Dog Walkers in South Sarasota, FL

“Wonderful walker who was chill around my energetic Golden and was able to manage his excitement. Carolina took great pics of Captain and really captured who he is on his walks, happy with a stick and running joyful. That let me know he enjoyed his time with Carolina and was comfortable with her — we will be rebooking!”

“Evelyn got back to me quickly and came for a meet and greet right away. My baby Cooper had a rough puppyhood and is afraid and reactive.He’s very strong and can pull me down. I am always worried that a new walker might not be able to handle him. Evelyn was confident putting my mind at ease. She is wonderful and sweet to Coop , who loved her immediately. I am so lucky to have found her. Evelyn is kind and calm and I believe she could handle any situation. Cooper and I are so happy.”

About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

“Christine is awesome. Have total confidence in her. Will be calling on her again”

About: Animals run my world to say the least. Starting young and bringing everything home as a child. Snakes, turtles, ferrets, stay dogs. Everything became part of the family. As I got older the passion grew even further. Expanding to wolves, tigers, lions and more. Now also having a pack of 4 pups at home and a very spoiled kitty. Along with a few reptiles. Currently working part time having plenty of time to help take care of yours companions. I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work around you and your pets needs. Crating available if need for transport. Also along with chew proof leashes originally build for wolves with steal cables for even the most talented escape artist your pet is safe.

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.

“I knew our pup was in the best hands with Annie. She is incredibly kind and reliable. We are lucky to have met her, and I know our boy looks forward to future walks with her.”

About: I moved to Florida permanently a couple of months ago, but I know the area because my parents have lived here multiple years. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. In 2015, I adopted my very own black cat, Louie, from a kill shelter in Texas, which deepened my passion for animal rescue and care. During college in Chicago, I gained hands-on experience working at animal shelters, where I learned valuable skills in handling and caring for different breeds and temperaments. I’m comfortable using gentle leaders as well as standard leashes, ensuring safe and positive walking experiences for dogs. Currently, I share my home with four cats and two dogs, and I truly love working with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and purpose every single day. I’m currently working part time from home, so I have plenty of availability to drop-in, take a walk, or even hang out with furr friends. I’m available: M, Tu, Wed, Fri, Sat from 7:30am-6pm Th, Sun from 7:30am-5pm *special requests may be considered if I happen to be available When taking walk or going outside, I take the safety of any dog seriously and have experience distracting dogs or leading them away from anything that may cause a problem to arise.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.

“I booked Kim for a last minute walk. She contacted me right away and was on time. My dog was a little nervous at first but by the time she came back from her walk she was smiling. Kim was patient and sweet with my dog. I am extremely pleased with Kim and will use her again.”

I take precautions on every walk—securing leashes, avoiding unsafe areas, and keeping a close eye on your dog’s behavior and energy. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe and cared for, whether that means going slow with a shy pup or bringing a little extra energy for playful dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands!

About: Hello! Since the young age of ten I have been given the responsibility of feeding and letting out my neighbors' dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even sea monkeys! The times spent with the larger pets involved me staying for extended periods of time to walk, wash, feed, and just spend time with them! More recently I have started spending the night at peoples' houses which included all of the duties mentioned previously. I also have worked with horses since a very young age, and while that won't be necessary in the big city, since it's a big responsibility I thought I'd add it! On top of my experience, I truly don't see animals as an accessory, but as companions that do so much more for us than we do for them. I would love to be a home away from home for your critter!

“My dog was safe and happy when I returned home but Hannah was 45 minutes late white was unfortunate”
