“Sofia is wonderful. She takes great care of my puppy, Misa, who is not only a ball of energy, but also special needs, as she recently had major surgery. Sofia also stays impressively in-contact with me - she always answers my texts and emails right away. On top of that, Sofia has also been extremely flexible and understanding when I've had to make last minute reservation changes due to my ever-changing work schedule. Sofia always lets me know when she's on her way to see Misa and when she's with her. She also sends me both videos and photos of her walks and playtime with Misa, which is the highlight of my day. I trust Sofia implicitly and recommend her to anyone who wants a reliable, caring, and easy-going caretaker for their pet.”

My experience with walking dogs has been with both very active dogs and more leisurely dogs as well. I am a very active person so I just enjoy being outside and being around the dog whether it is walking slowly or going at a faster pace. I will walk up to 2 dogs at time because I want to make sure I can give enough attention to each dog while I am walking them.

The dog(s) and I can go for active or leisurely walks depending on the pet's needs. I can easily work with owners of more than one, though the maximum is three!

My service is available primarily for the waterfront Margaret Pace dog park (near Publix). Depending on availability, I do except clients in Downtown Miami as a whole, including the neighborhoods Brickell, and Midtown.

I have a small sized (5lbs) male long hair Chihuahua named Picachu who is very sweet and playful. I will give your dog the same love and care I give mine. I walk him twice a day and make sure he is fed twice a day as well. We go to the park apart from the daily walks so he can play with other dogs :)
I have a dog pen (not a crate) in case you feel more comfortable giving your dog his own space, I never leave him/her unattended or secluded. It is important for me that your pet is safe and happy while in my care. I will be in touch with you throughout your pets stay and even provide you with pictures if you'd like :)
I also have experience with special needs dogs and I provide additional services such as pick up / drop off, bath upon arrival / departure.
I will limit boarding to 2 small dogs max and daycare to 1-2 small dogs depending if I have a guest for boarding as well. This is to avoid overcrowding which can overwhelm your pet.

I adapt my walk to your dogs needs.

Have an active pup? I'm a certified personal trainer and indoor cycling instructor, so I can run your pup for as long as they want or take long, fast-paced walks.

Have an older or more relaxed pup? We can take a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood at the right pace for him/her.

I'm comfortable walking up to 3 dogs at a time.

I am an avid bike rider and bike around Brickell, Coconut Grove and the Downtown Area every day. I know the area very well and know where all the parks and walking areas are. There are three places in particular that I would take the dogs to: Miami Circle, Brickell Key and the walk along the bay. Please make sure to have balls/toys available for us to play with!

NOTE! Please be advised that the Standard Daycare Rate of $35. per day is for 4-8 hours of care. If the daycare is more than 8 hrs., the fee will be an additional $4.25 per hr. Thank You.

**My Condo has strict dog rules (e.g., must carry your dog once you have left your apartment). Therefore, I can only sit for one dog that is 8 lbs or less or two dogs 5 lbs or less. This enables me to carry my own dog as well as yours once I leave my apartment. There are cameras EVERYWHERE and I must abide by this rule. Although I do accept puppies in my profile, I do ask that they be potty trained and at least 7 months. Thanks for your understanding regarding my Condo's strict rules.

I really enjoy a nice stroll with the dogs. I have done both solo walks and multiple dogs just depending on the owners preference. Leisure walks are what I mostly do but I can definitely pick up the pace and do a more active walk if you'd like. I have been doing this for a while now and have a lot of experience. If you'd like a meet and greet ahead of time I can come to you and you show me the routine and what exactly you expect.

I live very close to Brickell Key. I love to go for walks in the Brickell and Downtown area. I sometimes take loops around Brickell Key, which is very dog friendly. There are many dog parks and amenities for dogs here in the area. I can walk 2 dogs at a time, if needed. I can walk or jog with dogs, if requested. I am an active individual that loves the company of dogs.

Active walks with maximum 2 dogs (or 3 if they belong to same owner). I am very responsible and follow the owner's recommendation/wishes, am very playful with pets, provide a lot of love and care, am very patient and treat them as if they were my own.

I don't mind taking him/her on a run with me, I enjoy running/jogging! We could also go on a leisurely walk and enjoy some Miami scenery. Unless you have more then one cutie then he/she will be walked alone. You can tell me where he/she is normally walked and any other normal occurrences so that they feel right at home with me :)

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Miami

  1. Look for a dog walker who has passed a background check.
  2. Ask a DogVacay dog walker for a free Meet-n-Greet. Take your pet for a short stroll in Miami, letting the dog walker hold the leash. You’ll know quickly if this is the right person for your pet.
  3. Then visit your home with the dog walker, so your pet becomes comfortable with this person in the dog’s territory.
  4. Make plans for letting the DogVacay dog walker into your home. Some people may feel comfortable providing a key. Others keep a key in a combination lockbox. Many people use smart locks and programmable key codes.
  5. Discuss the length and route of the walk in your neighborhood in Miami. Cover what kind of updates you want (such as a “bathroom” log or behavior notes).
  6. Explain what your treat policy is after a walk. Keep treats safely stored, and let the dog walker know where to find them.
  7. Make sure your pet has the right harnesses, collars, leashes and equipment for a safe and fun walk.
