Dog Walking in Sarasota

The City That Deserves a Walker With Real Credentials

Sarasota is a city that takes quality seriously — the arts, the food, the waterfront. It makes sense that its dog owners expect the same from their pet care. T&TK9 LLC was built to meet that standard. Thom Ellis served as a working dog handler in the U.S. Army and as a TSA bomb-detection K9 handler before bringing his expertise to Sarasota's neighborhoods. He walks routes from downtown Sarasota to Bee Ridge to the bayfront corridors — and every dog he handles gets professional-grade attention, not casual care. Fully insured, locally owned, and genuinely experienced.

Every Service Your Sarasota Dog Needs

T&TK9 LLC offers dog walking in three lengths (20, 40, and 60 minutes), drop-in visits for feeding and care while you're away, reliable pet taxi to Sarasota vets and groomers, and personalized dog training by appointment. All services are delivered directly by Thom Ellis — a handler whose career spans Ringling Circus, the military, and federal law enforcement. From the Rosemary District to Southgate, we come to you.

Sarasota Dog Owners Choose Experience Over Convenience

It's easy to find someone willing to walk your dog. It's harder to find someone who actually knows what they're doing when a dog is reactive, anxious, or in a heat-stress situation. Thom's 40+ years of animal handling experience means he has seen and managed every kind of dog in every kind of condition. Sarasota families choose T&TK9 because they want someone who takes the responsibility seriously — not someone who loves dogs as a hobby.
