Dog Walkers in The Meadows, FL

“Nevaeh was great. Extremely reliable and consistent. She helped us for a week for morning and afternoon dog walking/feeding. She has a positive personality and our dog responded very well to her. Highly recommend!”

“Emma is wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She’s punctual and responsive! While we were gone our dog had a little accident and she cleaned it up for us and made sure there was not a stain left on our new rug! We would definitely recommend Emma and plan to use her services again!”

“Sofia is fantastic to work with. She was very flexible when I arranged an initial meeting with her and she was very prompt. She was also very sweet with my dog. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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’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.

About: I have taken care of pets personally since I was 10 years old. I currently have a cat that I personally medicate daily. My experience watching pets spans from house sitting large dogs to cats. I can walk, feed, and medicate both cats and dogs. Additionally, I have volunteered at both cat and dog shelters throughout my life. I have extensive experience with animals. I make it a point to care for pets as if there owners never left making them feel comfortable and cared for. I do work full time outside of rover which requires me to be gone for working hours. On weekdays I am away no more than 8 hours and on weekends I try to be gone less than 4 hour increments. I dog sit because I love animals. Please contact me if you are okay with these restrictions. Currently I am working during the week but have availability over the weekends and Thursdays! I am flexible depending on how far the location is from my home and job! It is important to keep pets environment clean and safe, so I always make it a point to keep things tidy. I ensure that the home will look exactly like the owner has left it and that their pet is well cared for. In the event of accidents, I have no problem cleaning up the mess and bathing the animal if necessary. Please just leave instructions on how you would like the cleaning and bathing handled!

About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I’ve raised puppies—like my sweet girl River, who I had from 8 weeks old to 3 years—I’ve grown to love the rhythm and bond that comes with dogs at every stage of life. What sets me apart is a deep sense of patience, attentiveness, and love that comes from years of hands-on experience. I’m especially comfortable with routines, emotional needs, and making sure your dog feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, mellow, senior, or somewhere in between, I show up with calm energy, genuine care, and a heart full of love for every pup I meet. I currently work remote so I have the flexibility to go on walks during the afternoon, evening, early morning or whenever they need to go out! I’m currently in an house with no other pets. I have plenty of room for them to hangout and feel safe. I’ll make sure they get lots of cuddles and walks.

“Jose and Alexis are the best dog walkers I’ve had the experience working with. I’m currently recovering from surgery and they went above and beyond in taking care of Luna. They made sure she got all of her energy out so that I could recover without worrying about her getting all the exercise she needed. I will continue using Jose and Alexis for all my dog walking needs as long as they are available.”

About: I am a lover of all animals, furry, feathered & scaly. Seriously, ALL animals! I’m that lady that will stop to assist a turtle crossing the road. I’ve volunteered to rescue injured birds while at the beach, saved a green anole lizard from a hard freeze, fostered close to a dozen cats til they found their fur-ever homes, rescued a baby red-eared slider turtle the size of a quarter from the middle of the road and raised him to be happy and healthy until he was big and strong enough to be safely returned to the pond. I have no fear of animals. I truly understand and listen to them and know how to read their body language. I often understand animals better than people ☺️ I will always go out of my way for animals. I’m not talking about just wanting to stop and pet every dog or cat I see and give it hugs and kisses…I definitely do! ….but truly doing whatever I can to better their lives. I got my first cat when I was 7 years old, and since then have personally rescued and loved more than 20 kitties, and 2 dogs. I’ve owned and maintained multiple freshwater aquariums. Cared for birds, lizards and snakes. I have experience with dog and cat training, solving behavioral issues, and administering medicine whether it be a pill or injections. I have a very flexible schedule. I host music, bingo, and trivia nights a couple days a week around town. I also work as a stage hand, setting up lighting sound, and sets for concerts and events. Several times a year I work at our local Renaissance festivals. In between all of that and caring for your fur babies, I’m also an artist. I’m not able to board animals in my home unless in very specific circumstances due to the size of my space and the other animals in my home. I have four cats of my own and they’re my life and my whole world, but I will give your fur babies, the same love and attention that I give to my own.

“Alexi is awesome! She is professional, thorough and consistent with her care. She seems to really enjoy my pup. I appreciate the help and would recommend her services!”

About: 25 years of paws-on experience: Keeping your cats cozy and your dogs active—just like my own energetic Brittany! I've worked with puppies, as well as senior dogs, and love them all! Whether you need a daily power-walk or a weekend cuddler, I’ve got you covered. I currently work from home and spent time actively outdoors daily with my pup! We take morning, noon, and evening walks. Your dog can join my energetic Brittany Spaniel for a fun, socialized neighborhood adventure—great for 'social butterflies' who love to play as they walk. If your pup prefers a slower pace or one-on-one attention, I offer dedicated solo walks to ensure they get my undivided focus and care. When you hand over the leash or the keys to your home, you need absolute peace of mind. My 25 years of experience means I don't just love animals—I know how to keep them safe. From managing the unpredictable energy of puppies to ensuring a secure, stress-free environment for seniors and cats, I treat your pet's well-being as my ultimate responsibility. I don't currently have a yard, so spend a lot of time interacting with my babies outside on a leash or at my neighborhood dog parks with pups I know and trust.

About: I was born with pets in my family and love all kinds of dogs. I currently work at a pet hospital and have previous experience with several species . I recently graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelors in animal science. I love giving your furry pets the attention and love they deserve. My main focus right now is school and work which thankfully gives me early mornings and most afternoons off. This allows me to set up a play date or a good sunset run with your furry one. I treat everyone pets if they were my own. I try to provide them with slow and safe care until they feel comfortable enough in the space that they are in. If they have more of an outgoing personality then I will be more than happy to run around with them. I’ll set up plenty of time to play, run, and have fun with your pet. My schedule is always open to new cute furry Friends. I have a fenced yard that will allow your pet to run freely and receive some well deserved vitamin D to enjoy the outdoor fun.

About: Patient and compassionate caretaker of animals of all ages and sizes. Owner of 5 animals who frequently fosters, and feeds animals throughout the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area. As an Orchestral musician, my day time schedule is pretty flexible. Since my job is primarily focused on personal preparation, i can choose when I work. I don't offer services out of my house because my dogs can be a little slow to trust, but have years of experience walking and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes.

About: Hey there! I am a Rover veteran, who took a break for a couple years to start my career and human family, but I am back and so happy to be! I am a proud dog momma of a 2 Australian Shepherds. I have had cat and dogs in my life for over 20 years. My pups are always pampered and treated like family. My perfect day is spent outside walking with my pups and ending the day with couch snuggles. We are a very active household. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes. From 5-130 pounds. I also have personal experience in taking care of multiple dogs — I used to be an owner of 3 dogs on my own! I can assure you, you’re sweet pup or kitty will be treated like the prince or princess they are and get lots of love and walks! I am currently a stay at home mom to one baby girl, so I have plenty of time to provide Rover services to meet you and your fur baby’s needs. Additionally, much of my day revolves around giving my own pups all the activity and love they deserve and will be sure to give that to yours as well! Before booking a service with me, I am always happy to meet in person first and make sure I am a good match for your fur baby. If I am providing services in your home, my goal is to make your fur babies as comfortable as possible and give them as much love and attention as they deserve while their parent is away. I will happily follow your typical routine you have set for them while you are away!

About: I have a 11 year old Aussiedoodle who is full of energy, character, and bouncy. We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training. I would like to offer my time to care for dogs when their owners are away on vacation or just need someone to check in on their fur baby. When you leave your fur baby with me he or she will be in the best care and treated as if they were my own. I work remote Monday to Friday with a flexible schedule that I can rearrange or drop in your home between meetings while caring for your dog. I will text you upon arrival and text you upon departure as I am strictly in your home for your dog’s needs, play time, feeding, and walking. I will send you pictures throughout the day and/or when I drop in.

About: Hi there, I'm Emily! I’m a dog lover with experience in small and large dog breeds, seniors, and dogs with medical needs. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities. I have weekend availability and can help you enjoy your weekend day or getaway by caring for your baby on a Saturday or Sunday. I work full time during the week, but have free time on the weekends to help you care for your beloved fur babies so you can go out and enjoy your Saturday or Sunday without having to worry about them being taken care of! Your pup will be showered with love while I'm with them! I'm happy to carry out any requests for walks, crating, training, etc. - just let me know what you need!

About: I am a mother to 3 dogs and 4 cats and have taken many rescues throughout the years to care for temporarily and there's nothing more I'd rather do! I love taking care of animals and being there for them especially when they need it the most. I promise to treat and protect your fur babies just as if they were my own! I am currently working full time at a hospital which consists of 3 days a week. The rest of the week is for taking care of fur babies! I am willing to work with you on the location weather it is my house or yours I will respect all boundaries and rules that are set in place!

About: Hi! I’m Georgia and I been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a deep passion for helping both dogs and kids. While my professional path led me to work with children, as a school psychologist with Sarasota County Schools, I make it a priority to spend as much time with dogs as possible outside of work. I’ve volunteered with several animal shelters, walking dogs of all sizes (from 6-pound pups to 100-pound gentle giants) and across all life stages, from brand-new puppies to senior dogs. I also have my own mini Goldendoodle named Peach, who I have independently taken care of since I was 18 years old. As mentioned, I am a school psychologist within public schools so I have June and July off! Therefore, my schedule is wide open to care for your pups! I am flexible driving around the Sarasota area to drop-in/walk your animals at any time of day. I am also available on weekends regularly. I am committed to caring for your pup in the place they’re most comfortable- their own home and neighborhood. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including leash preferences, walking routes, routines, feeding or medication needs, and any training cues you use. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I am also very attentive to dog body language and behavior, and I tailor each walk or visit to your dog’s individual personality, energy level, and needs. Having a dog of my own, Peach, who is shy around other dogs, has made me especially mindful of reading signs of stress or discomfort, creating positive experiences even if that means going out of the way to avoid others, and advocating for a dog’s space when needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll keep you updated with notes and photos after each walk or drop-in so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long, active walks or prefers a slower pace with plenty of sniff time, I’m happy to adjust to what works best for them.
