Dog Walking Whitfield

About: I volunteered at the Humane Society and have experience caring for animals in my own home. I have also helped lost and stray animals by reuniting them with their owners or finding them loving new homes. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Its a blessing to have a soft heart for animals since a little girl My availability is very open & flexible as i am currently doing online school studying Int Arch with a passion to love and provide a safe space for all pets. I am part of the worship team therefore unavailable on, Sunday 9AM-3PM, Tuesday & Thursdays 7-11PM. I provide personalized care based on each pet's individual needs and routine. My priority is making sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will keep your pet fed, provide fresh water, offer plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any special instructions you provide. I have two dogs with opposite personalities, so chances are your pup will find a friend they feel comfortable around! Introductions would always be done carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe- i also have an extra room available if any pet needs their own quiet space or a slow introduction. My cats are independent and enjoy sunbathing outside. Throughout the day, they come inside to eat, sleep, and play. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, your pet's comfort and safety will always come first.

“Mackenzie has been great with my Labs. They’re a handful, but she manages them well and they look forward to seeing her. Highly recommend her.”

About: I am a dedicated and dependable pet care provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals independently. I have grown up around pets my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, rats, fish, and turtles. This diverse background has given me strong instincts, adaptability, and a deep understanding of individual animal needs. I currently own a cat who is a cherished companion, and caring for her has reinforced my commitment to providing patient, attentive, and high-quality care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone else’s beloved animals. My goal is to ensure that every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved, whether through daily care, companionship, feeding, or maintaining routines. I take pride in being reliable, gentle, and attentive, and I am passionate about helping pet owners feel confident and at ease while they are away. I work as a server, so my schedule can vary from week to week; however, I typically work evening shifts from around 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This makes me most available for pet care during morning and early afternoon hours (approximately 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM), which works well for daily visits, walks, and check-ins. I am happy to accommodate overnight pet sitting, and I always communicate my work schedule in advance to ensure it aligns with both the pet’s routine and the owner’s expectations. Clear communication is a priority for me, and I strive to make sure every pet receives consistent, reliable care while their owner is away. I understand that every pet and owner has unique needs, routines, and expectations. I am committed to working closely with pet parents to ensure all care requirements are met, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and daily routines. Whether a pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more flexible, relaxed routine, I am happy to accommodate what works best for both the pet and the owner. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care while making the experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible for everyone involved.

About: Working Wonders K9 officially began in 2024 but its roots run deep into the heart and the history of Kenna the owner. Throughout her childhood, she trained her pet dogs in obedience and could often be found learning agility and tricks with them side-by-side! As an adult, this passion lead her to train her rescue dog, Luna, as a service dog after developing an autonomic nervous system dysfunction that took away her safety and freedom. Under the guidance of a service dog trainer, she began learning the basics of training a working dog and found a calling. After apprenticing with a training company and spending much of her free time researching dog body language, training methods and training techniques, she opened Working Wonders K9 with the goal of making service dogs accessible to disabled individuals and helping pet parents train and build a strong relationship with their dogs. She offers knowledgeable pet care as well as training and support in obedience and behavior modification. I currently am attending school full time and have my own dog training business where I help clients train their pets in obedience and provide solutions to problem behaviors. During the day I have plenty of time to devote to pet care and making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve! I offer knowledgeable and experienced pet care in the clients home. I have a background in veterinary care and dog training and have devoted many hours to understanding dog’s body language in order to care for them better. I provide on leash walking and oversight in homes and backyards to make sure each pet is taken care of and gets the love and attention they need!

“MARIE! is the best. I stand by my last review. I trust Marie with my babies and she is so good with them. I'm using her name (Marie) so much because I messed up her name on my last review (as we've learned bc I cannot mutlitask.)”

About: I live 5 min from the airport. My family and I have always been animal lovers, and I grew up surrounded by animal love. I've always lived with pets, both dogs and cats, and therefore understand their needs and how to make them feel at home. During my care, I provide constant updates on your pet's status and keep up with changes in mood or behavior. I'm a very active and fit person, ready to play nonstop or go for long walks. I love to take care of all kind of pets. Weekend will be the best moment to get animal love in my life and also help people to have the best care experience for their pets. I have a medium size house with a fenced back yard perfect for pets to run and play. My family and I love to care animals so love will be given all the time and your friend will always be treated with the best conditions.

About: I offer reliable feeding, walks, and companionship, treating every pet with patience and care while respecting routines, instructions, and your home. I watch for changes in behavior and prioritize comfort, trust, and a low-stress environment. I currently work downtown Sarasota and spend much of my day walking and moving between locations. This makes pet walks and drop-ins a natural part of my routine, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care and exercise for your pet. I follow your pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm environment while you’re away. I respect your home, clean up after your pet, and follow any special instructions you provide. I also monitor behavior and wellbeing, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and safe.

“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.”

About: I am patient, dependable, and genuinely love working with dogs. I’ve volunteered many times at an animal shelter caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors dogs. I’ve also spend years walking and caring for my own dogs as well as dogs for my family and friends. I provide safe, great communication, and photo updates so you feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally in my routine. As a college student with a part time job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, holidays, and even early mornings or late evenings. I’m very active, so dog walks are something I genuinely enjoy. I have reliable transportation, accept both regular and one time bookings, and can often accommodate same day request. Whether it’s a long walk, a rainy day, or extra playtime, I’m happy to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as my own. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (with food), and any special instructions. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and everything is secure. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Thoughtful, personalized pet care for owners who want more than just a sitter. I provide a calm, attentive experience—with the added benefit of gentle, structured socialization for pets who enjoy canine companionship. Please note: Because I travel with my own two well-trained dogs, I only accept house sits where they are welcome. For social dogs, this is an added bonus, providing companionship, play, and a calm pack-like presence while you're away. If you're looking for more than just a sitter—someone who will truly engage, enrich, and nurture your pet while you're away—I'm here for you and your furry friend! I offer a unique pet sitting experience that goes beyond basic care. My friendly, well-mannered dogs often join me during house sits, providing safe, structured socialization and companionship for pets who thrive with other dogs. This can be especially beneficial for dogs who enjoy play, gain confidence from canine companionship, or simply feel more at ease with a calm social environment. I'm very intentional about energy, boundaries, and compatibility. My dogs are mature, well-socialized, and gentle, and I carefully assess each situation to ensure it's a positive, stress-free experience for everyone. Because of this, I only accept bookings where homeowners are comfortable welcoming my dogs into their home as well. What you can expect: • Thoughtful, attentive care tailored to your pet's personality • Enrichment through play, presence, and connection • Safe, structured canine companionship for social pups • A calm, grounded environment (never chaotic or overstimulating) • Regular picture and video updates so you feel at ease while you're away • And a CLEAN HOUSE when you come home! Because who wants chores after a vacation? 😊 My approach is rooted in respect—for your pet's unique temperament, your home, and your peace of mind. I keep my schedule intentionally limited during house sits so I can be fully present and provide a higher level of care, consistency, and connection. My background in animal care spans more than two decades, including hands-on experience working at a zoo and a children's museum, where I cared for animals of all sizes and temperaments. Over the years, I've developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps pets feel safe, understood, and genuinely at ease. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit. 🤍 I work from home on the weekdays, so I spend most of my time with the pets I stay with. Usually I'm up early, I enjoy a morning and afternoon walk, and a chill evening at home. I'm available for drop ins and dog walks any day of the week. Ask me about discounted visits when you refer a neighbor! I like taking the time for pets to know and feel completely comfortable around me. I use their treats, toys, and praise to build trust, and calm presence to meet shy pets. My approach with positive reinforcement training is to let animals know that I am listening to them, and give them opportunities to let me know what they are needing.
