“I cannot recommend Marrianne enough! She did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dog. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond — sending regular updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each walk. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed their time together. I came home to a relaxed, well-exercised, and very content pup. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and currently have a cat of my own. I grew up around lots of dogs through friends and family and have always been very comfortable with them and around different personalities and energy levels. I am also a very active person who loves being outside, going on walks and spending time in nature - having a pet join me is just an added bonus! I’m naturally an early riser and love starting my day outside. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I think the best care comes from paying attention to each pet’s personality and needs. Every pet is different and I want them to feel safe, happy, and enjoy our time together.

Feel free to request, even if it’s last minute or same day! I treat every pet with respect when I first meet them. I always make sure to read their body language and let them get to know me first.

About: I have been around animals ever since I was born. I have had 4 dogs and 9 cats throughout my life. I have been trusted to watch family, friends, and neighbors pets.

I can’t wait to help you take care of your pets! I have a pretty open schedule so I am available to take care of your pets throughout the day, any day of the week. I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets. When on walks I’ll make sure your dog is close to me when other dogs are present and make sure interactions with other dogs are limited to insure your dog’s safety. When it’s just your dog, I will give them time to sniff and go to the bathroom as they please. Inside of the home I’ll make sure they don’t have access to items that will harm them. If there are multiple dogs I’ll make sure they are fed separately and monitored. I’ll also monitor them while playing to make sure everyone is safe.

Amazing!!!!!!!! Valeria is the best!!!!!! I had an issue with my door and she sat there and waited until maintenance came and stayed to walk Aurora!!! I am so happy that u chose Valeria and I know Aurora is as well!!!! Will definitely be booking with you again!!!! Thank you so so much 🥰
Bianca did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! They absolutely loved her from the start, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was very attentive, made sure they were fed, and went above and beyond by leaving detailed notes after each walk so I always knew how everything went. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!
Absolutely love Jessica! I highly recommend to anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area looking for a loving family to care for their pets. Her and her daughter are fantastic with animals, and were gentle and kind towards my Macimus. I will definitely be using her again and recommend to everyone!
Sophia did a fantastic job walking my dog! She was super attentive, making sure my pup was happy and comfortable during the 30-minute walk. Her communication was excellent, with quick updates and photos that kept me in the loop. My dog came back tired and content, and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Highly recommend Sophia for a reliable and caring dog-walking experience!”
Samantha was punctual, nice and sweet. She did a good job with our big dog for the first time. Unfortunately we did not establish beforehand that she would be bringing a guest with her into our house and I was just not comfortable that it wasn’t communicated upfront and not professional. Since walkers should all be background-verified before entering someone’s private property, not knowing in advance did not work for me as it was a liability and breech of trust for us. She is nice girl though I hope she can communicate that in the future to potentially have more repeat clients.
