Dog Walkers in Destin, FL

About: I have grown up taking care of pets. Mostly dogs and cats, and one rabbit. I currently have several daily care clients in Destin that are very satisfied with my TLC of their fur babies. I treat all fur babies as my own. I'm currently attending online school to become a certified dog trainer and will be extending my services to dog training soon. I am currently taking courses in dog CPR and first aid for pet sitters. I make sure I know any behaviors/ other needs I need to be aware of at the meet and greet so I can keep all pets safe and happy. I do request that all dogs be up to date on their rabies vaccination for the safety of all pets. I am a CNA with the state of FL and they require a level 2 background check to be performed every 2 years in addition to that of Rover performs. I'm happy to share references to you upon request. Taking care of pets is my full time job. I attended an online training for dog trainer certification for which I graduated in 2024 from Animal Behavior College in CA. I can work on any basic obedience training your pup might need while I'm caring for your fur babies. I can care for your pets in your home or mine. Whichever fits your schedule and gives you and your pets the best environment to be happy, safe and secure. I also offer doggy day care. My two cavaliers are very easy going and enjoy meeting new friends to play with. I have a fenced in yard with a side and back yard to explore and play.

About: It's great to have a dog around!! From my first dog Cookie to boarding my Uncle's dog Fearless..well you just fall in love. Dogs force me to be the outdoor person I was meant to be..how can I say no to a walk?? I am super disciplined about feeding, watering, and any special needs. Can't wait to meet your furry friend... I am around most days and can be flexible depending on owners needs. I don''t require a lot of notice for walks, sitting, and or boarding. My home is dog ready..I have a fenced yard and a dog park close to me. Flexible accomodations..can have dogs run free in home..can crate if necessary. Fenced yard complete with turf grass. I live on a dead end street in a semi private neighborhood.

About: I think a meet and greet is an important way to let me know if your pet needs anything special for their visit. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours to take care of your pet. If you have a senior dogs that needs to be walked by his/herself, that's no problem. They usually need to go at a slower pace so they can enjoy their walk. I can do walks or just drop in visits to be with them. I can also drop in visits for your cat, so they are not lonely. I think cats need attention & exercise while pet parents are away. I can give them playtime and keep you updated on their response. I want pets to be my job. I have flexible hours and the time to take care and play with your pups. I can also provide boarding on weekdays and/or weekends. I have no problem walking larger dogs, but I can only board dogs 20 lbs or under. (my dogs are 11 lbs and under.) I have had pets for over 30 and taking care of family, friends and neighbors pets for over 25 years. I treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a small fenced in yard and also have small dogs to keep your pup company. I am also able to crate your pup if needed. I have a dog door, but if I have to run errands the pups are safely keep inside until I return. My fur babies like to lay in the sun.

“Thank you for looking after my dogs, especially on such short notice!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my attention to their unique needs, and my commitment to providing personalized care. I focus on creating a bond with each pet, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised, while keeping you updated every step of the way. I work a flexible part time job that allows me to take multiple days off when needed. I prioritize flexibility and the ability to be available most days.

Your dogs comfort and security is my number one priority

About: I have been caring for pets and wild life of all kinds (hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, turtles) for as long as I can remember, dating back to my early childhood days. I had a dog and cats growing up. Buster Brown was my childhood dog, he lived to be 18 years old. He was a good boy. Once he passed, of old age, I rescued Shatei. Shatei was my first baby as an adult. She was a Chow/Shephard mix, beautiful girl, looked like a lion. She was my sidekick for 15 years, before she passed of Cancer 😢 I then rescued two labs, Henry and Gracie. Oh my goodness, talk about personalities. Both of them were such sweethearts. Sadly, they both passed from Cancer at the age of 10. Which leads us to current day… I have a senior fur baby, she is 15 years old, pretty much blind and fairly deaf. She is a pee pad baby and the Queen of the house, so I am used to regular clean ups and special care for our older babies. I treat all babies as my own. My home is known as “the dog house”. When friends need a safe place for their babies, they bring them to me. My “Wolfpack” is used to their mom bringing home strays 🤣 after all, that’s how they all got here! My girls are 11, 12 and 15. Macy is the 11 year old and the dominant (mouthy) leader personality. She likes to spend her time barking at the UPS driver, Me, Postal Workers, humans walking their dogs, Me, birds, boats, Me, wind, hopefully You…she’s not picky, equal opportunity with that girl! Sydney is my 12 year old gentle sunbathing beauty, she likes to spend all of her time sunbathing on the front or back balcony, it depends on where the prime sunning spots are. She typically checks in with me on her commute from one balcony to the other, make sure I’m still doing my motherly duties, petting her belly, maybe slide a quick treat or two in. She’s easy going…🌞 🐾 Callie is my 15 year old senior, she enjoys no walks, eating as often as I will allow, barking at me to feed her, eating some more, sleeping and pooping wherever she pleases, because she knows mom will come right along and clean it up. And finally, saved the best or last, I lost my lil man Winston, at the age of 20 years old, 2 years ago. He was a champ, lil 10 lb Chiweenie, that lived his best Beach Life and now watches over us 🏖️ 😇 🐾 To sum it up, I love all animals! I am really drawn to dogs and they are typically drawn to me. I strive to keep a peaceful environment and vibe in my home and it reflects in how relaxed my dogs are 90% of the time. When I hit the couch, to relax, they flock to me. No matter if I have 3 or 6 dogs in my house, they all pile into the cuddle puddle, my favorite place to be! Who needs Heaven when you live like this!? This is MY HEAVEN! 🤗 I am ready to give your fur baby all the care, attention, and affection they deserve! I look forward to meeting you and your special fur baby! Sincerely, your dog’s future Aunt B ☀️ I am a retired stay at home dog mom! I recently retired from a career of 30 years, so I could focus on Living my best life and providing the best life for my fur babies! I am home pretty much 24/7, so plenty of time to play with your fur baby, take walks and lots of snuggles! Our day typically starts with doggy breakfast served first thing, followed by a nice long walk to make sure we take care of all of our business and smell all of the other business that was taken care of before we got there! After all, dogs can smell the mood someone is in, based on the scent they left behind 🤯 so I fully support letting them explore and use all of their amazing senses! Then it’s back home for a Good Girl or Good Boy treat, which I also carry on walks to encourage good behavior, then nap time! Napping options, based on weather, are the front balcony, back balcony, couch, or any dog or human bed in the house. The front balcony allows for monitoring delivery services, such as UPS, FedEx, USPS, Uber Eats, you name it, we monitor for it, in addition to monitoring the walking path to ensure all dogs know who’s territory this is and let’s not forget the prime sunbathing! The back balcony allows additional prime sunbathing options, as well as monitoring for delivery services ACROSS the canal, yes, all services covered on that side too, in addition to boats, pelicans, herons, seagulls, loons (we really love the loons when they swim, it’s a special kind of freak out for Macy, oh and Dolphins 🐬 Macy REALLY loves the Dolphins and will let the ENTIRE Harbor know when one visits). 😃 We gets lots of attention from the boaters passing by too. Then it’s time for doggy dinner to be served, followed by another trip outside to take care of business and make sure the hood is secure! Then we typically hit the couch for some R&R and our famous Cuddle Puddle, with lots of pillows and blankets, because we like things cozy around here! Finally, a final potty break before bedtime. I have a gated balcony for your dog to enjoy and 3 older dogs to keep them company. I can crate dogs when desired and leash walk them for potty breaks. I have an unfenced side yard and close access to a walking path. Pets are allowed on all furniture, indoor and outdoor.

About: I am new to tending to pets officially, but as a lovable dog dad of 7 years and counting I have always watched friends dogs, taken them on walks, popped in for things as little and quick as letting them potty and just get some good stretches in! I work mornings as a barista, so, I get to have my afternoons and evenings devoting to being with other fur babies. I’d initially like my girl Delilah to have friends to play with and vice-versa!! One on one time with pets is vital in more ways than one. Making sure they are getting attention keeps them happy. I’ve recommended to friends in the past to invest in a tracking collar. This allows tracking 24/7 and certain collars have GPS so you can see the route your fur baby and I would be taking every time we go for strolls!
