a senior dog gets special treatment

Walks Tailored for Small, Senior & Special Needs Dogs

Every dog is different — and some need a little extra love. I specialize in small dogs, senior dogs, and pups with special needs here in Nokomis and North Venice. Whether your dog is shy, arthritic, blind, deaf, or just needs to take things slow, I create walks and visits designed around their comfort, pace, and joy. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and truly seen — every single visit.

Our Special Services cater to the diverse and unique needs of pets that may require additional care, attention, or expertise due to factors such as age, health conditions, or behavioral concerns. We understand that every pet is different, and our experienced pet sitters and dog walkers are dedicated to providing personalized care that goes above and beyond regular pet sitting and dog walking services.

🦮 Gentle Neighborhood Walks (30 minutes)

 

Perfect for: Small dogs or older pups who enjoy a calm, steady pace.

 

Includes:
• Personalized route based on your dog’s energy, mobility, and weather conditions
• Extra time for sniffing (a dog’s favorite form of mindfulness)
• Fresh water, paw check, and cleanup
• Text or photo update after each walk

“Slow, steady, and full of tail wags.”

🌻 Senior & Mobility-Friendly Walks

Perfect for: Older dogs or those with arthritis, hip issues, or stamina challenges.

 

Includes:
• Shaded routes and gentle terrain to protect joints
• Built-in rest breaks and soft encouragement
• Water refills and a post-walk comfort check
• Indoor companionship if a full walk isn’t ideal that day

 

“Because old dogs don’t need fast walks — they need kind ones.”

🐶 Special Care Visits

Perfect for: Dogs who are blind, deaf, tripods, or on special diets — or any dog who thrives with extra patience and understanding.

 

Includes:
• Calm, consistent handling to build trust
• Gentle touch and voice cues for visually or hearing-impaired dogs
• Slow transitions for anxious or special-needs pups
• Medication reminders or mealtime routines (as provided)
• Indoor enrichment and companionship if walking isn’t suitable

 

 

“Every dog deserves care that fits their body — and their heart.”

🏡 Comfort Visits (15–20 minutes)

Perfect for: Small dogs who prefer company, potty breaks, or short strolls over long adventures.

 

Includes:
• Quick bathroom break or backyard sniff session
• Cuddles, playtime, or a soft brush-out
• Water refresh and treat (if approved)
• Short update after every visit

 

“A friendly face and a full water bowl — that’s comfort care.”

🐾 Custom Care Plans

 

Not every dog fits a schedule — and that’s perfectly okay.
If your dog has a unique need, medication timing, or just a favorite routine, I’ll work with you to design visits that suit them best.

📍 Serving Nokomis & North Venice

From Mission Valley Estates to Laurel Road, I walk the same friendly neighborhoods your dogs already know.

 

“Local routes. Familiar scents. Happier tails.”

 

🐕🦺 Why Personalized Care Matters

Big national apps see walks as transactions — I see them as trust.
When you choose I’ll Walk Your Dogs, your pup gets the same person every time, the same calm energy, and the same loving attention. You’ll always know who’s walking your dog, how they’re doing, and what made their tail wag that day.
