Dog Walkers in Florahome, FL

About: He/him | It/its I've been looking after dogs as soon as I turned 8. I have experience with high-energy animals, as I take care of two at the moment. I have experience administering medication, bathing, walking and tending to the needs of those with skin issues. I am fully available any day of the week, including the weekend, starting 10 AM. However, I am not open on Thursdays until after 5 PM. I do not take requests for boarding at the moment due to the unpredictable nature of my own animals. Though I am open to walking, visits and overnight stays.

About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life. My last dog was 18 and 1/2 yrs old when I lost her. She was my best friend and I still miss her 9 yrs later. Animals give us unconditional love and they deserve the same in return. They communicate with us if we keep our minds open to it. I am semi retired, I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. My cats are on a timed feeding schedule of prescription cat food and 3 weekly feeding of fresh wet cat food with no by products, just protein, rice and broth. I check their weight weekly and they receive vet visits quarterly like clock work. I take their health as seriously as I take my own. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: I have 10 years of experience taking care of pets. Have taken care of puppies to senior dogs so your pet will be in good hand also have a vet down the road from the house I work full time during the week but have the weekends available to give your pet attention that they need also can board through the week I have one dog and a fence in yard which is .5 an acre so plenty of room to run around and play plenty of toys also

“Paige has been walking my two dogs and I am so grateful! She is punctual, communicative, compassionate and loving. I always know that, when my dogs are with her they are safe and having a great time walking. I highly recommend her to all Rover People!”

About: Hi, My name is Maarten and twenty-nine years ago, I applied for an internship at Artis, a zoo in Amsterdam. As luck would have it, I didn't get the job and life took me in a different direction. Now I am 45 years old and fate has finally delivered me to a spot where I can get back to my childhood dream of working with animals. I grew up in a household filled with animals: dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, rats and parrots. This nurtured a wide knowledge of animal care. Over the years, we've had 9 dogs, all of which I trained myself. At the moment, I am raising a 1.5 year old German Shepherd and a 6 month old BullMastiff mix. I want to say that over the years, dogs have grown especially close to my heart. To be honest, they have completely taken over. At the moment, I work part-time as a kennel attendant for S.A.F.E. Pet Rescue. Although I consider it a dream job, my long-term goal is to open up my own doggy daycare. Approach to Dog Walking: I believe that every dog is unique and deserves the utmost care and respect. I approach dog walking with a big smile and a warm heart. My goal is to create a fun and lively experience for your dog, making each walk a joyful adventure. During our walks, I'll ensure your furry friend's safety and well-being, while also encouraging positive behavior. Wednesday and Thursday I work for S.A.F.E. Animal Shelter. The rest of the week I am available between 08:00 and 15:30. Evening visits can be planned by special request. The safety of your pets and property are my main focus. Before you take me on as your pet profesional we will go over your dog's/cat's strengths and weaknesses to ensure a healthy happy and safe experience.

About: I have been in love with dogs since the first time I laid eyes on my aunt's dog at four months old, and refused to sleep without her. I remember trying to train dogs from age six and on. I am now a professional dog trainer and kennel technician. I have experience in socializing, potty training, aggression rehabilitation, and pet first aid. I truly enjoy being around dogs, boosting their confidence, while also teach them manners. Not only can I walk, check-in, board, or house sit for you and your pup; but I can also work on leash, obedience training, and separation anxeity. I will take care of your best friend as I would my own. If you need someone to take care of your fur baby when you can't, I'll be there. I am a full time mom of 3, full time teacher, full time student, part time coach, and part time dog trainer. With having so much on my plate I’m unfortunately not willing to go any further than 10-15 miles from my home at this time. When your dog is in my care I make sure they get the same attention and care I would give my own dogs. Our day depends on your dogs typical routine and energy level. Exercise, playtime, and tons of love.

About: I've taken care of a family dog my whole life. I am always gentle and kind to dogs. I try to be patient with them always. I'm looking to spend as much time as I can with pets! Taking care of animals is a big passion of mine. I always treat them like my own family. I treat pets gently and kindly. I always put them first place and I'm sure to stay attentive to their needs. I'm looking forward to becoming a professional.

About: I've taken care of dogs on and off my whole life. I love dogs and once had a beautiful Samoyed with one blue and brown eye. I'm currently working part - time so I'd have plenty of time for spending time with and taking care of animals. I'm pretty flexible and would enjoy it immensely. I would follow any instructions for your pet whether it be walking, playing, feeding or administering any medicine your fur baby might need as well as lots of love.

“Makala watched and walked our large dog for 5 days while we were traveling. She was dependable and checked in, sending us a picture after every visit. I will always be turning to Makala when I need my pet watched. I love the Rover app, it tracked her time at each visit, so I knew that our dog got a nice long walk.”

About: I have been working with animals for 10+ years. Neighbors, friends and family could always depend on me for their pet sitting needs. Happy to help and always flexible. I am a stay at home mom and I can plan my days uniquely to fit your schedule and pet! I am flexible and open to different schedules. I treat other peoples pets like my own. They will be comfortable and happy while you are away. I understand owners have schedules that their pets are used to and I can provide everything they need while away.

About: I have taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs to chickens, as well as birds and horses, and have grown up with cats all my life. The dog breeds I have cared for in my work experience have been pitbulls, standard poodles, lab/hound mixes, golden retrievers, chow mixes, chihuahuas, etc. I am currently taking a year off from working as a full-time elementary teacher, so my availability has become much more flexible in regards to accommodating future clients' schedules. As a courtesy, however, a 1 week in advance notice is always preferred, so that way I may plan accordingly!😁 I would prefer to fur-babysit at my client's home just because it is where they are most familiar, and I want them to be comfortable. I love to capture my time spent with them and send you plenty of photos to ensure they are in the best care possible!

“I’d give her 10 stars if I could! Kylie was amazing with my pupper and has great attention to detail. Excellent communication back and forth and took some awesome pictures of my little lady! If you’re looking for someone to look after your doggo with having to worry, Kylie is your gal!!!”

About: Hi Everyone, My name is Penny and thank you for considering me as your Pet Caregiver. I have had pets (mostly dogs) in my life since a very young child. The unconditional love they provide always makes my heart smile and I will always care for your fur babies as if they are my own :) I have spent the last 20 years caring for my own 4 very special dogs and unfortunately it came time for them to cross the rainbow bridge due to age. I miss caring for them and would love to now spend my time assisting you in caring for your Fur Baby. I have had the pleasure of caring for my neighbors animals (including chickens) while they have traveled and can provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting with you and your beloved pets 🐾 I am currently a caretaker for an elderly post surgical neighbor and have a lot of free time most days. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog or cat when you are unable to be at home for them :) I am trustworthy and reliable to take care of your precious fur babies on my down time. I will follow all of your instructions and give them all the love they need while you are away.

About: I have been a dog owner, professional dog care provider, and frequent volunteer at animal shelters for the last 3 years. Dogs provide me with endless joy and entertainment and I make it my mission to make them feel as comfortable, loved, and supported as possible when I'm with them. I live with my fiancé, who has been working professionally with dogs and numerous other animals for 8 years, so you can rest assured that your dogs will receive exceptional care during their time with us. I love going for walks (long or short, filled with sniffs and adventure or simple bathroom trips) and taking trips to nearby Lanier Dog Park, so your dog can get the right amount of exercise and outdoor time depending on its personality and the weather or season. I know that when you are away from your pet it can be quite anxiety inducing so I'm happy to provide frequent photo or video updates to keep you in the loop on all the fun we're having! I promise your dog will get tons of love and attention while in my care!! My wife and I both work from home doing pet care full time. Your pets will get 100% of the attention they need and deserve during a stay at our home. I have a small, fenced in yard for bathroom breaks in between longer walks. I’m able to crate your dog if needed but also fine allowing them to sleep on a sofa/dog bed/my bed if that’s what they’re used to.

About: I’ve had a wide variety of pets growing up and I understand that’s pets are family members and should be treated as such! We don’t deserve our pets so it’s up to us to give them the best care and love! I have a high energy husky who gets lots of play time during the day and walks in the morning and at night. Pet care is already integrated into my daily routine. In my home I give the dogs play time at the park and inside and keep them occupied with safe toys and lick mays. In a clients home I will play with your pets and care for them as instructed.

About: I have a soft spot for the big bully breeds but love the little ones as well. I worked at an animal emergency clinic for a few years. My flex is remaining extremely calm in any situation.
