Dog Walking Myakka City

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.

“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.”

“Karen took the best care of my two frenchie babies while I took a couple of day trips out of town. She sent updates, photos, and videos each visit. 10/10 would recommend and use again!!”

About: I was active in 4h and FFA, have taken care of many animals from small to large. I have 4 dogs. Love them so much❤️ I am a college student, but I do online, so during the weeks days, and some weekends works for me. I am usually free later in the day. However if you need all day I can also do that too. I can’t bring pets to my house due to all of the animals we have, however I can watch them at your own home , I can come over as many times as needed

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.

“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 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.

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!

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

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 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.

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.

“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!”

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

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 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: I have taken care of pets personally since I was 10 years old. I currently have a cat that I personally medicate daily. My experience watching pets spans from house sitting large dogs to cats. I can walk, feed, and medicate both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at both cat and dog shelters throughout my life. I have extensive experience with animals. I make it a point to care for pets as if there owners never left making them feel comfortable and cared for. I do work full time outside of rover which requires me to be gone for working hours. On weekdays I am away no more than 8 hours and on weekends I try to be gone less than 4 hour increments. I dog sit because I love animals. Please contact me if you are okay with these restrictions. Currently I am working during the week but have availability over the weekends and Thursdays! I am flexible depending on how far the location is from my home and job! It is important to keep pets environment clean and safe, so I always make it a point to keep things tidy. I ensure that the home will look exactly like the owner has left it and that their pet is well cared for. In the event of accidents, I have no problem cleaning up the mess and bathing the animal if necessary. Please just leave instructions on how you would like the cleaning and bathing handled!

“Susan was wonderfully patient with our very fearful dog. She worked to gain his trust and now he is happy to see her and go for a walk with her. Very glad we found Susan!”
