Dog Walking in Hudson Bayou, Sarasota, FL

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.

“Kailea did a great job.”

“Michelle was a great dog walker and helped out when we were in a real pinch to get Maggie walked. She was professional, on time and it was so nice to know Maggie and I could count on her. And Maggie loved Michelle too! Excellent dog walker!!”

About: Hi there! I’m Tatiana 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a super flexible schedule and a big heart for animals. I’ve had pets my whole life, and while living in different places around the world, I’ve had the joy of meeting so many amazing dogs — each with their own personality and quirks! Dogs have always felt like kindred spirits to me. I love being outside, going for long walks, and giving pups the attention and playtime they deserve. Whether your dog loves to run, sniff around, or just chill in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’m very responsible, organized, and quick to reply to messages, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing. I also have a reliable car and love sending photo updates — because I know how nice it is to see your fur baby having fun while you’re away! I’ll make sure they get lots of love and engaging walks. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! ❤️ Right now because I’m at stay at home mom , my schedule is totally free! Anytime during the week or weekend is available for me. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel completely safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home with you. I give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor walks suited to their energy level. I keep their feeding and potty schedules consistent and make sure they always have fresh water and a cozy spot to rest. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat their space and routine with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep everything tidy, and make sure your pet gets lots of companionship and exercise while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for them, my goal is to make every dog feel relaxed, happy, and cared for — and to give you total peace of mind while you’re apart. I also love sending regular photo and message updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing! 🐶💛

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.

“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.”

“Kim is awesome! she is dependable and flexible. My pups can't be a bit stubborn and she is still able to get them out for their 1/2 hour walk. She has been a life saver for me during my recovery from foot surgery. Thanks Kim!”

About: I have taken care of pets and been around them since I was 5. My family and friends usually rely on me to watch over their pets when they are gone. I am currently in high school and I also play sports. I am free on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I can most likely make my schedule a little more flexible if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a VERY friendly dog that will he keep your furry buddy company. I am also able to commute very easily.

I will reach out for an initial visit/consultation in your home or in a public place so that you can get to know me, ask me questions about myself and my experience, and develop a rapport that you can feel good about.

About: Animals run my world to say the least. Starting young and bringing everything home as a child. Snakes, turtles, ferrets, stay dogs. Everything became part of the family. As I got older the passion grew even further. Expanding to wolves, tigers, lions and more. Now also having a pack of 4 pups at home and a very spoiled kitty. Along with a few reptiles. Currently working part time having plenty of time to help take care of yours companions. I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work around you and your pets needs. Crating available if need for transport. Also along with chew proof leashes originally build for wolves with steal cables for even the most talented escape artist your pet is safe.

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs and cats since I was 15. I am able to walk, feed, bathe, and play with tour loved ones! I have never had any issues with my animals nor my friends animals either! Your animals will always have a fun time getting to play with me and constantly entertained. Due to being in healthcare, my schedule is different every week but I’m usually free at least 4 days a week, but you can find available days on my calender. But, I also work night shift so I am able to have some additional flexibility on shift days, especially in the morning! I live near a dog park and have a large neighborhood for long walks. I currently live in an apartment complex with a dog park and there is plenty of space around the complex to spend time and let energy out. My boyfriend is also home with me every third day due to his rotating paramedic schedule but he has cared for his two family dogs most his life and thoroughly enjoys spending time with animals.

“Delia is great with my older high-maintenance pup, showing real care and understanding. She went above and beyond to make sure he’s comfortable and cared for. Thank you, Delia!”
