Dog Walking In Thornton Park

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of different ages and personalities. I currently have two spayed female cats, ages 5 and 10 both are good with other animals, and previously cared for our family Morkie for many years who has since passed. I’ve also helped care for my dad’s Golden Retriever with walks, feeding, playtime, and daily routines. Being around animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. ✨ I work from home and have a flexible schedule through my small business, which makes it easy for me to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the day. 🐾 I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific routines their pet is used to. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s routine to help minimize stress while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured and connected throughout the stay. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always approach them with patience, attention, and gentle care.

“She's amazing! She loves and cares for my Lexi as much as I do. It's so reassuring to have someone caring for your pet when you are unable to.”

“Amanda is amazing! She walks my baby every week and has also boarded her. She is kind, caring, punctual, and a great communicator. I know my girl is in good hands when she’s with Amanda!”

About: I grew up with dogs, and I have an 8 y/o, 100 lb Bernedoodle that I’ve spoiled his whole life. I would love to spoil your pet, too! I am very comfortable with puppies, seniors, big, small, and everything in between. I will be patient with your pet, I don’t mind cleaning up messes, and am comfortable with giving medications. I go to the gym daily and will work that around your pet’s care. Your pet’s care will be my priority. This is my job! I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect. I will be patient with your pet. I will also be sure to leave your home the same or cleaner than when I arrived.

“Maria was fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and she immediately made me feel confident that both Syd and my home were in great hands. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and I really appreciated the updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Izabella took great care of our dog - Chevy while we were away. She was punctual and always communicated with us about how Chevy was doing. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!”

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets growing up through childhood, always had dogs and cats especially. Worked at a vet clinic for 2 years, loved it and miss it. Took courses on animal care and calming while working in the clinic. I’m currently working at Amazon as a flex employee, right now I’m only working 1-2 days a week there. I make my own schedule there and I plan to make my pet sitting schedule a priority. I won’t be able to bring any pets to my house for the time being, but going to houses I love playing with all the pets:) Always have had the biggest love for pets.

“Was so happy to have found Dwight as I needed a last minute walker! He communicated throughout out the entire process and sent cute photos. Definitely will rebook and would recommend him!”

About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.

“Devin has been an incredible dog charmer! Maddix took to him in minutes. He's courteous, flexible, knowledgeable and he was there for Maddix at the last minute. You are missing out if you don't give Devin a try! Thank you Devin for helping me out, especially at the last minute!”

“Hailey is great. Will definitely be booking her for future walks. She showed our puppy lots of love and most importantly kept him safe. Highly recommend”

About: I have grown up with all types of animals from dogs and cats, to birds and horses. I have a cat, two guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and a dog myself. I also have experience working over two years in an animal shelter taking care of both dogs and cats. I adopted my current dog at 5 months and we have spent the last year training, so I am comfortable using various commands to communicate with your dogs. I am currently a post grad taking a semester off so I am available full time to take care of your animals. I can drop in, do dog walks, and doggy day care or overnights. I have a large fenced in yard but live with multiple cats and a dog (who is very friendly but hyper). If that environment would not work for your animal I could do day care or drop ins at your residence, although i can only do overnights at my house.

“She was so great with my dogs and kept me informed the entire time. Highly recommend!!”

About: I recently moved near Lake Eola, so I’m a new local! About a year ago, I lost my sweet pup and while I’m not quite ready to open my heart to getting another dog of my own, I’ve realized just how much I miss the little things 🥺 seeing tails wag when I walk through the door, the smell of Frito paws and somehow always finding fur stuck to my clothes. I’d love the opportunity to pour that love and care into your fur babies. Truthfully, I’m not doing this because I need to.. I simply miss being around dogs and all the joy they bring. Becoming a dog walker and sitter feels like the perfect way to reconnect with that part of my heart while giving your pup the attention, belly rubs, affection, and care I gave my own. My goal is simple: to love and care for your pup as if they were my own 🤍🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently work on weekends, which means my weekdays are very open and flexible. I know many people have busy 9–5 schedules, long days and unexpected things coming up so my availability makes life a little easier. Living in a building myself, I understand that apartment living with a pet can sometimes mean extra trips downstairs, rushing home during lunch breaks, or trying to squeeze walks into an already busy day. I’m willing and able to help with walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure your pup gets the attention and care they need while you’re away 😊 Every dog has their own personality, routine, schedule and comfort level so I want to make sure every pet parent feels secure and confident when letting me sit or walk. I’m big on following instructions because I understand the consequences that come with negligence. I can handle feeding schedules, medications, crate preferences, potty routines etc! I also believe safety goes both ways. I’d love to know about any previous aggression, fears, triggers, anxieties, or behaviors I should be aware of beforehand so I can take any extra precautions needed and approach your pup with patience, understanding, and care. Every dog deserves to feel safe and comfortable, and knowing these things helps create the best experience for both of us 🐕‍🦺

“I would not hesitate to recommend Rylee for your pet’s needs. She has been wonderful. It is evident that she knows how to handle a dog, is punctual and keeps me informed. I am so grateful to have Rylee at a time when I cannot walk Lincoln myself”

Donna D.

“Zarah is punctual, communicates effectively, and keeps me informed about my dogs’ walks. I can clearly see her dedication and care for my pets. I highly recommend her to look after your pets too!”

About: I've been around dogs my whole life- growing up, our family dogs always slept in my room, played hide and seek with me, and I've always been the one naturally drawn to caring for and protecting animals that crossed my path. I currently have my own furry kid, a Shih Tzu/ Bichon mix with a pink tail, so daily walks, feeding/ potty routines, playtime, and lots of love is my joy, my connection with my soulful self. I was a schoolteacher for 8 years, elementary and middle school. I'm patient, attentive, kind, and treat every pet like I'd want a human to treat my baby. I'm comfortable with puppy care, the frequent potty schedule, supervision, and playtime. I'm also comfortable caring for senior dogs (as my Boston terrier lived beautifully until the age of 15). Taking extra time on walks, giving meds, making sure they feel safe and comfy, just how I'd hope someone would care for me and/or Madi. I think I'm unique in the way that I see that every dog just like all of my former students, they're all different. They each have their own little mind filled with thoughts in their own little world. The kids and 4 legged kids, they need the same individualized care and attention, and also to feel accepted and understood. I run a small truckling company which allows me to have pretty flexible hours during the day, which is why I decided to get on Rover. Madi and I are pretty routine, as we prefer less chaos lol. I would request detailed instructions on routines, fun games, food/walk/play schedules, anything that makes this unique boy or girl the most comfortable they can be!, which will be a win/win for paw parents.

“Jeff helped out with some walks while I am recovering from surgery. I could tell he would treat my boys with care. He was GREAT with both of my dogs and gave me a full report afterward. I highly recommend him!”

About: I have been an animal lover since growing up in rural Florida. I have been a momma to chickens, birds, greyhounds, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I now have 2 cute cats that refuse to share their home with any canines so I figure I can get my dog hugs with this job! I want a hobby/job to keep me busy while my girls go to school. I can do dog walks, cat care, and home visits for dogs. I will do all visits in the clients' home, and all walks in the dogs' neighborhood. My cats are cute, but not great at sharing my attention....they really are divas.

About: I have over 15 years experience. Growing up I had 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 horses, and 4 birds. Recent days, I specialize in puppies, high energy breeds, and seniors. Got a couch potato? No problem! I'll make sure they get all the snuggles they need. Got a high-energy baby with a frequent case of the zoomies? Good thing I'm high energy too! I'll walk and play with them as much as they want. Got a senior who deserves all the care in the world? They will recieve all my attention and love as if they were my own. I work fully remote at home so as long as you have wifi - I can stop by any time or day! If you need me last minute - let me know! I can make something work. You are trusting me with something precious - your baby and your home. Whatever your baby and home needs, I will gladly find a way to take care of it. They be will given the upmost care and love. As a mom of a dog who went over the rainbow bridge in the care of someone else - I know how important it is to have someone you trust.
