Dog Walkers in Crystal River, FL

About: Growing up, I have always taken care of many different kind of animals. I love dogs and cats. I will always treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am trained in canine/feline first aid and CPR. I am a former EMT with the Citrus County Fire Rescue and the Louisville Metro EMS (Kentucky) and then moved into the hospital setting working in the emergency room. I’m a US Army Veteran and served for 11 years. Prior to emergency medicine, I worked in law enforcement. I am currently medically retired. My professional and personal experiences have placed me in situations where I had to rapidly respond to emergencies for people and animals alike. I have my own pets and love them with all my heart. I am respectful of all households and cultures and will put your fur baby’s needs first. If they need special attention or medications I can administer them. There’s nothing I won’t do for pets. I get along with all types of dogs/cats and breeds. I have experience with raising new puppies and know the attention and care they will be needing. I also have experience in caring for geriatric pets and all the intensive care that entails. Just let me know what your baby/babies need and I will follow through. I am free after I drop my daughter off at school. I just have to be available to check in on my elderly mother in law. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around outside. The house inside has gated off areas. I also drive a SUV for transportation. Plenty of room for pups.

“Lisa has been amazing! I wish I wasn’t moving! She’s so good to my baby and just such a kind person. So thankful we were able to use her to love on him during the day while I worked.”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats, from being a puppy to a senior. Both pure breeds and rescues. I will care for yours like my own. I’m currently a teacher and can stop in before and after school. During breaks I will have a flexible schedule to take care of your pet. I have a fenced yard. In your home I will walk, feed, and play with your dog or cat. If they looked stressed I will stay longer.

About: I am a 54 year old single female. I have owned several pets throughout my life from newborn pups to elderly. I currently have 4 dogs and 3 adult children (1 grandchild) that I care for. I have experience walking all types of dogs, individually or in a group. I am available to house sit as well as pet sit. And not to worry, my pets are loved and well taken care of by my adult children while I take care of yours. I have been caring for my family and friends pets and children almost my entire life - I have plenty of love to share with all of your pets. I can even care for your plants if needed. 😊 I live in Lecanto and I am only available in the evenings Monday through Thursday after 6PM. But I am available FULL TIME Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is my dream to spend my later years caring and loving for animals. I am interested in making caring for and loving pets my full time job, so I am more than interested in full time positions. I would love to leave my current day job behind and make my passion for animals my full time job. Your pets and your home will be treated as if they are my own. I live in a nice subdivision and keep my back yard fenced for the dog’s freedom and security. As I have several pets already I would be caring for or walking your pets in your home / neighborhood. I will send photos and videos of your pets as I care for them so you can feel at ease while away from your pet(s).

“Dawn is wonderful with my pups! They always look so happy in the pictures she sends me, and I appreciate the updates she gives me. She is responsive to inquiries and requests. I'm so glad I found her!”

About: I have always had a love of animals since growing up on a farm in rural West Virginia full of chickens, pigs, horses, cows and of course dogs and cats. I currently have one dog, a German Shepard female. I'm a single mom who is looking to make some money on the side doing something I love. I work in healthcare but I'm exploring other career opportunities caring for animals. I'm hoping by helping other families I will be accomplishing two tasks at one time: gaining experience and assisting families. If you would like a kind and compassionate person to care for your animals in your absence I might be what you're looking for. I have never been convicted of misconduct towards people or animals and willing to go through background check screenings.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I love them all. I’ve helped friends and family with their fur babies on several occasions; cats and dogs of different sizes. Walking, cleaning up after, feeding, playing with and all kinds of cuddles. I am currently available most always to care for your pets. I’d like a days notice for most scheduling but you can contact me anytime and most likely will be available on short notice I do have doggie doors and a privacy fence but my fur baby is 11 and likes her alone time so I’d prefer to care for yours at your home and follow any instructions you have and i would always walk them on a leash outside of the property.

“Jennifer is great. She came for a Meet & Greet and spent time getting to know Colt. For his first walk, Colt was confused at first when I didn’t go with him. Once he realized it was just the two of them he was fine and went down the driveway wagging his tail. Jennifer took pictures and told me all about their walk. I have booked Jennifer for weekly walks and look forward to our vacation next month.”

About: I have loved and cared for pets for over 40 years including dogs, cats, bunnies, hermit crabs, and caiques. I currently have three beautiful dogs and a caique who are my best friends. I have done pet sitting and dog walking for coworkers and neighbors over the past 20 years and I also volunteered for Cat Crusaders in Tampa for three years where I cared for cats housed in a local PetSmart. This involved cage cleaning, playing and administering medications. . Due to my recent retirement that has given me abundant free time, I have decided to offer these services on Rover. I welcome the opportunity to care for your pets in a professional, loving and timely manner.

I currently have three large male dogs: German Shepherd, English Mastiff and a Pointer mix. All three boys go for walks in a nearby park and have a large fenced in yard for playtime, however they also love to be in the house enjoying the air conditioning. I respect all pet owner rules, so I will feed, walk and care for your pets according to your wishes. I will also clean up, water plants, etc.. as needed. I can make visits to your home at any time based on your needs and I can also take your pets for walks.

About: I have been around my family's pets since birth-dogs of all sizes and cats-but my journey with caring for them began when I was 14. I helped birth, raise, and train three litters of great dane puppies over the course of a few years and have loved and advocated for them ever since. I still petsit the dogs in my family household in their senior years. I understand that all animals have unique body language and I strive to pay great attention to this. As a house and petsitter, I will always adhere to your personal advice, if you have it: how to interpret your dogs' unique behavior, how to engage with their personality, and how to make them the most comfortable. I also trust my intuition and will always prioritize their safety. I look forward to being a great friend and caregiver to your furbabies! I am a student; From January to March I attend physical classes two days a week and I will be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fri/Sat/Sun. I cannot care for pets in my own home, however, I will travel up to an hour to care for them in your home. I have a driver's license and vehicle. I will provide the play and exercise per your pet's individual needs, feed them and keep water fresh, administer medication if needed per your instructions, and drive them to their favorite park or vet appointments.

About: I have been around pets of all kinds since I was 4 years old. I’ve taken care of kittens, adult cats, puppies, adult dogs of all breeds, pigs, chickens, rabbits, turtles, fish, and even crabs! 😂 My neighbors have always relied on me to watch their various types of pets while they are away. This is what led me here! I have moved and am looking for some new opportunities! I work almost 40 hours a week at my part-time job. I could have two days a week completely open. Most days I don’t go in until the afternoon and I am never off later than 9:30. I also typically have hour lunch breaks. If you decide I’m the right match for you, just know that while my schedule may be unpredictable, I always get my schedule a week and a half to two weeks ahead of time. My puppy honestly lives in the house as if she owns the place! She is absolutely the biggest sweetheart and veryyyy spoiled! I love to love on dogs, give them treats for tricks, getting physical exercise in and out of the house, and especially snuggling! (When I know the dog and the owners are okay with that of course). However, I also have no problem sticking to their everyday schedule (if they have one). I can feed, walk, and crate your pet as scheduled. Honestly I’m just such an animal lover, nothing involving the care of animals bothers me. I believe it is our duty to return the unconditional love and support our pets provide us with!

About: Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine. From lizards to birds to dogs and cats you name it, I love each and every one. I work as a veterinary technician at my local animal hospital and enjoy every second of it. I work full time with Tuesdays and every other Saturday off. I’m passionate about keeping pets happy and healthy. While working here I have gained lots of experience and knowledge of multiple breeds, ages and sizes. I’m able to administer medications if needed, take care of seniors, or take care of dogs/cats with any disabilities. While I’m taking care of your pets you’ll never have to worry, I will treat them and love them like my own! I always make sure to update pet parents and send lots of pictures! I’ve been told I would be a great pet photographer😉. Check out my photos in my profile! I will always do my best to accommodate any needs and schedules. I would love to be able to care for your pets!💕 I work part time, I have Tuesdays, Thrusdays, and weekends off! If your pet stays with me during the week I can come home for lunch and take care of them. In the morning I make sure everyone gets their exercise and breakfast. After work we get lots of love and more play time and then dinner! I live on about 3 acres and have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run and play! I always have an eye on my fur babies and never let them out of my site!

About: I grew up on a small farm, so I have experience with all kinds of animals. I started off by raising and taking care of rabbits and ducks when I was 4 years old. We also had a horse, a pony, a donkey, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, birds (parakeet, conure, dove, and pigeons), hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, fish, ferrets, a squirrel and geese. I am self-employed as a graphic/web designer, so my schedule is extremely flexible and I can work from anywhere so I can be available last minute if needed. I am unable to board pets in my home due to having 3 dogs here but I can come to your home and provide whatever service is needed. I have both small and large dogs with different attitudes so I am cautious when taking them on walks to make sure they stay safe and secure. I also crate trained my dogs so I know what to do if that is required. When I take the dogs out to potty, I make sure that they do both to ensure there will be no messes in the home. I also keep an eye out for the Bufo toads that are poisonous.
