Dog Walkers in Wakulla Springs, FL

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifelong bond with animals and years of hands-on experience that began when I was just 4 years old. I grew up living with my grandfather, who always had five dogs at a time. Being surrounded by animals from such a young age taught me the importance of consistent, compassionate care. Over the years, I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like part of the family. When my parents gifted me my own puppy, I took formal puppy training classes to better understand behavior and effective training techniques—skills I still use with every dog I care for. Beyond puppy care, I have extensive experience with senior and special needs dogs. I helped care for my grandfather’s dog who was blind, deaf, and had a tumor, making sure he felt safe, loved, and comfortable every day. Currently, I’m caring for my own senior dog who has cancer. I manage her treatment, including chemotherapy appointments and administering medication, with patience and dedication. This experience has deepened my ability to care for aging or ill pets with empathy and attentiveness. Whether it’s basic training, special medical care, or just keeping them company, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels at home, safe, and well cared for. I’m currently waiting to start college and will be home for the next month, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs—whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s comfort and care are my top priority, and I’ll work with you to make sure they get exactly the attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. I'm highly attentive and have no problem going the extra mile, whether that means long walks, park visits, beach outings, or just lots of playtime and companionship. If caring for pets in my home, I offer a secure and comfortable environment. I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and live in a neighborhood with a dog park just minutes away. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, jogs, or runs, and I’m always ready for a good game of tug-of-war or fetch. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to be reliable, punctual (I aim to arrive early), and respectful of your space. I can quickly get to your home in case of emergencies and will follow any specific instructions you provide. I'm comfortable with crate training and can easily manage routines around feeding, medication, or special care. No matter the location, my goal is to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and cared for 24/7.

“Kayla has been a reliable helper. She is very kind and my dogs get a good walk/workout with her. My pups are always happy to see her. I have her services on reoccurring and I am very grateful for the pup care!”

About: I've had cats and dogs for nearly my entire life and always enjoy being around them. When you have to be away or just need a caring pair of hands I can be there for you. I'm looking to make this a part time effort to help out people who need caring hands. I am typically available just about anytime night or day. We have 3 cats at our home (Beef Broccoli and Brisquette) as well as a boxer puppy (coming soon). While Beef prefers to live outside and passively engages with us the way outside cats tend to do. Our indoor buddies are happy playful and surprisingly talkative, they get their flea meds bimonthly as we rarely have flea issues.

“Kayla did an amazing job with my pups. She followed all guidance provided and ensured my pups were taken good care of during their walks.”

About: I love all animals, all shapes, sizes and colors. I have experience in every animal kingdom. I have a very safe and large fenced in oasis for your child to play in.

I manage both of these schedules and can fit you in! I find a happy dog is a dog on a schedule. I prefer to have specific instructions on any schedules for special pets. Pets will not be left unattended for extended periods.

About: Since elementary school, I have always wanted to become a veterinarian. Now, as a junior in college, I have ample experience working with various species. I currently work at an animal hospital, where I am familiar with dispensing medication and performing typical grooming tasks for cats and dogs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I have no pets myself, allowing me to focus entirely on yours. My top priority is ensuring your pet's safety and enjoyment. I create a clear schedule tailored to each pet's needs, including regular outings and ample playtime to burn off energy. Caring for pets in my home or a client's home varies based on the service provided. In my home, I maintain a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring pets have plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine and specific instructions, keeping the pets in a familiar and secure setting while providing the same level of care and affection.

I would reccomend her to anyone! She has been such a huge help for me while I am healing from an injury.”
