Each walk is designed to your dog's comfort and always includes fresh water and a treat after, and feeding, if necessary. Each visit includes a real time update with the status of your loved one and pictures sent via text or email. I have experience working with brand new puppies who need leash training and lots of activity to older dogs who are blind and/or deaf and need special attention and a more leisurely walk. Whatever your pet's needs are, I will cater to them!!

Depending on the dog, I can walk leisurely and let them sniff around, or I can ride my bike with them for extra activity. When I had my Pitbull, I'd let her pull me on my longboard. That wore her out really quick. For longer walks I will provide water to keep your dog hydrated.

We have a Pekingese living here so I know how hard it can be going for walks with longer fur in this hot weather. I have a large 1 acre fenced backyard with a screened lanai with doggie door access if your dog would be better suited out of the sun.

We can also go to the dog park if they like to play with other dogs.
For dogs that need more active walks I prefer one dog at a time. Smaller breeds I will walk up to 3 at once.

Hello,

Thank you for your interest. I have a seven year old greyhound. He is very calm and pleasant. It is best for us to have dogs 30 pounds and over.

We have a large fenced yard.We walk a minimum of two strolls per day. The morning walk is at least one mile. I work from home so I am with the pups almost all the time.

Nature walks, no dog parks, dogs will explore at their own pace, opportunities to swim & go out on boat if owners approve, neighborhood walks, ball & Frisbee toss, rides in car if owners approve, spend time outdoors together while we garden, swim in the pool, shoot hoops, etc.... Your pet will be a part of the family while they stay with us!

I can walk dogs around my complex. I have an enclosed tennis and basketball court here where they can run free. I also live very near Siesta Key beach. Whenever I go to beach I can take the dogs, with the owners permission of course. I can take dogs (2) at a time for leisurely or active walks .

I walk dogs leisurely and/or active. I base it off of the dog's energy level, (which has a lot to do with breed and age). As well as how much cofidence they have while walking outside.. I also can walk multiple dogs at a time. I like taking them to dog parks or open areas in the vicinity

I love walking dogs. It's peaceful, but also active and athletic. I love helping dogs get exercise and stay healthy. I believe that frequent walks are the key to a happy, healthy, long, dog life. I like to be with nature. I like spots with lots of shade and plants.

I would walk the doggy solo and would pace the walk based on the owners direction whether it's a leisurely stroll or an active walk. I would keep safety as the foremost priority of the walk. I have recently relocated from New Jersey to our second home in Siesta Key and would really enjoy taking walks outside enjoying all the aspects of the sunshine state!

Top tips for getting started with a dog walker in Sarasota

  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 Sarasota, 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 Sarasota. 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.
