Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you’re not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Maria took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away, walking them and giving them all the love and attention they needed. She did such an amazing job that I think my dogs might not want to come home next time. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. Thank you for going above and beyond!! I will definitely be coming back! :-)

Both my dogs enjoyed being with her so much! Her dog, Zuzu, got along with them very well. She was definitely a good dog mom for the weekend to them!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Come on out to Jingle Paws Jubilee and sing all the carols you want. The event is held at Phillippi Estate Park, and is ready to entertain you with holiday costume contests, photos with Santa, holiday music, vendors, raffle prizes and more!

Dog-a-Ween Pet Festival
So, we’ve all played dress up at some point in our lives, but how fun is it to dress up your dog as a cute little pumpkin, or hot dog, or even…a CAT! Well, you now have a chance to win prizes for playing dress up with your pup! Just stop by Dog-a-ween to be a part of the pet costume parade, and enter for a chance to win some cash prizes. This event is hosted at the Sarasota’s Farmer’s Market, and treats will be around for both you and your dog…err ‘cat’.

Canine Christmas
Christmas - a time to spoil all your loved ones, keep your dog away from the tree, and your kids away from the gifts. Canine Christmas is an annual event meant to celebrate family time, let you pick up some unique gifts, try local food, and put your pet in the Doggie Fashion show. Yup, you read that right! You can check out Canine Christmas for these fun daytime activities, and even get a family photo with Santa ( maybe keep the doggie clothing on your pup, especially if they're looked dashing). This event is presented by Bishop Animal Shelter, and will even have a parade of adoptable doggies if you want to expand your fam-jam.
Sarasota Walkathon
Next time you ask your dog, “Wanna go for a walk?” tell them it’ll be a long one, and come over to Payne Park for the Doggie Walkathon! With over 38-acres to play, your dog won’t want to go home after the race! This event is hosted by the Southeastern Guide Dogs, and offers music, local vendors, the Southeastern Guide Dogs Gift shop, and more! It’s only a 3k walk, so we're sure your dog will love it! You, on the other hand, might want to start working out now to keep up with your four-legged friend!
