Dog Walking in Bayview, Sarasota, FL

“Victoria was prompt and understanding. She quickly identified and accommodated my nervous pup and began gaining her trust. Would recommend her to care for anyone’s animals!”

“Evelyn got back to me quickly and came for a meet and greet right away. My baby Cooper had a rough puppyhood and is afraid and reactive.He’s very strong and can pull me down. I am always worried that a new walker might not be able to handle him. Evelyn was confident putting my mind at ease. She is wonderful and sweet to Coop , who loved her immediately. I am so lucky to have found her. Evelyn is kind and calm and I believe she could handle any situation. Cooper and I are so happy.”

“Kailea was the sweetest! Smoky loved her back. She was very helpful in dealing with Rover, I must say.”

About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

I believe good communication makes all the difference, so you can always count on quick replies and plenty of adorable photo updates. You’ll know exactly how your furry friend is doing and feel all the love, even while you’re away. 🐾💛 I also have experience giving medication and caring for elderly and special needs dogs!

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog- Let's schedule a meet and greet! :) I am working part time and have plenty of time to care for and play with your pup! We will have lots of fun playing together. I have a lot of love to give and enjoy my time with dogs. However, I am not currently offering in home daycare or boarding services.

“she was last-minute booking because of an illness with my other Dogwalker and she was my hero yesterday!! Responsible on time wonderful with my dog I can’t say enough great things about her. I feel like I just got so lucky. I look forward to being able to work with her again.”

“Annie is fantastic! The funny part is I have never met her, but my other half did and said she was an angel! She is super accommodating for me and my pup. She sends pictures, and keeps me updated. She keeps our home safe, and makes sure it’s all locked up when she leaves. She was even willing to take my pup to the vet when he was sick and I was working. I use her weekly and say enough good things :)”

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs over the years, including regular walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of love and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, slow stroll, or just a potty break with some affection, I’ve got them covered! I work remotely and set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care seamlessly into my day. Whether your pup needs a morning walk, midday break, or evening stroll, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, and I'm happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take precautions on every walk—securing leashes, avoiding unsafe areas, and keeping a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe and cared for, whether that means going slow with a shy pup or bringing a little extra energy for playful dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands!

About: I’ve spent time around animals for my entire life, and have always loved giving them the love and attention they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and will take the time to make your pet happy and comfy! Working with animals has always been something I have found great joy doing, and I hope I can build connections with more four legged friends! I’m a student who is currently on break until the 21st, so I am available very often. Any days of the week will work fine for me! I will make sure all fences, doors, and windows are secure at all times to ensure your pets will be safe and cozy in their homes!

“I booked Kim for a last minute walk. She contacted me right away and was on time. My dog was a little nervous at first but by the time she came back from her walk she was smiling. Kim was patient and sweet with my dog. I am extremely pleased with Kim and will use her again.”

Sheila S.

“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”

I treat every animal like part of the family! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as I work from home and have the flexibility to give your pet the attention they may need.

About: I’ve been working with animals the majority of my adult life. I started out as a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society and then spent 3 years sitting on the board at the same shelter. I’ve fostered multiple dogs since 2014 and also owned my own doggy daycare and boarding facility from 2016 to 2024. I’m currently working part time so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m available weekdays, weekends and holidays. With my current schedule it keeps me open to having lots of time to spend with the fur babies to play and snuggle. I have a large fenced yard and tile throughout my house so it is very dog friendly. Walks are available upon request as well as crating if preferred. I’m also happy to sleep with your pets as that’s my preference.

“Great walker!”

Mary R.

“Emma was great, cheerful and my dog took to her right away. She also took care of my very last minute walk lightening fast and with great communication!”

About: I take the time to bond with each dog, earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved and understood. I adapt my approach to each dog’s personality, energy level and needs, whether it’s a playful pup who needs exercise or a senior dog who just wants gentle companionship. I’m currently working part-time as a realtor so I have a flexible schedule and can work around my clients schedules and needs as directed with notice. I live in a condo with two kittens so I will most likely be sitting at the client’s home. I will care for the pets as directed by the client, providing them photos and details of my time with their pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep, lifelong bond I’ve had with animals — especially my own. I’ve had pets my whole life, and most recently cared for my 16-year-old Yorkie (almost 17!) who had kidney disease. He was truly like my child, and during his final chapter, I gave him incredibly loving, one-on-one care every single day. That experience gave me not just senior dog care skills, but a deep understanding of patience, gentleness, and being fully present. I know how much pets mean to us — they’re family — and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I truly enjoy it — and I’m very flexible and open with my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care depending on what your pet needs. Whether it’s a midday walk or a weekend stay, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for you and your furry baby. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced backyard and a pet-friendly home, so pets staying with me will have space to play and relax. I’m also happy to follow any routines or special instructions — feeding, medications, crate use, you name it. If I’m in your home, I treat it with respect and do everything I can to make your pet feel at ease while you’re away. I’m very adaptable and just want your pet to feel happy and cared for wherever they are.
