Doggy Day Care In Virginia Park

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been dog sitting and walking since high school including senior pups, and handling two pups at a time! I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, and giving plenty of love and attention. I recently moved to FL from NY and miss being around my pets every day. I would love to meet your furry friends, take them on walks, play fetch, and keep them happy while you’re away. I will also share updates so you know your pet is in good hands 😊 I currently work a hybrid schedule in accounting so I have availability for morning, lunch time and evening drop ins / walks on Thursdays and Fridays. I also have availability all day for weekends. I will make sure to leave your pup just as I found them whether that’s crated, gated in or collar free to make sure they stay safe!

About: I’m an experienced dog sitter and active foster with a deep understanding of dogs who benefit from patience, consistency, and thoughtful, attentive care. Through fostering, I’ve worked with a wide range of personalities, including dogs adjusting to new environments, managing anxiety, or coming from uncertain backgrounds. I offer overnight boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and walks. My approach is calm, structured, and intentionally low-volume, allowing me to provide a higher level of individualized attention and a predictable, low-stress routine for each dog in my care. When dogs stay in my home, I’m intentional about introductions, supervision, and maintaining a peaceful environment. I limit the number of dogs I care for at one time and thoughtfully consider temperament and compatibility to ensure a safe and comfortable experience. I’m experienced with administering medications, supporting crate routines, reinforcing training cues, and following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and subtle changes, and I communicate proactively with updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog is social and energetic or more sensitive and routine-oriented, my goal is to provide reliable, attentive care in a calm environment where they can feel safe, settled, and genuinely well cared for. Additional Note on Care Options: For dogs who are comfortable around other well-matched dogs, I offer a social boarding environment with thoughtful introductions and supervision. I also offer private, solo care for dogs who require or prefer being the only dog in my home. As this option reserves my full availability and limits additional bookings, a premium rate may apply. If your dog has specific preferences or sensitivities, I’m always happy to discuss the best fit to ensure an exceptional experience. Extended In-Home Care: For in-home visits or daycare sessions exceeding 8 hours, an additional fee may apply to reflect the extended attention and reserved time. This ensures every dog receives consistent, high-quality care throughout the day. I currently run my own business and have a flexible schedule that allows me to work from home or out of the house as needed. Because of this, I’m able to prioritize pet care throughout the day and provide reliable walks, drop-ins, and attentive supervision. I have a fenced in yard at my home, am able to walk dogs as needed and take care of dogs for drop in visits at any south Tampa home.

“Samuel took great care of our Koda. Truly appreciate the care and updates on our precious Koda. Definitely feel comfortable trusting Samuel with our Koda’s care.”

About: Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting with my aunt’s poodle, and it quickly became something I truly enjoy. I’m very patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with different personalities, from energetic puppies to older pets that need extra care and gentleness. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around pet care, making sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m available and fully present to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I make sure every pet is in a safe, clean, and stress free environment at all times. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet gets my full attention. I do occasionally care for my aunt’s poodle, so I’ve made sure my apartment is completely pet friendly and safe. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep their pet’s routine consistent and comfortable.

“Evgenia and her daughter did an amazing job taking care of our puppy, Cooper! From the start, communication was excellent, and they sent us daily updates that really put us at ease while we were out of town. It was clear how loving and attentive they were with him, which meant a lot to us since he’s still so young. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so grateful for the care they provided and would absolutely recommend Evgenia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and kind Rover. Thank you again for treating Cooper as your own!!”

About: Your dog’s safety, happiness, and your peace of mind are my top priorities! With a calm, caring approach and great attention to detail, I make sure every visit is safe, playful, and stress-free. You’ll always get clear, timely updates—because you deserve to know your pup is in good hands! I am able to administer medications if needed, and will provide special care to any ill or disabled pets. Our pets hold a special place in our hearts as if they were children, and I make sure your pet(s) feel loved. I currently work from home and have time throughout the day to play and go for multiple walks a day. I am available all days of the week for care! I have plenty of space in my home for your pet to feel comfortable to run around (zoomies, if that's the case), or they can lay around and be lazy. Either way your dog is free to be themselves.

“Danielle to excellent care of my puppy. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Great communication. Would highly recommend and definitely would book Danielle again. Thank you so much!”

About: With 35 plus year of experience as a pet owner, starting as a teen with my 2 cats and later on a beautiful soulful Samoyed, Toby, from age 4 months to 14 years old, a spunky Poodle, Lolita, from age 2 to 12 years, and a top hat Terrier Mix, Ryder, from age 2 to 14 years. I have also fostered dogs for the past 4 years, and as a result, I am failed foster mom of a sweet Yorkie Poodle, Roxy, age 2 adopted in the Fall 2024. As mentioned, I am experienced with puppies and older dogs. Your fur baby will have plenty of walks every 4 hours and tentatively cared for throughout the day and will also receive tons of love from our 12-year-old twins whenever they come home from extracurricular activities. My spouse and I work full-time from home, so there is someone home at all times and available during the week. Our weekends are also flexible with some advance notice for drop-off and pick-up. Your dog will always have company, 3-4 dog walks, a back yard with shade areas, and plenty of sunshine and playtime. Lots of room to roam around. We will make sure your dog is loved and attended.

About: Update December 2024: I’m excited to be back on Rover and ready to help care for your furry friends. I recently said goodbye to my beloved dog, Taz, who lived a beautiful, long life filled with love. Being a lifelong dog lover, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your pup. Over the years, I’ve been so grateful for the support and boarding help I received for Taz, and now I’m here to pay it forward to dog owners in my area I work from my home and also have lots of flexibility with my schedule….I make my own schedule and i am also an empty nester I have a large caged in backyard and there is also a fence. I have lived in my home for almost 10 years and centrally located in south tampa.

About: I have taken care of all the animals, fish, dogs big and small and the kitties! I love all the animals! Can’t wait to meet them! I work a very flexible job! 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!

“Virginia was wonderful! She did an amazing job sending videos and pictures throughout the day, which made me feel so reassured. My puppy absolutely loved playing with her pup, and he matched her energy so well. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was happy, engaged, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Virginia!”
