Dog Walking Araquey

About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I am fully open and available for any booking, for any period of time, for any amount of pets! The more animals I get to see in a day, the better! I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾

“Nathalia was great! She was professional & very prompt even though she was 30mins away from me. I used Nathalia for walking my dog while I recover from foot surgery. My anxious dog warmed up to her and they did great together! I would recommend Nathalia! ☺️”

About: I’m Aidan, a 20-year-old college student who has always enjoyed being around animals. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable when it comes to caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’ll treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. As a college student, my schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available around my classes and can make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I’m also available on many weekends and will communicate clearly about my availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walking, medications, routines, or house rules. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and stays in a safe, comfortable environment while in my care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands on experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra love and care. I’m patient, attentive, and trained in basic puppy obedience, crate training, and leash manners, which helps young dogs build great habits early on. For senior pets, I provide calm, compassionate care and understand the importance of routine, medication schedules, and mobility support. I treat every pet like my own, tailoring my care to their unique personality and needs whether that means active playtime or quiet companionship. I have recently graduated and am unsure of what I would like to do career wise. I figured it would be good to utilize my skills and love for animals to help out others! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that feels familiar and stress free for them. I follow each pet’s routine closely feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give plenty of one on one attention, whether it’s cuddle time, exercise, or simply being present so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away!

About: I’ve grown up with not only multiple dogs running around my house, but a variety of different pets! I am a recent college graduate following my passions and love for both exercise and pet care! I have professional training experience working as an assistant dog trainer over the last years, and love spending time outside and moving! Hi! I'm a recent Flagler College graduate working from home and have lots of flexibility to get outside and help exercise your lovely little pups! I am an experienced dog trainer and walker. I understand different types of dogs and their natural tendencies, which allows me to be patient, kind and energetic towards different breeds of dogs. I have years of experience and love meeting new animals!

“Wonderful!!!”

About: Hey there, you can call me Bee! :) I've had a mix of animals my whole life, from goats and chickens and cats and dogs in my childhood, to my own small zoo today! I have three cats and a dog at home, and as a result I have experience handling multiple animal personalities and making sure they all feel safe and comfortable during transitions, such as going to the vet, meeting a new friend, etc. I love to walk and enjoy taking my dog along so she can really soak up the sun and burn off energy. I am available for early morning drop-ins, as well as fully available after 4pm during the week! Weekends are completely open. :) No matter how long or short the visit, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure their needs are met each time. I ensure that my home is a clean environment safe for pets at ALL times. This means no human food left unsupervised, no toxic plants, and no access to chemicals/medications/other no-nos. I also enjoy catering to pets' needs, whether that is hyper playtime or serene strolls!

About: Just moved to Saint Augustine from Colorado where I had experience caring for lots of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, tortoises and turtles. I just love animals and happy to meet yours! I do this on the side and will only accept when I am fully available. I have one older shitzu and 2 ferrets but can keep separate if needed. Both. I live in apartment so I would only take one at a time so that I can provide individual care. I have two ferrets and an older Shih Tzu.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own and truly see them as family. I’m used to the everyday stuff—walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love—and I know how much the little routines matter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own, I’d love to help. I’m new to the area and have lots of free time, so pet care easily fits into my day. I love being outside and see walking dogs as a great way to explore the neighborhood while giving them the exercise and attention they need. Since my schedule is wide open, I can be flexible and available when you need me. When I do drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and some extra love and attention. For walks, I’ll match your dog’s energy, whether that’s a long stroll to burn off energy or a shorter walk for a slower pace. I always treat pets like they’re my own and follow any routines or instructions you leave for me.

About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them like family. I’m patient, gentle, and always pay attention to each pet’s unique needs.

About: I’ve been a veterinary receptionist for a little over 6 years now. I love all animals, and have had multiple different animals since I was a child. I would love to sit for your fur babies. I currently can only do weekends for house sitting because I work at a vet during the day. If you need pet sitting Fridays I can start after I get off work. I may be able to walk some pets during lunches and after work as long as you are close to home. So I guess walks will be case by case. Other wise I’m completely free on weekends. I can only do house sitting at your home because I have two cats of my own and one of them does not like other animals. Plus there are cat toys everywhere lol, but you can count on me to take special care of your loved ones and home while you are away. I am reliable and will leave your home exactly how you left it. Your pets will get showered with lots of love and play time. You can count on me to take care of their every need. Plus it doesn’t hurt that I work at a vet.
