Dog Walking Central Cocoanut

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

“Paula communicated well about all aspects of her morning with my pup. I will definitely use her dog walking services whenever needed in the future!”

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently a full-time student at Ringling College but with plenty of time for your pets! I am happy to look after your pets overnight, and in-between classes, providing frequent walks, playtime, and maintaining your feeding schedule :) I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets! From feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime to making sure they feel loved and comfortable, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Gus, who keeps me on my toes and has given me plenty of experience with active, energetic pups! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make it a priority to give them the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a quick check-in during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind! I work in real estate and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of updates while you’re away!

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”

About: Hi! I have been working with pets for 15 years now. I started in doggy daycare and have since worked as a vet tech and professional dog groomer. Comfortable with any medication administration. I’m happy to hang with your pet on the couch or walk/run your dog on request. My work schedule is flexible and I would be happy to work with you based on your pets’ needs! Reach out, I’d love to work with you! I will treat your home as if it is my own! No request is too silly. I understand spicy cats and behavioral dogs can be nervous with someone coming into their home. I will do my best to make everyone comfortable.

About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and have enjoyed caring for them since I can remember. I currently live with my pet bird, snake, and two lizards. My professional experience is in the wildlife field so I am passionate about animals of all shapes and sizes. I have experience in enrichment creation and enjoy finding new and exciting ways to keep your dog mentally and physically healthy. I’m currently in my off-season for wildlife work, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I will be starting a new job at the end of September but can make consistent weekly arrangements. Living with a bird, I am constantly cleaning so this is part of my routine when caring for other peoples pets as well. I am able to bring your pets in my car if needed as well.

“Gretchen was awesome with my little Willow! Super communicative and I always have felt 100% comfortable using her! Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Alexia, and I’m a lifelong animal lover currently based in Sarasota, Fl. I’ve grown up around a variety of pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own — a pitbull and a rescue — so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, neighbors, and through volunteering at animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious pets, and administering medication when needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m very energetic, patient, organized, and reliable. As an athlete, I’m an active person who genuinely loves walking, running, and spending time outdoors, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs who need exercise and attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship and care during drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I always make communication a priority. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and treat them like family! I’m working a part time job, attending classes, and playing sports. With that being said I am available on weekends and throughout the week, times will vary. I have a huge backyard with a pool and I only have one dog. She’s an American Bulldog and I have had her for almost 10 years now. I take her on walks all the time and try to do as many activities. She loves spending her days outside lounging around by the pool.

“Kathy took great care of our pup and was prompt with her walking times. She was quick to respond to messages. She sent updates and pictures and we will definitely use her again in the future !”

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍 I work from home for a local tech company. I am very flexible with my schedule and am available for walks, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. Weekends and overnights are welcome too! Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.

About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.

About: I've owned and trained large and small dogs for more than 20 years. I love meeting and caring for others pets as well as my own! My schedule is extremely flexible and can accommodate almost all requests! I only work two days of the week in the office and those can be rotated to fit most schedules. I have two pet parks in my neighborhood and a lot of places to walk and play. I do prefer a more quiet and low energy atmosphere to keep pets calm and happy.

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri with a 2 hour break 12-2pm everyday. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I've always had a dog or some kind of pet, I have 3 cats right now and had a dog from a puppy to 18 (R.I.P) I've trained and administered medication. I love spending time with animals. It's what makes me happy. I have a flexible work schedule so I can make anything work as far as when you need care for your “children”. If it were to be a house sitting and pet sitting job I would do that as well. I can board or bring them to my place for the day or for a walk if necessary, there are sidewalks and a park near by. I have 3 cats who have grown up around dogs so they wouldn't be a problem if this was the case. I do prefer to do the pet sitting at the owners home. Please read my reviews and testimonials. I look forward to meeting with you!

“Kailea did a great job.”

About: I offer pet walking and house sitting services. If you have an active dog, I will take them on adventures! I have taken care of dogs, cats, cockatiels, bearded dragons, rabbits, and fish. I have either boarded all of these animals or gone to their home to care for them. I've taken care of many breeds of dogs including 100+ breeds and pit bulls. I've taken care of both puppies and senior dogs. I also understand that you may have specific training instructions and I will make sure to adhere to these when walking and sitting. I cared for a family dog for 4 years during my mid-twenties. I put a lot of care into making sure every animal feels safe and loved while in my care. I typically take dogs on a walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Depending on the needs of the dog, I can do additional potty breaks and different walk lengths. I am open to house sitting and can bring your dog to nearby trails or nearby dog parks as needed. Depending on if you have a yard, I can spend time playing with them outside either within a fenced area or on leash. Your animal will receive loving attention and plenty of pets if they are into that. I can also do animal massage which is great for stressed pets, or simply those who exercise a lot and have tense muscles.

About: I am very attentive in my care giving. There is nothing more important than a safe, loving, and fun environment for your fur baby! I will be your dogs new best friend! My love for animals began when I was small child. Animals are amazing and bring so much joy to our lives... I want to give some of that joy back! I am looking for a fulfilling career doing what I love most, caring for animals and helping those in need. I am very active and believe in daily regular exercise for myself... so walking your dog will be a breeze - (and an additional calorie burning workout for me as well!!) You and your dog will love the attention and care I have to offer!! I work full time and live close by to my home, so potty breaks won’t be missed. I am available most weekends and holidays. I am open to special requests, should you need an extra day or two. I will ensure a safe place for your fur baby while staying at my home by providing a neat, clean space and lots of attention and love!

About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.

About: I am patient, dependable, and genuinely love working with dogs. I’ve volunteered many times at an animal shelter caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors dogs.

As a college student with a part time job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, holidays, and even early mornings or late evenings.
