”
“This was my first time utilizing this platform and for my puppies to be watched by anyone but family. I’m not going to lie, was initially nervous about it, however Anthony quickly squashed any reservations. Just from him taking the extra time a day prior to walk the home and perform a meet and greet with the pets, consistently staying in communication, providing pictures and asking for additional ways he could help ensure the puppies would not feel lonely. I fully recommend anyone that is very particular about there four legged family members :) give Anthony a chance, you won’t regret it.”

“Evgenia was able to watch Shadow on very short notice, and I really appreciate it. She is nice, communicates well, and most importantly, she took great care of my baby. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: We are lifelong animal lovers with over 30 years of combined experience caring for pets. Jeni grew up with German Shepherds and has always had a dog in the home. She began pet sitting as a service for friends and family 15 years ago. Marc also grew up with family dogs and, for the past 13 years, he’s loved on his own high-energy pup, Cooper. Now as a married couple we have a “blended family” with our senior dog Cooper and our adult dog Leila as our loyal companions. Because we both work from home with flexible schedules, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We love animals of all sizes and personalities and treat every pet like part of the family. Whether you need us to watch your dog in our home, drop in for visits, or take them on a walk, your furbaby will be in great hands! For dogs staying in our home, we have a secure fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and enjoy the outdoors. Since we both work from home, we’re able to let our own dogs outside whenever they want to go - yours will be treated just like our own! Our goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. We’re always happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. Pet care fits naturally into our flexible work-from-home schedule, allowing frequent walks, playtime, feeding, and attentive supervision throughout the day. Our flexible schedule also gives us the chance to take the dogs on a walk through the day. 🐾 We have two dogs and a securely fenced in yard where they play outside many times a day. For stays in our home, dogs can be let outside as often as they want to go outside. For drop in visits, we follow your instructions and requests.
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelle. My dog is super anxious, so I was really worried about leaving her in someone else’s care—but the minute Michelle opened the door, Mabel ran right in. It was an instant bond. Both Mabel and I could immediately feel Michelle’s warmth and kindness. I felt completely at ease knowing she’s an experienced dog sitter and that Mabel was in such good hands. When I picked Mabel up, she was calm and happy. Now, whenever we go back, Mabel runs straight through the door, so excited to see her—which says everything.”

Would be able to go check on your babies throughout the day and stay over night whenever needed! :) I am a homebody so I am good to stay and hang out with your animal as needed! I can also do drop ins and come back and let them out late and back early in the am! We can take long walks or just let them have a sniff-ari 😉. I treat them like they are my own! I can also board your sweet babies with me at my boyfriend’s apartment! He’s doesn't have any animals so it’s a great place for animals if they need to be alone!

“Dawn was amazing! She accepted my last-minute booking, took great care of my dog, and kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Voici une version corrigée : Kierra was absolutely amazing with Lucky! She took such great care of her and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Lucky was happy, comfortable, and well loved while he was with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely book with Kierra again. Thank you so much!”
“Alex is so easy to work with! I originally connected with Alex in hopes that I could find an occasional weekend sitter but he takes such good care of Shadow that I am using him even on my week days while I go into the office or have errands. I highly recommend.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals. I have experience caring for pets who need extra attention, including senior pets, anxious pets, and animals with medical needs. I’m also comfortable giving medications and following specific care routines, as I have my own pets who require daily medication and extra support. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy planning my time around each pet's needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. My biggest priority when caring for pets is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very attentive when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, behaviors, and changes in mood or energy. Having pets of my own, including ones with health needs, I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and notice when something seems off.

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!)

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from growing up with them to now having two dogs of my own, Moon and Pearl. I’m a genuine dog lover and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, energy level and needs. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your dogs when you can’t be there. Whether your dog loves a long, energetic walk, prefers a slower stroll with plenty of time to sniff, or simply needs some extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention and care I give Moon and Pearl—and make sure you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Although my wife is in my profile photo, I will be taking care of your pups independently.

I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I enjoy being active and outdoors, and I’m happy to tailor walks to your dog’s normal routine, pace and energy level. Although my wife is in my profile photo, I will be taking care of your pups independently. As a longtime dog owner, I know how much trust it takes to put your dog—and access to your home—in someone else’s hands. My wife and I feel the same way when someone cares for Moon and Pearl. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s personality, routine and your specific instructions, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with respect. On walks, I stay attentive to your dog, our surroundings, traffic, other animals and anything that could affect their safety or comfort.

About: I have my own pets and know how I would want someone to treat my animals :) looking to fill in my day with sunshine and pets! I have plenty of time for walks or drop in visits, and am happy to work with dogs and cats. I am looking to get out of my work environment and spend time with animals I will care for your pets like I would my own, and will drop in and/or walk pets happily.

“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: While my adult years have been primarily dedicated to canine care, my appreciation for felines began in childhood and continues to grow. I regularly engage with the cats of close friends and companions, which has taught me to highly respect the unique boundaries of feline behavior. Whether your cat is highly affectionate and craves attention, or prefers to be admired from a comfortable distance, I am adept at reading their body language and honoring their preferences.Combined with my extensive experience managing complex canine medical needs and high-energy routines, I offer a structured, safe, and highly observant environment for your cats. You can rest assured that your feline companion will receive the exact level of interaction, respect, and reliable care they require. I currently work part time/ as needed as a nurse while I’m getting my Masters! I have an extremely flexible schedule for early morning, middays, or afternoons. I have two fur babies at home that get along with all dogs, but if your baby needs more one on one care I’d be happy to visit them in their comfort zone.
About: What sets us apart is that your dog becomes part of a real, active family home—not just a boarding situation. With a structured daily routine, lots of attention, and a home full of care, we treat every dog like they belong with us. Your pup won’t be left alone in a quiet kennel environment—they’ll be included in family life, walks, and consistent companionship. Someone is almost always home too so you know your baby is in constant care. I am a preschool teacher and am off summer and holiday breaks. I work mornings and am only a 60 second walk from the church I work at so am available to come home quickly! We have watched many, many dogs for friends and family in past and now with the kids of age to work and the love of dogs we’re expanding! I am a preschool teacher at my church that is a 60 second walk from my house, I also have teenage triplets who both babysit and dog sit (they love to do both), so someone is always home and available for walks, feedings, and love. The triplets are very active sports wise so having our own dog in this season isn’t an option so we love any and all opportunities to have one in our home, it is such a blessing! We have a wonderful, quiet street near Bayshore perfect for walking. Most of the people on our street our retired with dogs so dogs are the children around here! Having three teenagers as well who absolutely love dogs ensures your pup is being overfilled with love.
“Bre was absolutely great! I had a scheduling issue with my original plans, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She adjusted the schedule to fit my family’s needs, which took a huge amount of stress off my plate. It was clear she genuinely cared about helping everything go smoothly. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and willingness to work with us. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and understanding dog sitter/walker.”

About: I've had my own dog for 11 years now, before that I grew up with a family chocolate lab. I've always had dogs in my life and my sister is a vet so I've experienced a lot and learned a lot. I would never let a dog get hurt! I treat dogs like humans :) I know what to do in many different situations because I've had experience with dogs my entire life, big and small. My boyfriend and I have watched a dog overnight for 2 weeks before. Our dog, Piper is nice and relaxed and gets along well with others. She loves having a friend around like she did when I was in college living with my roommate who had a Maltese. Day to day: I wake up at 7, walk my dog, then feed her. We hang out, I might go run some errands and puppy proof the apartment before I leave. I'll come back and let her out again. At night I let her out once after I feed her at 7, so about 8:30, then once more before I go to bed. I play with my dog a lot and she likes to snuggle. I would do all these things for your dog and anything else you request! My schedule is flexible, so I can fit walks into your dog’s routine with ease. I’m based in South Tampa and happy to travel up to 45 minutes. I keep my bookings consistent and reliable, and I’ll always show up on time and ready to give your pup a great walk. Since I offer dog walking, I come to you and care for your dog in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions on leashing, routes, and routine exactly. Safety is my top priority: I keep your dog leashed, avoid hazards, stay alert to their body language, and never put them in a situation that feels off. My sister is a vet, so I know how to spot when something is wrong.
About: I have grown up with dogs and different pets my whole life. I will walk, play and feed your pets. But most importantly I'll show love to your pet. During walks, I can keep a pace and pick up after them. I have personally had dogs my whole life and they have been all sizes from a Yorkie mix to a Great Dane and in between. I have pet sit for very many people including cats and dogs. The safety of your pet is very important to me and I will do my best to take care of it because I understand that they are more than pets but they are family. I currently work with marine animal care so providing a safe environment for your pet is my top priority. I have a lot of availability throughout the week and weekends. The safety of me and your pet comes first. Throughout high school and college I have had twelve reoccurring clients for house sitting, dog and cat sitting.
“Spencer was amazing. Great communication and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was taken care of. I highly recommend using Spencer for any of your pet care!”
“Candace was so great with our frenchie! We so appreciated her patience in making sure Ruby was comfortable and had time to warm up to her. We definitely recommend Candace!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide your pet with plenty of attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to stick to your pet's normal routine, whether that means regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Your pet won't be left alone for long periods, and I'll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away. My flexible schedule also allows me to accommodate last-minute bookings and provide dependable care when you need it most. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by providing reliable, loving care in a safe environment.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off since I was about 12 years old, from pet sitting for friends and family to helping care for dogs at my boyfriend’s family’s dog kennel in Virginia. I’m comfortable around dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities, and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and love while you’re away! When I’m not traveling for work, I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day! My schedule is flexible for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of company. I only accept bookings when I know I’ll be home and able to give your pet the time and care they deserve. I live in a spacious apartment in a gated community with plenty of room for your pet to feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, walking schedule, and any specific instructions you provide. Their safety and comfort are always my priority.

About: Hi! My name is Caden, and I have a lifelong love for animals. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with kindness, patience, and the same love and care they receive from their family. I currently serve in the United States Air Force, where I've developed discipline, reliability, and exceptional attention to detail. Those qualities carry over into the care I provide for every pet. You can count on me to follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet's routine, and prioritize their safety at all times. I've cared for family pets throughout my life and have experience with animals of many different sizes and temperaments. I have also cared for a variety of other animals, including raccoons and other exotic animals. Most recently, I boarded a fellow Air Force member's dog for a full week, providing daily walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I enjoy walking dogs of all breeds and sizes and understand that every pet has unique needs. Living in Florida, I'm especially aware of the risks associated with the heat, including hot pavement, dehydration, and exhaustion. I plan walks around the weather, check pavement temperatures, provide water when needed, and always make your pet's comfort and safety my highest priority. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or companionship while you're away, you can have peace of mind knowing they'll be cared for like one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My availability is every day after 3:00 PM, and I also offer boarding for pets who need a safe and comfortable place to stay. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, which is why I focus on providing a secure, caring, and stress-free environment. During boarding stays, I make sure pets receive proper attention, exercise, companionship, and a routine that helps them feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs an evening walk, a drop-in visit, or a place to stay overnight, I am committed to providing dependable care and treating every pet like family. Safety, trust, and a positive environment are my highest priorities when caring for your pets. I understand that your pet is a valued member of your family, and I treat every animal with the same care, patience, and attention I would want for my own. With my background in the United States Air Force, I bring discipline, responsibility, and attention to detail to every visit. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you are away. I focus on creating a safe and stress-free environment where pets can feel relaxed, loved, and protected. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or boarding stay, I prioritize proper supervision, safe handling, and clear communication with owners so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“We first did a meet and greet with Rachel and her dog, Zeplin. The dogs were just fine together. I would definitley board again with Rachel. She was communicative and sent pictures of my dog doing just fine every day. She even worked with me on my pick up schedule since my flight was late getting back into town. Very nice!!”
About: I recently lost my soul dog of 16 years and would love to care for yours. I had Sadie from birth, and well versed with puppies, high energy dogs, and seniors. Comfortable administering medications and implementing any training or routines your dog needs. I work remote with a flexible schedule, and am typically home most days and evenings to spend with your pup and stick to their routine. I have a nice size fenced in yard, plus live close to Bayshore for long walks. If your dog is comfortable, I would enjoy taking them to the dog beach.
