Check out this cute video of our girl Maggie and one of her dog walker besties, Lina, on a fun-filled typical day! 💚
Small but mighty Maggie has a ton of energy and loves to play fetch 🎾, go for sniffaris (walks with lots of sniffing) along the ocean 🌴, play tug-of-war, and then top it all off with yummy cuddles! Seeing her is the highlight of many of our walkers days. 💚🥹
We have the best time with our doggie friends during our dog walking and enrichment sessions! 🥰 Please reach out to us if you’d like to get your own pup’s exercise and walking routine started with our awesome, loving dog walkers: 305-794-3733, [email protected], or reach out via the link in our bio. 🐾🐾

Join us for one of our favorite dog walks of the day- walking beautiful Hazel! 💚 She’s a Boston Terrier with tons of energy and she loves to cuddle (our favorite). 🥰
We start off with a happy greeting and we get her pretty pink harness on her. 💗 Then we make sure she gets her exercise, enriching sniffing, and belly rubs. She loves grass baths when it’s sunny, too. ☀️ We give her fresh water and her treat after for being the best girl. 🥹

Pssst… Your dog may be friendly, but the dog you are approaching while out on walks may be shy, fearful, not friendly to dogs, or in training.
It’s a little too common for people to see us walking a dog in their neighborhood and ✨insist✨on bringing their own dog over to make friends. Not demure. 😩
We will avoid you- please don’t take it personally! We avoid ALL encounters with strange, unknown dogs if possible. Not every dog wants to socialize with other dogs. And we walk shy dogs and dogs who really don’t like other dogs. On-leash encounters can be pretty stressful and fraught. We’re here to take care of our clients’ dogs and keep them safe on walks- and that keeps your dog safe, as well.
Our dog walkers stay alert for and away from off-leash dogs running at us, or unknown dogs straining to greet our clients’ pups while on leash. You’ll only hear us say scram (as politely as possible) if you keep walking towards us insisting your dog is nice and everyone loves him, or trying to follow us when we walk away from you. (Please don’t do that.)
An ounce of prevention is with a pound of cure. #scram 🙈 #miamidogwalkers #respectourspace #coralgables #coconutgrove #palmettobay #pinecrest #pleasebemindful #demure
Please help us welcome Maggie to the Equipaws family! She’s sooo cute and wrote up her own bio. 🥹
“Hello there! I’m Maggie! I’m a sweet, playful, energetic, cute, and sassy poodle. My favorite thing in the world is to play fetch and I can guarantee you l’ll never ever get tired! My walkers match my energy level, so l always give them extra kisses and cuddles. I love also love belly rubs and feeling spoiled! 🥰 Not to mention I consider myself a chic and fashionable poodle! I always have the cutest hair accessories. 💁🏾♀️ You can find me reading Vogue and watching my favorite movie: The Devil Wears Prada, when I’m not walking with Lina, Beth, or Cesar! 💚”
We love our time with this little beauty. So grateful we get to walk and care for her! #miamidogs #miamidogwalkers #equipawspetservices #coconutgrove #coralgables #bestjobever
Ever wondered what a morning pet-sitting visit looks like? 🐾 ☀️🐾 Join Cori and Lina as they care for Wesley the kitty and Bobo, our fluffy golden retriever friend! This adorable duo always brightens our day—Bobo is the sweetest, and Wesley is just too handsome! 😻
Thanks to mild weather, Bobo enjoyed a game of catch and a light jog with Cori, working up an appetite for breakfast. 🍳 We used a slow feeder for Bobo to make sure he enjoys his meal safely. 💚 Wesley got his breakfast and plenty of cuddles too! Of course, we always wash the bowls—just like us, pets deserve clean dishes every time. 🧼 (Also- Wesley sometimes joins Bobo on his walks. Too cute! 🐈⬛ 🥰)
Cuddles are the perfect way to end each visit! We’re lucky enough to see Bobo and Wesley three times a day when their parents are on vacation, and sometimes we even get to have sleepovers with him—it’s pure heaven, and it keeps Bobo comfortable with a regular potty schedule and the regular company he’s used to. ☀️💚

Equipaws Kitty Spotlight: Chloe!
All of our team members have the cutest pets, and we just had to share Chloe, our office coordinator Alex’s awesome kitty- especially when she showed us how much Chloe loves cat TV on YouTube. 😻
Alex says, “She gets obsessed with things and ever since I started playing cat tv for her she sits on that piece of furniture and looks at me, looks at the tv, then back at me and so on and so forth until I turn it on for her. 🤣”
More about Chloe:
Adopted by pet parent Alex (our amazing office coordinator) when she was just 2 months old, Chloe is a true momma’s girl at heart. ♥️ This little huntress is equal parts sassy and playful. When she’s not practicing her stealthy moves, she can be found loafing on her heating pad on the couch. She is very vocal and loves to cuddle as well. She loves being brushed and will purr up a storm! Don’t get too close to mom though, this little lady can be quite possessive and territorial too. 😤
Don’t you just love her beautiful little eyes?! 🥹 Who else puts cat TV on for their kitties? 💚🥰.

❗️𝐍𝐨𝐰’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 🇺🇸❗️💥 July 4th and 5th are some of the busiest days in animal shelters and vet clinics. 💔 The fireworks stress dogs out and make pets more likely to bolt in fear. 😔 Please follow these tips to keep them safe this Independence Day!
* Check your dog’s collar for ID tags, ensure they’re microchipped, & make sure your dog’s collars and harnesses fit well.
* Secure your yard (close any holes) and your gates before going out to the backyard
* Supervise your dogs and keep them on a leash AT ALL times when you’re outdoors or in the backyard.
* Please don’t take your dogs to fireworks displays if they’re afraid of them.
* Miamians set off fireworks early, so exercise your dogs more intensely early in the day.
* Don’t walk dogs during fireworks- take them to their backyard for a quick potty/poop break then back in.
* Bring in your outdoor cats
* Create a safe space for your dogs and cats to retire to with treats, Kongs, and toys
* Turn on the TV, radio, or Alexa to help drown out the loud fireworks, and close your curtains when you notice fireworks
* If your pet is scared of noises, now‘s the time to talk to your vet about medications. Rescue Remedy and CBD Oil work for some, but vets can provide something stronger if needed.
* Stay with them instead of going out. Your presence and tons of cuddles will help more than you know. 💚
What else do you do to help your pets during the more intense parts of fireworks?

𝐏𝐒𝐀: Don’t let your dogs out alone into your backyard. 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑. 𝐁𝐮𝐟𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. 🐸
If there’s one thing we want to stress to you during Miami’s rainy season, it’s to NEVER leave your dogs alone in your backyard. 🥺
This toad was literally hopping around the yard in broad daylight. All it takes is your dog picking the toad up because they think they found a fun toy or who is just exploring with his mouth, and you have a life-threatening issue due to the toxins these toads secrete from parotid glands on either side of their eyes.
The convenience of leaving your dogs alone in the yard while you have breakfast or get ready for work is NOT worth it. Being on your phone and not paying attention is also a no-no. 🙅🏽♀️
These are some signs of Bufo toad poisoning:
“Within minutes of licking or ingesting a toad, drooling and frothing at the mouth occur. The gums may become very red and signs of pain, including pawing at the mouth or vocalizing, may be seen. Vomiting and diarrhea are common.”
If your dog bites down on a Bufo toad, wipe their mouths out with fresh moistened towels for at least 15 minutes to wipe out any of the toxin—rub the gums, teeth, tongue, cheeks, and replace the towels or moistened paper towels after every wipe. And get on the phone with your veterinarian while you do it so you can get them seen asap.
If you find a toad and you can’t grab it the way Frankie did, you can always call a toad-removal company like @bufobusters to help you out.
We’ll be sharing ways to toad-proof your yard in the coming days. You can also read our blog post in our linktree for more info on Bufo toads and how to deter them from your yard. For humans—don’t lick the toads and you’ll be fine. Just wash your hands very thoroughly after handling.
