Dog Walking in Ruskin

“Lisa was amazing and we will 100% book her again! Melly and Tallulah loved their walks everyday and after the 2nd day would wait for Lisa by the door! Lisa was always on time, easy to communicate with and very flexible when I changed the walk time a couple of times! It's easy to see Lisa's love for animals and she treated Melly and Tallulah like her own. Thank you Lisa!”

“Brandan is awesome with my pup Jace! He always has his safety in the front of his mind. Jace loves Brandan. It’s so apparent in all the pictures he sends me daily. Brandan is also very good about notifying me through the app about his arrival and departure time. He is so good to Jace!”

About: Hi, I’m Drue L! I work full-time in early childhood education at a local daycare in the Apollo Beach/Ruskin area, and in my free time, I’m passionate about caring for animals. My husband and I have rescued three hound dogs and two cats, so I have extensive hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also comfortable caring for smaller pets such as guinea pigs, hamsters, and aquatic animals. Whether it’s a daily check-in or an extended vacation, I do my best to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. My schedule allows for morning and evening availability, and I always strive to accommodate special requests when possible. I work from 8 AM to 5 PM with a one-hour break midday, making me available for local lunchtime check-ins as well. I’d love the opportunity to chat about how I can help make you and your pet feel at ease while you’re away! My schedule allows for morning and evening availability, and I always strive to accommodate special requests when possible. I work from 8 AM to 5 PM with a one-hour break midday, making me available for local lunchtime check-ins as well. I live in a home with three large dog breeds and two cats who live harmoniously. I have a large crate if needed. I am versed in many types of collars, such a E-collars and prong collars + have experience walking large breeds.

About: My family and I are major pet people, so I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, etc. for my entire life. I’ve cared for multiple kittens, puppies, and even a newborn squirrel! I’ve also cared for multiple senior pets so I am able to care for pets of all ages. I currently have multiple dogs and cats that I take care of every day, as well as a snake! I recently graduated with my biology degree and I am applying for masters programs/ med school, so I have plenty of time on my hands right now to be available on all weekdays. I walk my 3 dogs everyday; I can walk your dogs on a leash or watch after them while they play outside if your yard is fenced, or keep them leashed if you have no fence, whatever you prefer!

“We can’t say enough about Emily! She’s just simply amazing. Our baby, Penny, adores her and Penny definitely gets a lot of attention and affection when Emily visits. We highly recommend Emily!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 15. Anything from chihuahuas to pit bulls. I am now retired full time and looking to help you with any of your fur baby needs now that I have so much free time! I am retired full time and other than taking my high schooler back and forth to school am always at home so your babies will hardly ever be left alone! I have a large fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep yours company! Not too many pet rules in my home..allowed on all furniture and can go in and out whenever they want!

“I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for Jennifer. She provides realistic report cards of your pet[s] so you know what is occurring in your absence & they 100% reflect my girls' personalities so I know they were comfortable and at ease in her care.”

About: I grew up with dogs (Boxer, Beagle, Golden Retriever, Min Pin, Havanese) since I was born and raised 3 of my own. I LOVE all animals as well as my family. I introduced this love to my daughter 11 years ago when she was 9 & together, we take care of numerous pets in and around our neighborhood. She's in college now, but always enjoys caring for any animal we provide pet services to when she’s at home. I appreciate you in advance for trusting me and my family to take care for your pet(s) whenever given the opportunity. I've personally never known what it's like to not take care for an animal until recently when we lost our 12 1/2 year old Havanese, Pepper, to congestive heart failure . We miss our Pepper so have a lot of love to give to any pet(s). We'll do our best to treat them just like you would. Our goal is to make them feel like at home. If that's the service you're wanting for your fur baby/babies - look no further! Book a meet and greet as well as text me any questions you have. We take care of animals for family, friends, & around our neighborhood. My schedule is flexible & I'm available most mornings, afternoons, & early evenings. Our goal is to care for them just like you do, giving you the peace of mind knowing that they or them are in kind, loving, trustworthy, reliable hands. I have a fenced in backyard and care for any animal around the clock. When housing animals, I do ask that animals do not jump up on the furniture on their own free will. We prefer that they are trained to come up when asked or picked up. We have leather couches and will provide blankets as needed to accommodate them. Our Pepper, had congestive heart failure and was on medication and a special diet, so giving medicines and whatever is required for them during their stay is doable. We usually walk dogs 3x a day, as weather permits, and for the length of time you let me know is comfortable for them. We live in a cul-de-sac, so for many it's just a nice walk around the block for 10-15 minutes. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Thanks again and hope to see you and your fur babies real soon.

“Bertha is a wonderful dog walker. She took time to meet our dog before the one-day walk. She made us feel secure in our choice. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have a passion and love for animals and will treat yours like they are my own. I go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels comfortable safe and happy while they are at their home away from home. I can give your pet The attention, care, and love it needs during the entire time they are with me, and make loving/caring for them apart of my daily routine! I do boarding service and doggy daycare in my home, walks or at home visits will be done in the clients home or whatever they prefer. I love to do fun activities like long walks, play time, dog park, treats and extra love!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—and my heart! I currently share my home with two fun-loving pups and four quirky cats. Our fenced-in yard is perfect for safe playtime, and thanks to our handy doggie and kitty doors, the crew can come and go as they please between the house, lanai, and yard. Even my outdoor kitty joins in the fun—she loves tagging along on evening walks with the pups (yes, she’s basically one of the dogs!). She lives on the front stoop like a little porch queen, but I’ve made sure she has a cozy house to snuggle into. When storms roll in, she may not love being brought onto the lanai, but I make sure she’s safe, dry, and loved until the sun comes back out. Caring for pets is second nature to me, and I’d love to give your furry family members the same kind of love, attention, and cozy comfort while you're away! I'm retired, which means I have plenty of time, flexibility, and love to give! Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life—I spend my days surrounded by my own pets, and I’m always happy to welcome more furry friends into the mix. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to provide dependable care and lots of affection whenever your pets need it most. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home. In my house, pets enjoy a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, access to the indoors and lanai through pet doors, and plenty of cozy spots to relax. I'm home throughout the day, so they get lots of attention, affection, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—mealtimes, walks, play, medication if needed, and of course, plenty of snuggles. I treat each pet like one of my own and make sure they feel calm, happy, and cared for while you're away.
