Dog Walkers in Ocklawaha, FL

About: My favorite pastime is walking with the dogs. In your neighborhood or in mine, we can go fast or we go slow, just as long as we go! No day is complete without some wags and walks. Does your fur baby need a special day or time for a walk? We can go on a morning run, afternoon walk, or an evening stroll. I do sleepovers! Does your pup want to stay at your place or mine? Either is fine. I have extra room on my couch and a comfy bed for your fur baby to lay their head.

About: Since I was a child, I have always had pets in my house; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, etc. I have experience in basic training, working with senior dogs, medicating dogs, puppies (both caring for and potty training), and body language in dogs. I know much about mannerisms and behavior in dogs as well as how to combat the bad ones. I have worked with all types of dogs, as I have worked in the pet food industry before. I have volunteered with multiple dog rescues in Florida including The Animal League and Hound Haven. I am a certified Canine Training & Behavior Specialist as of 2021. I am currently half way through a pet nutrition course as of 2022. I am currently working at a pet store from 10am to 4pm everyday, except Wednesday and Sunday. They are pretty flexible however and I would be able to take a lunch to let out the pups if needed. I have recently moved to a 3 acre plot, in which we are currently building a doggy haven with tons of fenced in running area and in the future pools and play equipment. If a VIP (very important pet) doesn't have access to a backyard I like to walk 3+ times daily depending on the dog. I feed my dogs twice a day on the best food I make myself. I have literal baskets of dog toys as well as safe chews for the dogs who like to chew. I'd rather not take dogs to a dog park as of the safety issue. I have two horses and 18 chickens that roam on my 3 acres and can take dogs as long as they are on leash to meet them. I live with a roommate who also helps take care of any pets in the house. I have five pets in the house; my pigeon, Sterling who 'rules the roost'; my two ferrets, Dobby & Dougal who love to play; my large (75lbs) dog, Blake who is excited at first then is calm; and my medium (30lbs) dog Akira who is most playful of the bunch. I watch all interactions with my pets and do have 'safety' crates for my pets if any issues of socialization.

“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”

About: Hi there. My name is Elisha. I am recently retired and looking to fill my days with love from your fur baby! I live with my husband and our 2 year old terrier mix, Jack (featured in my photo). We rescued him at the beginning of this year, but have had dogs for the last 15 years. We live in a condo located in a quiet neighborhood. We don't have a fenced in yard, but there is lots of space to run around and it's a very dog friendly neighborhood. I am available for pet sitting, pet boarding, doggy daycare or dog walks. My dog Jack is very friendly and loves to play. One of our favorite weekend activities is meeting new friends at the dog park. Hope to meet your favorite family member soon!

About: Myself and my wife have taken care of dogs ever since we were children we watch Neighbors dogs friends, dogs the kids dogs. We just love having dogs around. They get walked twice a day. We have a dog door that they can go in and out of our fenced yard whenever it suits them I am semi retired, so I have plenty of time to take care and look after your dogs. It gives me great pleasure watching them I have a dog door which enables the dogs to go in and out at their own pace.

About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).

“Ona has been wonderful. I needed to find someone to help my father with his dog because of some health issues and she has been simply GREAT!! Her communication and reliability has been outstanding - especially because I’ve set this up from Colorado. It offers us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone to help walk Jax while my father recovers.”

About: I’ve had small and large breed dogs and cats for 30+ years of my 53+total years. I walk a ton anyway, I might as well get paid to do it. I prefer house sitting and multiple dogs and pets fine with me. I live in the Villages and primarily do Villages and surrounding areas. I moved to the Villages 4/1/2023 and love it. I am single and my only income is from watching and walking pets so I treat this like a profession and love animals.

About: I love owning and caring for animals! I've owned quite a few animals in my lifetime and have cared for animals with varying personalities, ages, and medical requirements. I have a lot of experience with very large dogs including a 150 lb Labrador and German Shepherds, but I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds! I do NOT discriminate with any breed including Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. I will take animals that may have aggressive tendencies but none with a history of physical attacks. My biggest concern is making sure your animal is as comfortable and happy as can be while you are away! I am open to check-ins; Having an animal is like having a child so whenever you want to check in on your buddy, don't be afraid to call. I have open availability right now. When your animal is under my care they will be with me 24/7 meaning frequent walks and bathroom breaks, trips to the park, and any activities your pet enjoys to do with you! Right now I have open availability so whether it’s in the morning or evening just a check in or an overnight stay, I can accommodate! It’s important for me to make sure your pet his giving the attention and love he needs while you’re away! I will always make sure they have plenty of potty breaks and play time! Or snuggles and relaxing, whatever you and your pet prefer.
