Dog Walking Valdez

“Def recommend, they take good care of the dog and are very communicative!”

Randi P.

About: I am well versed on various training, dog sitting, boarding and walking methods for our canine family members. Gained hands on experience of training and handling with my 11 year old GSD. I personally researched for years and only then successfully trained my current 10 month old GSD, using my other 11 year old GSD as a control. I will offer free consults to clients in need of repeat services in order to determine the tailored needs for your dog. Always willing to go above and beyond for my love of dogs. Excel with all dogs and utilize communication with the client in order to fully understand the specific qualities, needs and wants of the dog in order to organize and manage effective walks/boarding/training. I have been living in the area for over 20 years and know all of the dog-friendly parks or areas that provide a clean and safe environment offering an array of enrichment. Knowledgeable in training and recognizing animal body language used to establish positive communication with the dogs. I can not only improve the lives of the dog, but also clearly communicate and empower the owner with training tips to continue effective conditioning for a well-trained dog. My remote position of over 5 years as a Sr Mortgage Underwriter was recently moved into the office (Tampa) and decided to take time off. Therefore, I am available 24/7 and mainly focusing on the transition into the Dog Walking/Boarding/Training business. *HOUSE SITTING SERVICE: Active as a less expensive alternative to booking numerous Drop-In visits with multiple dogs. Unable to stay overnight. I am available from 7:00am - 11:00pm daily.

About: While I may not have years of experience like some, my love for animals does not fall short. I have taken care of dogs, big and small. Some with dietary restrictions and rigid feeding routines and others with a more lax regimen. I have house sat/pet sat and stayed in the owner’s home on multiple occasions. I’ve taken care of four dogs of various sizes at once, done drop-ins to feed/change water and let the puppers out for friends and family members, and I’ve also stopped by to do something as simple as a quick walk. Whatever you need, I can do it! I can assure you that I will treat your pet as my own. I currently work full time at a law firm in downtown but I live in Sanford. I have a reliable car and I don’t mind driving. I can pet sit/house sit on weekdays but I have work so it would be morning care and evening/night. I can also take a midday break if needed. I am off on the weekends so I will be able to be there full time. Depending on the owner, I have put pets into their crates when leaving the house or at night for sleeping but I have also let them roam freely, if the owner allows it.

“Christy is AMAZING. She is communicative. My dog is 10x happier with her walking her than she has been with anyone else. Definitely recommend!”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors, and I can even administer medications, if needed. To me this won't just be another job or a check-in, I want to get to know your dog, cuddle them, and have playtime with them for enrichment. Puppies each have their own personalities and I have taken care of pups with challenging and sassy personalities, including my own 6 month old coonhound who is super independent. I can train puppies, so if you are working long hours and need help with potty training, crate training, or mastering basic commands such as sit, I would love to help you with that while I'm there! My schedule is currently open for the entire summer, Monday through Sunday. If I am needed early morning hours or late evening hours, I am also open to discussing this. During in-home check-ins for dogs, only with your approval, I will give your pup treats for training purposes. Typically I will use single pieces of your dog's kibble to motivate them in learning commands. When it comes to cats, if you are hiring me to take care of your cat while you are gone for work or a trip, I will treat them as an indoor-only cat, no exceptions.

“Morgan has been absolutely incredible with my two dogs. One of my babies has been sick and she has been so compassionate and patient with him during drop ins. She definitely eased my anxiety being away for the first time since he was hospitalized. I’d recommend Morgan to anyone looking for care for their dogs. Thank you for everything!”

About: I am skilled in basic pet care, including exercising, sensory enrichment play time, feeding/watering, bathing/cleanliness, and administering medication. I have taken care of animals my entire life, including cats, dogs, and several types of exotic animals. I am currently working part time in Hospitality, so my availability is subject to inquiry. Most days and nights, I am available to board several animals. I am very flexible and receptive to your pets’ individual needs, and can accommodate most requests (bathroom break at a certain time, feeding schedule, med schedule, etc.) Please let me know if there is a special request and I will do my best to honor it. Your pet will be cared for like my own Mr. Winston! I treat pets like family members. I am a loving caregiver, as evidenced by my own care of my dog, Winston. Your animal will be cared for as if they were mine. If anything, they may even be spoiled a little during their stay!

“Excellent service on short notice; thank you!”

“Joy is amazing!”

About: I have worked in a vet clinic setting that has allowed me to work with different types of animals of all ages. I have works from little dogs to big dogs to little cats to big cats. I always treat the animals like they’re one of us and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I always make time for my animals no matter the time I always work around and make sure everyone is happy. I’m open to work around my schedule in their schedule. The care that I give all animals does not change. I care for them all equally making sure they are all comfortable and they feel safe in their home either if it’s in my place or theirs.

About: I love dogs (as well as cats, lizards, and all kinds of animals)! Your best buddy will be well taken care of, pampered and loved while you're gone. I like playing with our quests and like walks with them. I currently have one cat. I have a nice size fenced in yard for quick pee breaks but we will most likely be taking them out for walks around the neighborhood often. I am usually available everyday of the week and are usually home most of the day. At times, with your permission, I would take your best buddy with us to local park walks, pet friendly restaurants, or local festivals. I’m semi retired and can take care of your pet almost anytime. I’m not usually gone from home long, but if I am I usually will take your pet with me I have a large fenced yard, with plenty of chances to run and play. I will be out in the yard wherever they are, so they are away safe in the backyard

About: All my life i’ve been surrounded by animals! I’ve grown up helping taking care of both dogs and cats. I have experience walking dogs, feeding both cats and dogs, picking up dog poop and cat litter, playing with both animals, as well as bathing dogs! I also give so much love to all animals! I have helped out family and friends in the past as well ! I currently work a part time job that takes place typically in the afternoon-night. My work schedule can change weekly so I plan on updating my schedule to take care of pets weekly as well! I will ensure to make time for all pets even with this work schedule! I will be most helpful in mornings but will also be there to provide service throughout the whole day. At home I have 5 dogs and 1 lovely cat! My cat typically stays upstairs while my dogs will be downstairs and get to roam around freely. I have a small patio with grass that is fenced that I let my dogs out in! I have some cages and many beds for pets to use! For taking care of a pet at your home, I will follow along with any pet instructions given. I will feed, let dogs out to potty or walk as needed. I’m happy to provide any other services you may need regarding your pets! I will of course dedicate time to playing with them!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, giving medication, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important pets are to families, so I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and willing to follow any special routines or instructions to keep your pet happy. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My daughter attends daycare during the day, which gives me plenty of time to focus on caring for pets, including walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the day. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m patient, responsible, and understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. My goal is to make pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.

About: I have had a dog myself since I was 10 and a cat since 15. Both were majority my responsibility. I have also pet sat for many friends and family with a multitude of different sized pets. Hi! I’m in town temporarily doing clinical placements and using Rover to help keep my bank account alive 😅 I’m reliable, easygoing, and take pride in doing a good job. Happy to help out while I’m here! I love all animals :) I can easily walk dogs, play with any animal, give them lots of love and pets, and provide great care for your babies. I will remain in constant contact with you and do everything the way you ask! I understand the importance of taking care of the fur babies , I’m here for what you need!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life and shared responsibility for taking care of them with my siblings. I now have my own fuzzball - Miso (Brown tabby cat). I also frequently watch my close friends, neighbors, and family's pets while they’re out of town or just need a little 'me' time away from their energetic gremlins - always being sure to give them lots of love while their person is away. I have helped my closest friend train her Husky/German Shepard mix puppy do simple commands like: sit, stay, paw and most importantly potty training. I do have experience with younger animals so I can help out with training and I of course have loads of patience, experience, and love to care for senior pets too! I have always loved being around animals, they’re such pure creatures that we are soo undeserving of a lot of times! Feel free to shoot me a message to discuss times and availability. Weekends I am typically completely free unless marked on my Rover Calendar! :)) I currently WFH so can be very flexible. I can work on the road, or simply bring my work with me where ever I go. Just looking to pick back up some side jigs - mostly ones I find joy in, and this is definitely a big one on my list! I have an apartment that is near a small dog park and other parks in the area as well. I have a younger cat that is still adjusting to dogs but doesn't mind keeping to herself on her kitty castle (cat tower/tree) or in a separate room.
