Dog Walking Rio

About: I have taken care of multiple animals the past 40 years. From dogs to cats to horses to birds. I truly have a passion for all animals! I also have a rather large fenced in back yard that allows for many activities during the day. I will love your animals like they are my own! Your animal will be cared for quite frequently. I do work full time, but my husband does not. Allowing for multiple potty breaks and snuggle time during the day and night. Pets will be cared for like they are my OWN. I have a passion for animals and quite honestly enjoy having multiple pets in the house at any given time frame.

“Ana is an amazing and professional walker. She treats my babies so well and cares for them perfectly. I am very grateful to have her in our lives.”

About: I believe they will see that I will care for their dogs as I do my own. My boy "Jax" in the picture, he took his last run on 12-17-2023. Miss him dearly. RIP My angel! I grew up with Poms and went on to the large breeds once I was on my own. Germans shepherds, Newfoundland, English Mastiffs, Afghan Hound and a Great Dane. I am a dog and animal lover PERIOD. I really should have been a vet, vet tech or maybe even a zoologist! But I'm happy just to spend time with the dogs. I have house broken and trained all my dogs personally to basic commands and even some tricks. Some dogs are verbal and some are visual. Not all dogs are the same! That's why I LOVE them SO much!! ~ Reba I own a small Swimming Pool Service Company and have for 20 years. I no longer work in the field I occasionally go troubleshooting jobs or meet with new clients. So I'm semi-retired and home quite a bit I don't really go much of anywhere. I have a fenced-in yard, bordered by bamboo and lots of sniffing/hunting areas. However, they are never left unattended. I'm always outside with them. There is also a pool for the swimmers and a grassy area for just for playing.

“Baylee loved his walks with Elaine! She was always on time & happy to see him. We would defiantly use her again!”

About: Owned and taken care of animals since I was little. Cats, dogs, other mammals/reptiles. Great with dogs no matter the energy or temperament, I can get them to feel comfortable. Besides caring for my son after school and summer camps, I have free time most of the day to do any checks or walks as long as it's not overnight/late night. I can care for them with provided toys/food/area or I am capable of taking them on walks if they need time out farther from the house. I know older dogs may not want to play fetch but still need to walk around the block a bit. Also cleaning if the owner has the area and supplies is no issue, I love giving dogs a bath.

About: Hi, I’m Catherine, a lifelong dog lover based in East Port Saint Lucie! I grew up surrounded by dogs and truly believe they make life brighter and more joyful. Not long ago, I said goodbye to my beloved Shi Tzu, with whom I shared countless long, adventurous walks—so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet care for pups of all sizes (0–101+ lbs). Walks can be tailored to your dog’s needs, from quick potty breaks to fun, energetic strolls of 20–45 minutes. I’m also happy to provide plenty of playtime, belly rubs, fresh water, and updates to keep you connected while you’re away. Since I currently work from home, I’m flexible and can accommodate early morning, midday, or evening walks. Weekends are completely open, so your pet will get the attention they deserve. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or a seasoned adventurer, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! I currently work from home, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pets. I’m available for early morning, midday, or evening walks during the week, as well as full availability on weekends. My experience walking my adventurous Shi Tzu taught me to tailor walks to each dog’s needs—typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I will treat your space and your pet with care and respect. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and preferences to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where your dog’s needs and habits are fully catered to. I take safe, scenic routes for walks, avoid busy streets, and ensure every outing and visit is tailored to your pet’s well-being and happiness.

About: I was a kennel supervisor for 8 years. I have sat neighbors animals and family friends animals. I am a Registered Nurse of 30 years! When your pet stays at my house they will be treated as if they were my own. I have an 8 year old black lab Fin who gets along well with all dogs. Your dog will not be in a crate. They are free to roam my house and lay on the couch and cuddle with Fin 🐶❤️. Daily walks are a must ! I have a fenced back yard where the dogs can freely go potty and play. I never take more than 2 dogs at a time so your pup will get the individualized care they deserve . I currently work part time and there are always people home! No matter what hour or day we are here to provide the most optimal care! I will feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them all the attention they need as if they were my own dog 🐕!

“Tiffany was wonderful with our pup. She has excellent communication skills and kept me informed during and after the visit.”

About: I consider myself lucky to have grown up in a home with cats and dogs- I have never NOT had a pet! I have experience in caring for animals with medical conditions after having a dog with epilepsy and severe allergies. I have also been fostering kittens for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast since 2019 (as of November '25 I've fostered over 40!) and I'm very comfortable with giving oral/topical medications after fostering kittens with upper respiratory infections, wounds, and ringworm. I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule, so I have availability for multiple visits a day as needed for drop-ins! I do foster for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast, so for any cat boarding requests I need *at least* 2 weeks notice to ensure I don't have a foster at the time of boarding to ensure a safe and healthy environment for a boarding cat. At this time I am unable to board dogs, but will update if that changes. In a client's home I am happy to adhere to your rules/requests/restrictions to ensure your pet's safety. In my own home I have a kitten apartment built with plastic panels for fosters, but within a day or two they always gain their freedom to roam my condo! I am very careful before opening exterior doors and my condo is permanently kitten-proofed, so your cat or kitten will be safe, well cared for, and adored during their visit with me!

“Have just started booking Jaina to walk my 2 80lb Labs weekdays when I am at work. Both are excessively friendly, but will never be service dog trained quality. She has quickly learned to control the quirks of the very excitable 3 yr old chocolate and to then shift gears for laid back 4 yr old black lab. Communications have been excellent and she asks the right questions. Will highly recommend (except for around noon weekdays :) )”

About: Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs—including having a Husky and two Yorkshire Terriers of my own—I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for dogs at different life stages, including both young and senior pets, and I know how important it is to tailor care to each individual animal. Whether your pet needs plenty of exercise and high-energy play or simply calm companionship and reassurance, I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable. As a sitter, I am reliable, punctual, attentive, and compassionate. I prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being and physical safety while maintaining a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. I also understand the importance of following routines, respecting instructions, and keeping owners informed while they are away. In an emergency, I remain calm, assess the situation carefully, contact the owner promptly, and prioritize veterinary care when necessary. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I look forward to getting to know your furry family member and giving them the care and companionship they deserve! I’m a full-time online student working toward my bachelor’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule compared to a traditional in-person student. I can easily plan my schoolwork around pet care and make sure I have dedicated time for each pet. As long as I have time to complete my homework either before or during a pet stay, I’m happy to spend extended periods with your pet. This flexibility makes me a great fit for overnight stays and house sitting, especially for owners who prefer having someone stay in their home with their pet. I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly while still being present, attentive, and available for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to provide companionship and care while also maintaining my school responsibilities, making overnight and longer stays especially convenient for me. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow the routines and instructions their owner has provided. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their pet comfortable by maintaining their normal feeding, playtime, bathroom, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. For overnight stays and house sitting, I’m happy to spend extended periods in the home so pets have companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. Since I’m a full-time online student, I can bring my schoolwork with me and work quietly from the client’s home while still being present and attentive to their pet. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and respect each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since childhood. Growing up, my family always had at least one cat and one dog in the home and my siblings and I were responsible for caring for these animals. I have always had some sort of pet since then. Currently, I am mother to my pride and joy: an 11-year-old Yorkie. He is an older dog now and sleeps a majority of the day. I am looking for other pets to keep me occupied as I work from home. I will be considering them my new coworkers. 😊 I currently run my business from my apartment. I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself. I have plenty of time to care for dogs and board in my home. I am open to different situations in the home. I live in an apartment building with many dog owners. The apartment is attached to a dog park and there are many larger dog parks in the area.

About: I have trained seeing eye dogs for over 10 years while also having pets of my own my whole life. I love animals and have special skills of care. I am able to walk and play with animals during the day, I work fully remote. I love being outside with animals and taking walks daily as well as play time inside. I take care of pets inside and outside my home. I am able to take many walks and feed during the day as well as at night.

About: Hello! My name is Avalon ! Since I can remember Ive owned cats and dogs. My current animals ranging from a 13 year old senior, to a fresh 1 year old frenchie ! Im aware and very cautious with allergies as mine have many . I’ve always loved all animals like they were my own, enjoying every moment of cuddles and play. Im currently part time and new to the Florida area which leaves me with extra time to care for not only my own pets but yours as well ! With a dog friendly car, trips for a walk in the park for new scenery won’t be an issue or local walks around the neighborhood. As I meet new fur friends and family’s I like to do a walking check in all yards to ensure the safety of the pets as they go out to explore . You never know what could come up or what could be found better safe than sorry! Keeping a close eye is my specialty as I treat all animals as my own. I follow careful instructions as you know your pet best !

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and no dog is too large for me to handle and care for. I have kitty cat experience as well I’m home most of the time till I have to go to work which is a very flexible for me or if I need to go run errands I have a super sweet dog at home that has no issues with any animals and I have a crate if needed for your pup. I have also fostered animals through HSTC and they love me over there!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since college, and I’ve always loved that every animal has their own little world to discover. Some need the long walk, the big adventure, and a serious game of fetch. Some need to run around like they’ve got somewhere very important to be. And some are happiest curled up beside you, getting approximately 14,000 hours of uninterrupted couch time. I love all of them. I’ve cared for dogs and cats in all kinds of seasons of life, including longer cat-sitting stays in Brooklyn, and I’m big on taking the time to actually get to know your pet. Their routines, their quirks, what makes them comfortable, what makes them light up. The goal is to build trust first, so that when you’re away, they feel safe, cared for, and genuinely happy to see me. And I want that same feeling for you. Clear communication, thoughtful updates, and knowing your pet is in good hands makes everything easier. Whether it’s a long neighborhood walk, a high-energy play date, a slow afternoon with an older pup, or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’m here for the full range of pet personalities. 🐾 I’m currently working on two personal projects, so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m dependable, reliable, and happy to be flexible with walks, drop-ins, and longer stays when my schedule allows. I take trust seriously, both with pets and their people. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and what helps them feel comfortable. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to details, and will communicate clearly while your pet is in my care.

“Clyde was super happy with Emilia, attentive and responsive”

“Glenn is very reliable and responsible, as well as proactive. If there is a problem with the food or the dogs he is sure to let me know. He has done an excellent job with our two dogs, even accommodating the older one with a shorter walk while taking the younger one on a longer walk.”

Sara Y.

“So happy to have found Ashley and Aubrey! They took the time to make my very skittish dog comfortable with them! We've been putting off vacations and travel since moving to the area because our dog has such high anxiety, but now we have the confidence that he's in the right hands!”

Kelsey R.

“Professional and personable and made us and our pup very comfortable!”
