Dog Walkers in Myakka City, FL

About: I have been working with pets since 2023! I have done everything from walking dogs at the Humane Society to pet sitting to working at my current job which is a Pet boarding facility! I love animals and am so excited to get to know your pets! I work part time at a dog boarding facility so I’m available most weekends and most weekdays to walk dogs and do drop ins! I have experience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I love all breeds as well as all cats! Pets are my passion and I’d love to meet your pets!

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. I love all animals but dogs are my passion. I am a professional dog groomer and I have trained many dogs. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of free time throughout the day and night to spend with your pups!! Im also free the entire weekend! I have a fenced in yard and a 1 year old doodle myself that loves to play. I let the dogs free roam throughout the house.

About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs my whole life. I’m the first person my friends and family go to when they need dog care. I’ve been a sitter for many people for many years. Animals have been my passion for many years. I work in the evenings so I have the free time to look after your precious pups. I am willing to travel as far as you need to make sure you have no worries while you’re gone. I live on 5 acres of fenced in yard to have plenty of space for your fur babies. I also have two sweet pups if your puppy wants friends. I have the ability to crate your babies if you prefer that aswell.

“Sarah was professional and communicative and responsible. She has good energy and I felt Vedic comfortable with her. I am going to hire her for my upcoming 8 day trip!! So, needless to say, I recommend her.”

About: I've always had animals in my life, and I've been pet sitting for neighbors since I was little. I also volunteered with a service dog training organization and at my local SPCA, so I'm comfortable around all kinds of pets and personalities. As a UNC–Chapel Hill student, I don't get to be around animals as much as I'd like during the school year, so I genuinely love spending time with them whenever I can. I'm responsible, reliable, and will make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. I currently work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Spending time with animals is honestly one of my favorite things to do, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to make sure they're well cared for while you're away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I'll make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also understand that every pet is different, so I'm happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, walks, or routines. I want both pets and owners to feel comfortable and confident while they're in my care.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I had a lab for 14 years and now have a Pomeranian/shih-tzu mix. I have been watching a pitbull for about two years now who needs medication two times a day, so I have no issues with giving medications. I have no problem watching big, medium, or small dogs because I have done a mix of all sizes. I had two cats growing up and have sat cats a few times. I love animals so much and I would love to be a sitter for you! I am a full time student, living at home, so my schedule is very open. I would like a weeks notice just so I can confirm that I am available. With an open schedule, I do not mind hanging out at the house all day or overnight. I do not mind crating your pet. I do not mind taking them on walks either.

About: I have had a total of four dogs my whole life, including two labs, a German Shepherd, and currently, a Belgian Malinois. I also have past work with dogs of all sizes at a dog bakery and grooming facility, and I am very comfortable around all kinds of dogs. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time for drop in visits. My availability does vary by week depending on my work schedule but I am typically available no less than four days a week. I have plenty of experience with both big and small dogs, so whether it is going into your house to feed them, taking them outside, or playing with them, I am very comfortable.

“She did great with my two high energy dogs! She also had excellent communication to put me at ease while I was working. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I was raised in a home where my mom started her pet grooming and boarding business, until it expanded to a separate building. So pets were just part of our family and daily routine! Pets bring me so much joy and love, I would love to share that with yours! I work from home, on my own time, and this is also my first year homeschooling my 2 girls! So I am very flexible and can accommodate to what ever schedule needed! I am open to what is needed! An afternoon stroll, afternoon play time, play dates, overnights, or just snuggles! Any animal time will fill my heart! My rescue cat is truly a blessing and is the kindest, most fun boy. He loves to play with balls & stuffed animals, but also loves to snuggle. I do have a screened in front porch that allows playtime in the fresh air with keeping him safe, so he loves that too (he is missing a back paw so we limit free range time outdoors to his benefit). He is part of the family and is treated like one of us!

About: I have experience in taking care of the smallest of critters to large beasts. I grew up on multiple acres and had the chance to take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, everything and anything. I am a kind soul who will do anything I can for any furry guests. I have watched dogs and cats all over the states. I watch them in my home and also don't mind being mobile if needed. I am currently working from home. I am able to take care of animals needs throughout the day or night. I am able to engage all hours of the day. I am on an .50 acre. I have a very large front yard. That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.

About: I am retired. My husband Paul and I have two mixed terriers, brother and sister, that we rescued during Covid. Sydney is our little girl and has some Dachshund and Bo is more Irish Terrier with some Wheaton. They are 4 years old. Our pictures show some of our past, beloved pets. We have had 7 dogs prior to our sibling dogs and two miniature horses. I have a fenced backyard, a secured pool with a shallow entry and live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks. I can walk here or come to you. I walk every day my dogs every day for approximately two miles. We do a mix of well paced walking and significant "sniffing" time. Sniffing is good for dog cardio. We have a fenced yard and a pool with a shallow level for smaller dogs that might like to get their feet wet. Treats are well planned and on the small side. And we have toys! In your home I will abide by your instructions.

About: I am a mother to 3 dogs and 4 cats and have taken many rescues throughout the years to care for temporarily and there's nothing more I'd rather do! I love taking care of animals and being there for them especially when they need it the most. I promise to treat and protect your fur babies just as if they were my own! I am currently working full time at a hospital which consists of 3 days a week. The rest of the week is for taking care of fur babies! I am willing to work with you on the location weather it is my house or yours I will respect all boundaries and rules that are set in place!

About: I’m a lifelong Floridian with a big heart for dogs. I’ve raised my own two pups, Shiloh and Zeus, and have also helped raise and regularly care for friends’ dogs over the years. Watching them grow up has brought me so much joy. When I’m not caring for pups, you’ll find me spending time with my family, baking in my kitchen, or traveling with my dogs. On weekends, I love making fresh homemade dog treats for my pups—and for the neighborhood dogs too. Nothing makes me happier than creating yummy goodies for the pups who have become part of our extended family, including our newest friend, Teddy, who lives right next door. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little pack🏡🐾 Our daily schedule is balanced, structured, and full of love. We start each morning with gentle wake-ups, lots of affection, and individual potty breaks. After breakfast, we head out for a morning walk followed by playtime—Shiloh loves tug-of-war and is always ready to share his toys. Midday is our calm, restful period where Zeus enjoys his cozy naps with soft music in the background, and visiting pups can relax or enjoy quiet companionship. In the afternoon, we offer light play, enrichment, or short outings, and sometimes a special treat like a homemade snack or a pup cup. Evenings are peaceful with backyard time, movies, and cuddles before settling into each dog’s normal nighttime routine. Your pup’s usual schedule will always be respected so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured, and loving home where every pup is treated with the same care and attention I give to my own dogs, Shiloh and Zeus. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, follow your dog’s routine closely, and always supervise playtime to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. I believe in building trust through clear communication, consistency, and respect for each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup is relaxing, playing, or settling in for the night, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they’re safe, supported, and truly cared for.

About: I am a lifelong dog owner. I recently rescued a four legged friend myself which makes me a proud dog mom. I am trusted and relied on by friends, family, and customers to dog sit, walk their dog, and give their fur babies as much love an attention as they need while their owners are away. I am able to follow a strict diet and medication time for those puppies who need it. I am also an active outdoors women for those who just want a little exercise. Your pet is my priority. I currently work part time. The days I am most available are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Monday through Thursdays I am available before 8am and after 5pm. I currently have two dogs. One is a medium size dog who is an absolute sweetheart. A little timid but very mellow. The other one is a hyper little one. I have been dog sitting for the last 5 years. Taking care of multiple dogs at a time. One dog is a professional show dog who required strict exercise, feeding schedule, medicine, and attention. I am very good with all dogs big or small.

“Colby was awesome: respectful, understanding and timely. I’d highly recommend!!”

About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.

About: Patient and compassionate caretaker of animals of all ages and sizes. Owner of 5 animals who frequently fosters, and feeds animals throughout the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area. As an Orchestral musician, my day time schedule is pretty flexible. Since my job is primarily focused on personal preparation, i can choose when I work. I don't offer services out of my house because my dogs can be a little slow to trust, but have years of experience walking and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes.

“Alana was fantastic. Punctual and very caring. Highly recommend!”

Greg R.

“We were visiting family in Sarasota and last minute needed a dog walker for the day. Christine was available the night before and walked our dog twice for us while we were gone all day. She sent us photos of both walks which was great. Highly recommend and will use her again if we are back in Sarasota with our dog!”

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust that I will show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. I do not just watch animals. I connect with them, care for them, and treat them like they matter, because they do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. I do not have pets of my own, but there are pets in the home belonging to my roommates. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred
