Animal Friends Pet Care now offers dog walking in Panama City, FL — from the same local team your dog already knows from grooming, daycare, or boarding at our facility on Transmitter Road. This is not a nationwide walking app that sends whoever is nearest and available. It is a small, scheduled service run by the people who already care for your dog when you drop them off with us.

A walk includes a leashed outing sized to your dog's age and energy level, plus a bathroom break along the way. Tell us about leash manners, medical needs, or anything else that matters when you book, so the walk fits your dog specifically rather than a one-size-fits-all route.

We are starting this service deliberately small. Rather than opening it up to everyone on day one, we are keeping the number of daily walking clients limited so each dog gets a walker who actually knows them — not a stranger pulled from an app queue. Booking ahead, rather than expecting a same-day walk, is part of how we keep it that way.

How It Works

1

Call or book online

Reach out at (850) 257-5776 or through our booking page to ask about availability for your dog.

2

Tell us about your dog

Leash habits, medical needs, favorite routes, anything that helps your walk go smoothly — we take note before the first visit.

3

We schedule your walking days

Because we keep our walking roster small, we will confirm which days and times we can realistically offer rather than promising more than we can deliver.

4

Your dog gets a familiar walker

The same person from our team handles your dog's walks whenever possible, instead of a rotating cast of unfamiliar contractors.

What Owners Worry About — Answered Honestly

"I won't know if the walk actually happened."

We are a real, established local facility, not an anonymous app. Because we intentionally keep our walking client list small, our team can check in with you after a visit — and if something ever feels off, you can call us directly or stop by 2912 Transmitter Road.

"I'm not comfortable giving a stranger a key."

That hesitation makes sense. Whoever handles your dog's walk is someone already on our team at Animal Friends Pet Care — the same staff trusted with boarding and daycare — not a name assigned by an app the morning of the walk.

"I don't want a different walker every time."

We are keeping the number of walking clients small specifically so this can stay consistent. If your usual walker is ever unavailable, we will tell you who is covering ahead of time rather than surprising you at the door.

A Small Number of Walks, Done Right

We would rather run a small dog-walking service well than a large one carelessly. At launch, that means a limited number of walking slots each day and booking ahead of time rather than same-day requests — so every dog we walk gets our full attention from someone who already knows them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who actually walks my dog?

Someone on the Animal Friends Pet Care team — the same local business at 2912 Transmitter Road that already handles grooming, daycare, and boarding for families in Panama City. This is not a nationwide app that dispatches whichever contractor is nearest. We keep the number of walking clients small on purpose so your dog gets a familiar face instead of a rotating cast of strangers.

How do I know the walk actually happened?

You will hear from us. Because we intentionally keep our walking roster small, our team can give you a quick update after each visit rather than relying on an app to prove it for us. If that is ever not happening the way you expect, call us directly at (850) 257-5776 — we are a real facility you can walk into, not an anonymous contractor.

I am not comfortable giving a stranger a key to my house. How does that work here?

That is a completely fair concern, and it is exactly why we built this around our existing team rather than an outside gig platform. Whoever handles your walk is someone who already works at our Panama City facility — the same people trusted with boarding and daycare — not a name pulled from an app the morning of.

Will I get the same walker every time?

We are keeping our walking client list small at launch specifically so this can be a consistent person rather than whoever is available that day. If your regular walker is ever out, we will tell you in advance who is covering instead of leaving you to guess.

How much does dog walking cost?

Walking pricing is still being finalized. Call (850) 257-5776 or see our pricing page for current rates before you book.

What does a walk include?

A leashed walk sized to your dog's energy and age, a bathroom break, and fresh water back at home if needed. Tell us about any leash reactivity, medical needs, or quirks when you book so we can plan the route and pace around your dog specifically.

Can I get same-day or last-minute walks?

Not yet, and we would rather be upfront about that than overpromise. We are launching walking with a deliberately small number of daily slots so every walk gets real attention — that means booking a day or more ahead is the safer bet while we grow this the right way.
