Dog Walking Perkins

“Hailey was absolutely amazing! She treated my boy like he was her own. She even arrived a few minutes early to avoid the rain so he could enjoy a full, dry walk. She went above and beyond by cleaning his paws afterward, too. Truly the best walker I’ve ever had on Rover!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs my entire life, from small breeds (Boston Terrier) to big dogs (Great Pyrenees) and have always loved caring for them. I also have years of experience fostering dogs (Golden Retrievers), which has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each dog’s unique personality and needs. As an FSU grad student, I’d love the opportunity to spend my free time giving dogs the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. Growing up, I fostered Golden Retrievers, which taught me a lot about caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two different Great Pyrenees, so I’m very comfortable caring for large dogs and understand the importance of consistent exercise, feeding, grooming, and attention. On top of that, I’ve dog-sat for several friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. Overall, I really enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Growing up fostering Golden Retrievers gave me experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’ve also had two Great Pyrenees, so I’m comfortable with large dogs and understand the importance of proper feeding, exercise, grooming, and attention. I’ve also dog-sat for several friends, which has given me experience adapting to different dogs, routines, and household environments. In a client’s home, I would follow their specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and other daily routines. I also make sure to give pets plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and communicate with the owner about how their pet is doing. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

About: My experience with animals goes beyond caring for my personal household pets for 13 years and my volunteering with shelters/rescues for 3 years. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I take the time to pay attention to those individual differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, social, or needs a little extra patience, my goal is to provide dependable care while helping them feel secure and comfortable in your absence. Your pet’s safety, routine, and wellbeing are always my priority. I’m available Monday through Friday, as well as weekends, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care and accommodate different pet routines and needs. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine and provide the specific care they’re booked for, while also paying attention to the little things that make them feel loved and at ease.

About: I’ve grown up with pets. My parents also used to be breeders. I’ve watched pets. I have a bunch of pets. I don’t know what else to say. I’ve been around pets. I’ve changed pets specifically I’ve had between one dog to six at a time. I’m very used to cats and dogs. Pet care I do it every single day when I get home from school like washing our dogs weekly, feeding them and doing just things on a weekly monthly or daily scheduled based on each of our pets needs and what animal it is. Like if it is our cats, dogs, or our turtle I treat all animals with care as if they’re like children. I think it’s very important to treat animals with care or like they’re another human because they cannot communicate and I believe showing trust in an animal is extremely important. I will always have treats on me just in case All of the pets in my home experience constant love and they’re always around people and very social.

About: Hi, I’m Analia! What separates me from other pet sitters is my unique experiences with animals while working and managing in a corporate setting (a pet store). I know very well the standard of care that the pickiest of clients (and animals!) expect, and my hope is to be allowed to extend such high standards and more to any pets in need of a buddy, and facilitate your peace of mind while they’re under my watch! My love for animals is boundless, and I can assure you that your animal will come back to you feeling super loved and appreciated too :) I am a happy and enthusiastic learner and most of all very, very adaptable to your pet’s individual needs and special requirements as well as your own personal day to day requests. Currently part time with a lottttt of free time in the afternoon! I am able to make drop in visits or walks as need be. I've also worked together with my partner (very loving and a stickler for rules- your rules!) to ensure we cover any gaps in timely care. My partner would be part of the meet and greet should we need to ensure your pets are comfortable and socialized if my visits before and after work do not suffice :) It goes without saying, I will heed whatever tips you have for your pets—they’re your babies after all!!— and I will absolutely make sure their safety and well-being is paramount while in my care! Never off a leash when outside, and always with my phone handy in case of emergencies. (Knock on wood!)

“Stefani can by for a meet&greet walk with my girls before I schedule a visit while I have to be out of town. Feeling good about leaving my girls in her hands for visits and walks.”

“Joanna did such a great job with my husky Maximus! She sent multiple pictures and videos and even took him hiking! She was great with him and I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve loved growing up with dogs and miss taking care of my own! Friends & neighbors have trusted me to care for their furry friends and pet sitting is a simple pleasure of mine. I work full time with fluctuation in my hours through out the week, so I prefer pets who are ok being left alone throughout the day. I’d love to have a conversation about your specific pets and their needs! I get out every morning and evening for a walk and I’d love a pup to join me. I’m able to spend plenty of time with your dog getting them the exercise they need. I live in an apartment on a quiet street so I’d love to take your dog for walks and plenty of potty breaks. I’m comfortable with their crate if that is your preference as well.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a dog of my own, and I love helping family and friends care for their animals as well. Im currently a full time student at Florida State, I also work part time for the university. I am available all mornings before my classes, and am available all evenings after 5pm. I also am free all day on most weekends! I always prefer to watch pets in the comfort of their own home. I know it can be a tough adjustment for them to stay in places they aren’t familiar with. So I prefer to make sure they are as comfortable as can be.

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life, mainly dogs. I have owned a variety of breeds but mainly chihuahuas, and now care for my German Shepherd and two cats daily. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training basics, and reading pet body language to keep animals safe and comfortable. I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, including caring for a diabetic dog requiring insulin injections and a special diet. I’m confident administering medication, following routines precisely, and monitoring health needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Your animal’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. I update my availability based on my class schedule. I’m looking to use my extra time doing something I enjoy like caring for animals. My schedule allows me to be available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure while you’re away. In your home, I want to know feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, preferred walking routes, and any house rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior that might signal stress or discomfort. I keep a calm, clean environment and ensure pets have fresh water and attention tailored to their energy level. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident trusting me with your pets and for them to feel safe, loved, and respected in my care.

About: Hi! I'm a recent MFA graduate from FSU, dog owner, and long-time pet lover and foster mom. I have worked with a pretty wide variety of dogs from my time volunteering and fostering for a rescue when I lived in Gainesville. (I also worked at the UF vet college for 4 years, in an administrative capacity.) I have some experience with cats too, including a cat that needed insulin shots. I just graduated with a master's degree in writing and am looking for gig-type work that allows me writing time. Currently my schedule is very open! I am 40 and have a little more life experience than many local sitters. I have experience giving medication and injections. Happy to answer any questions you have about safety.

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a kid. I thrive in situations where I can go for walks or jump and play with pups! While I do love dogs incredibly so, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t the biggest cat-lover anyone’s ever met. Whether they want to be left alone or are the worlds biggest cuddle bugs, I’m top notch at caring for them! I have a 5 year old reactive german shepherd who’s been my best friend for 5 years now, as well as a 8 yr old kitty that I rescued when she was about 6 weeks! I definitely look at them as my children and love them unconditionally. I currently work full time for FSU in a mostly remote position so my availability is extremely flexible! I also am a Tallahassee real estate agent. My jobs grant me a ton of flexibility to work in hanging out with your pets throughout the day :) I have a fully fenced backyard, as well as a very playful german shepherd dog. I’m very good with reading dog/cat body language so I can anticipate what they need/want. I focus on safety and will redirect if I anticipate a safety hazard coming up (such as a cat biting/playing with a small ball or trying to get out a front door)

About: Reliable, experienced pet sitter with a soft spot for senior animals and those with medical needs. I offer feeding, overnight stays, medication administration, and light housekeeping so you can actually relax while you're away. I know how important routine is—especially for pets who thrive on structure and familiarity. Whether your pet needs a special diet, meds, or just someone to hang out with, I’m all about providing low-stress, loving care that keeps them comfortable and cared for. I work 7:45-1:30 most days, so while I have an early start, I still have plenty of time throughout the day to spend with your pets and give them all the love and attention they need! I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort. I’m respectful of your space and aim to keep things clean, quiet, and calm. For overnight stays, I also include light housekeeping so you return to a tidy home. Whether it’s feeding, medication, or just keeping your pet company, I focus on safety, trust, and providing low-stress, consistent care while you’re away.

About: Starting in 2020, I have provided pet-sitting services for dogs, cats, lizards, and fish as needed, including administering medications for pets when required and staying overnight as needed. In my personal life, I have had pets my entire life. Currently, I have two dogs (a pitbull-lab mix and a Pekingese). I also have experience taking care of rodents, including hamsters and guinea pigs. I am currently a student at Florida State University, and I have a flexible schedule. I can balance sitting tasks alongside my schoolwork and classes. I will prioritize your pet's comfort in your own house and ensure that they feel safe and secure with me in their presence. I have experience staying with pets as well as taking them out and walking them, as I offer varied services depending on the pet's needs and habits.

“Katie was exceptional. She showed up on time, she was pleasant, she treated my dog like her own, and went above and beyond on the walks. We are so happy with her attention to detail and care.”

About: My experience as a pet sitter sprouts directly from my heart! Loving your animals in addition to my reliability, communication, and responsibility is why this job was meant for me. I have been pet sitting for a very long time, and treating your pets like my own is my #1 priority. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule like it’s an academic class. I am a college student at Florida State and have lots of pockets during my day to spend time with your pets! When I meet and greet I try to take in as much information about the pets and their owners as possible, so when I enter their home to care for their pets I can do everything for the pet that owners would do!

“She is great, highly recommended!”

“Kathy is great! My puppy is scared of all new people at the age he’s at but he took to Kathy and has enjoyed his time with her. She is very communicative and pays attention to your pets needs :)”

About: Hi, my name is Catherine and I am looking to help out by walking dogs and performing drop-in visits! I’ve grown up with dogs in the home for my entire life. We have had many different sizes and breeds, allowing me to become more familiar with different behaviors and tendencies. I also had a private dog sitting job where I watched 2 dogs and a cat on weekdays. I would walk the dogs, prepare them dinner, and play with them at the park. This job allowed me to learn how to handle dogs other than my own. I love animals and will make sure to treat them well. I will be able to come to the house and feed, walk, and clean up after the pets. I can give them medicine if needed, and prepare food specially if needed. I will play with them or simply walk them around. Since I am working part time, I will have free time. However, my schedule is not exactly the same each week. I will choose bookings around that schedule to ensure that I am free. Tuesdays I don’t work, so I would be completely free. Most days I would be free in the morning or evening. I am ready to help and meet new animals!! I work part time at Publix, but will definitely be able to dog sit. I have lots of free time and am excited to spend it with animals. I have a fenced in yard. I have 2 dogs, but one lives with my mom. One dog is in home with me. They are both friendly.

“Ally is wonderful! Jackson had a great time. Totally recommend Ally.”
