Dog Walking Douglas

About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and a safe environment. My responsibilities have included feeding pets according to their schedules, providing fresh water, taking dogs for walks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of exercise and companionship. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs and behavior. I am dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. After spending 33 years working in corporate America, I am excited to begin a new chapter in life—one centered around spending more time with animals and providing them with loving, dependable care. I developed a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, patience, and attention to detail. I understands the importance of being trustworthy and following through on commitments, qualities that are just as important when caring for someone’s beloved pets. Now retired, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, exercise, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel happy and relaxed. For me, pet care is more than simply a responsibility—it’s an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while giving their owners peace of mind that their pets are in caring and capable hands. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My loft provides a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. When your pet stays with me, you can feel confident knowing they’re receiving attentive, loving care in a safe home away from home. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind and for your pet to feel loved, secure, and comfortable.

“Strong communicator and sweet energy with my pets. I was nervous about hiring a dog walker and Mariam helped put me at ease by demonstrating her trustworthiness.”

“Twix loves her so much! He knows her car at this point and is jumping for us to let him go with his friend. She is so amazing withy doodle who isn’t the easiest to walk cause he is a puller and she does perfect with him. I have also used her for boarding and day care and I know when he is with her he is so happy and well taken care of ♥️”

About: Fun fact about me is I’ve never actually had a pet thanks to my parents, but ever since I was a little kid, I have always been around and taken care of the pets of different family members. This has led me to form a love for dogs and animals in general, hopefully as a profession in the future. I’m currently a student athlete at the University of Tampa meaning that working on my craft daily is a must. In my free time, I will definitely have time for pet care. I plan to not only respect the dog that I am caring for, but I will respect the owner, the owner’s property, and whatever they request.

“Jozelin took Leo on morning walks while I was out of town for a few days. She followed my instructions, was respectful of the space, & was able to handle my Leo. Will book again!! Tyyy”

About: I have had cats my whole life, and I love them so much because they teach you about respect. I’ve had the honor of caring for other people’s dogs, including elderly and ones with medical issues, and everything in between. I’m currently working part time online where I can work as little or as much as I want to, so my schedule is wide open! Even for overnight needs. I am able to do whatever is asked of me, the most important thing to me is respecting a pets boundaries, especially when getting to know them.

“Nadine is absolutely wonderful! My dog Maverick tells me about all the fun adventures and colorful sniffs they unfold together. The pictures of Maverick are definitely ones I love to see while I'm off making movie magic to fill his dog bowl and repeat this wonderful cycle. Keep the good vibes going.”

“Toby has a new best friend and it’s Ella! Highly recommended for your fur babies needs”

Anna T.

“I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Chauntrell gave my pup while I was away! From the moment we connected, he was communicative, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He sent daily updates, photos, and even little notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Chauntrell was so patient and gentle with him it didn’t take long before he was completely comfortable and excited for their walks. He treated my pup like he was their own, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Chauntrell to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and professional. I will absolutely be booking with him again in the future! Thank you again for everything my friend! 🐾❤️”

She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for animals of all different ages and personalities. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 7 years old, and I’ve cared for cats and dogs. I’ve also had experience caring for senior pets, including looking after a 22-year-old cat while their owner was away. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently taking my college classes online, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals! I am available pretty much every day of the week for whatever your pet needs. Having experience with reactive animals, I understand that comfort and familiarity are number one for a pets safety. I have no problem adapting to an animal's needs so that they can trust me and feel comfortable with my care, whether it be sitting patiently with them until they feel safe, or crating an animal if need be. My top priority is making sure your furbabies are fed, having fun, and not scared!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds before since i was a child. I was the one that was always responsible for taking care and walking the dogs for my friends and family. Im currently, in part time summer school however its online so i would have plenty of time to spoil your cute little loved ones all the time. I have a beautiful grass yard downstairs and im right by the lake shore walk so im gonna have so many activities for your puppies.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds since I was 15 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets over the years, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your pup wants lots of playtime and walks or is happiest curled up beside me getting cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m especially patient and gentle with dogs who need a little extra time to feel comfortable in a new environment. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and, of course, treats. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pup with the attention, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and daycare on weekdays and weekends. I’m not currently offering overnight boarding, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. 🐾 I provide attentive, loving care in your pet’s home, following their usual routine so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s space, and I follow all care instructions closely. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and daytime care, but I’m not able to provide overnight stays or boarding in my apartment.

“My pup is always excited to see her! She’s careful to make sure she’s well exercised and safe on their walks, and always checks in with me before taking her to new places (ie a new dog park) :) would book with her any day.”
