Dog Walkers in Lithia, FL

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals, featuring fish, cats, and a few different breeds of dogs. I love being active so if you need your dog walked I gotchu. If your pet just needs a bit of loving, I got more than enough love to give to your precious babies. In my life I’ve owned fish, a cat, and currently the cutest white German Shepard. I am more than willing to adapt to whatever special needs your pet has, even as far as spoon feeding them. (Hasn’t happened yet but who knows!) I’ve done pet sitting for multiple neighbors and relatives: fish, frogs, cats (both kittens and a senior), and even a few different breeds of dogs (primarily a golden Labrador). I am happy to be at your service and to get to know your precious beans. I am an artist and need some work on the side of that to get by. Since I have such flexibility, I should be able to show up any time as long as I’m not asleep! I cannot accept pets into my own home as I currently own a dog and don’t want mine or your pet(s) to get stressed by strange animals; however, as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am willing to make as many visits as is necessary. I can also take your pet on walks, clean up if there happens to be a mess (ie: hairball), change litter, clean up dog poop, and more! As of now I don’t offer overnight stays.

“Sam has been an absolute blessing to us and our little one. Our puppy gets so excited when she comes. She treats him like her own and is very knowledgeable on his breed, behavior, and everything in between. We couldn’t be happier!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have taken care of basically every size, from tiny Yorkies to huge Great Pyrenees. I genuinely love dogs and promise to treat yours just like my own. I'll make sure they get a good walk, plenty of water, and I’ll send you lots and lots of photos so you know they’re in good hands!! I’m currently on summer break as a full-time college student, so I have plenty of time throughout my day to take your dog on walks and make sure they’re all good! 🐶 I treat every pet with respect and understand that all dogs are different, and have different needs and preferences. I am a very loving person and will do everything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy! 🐾

“This was my first time using a dog walking service. I couldn't have picked a better person to entrust my dogs with. Thank you Nicole for a great job and most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved you.”

About: I was a proud dog mom for 15 years, caring for my pup from playful puppyhood through his senior years, which taught me patience, love, and attentiveness. I’ve enjoyed caring for others’ pets since I was a kid and have always had a natural connection with animals. Friends and family know they can rely on me to treat every pet like my own- with gentle care and respect for their routines. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and passionate about making pets feel safe and happy while giving their owners true peace of mind. I work flexible hours which gives me the opportunity to take care of your pets when you need me! I am available daily, including weekends for drop-ins or walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I create a calm, positive environment where pets can relax whether we’re out getting exercise or I’m giving extra belly scratches in your home. I also keep open communication with pet parents sending regular updates, photos, and messages, so you can feel confident that your furry friend is happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve always had pets my entire life and care deeply for the health and well being of all animals big or small. I’ve taken care of animals ranging from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. I am pet sitting full time and would love the opportunity to watch your fur babies! I am available mornings, midday, nights, and most weekends. I love to take dogs on walks and play with them in fenced yards or inside. I love to give all animals pets and treats. I am comfortable putting dogs in crates and taking care of feeding schedules.

About: Hi there! My name is Mia. I've lived in Lithia on and off my whole life. I have a dog of my own and my mother previously owned her own pet sitting business. I helped her with her business in the past, so I've cared for dogs (as well as cats, birds, etc.) of all breeds and ages. I also have experience administering shots and oral medications to dogs, as my dog has diabetes. Additionally, my dog is reactive, so I'm comfortable around similar animals. I love all kinds of animals and would love to talk more about looking after your furry friends. I recently left my government job so I currently have full availability. I can take dogs on walks, to the dog park, or anywhere else suitable for animals. Safety is my number one priority when it comes to pets. I want to keep your pet safe, as well as others who may encounter your pet when I'm watching them. As a result, I'd like to know about any aggression or reactive behavior so I know how to handle situations if your pet encounters other people or animals on a walk or otherwise. Additionally, I do not like using retractable leashes on dogs. If you'd like me to care for your dog, please ensure you can provide something other than a retractable leash.

About: I worked in animal rescue for 4 years and then have been on a different pet care app since 2018 where I have a 4.99 rating on 200+ services. I love your pet as much as my own. For walks, I usually let them lead the way and, since it’s their walk, they can spend the time however they’d like — sniffing or walking! I always follow your instruction and my main goal is keeping your pet safe! I work full time from an office in Round Rock but can run home for potty breaks. My husband works from home several days a week so he will be home all day. We’re home on the weekends, as well! Having a stranger walk into your house can be overwhelming and a little scary for pets. I greet them with a big smile and a happy voice so they can see I’m their friend. Additionally, if a pet is nervous, I turn to the side for a non threatening stance and offer my hand to sniff. I will crouch down on my knees if needed. Once we’re pals, I try to spend as much time with them outside as I can so they can get some play time and fresh air!

About: I have had dogs all of my life and have walked big and small, for neighbors, friends and family. I have two cats as well and they are my little teacup tigers. I am currently working part time while attaining my MBA online so I have plenty of free time for pet care. I walk my dogs multiple times a day and clean kitty litter as well. I have had dogs my whole life and they are my favorite family members. I understand just how much our pets mean to us so I will treat your animals like my own.

About: Ever since I was a baby I have always grown up around animals. About four years ago I started watching my grandparents Rottweiler and stayed several nights and days taking him on walks, feeding him, and interacting with him by playing. About five years ago I got into fostering dogs ranging from puppies to adult, and sometimes having several at the same time. I have experience with puppies due to fostering and owning my own, and I have experience with adult dogs from fostering and owning my own. Besides having experience with just dogs I have experienced and taken care of dogs who have had previous surgeries, dogs who have cancer, and dogs who have to take several medications several times a day. I am currently working a part time job M-F from 130-6 and im off on the weekends. I would be able to help in the mornings and around lunch time everyday, and be able to help after work. Although I can not care for animals in my home due to complex regulations when I had dogs I had a fenced in yard and would go outside and interact with them. When I was at other clients homes if they didnt have a fenced in yard I would walk their dog or put them on a leash in their yard.

About: Ive taken care of my own dog for the last 3 years. Max is a friendly American Staffordshire Terrier who loves most small dogs and does well with most medium and large dogs, especially females. Im working on cyber and It certifications to break into the cyber job marker so Im home full time. We occasionally have 10 to 14 year olds in our home but no small children. I have one fur baby to keep your pup company and I can happily crate your dog as well. I dont have a fenced yard yet but I can provide daily walks as well.

About: I have cared for many fur babies ranging from different ages. You can rely on me for your pets to have the utmost care and fun while being taken care of! I am available to pet sit anytime for a while. Currently I am trying to figure out going to school at the moment but it wont affect my pet sitting times for now. Whenever I pet sit in my clients home, Im always aware of my surroundings and clean up any messes made around the house. If I do care overnight, I always wash blankets or bedding used and tidy up the house.

About: As a shelter volunteer and foster home for over 16 years, my partner and I have had many dogs and cats come through our home and find successful forever families. I've faced nearly every temperament, training challenge, and situation, and been incredibly privileged to work with some of the best in dog training (Best Friends, Animal Farm, and others). Separation anxiety and highly active dogs welcome! Your pet will be loved on and treated like family - yet handled by professional, trained rescuers who can handle emergencies. I am available during the day, evenings and weekends to take care of your pet. Not sure if I can accommodate your request? Please send me a message! I have extensive animal handling experience and can handle whatever may happen; from breaking up a disagreement to administering medication if required. High energy dogs are my favorites!
