Dog Walkers in Astor Farms, FL

About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs.

About: Hi, my name is Noelle and I’m a paramedic and dog trainer-in-training who loves dogs and cats! I have a total of 14 years of experience caring for dogs, both my own and other people’s. In my time dog sitting I have worked with a variety of dogs from puppy to senior, low energy to high energy, special needs, and everything in between. I’ve had three dogs so far over the course of my life. I had one childhood dog from 9 months of age until she passed at 13. My other childhood dog had Cushing’s syndrome at the end of his life so I became accustomed to all those special needs. Nowadays I am solely responsible for my fur child, Jack, who is a rescue that I’ve trained and nurtured from a skinny and skittish stray to a confident and loving companion. The little man also has medical needs and quirks of his own. Jack is the light of my life and I take a tremendous amount of pride in the care and love I provide him. Whether canine or feline, I will love and care for your furry bestie just like my own! I am in between jobs at the moment and am grabbing at spare cash everywhere I can in this time that I don’t have a steady income, so my schedule is wide open! As I learn to train dogs, my primary goal is to build a positive relationship with your furry bestie so that they feel safe and cared for. Some safety guidelines I follow strictly include always leashing when off your property, not allowing your dog to meet other dogs unless given express permission ahead of time by you for your dog to meet a specific dog, and following any routines set by you so that your dog has a seamless transition. If you have any training you are working on with your dog, I am more than happy to help out with that. I follow a balanced training model that incorporates positive reinforcement first and foremost and then fair and minimally aversive corrections on an as needed basis. Corrections are tailored to the dog’s specific style of learning and I closely monitor feedback and body language to ensure that the dog is understanding what I’m communicating without enduring undue stress, and afterwards I direct the dog to the behavior I want and reward when they display it. When teaching humans, we teach them what to do as well as what not to do, so I do the same with dogs. If I find anything that happens to work for your dog and what you’re working on, I will communicate it to you so you can employ those methods yourself. Upon request, I would be happy to meet with you either in person or virtually to further demonstrate any techniques for no extra charge, as I find the experience as well as helping you foster a positive relationship with your dog infinitely valuable.

“We booked Evelyn thru Rover as 1st time users and we’re so pleased! She was great w BLU (& he loved her!) and wanted to learn all about him! We set up times for her to walk him and she was always there on the dot! Rebooking with Evelyn is in BLU’s future!”

About: Hello! I’ve lived with and taken care of pets since I was a little kid. I currently have two orange boy cats that I take care of, and some weekends I will volunteer at the animal shelter. I am definitely free most evenings and weekend as well. On week days my work schedule is pretty flexible so I can make most days work. I take everything very seriously when watching pets and taking care of them. I hope to provide a safe and caring environment and demeanor for pets

About: I grew up around family pets and love them a lot. I have had cats for about 10 years now and even fostered some from the shelter. And I have helped take care of family and friends dogs, including walking some around my neighborhood. I am also Red Cross certified in dog and cat first aid. I just graduated college and work part time, so I have a very flexible schedule and am able to check in or walk dogs as needed. This also gives me a sense of purpose within my days I will treat your pets as my own! I am able to take care of your pets (cats and dogs) as they need it. I can walk dogs, give them food and water, play, cuddle, and anything else they might need while you are gone.

“Zoe did a great job at walking Nora twice a day and sent photo updates each time. She was available at short notice and everything worked out great. Would hire her again.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals. I have two pets of my own and can assure yours will have a loving and caring environment when I’m watching them. I work from home so I am able to provide 24/7 care for your pet! I am also able to take my work with me if needed. While caring for pets at my home, I ensure they have an environment that makes them feel safe and loved. If I’m needed at your home, I do my best to make sure they have everything they need and provide as much interaction as possible.

About: From middle school hallways to tail-wagging walkways. I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats like they’re my own. What started as a favor for friends is now a passion I’ve turned into purpose. I’m here to make ends meet the joyful way one paw, purr, and happy tail at a time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins. Whether it’s early morning strolls, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddle sessions, I plan my schedule around the pets I care for. Their needs come first, and I always make sure they get consistent love, attention, and routine. I grew up in a animal-loving family and have a dog of my own. Animals have always been there for me emotionally, so I care for every pet like family with love, patience, and attention to their needs, whether in my home or yours.

“Taylor is amazing!! The type of care that you look for. Truly an angel!”

“I had a fantastic experience with Faviana! She was very sweet, punctual, and went above and beyond by walking my dog a bit longer when I was running late. She took my pup to the park, sent adorable pictures, and made the whole experience stress free and great. I’d highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes. I was a dog owner for 4 wonderful dogs for several years Baloo, Tiger, Dolly and Sane. We are a couple working from home and are avid dog lovers. We love to play and walk with our furry friend and play with them. We have a big space inside and a yard for your dog and we walk and run a lot which also helps your dogs energy levels.

“Meghan was great! She was able to accommodate my last minute request and was very punctual. She also sent updates and photos of my puppy which helped calm my nerves. I highly recommend her for your fur babies☺️”

“Vanessa is amazing! Both my dogs absolutely love her and she is so responsive and caring with them. After their 1st daycare day with her the next day we started driving into the neighborhood and they got so excited because they knew they were going to see her. I’ll refer her to anyone who needs a dog sitter/walker.”

About: I’ve had guinea pigs, ducks, and parakeets. Most importantly I had a dog for 12 years that i had to put down in December of 2024, due to her having tumors and being old. I miss having a little companion and I can’t wait to give my love to many more! I work at tropical smoothie cafe. The days that i usually work are Friday’s, Saturday’s, and Sunday’s. But recently i told my manager that since it’s summer, i can work when she needs me to. So if you ever need me to pet sit, just let me know what days and what time and I can fit around that! Whatever habits you have for your animals, i will gladly follow! I love animals so i will definitely give them a lot of love and spoil them when i can!

About: I had the joy of growing up with a dog from childhood through college and also caring for birds. I’ve always loved seeing animals feel safe, cozy, and free to play. Every pet has their own personality, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes them light up. It’s a joy to offer this service not just to care for animals, but to serve people by giving their pets the love and attention they deserve while they’re away. I'm a freelancer with a flexible schedule, so I'm home often and available for frequent walks or check-ins. I live near parks and dog parks and love exploring safe, fun spots where pets can play and enjoy fresh air. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’d love to include your pup in my daily rhythm while caring for them. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I live in a quiet, pet-friendly area where many neighbors walk their dogs. I’m near a couple of lakes and peaceful paths, perfect for safe, leashed walks. Even if a dog is well-trained, I prefer to keep them on a leash to ensure their safety. My goal is always to create a calm, trusting environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I hope your pet friend will feel at home!

About: I’m a huge dog lover and I have been watching dogs since I can remember. They bring me joy and comfort, friends and and family always call on me to watch their furry babies. I’m currently just doing do sittings so I am free and at home full time and available on weekends. I can help care for your babies all through out the days. I live in a pet friendly neighborhood with plenty of yard space for them to go outside, go potty, walk for a few. I like to keep them on their same schedule from home so things aren’t to different for them.

About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.
