Dog Walking Indian Beach-Sapphire Shores

About: I volunteered at the Humane Society and have experience caring for animals in my own home. I have also helped lost and stray animals by reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving new homes. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Its a blessing to have a soft heart for animals since a little girl My availability is very open & flexible as i am currently doing online school studying Int Arch with a passion to love and provide a safe space for all pets. I am part of the worship team therefore unavailable on, Sunday 9AM-3PM, Tuesday & Thursdays 7-11PM. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs and routine. My priority is making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will keep your pet fed, provide fresh water, offer plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any special instructions you provide. I have two dogs with opposite personalities, so chances are your pup will find a friend they feel comfortable around! Introductions would always be done carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe- i also have an extra room available if any pet needs their own quiet space or a slow introduction. My cats are independent and enjoy sunbathing outside. Throughout the day, they come inside to eat, sleep, and play. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, your pet's comfort and safety will always come first.

About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

“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: 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 grown up with many animals for years, but it all started with my first dog Luna when I was 6! She’s now very old and my mom and I do our best to treat her with care and patience. We’ve had times where we’ve had to take her to the vet, give her medicines, and adjust her diet to benefit her health. She’s been on my side all my life, and so have I! Whenever I could, I would hug and kiss all of my animals to show them that neglect is not a part of this household. I often walk her afterschool and I always let her sleep with me when she wants (she has the attitude of a queen)! I sometimes would pull out her old toy and play with her, but gently enough not to strain her! Regardless of the circumstances, I’ve given every animal all the care I could. Not only does it help them, but it makes me happy! To see an animal enjoying my company has to be one of the greatest feelings in the world, and that connection is better than anything! Due to college, I am only available for the last half of Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday! But, I will be updating my availability if anything pops up and I’ll openly talk about scheduling with clients ☀️☀️ How I care for pets all depends on the environment and their needs! Living in a small home with limited grass space, I often times take all of my animals outside and chill with them! I’ll walk my dog on the sidewalks of my neighborhood’s, let my birds feel the breeze in their cage, and let my cats explore the space freely!

“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.”

“Rebeca is amazing. Very prompt very professional and excellent with communication. My aussie is very lucky to have her around.”

About: Thoughtful, personalized pet care for owners who want more than just a sitter. I provide a calm, attentive experience—with the added benefit of gentle, structured socialization for pets who enjoy canine companionship. Please note: Because I travel with my own two well-trained dogs, I only accept house sits where they are welcome. For social dogs, this is an added bonus, providing companionship, play, and a calm pack-like presence while you're away. If you're looking for more than just a sitter—someone who will truly engage, enrich, and nurture your pet while you're away—I'm here for you and your furry friend! I offer a unique pet sitting experience that goes beyond basic care. My friendly, well-mannered dogs often join me during house sits, providing safe, structured socialization and companionship for pets who thrive with other dogs. This can be especially beneficial for dogs who enjoy play, gain confidence from canine companionship, or simply feel more at ease with a calm social environment. I'm very intentional about energy, boundaries, and compatibility. My dogs are mature, well-socialized, and gentle, and I carefully assess each situation to ensure it's a positive, stress-free experience for everyone. Because of this, I only accept bookings where homeowners are comfortable welcoming my dogs into their home as well. What you can expect: • Thoughtful, attentive care tailored to your pet's personality • Enrichment through play, presence, and connection • Safe, structured canine companionship for social pups • A calm, grounded environment (never chaotic or overstimulating) • Regular picture and video updates so you feel at ease while you're away • And a CLEAN HOUSE when you come home! Because who wants chores after a vacation? 😊 My approach is rooted in respect—for your pet's unique temperament, your home, and your peace of mind. I keep my schedule intentionally limited during house sits so I can be fully present and provide a higher level of care, consistency, and connection. My background in animal care spans more than two decades, including hands-on experience working at a zoo and a children's museum, where I cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments. Over the years, I've developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely at ease. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit. 🤍 I work from home on the weekdays, so I spend most of my time with the pets I stay with. Usually I'm up early, I enjoy a morning and afternoon walk, and a chill evening at home. I'm available for drop ins and dog walks any day of the week. Ask me about discounted visits when you refer a neighbor! I like taking the time for pets to know and feel completely comfortable around me. I use their treats, toys, and praise to build trust, and calm presence to meet shy pets. My approach with positive reinforcement training is to let animals know that I am listening to them, and give them opportunities to let me know what they are needing.

About: Just moved to the Sarasota, FL area. I have cared for pets many times and adopted two pets (Yorkie dog and a British Shorthair cat). I enjoy taking care of your pets so you can focus on what you’re doing away from the home. Currently, working part-time. So, I have plenty of time to fit into your routine. I am able to work between mornings and evenings each day of the week. Mid-day depends on the weekday schedule. I would like to drop-in daily vs. stay over or have your pet at my home. Living in an open concept home that is not big enough for many pets. Currently, the cat tolerates the Yorkie dog, so I like to keep the peace at home.

“Joshua stepped right in and did a wonderful job with Gus. He walked him everyday at the park and all the neighbors mentioned what a great guy he is and seemed to really enjoy Gus. Will definitely rebook.”

“Molly was extremely nice and did a great job walking my dog! She was flexible, communicated well, and always sent pictures of him on his walk. I would definitely recommend her to a friend and would rebook her in the future. 5 stars!”

“Review in one word: PERFECT Review in paragraph: When I first reached out to Caroline she set up a visit to meet our girl and get an idea of our expectations as well as our home (impressed - no one else did this). She is available at a moments notice, spends more time than expected, walks, plays fetch, sends numerous pictures (loveee) and last but not least writes the most AMAZING stories about their time together. Currently trying to convince her to write a book....long story short - she's the best dog sitter I've ever had and I won't use anyone else. She goes above and beyond and always makes us more than thrilled that our pup spends time with her.”

“Jose and Alexis are AMAZING. If I could give 10 stars I would. This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit, I was very hesitant to let strangers into my house and more importantly let them be alone with my dog who is a very shy and timid rescue. I expected the worst. Boy oh boy was I wrong. Jose and Alexis were BEYOND accommodating. The first day they came over to start a walk, my dog was terrified and wouldn't approach or leave with them. Jose and Alexis were so communicative about the situation and sat at home for 90+ minutes doing everything they could to get Layla comfortable with them. It worked, above and beyond. The next 2 days, they came by and everything went very smoothly. Lots of pics, videos and communication, before, during and after their walks/runs. It's hard to articulate how great this experience was and we will be enlisting Jose and Alexis' services moving forward for any and all things pet care related. I trust them completely and give them my highest recommendation.”
