Dog Walkers in Ocklawaha, FL

About: Hello, my name is Hailey and I have 10 years of experience in pet care. I am a proud cat and dog momma and would be happy to love on your fur babies as if they were my own. I started volunteering for the Marion County Animal Shelter in 2021 and have also worked at a veterinarian office for a short period of time, so I am familiar with the responsibility and care necessary for your animals. I hope I have the opportunity to meet you and your furry family. Currently, I am in between jobs and finding the right career path for me. So my schedule isn't consistent at the moment, but I am always willing to make time for your furry friends before or after work. I am available to provide any services you may need as long as I can work something out with my job. With over 10 and a half years of experience, I have worked with almost all breeds, from Basset Hounds to German Shepherds. Currently, I share my home with two Siberian huskies, a basset hound, a beagle, and a car. If you need a reliable, caring and experienced pet sitter or dog walker, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

“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: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.

About: I absolutely adore animals big and small and love taking care of them, always have. I was practically born into this world caring for my beloved dog and best friend, Chadwick, until his last days. I went on to care for many other furry and scaly friends. I also have extensive experience taking care of my former landlords' 3 dogs that I lived with for a year. I am now grown and no longer have pets of my own, but that means good news for you! I am completely free to take care of your pets! I can take them for a walk or take care of them in your own home when you are unable. Even if your pet needs extra care, I am willing to put in the work and give them the attention and love they require. I can't wait to meet them and you! I am completely open to any and all booking times that you might require. Longer bookings are also welcome and workable. Please reach out with any questions or concerns you might have! I am extremely respectful of clients’ spaces and will leave it better than it looked. I always ensure any mess created by myself or the pets is cleaned.

“Teri continues to be my dog’s favorite dog walker for those times I need an extra hand. She is so sweet to Bella and they love each other so much! Terri continues to be reliable and punctual, and I hope that she continues to be available when I need her.”

About: I have had a passion to care for dogs since 1996. I am friendly, caring, and very compassionate. I am very attentive to their needs. I listen well to instructions given by the pet owner and will respect your guidelines for your furry companion. I have skills in senior care, including administering medication, flea treatment, bathing, and grooming. I am currently attending college to become a medical assistant. I love animals and my goal at the end of the day is making sure you and your pet is happy! I am a bit of an early riser, as I wake up by 6 AM or 9 AM in the morning. I accept bookings as late as 5 PM. Your pet needs are #1 always! I take care of the pets in my home by feeding, watering, giving play time, walking, potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours. All cords and items that pose choking hazards and are toxic will be stored away. Doors to the bedroom and bathroom will be shut to prevent them from digging in the trash. I will make sure the kitchen is free of any particles that are not allowed to be consumed within my home. In the client's home, I will ensure that I have the pet's attention and clean up after myself. I will ensure that every item of trash is safely disposed of and that the pet remains healthy and safe under my care, regardless of where I am with the pet.

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.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was 7 years old. I have no children, outside of my gentle giant Taz- a TN mountain cur, who is a service animal. He’s been with me for the last four years, well-traveled, and well-behaved. I WFH so I have ample time to get to know your fur baby. We will play, visit the dog park(s) in the area, and enjoy plenty of cuddle time. I offer bathing service, pickup services (within 30 miles) and can even cook to accommodate sensitive diets. I specialize in working with dogs that require extra special attention, such as those with separation anxiety. I have availability 7x a week, since I work from home M-F with weekends off. Whether you need a simple daycare service or overnight boarding, your baby will be right at home. While my dog has NO aggression(s) - such as kid, food, cat/dog - I understand not everyone will feel comfortable with interactions. I offer a XL crate and a separate room for babies with anxiety or that require isolation. Otherwise, your baby can feel free to stretch out in the sun in the yard or wherever is comfortable.

“Great experience with Jessica! She is friendly, reliable and great with our senior dogs. She took great pics during their walks too. I will definitely call on her again.”

“Jill kept in contact and sent me photos of my dog on his walks. He's quite a strong puller and can be difficult to handle but Jill was great with him. Highly recommend.”

“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”

“Bri went above and beyond. She took such care of Sam, that as far as we're concerned she is family now. Her care is irreplaceable. I can't say enough good things. Thank you, so much Bri!”

“Susan has repeatedly cared for our dog Mossy in our home and brought her into her home for longer visits. She tends to Mossy's mastif needs with great care, including daily walks, her specific meal needs, giving oral medications, putting in her ear drops, and playtime with all of her many toys. She manages to keep Mossy calm when she gets anxiety from separation or storms. I would highly recommend her to any dog lover!”

“Sarah was great! above and beyond. She took great care of my dog.Kept in constant communication with updates and pictures. I will continue to use her in the future. Book with Sarah if you want your dog to be taken care of.”

About: I have always had animals in my life my entire life. My first job was at a dog kennel as a kennel attendant. My family has even fostered animals and helped them find their forever homes. I currently work for the Humane Society. I am currently a part time college student, but I will have plenty of time with your fur babies. Willing to make yours and my schedule work. At the moment I am not accepting animals at my home, but I am willing to go to client's homes to care for their fur babies. Anywhere from letting them outside to play and go for walks to making sure they have food, water, and a clean bed to relax in.

About: I have had experience taking care of dogs all of my life, especially German Shepherds. I am known as the neighborhood dog-sitter in Harbor Hills, and my focus is on loving the dog while reassuring the owners with photos and updates. Whether the dog is large or small, the amount of love and care I provide does not falter. I am the type of person who thrives on lists and schedules; as soon as something is added to my routine, I follow it. If I am being honest, taking care of dogs becomes one of the highlights in my day/week. Whether I have one or five dogs, I take pride in bringing them love and care, just as they do for me. I usually only care for pets in their homes for a couple of reasons. This makes it easier for the dog to feel safe and at ease when meeting a new person in their own home. In addition, all of the dog's toys and other necessities are always nearby. I normally ask for a list provided by the owner if they have a certain schedule for feeding, medicine, or walking. Finally, I provide regular updates by sending owners photos of their dogs or even offering to FaceTime if they miss their pup. I know I would want that for my dog!

“Derek was great! Sent pictures everyday. Communicated wonderfully.”

About: I have experience with small to extra large breeds. I have worked with a professional trainer to train my dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs with special needs. I truly have a love for all animals. I will treat your loved ones as I would want mine treated in my absence. Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a teacher. I would love to care for your furbabies after-school and on the weekends/holidays. I am off during the summer months and can provide care during the day. I have a fenced yard and my own cats and dogs to keep your pet from feeling lonely. I have crates as well as playpens. I try very hard to keep my home safe and clean, however it is a pet and kid friendly home.

About: I’ve adopted many dogs over the years and attended puppy kindergarten classes many times with those rescues. Currently foster dogs for local rescue and provide training to help facilitate finding good homes. Volunteer for both dog and equine rescues. Have my own horse but travel for work so don’t currently have my own dog. I work weekends, so I’m available mid week Monday through Thursday days or overnights. I’m available for daily walks, or for short term overnight care in your home. I walk my dog three times a day and visit the dog park for off leash time several days a week. Although my dog is allowed on my couch, I would inquire and respect your choices in terms of where the dog is allowed to sleep or relax. I feed Quality kibble mixed with hello a healthy combination of pumpkin, coconut oil, and supplements, and would be happy to share my gut happy recipe.
