Dog Walkers in Long Key, FL

About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I work a hybrid remote schedule, which gives me a flexible routine and allows me to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. That means more walks, more playtime, more potty breaks, more attention, and of course… plenty of belly rubs and treats (if allowed 😄). I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was eight years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. Whether it’s providing plenty of love, ensuring they get the exercise they need, or reinforcing good behavior, I take pride in being both attentive and a strong leader. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for on every walk. With me, your pup will get the perfect balance of fun, structure, and care! 🐾🐶 Your dog has my FULL attention! I am committed to this opportunity to walk your dog as it is my sole focus. I have a very flexible schedule that I can work around your pup's busy day. I am available practical all days and times of day, just send me a message and let's find a time that works best for you! I live in an RV park that has dog park facilities and walking paths. I can also board your dog in crates (owner provided). Just let me know what it is that you need and we will work on finding the accommodations that best fit your pet and your needs!

“Erin was awesome! Would highly recommend. Our flight was delayed and during the workweek our friends were unavailable. She was able to step in last minute and go above and beyond for us. She was very responsive, communicated frequently, on-time, and even went above and beyond when our pup had tummy issues. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Erin.”

“A+! Diane was awesome! Doug loved her. She kept us informed of her arrival, walks, and when she left. Sent pictures too. We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter. Thanks Diane!”

About: Hello, I’m Elena and I am Retired. I’m known as a tree hugger and protector of all animals. I have a great yard and home for all kinds of pets. I’ve raised many pets, from ducks and lizards to dogs and birds. I’ve had them all, almost. I’ve trained many dogs from birth to adults. I have experience with puppy’s as well as our aging dogs that need extra love and assistance. I once had a warehouse and after a hurricane so many dogs were dumped or lost.

Im almost always available. I would be happy to take care of your pets, even animals with special needs. My home is open to all types of animals. I do have a labradoodle that is super friendly and loves all dogs and people. She is submissive and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. Playing is a top priority in my home.

“thank you!”

About: Friends and family have relied on me to be their pet sitter for the past ten years. I work a full time job as well as a student. Extremely flexible work schedule and I live a quiet laidback lifestyle. My weekends and Friday nights are always free. I love filling my free time with physical activities so walks are great to me! Safety is my top priority, which is why I never leave pets unsupervised while outdoors, even in a fenced in yard. On walks, I am hyper vigilant about my surroundings

“We had Sonja take our dog out for a walk twice while on vacation. Our dog was in great hands. She has great communication and takes such good photos of our pup! When we returned we had a happy, tired pup 😊 would definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.

I’m attentive to routines, basic training, and individualized care so every pet feels safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine as a part-time commitment, allowing me to be flexible and fully present for each pet. I schedule walks, visits, and check-ins around my other responsibilities so every pet receives consistent, attentive care.

“Thanks so much! Kathleen did a great job and got us in on short notice.”

About: I haven’t killed my dog in 13years yet, won’t let your dog die on my watch. Call me the dog watcher😎 But on a serious note, I have been a dog-sitter for over 13 years. Always taking care of my friends & family furry friends. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have time take care of your “fur-baby.” 😊 Communication between me & the pets owner is priority for me. I truly try to cherish every moment I get with a pet. Even small things like walking for an extra 5 minutes or even reminding them how good of a boy or girl they are is important for me.
