Dog Walking Sarasota

“Taylor did very well with Teddy. He is a little skittish, but she was able to get him to trust her. I will use Taylor again when I have the opportunity to go out to dinner or to a ball game. She was very attentive to the dog and played with him to make him feel more comfortable.”

About: I’ve grown up with many animals for years, but it all started with my first dog Luna when I was 6! She’s now very old and my mom and I do our best to treat her with care and patience. We’ve had times where we’ve had to take her to the vet, give her medicines, and adjust her diet to benefit her health. She’s been on my side all my life, and so have I! Whenever I could, I would hug and kiss all of my animals to show them that neglect is not a part of this household. I often walk her afterschool and I always let her sleep with me when she wants (she has the attitude of a queen)! I sometimes would pull out her old toy and play with her, but gently enough not to strain her! Regardless of the circumstances, I’ve given every animal all the care I could. Not only does it help them, but it makes me happy! To see an animal enjoying my company has to be one of the greatest feelings in the world, and that connection is better than anything! Due to college, I am only available for the last half of Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday! But, I will be updating my availability if anything pops up and I’ll openly talk about scheduling with clients ☀️☀️ How I care for pets all depends on the environment and their needs! Living in a small home with limited grass space, I often times take all of my animals outside and chill with them! I’ll walk my dog on the sidewalks of my neighborhood’s, let my birds feel the breeze in their cage, and let my cats explore the space freely!

“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 and watched dogs of all ages and sizes. I have trained and raised my own dog of 13 years. I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am currently working full time but I am available most late afternoons and evenings, including the weekend! I am very trustworthy and have excellent time management skills. Communication in advance is key and I respond quickly to messages. My service will focus mostly on walking your dogs since the condo I live in doesn’t allow me to board pets with me, unfortunately. But I look forward to meeting and caring for your dogs on their daily walks!

“Ashton was so nice and patient with my dog, he is very anxious and not always the friendliest but she did a great job with Apollo, and Apollo seemed to also be very confortable around her, we will continue to use her services as we were very pleased!!!😄”

About: I’m a lifelong pet owner and genuinely love spending time with dogs — playing, exploring, and getting them out for enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. My own dog and I are regulars at sniff spots and the beach, and I know how much a good sniffy walk can do for a dog’s mood and energy. I have specific experience with reactive dogs, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing triggers, and keeping walks calm and controlled. At home I’ve got two cats, and between my own pets and my 5 granddogs (a few of whom have physical disabilities), I’ve had a lot of practice adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. You’ll get a reliable, on-time sitter/walker who treats your dog like part of the pack, with photo and text updates along the way. A few highlights: • Experienced with reactive dogs — calm, attentive handling • Loves active outings: sniff spots, beach walks, play sessions • Comfortable with dogs who have physical disabilities or special needs Flexible, fully open schedule — available weekdays, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I can accommodate last-minute requests and recurring bookings alike. Careful, security-conscious sitter. I’m always attentive to leashes, gates, and doors, keeping every pet secure and safe. I will treat them like my own.

“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: Experienced local pet sitter. I look after two high energy German Shepard dogs regularly and used to have a Yorkie so I know skills to help look after your fur baby! My current schedule availability is fairly flexible if scheduled in advance. I am available Monday- Thursday from 10am-7pm. If you urgently need help outside of these times please reach out and I will try my best to help you out! I will treat your pets with tons of love, playtime & affection as I know it can be a stressful experience to have their owner away!

“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 experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I am patient, responsible, and make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their families are away. My schedule is flexible, and I am available for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits during the week and on weekends. I am happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide reliable care whenever you need support. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are supervised and cared for in a calm and safe environment. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care your pet may need. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you are away. I am attentive to their behavior and needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also keep pet owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Rosie loves her walks with Raven. She knows she needed the exercise and to get in some sniffing time. She's wagging her tail and I think she's 😁 smiling!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have been caring for them since I was a kid. I’ve lived with and worked with all kinds of breeds, from German Shepherds and Pit Bulls to Toy Poodles and Chihuahuas. I’ve also worked with dogs that were fearful or difficult to manage and, with patience, consistency, and training, helped them become more comfortable and confident. I have plenty of experience with puppies, including helping with potty training, and I’m comfortable with cats as well. I’m used to handling everyday grooming and basic care and know when something is best left to the vet. I’m pretty calm in stressful situations and don’t get easily overwhelmed. Most importantly, I believe animals respond best to patience, consistency, love, and respect. I’m comfortable setting boundaries and maintaining house rules, but I don’t believe in harsh physical correction. My goal is always to build trust and create a good relationship with every animal in my care. To me, there’s no such thing as a bad dog just an animal that may need more patience, understanding, and the right guidance. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding as my schedule is flexible and rotating. I’m available Mon-Sunday 6am-2pm and select evenings. Feel free to reach out about evening care my availability changes week to week. I currently live in an apartment located close to downtown. Even though I lack large space and a fenced in yard I am a stones throw away from a large park and put it to good use. I have one very friendly dog who is full of love and a very curious cat. I am able to crate your animal if the need arises. With my dog we are very active and go on 3-5 walks a day. She loves adventures and car rides so we go out and about a lot! I have reliable transportation and don’t mind driving to fit your needs. Currently I have so many dog / cat toys we could fund a small shelter. We have plenty of supplies to keep your fur babies happy and entertained. I have done work in many industries which required me to be adept at problem solving, reliable and trustworthy. High stress environments don’t bother me. We love the little ones and have fostered in the past, we just hate having to give them back!

About: I have been taking care of animals as long as I can remember - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, geckos, you name it! When it comes to dogs, I am comfortable with all the different genres from big to small, puppy to elder. As a cat owner myself, I love going the extra mile to make sure cat is comfortable and happy. I would love to be able to take care of your animals, whether that’s long walks, dog park visits, administering medication, or just plain old pets. I will dedicate my time to making sure your animals are well taken care of! My current work schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins or house sittings whenever needed! I am super flexible and open to last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your dog for walks or visit a dog park! If I am visiting a cat, I’m happy to scoop litter and give pets. I have experience in delivering oral medication if your pet needs it.

About: Been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’ve had cats and digs growing up my entire life! I love to be active and walk and have free time and would love to be around animals I am Flexible all week and weekend when in town. I do travel often. Want to stay busy when I am in town and love animals! I can do whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and crate of my own. I only crate mine now when needed but that is not often as he is older. I only have one of my dogs with me at my home as my other dog is with my mother in my home town.

“So lucky to find such a great friend for my dog Shadow. Great communication, on time, in control, and great with dogs. I felt comfortable that Caroline was with my dog while I was gone. I will absolutely use Caroline as long as she is available!”
