Dog Walking Waverly

About: As a proud U.S. Navy Veteran, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. I have experience caring for and training dogs in animal shelters and on base, along with providing monthly grooming for family and friends for over 10 years. I can assist with basic grooming, reinforce obedience commands, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with their safety, comfort, and happiness as my top priorities. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾🤍 I love taking walks with my dogs and also help care for my mother’s dogs. I believe dogs thrive with consistency, positive reinforcement, and a good routine. 🐾 I help reinforce good behaviors and keep a consistent schedule for walks, meals, and playtime, so your pup knows what to expect and feels happy, comfortable, and secure. Your pup will feel right at home in my cozy 3-bedroom townhome, complete with a fully fenced backyard where they can safely roam, play, and enjoy some freedom! I’m an active person who enjoys taking long daily walks, so your furry friend will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and adventure. Most importantly, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, and plenty of tail-wagging fun! ❤️

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 14. Family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, give medications and bathe their dogs. I have many years of experience in caring for all animals. Dogs and cats are not the only pets I cared for, I have cared for lizards, snakes, hamsters, gerbils, chinchilla and Guinea pig I am currently working part time and I will have plenty of time to spend with the pets I care for. I will be able to stay weekends and holidays with your pets. Your pet comes first. They will be a part of my family and give excellent care whether they are staying at home or with me.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up in a house full of pets! Over the years, I’ve had experience with Labrador Retrievers, a German Shepherd/Basset Hound mix, a Golden Retriever, and three cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and lots of fur. 🐾 These days, I’m a proud dog mom to Buck, my black Lab, who keeps life fun, active, and never boring. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat yours like one of my own — with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and belly rubs! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with lots of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a friendly black Lab named Buck who loves having a buddy to play with, but I’m also happy to give pets their own space when needed. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and crate routines closely and always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and treated like part of the family.

About: Dogs, cats, and birds have always been a part of my life! I currently have two beautiful puppies. I will provide morning, afternoon, and evening walks, playtime and feed your pets. I also have experience with my own dogs including senior care and administering medication as needed. I will be happy to send you pictures and videos during my visits. I am currently retired and available to take care of your pets in the morning, afternoon and/or evening. You can just let me know how long you would like me to spend time with your babies! I will come to your home and provide walks, feeding, playtime and medication if needed. I will also send pictures of your pets. I will treat your pets as my own!

“Melina was amazing and she did a great job. She was super sweet and took wonderful care of my dog. She was always on time, professional and the pictures I got show my dog very happy. I highly recommend and I will definitely use next time. Thank you Melina!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats alike since I was little. I have always enjoyed taking care of animals of all kinds! I kept reptiles and chinchillas growing up and also had quite a few geckos. I currently have my dog Nova and cat Ninja to take care of. I love them to pieces and that love alone has helped friends and family keep me in mind when it comes to going on fun walks, feeding, and sometimes with bathing! I was even given an award in high school voted as biggest Animal Lover. That was in 2015 and it hasn’t changed a bit! I run my own business so I’m very flexible with my time. I also have my own dog that I walk daily on a routine and with daily dog park time. We go on morning walks to the beach, she gets walked all the way to the dog park a block away and spends a lot of time outside. Pet care is and has always been apart of my daily routine! I love in an apartment and currently I am at max capacity for animals in my home, however, you can trust that your pets will be taken care of with the same love I give my own. I have worked with dogs of all ages and sizes. Whether we are going on a walk or taking them to the dog park I can handle your pets needs. I did go to school for wildlife rehabilitation and can administer most medications if need be. I am very patient and loving when it comes to all pets, so whether you have a grumpy ole pup or a shy one, I am more than happy to take my time making sure they are comfortable in my care. I have experience with most reptiles, including snakes, amphibians, geckos, and most lizards. I do not have a lot of experience with birds but I am always learning!

About: I've been around animals my whole life. Friends jokingly call me the dog whisperer because dogs naturally trust me and feel calm in my care. I work from home full-time, so your dog will have constant attention, regular trail walks, and a structured, clean apartment environment. Since I’ve used Rover as a customer myself, I know how important peace of mind is. I'll def keep you updated with daily photos! I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Your dog will rarely be alone and always feel safe, loved, and happy. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every dog. As a pet parent to a 7lb emotional support dog, I understand trust and care, keeping owners updated with photos, videos, and regular communication

About: I have experience with dogs and other animals, as well as grooming, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m patient with puppies, gentle and attentive with senior pets, and always make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and attention Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to make time throughout my week for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and exercise, and receive lots of attention and love. I also keep their space clean and comfortable. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure their pets feel safe and relaxed while they’re away.

About: I was raised with German Shepherds who were obedience trained. For the past 32 years I raised 6 Boxers, 5 obedience trained and 1 a show dog. It is my belief adopting a pet is a commitment for life and they are to be treated as a family member. I have also owned cats and raised exotic birds, hand feeding many baby birds. I am a licensed healthcare provider able to administer medication, injections, CPR and perform wound care. CPR on an animal is not always effective. I am semi-retired, presently not working. My schedule is flexible, seven days a week. I would like to provide pet care as a part time job, maintaining a flexible schedule and availability to pets. I am available to do drop in visits 24/7 or as late in the evening and as early in the morning as requested. If requested, I’m happy to send text messages, photos, even recordings ( when possible ) as an update for each service. My service is safety first with the pet in the client’s home or mine. I have large crates, 4’ L x 3’ H x 2 1/2’ W and a large wire play pen that will configure to any shape and covers up to 32 ft.². Your pet would spend time rotating between crate, playpen, and outside play for 30 minutes three times per day, as well as toileting every two hours. This would need to be agreeable with pet owner. I have two medium size dogs. I’m experienced with introducing dogs safely and I am particular about this.

About: I’ve been a pet owner and caretaker most of my life. I’ve helped or solely taken care of my own pets, family pets and those of friends. I have experience with elderly dogs and puppies big and small, as well as giving oral medications if needed. I make sure to be meticulous and careful especially with the precious fur children of others. My experience with dogs is much stronger than with cats but I certainly don’t mind helping out with kitties:) I just started working, so at the moment availability is a bit limited, I’m free Sundays and Mondays from work. My calendar will be updated as frequently as possible for availability. I make sure to keep a good eye on pets, taking them out regularly and making sure they’re properly fed and cared for, especially should specific needs have to be met. Typically, I spend my time in the home near and around the animals, even if not actively playing or interacting with them. I let pets go on as they normally would, so as to let them stay comfortable, as long as I can keep an eye on them.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once. I regularly cared for a household with five dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I’m also a pet owner myself (one dog and two cats), so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every animal like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m reliable, very responsive, and available for last-minute bookings when needed. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send updates/photos, and make sure you feel completely at ease while you’re gone. I work full time but I am remote, so taking time during the day is no problem in addition to availability in the mornings and evenings. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where pets are most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or just companionship, I’m committed to making your time away stress-free for both you and your pets. I’m very respectful of your space and privacy, and I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m also happy to help with small extras like bringing in mail or watering plants.

About: I’ve loved taking care of all kinds of pets since I was a kid. I currently have 2 dogs who sleep in my bed every night, as well as 2 cats! I started volunteering at the Humane Society when I was 13 years old. I have fostered dogs, rescued strays, been an administrator for a Lost & Found Pets of Polk County Facebook group, and reunited many lost pets with their families. I shadowed Dr. Matthews at VCA Lake Wales Veterinary Hospital when I was 14 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to feed, bathe, and be a sitter for their pets for as long as I can remember! I will always go out of my way to help any animal in need. Whatever kind of care your pet needs I can give! No breed discrimination EVER! I am an animal lover and look forward to meeting you and caring for your pets as if they were my own! I am currently a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule! I do my assignments on my own time, so they won’t interfere with your pet’s care. In your home, I will thoroughly follow all of your instructions on how to care for your pet. Rest assured I will give your pet attention, play time, as many potty breaks as needed, supervised feedings, and anything else that is a part of your pet’s routine. I want your pet to feel safe and loved while you are away, and I will always treat your pet(s) the same way I would treat my own!

About: Hi! I’m Jay, a dependable, trustworthy animal lover who understands that pets are family. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule outside of my full-time career, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, an energetic walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to be there on time and provide exceptional care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions you provide. When your pet is with me, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is simple: earn your trust by providing dependable service and giving your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a German Shepard/lab dog so taking care of your fur baby will blend right in with our daily walk sessions when the weather allows us to do so. Your for baby will be an excellent hands with the help of our dog Jacob. We have a huge backyard which is more than enough room for the babies to play. Not to worry they are never left unattended

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little, I even started washing dogs for my neighbors when I was 13. I have been around dogs since I was little and just got a cat. I love animals and meeting new types of dogs and cats! I work part time during the day but I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends. I have very good time management and I am able to work around my schedule. I take in to account what the environment is when I care for pets such as if there is fenced yard or near a busy road.

About: I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life from 10lbs to 100+. I have no formal training but have yet to meet a dog I wasn't able to leash train with no pulling or jumping within a few sessions. I am confident and not easily intimidated with large or loud dogs which makes establishing a bond and rapport easier and quicker. Giving medication or any special needs are not an issue. My dog is my Queen so I understand special requests and also not an issue. I will go the extra mile whatever that entails, including walking an entire mile if that’s what your baby needs. Willing to come early or later if it looks like bad weather so your loved one gets the exercise they need. I prefer to meet more challenging dogs before committing to ensure I am the perfect fit. Always available to answer any questions or concerns and love to send photos so you know your pet is getting the attention they need. I recently quit my job to start my own small business which has been a success but find myself with a lot of extra time. I will have a consistent, reliable weekday schedule with varying availability on weekends. I am not able to board or sit pets in my home as it is not large enough but can easily do it in yours. My dog Mya and cat Narcissa are both treated like queens in every sense of the word and will treat yours as if they were mine. During walks I will always have plenty of cool water on hand and pay extra attention to over heating and hot pavement. I walk for as long as your dog wants or needs to during the scheduled visit time. I am not opposed to special requests like medication administration or even simple bathing for additional fee. I will always be available to communicate with, will report any issues that need attention, and send as many photos of our time together as you wish.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and I’m a proud dog mum to two large rescue fur babies, Vinnie and Boone. I’ve been volunteering at local dog shelters for years now so I have plenty of hands-on experience with dog walking, training, handling difference personalities and providing day to day care. I’m patient, loving and reliable, and I’ll treat your pup like one of my own - making every walk and visit a positive, enjoyable experience. 🐾💖 I currently work part time freelance from home, so I can be totally flexible! I’m available for home visits or dog walks Monday-Friday from early until around 4pm. I will always ensure your fur baby is as comfortable and happy as they can be! They will always have my full attention - their safety is my priority.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong work ethic and adaptability, allowing me to provide exceptional care tailored to each pet's needs. I have specialized skills in training puppies and providing attentive care for senior pets, ensuring they receive the best possible attention and love. I’ve been taking care of dogs for 2 yrs now but I don’t own any because I work during the week and I don’t like to have the pets on a crate all day. I work Monday- Friday. scheduled is 8-5 every day. I’m available after 5pm during the week and Saturday and Sundays I have full day availability! I have a fenced yard and also I have a big park right behind my apartment complex , super beautiful. I can crate your dog if needed.

About: A few months ago, we lost our boy to cancer. We aren’t ready for a new dog of our own, but love having furry visitors, so I’ve just got myself all set up on Rover. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom. I have time everyday anytime of the day if you need me. I also walk in the morning,afternoon and the evening behind my house I have a lake that’s has a path to walk and it’s 1 mile around the lake. I also have a dog park near by my house. I'm really great with communication. If you have any rules for your fur baby I will follow. I also have three really friendly dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed (again if that okay with you).
