About Vanda
A dog lover who turned her passion into a real business
Vanda started I'll Walk Your Dogs on Long Island over 14 years ago — not as a side hustle, but as a real local service business built on trust, reliability, and a genuine love for dogs. That business grew, thrived, and earned a reputation that followed her south.
When she moved to Florida, she didn't hesitate. She reopened in Nokomis a few years ago and picked up right where she left off — meeting neighbors, learning their dogs, and building the kind of relationships that make this more than just a job.
Vanda specializes in small and senior dogs — the ones that need a slower pace, a gentler hand, and someone who actually notices how they're doing. No apps, no strangers, no surprises. Just consistent, caring walks from someone who lives right here in your community.
More About Vanda →Small & Senior Dogs

Truly Local
Vanda lives and walks right here in Nokomis. She knows the shady routes, the quiet streets, and the patches dogs love.
