Dog Walking In Original Gillespie Park

“Jewell is an amazing dog walker. She arrived early to meet Nauni which was very thoughtful. Nauni was very happy when she returned from her walk with Jewell. I will use Jewell again.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for the last eight years, including puppies and energetic dogs. I've got lots of toys, treats, and time to give your best friend :) and honestly I love dogs so much I would do this just for the joy of seeing dogs. I'm free all day every day! I just graduated, so my summer break is devoted completely to taking care of your pup. I'm flexible with super early or very late pick ups or drop offs, and I don't mind doing walks or drop ins at any hour! I usually play a lot with the pup, or take it on a walk. I love a good cuddle session, or even just hanging out together on the couch. Personally I feed my dog every morning and evening, and provide plenty of time in our fenced-in backyard to explore and run.

“Rebeca is a sweet and kind walker! Captain adores her and she is def a dog person 🧡”

“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!”

About: I am currently a student on break for the summer in Sarasota. I am a proud dog mom to a 4 year old bulldog, Azula. I am very good with all dogs of all ages and sizes! I am on break from school, so I am available to for dog walking or drop-ins at any time necessary. This includes weekends and holidays! I am a responsible person and have cared for many dogs in different homes. With clear instructions left, I can provide the above excellent service you want.

About: I grew up in Michigan always being around animals of all kinds. I was a part of 4-H for 12 years and have owned and taken care of horses since I was practically 5 years old competing in various equine competitions. My family always had indoor-outdoor cats that I loved dearly and my grandma owned a farm that I helped run. I have dog sat for several neighbors throughout my life since I was never fortunate enough to have one of my own. Luckily now I am an aunt to my brother's dog Odin who I have cared for. Today I reside in Florida with my furry friend Kaiah who is a beautiful long-haired cat that is very outgoing and spoiled. She loves car rides and goes everywhere with me. She even has a special bowl for her favorite treats. The reason why I made a rover is because I know what it is like to worry about the care of my pets while I am away! It breaks my heart that I could not bring my horse with me to Florida however I know my mom loves him and that he is getting the attention he needs. I want to be a motherly figure in your pet's life and provide comfort and quality time while also making sure they have been cleaned up after. Dogs, Cats, and Horses are my specialty. I enjoy fitness and spending time outdoors so if you are looking for someone to stop by and walk your dog, or play with your cat or exercise, brush and feed your horse please do not hesitate to contact me. I currently have a relaxed full time job where I can work from the comfort of my home, in my office, or anywhere with WIFI. I travel occasionally for work but am flexible if booked in advance. I think cleanliness is important! no one wants to come home to a stinky litter box and or a pile of poop. I think its important to make sure that dogs are being walked until they have went to the bathroom and that litter boxes are being cleaned out daily. Secondly, I think its important to make sure water is fresh and food is provided on a schedule or in my case the cat food bowl is always full (I let my cat eat whenever she is hungry and she is very healthy). Lastly and most importantly no matter what animal it is they need play time and attention weather it be a walk or a playing fetch at the park or playing with your cats favorite wand toy. Cleanliness Nutrition and Love !

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

I would treat your furry friends with the same care and respect as I do mine.

“Highly recommend her! She communicates and arrives on time. Our dog must have really enjoyed his time with her because he was napping when I got home and was tired. She updated me with great pics of their walk.”

About: I have always had a dog in my life since I was born but my caretaking journey started when a little corgi entered into my world. She was an escape artist, food fiend, she couldn’t be left for too long and she battled anxiety her whole life, but she brought me the most joy. She taught me attentiveness, and limitless love. She recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I have been missing the presence of my fury friend but am excited to hang out with doggies again!!! Skills include: puppy care, senior care, special needs. This summer I will be in a production at the Asolo Repertory Theatre but before that I am looking to spend as much time with pups as I can. During the school year, I am a grad student and my weekends are usually free. I have class 9-5:30pm tue-fri. Mondays are always free. I appreciate a list of instructions specifically stating your pets schedule and needs. The more detailed the better:) I love to take videos and pictures to keep you updated through the process. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your baby with a stranger.

About: I have taken care of pets and been around them since I was 5. My family and friends usually rely on me to watch over their pets when they are gone. I am currently in high school and I also play sports. I am free on weekends (Saturday and Sunday). I can most likely make my schedule a little more flexible if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a VERY friendly dog that will he keep your furry buddy company. I am also able to commute very easily.

“My dog loves Breanna. She always shows up on time and is so pleasant. I will miss her when I no longer need her. She has been such a great help as I recovered from a hip replacement. Thanks for helping me find her.”

“Daelia took such good care of my baby! She was communicative, followed instructions, and sent photos. She even took care of her in the days following her spay surgery. Thank you again!”

About: I have years of personal and volunteer experience caring for both dogs and cats. I raised and cared for two small Schnauzers, and I’ve also looked after about three medium-sized and two large dogs, taking them on walks and making sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. I volunteered at a dog shelter where I helped feed, walk, and care for the dogs regularly. I also cared for the cats at the shelter, ensuring they were clean, fed, and happy. At home, I’ve taken care of my grandmother’s cats—brushing them, feeding them, and spending quality playtime with them. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and always treat them with love, patience, and responsibility. My schedule is very flexible, as I run my own business and manage my own time. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and any other specific routines your pet may have Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I take the time to build trust with each pet, going at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable around me. Whether it’s keeping dangerous items out of reach, supervising outdoor time, or simply providing a quiet, cozy space to rest, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving atmosphere. Communication with pet owners is also key — I always keep them updated and informed.

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: Hey there! I am a Rover veteran, who took a break for a couple years to start my career and human family, but I am back and so happy to be! I am a proud dog momma of a 2 Australian Shepherds. I have had cat and dogs in my life for over 20 years. My pups are always pampered and treated like family. My perfect day is spent outside walking with my pups and ending the day with couch snuggles. We are a very active household. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes. From 5-130 pounds. I also have personal experience in taking care of multiple dogs — I used to be an owner of 3 dogs on my own! I can assure you, you’re sweet pup or kitty will be treated like the prince or princess they are and get lots of love and walks! I am currently a stay at home mom to one baby girl, so I have plenty of time to provide Rover services to meet you and your fur baby’s needs. Additionally, much of my day revolves around giving my own pups all the activity and love they deserve and will be sure to give that to yours as well! Before booking a service with me, I am always happy to meet in person first and make sure I am a good match for your fur baby. If I am providing services in your home, my goal is to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible and give them as much love and attention as they deserve while their parent is away. I will happily follow your typical routine you have set for them while you are away!

“Jose and Alexis are the best dog walkers I’ve had the experience working with. I’m currently recovering from surgery and they went above and beyond in taking care of Luna. They made sure she got all of her energy out so that I could recover without worrying about her getting all the exercise she needed. I will continue using Jose and Alexis for all my dog walking needs as long as they are available.”

About: I got my first dog when I was 4 years old and have ever since had dogs in my life. Whether mine, friends, or finding fur mates to walk and puppy sit. I love to travel so don’t have any of my own but wherever I go I make sure I have a running/ walking/ snuggle bud close by. I have cared for puppies, small dogs, elderly dogs, and very large dogs whom needed extra care. I’ve administered ear and allergy medication and my best friend is a Veterinarian so she has always been very helpful with any questions I’ve had. I’ve cared for cats as well. I’ve lived with 4 different cats and have watched 2 others but have never had one of my own. I enjoy running, hikes, and walks on the beach so it’s always nice to have a buddy to have tag along. I enjoy throwing the ball and I love teaching dogs new tricks! I’m very patient and persistent so I have done well with training if I’ve had quality time with them. I really love animals and getting paid to hang out with them is literally a dream. I would love to care for your pet and make a new friend ☺️. I am pretty flexible! Just message me with any scheduling questions that you may have! I am available most weekends and some of the holidays :) I care for dogs in clients home, but can board cats. I cannot board dogs cause the condo I live in does not allow it.
