“Lindsay walked our 2 boys every day during a 2 week period while we were abroad over the holidays. We received photos every day along with a note summarizing our dogs' reactions before, during, or after their walk, which let us know that our dogs were adjusting and bonding with her. We are so grateful for Lindsay, the excellent care she took of our fur kids, and her flexibility and patience in communicating with my mother-in-law. Lindsay is the best! If she is caring for your animals while you are on vacation they will be in excellent hands and you will quickly realize that there is no need to worry...your animals will have the time of their lives.”
“Rob was great. You can tell he’s very sensitive to dogs needs. He took his time getting to know the dogs and they seem to take to him very quickly. I would definitely use Rob again.”
“Maryjane helped me out after having knee surgery. I found wouldn’t be able to do the walking my dog loves. So, at the last minute Maryjane came to our rescue. Maryjane’s helpfulness, kindness and flexibility are most appreciated. Thank you! ???”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. All sizes and I currently have a standard labradoodle and medium double doodle. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and give baths to their pets. One thing that I firmly believe in is that I will spend time with your pups after what you have requested. I will not just feed and leave. I believe in allowing pets to feel the love and know that they are not alone all day! With my current work situation, I am very flexible in my hours and needs. I can make specific arrangements when discussed with owners on specifics to take care of your family. Weekends are majority open and available any time of the day! I’m currently work at the nearby college and have the flexibility to meet your needs. Most days and weekends are open and frequent conversations with owners will give me the best opportunity to fulfill your needs. I do not have a fenced in yard but live on an acre of land. I am open to accommodating your pets in your home as well as boarding upon request with your own kennel provided.
About: Ever since I was little, I’ve adored and respected all animals no matter how big or how little!

I love helping people and I also love pets. My schedule is super flexible because all of my schoolwork is online so let me know exactly what you need and we can make it work. I will be super attentive to any of your pets needs and we’ll make sure that it has all of the love and attention that it deserves

“Mike has been walking my 2 big dogs, 70 and 90 lb. Bouvier des Flandres, for approximately 2 months. He’s great with them; patient with my girl and can control my boy who can be a challenge. He’s even given me tips on how he gets my boy to behave (Leo at age 2 is impulsive and reactive, especially with golf carts). I even see a difference when I walk them. I’d highly recommend Mike, especially if you have big dogs!”
About: Over the past couple years, I’ve taken care of many dogs. I was trusted to watch two elderly epileptic Rottweilers for a week and gave the family the freedom to go on vacation for the first time in 13 years. I was also a constant at one of my friends house to watch her five Boykin spaniels. I helped one of my friends gain leashed confidence and control with their large German shepherd husky mix. I was known around the neighborhood as someone to call if you needed a pet sitter I love all animals not just dogs and cats and would be happy to watch your fur babies for you. I’m currently working part-time at Publix, but I’m available Monday through Friday after 8am. Weekends are doable we just need to check for time in my schedule. I am very flexible and willing to work with you and your needs as well. Currently I do not offer in my home just with my current situation. I am willing to drive and/or walk your dog to a dog park. Or I do just offer to walk your dog. Just depends on what you are looking for!
About: I have successfully run an animal farm and currently volunteer at the animal shelter. I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, and fish. I will care for your pet as my own animals! I will care for your pet as my own and your pet will be my top priority! I have run my own business and am great at scheduling as well as communication. I do not have a fenced yard so at my home your pet will always be walked with a leash. If I am in your home I will ensure that I will follow your exact instructions.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was a young child. My parents worked a lot so I was responsible for feeding, cleaning up after and walking our dogs (a Labrador mix rescue and 2 Cocker Spaniels). As soon as I got my own place, I got a cat and a dog (a Cocker Spaniel) of my own. When I started a family, my 2 children and my husband also shared my love of animals. Over the years we have owned; birds, snakes, lizards, guinea pigs, cats and dogs (Labradors/ mixes, 3 Chihuahuas and a Chihuahua mix). During that time, I also pet sat for family members and neighbors (for several different dogs from Australian Shepherds and Miniature Schnauzers to Boston Terriers). I also taught my children the value of giving back and caring for animals by volunteering with them at the ASPCA, taking care of puppies, kittens, cats and dogs. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule including evenings and weekends, so I’m available to care for your pets when it’s convenient for you. I can come to your home for visits to walk or play with your dog or, if you will be gone longer, I would be happy to stay at your home with your fur babies. I will play with them, make sure they are well cared for and give them lots of love and affection.
About: I have two senior dogs, have had pets my entire adult life, and also volunteer with a rescue group. I have fostered numerous puppies (including a litter of 3), and have raised two of my own from puppy to adult. I enjoy providing activities to keep busy dogs physically and mentally engaged. I believe in positive reinforcement training and lots of love. I work from home & my husband is also home. While I will be the one taking care of your pets, he is able to care for ours! I have a flexible job which allows me the time to take care of your pet. I believe that following parent (pet owner) instructions, providing positive reinforcement and "listening" to a pet's signals are important aspects in caring for a pet. I will treat your home and pet as if they are my own - with love and respect.
