Traitez la rencontre initiale comme une entrevue. Demandez à voir une preuve d’assurance et toute certification en premiers soins pour animaux, demandez deux références de clients que vous pouvez réellement appeler, et confirmez comment les clés sont gérées (une entente écrite sur les clés est la norme professionnelle). Observez comment le promeneur accueille votre chien — un bon promeneur se met à sa hauteur et laisse le chien s’approcher. Convenez par écrit du service exact, du tarif, de la politique d’annulation et du plan d’urgence (quel vétérinaire, qui appeler).
Florida is a strict-liability state — and its statute defines "owner" to include anyone with custody or control of the dog, so strict liability can attach to a walker or sitter.
Ces règles à l’échelle de l’État s’appliquent partout au Florida ; les règles locales qui régissent la promenade au quotidien se trouvent dans l’onglet Règlements municipaux.
Florida (Fla. Stat. § 767.04) is one of the most victim-favorable dog-bite states: an owner is strictly liable for a bite in a public place or when the victim is lawfully on private property — no prior bite and no knowledge required, and breed is no defense. Lawful presence includes mail carriers, delivery, and invited guests. Under § 767.01, strict liability also covers non-bite injuries — a dog that knocks someone down. Critically, § 767.11 defines owner as a person who possessed, harbored, kept, or had control or custody of the dog — so a walker or sitter who has the dog can be the statutory owner for strict-liability purposes.
The quirky Bad Dog sign defense (§ 767.04): a prominent, readable Bad Dog sign can bar liability on the owner's premises — but not if the victim is under 6 years old, and not where the owner's negligence contributed. It does not help on a public walk.
There is no statewide leash law — leash rules are local (for example, Miami-Dade Chapter 5 requires a leash or control off the property, and a violation is negligence per se). A dog classified dangerous (§§ 767.11–767.13) by local animal control must be kept in a secure enclosure with a dangerous-dog sign, muzzled and leashed off-property, and carry $100,000 insurance.
Florida applies modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar (HB 837 / § 768.81) — recovery is reduced by the victim's fault and barred above 50%; provocation and trespass fold in here. The personal-injury limit is two years for incidents on or after March 24, 2023 (older incidents, four years).
