Dog Walkers in Candler, FL

“Jeani has been an absolute ROCKSTAR with our new puppy. Never had any issues, went above and beyond, and even took our packages in. I will 100% reach out to her again in the future. Also, her pictures are professional quality!”

About: My favorite pastime is walking with the dogs. In your neighborhood or in mine, we can go fast or we go slow, just as long as we go! No day is complete without some wags and walks. Does your fur baby need a special day or time for a walk? We can go on a morning run, afternoon walk, or an evening stroll. I do sleepovers! Does your pup want to stay at your place or mine? Either is fine. I have extra room on my couch and a comfy bed for your fur baby to lay their head.

“Sarah was amazing with my dog while I was away for a few days. She was extremely prompt on her timing and gave detailed reports on how my dog was doing after every visit. Sarah went above and beyond to go through all the details of feeding/schedule and my dogs likes and dislikes. I was at ease immediately after meeting Sarah at the meet and greet. I would 100% use Sarah again in the future!”

About: Since I was a child, I have always had pets in my house; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, etc. I have experience in basic training, working with senior dogs, medicating dogs, puppies (both caring for and potty training), and body language in dogs. I know much about mannerisms and behavior in dogs as well as how to combat the bad ones. I have worked with all types of dogs, as I have worked in the pet food industry before. I have volunteered with multiple dog rescues in Florida including The Animal League and Hound Haven. I am a certified Canine Training & Behavior Specialist as of 2021. I am currently half way through a pet nutrition course as of 2022. I am currently working at a pet store from 10am to 4pm everyday, except Wednesday and Sunday. They are pretty flexible however and I would be able to take a lunch to let out the pups if needed. I have recently moved to a 3 acre plot, in which we are currently building a doggy haven with tons of fenced in running area and in the future pools and play equipment. If a VIP (very important pet) doesn't have access to a backyard I like to walk 3+ times daily depending on the dog. I feed my dogs twice a day on the best food I make myself. I have literal baskets of dog toys as well as safe chews for the dogs who like to chew. I'd rather not take dogs to a dog park as of the safety issue. I have two horses and 18 chickens that roam on my 3 acres and can take dogs as long as they are on leash to meet them. I live with a roommate who also helps take care of any pets in the house. I have five pets in the house; my pigeon, Sterling who 'rules the roost'; my two ferrets, Dobby & Dougal who love to play; my large (75lbs) dog, Blake who is excited at first then is calm; and my medium (30lbs) dog Akira who is most playful of the bunch. I watch all interactions with my pets and do have 'safety' crates for my pets if any issues of socialization.

“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”

Whether it’s preparing meals, administering medications, or providing mental stimulation, I ensure that every pet feels valued and cared for. My consistent schedule allows me to be flexible and dependable, making it easy to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide them with the stability they need.

I ensure pets feel like part of the family. They have access to a clean, secure space, with plenty of room to play and relax. I maintain a consistent schedule for meals, walks, and playtime, keeping their routines as close to normal as possible.

About: I love owning and caring for animals! I've owned quite a few animals in my lifetime and have cared for animals with varying personalities, ages, and medical requirements. I have a lot of experience with very large dogs including a 150 lb Labrador and German Shepherds, but I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I do NOT discriminate with any breed including Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. I will take animals that may have aggressive tendencies but none with a history of physical attacks. My biggest concern is making sure your animal is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away! I am open to check-ins; Having an animal is like having a child so whenever you want to check in on your buddy, don't be afraid to call. I have open availability right now. When your animal is under my care they will be with me 24/7 meaning frequent walks and bathroom breaks, trips to the park, and any activities your pet enjoys to do with you! Right now I have open availability so whether it’s in the morning or evening just a check in or an overnight stay, I can accommodate! It’s important for me to make sure your pet his giving the attention and love he needs while you’re away! I will always make sure they have plenty of potty breaks and play time! Or snuggles and relaxing, whatever you and your pet prefer.

“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”

About: I’ve been dogsitting since I was 18 years old. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats too! I’ll love them like my own fur baby ❤️ any questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working Wednesdays-Fridays from 7a-7p but open to other days! I like to live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your pet along with me to get a walk in during the day :) I have my own furbaby at home that loves walks, and would love to take yours on walks as needed. I can also pop in to play with them!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was 7 years old. I have no children, outside of my gentle giant Taz- a TN mountain cur, who is a service animal. He’s been with me for the last four years, well-traveled, and well-behaved. I WFH so I have ample time to get to know your fur baby. We will play, visit the dog park(s) in the area, and enjoy plenty of cuddle time. I offer bathing service, pickup services (within 30 miles) and can even cook to accommodate sensitive diets. I specialize in working with dogs that require extra special attention, such as those with separation anxiety. I have availability 7x a week, since I work from home M-F with weekends off. Whether you need a simple daycare service or overnight boarding, your baby will be right at home. While my dog has NO aggression(s) - such as kid, food, cat/dog - I understand not everyone will feel comfortable with interactions. I offer a XL crate and a separate room for babies with anxiety or that require isolation. Otherwise, your baby can feel free to stretch out in the sun in the yard or wherever is comfortable.

About: Whether it’s high energy dogs who need extra playtime, shy pets who need patience, or special needs animals who require careful attention, I adapt to meet them where they are. On top of that, I’m extremely communicative. I will send regular updates, photos, and am always responsive so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I know how important it is to feel at peace when you’re away, and I take that trust seriously. I will be in Summerfield, FL for the summer while home from college (up until August 15). I will be available Monday through Sunday 9am-9pm. I aim to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, playtime, and even bedtime rituals — so they feel secure and relaxed while you're away. I treat your home with respect and keep everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I’m mindful about locking doors, managing lights, and following any specific instructions you leave.
