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.

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: 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.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, always at least 3 at a time and all sizes and shapes. What else to say… I just love dogs. 😊 I’m working nighttime and ready to take care of your pet every day after 9 am. I can come morning and/or afternoon, once or twice a day. I will come and look around first to make sure it’s clean and I will check the water and the food. Then I will take your pet or a walk and play a bite with his own toys and I’ll have some with me.

Ellen is great! Super conscience and thoughtful- she comes prepared with her own poop bags, a portable water bowl and bottled water for a break for the pups in this FL heat. Much appreciated. Ellen filled in while our regular walker was unavailable this past week and both my labs loved her and enjoyed their morning walks with her. I will definitely reach out to her again if I need a walker and highly recommend her to anyone.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and experienced pet lover who has been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog has their own routine and personality, so I always take the time to learn what works best for them. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, lots of attention, or a calm and relaxed environment, I’m happy to adjust to their needs to make sure they are happy and stress-free. I also have a dog of my own—an Australian Shepherd—so I’m very comfortable handling energetic dogs and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating them like part of the family. I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to be very flexible with scheduling. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I can often accept last-minute bookings. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow their normal routine, including walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions you provide so they feel comfortable and secure. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priority, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, care, and pictures while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits, as well as last-minute bookings when needed. Because I’m home-based, I can give pets plenty of attention, stick to their routine, and be consistent with walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m happy to work around your pet’s specific schedule to make sure they stay comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away, and I always respect your home by keeping things clean and tidy. I also provide regular photo and update messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Every pet is different, so I take the time to adjust to their personality—whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and independent.

I will be available until further notice While I cannot provide board at this time, I can come to your home, clean and take care of the house if need be. I can handle any situation

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!!
