Dog Walkers in DeFuniak Springs, FL

About: I have been training dogs for 8 years, I have spent the past couple years working in rescue so I can also train during a visit! I am a retired veteran and have access to Eglin AFB! During a stay I can potty train and work on basic commands, during a stay or walk I can work on leash training! I have 2 dogs with medical conditions so I am experienced with medication administration and I also worked for a vet clinic! I’ve worked in rescue so I also do well with shy or “difficult to deal with” dogs! I am an online college student so I have free time to check in and make sure that let’s get proper outside time and exercise! **disclaimer** I am unable to accommodate overnight stays at this time due personal circumstances. I am still available for house sitting and will be with the pets during the day but will return home in the evenings. I understand that some dogs are jumpy or quick to run! I ensure that I am not careless and am always paying attention when opening doors or gates, and ensure that anything that could be harmful is put away!

About: I have had family pets ever since I was little. I love being surrounded by animals and it is my goal to become a veterinarian. I have a passion for taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve. I am currently living on a farm in Ponce De Leon FL and care for pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl along with two dogs and a barn cat. I am an Air Force veteran and currently classes at UWF for a bachelors degree in biology. I am able to do drop in visits at pet homes as well as overnight stays. My current class schedule is all day Tuesdays, half days Wed-Fri and fully available on Mondays. Over the summer I will be taking some classes but most will be online and the only days unavailable will be Tuesday and Thursday. I ensure that when letting pets out, I stay with them and have eyes on them. I value the safety and security of every dog I watch over. I currently live on a farm type property that is approximately 20 acres. It is partially fenced in but our dogs have become accustomed to staying within the property limits. To ensure dog safety I will always be outside with the animals. We also have a multitude of farm animals such as donkeys, chickens, Guinea fowl, turkeys, pigs, and sheep. The birds have free range of the property but the pigs and sheep are in a fenced in area.

“Kate is amazing!!! Maggie is usually shy but she was comfortable with Kate right away during the meet and greet. We couldn’t believe it ❤️ Kate does an amazing job of communicating and updating the profile with pictures. She talked about how Maggie was and what they did. We couldn’t be happier and more grateful 🙏 If Kate is in your area then drool no further. We messaged several Rover sitters and most didn’t even bother to message back. Kate is a professional who takes this responsibility seriously, and we will be trusting her with our Maggie anytime we are out of town. Don’t hesitate! Message Kate!”

“Kelly handled my dog Stella amazingly. I live in a very dog heavy neighborhood and I adopted a senior German Shepherd with dog on dog reactivity due to early trauma in life. Kelly took my dog on a nice long walk for an hour and Stella was tired when I got home which made me so happy. I could definitely tell Stella loves Kelly. She even had her favorite ball in her mouth in the picture that Kelly sent me. Stella won’t even bring over her favorite ball to my parents so I definitely will be rebooking her again. I would highly recommend Kelly for anyone’s dog.”

About: I've always loved having dogs growing up, and I've done everything from basic needs like feeding and watering all the way to chaotic bath times with multiple dogs. Even doing on runs with my husky! Now I have a cat of my own, and I have equal appreciation for cats and dogs. I'd love to help check in on your pets, give them some love, and even take them for walks and explore! My schedule is super flexible, as I am able to work around the needs of your pets. I can stop in anytime from the early morning to late evening. I always ensure that your pets are comfortable around me, even if it’s slow going. If they want to just chill, I’m content sitting with them. Or if they want to run around a yard I’ll run with them!

About: I have about 8 years of experience in Japan and all over America, primarily military personnel and dogs. I have dogsit for little dogs and big dogs and even ones with special needs. I’m new to the area but looking forward to meeting some new fur buddies! I have a 8 month old golden retriever that would also probably love to have company and meet new friends! I work full time during the week but my girlfriend is here so she can help me throughout the week (she also is a sitter on Rover) but after about a month I’d have to pet sit on the weekends. It would be super easy to dog sit as I have a dog of mine own so it wouldn’t be any extra work. I do live in an apartment but I take my dog out pretty often and will also take her on walks and to dog parks so they always get time to run around and be outside. My dog is 8 months old but is super friendly to other dogs, big and small.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns before making a decision to hire me or regarding your pets after the hiring process. I am a stay at home mom of one, so I have a very flexible schedule. I care for my own six cats and dog daily! Careful attention will be used to ensure that each pet is safe and comfortable. Updates can be provided as frequently as requested; I understand the anxiety of being without your companions.

About: I’ve had family dog since I was a baby. I’ve been around many size and breeds of dogs. I also use to dog sit for neighbors when I was 12 years old. Currently my apartment doesn’t allow dogs so I have a cat. But I love cats and dogs and love to hike and would love to spend time with dogs and take care of them such as feeding, going on walks, and lots of attention and pets. I currently work from home Monday to Friday 8 am to 4:30pm. I am available for meet and greets after work or during the weekend. If you are okay with your pet staying at our house, I do have a cat here who will just keep his distance lol. Working from home does allow me to have more flexibility and I will be able to take your pet out for walks or spend time with them during my shift. I have a teenager son who loves animals as well and a baby girl, so I hope your pet also is good around children. I have a Maine Coon and he’s about a little over 3 years now. He’s very lovable at his convenience but mostly likes to lay around or play and chase his toys. He’s pretty laid back and easy to care for. Just keep up with his food and water and clean his box. His name is cosmos and he’s good with kids. I have a 13 year old and I just had a baby in August which now makes my schedule a little more challenging but happy to try and work things out just need to be transparent on what your needs and expectations are in order to care for your fur baby so I can make the appropriate arrangements with my family.
