Dog Walkers in Inverness Highlands South, 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.

About: I've rescued and cared for six dogs, three became mine. And I' ve dog-sat for friends & family for decades. Dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and exprienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for critters is my heart & soul. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.

About: Hi fellow pet lovers! I’m Jackie, I grew up on a farm and now have a couple cats myself! I volunteer at the shelter weekly and have experience doing numerous things, whether it’s administering medications, removing ticks, or even the tricky eaters! I promise I am a kid on Christmas morning when it comes to caring for your pet and will do nothing more but give them the utmost care and attention. Thank you in advance for trusting me! Very easily! I currently work from home and make my own hours so I can be available at any time, day or night for your needs. I have a two bedroom one story condo. I will block off the back half to keep my two cats separated. Which will leave plenty of space for your pets needs. They will have access to my spare room, living room, dining room and kitchen area. And yes of course they’re allowed on the couch!

“Shelby was wonderful. She cared for our pups as her own. She took amazing care of them! Highly recommend.”

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).

About: From pups to great Danes, turtles to amazon green parrots, fish and more, love them all. Cats are great but only can do drop in visits. I work from home and pets will go out supervised in the yard and walks, weather permitting( down pour rain). Letting pets out IS MY PRIORITY!! I have a fenced in shaded yard perfect for small sunbathing and rolling around in the grass. Great for doing zoomies and playing ball lots of fun!!

“Taylor is awesome and friendly and excellent with our doberman. Very knowledgeable and makes sure your animals are safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend Taylor. Lots of pictures and great communication, trustworthy and always on time. We will def use Taylor for future walks and stays.”

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.

“I’m always nervous whenever I leave my fur babies in someone else’s care, but as soon as I met Nola I was immediately at ease. She is easy to communicate with, responds quickly to messages, works with your schedule, and is very reasonably priced. She is also wonderful with my fur babies and you can tell that she has a lot of experience. There aren’t enough words to praise Nola. Thank you Nola for all that you do for me and my fur babies!”

About: I'm a US Marine Vet that has always loved dog and all animals since I was a kid, dogs and snakes were always my true loves but now it's just dogs for me. I have a soft spot for pit bulls just so long they aren't mean and get along with small dogs. I believe dogs are one of God's greatest gifts and I sometimes believe humans do not deserve dogs because of how pure hearted and loyal they are to us. I have been taking care of dogs my whole life and I'm 49 now. Dogs need love and someone to play with and other dogs to play with, that's why I have 6. I have worked with a few rescues in the past mainly sharing dogs for rescue, fostering and a few worked with me when my father died to rehome all my dads dogs. I'm looking for people that have dogs that want to be outside and play for doggy day care. My services at the moment are for doggy daycare for outside dogs in a big fenced in yard with other dogs until I can get my kennels and building set up. We have 10 acres with about 3/4 acre that is fenced in that 3 of my dogs stay, the other 3 live inside. I work from home and I'm a homebody and don't really leave the house unless I absolutely have to. I do have to go to the VA or other appointments occasionally or to do some shopping but i'm here prob 95% of the time. I keep my pets watered and fed, walked as needed. I play with them and we entertain each other. If any storms come up I move the outdoor dogs into the garage in kennels where it's safe.

About: My mom and I have been taking care of dogs together for the past 2 years. It is a great way for us to meet new people and their animals as well. I'm currently working part-time during the week, but my mom is always home during the week and we live in the same house so she is around to take care of your babies when I am at work. I have an unfenced yard but I will be able to walk your pets on leashes around the yard as well. I can also take them on walks around my neighborhood with my mom as well.

About: I’ve been working with pets since I was twelve and have just loved taking care of any and every animal! Whether you have a big dog, small dog, or even a cat I can help out! I can do walks in any condition! I’m currently not employed, so I am available all days of the week! I’m looking for a job but if this goes well it will only be part time! I am unfortunately unable to take requests at this time for overnight stays at my home. However, I am able to take care of animals within your home! Each animal is different, so if there is anything that your pet likes in particular let me know! I like to foster a warm and caring environment when I care for others pets.
