Dolphin watching & sunsets on Old Tampa Bay
Introduction
Hi I'm Cathi. I live in beautiful Tampa Fl. I'm an Event Operations Manager & with face-to-face meetings returning. I'm finding that I'm needing to travel again. I have plenty of friends that will watch Petey (Petey's my dog). But would much rather have him stay at home with someone, than drop him somewhere. So that brings me here to THS.

I live on the water in old Tampa Bay. The neighbor is called Bay Crest. It is a beautiful amazing friendly, boating community. The condo community is old, built in 1970. But well maintained. My Condo is not fancy. But the dock and the channel are about 8 ft from the screened patio and the pool is about 100 yards away. The condo is a 1st floor, 2 bedroom 1.5 bath, with a full-size washer & dry. When I moved back to Tampa a few years ago, I sold everything. So I'm still replenishing. I have the basics, sofa, chair big screen TV, I stream everything, so not cable box) and the guest/sitters bedroom is fully furnished and has a queen-size bed. But I don't not a lot of pictures or nik-naks. I do have a really great paddleboard & you are welcome to use it. Just ask that you please wash off the saltwater when you done. My place is 12 mins from Tampa International airport. About 20 mins from Raymond James Stadium. (Go Bucs) 20 mins from downtown Tampa, 20 Mins from Safety Harbor. (one of my favorite places) and about 45 mins to Clearwater & St Pete.

Petey is the best boy. He super popular in the neighborhood & everyone loves him He is SUPER laid back, unless he sees a dolphin. I work from home so Petey gets more walks than most dogs. He gets a good long walk in the morning & will wake you up around 6:30 - 7am. We usually walk about 45 mins. Sometime longer depending on who we see on the walk. He gets breakfast after the morning walk. Then he gets a noon walk down the seawall. He will walk up & down the docks and lay under the oak tree for a few mins. (he's looking for dolphins). He gets treat after this walk. Then he take a another "business" walk around 5:30 - 6:00. Dinner around 6:30 - 7 and a final pee walk around 8:30 - 9:30 and gets a small cookie before bed. He also loves to play tug-war with rope toys. Remember he's a beagle so his only jobs are shifting, which is why his walks are so longs.. and he will eat ANYTHING he can so you have to watch what he's sniffing. Should you leave him to go explore. He's good for 6-7 hours on his own.

Petey is an earth angel, and he is the sweetest, best behaved dog ever! I loved this stay because it's in a very quiet neighborhood with the most peaceful backyard. It was perfect to stay in and focus on work. Cathi was very kind and caring, and communication was excellent the whole time!

Sitting for Cathi and her pup Petey, was so enjoyable. Cathi was wonderful and her home was warm and inviting. As for Petey, he was such a joy. The location was ideal too, for site seeing in Tampa and surrounding areas. I would highly recommend this sit. 💙

Petey is a friendly dog and was easy to get along with and care for. Cathy is a nice lady and she left us with easy to follow instructions for the dog's medication and dietary needs as well. The apartment was clean, neighbors friendly, and good location in Tampa.

What an awesome experience with the special "dolphin dog". Dolphins literally swim in the canal in front and the dog lets everyone know when they are there. So glad for this great opportunity with great dog and great dog mom.

It was such a pleasure to sit for Cathi and spend some quality time with Petey….he is a gentle and sweet doggy who loves going for daily walks and see some of his furry friends in the neighbourhood …Cathi’s home was very clean and comfortable especially the lanai facing right in front of the canal and the mangroves behind it….. the best place to rest and relax as it felt like being in a bird sanctuary watching flying fish and all kind of birds …the best treat of all was when dolphins came by and swam along the canal..very special..it was a very special treat for Petey as well as he was so excited to see them, barking and pulling all his might to let everyone know that they were here! Cathi’s home is close to everything including beautiful beaches, great small cities in the Tampa area…hope to sit for Cathi again or at the least to come by and visit when in the area so I can see them again and spend some time with Petey that I miss already. Thank you Cathi for trusting me for taking care of Petey!
