Dog Walking Ruskin

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life which has allowed me to care for puppies to senior dogs on a daily basis with ease. I’m currently a full-time student in mostly online courses, which leaves plenty of time to play, walk, watch, and snuggle all of your pets with enthusiasm. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and provide plenty of love and care with lots of play time and potty breaks whether that be in a fenced yard or out on a walk.

“Anna was super sweet and aside from walking Benny, she played with him as well! I needed my dog Benny walked last minute and she took up the task and went above and beyond.”

“Sherry was amazing, very responsive, and responsibly priced. Not only did she provide photos and updates on my dog, she also notified me when she was in transit to my home to walk my dog. She even went the extra mile to ensure my dog was actually eating food by handfeeding my fur baby. I will be booking her for future pet needs. Thanks Sherry....YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!”

About: I bring years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with my own senior dog who’s now 14 and still living his best life. Caring for him has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to adapt routines for pets of all ages and energy levels. I’ve also spent plenty of time around cats and guinea pigs, giving me a solid understanding of different personalities and needs—from playful or shy kitties to small pets that require calm, careful attention. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a check-in, I make sure every animal feels safe, respected, and well cared for. Even with a full-time job, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m already up early for my own senior dog, so morning check-ins or feedings are easy to incorporate. I often use my lunch break for midday visits, giving pets a chance to stretch, potty, play, or simply enjoy some company. After work, I’m available for longer visits, walks, or evening drop-ins. Weekends are even more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time with pets who need longer outings or multiple check-ins. Supporting other people’s pets feels like a natural extension of my day, and I’m committed to making sure every animal gets the care, consistency, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each pet’s routine. In a client’s home, I follow their preferred schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, whether that means giving extra cuddles, keeping things low-key for shy animals, or offering plenty of play for energetic ones. In my own home, pets have designated spaces for rest and play, regular potty breaks, and supervised time to explore. No matter the location, I treat every pet with the same care and patience I give my own, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well looked after.

She is dependable, caring, and truly treats Jack like her own. We have complete peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Jack looks forward to his walks, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member! 🐾❤️”

About: I’ve raised Pugs to Jack Russell’s to Samoyeds. I’ve cared for many dogs from rescues to seniors. My sweet pug Ana was in a wheelchair for the last few years of her life. I’m currently retired and available to assist pet owners in the Sun City area with pet sitting and walking needs. I have a Jack Russell that is full of energy that loves to play with others and go on walks. My dog is an indoor/outdoor dog that loves hanging out on the lanai, playing ball and long walks. He gets along great with dogs and cats alike.

About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail. My schedule is entirely flexible because pet care is my professional focus. As the founder of a non-profit rescue, I have the autonomy to adjust my daily workload to ensure I am available for early mornings, critical medication times, and unexpected last-minute needs. Reliability is guaranteed. I care for every pet with the rigor of a professional rescuer and the heart of an advocate. Safety First: My background as a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) influences every decision I make. I am trained in risk assessment, meaning I proactively identify hazards (loose screens, toxic plants, escape routes) before they become problems. I am also fully trained in pet CPR and First Aid. Building Trust: Trust is built through consistency. Running a non-profit organization requires impeccable ethics and reliability. Whether in my home or yours, I adhere to strict feeding and medication schedules. A Low-Stress Environment: Using my Jackson Galaxy certification, I prioritize the pet's emotional well-being. I don't force interaction; instead, I use positive reinforcement and body language cues to build a bond. I am experienced in maintaining a sterile, healthy environment, ensuring that food bowls, litter boxes, and living areas are kept to rescue-grade standards of cleanliness.

I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way.

I'm happy to work with your schedule and your pet's routine to provide dependable, consistent care whenever you need it. When caring for pets in your home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible.

About: Hello! My name is Sasha, I’m a 25 year old zookeeper living with my family in Ruskin. I have experience with all kinds of species including birds, dogs, cats, primates, hoofstock, and reptiles. I’ve loved working in the animal field for the last 5 years at ranches, shelters, zoos, sanctuaries, and doggie daycares. I have experience giving oral and topical medication, vaccines, and more. My various jobs have given me lots of experience creating various types of enrichment as well. If you need help curbing your animals’ boredom during the summer, I’m your girl! My end goal is to open a sanctuary for wild cats, hyenas, and bears (so if you have big dogs, I will immediately be accepting 😂). I’m excited to love and care for your animals, and I promise your fur babies will be in the best, most loving hands possible! I work 4 days a week for 10 hours each day and my schedule is relatively predictable, so I can be as flexible as possible! My home will be unavailable as it is my family’s house and I’d rather not intrude on them like that, but caring for animals in their original home helps reduce anxiety for the pets and makes it easier for me to gain their trust anyway so I hope this isn’t an issue!

About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.
