Dog Walkers in Lake Alfred, FL

“My dog was being a diva today and had a tough time cooperating. Danae was incredibly kind and patient with her, trying to do everything that she could to help get my doggo outside. I can tell how much she truly cares about animals and I’d highly recommend her to anyone else. I appreciate her communication skills and empathetic approach.”

“Perfect communication! Highly recommended. I’m from out of state and visiting and trusted April to walk our dog while we were away at Disney. She sent his report with pictures and totally made my day at Disney much better.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my professional grooming back ground for nearly 19 years. I always loved all kinds of animals since I was a child. Growing up, I would take care of my neighbors and family members pets. As soon as I was an adult, I rescued my first mutt called Fifi, she was the love of my life. Soon after I found a little kitten and I named her Cucusa. Forward to now: I went to grooming school and I never looked back. I have a Frenchie named Duscha, a Lab-doodle named Sophia and 2 cats named Simba and Roxy. What ever your pets need: drop in visits a few times a day or a nice brisk or leisure walk for your pup.....I can do it! I am a Groomer and I can make my own schedule. I will always find the time to fit in a walk or drop in visits for your family pets. I will follow all your care and walk instructions. I will make sure your pets will always get my undivided attention. I will make sure your home and pets are safe and secure when I leave.

About: I have three years of experience we’ve raised my dog since he was a baby and potty trained him as well. I am very patient. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! I do Polk state online so my studies won’t be in the way ! I have a fenced yard with a playful and sweet goldendoodle who loves to make friends and a family of 5 to show it some love

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease—and she exceeded every expectation. She sent me tons of adorable videos (which I loved!), kept me updated the whole time, and made sure my pup felt safe, happy, and spoiled. My dog absolutely adored her—tail wags, cuddles, and all! I could tell they formed such a sweet bond, and that means the world to me. Shannon went above and beyond, and I can't thank her enough. If you're lucky enough to book Shannon, do it! She's the best. 🐾💛”

About: Growing up I cared for many pets and always wanted to be a veterinarian. Now that my children are older I can finally care for more pets again. This is another way I can do that and help some families out as well! I would love to be there person your family can rely on to help care for your fur babies while you’re away! I live right next to a park and would love to go for walks, play in my large fenced in back yard, or play in the park. I love animals and can’t wait to meet yours 🥰 Currently a stay a home mom I feel like this would be perfect for me and my kids. I would love to use these times as an opportunity to also show them how to care for and be responsible for when it comes to having their own pets. My yard is completely fenced in, and there is plenty of space for your fur baby to run free, outside and inside, and still be safe and secure!

About: I have 6 years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with my own French Bulldog, who I’ve raised and trained from puppyhood. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and training support for friends, family, and local pet owners outside of Rover. My experience includes feeding and administering basic medications, leash training, crate training, socialization, and creating engaging playtime for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently doing pet care full time and have a schedule free to take up. Perfect for last minute plans to have someone on call for your animals. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, and play sessions, so they feel secure and cared for. For dogs, I provide regular walks suited to their energy level, making sure they get both exercise and mental stimulation. I monitor water and food intake, keep their living space clean, and give plenty of affection and attention. I’m attentive to body language and behavior so I can respond quickly to any signs of stress or discomfort, and I always send updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. I had 5 dogs in my house growing up and they were my babies! I have dog sat for my friends and family for years! I am currently a stay at home wife so I have all day available to check in on your fur babies or take them for walks! I can easily crate your dog. I am extremely watchful when coming in and out of your home so as to not let your cat or dog out!

About: I myself am a pet owner to a sweet dog that does unfortunately have issues with fear aggression when meeting new people. Which is why I'm willing to meet any animal to see if things can work out. I'm not easily scared by dogs and I understand how hard it can be to find someone that is willing to meet my sweet boy. He is also a notorious leash puller so I'm comfortable with any kind of set up you have for potty breaks (he uses a head harness). I'm not here to judge your pet I'm here to make sure they are well taken care of. I'm also very comfortable with making sure they keep up with their training (I can firmly give them commands) while also making sure they get the love that they need. I work for the school board so my summer is super open right now, I might take a few vacations but my schedule will always reflect my availability as soon as I know it. I will always communicate the behavior I see in animals and keep pet parents well updated. If a pet parent needs me to crate their pet after a visit or a walk I'm comfortable with doing so and I even have tricks to do so!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than 7 years now. Whether it is my own dog or my sister’s two dogs when she is away on business. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for your furry family members. I enjoy helping pet owners who need support and look forward to meeting new pets with their unique personalities along the way I treat every pet like they’re my own—with love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether I’m visiting a client’s home or walking a dog in the neighborhood, I focus on creating a safe and calm environment.

About: Hi, I'm Celia! Growing up I had several dogs, cats and a turtle that made life full of fun and adventure. I had the opportunity to care for others pets because of my love for animals.

I have a very flexible work schedule to be able to accommodate your pet's individual needs, whether that be for medications, feeding, or daily engagement. While caring for your pet in their home environment, I will be able to take them on walks or play outside two to three times a day depending on the length of time you need someone to drop in. If you need more frequent visits I would be open to discussing that with you. I have 6 years of veterinary emergency care experience for a variety of pets. I am knowledgeable in injection and medication administration for any type of pet.

About: I love all animals. I have cared for many dog breeds, from Chihuahuas to Rhodesian Ridgebacks. I know how to care for dog with special needs/behavioral issues. I fully believe there is no such thing as a bad dog, only ones that need compassion, training, and positive reinforcement. I have cared for dogs with special diets and health issues, and know how to handle the ones who can't stay still as well as the ones who seems scared of their own shadow, they all deserve love and compassion. I am willing to accommodate any and all special requests from the owner, every dog is different! I have very full availability! I have same day availability, just let me know a few hours in advance so I can prepare. I am willing to set up recurring visits if that's something needed as well. I will be willing to commute to your home to provide walks or in home care, including overnight. I can provide toys, supplies, etc, or use ones provided. I can administer medications, I just will need instructions. I believe every pet is an individual, so I'd prefer to know as much as possible about what they need, but I also am able to read them pretty well! I unfortunately cannot provider can in my home at the time being, nor am I able to commute with the pets (I can walk them to places locally) I hope to provide more services in the future!

About: With a lifetime of experience, I’ve loved and cared for dogs and various pets of all ages since I could walk. I’ve raised and trained my own puppy, guiding her through every stage of development. Furthermore, I dog sit for friends and family any chance I get, who often call me a dog whisperer. What sets me apart is my unique ability to understand and bond with any pet. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, always wanting the best for them!

About: I am a dog-mom to a 12 year old Great Pyrenees /Mastiff and a grand to 3 more pups, an 8 year Border Collie mix, a 6 year old Australian Shepherd, and a 3 yo pit mix. My prior dog lived 14 years before crossing the rainbow bridge. I am an empty nester, so my pup, Lance, is like a child to me. Lance joins my husband and me on most of our adventures. I have a background in caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. My experience includes walking, exercising, feeding, and bathing dogs. I will always carry “doggie bags” and clean up after your pet while on walks or outside. I am also comfortable administering oral and topical medications as well as transporting your pet to and from vet appointments or the dog park, if needed. My belly rubs are the best!! I am currently semi-retired in the cardiology field, and I am a PT caregiver for my in-laws . Although my schedule varies, I am available most days during the week. I am looking to occupy my extra time with something I enjoy, and what better way to do it than nurturing your pet while you are away! I will come to your home to walk, feed, medicate, bathe, and play with your dog based on an agreed upon schedule. Overnight stays and house sitting services at your home are available on a limited basis. My mid sized SUV is large enough to accommodate your pet to and from appointments, as needed. My goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet and make the time away from you more comfortable. Don’t worry…I will send you lots of pictures of your pup!
