Dog Walking Raiford

About: I go by He/him and It/its! I've been looking after dogs as soon as I turned 8. I have experience with high-energy animals, as I take care of two at the moment. I have experience administering medication, bathing, walking and tending to the needs of those with skin issues. I am fully available any day of the week, including the weekend, starting 10 AM. However, I am not open on Thursdays until after 5 PM. I do not take requests for boarding at the moment due to the unpredictable nature of my own animals. Though I am open to walking, visits and overnight stays.

“My dog loves it when Jonathan shows up and he always takes great care of her. I would highly recommend Jonathan to trust with your loved ones.”

“Ansley was so helpful walking my fur baby while I was out of town. She updated me daily with breaks and pics, which made leaving my pup behind so much easier for me and for him. She even alerted me to a potential issue with my dog so I could look into it quickly. Would definitely recommend her service to anyone.”

About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.

About: Biggest dog lover! Grown up with dogs my entire life, I currently own a senior yellow lab named Copper 🩵 he’s my best friend! Very experienced in lots of different breeds and temperaments. My pup Copper is my soulmate and I know yours is too, I would be so happy to care for them 🫶🏻 I work full time as a neonatal respiratory therapist and have 3-4 days off per week. I am looking for something productive to fill my time and honestly nothing sounds better! I live on 5 acres with a fenced in yard! We also have a pool that’s available for playtime on hot days! My pup Copper is the sweetest, non-dominant and most easygoing dog and would love to have some company here and there!

“Katrina is an excellent dog walker. She is experienced and knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior. She is also kind and smart. My 2-year-old Myka loves her!! Myka does a full body wag when she sees Katrina (not just her tail), which she only does for her favorite people.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for dogs, cats, fish, chickens, goats, and horses. My family has always had dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Before focusing on college softball, I trained and showed dogs as well as competing in Western Pleasure and barrel racing with horses. These experiences taught me responsibility, patience, and how to confidently care for animals. I will treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits very easily into my weekly routine since I’m currently home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule. I’m taking online summer classes, but I’m able to adjust my study times and work around pet care needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Almost any time of day works for me, and I’m very open to compromising and coordinating with clients to fit their schedule. I’m used to managing busy routines, so I stay organized, communicate clearly, and am reliable with consistent pet care times. I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for every pet’s environment. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, horses, and more, and I’ve also helped train and handle dogs in different settings. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, use secure leash handling, and follow any owner instructions carefully.

About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.

About: What makes me different from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care for each pet. I don't just see it as a job; I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My afternoons and evenings are quite flexible and perfect for pet care! After school gets out around 2 PM, I'm free to dedicate my time to your furry friends. My weekends are completely open, so I can offer full-day care, overnight stays, or even just longer visits to give your pet extra attention. I'm happy to tailor my schedule to meet your specific needs and your pet's routine! I'm also available for check-in visits before 2 PM, if needed, but my availability is limited due to school. General care: I always follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I make sure your home is secure when leaving, and I'm always vigilant about potential hazards to keep your pet safe. Dog walking: I keep dogs on a leash at all times (unless otherwise instructed in a secure area), avoid busy roads, and am always aware of the dog's behavior and surroundings. Overnight stays: I maintain your pet's routine as closely as possible, provide companionship, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep you updated with photos and messages. All services: I treat your home with respect, clean up after your pet, and leave everything as I found it. I'm also always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

About: I’ve been around animals all my life grew up taking care of animals on a farm. And I care for them still everyday. I love animals so much and would love to care for you baby too! I work breakfast shifts at a Family restaurant so i have the rest of the day to take care and watch your furry friends! 😊 I live on a fenced farm, with lots of critters and experience caring for all kinds of animals. I have taken care of farm animals and all kinds since i was a kid.

About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
