“Naomi is an exceptional part of my dogs life! She has been helping me care for KoKo for the past year and has always kept me informed and even given me advice as a 1st time dog owner! She is reliable and loves the animals she cares for. I feel so lucky to have found someone so caring to help me with my fur baby!”

About: Coming from a family that loves animals, I’ve always been around and taken care of pets. My experience has been walking/petsitting for family and friends, mostly dogs but occasionally cats. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I have a very flexible work schedule. I am currently a student in flight school, which only requires short daily in-person commitment, so I am very flexible with timing. Most of my studying is done online so I am able to care for your pet at any time it is convenient for you. I am unable to provide care in my own apartment due to its size, but I am very clean and respectful of clients homes when visiting for care. I am a great communicator and will respond quickly as well as follow any requests or instructions you make.

“Allexus is great! She is very nice and incredibly reliable. I highly recommend her.”

“Cynthia was so sweet with our pup. She was on time and reliable and kept us up to date with notes about her visits. We could tell our pup was well cared for while we were away!”

About: I have had and cared for dogs all my life. Love dogs of all sizes and personalities! Will drop by for walks, playtime, potty breaks and tender loving care!! I am extremely reliable and have the time to care for your dog Monday thru Sunday, early to late. Can be flexible and can do multiple visits throughout the day. Just let me know when, where and how many times per day you need and we'll make it happen. I keep my calendar updated at all times.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs for the past few years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I do my best to keep them comfortable by following their normal schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and rest. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent care, whether that’s morning, afternoon, or evening walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable.

“Carpenter was very kind ! Even though my dog didn’t want to be bothered carpenter still carried out his duties . Bravo!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Serena Is Wonderful! Serena has been amazing with our Lab, Rebel, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She’s incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and Rebel absolutely loves his time with her. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and brings such a calm, positive energy. One thing we appreciate most is how dependable she is — Serena is always willing to step in and help whenever we need extra support, which has been such a lifesaver for us. Her communication and reliability are top-notch, and we always feel confident knowing Rebel is in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Serena to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker — we’ll definitely keep using her!”

About: Hi! I’m Maddie and I've been an animal person all my life, current cat mom, and the friend everyone calls when they need someone trustworthy to watch their pets. I’ve had cats my whole life, but I've also cared for many dogs belonging to friends, family, and partner helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. Big dogs, tiny dogs, shy dogs, dramatic dogs I help with walks, fee…I’ve met them all. I’m patient, reliable, and really attentive to each pet’s personality and routine. Some animals warm up right away, and others need a little time — I’m happy to go at their pace and figure out what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back etc., I give them the same level of care and respect I give my own animals. I work from home/nearby studio, so my schedule is pretty flexible and it’s easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for walks, drop‑ins, and pet sitting during the week, depending on what your pet needs and where you’re located. I’m in South Tampa near Hyde Park and Palma Ceia, and I’m happy to drive to nearby areas. Since my days aren’t rushed, I can actually spend time with your pet, stick to their routine, and make sure they feel relaxed and at ease instead of squeezing visits in. When I’m caring for pets, I keep things safe, calm, and predictable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and comfort level so they never feel rushed or unsure. If I’m in your home, I follow your rules exactly - feeding times, crate habits, walking routes, whatever your pet is used to. I’m careful about the basics: I check gates, keep doors secure, and always supervise outdoor time. Some pets need a slow introduction, others just want reassurance, and I’m happy to go at their pace. My goal is always the same - making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“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: 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: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience with energetic puppies and taking sweet care of older pets. I’m dedicated to making sure each pet feels special and loved! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, even with my school schedule. I fit in walks and feeding before and after classes, and I make time for play and training in the evenings, I’m also free on the weekends and able to give pets extra attention and care. Balancing school and pet care requires planning, but it ensures that pets receive the attention and love they deserve. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on making them feel comfortable and happy. I stick to their feeding schedules and provide regular exercise and playtime. I create a cozy environment with their favorite toys and bedding. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions and keep them updated, making sure their pets feel as at ease as they would with their owners.

About: Hello! Recently, I was laid off from my job in corporate america, and am now working part time and walking people’s pups! As a pet owner myself, I take pride in making sure our pets have the proper care and are thriving. I’ve taken care of friends and family’s pets before, walking, playing, and feeding, and I’m looking forward to caring care of your pet too! A little about me: 🏳️‍🌈🏋️‍♂️🧳🫐🍣 Right now, I’m working part time and caring for dogs. But I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule as needed! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pup(s)! Personally, my dogs love to be outside but do not like the heat.. so having indoor play space is a plus! Tug of war and a light game of fetch is our “go to”, and I can’t wait to play with your pup too!

“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!”
