Dog Walkers in Homestead Ridge, FL

About: Hi! I’m Jillian, a current master’s student at Florida State with a deep love for animals. I grew up with two cats and have fostered five dogs over the past four years, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with different pet personalities. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. If you'd prefer to meet or go over instructions beforehand, I’m happy to come by to make sure everything goes smoothly. I’m not only an animal lover, but also very reliable and detail-oriented. Feel free to reach out with any questions or pet care needs! I am a student living near Florida State's campus and taking classes. That being said, I can do drop-ins during the day, spend the night with advance notice, and work out a schedule that works best for you. My classes are in the mornings and afternoons, depending on the day, so please reach out to me for more information and specific schedules. I am there for the pet's needs, so I am willing to adapt to the schedule provided by the owners. Whether that be neighborhood walks, going to a pet park, or spending a certain amount of time with the animal. I am very flexible and can be there for your animal's needs,

About: I've had dogs for nearly my entire life and enjoy being around and spending time with all dogs I've ever met. When you have to be away or just need a caring pair of hands I can be there for you. I'm looking to make this a part time effort to help out people who need caring hands. I am typically available just about anytime night or day. We have 3 cats at our home (Beef Broccoli and Brisquette) as well as a German Shepard Husky mix (Moxxi). While Beef prefers to live outside and passively engages with us the way outside cats tend to do. Our indoor buddies are happy playful and surprisingly talkative, they get their flea meds bimonthly as we rarely have flea issues.

“Melanie is extremely patient and great with my dog. She is also great at communicating how my dog is doing. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life, dating back to my parents’ cats they had before I was born. One of my favorite childhood memories is the day we got our family dog Jaybo when I was in first grade and a great memory of my adulthood is when I got my dog Finn in 2018. In my friend group, I have become someone who friends look to for help with taking care of their pets. I love all dogs and will treat yours as if it is my own pet if you entrust them into my care, be it for walks or drop-in visits. I’m currently working a few different part-time jobs which have flexible schedules so I can meet pretty much whatever visitation demands you would like for your dog and would be happy to give them the love, attention and exercise they need while you’re away. I have a small back patio with some grass and would be sure they are well-exercised with walks around my neighborhood. At home, I have a seven-year hound/shepherd mix named Finn who is friendly with all dogs and would love to play with your dog if they are open to that but is also great at reading energies of other dogs and will give space if that’s what your dog prefers.

About: Hi, I’m Mikaela! I’m 26 years old. I have recently become a US Navy Veteran and a full time college student. I have always grown up with at least 4 animals in the house at once, so if you are worried if I can handle more than one animal at a time or not, think again! I am comfortable with all dogs, every shape and size- cats too! I am not timid around new pups and they tend to sense that and become very comfortable with me very quickly. Please don’t hesitate to request me, I’d love to help care for your pets! I am a full time college student with most of my classes being online. I currently live in a house with my husband. I have a fenced yard with plenty of play space for dogs. I am also very active and live in a neighborhood with sidewalks that we use to walk our dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of space to run and play! I have two adult spayed female dogs that love meeting new friends. I also have the space to keep them separate if need be.

“Excellent dog walker! Cares about my dog and is professional.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I treat every animal like they’re my own. I currently live in a separate suite on my father’s property. While I don’t have any pets of my own I am an active part of daily care for the family pets and always have been, so this responsibility is not new or burdensome to me. Additionally, my home arrangement affords me the opportunity to give your pet friend undivided care and attention. As a full time student, I have ample time to spend with your pet! Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, or lounging around. All activities fit perfectly into my daily routine. I love being outside, so pets in my care get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and playtime! Whether I’m watching your pet at your home or mine, I always keep things calm, safe, and fun. I closely follow their normal routine and give them the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I have my own separate living quarters, which allows for separation from other animals on the property. However, due to my unique living situation, I still have access to other animals for socialization or companionship if that’s something your pet enjoys.

About: I have had a dog with my dad forever. I help take care of him. I take care of my friends dogs when she is away. I am working part-time. I can walk or check in before and/or after any of my shifts when you need me. I am free most of summertime, especially in the summertime. I will feed the dog, take them on walks, give them their medicine, and make sure there is no droppings around the house and if there is I will clean it.

“My boys LOVE Shafika! They go on their weekly walks and it's our favorite day of the week!”

About: I love animals and believe they are gifts to be cherished. For over twenty years I've had several cats, a Westie, and two very special rabbits. All of them have affected my life for the better, so I know your angel means the world to you. I have been pet sitting for three years now, and I can truly say each pet is special and it is my aim to bring you peace of mind that your pet is receiving the very best care. If you're looking for someone to house sit for your dog, cat, or rabbit, I will make sure they feel safe and to treat them like royalty. I have had experience giving medication, applying thunder jackets, and just providing comfort when owners are away. I'm available most days to house sit or do a drop in visit. Your pet is my top priority and I will make sure they receive the care they deserve For dogs, I appreciate learning what your puppers needs before making a visit. For cats and rabbits, I will make sure your home is calm and quiet and kept comfortably cool, and that they have the much needed peace they require. For boarding, I ask that your pupper is housetrained.

About: I am a 24-year-old college student searching for pet-sitting opportunities in Tallahassee, Florida. I am passionate about animals and plan on entering a Zoology-related career field. My specialty lies in reptiles, amphibians, and cats, but I am just as capable of caring for small dogs and birds. I do not accept large dogs as I am a slight individual and have difficulty handling them. Over the years, I have cared for a boa constrictor, a leopard gecko, two rats, two African dwarf frogs, a red-eared slider, a Shih Tzu, and a total of seven cats. Fun Fact: Jackson Galaxy and Steve Irwin are heroes of mine! My schedule is flexible, and I will work part or full-time as required. I am willing to stop by once a day or stay the night with your pet(s) as needed. I have reliable transportation and can care for small animals at any client's home in the Tallahassee area. With all pets, I will require a meeting beforehand to ensure they are comfortable with me and that I am providing the best possible care. This will include me writing down all necessary information, such as emergency contact numbers, feeding schedules, specific care requirements, and household upkeep. I will maintain steady contact with the client through phone calls and texts while caring for their animal(s).

About: Hey there! I've grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, from playful pups to cuddly seniors.

About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕‍🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality. Whether it’s drop-ins or keeping them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own space. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care. I also go on lots of walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! 🐕‍🦺🌳 When I care for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. 🏡 I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medication, or favorite spots for walks or naps. I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

“Taylor has been so helpful and very flexible with my schedule! Great communication and easy to work with. My dog loves when she comes over.”
