Dog Walking in Ocala

About: I've had the joy of having dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I've also gained experience taking care of birds, bunnies, and chickens. As a retired couple, we're home all the time and have a spacious, half-acre fenced yard where your pets will feel safe and comfortable. With our flexible schedule, we're able to offer both boarding and daycare services, and we promise to treat your pets like they're part of our family. Whether it's cuddling with our dogs and cats or caring for other animals, we're always ready to provide the love and attention your pets deserve. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I organize my schedule around the pets I care for to ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and rest. Since I only accept a maximum of 3 pets at a time for boarding or daycare, I’m able to give each one the personalized care they deserve. This also helps me create a calm and safe environment, especially for smaller dogs, as it prevents them from feeling overwhelmed or at risk around larger or more energetic pets. Safety, trust, and a welcoming environment are at the core of how we care for pets in our home. Our spacious, half-acre fenced yard ensures your pets have a secure and safe space to play, explore, and relax. We take great pride in creating a calm, loving atmosphere where pets feel at ease. As a retired couple, we're home all the time, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. With our experience caring for a variety of animals, we focus on building trust and making sure each pet is comfortable, happy, and well-looked after. You can rest assured knowing that we treat your pets like they are our own, offering a safe, caring environment while they’re in our care.

About: Living on a farm back at home has given me a strong love for animals. My main goal when I’m around animals is to make sure they are comfortable and feeling safe. Pets are here to make us happy but I want the same for them as well! 💝 I am currently a full time student at the College of Charleston and start classes around 11pm everyday. I have breaks in the afternoon between classes and am done most days around 5, if not earlier. Morning, lunch, and evening would be how I would fit pet care into my daily routine. I want the pets i care for to feel comfortable with me in their home. I don’t want them to feel like I’m taking over their safe space and their territory. I want them to have trust with me.

“My dog is fearful of any new people and Lorraine was so patient with him! She knew just what to do and is truly a dog lover. It is such a relief to know we have someone willing to work at our pups pace and comfort level.”

“Courtney has built such a wonderful bond with my dog, Clifford—he absolutely lights up every time she visits. Her communication is exceptional; she keeps me consistently updated, sends photos, and always checks in, which gives me total peace of mind. She even goes the extra mile by notifying me when packages arrive and sending photos of where they’re placed. Courtney has an incredible personality, is genuinely kind and trustworthy, and takes care of Clifford as if he were her own. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker and highly recommend her.”

About: Howdy! I’m a EMT student trying to incorporate my love for animals in with keeping in shape for my next career. I’ve lived and worked on farmland all my life — I’m not phased by aggressive *livestock*, much less a reactive dog! I spend a lot of my time currently training dogs for people in need, and working with shelters to help their nervous dogs develop some adoptable skills. I’ve also been volunteering with disabled animals (wildlife and domestic alike) since I was in middle school, in rehab facilities and as a home foster, and I’m very accustomed to delivering meds to all the most resistant patients. They’re a part of my daily function — they eat when I eat, I don’t go for runs without them, and if I’m going to any pet-friendly store they can behave in, they’re already in the car. My pets and any others in my care are not only my first priority in terms of safety, but in fun! My career and lifestyle has had me naturally trained in pet aggression and reactivity, including muzzles and muzzle training, crate training, heavy leash pulling etc.

About: Having a dog of my own allows me to understand what it feels like to have help from a new person. I will be very accommodating to your pets needs and make sure I send pictures so you know you pet is happy and well taken care of when I am needed. I bring a deep understanding of animals that comes from personal experience and genuine love. I’ve raised both a dog and a cat from a young age, so I truly understand the patience, attention, and care they need at every stage of life. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes—from playful puppies and tiny breeds to large, energetic dogs—as well as cats with unique personalities. Whether it’s senior care, daily walks, or just providing comfort while you’re away, I treat every animal like family. I’m calm, reliable, and always focused on making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I am mainly available on the weekends! I am currently pursuing becoming a pharmacist but it costs lots to do so. That’s why I love to take my passion of animals and help everyone around with there furry friend. I have one dog who would love playing with any other dog and keep them company. I have a car so I can come to you and walk your dog or stop in to help your animal!

About: I’ve taken care and owned all kinds of animals since I was young, from hamsters, fish & birds to cats and dogs. I have several years experience dog and cat sitting alike and currently have a cat of my own. I also have experience administering oral and topical medication if needed. No ask is too much! I work from home, so house-sitting is no problem as long as I have wifi! I’m also flexible with drop-in visits because of my job. I’ve had several cats of my own and have lived with various dog breeds/sizes. I have experience with crate trained dogs as well.

About: I have dog sat for two family friends on six separate occasions, helping with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping their dogs company while they were away. I always try to follow the owner’s instructions carefully because I know every dog has its own routine, personality, and needs. I am patient, responsible, and gentle with pets, and I enjoy making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are gone. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for and spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 12 PM. My schedule gives me enough flexibility to do check-ins, feedings, playtime, walks, and make sure your cats or dogs feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I have a fenced yard, which is great for supervised outdoor time and play. I always make sure pets have fresh water, food according to their routine, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I also follow each owner’s instructions carefully because every pet has different needs, habits, and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet’s normal routine is kept as consistent as possible.

Visits are typically extended and can be scheduled multiple times per day or customized based on your pet’s needs. During visits I handle feeding, enrichment, companionship, cleanup, and well-being checks. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my days around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention and timely visits. I plan my calendar carefully so I’m not overbooked and can give each household focused, reliable care. I’m available for extended daytime and evening visits and can provide multiple visits per day based on your pet’s needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions closely and keep routines consistent to reduce stress for pets. I remain only in authorized areas of the home and am very mindful about cleanliness and security, I make it a point to leave the home tidy and well maintained after each visit. With my Animal Science background and veterinary setting experience, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior, appetite, hydration, and general health. I take precautions with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and medication directions. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and informed while away.

“Great with Zulu! Nadia has been absolutely wonderful walking our standard poodle, Zulu. She keeps a great pace and covers a solid distance on every walk—which is exactly what Zulu needs to stay healthy and happy. You can tell she truly enjoys being with dogs, and Zulu always comes back from their outings relaxed and content. Nadia is punctual, professional, and communicative. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and actually gets them moving!”
