Dog Walking John Ringling

About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince. He gets unlimited hay, greens, and a couple treats daily. He runs around inside the house from time to time, but likes to relax under my bed. - I have friends and family whom have dogs and cats that I have taken care of over the years. - Personality-wise: my friends and family would say I am very loving, caring, and bubbly so I will show that same love to every pet I meet and care for. Currently, I am a part time WFH accountant. I work 20 hours a week, that includes working one day in person on Thursdays 1-5pm. When I am home, I have the ability the take your pet for a walk or monitor them outside in the fenced backyard. I can bring my laptop/phone around to do work on the go too. We have a fenced-in backyard where your pet can roam around. I will have my bunny around in the house, but I can keep him in a separate room to roam around, if need be. I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

“Kathrine is literally an angel right here on earth! She went so far above and beyond for our dogs. The care and attention to detail she set forth for our dogs was incredible. She is absolutely trustworthy and kind. She clearly loves animals and is overall just a very caring person. We will most definitely be using her services again!!”

“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!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets! From feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime to making sure they feel loved and comfortable, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to my Golden Retriever, Gus, who keeps me on my toes and has given me plenty of experience with active, energetic pups! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always make it a priority to give them the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn off some energy, a quick check-in during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind! I work in real estate and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I always respect your home, follow your pet’s routine, and provide plenty of updates while you’re away!

“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.”

I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care your pet may need. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.

“Kathy took great care of our pup and was prompt with her walking times. She was quick to respond to messages. She sent updates and pictures and we will definitely use her again in the future !”

About: I am so excited to.meet your fur baby already, I miss having a pet terribly! Rover seems like the perfect fit. I've been a pet owner since I was 4 and had many animals at one point or abother: cats, rats, mice, horse, lizards, snake, guinea pig, fish from scales to fluff I love them all. I teach English online so I work from home, I would be available to your pet much if the time. Feeding schedule can easily be followed and walking/ playtime will be regular occurances. Your fur baby is my priority, I'm there for them. I have a high respect for other peoples homes, it will be as clean or cleaner when you arrive back home. I don't smoke and live a quiet life.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been caring for them since I was a kid. I’ve lived with and worked with all kinds of breeds, from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Toy Poodles and Chihuahuas. I’ve also worked with dogs that were fearful or difficult to manage and, with patience, consistency, and training, helped them become more comfortable and confident. I have plenty of experience with puppies, including helping with potty training, and I’m comfortable with cats as well. I’m used to handling everyday grooming and basic care and know when something is best left to the vet. I’m pretty calm in stressful situations and don’t get easily overwhelmed. Most importantly, I believe animals respond best to patience, consistency, love, and respect. I’m comfortable setting boundaries and maintaining house rules, but I don’t believe in harsh physical correction. My goal is always to build trust and create a good relationship with every animal in my care. To me, there’s no such thing as a bad dog just an animal that may need more patience, understanding, and the right guidance. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding as my schedule is flexible and rotating. I’m available Mon-Sunday 6am-2pm and select evenings. Feel free to reach out about evening care my availability changes week to week. I currently live in an apartment located close to downtown. Even though I lack large space and a fenced in yard I am a stones throw away from a large park and put it to good use. I have one very friendly dog who is full of love and a very curious cat. I am able to crate your animal if the need arises. With my dog we are very active and go on 3-5 walks a day. She loves adventures and car rides so we go out and about a lot! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind driving to fit your needs. Currently I have so many dog / cat toys we could fund a small shelter. We have plenty of supplies to keep your fur babies happy and entertained. I have done work in many industries which required me to be adept at problem solving, reliable and trustworthy. High stress environments don’t bother me. We love the little ones and have fostered in the past, we just hate having to give them back!

About: With over three decades of pet‑care experience while working in corporate positions, I bring a calm, steady presence to your home. I’ve raised and cared for both dogs and cats — including my Yorkie and British Shorthair — and I understand the unique needs of different ages, personalities, and routines. I’m very observant and proactive, especially with senior pets or those who need a little extra attention. I communicate clearly throughout the day, sharing updates so you always feel informed and reassured. Your pets will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Some housekeeping…I hold dates for 4 hours. Please complete the booking and payment through Rover within that time so I can confirm your reservation. If you need more time, just let me know — otherwise the request will expire and the dates will be released. 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.

“Stephanie takes the best care of my pup, attentive, sweet and very trustworthy!! Highly recommend!”

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe, love on them and will be their fill in mommy/daddy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility. I am off during the summers, holidays, weekends, spring breaks, etc. I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I have flexibility with the job as I’m able to leave for a lunch break/check on your pup. Also, my school counselor hours are 8:15-3:30. I am in early and off early to be able to check on your animals. *** I will be in town for ALL holidays, weekends, and last minute availability:) I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them if it helps them feel more comfortable. That is not a requirement though. I prefer going to your home only because the animals tend to do better in their own house.

“Torrie is so sweet! My little dog loves her and we're so happy to have found her!”

About: It’s stressful when we have to go away, for our pets and ourselves. It’s important that your pets are loved, walked, and entertained while you’re away from home. My 13y/o Springer Spaniel loves whenever we take her out of the house for a ride in the car or to a relative’s house for a sleepover. That’s the way I want your furbabies to feel: like they are going to have fun and go on a vacation too! As a dog owner we know when our babies are stressed. We also know when they feel happy and comfortable. That’s when they sleep with us in our rooms, hang out with us in the living room, go for walks, or car rides to park. Our dog valentine loves all other animals, and would be happy to play with them. If you were to board with us we would treat your baby as one of our own. In addition, to that we offer Drop-in and dog walking services.

“Mackenzie has been great with my Labs. They’re a handful, but she manages them well and they look forward to seeing her. Highly recommend her.”
