“I treat your fur babies like my own.”
I would love to be able to help you with any dog walking needs you may have. I have had the opportunity to walk big, small, happy, nervous, shy and multiple dogs many times. We have 3 dogs in our family, a 11 year old pug, a 6 year old pittie mix and a 4 year old lab shepherd mix. It’s quite the assortment of temperaments, ages and breeds I know. You can be assured I will treat your dog like my own. I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for reading!

Alaqua Lakes is a small gated community in central Florida, just a half-hour drive north from Orlando. The winding streets are lined with well-maintained sidewalks, perfect for a little walk with your pal. There are some incredible houses in Alaqua Lakes to admire and the streets are green and well-kept, making for a very pleasant stroll.
There is a seven-acre Community Park in the centre of town, however
you will need to stick to the sidewalks with your pet and keep him on a leash
at all times. For a family day out, enjoy the picnic areas, playgrounds, sports
fields, tennis courts and basketball courts at the park.
If you are longing to take Fido out into the wilderness, there are many hiking
trails in the Wekiva River Preserve which borders Alaqua Lakes. The Sand Hill
Nature Trail showcases some of the incredible flora, especially wildflowers in spring.
There is an abundance of wildlife to spot along the way too, but some are dangerous,
such as black bears, alligators and snakes – so admire, but don’t get too close!
Keep your pup on a lead and bring your water and clean up bags. You many also
need your insect repellent when out here, as some of the area is swampy.
So relax, unwind and enjoy your time in this lovely little community. You are sure to leave refreshed, and ready for your next adventure with your furry travel buddy!
In neighboring Longwood, to
the south of Alaqua Lakes, is the Long Pond Trailhead for the The Seminole Wekiva Trail. This popular 14-mile
paved, multi-use rail trail runs from the Wekiva River Protection Area south to
Altamonte Springs. There are varied landscapes to enjoy along the way,
including woodland, light industrial areas and community parks. At Long Pond
Trailhead, there is a shaded parking area and drinking water available. There are
also benches along this section to stop for a rest or light lunch. Your dog
needs to stay leashed along the trail and remember to bring your clean up bags
and a drinking bowl for when he’s walked up a thirst.
To the east of Alaqua Lakes is Lake Mary, which has a
small Bark Park where you can let your pup off the lead for a good run. There
is some equipment in the park and the boundaries are fenced to keep your
excitable pet safe. Water is available, but bring a drinking bowl for Fido.
Once your pup has worn himself out, check out some of the nearby pet-friendly
places to eat, such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, The Original Brooklyn Water
Bagel Co. and Pappa Joe’s Pizza. Your your dog is welcome to sit by your side
at one of the outdoor tables at any of these restaurants.
Sawyer Lake Park in Heathrow, to the northeast of Alaqua Springs is a lovely community park to bring your pet for a walk and a play. Your dog will love a game of Frisbee or catch on the open grassed area, or a jog with you around the playing fields. For a little on-lead walk, take the paved walkways around the park and down to the lookout at the lake. For a fun family day out, pack a picnic and enjoy your lunch together overlooking the water. There is a great playground for the kids to enjoy, so everyone is sure to have a fantastic time here!
Directly north of Alaqua Lakes is the Markham
Woods Trail in Longwood, a popular place for a nature walk and some of the best
trails in the area. Dogs are permitted to enjoy the trails with their humans,
but need to stay leashed. Trail lengths vary from around 0.2 miles to 2.5 miles
along fairly easy terrain, and all of the trails are well signposted and maintained.
At the trailhead, there is ample parking and restrooms available, but you will
need to bring your own water and a drinking bowl for your pup. From here, you
can also explore a section of the 14-mile Seminole Wekiva Trail, another
popular multi-use rail trail that runs through this area.
Sable Point Sanctuary in Longwood is another
lovely place to bring your leashed dog out for a walk. The 3.5 mile out-and-back
walking trail follows an old logging tramway through beautiful wooded areas and
up to the Wekiva River, where you can spot all sorts of local wildlife,
including deer if you are lucky! Take the time to read some of the interpretive
signs along the trail that have a wealth of information about local flora and
fauna, as well as history of the area. The Sanctuary is free to visit and
parking is available at the trailhead. Bring your own water and clean up bags,
and insect repellent is also advised here.
