Dog Walking Anchor Bay Harbor

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, as well as fish. I have most experience with large bully breeds. I had a black Labrador/Chow mix and English Mastiff growing up. I unfortunately recently lost my 13yr old American Bulldog in November of 2023, and 10 yr old Pitbull in May 2024 to cancer. We had both girls since they were pups so it was an huge devastation to our family. We currently have our 10 yr old Calico cat that was raised with them since a kitten. I have dog sat for friends and family as well in the past. I have experience giving oral medications and supplements if needed. I know how hard it is to work full-time and still have time to give the love and attention to your dogs that you want for them. I know many people have a hard time trusting doggy daycare with other strange dogs and the little one on one time they receive with handlers. I can give you the peace of mind knowing your pet is being well taken care of and receiving all the love and attention they deserve. I currently work part time from home. I am usually available Monday - Thursday after 2pm, and open availability on the weekends depending on my son’s sports schedule or vacations planned. Your pets will receive a lot of attention and love along with any necessary needs. I am in good physical condition and can lift or handle strong, heavy dogs as well.

“We we very comfortable leaving our two dogs for the day, she walked them 3 times and made sure they had food and water.. I will certainly be using her service again!”

“Lauren has been fantastic! We hired her at the beginning of this year for a few days a week to walk our Weimaraner. He’s a big puppy with a lot of energy and she has been amazing with him. She communicates with us on how his visits and walks go. She has been incredibly flexible with a few times we have even had to change our schedule around. We are so thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing her services.”

“Courtney did a fantastic job with my boys. I had a family emergency out of town and she was reliable and efficient. The boys liked her pretty quickly too! My pup decided to demolish a box of Kleenex while I was away and Courtney cleaned it all up for me too! I will definitely have Courtney watch the boys again in the future! She is a little angel!

“Mikayla walked our dog for 5 days. She was always on time and Enzo loved his walks. We would definitely recommend her and will be working with her for our future needs.”

About: I love all animals but I have lots of experience with dogs. I have helped my family and friends take care of their dogs since I was 13. They trusted me to stay with their pets overnight, drop in and visit them and let them out, and just play with them or walk them. Every person has trusted me multiple times, allowing me to help out again! I am at home working a waitressing job as well so my hours will fluctuate but they will always be available from 6-9 a.m. on the week days and all day Sunday Unfortunately I cannot house dogs because I am in my parents house but I am able to drive somewhere close to give your dog a walk.

“Maddie A. is an outstanding pet sitter. She provided exceptional care for Percy while I was away at a concert, keeping me updated with regular check-ins throughout the stay. She was incredibly professional, and it was clear that Percy was in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”

“Bony was amazing!! I typically take my own dog for a walk every single day, she craves it! It’s honestly been too cold so we skipped a couple of days and I found myself in a pickle. So at the VERY last minute I messaged Bony and she saved us both!!! She was amazing, accommodating and I would’ve never guessed I was her first client as I found out right before she left. She showed up on time which was a blessing as my schedule was already super tight. I’m definitely getting ahold of Bony again very soon!!!”

Lynn O.

“Excellent and reliable! Will continue to have her back when she’s available.”

Meg K.

“Lisa was dependable and good with walking our Sammy. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have cared for animals ever since I was 10 years old. I’ve had small pets of my own, two dogs (a pit bull and a corgi) and my roommate owns two cats, as well. I have no allergies and have a smoke free home! I’m a teacher during the school year, so I’m just looking to keep some animals company this summer while on break! I’m currently part time in the summer, so I have a lot of time to stop in and care for animals or go for walks. I can do weekdays and weekends pretty much all times of the day. I live in an apartment, so when I walk my dog it has to be on a leash. I am happy to crate animals. I have a small cage for about a 30-35 lbs dog.

“Excellent dog walker! Patient and reliable. Goes above and beyond!”

About: I love all animals! If they could talk I’d be in heaven. All pets are family. I’ve always been very protective of animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, chicks any animal I can care for. When I was 15 I started a small “business” taking in stray cats and dogs cleaning them up, getting them shots, ridding fleas and finding them forever homes. I recently moved from Michigan so I’d buy supplies for heated cat/dog homes outside for the ones I couldn’t take yet when it was cold out and my house was full. Knowing that I can give an animal some comfort and let them know they are loved means the world to me which is why I alway wanted to become a Vet. I currently am able to watch pets from 3pm to 7pm mon,Tues,wed,sat,Sun. I can watch your pet any time on Thursday and Friday. I am flexible I have a cage if needed but I wouldn’t typically cage any pets unless requested. I also have two cats of my own who vibe in their own room with the doors closed. I have feliway plug ins so your bestie will be calm and ready for the day.

About: I have had experience with multiple kinds of animals. I have a Flemish Giant (Rabbit), a dog (Chihuahua), and have had 2 (Parakeets). I also have some Vet Tech training as well but not limited to clipping nails, giving injections, bandaging, bathing, feeding, training, walking, and bottle feeding. I am available during the weekdays from 8:30am-3pm. I can also do some weekends if given advance notice ahead of time. Look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am always making sure to check for behavior cues of other animals if applicable when your fur baby is in my care. Securing leashes to make sure that your animal(s) are safe at all times, and making the environment animal friendly as well as comfortable for your animal.

About: Although I've never owned a dog, I have watched plenty for my friends and family. I love caring for dogs because there is never a dull moment. I'm a big walker, and I love when I dog sit and get some company on my walks. I am currently a full time student, with most of my classes being in the late afternoon/ early evening. With that being said, most mornings I am available. Cats don't require quite the same amount of attention as dogs, so I can always stop in to check on them before and after my class during the evening if needed. I treat every home I care for — including my own — like a safe, calm space for pets. At my place, my four cats have a predictable routine with plenty of food, water, litter boxes, and quiet spaces to retreat to. I pay close attention to their behavior, making sure everyone is comfortable, calm, and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and respect the environment they’re used to. I keep their space tidy, maintain their usual routines, and ensure they have everything they need to feel safe — whether that’s food, water, clean litter boxes, or quiet corners to relax. I also observe interactions and personalities, adjusting my approach to match each pet’s comfort level. Updates and photos are part of my care so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and secure.

About: I currently have two yellow labs, I've never met a dog I didnt love and who didnt love me! My take is simple, your dogs will be my grand children. They will be loved and spoiled and taught manners with patience and care. We will play fetch, chase butterflies, and cuddle. Kisses are accepted and encouraged. I have never NOT had a dog as an adult and have always trained myself. My dogs are well mannered, do not jump up on people ( that's important for large dogs) and find myself with time on my hands. I make my own dog cookies and use only fresh ingredients like apples and carrots. My home is large and dog proofed, because a little hair never killed anyone. I no longer work outside my home. This is my full time job that I absolutly love. Your pet will get a ton of love and attention. I have tie out runs and a two door safe net. Your pet will never be outside alone. We get lots of excercise with family walks daily.

About: I've taken care of pets since early high school. No dog is too big or small! From Schnauzers to Australian Shepherds, I love taking care of them all! I love meeting new dogs and seeing their unique personalities!🐾 I'm currently working part-time and in graduate school, so I have flexibility to play and hangout with your pups! I'm typically available in the mornings and early afternoons! When caring for your pups, I'll ensure the routine is tailored to your pup's routine! I like work with your schedule, whether it includes maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise, administering medication, cleaning litter boxes, and most importantly, offering companionship. Safety is another very important piece that I uphold as a sitter!

“Alicia is always great with our Lucy! I appreciate that she is always willing to come to our home even with such short notice! :) She sends pictures and updates of Lucy which is much appreciated as well.”

About: I treat any dog like it is my own, I love to go on walks with them to get me out of the house and get some extra exercise. I love playing fetch with them and I have been told by a lot of people that every dog loves me. I have had dogs all my life and I plan to have more and more as time goes on. I know how time it is to take care of them and whatever they need I can do that for them. I have worked with all kinds of dogs. Also, I am planning to go into animal therapy working once I figure out grad school and it is always good to get more experience with the animals.
