Dog Walking Ocklawaha

“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!”

“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 grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.

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 currently have a business from my home. If I have any markets, I would have to leave during the day for about 4-6 hours to handle that and possibly longer hours due to markets themselves. 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.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.

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.

“Great job”

About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.

“Taylor took great care of Pixie while we were out for a long day. She took her on a couple of long walks and sent us lots of updates. She was very professional!”

About: I have fur baby myself, an American Pit bull named Pooh Shiesty. I cared for him since a pup and I would love to spend more time with your pets. I have pet sit for a couple of family friends pets, so I have experience walking, feeding, and handling animals. I work part time, as well as being in school full time. I have pretty flexible schedule that allows me to work mornings and afternoons Mon, Wed, and Fri as well as sometimes on the weekends. I can be flexible for you and your pets needs.😊 I stay in an apartment complex with a fenced area for pets to play freely. I am also comfortable with going wherever your pet is most comfortable that fits their schedule and needs.

“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.”

About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.

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: 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).

About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
