Dog Walkers in Sumner, FL

About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 4 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only outside. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 4 spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.

About: 10 years of Veterinary technician experience as well as a degree in veterinary tech from St Pete College. Dog training also available at the local club in Chiefland. Love all ages of dogs AND cats. I recently stepped away from my vet tech job of 10 years to care for my newborn. I have availability almost everyday and several times a day if needed. I have 5 dogs, 1 cat, and sheep that live at my house. I also breed, show, and participate in several sports with my Australian Cattle Dogs. I will not be able to care for client animals at my home due to all the animals. I will most likely bring my infant with me during care at your home but will be mindful in safety for your pet as well as my child.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old love knowing that somebody’s baby has someone to snuggle and play. No matter what. I’m currently a single mom with a huge flexibility work from home open hours. Whenever you need your baby to be watched, I will be available. I can always guarantee there will be lots of snuggles, playtime, proper exercise, diet, and all-around fun. Will always leave pawsitively happy, loved, nurtured, & tired!

About: Hi, I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs! I offer boarding, walking, and house-sitting, and specialize in everything from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve worked with repeat clients over the years and am comfortable handling structured routines, medication schedules, and special dietary needs. My late senior dog Jake, who passed in July 2021, taught me just how rewarding it is to give older pets the comfort and compassion they deserve. On the flip side, I’ve also fostered plenty of puppies, and currently have a 5 month old pup of my own named Spur! I know how important it is to keep them active, consistent, and safe as they grow. Cats are a big part of my care experience too – I’ve bottle-fed kittens and cared for elderly cats needing daily medications, ear drops, special foods, and that gentle, patient touch only a true cat person can give. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, a quiet cuddle session, or just keeping things calm and consistent while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I'm working from home with pet-sitting, photography, and marketing jobs! I am very flexible in terms of travel and overall availability. Early mornings, afternoons, nights - I'm your gal! I have a big yard with many in-ground leads for the dogs to play safely without escape! My other two (very kind) fur babies will keep them company while they're away from home. While we do have cats, they are very independent creatures and usually reside in one room of our home. Easy to shut off for those who don't love felines!

About: I am a 54 year old single female. I have owned several pets throughout my life from newborn pups to elderly. I currently have 4 dogs and 3 adult children (1 grandchild) that I care for. I have experience walking all types of dogs, individually or in a group. I am available to house sit as well as pet sit. And not to worry, my pets are loved and well taken care of by my adult children while I take care of yours. I have been caring for my family and friends pets and children almost my entire life - I have plenty of love to share with all of your pets. I can even care for your plants if needed. 😊 I live in Lecanto and I am only available in the evenings Monday through Thursday after 6PM. But I am available FULL TIME Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is my dream to spend my later years caring and loving for animals. I am interested in making caring for and loving pets my full time job, so I am more than interested in full time positions. I would love to leave my current day job behind and make my passion for animals my full time job. Your pets and your home will be treated as if they are my own. I live in a nice subdivision and keep my back yard fenced for the dog’s freedom and security. As I have several pets already I would be caring for or walking your pets in your home / neighborhood. I will send photos and videos of your pets as I care for them so you can feel at ease while away from your pet(s).

“Miranda was great and even took howie to play at the tennis courts like I do and he loves!! She communicated with me everytime she came to walk and let my young guy get his energy out! Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi, My name is Dan, and I love animals. I have over 30 yrs. Of experience with cats, dogs, horses and rabbits, as I grew up on a farm. I am available to walk your dogs, feed your dogs, cats, or other animals, etc, on short term notice. I am patient, attentive, and if you are going to be gone, I ask that you book my services for twice a day. I am also willing to possibly house sit, as long as you understand that my own furry children would be coming along with me. I did grow up on a farm, the only animals I really don't feel comfortable with are rats or snakes. If I don't accept a booking, it is most likely due to a scheduling conflict or personality differences. Animals are just like people. It is stressful enough for them meeting new people, so if they or I look uncomfortable, I'd rather not accept the booking. I am non confrontational and it's never anything personal. Dog Walking: If you book for me to walk your dogs, please know that I can only handle one large, two medium, or three small dogs at the same time. I also do not mix multiple clients, so if I am walking your dog (s), then I am walking your dog (s)! Drop In Visits: Some people prefer twice a day, others once. I am willing to do either, provided that the cat (s)/ dog (s) in question have plenty of dry food, water, etc, available at all times. House sitting: Yes, I am available for house sitting! If you only need me for one night, I am available at the last minute for those who are in Lubbock, Texas. If you need me for more than 1 night, I will need a separate bedroom where I can keep my own two girls. As much as I love what I do, and would love to help you out, I can't just leave my own girls behind. My cats are house broken, fixed, and have traveled with me many times in the past. For extended stays of more than 5 days, I am willing to travel further than just here in Lubbock. There is no additional charge for extra animals on house sitting. I have my own two cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. I'm self employed so I can set my own schedule, as I do this and other gig jobs right now. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own two are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are less traveled, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority.

About: I am a very trusting passionate pet owner. My husband loves animals and is great with them as well, hes always available to help. I have been a pet owner all my life, and consider them family. We have 6 dogs in the house, and a fully fenced yard. I am also the rescue coordinator for a tampa based rescue. I have administered medication to animals in the past, so i am experienced with that. We are able to take any type of dog, we are able to keep pets separate if needed. I volunteer with many shelter In tampa and have references as needed. I am a stay at home dog mom and business owner. I am home all day minus errand runs. Dogs will go outside many times a day on schedule. We have several crates and baby gates to keep dogs separate if needed. All our dogs are crate trained and are able to be put up in a dangerous situation.

About: I've taken care of babies of both the human and fur variety since I was about 13. Along with having dogs and cats of my own, I have volunteered at pet rescues in my free time as well :) I am currently taking a break from full time work so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and give them the attention they deserve so you can rest easy knowing they are taken care of! My roommates have two scaredy cats at our apartment so unfortunately I'm not able to host your pets at my residence. However, I am open to walking and sitting pets big and small otherwise!

About: I have a dog named Cooper that loves to run, play and snuggle. I have a basic knowledge of taking care of dogs. I am extremely good at following instructions for pet care. I work full time as a Firefighter/ Paramedic. I work 24 hours on and 48 off. I am typically available most of my off days and have time I can set aside for pet care. Currently i take my dog to a nearby baseball field that he lives to run and play catch at. I also put my dog in dog daycare on the days that I work. My wife picks him up after she is done at work. I have abiut a half an acre at home (not fenced, but I do have cables so my dog can roam as he pleases). I am most definitely trust worthy and respectful in anyone's home that I enter.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 10. I’ve always felt a need to protect dogs from any harm, kind of like my second nature. I love being around dogs and making an impact on them whether its teaching them a new trick or just playing with them to make them happy. Can walk, feed, and bathe your pets! Im currently working a part time job, ready to take care of your pups whenever you need me. I am flexible as long as you give me a good heads up. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own with whatever instructions you give me. They will always be safe as I take a lot of precaution to make sure everything is set and good for them.

About: I've had dogs basically all my life since around the age of 6. I am a proud Dog Dad to a beautiful Wooly-coated Husky. I love caring for animals, sometimes I feel like I am more of an animal person than a people person! While I mainly have an open schedule, I do have other business ventures I tend to. I ask that you please reach out prior to booking to ensure I am fully able to accommodate the days needed for your booking. I can definitely guarantee your pet will have a great experience. I will provide regular updates as needed. My main goal is for your four-legged family member to have the best time possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the day I was born. I’ve grown up around hunting dogs and cared for a dog with severe health issues including epilepsy. I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m home full time, able to provide pet care whenever. I’m currently searching for a job so this may change in the future, but for now I am an open book. My dogs ran our household, one of my dogs was missing a leg and still needed to play frisbee and run every day. I like to stay active with my dogs and my clients’ as well!

About: I have a lot of people on my behalf that would recommend me to sit your animals. I have the biggest heart for every animal! Dog sitting fits my schedule very well, with weekday availability after 5 PM for walks, feeding, and care, and flexible, devoted time throughout my weekends. I prefer to watch your animal at your home, ensuring comfort and familiarity for them, unless an emergency happens that requires alternate arrangements for their care.

About: I grew up around animals. My family gave me the first thing to love, animals. Now we have 4 dogs. We’re a big and happy family with them. I love every pet as if they were my own. Working from home. That’s why my time is dedicated towards caring for animals. I’m flexible, and available for any place any time of the week. I graduated with a bachelor’s in pre school education. That’s why I know how to keep a safe and under control environment. I will take care of your animal because I know how important your animal is for you.

About: With volunteer experience for the Humane Society, and running a rescue for cats with my mother for six years, I can safely say that I am well versed in pet care. I've dog sat many a time for friends and family, and treat every dog like they are my own. My schedule is currently entirely flexible, allowing me to offer any length or time of pet sitting needed for my clients. I have no current restrictions. Anything the pets might need, bathing, clipping nail, etc. I can do. Even if they just need a friend to cuddle. I can also administer oral medications to both cats and dogs.
