About: I have various experience with all sorts of animals, including large farm animals. As a current owner of two dogs and one cat, I’m comfortable with them all and want to help your animal feel loved and cared for when you are not able to be there with them. I love getting down on the floor to rub puppy bellies and getting cats to play. I will do my absolute best to make sure your pet(s) are having a great time while you are away and provide them any comfort they may need. From cuddle bugs to loners, I’ve dealt with them all and know how to alter my approach to best suit your fur babies. I guarantee they’ll love me in no time and be beyond excited to see me on my next trip! I’m a server so I have plenty of time during the day to stop in and play with your pets to ensure they are feeling loved while you’re away! By staying in your home, I can make sure that your pets feel safe and at ease, rather than making them come into a new unknown environment.

About: I was born with pets in my family and love all kinds of dogs. I currently work at a pet hospital and have previous experience with several species . I recently graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors in animal science. I love giving your furry pets the attention and love they deserve. My main focus right now is school and work which thankfully gives me early mornings and most afternoons off. This allows me to set up a play date or a good sunset run with your furry one. I treat everyone pets if they were my own. I try to provide them with slow and safe care until they feel comfortable enough in the space that they are in. If they have more of an outgoing personality then I will be more than happy to run around with them. I’ll set up plenty of time to play, run, and have fun with your pet. My schedule is always open to new cute furry Friends. I have a fenced yard that will allow your pet to run freely and receive some well deserved vitamin D to enjoy the outdoor fun.

Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.

About: I’ve spent the last 15+ years caring for dogs — from my own family pets to friends’ and neighbors’ pups. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. When my family got a puppy five years ago, I helped with basic training and routines, so I understand the patience and consistency that takes. I’ve also cared for older dogs who needed a little extra attention, including giving medications and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and treat every one like my own. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or just some extra love and playtime, I make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and loved. I work from home as a graphic designer, which gives me a really flexible schedule. I love taking breaks throughout the day to get outside, enjoy some sunshine, and go for walks — and having a dog along makes it even better! It’s the perfect balance of work and fresh air, and I always make sure each walk or visit fits smoothly into my routine so your pup gets my full attention. When I’m visiting a client’s home, I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own familiar space. I take time to follow each pet’s usual routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. At home, I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet-friendly environment, which means visiting pups can enjoy fresh air and playtime when needed. My priority is always safety, consistency, and making sure every dog feels happy and relaxed.

Emma is wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She’s punctual and responsive! While we were gone our dog had a little accident and she cleaned it up for us and made sure there was not a stain left on our new rug! We would definitely recommend Emma and plan to use her services again!

About: Hi! I’m Georgia and I been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a deep passion for helping both dogs and kids. While my professional path led me to work with children, as a school psychologist with Sarasota County Schools, I make it a priority to spend as much time with dogs as possible outside of work. I’ve volunteered with several animal shelters, walking dogs of all sizes (from 6-pound pups to 100-pound gentle giants) and across all life stages, from brand-new puppies to senior dogs. I also have my own mini Goldendoodle named Peach, who I have independently taken care of since I was 18 years old. As mentioned, I am a school psychologist within public schools so I have June and July off! Therefore, my schedule is wide open to care for your pups! I am flexible driving around the Sarasota area to drop-in/walk your animals at any time of day. I am also available on weekends regularly. I am committed to caring for your pup in the place they’re most comfortable- their own home and neighborhood. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including leash preferences, walking routes, routines, feeding or medication needs, and any training cues you use. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am also very attentive to dog body language and behavior, and I tailor each walk or visit to your dog’s individual personality, energy level, and needs. Having a dog of my own, Peach, who is shy around other dogs, has made me especially mindful of reading signs of stress or discomfort, creating positive experiences even if that means going out of the way to avoid others, and advocating for a dog’s space when needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos after each walk or drop-in so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long, active walks or prefers a slower pace with plenty of sniff time, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for them.

Emily was wonderful‼️ She received the Murphy seal of approval and accordingly to my in laws, our pup was thrilled to see her every time she came. Emily is very professional and warm, on time and dependable. I recommend her to anyone looking for more than a dog walker, she is a true dog lover and we appreciate all of the care she gave to Murphy in our absence. We will hire her again.

About: As a lifelong pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to hand your dog over to someone else. So I take that seriously. I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and currently have a 7yo Cattle Dog mix and a quirky orange cat. I show up on time, follow routines carefully, and make sure every walk feels safe, positive, and fun for your pup. Pet care fits naturally into my week because I’m self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I’m also a mom to an almost 4yo, so I prefer to do most walks while she’s at school, but I can usually adjust my schedule when needed. I love staying active, and adding dog walks into my day is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ll care for your pets in your home by following your established routine and any specific instructions you leave. On walks, I keep your dog safely leashed, give them a good mix of structure and sniffing time, and make sure they come home happy and settled.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.

Alexi watched my dog over a long weekend. One visit Friday, 3 visits Saturday and, 2 visits Sunday. My dog loved her. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. On Sunday, there was a rain storm, and my dog was too scared to go outside. She stayed extra time trying to comfort him and coax him to go outside for a bathroom break. She was competent and went above beyond. I definitely recommend her!
