Dog Walking Sun City

About: I bring over 15 years of professional caregiving experience as a nurse, along with hands-on experience in pet sitting, professional dog walking, and veterinary support. Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, senior pets, and animals with medical needs. My medical background allows me to confidently administer medications (oral, topical, and injections when needed), monitor for health changes, and respond calmly in emergencies. I am currently available weekdays and weekends. I’m available from 6 AM to 6 PM. I am available for both drop in visits and walks. As a caregiver by profession, safety, reliability, and compassion are my top priorities. Pet parents can feel confident knowing their animals are in the hands of someone with medical training and a lifelong love for animals.

About: I’ve had a dog(s) since the day I was born. I am super comfortable with taking care of any size or breed of dog as they are a man’s best friend and I will try to make them feel like they are my own! I work from home full time during the week. So I’m able to take care of your pets needs throughout the day if needed My pup is a free roamer in the house and is allowed on the couches and beds, your pet(s) would be able to do the same as they are in paradise over here!

About: I have been a pet owner for over 20 years. I understand that our pets are our family. I go above and beyond so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. What a typical day looks like: Morning (7 AM - 11 AM): Brisk morning walks to kickstart the day, followed by refreshing water refills and a quick paw wipe-down. Mid-Day (11 AM - 3 PM): Perfect for high-energy pups! I offer lunch-break potty visits, structured neighborhood walks, and backyard playtime. Late Afternoon/Evening (3 PM - 7 PM): Winding down the day with a steady evening walk, light socialization, and plenty of belly rubs before dinner.Flexible WFH Gaps: Because I work from home, I can easily adapt my schedule to match your dog's exact routine and medication needs. The Home Environment: We live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with very low traffic, making it ideal for stress-free, safe neighborhood walks. Outdoor Space: Our property features a dedicated yard perfect for secure, supervised outdoor playtime, sniffing, and leg stretching. Resident Pets: I have one sweet, elderly dog who loves to sleep and keeps entirely to themselves. Because of their senior status, I ensure all pet introductions are slow, controlled, and respectful of everyone's boundaries. Crate-Friendly House: We are a fully crate-friendly home. If your dog prefers or requires a crate for sleeping, feeding, or downtime, I can easily accommodate their routine to keep them feeling secure. Safety First: Your dog's well-being is my top priority. I never leave visiting pets unattended outdoors, and I maintain 100% focus on your pup during our entire time together.

Laura G.

“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: Reliable, active, and attentive pet caregiver who understands that every dog deserves patience, exercise, consistency, and personalized care. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I'm currently a full-time college student, with most of my coursework completed online and only one in-person class at 8:00 a.m. This gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. 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. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special preferences your pet may have.

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.

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 taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I have grown up around dogs and a few cats my whole life, and I truly love helping others take care of their furry best friends too! I am going into my freshman year of college locally this Fall 2026 and I would love to be able to work around my class schedule and my schedule with my sales job. I make sure pets have everything they need including their food, water, and whatever else their owners need me to give them. I take dogs outside for either a 10-15 minute walk a few times a day or, if you have a backyard, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard. I give both dogs and cats lots of pets and attention during my time with them and make sure I leave the house clean of anything the pets have done while the owners weren’t home. I make sure all the doors leading into the house are securely locked before leaving and make sure that nothing harmful to the pets is left within their reach.

About: Busy work schedule? Pets alone during the day? Let me help! Caring and responsible dog lover/owner with 10 years of experience. I have taken care of many breeds and sizes. Responsibilities have included; walking, bathing, feeding, and general routine care. Available weekdays 8 A.M.-6 P.M. serving the Apollo beach area. Rates can be negotiated based on distance traveled and services requested. Your pets will be well taken care of when I watch them. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, I can also be available anytime you need, I will be around at all times of the day. I will make sure your pet has everything they need and make sure they are comfortable in your home and comfortable with me as well.

About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.

“Our dog loves Tristran. He is always on time and give us feedback when he stays with him. He is also great for a walk if we are going to be away from the house for a long period.”

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.

“Amanda and her husband were amazing!!! I was very nervous about Rover and having people that I didn't know come into my home, however, everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommend her and will be using them again in the near future.”
