Dog Walking in Laurel Park, Sarasota, FL

“Victoria was prompt and understanding. She quickly identified and accommodated my nervous pup and began gaining her trust. Would recommend her to care for anyone’s animals!”

“Evelyn got back to me quickly and came for a meet and greet right away. My baby Cooper had a rough puppyhood and is afraid and reactive.He’s very strong and can pull me down. I am always worried that a new walker might not be able to handle him. Evelyn was confident putting my mind at ease. She is wonderful and sweet to Coop , who loved her immediately. I am so lucky to have found her. Evelyn is kind and calm and I believe she could handle any situation. Cooper and I are so happy.”

“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: I am an Animal Studies and Environmental Studies double major entering my senior year in the fall. I have had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats, and have experience caring for both. I have more than two years of experience working in doggy daycare and more than one year of experience working in doggy boarding. I am comfortable with all breeds and all sizes and am also comfortable administering medication as long as instructions are provided. I am currently out of school for the summer. While at school I was employed to a doggy daycare, but while home for the summer I am unemployed. I have a grant to do research on beach nesting birds for the summer and will receive more details on the schedule for that in coming weeks, but was told the hours are flexible, so they can work around your needs! I will play with, cuddle with and love on your pet as much as you would like and don’t mind taking them on adventures to the park or the store! The only thing I lack experience in is bathing, otherwise I am open to help your pet have as much fun as possible while you’re away. I am also comfortable with helping you with anything you need done while you’re away, such as watering plants or checking the mail. Please let me know how I can help you :)

“Kailea was the sweetest! Smoky loved her back. She was very helpful in dealing with Rover, I must say.”

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.

“she was last-minute booking because of an illness with my other Dogwalker and she was my hero yesterday!! Responsible on time wonderful with my dog I can’t say enough great things about her. I feel like I just got so lucky. I look forward to being able to work with her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and know that every pet is different! Whether it’s lots of exercise or lazy days, I’ve always been around animals and care deeply for their health and happiness! I have a dog that needs a lot of attention and care at this point in her life, I have had her since I was in about 3rd grade and I always make sure she is the happiest pup. I also take care of my friends dogs on occasion to let them run in the yard and eat their breakfast/ dinner! Make sure they get lots of exercise or whatever their specific needs are like giving them medications / pills or even stopping by to make sure they get their stretches and companion time in!

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

“Thanks you Sophia , Enzo looked happy this week.”

“Nicole is the best! So sweet and patient but also knows how to handle difficult cases :) She was accommodating, prompt and efficient. The doggies loved her and you will too!”

“Her kind, caring way with our shy dog Beau was wonderful. As soon as they left the house, he warmed right up to her. She’s very communicative and tries to make the time you need for a walk work. I am sure we will be booking her again.”

Barbara R.

“Emma was great, cheerful and my dog took to her right away. She also took care of my very last minute walk lightening fast and with great communication!”

“Amanda was absolutely awesome!! We came to Sarasota for our wedding and brought our fur baby Remy. We couldn't take him in the reception hall of our hotel and we were a bit worried about what we were going today until we found Amanda! She was great to work with and met my dad to get Remy and took him to our hotel room and gave him love while we were gone! She left the cutest little polaroid pictures of my dad and our boy and even though I didm't get to meet her my parents said she was an absolute delight and I couldn't agree more! Recommend her to anyone in the area! :)”

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.

About: I have a lifetime of experience owning and caring for cats and dogs, including my own senior cat, Cleo, who had complex medical needs and needed daily medication. I know how important it is to have someone who is responsible, reliable, and attentive to care for your pets when you’re not home. I have basic medical care experience i.e. administering oral/topical medication, CBD, monitoring and wound care. I am also familiar with preparing custom meals based off of nutritional needs. I am currently working part time and have a flexible schedule. Please let me know what you need and I will try to accomodate you. It's my priority to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for according to your directions. If boarding; I don't have other pets or children and I have a large, screened lanai so they can have plenty of out door time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last nine years, I have walked them, babysat them, and stayed overnight with them. I’ve even worked with training them. I am responsible and very energetic, I’m currently in college and would love to walk your dog! I’m home from college for the summer and I have a lot of time on my hands! I’m filling my summer with dog walking and babysitting. I have two large dogs at home. I walked them multiple times a day, feed them and bathe them. I’ve even learned how train them. I’m extremely prompt and can handle multiple dogs at a time.
