Dog Walking South Seminol Heights

About: Started dog-walking/-sitting in my pre-teens. Owned 3 dogs during this time (two part-Lab and one Great Dane. All rescues). Kept a small, growing business which consisted of walking or being paid to stay a week with a dog. This continued until early 20s. Have since continued to sit family's, friends', and family friends' dogs over the years. No matter the size or breed I always manage to find a friend in new dogs. Epileptic, old, and those requiring medicine are not a problem. Whether or not they adhere to commands isn't a problem. I've had very obedient dogs and known many that ran the house. Either way, we'll get along fine. I'm only out of the house for 6 hours at most. My old lady used to need a lot of attention, so I'm used to life revolving around a dog upon entry, before leaving, and taking a break every 30 minutes to give some love. Private back lawn. I have a designated spot in a public walkway for food and water but can move as needs depict. Doors to back rooms are shut when not being used. Nothing heavy or sharp that can fall or come in contact with your pet. I had a 17.5 year old so the house was made as safe as possible for her.

“Johnny is by far the best Rover I have ever had take care of my girl, Lucy. He truly just loves dogs and I am so grateful to him for giving me peace of mind while I have to leave my pup on long work days. Truly 10/10”

About: I treat every pet like family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, patient, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they always know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Pet care is something I truly enjoy and naturally make time for every day. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can give pets the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. I love going on walks, playing, cuddling, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. I know how much pets mean to their owners, so I treat every animal with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing they’re in loving and dependable hands. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I always follow each owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions because I know consistency helps pets feel secure. I’m very active and love being outdoors. I walk my own dog every day, usually around the Riverwalk and Bayshore, and we average about 4 miles a day. Because of that, I’m happy caring for dogs that enjoy long walks, exercise, and plenty of playtime, while also understanding that some pets simply want companionship, cuddles, and a calm environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and regular updates so their owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Victoria has been so easy to work with! She’s very thorough, timely, takes adorable pics, and my pup seems to love her already. Highly recommend!”

“Britni is super awesome!! Communicates super well and I feel confident my dog is well taken care of while I’m not there.”

“AJ has been walking both of our cane corsos for a few months - they are large and one of them takes a while to warm up to people. Through the whole process he has been patient, kind, and respectful and has gained the full trust and friendship of my big pups. He goes out of his way to make them comfortable and they just LOVE his walks, visits, and belly rubs. I couldn’t recommend AJ more.”

About: From a young age, we’ve nurtured a deep love for animals, caring for a wide range of pets with tenderness and compassion. We’ve always felt a strong connection to the animals we look after, seeing them as beloved companions. One of our proudest achievements is raising our dog from a puppy, guiding her through training to become a well-behaved, affectionate adult. We’ve also had the privilege of caring for a neighbor’s senior dog, providing comfort and companionship. This experience reflects our genuine passion for animals and our commitment to their happiness and well-being. We work remote with flexible work hours and have a dog of our own. She often goes for walks and of course requires some belly scratches. Our home has a fenced in yard and we personally have a 8 year old cocker spaniel that loves to play but then also likes to chill. She matches the energy around her. We do not have dog crates, if your fur baby is crate trained, we request you provide a crate for their stay.

“Isabella was great! She communicates great, and kept my pup happy while I had to travel to another city. I booked short notice and it wasn’t a problem!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here.

I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.

“Nigel carried my "baby" home the other day because she couldn't make it back on her own. He let me know and checked back in with between visits to see if she was ok. I knew Nigel was special since he began helping me with my dog but he went above and beyond, carrying a 65 pound pit bull home instead of dragging her and using harsh commands. I'm so glad I found him! He is truly a gift.”

Not to mention i have been around dogs my whole life, my mom had 3 growing up. i realized that although im able to make money from this, it doesn't feel like a job to me at all because i absolutely love animals and i feel good taking care of them. i can say that i have found my passion in the process. i provide 5 star service and keep great communication with the owners. i am very trustworthy, and have many references to support my claims which are available upon request. i love what i do and if you allow me the opportunity to show you, i will provide great value to you and your pet’s needs. i am able to fulfill custom requests as well. anything else you would like to know just ask me, i am very transparent and personable.

About: As a YouTube writer for Chewy, I spent years immersed in the pet world—learning from veterinarians, trainers, behaviorists, and the animals themselves. That experience taught me how to notice the little things: body language, emotional signals, changes in behavior, and the unique routines that help each pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs, puppies, senior pets, cats, and dog-reactive dogs, and I’m comfortable administering medication. Most importantly, I know there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, quirks, routines, and preferences so they feel cared for and you feel 100% assured they’re being loved on while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable pet care throughout the day. I have a regular walking routine with my own dog, plus fully fenced front and backyards for safe outdoor time. I’m also available to make drop-in visits to homes in my area, while keeping pets’ routines, exercise needs, and individual personalities in mind. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced front and backyard, daily walks, and a calm routine alongside my own dog. I’ll follow your pet’s schedule, preferences, and comfort level so they feel at home. For care in your home, my TrustedHousesitters experience has taught me to be respectful, tidy, communicative, and mindful of your space. I’ll care for your pets and home as thoughtfully as I would my own.

About: I've had fur babies for 14+ years now. Neighbors, friends and family members have trusted me with their love ones for periods of time and we have had an amazing connection and experience! I actually work from home with a very flexible schedule. This allows me to watch the furbabies closely everyday and help taking multiple breaks during the day. Also, very flexible on making visits during the day. I have big fenced yard where babies can run and enjoy time outside. Love walking, so if visiting your babies at your place, I'd more than happy to provide whatever amount of walking they need to reset. Happy to give them company and share trust with you that your babies and home will be safe once I leave.

About: I’m a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet lover who understands that your pets are family. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets plenty of affection, playtime, walks, and companionship. I currently own a cleaning business, so I am available several times throughout the day as they make my own schedule. I will always make time to take care of your dogs and cats. I will always follow your direction in caring for your fur babies. I do always have extra items on me and follow all leash laws and neighborhood guidelines.

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have two cats of my own, and growing up I was surrounded by multiple cats and dogs. At one point, there were nine cats living at my mother’s house! My sisters have also always had multiple dogs, and I continue to help care for and walk their dogs today. I understand that every pet has a different personality. Some animals are energetic and playful, while others are shy, nervous, or prefer to have some space. I’m patient and take the time to let pets become comfortable with me at their own pace. Building trust and making sure an animal feels safe and relaxed is very important to me. When caring for cats, I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, play with them using their favorite toys, give them attention and companionship, and make sure they are comfortable while you're away. I’m also happy to spend extra time with cats that enjoy company, while respecting cats that are more independent. When caring for dogs, I can take them on walks, let them out into a secure gated yard when available, play fetch or other games with them, and give them plenty of attention and exercise. I’m happy to follow your normal routine and instructions so your dog can maintain as much consistency as possible while you're away. I can also follow specific instructions you provide regarding feeding schedules, where your pet is allowed to go in the house, favorite toys, walking routines, and other preferences. My goal is simple: to treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention that I would want someone to give my own animals. I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and comfortable while you're away. I'm currently free to pet sit every weekday so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so we can go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions. When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would give my own. Before the first visit, I’m happy to have a meet-and-greet so you can show me your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, favorite activities, where they are allowed to go, and anything else I should know. I pay close attention to doors, gates, fences, and other potential escape routes, especially when entering or leaving the home. I make sure pets have access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable environment, and I follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and where your pet should stay. For dogs, I provide safe walks and supervised outdoor time. I keep them on a leash unless you specifically provide a secure fenced area where off-leash play is appropriate. For cats, I make sure doors and windows are secure and give them a calm environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I’m also respectful of your home. I’ll keep things clean and organized, follow any household instructions you provide, and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big responsibility. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I'm also willing to send photos and updates to you during visits with your pets.

About: I’m a dogs best friend, I like walking and being outside as much as they do! I grew up in a dog household and then began caring for dogs in clients homes for over 15 years now. I’ve taken care of 5 dogs, 5 cats and 15 rabbits at one time in one household before! I’ve never trained my own pets but I’ve assisted with training by enforcing the clients training commands and wishes. Im in good shape and can hike or go for extra long walks if you have an active animal. I’ll love and treat your dog as if it were my own. I think dogs are the best listeners and I love to mirror their unconditional love. I have several references to put you in contact with per request. I have a flexible schedule right now and would love to fill my open hours with pet visits and dog walking. I’m often available for last minute bookings. I have a fully fenced in backyard available for your dog to run. I do not have my own crates so a crate would need to be provided if necessary.
