Dog Walkers in Sumterville, FL

About: I have been a pet lover as long as I remember, mainly dogs but a few cats as well. I have raised pets from birth due to owning male and female Boston Terriers who had several litters over the years. I am currently without any pets due to my last Boston Terrier, Elvis, crossing the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 13. I have pet-sitted for friends while they are on vacation etc. I feel that life is better with a pet! I retired in April so I'm available every day of the week for daily and/or weekly pet-sitting/boarding in my home or yours unless I have plans. My pets have always been indoor pets and I have a medium-sized crate if necessary. I like to take pets for a walk several times a day for exercise as well as potty breaks. I love spending time with animals because they bring me lots of joy and I hope I give them joy as well. I can adapt to any routine you may have established with your pet.

About: I absolutely adore animals. I love dogs and cats equally, I also have experience owning/caring for rodents and fish. I worked at a vet for a while so I have experience with animal care along with medicine distribution. I’m currently working part time and in the evenings so I’m free to check on your animals anytime before 4, weekends or weekdays. I can also stop by later in the evening after work (9) to care for them if they need it. I always approach an animal with caution and care, I allow the animal to sniff my hand first and let them approach me. I am careful when reading their body language and I am adamant about respecting an animal’s boundaries.

“I have known Michael for many years. We have two large dogs now and Michael has cared for them many times. Before we had these two dogs we had a dog and a cat. Both were elderly and needed extra care and attention and he treated them like they were his family. I would not hesitate for one moment to recommend Michael to care for your fur babies. You will be so happy that you do!”

“Renee has two dogs that she walks routinely. They walk well on the leash and get along with other pets which shows that Renee knows how to treat her dogs, train her dogs, and has the perfect temperament that her dogs and others respond favorably to. Renee has a cat and two dogs that are well cared for and she keeps them groomed, healthy and exercised. Renee loves meeting other people's pets and wants to play with them or pet them. She's a pet person, animal lover for sure!!”

About: Dog care: I have had dogs and cats myself and will treat your dog with love the way I would want my own treated! I understand their need for walking and play. I also have experience with older dogs and large dogs! I will walk your dog, feed him/her, clean up after him, administer meds, and, of course, play! I have had pets my entire life and have pet sat for friends and family many times. Kitty care: I love cats and would love to care for yours! I am not afraid to clean a litter box!! I will feed and play with your kitty, too! More than one kitty is cool and I can give meds if necessary. I love animals and will take very good care of your babies! I am a retired teacher from the Federal Department of Justice and can be trusted. I just got back from full time RV living and started Rover again. I look forward to meeting some new fur babies! I’m retired but work 10-15 flexible hours per week - no weekends; so I’ll be able to care for your pet easily! When I have a pet to care for, they are my main focus. I have a fenced in back yard for your fur baby to play. I will follow the routine which has been established between the owner and their pet.

“Matt did a great job with Charlie. Matt communicated his arrival time each day. Great job!! He even came back for an ‘extra’ walk because Charlie didn’t poop on first walk!”

“Adrienne was great.... She quickly communicated back to me during the entire process. She sent me picture of my dog during her visit with him. I would definitely request her again.”

“Greg is great. He arrives on time. He Sends me messages throughout the day. Teddy is happy and that’s what’s most important. I feel totally comfortable having him come into my house when we’re not at home.”

“Taylor is fantastic. Prompt and professional. Highly recommend.”

About: I have had dogs for many years of my life. As a child I had a Boxer for 7 years. She was a show dog before she came to live with us. In the past 30 years I have had a Miniature Schnauzer, Kimba for almost 18 years. When Kimba passed I adopted a rescue dog who had been abused, Buddy, a Boxer/Pit Bull mix. Buddy bonded with me but was terrified of everyone else. We decided that Buddy needed a friend and we got Copper, an Australian Shepherd who was a year younger than Buddy but he helped Buddy realize that he would never be hurt again. They are best buddies and bring my wife and me joy every single day. I am retired so I usually have availability most days. I am available in the event of last minute emergencies that may arise. Please do not hesitate to reach out. Your family is my top priority and any concerns as to oral medication or special care will be addressed as agreed during interview prior to booking.

“Mark definitely loves animals. He has sat for my dog Sadie many times. He is kind, gentle and dependable. I never worry when I leave my dog in his care. Mark is respectful and trustworthy and I would highly recommend him.”

“I needed someone to walk Sammy for 11 days. Chloe was reliable and punctual for the entire time. She sent a picture, map of walk and Sammy’s breaks to both pee and poo. I would request her services again if needed.”

“Lee Carroll is an outstanding caregiver for my little man Gambit. Her attention to his needs, her positive energy, and friendly disposition make her an amazing pet sitter. Gambit absolutely adores her and is so excited every time she comes to care for him. It is obvious how much she enjoys loving on him and playing with him. She takes him for regular walks when in her care. I would highly recommend Lee for anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter.”

“Great job, my Aussie loved his walk!!”

“Effortless! Thank you!”

“Kristin is great! Dependable and works really well with our stubborn girl. Really appreciate that she helped out at the last minute and always sends fun photos to put our minds at ease. Highly recommend her!”

“Melissa did great with our two Aussies Chip and Faith!! She took lots of pictures and messages with each visit, and spent lots of quality time with the dogs! She is very responsive, organized, and great with the dogs. I know Chip and Faith loved having Melissa take care of them. Thank you so much Melissa for taking such good care of our fur babies! We look forward to the next time you can walk and take care of them again :)”

“Tracy, has long been a lover of dogs, owned and cared for several of her own as well as several of mine. She is conscientious as to their individual needs paying special attention to individual feeding and walking schedules set by owners. Above all I have found her kind and loving, treating my pets with the same kind of affection she would if they were her own fur-babies.”

“I would definitely use this pet sitter again! Super responsible. Thanks Mikelle for always taking care of my pup and caring going above and beyond”
