Dog Walkers in DeFuniak Springs, FL

About: Many years experience as a loving pet-parent (cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds and fish). I have worked as a dog-groomer as well. I am retired and no longer have pets but would enjoy helping out with yours. I am retired and have lots of time to play and care for your pets. I currently do not have pets after losing my 22 year old rat terrier last year but would treasure yours like my own. I live in an apartment without a fence but I can take your dog for walks as needed and can give them lots of my time and attention if they are here. Otherwise, I can come to you for their care.

“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.”

“Josie was amazing, I needed a last minute sitter/walker due to my other one not working out and Josie was right there when needed! Atticus loved being with her. I would definitely recommend Josie and I will be continuing with her!”

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: Hi! My name is Francis, and I provide a safe, loving home for your pets while you’re away. We live on 10 private acres in Crestview, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore, run, and enjoy the outdoors in a peaceful, private setting. I have over five years of experience caring for dogs, including walking, house-sitting, and providing long-term care. I also foster both dogs and cats for extended periods of time, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and special needs. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Whether your pup loves to run or just relax, I adjust to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone, so I always provide updates and pictures so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. If you’re looking for a calm, spacious, and caring environment for your dog, I’d love to help! Caring for pets is an integral part of my daily routine. Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, play, exercise, and social interaction, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. I provide attentive, personalized care for pets both in my home and in clients’ homes. This includes feeding, playtime, exercise, administering any medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. I adjust my care routine to each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and secure whether they’re in my care or their own home.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on pet care experience from volunteering at Alaqua Animal Refuge. Over the past few years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even bunnies, learning how to meet the needs of many different personalities and breeds. I’ve also been dog sitting and house sitting for the past year and a half, and I’m always excited to learn more and give every pet the love, patience, and attention they deserve! I currently have a job, but I always plan ahead and am happy to work around my schedule to meet the needs of your pets, being out of school I am more open . I value clear communication and will always be open and upfront to make sure everything is scheduled smoothly and your animals get the care they deserve. Please don't be shy to send different requests like helping out while you're on vacation with drop in's/ walks .

About: Hi there! I’m an Alaqua Animal Refuge approved foster momma! I treat every animal like they’re part of my family, not just a booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away — whether that means structured walks, playtime, or plenty of snuggles on the couch. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing because I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your best friend. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because I own my own business and work from home. This allows me to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have the flexibility to step away when needed for walks, drop-ins, or special care requests, so pets receive consistent care without long periods alone. I adjust care to each dog’s personality and needs — whether that’s structure and patience for puppies or extra comfort and gentle care for seniors. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely and provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel reassured. My goal is simple — happy, comfortable pets and owners who feel completely at ease while they’re away.
