Meet Danielle — owner of Walks & Wags.
Eight years of caring for Southwest Florida's pets. One person, one phone number, one standard of care.
Why I started Walks & Wags.
I'm Danielle Rowe. I've been caring for other people's pets for many years, and I started Walks & Wags because I wanted to do it the way I always wished it was done — with real communication, real consistency, and a real human you can reach.
I live and work right here in Southwest Florida. I know the neighborhoods, the gate codes that never seem to work the first time, and the difference between an afternoon thunderstorm walk and a "let's wait twenty minutes" walk.
Pets aren't a side gig for me. They're the whole point. Senior dogs, anxious rescues, demanding cats, brand-new puppies — they all get the same patience and the same attention.
When you book with Walks & Wags, you're booking me. I'm the one walking your dog, scooping your cat's litter, giving the insulin shot, and texting you the photo. That's the whole promise.
Steady, honest, and easy to work with.
You'll always know what's happening
Every visit ends with a quick photo and text update. If anything feels off, you'll hear about it the same day.
Your home stays your home
Keys, codes, and alarms are handled carefully. I leave things the way I found them — and usually a little tidier.
Your pet stays on routine
Same feeding times, same walking pace, same bedtime spot. The goal is for your pet to barely notice you're gone.
You can reach me
Call, text, or email. I answer. Even at 6 a.m. before a flight or 11 p.m. when a plan changes.
