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.

Worked good with my schedule being midnights. Made sure she went potty and checked her food before she left for the night. Took pictures of the walk. Very easy to coordinate with Carolina

Erica was amazing taking care of Winston! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, was on time, and really took care of him. I really appreciated being able to leave him all day knowing he would get a good walk with her. I would definitely use her again. Thank you so much!

About: I've had pets in my home as long as can remember, I love animals. I love going on walks, playing ball or tug of war, or just a belly rub and snuggle. I treat every pet as if it were my own and enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. Your pet's peace of mind and happiness are always a priority. I would gladly provide updates and photos while you are away, rest assured they are in good hands. I am currently working part time and enjoy a flexible schedule. I know that we can find a schedule that works for all of us. I am an empty nester with a longtime boyfriend; we have been in Florida for almost two years and have recently settled in Sarasota. I have enjoyed getting to know different parts of the state and look forward to more exploring.

Stephany has been coming over for walks with my senior pup for a few weeks now. A couple of the requests were short-notice and she was still able to help. She’s very responsive, gives great reports on how the visit went and always includes lots of pics. Her love for animals is so apparent! Thank you Stephany!!

About: I’m a counselor during the school year and have side jobs to supplement my income. Kids and animals love me as I love them even more! ;) For the pets that I fall in love with, I will maintain those services throughout the entire year. I have a therapy dog that works along side me. I’ve given medicine, bathe them, love them and be their fill in mommy until you return. ;) I’m also open to discussing the costs. ***Currently I don’t have any pets of my own so I have a lot of flexibility. The therapy dog is a volunteer. I have a lot of flexibility as this is my only job at the moment. I am off during the summers so I enjoy working with animals. During the school year I’m a school counselor. I feed them, provide love, walks, and play with them. I am happy to have your kennel here for them to feel comfortable in their little home.

I can tend to your dogs needs weather it just be a walk or to help make sure they have their medicine. I have provided advanced care for Dobermans with DCM, from admin of medicine orally and injectable to monitor heart monitors etc ’m a self-employed consultant who works entirely from home, which means I have genuine flexibility throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine — walks and visits aren’t a disruption, they’re a welcome break.

I’m a lifelong dog lover and Doberman owner — I’ve raised two Dobermans of my own, including one who was diagnosed with DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy), a serious cardiac condition.

About: I was an animal rights activist in LA for many years. My love for animals started as a small child; I grew up on a farm and have owned and cared for any kind of animal you can possibly imagine(even pet skunks). I have experience working in animal rescues, veterinary offices, and dog daycares. I started having my own pet sitting business in college called 'Fuzzy Buddies'. I am extremely in tune and sensitive to each individual animal's needs. My downfall is I will completely baby your beloved fur-children. I can do house sitting visits or stay overnight with your babies. I can also administer medications along with meal plans or take to and from the vet. I very much look forward to spending time with your beloved angel-babies!

About: I have taken care of pets all my life. I even moved to another country to take care of them! Pure joy it brings me. I’m currently working full-time 9-5 until December. After that, I will have more time to enjoy the day outside with pets and connect with nature. While your pet is staying at my home, I will walk them every 2-3 hours. I enjoy walks alone so I’m excited for the company. They can sleep on my bed and sit on the couch. I am not fussy. I will respect your home and most importantly take care of your pet like I would with mine. My childhood dog that I had since I was 7, passed away a couple years ago. I miss having Rocky around and want the joy of having a pet in my daily life again.

Jewels was wonderful. She did a meet and greet prior to the actual dog walking appointment. That really impressed me. She also faced numerous challenges with my condo complex and access. But she overcame them with no problems. She also kept me informed about everything with my dog. Cant say enough good about her. I highly recommend Jewel.
