Dog Walkers in Willow, FL

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have taken care of multiple pets for friends, neighbors, and family members, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am attentive to each pet’s needs and make sure they receive the care, patience, and attention they deserve. In addition to pet care, I previously worked in childcare with RCMA, where I learned strong responsibility, supervision, and safety skills. My background in customer service has also helped me develop great communication and reliability when working with families. I am dependable, patient, and passionate about providing loving care for pets so owners can feel confident their animals are in good hands. I’m currently doing online school so I would plan my schedule to allow time for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I’m organized and dependable, which helps me maintain a routine that keeps pets happy, active, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and make sure pets have plenty of attention and supervision. I always keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable while respecting the owner’s home and instructions. I also make sure doors, gates, and outdoor areas are secure so pets stay safe at all times. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱

About: Experienced 3-dog owner Scott Shanfeld provides reliable, loving pet care. Skilled in handling all personalities and safety-focused, I’ll treat your pup like family! Pet care fits seamlessly by structuring your mornings and evenings around routine walks and feedings, while midday check-ins or longer weekend blocks handle extended service bookings and administrative tasks. Providing in-home pet care—whether it's overnight house sitting or dropping in for visits—is all about maintaining the pet's regular routine to keep them stress-free while their owner is away. Because pets are usually most comfortable in their own environment, keeping things consistent is key. Here is exactly how a professional in-home pet care setup typically works: 1. The Pre-Service Meet and Greet Before any care begins, a crucial first step is meeting the client and their pets at their home. This serves a few vital purposes: Introductions: Letting the pets get used to a new face while their owner is there to reassure them. Routine Walkthrough: Learning exactly where food, bowls, leashes, toys, and cleaning supplies are kept. Logistics: Securing home access (keys, lockbox codes, or alarm instructions) and collecting emergency contact info for the vet. 2. Maintaining the Routine The goal is to replicate the owner's exact schedule as closely as possible. Feeding & Medication: Serving precise portions at the exact times the pet expects them. If a pet requires medication (pills, ointments, or injections), getting clear instructions and tracking doses is a top priority. Exercise & Play: Going for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in interactive play to burn off energy and keep anxiety at bay. Bathroom Breaks: Ensuring dogs get out at regular intervals or keeping the litter box meticulously clean for cats. 3. House Manners & Security Caring for a pet in a client's home means treating the space with total respect. Home Care Basics: Bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking out the trash on pickup days, and alternating lights so the house looks occupied. Cleanliness: Promptly cleaning up any pet messes, wiping muddy paws at the door, and leaving the home exactly as it was found. 4. Communication & Updates Sending regular updates to the owner is one of the most important parts of the job. A quick text with a photo or two during a visit or at the end of the day goes a long way in giving them peace of mind while they are away.

“Jordan was beyond amazing,a true life saver she came through at the very last minute for me .At first I was skeptical about allowing a stranger to care for my baby (Choppa)let alone in my home but we broke the ice when we did a meet and greet she met my baby and I I showed her around told her his schedule and from there on I felt comfortable and so did my baby chop .She was on time answered to all messages quickly and promptly every walk she gave and expensive update with photos which I loved because it made me feel better and knowing my Choppas in good hands . she’s very professional and respectful.Jordan followed schedule made sure Choppa had enough food water took him on nice lengthy walks and even went out her way to play with him to burn some of that energy lol. I really enjoyed Jordans service and I will definitely be rebooking her she is now apparent of the family!THANKS AGIN JORDANNN!!!!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 15. She’s now 11 years old and a healthy pup. I was a certified vet assistant a few years back but could not handle the emotional pain of watching dogs pass in the medical field. I still love dogs and cats and enjoy caring for them. I work full time overnight so I am able to spend daytime with your pet! Tuesday and Wednesday are my usual days off. I can typically spend 6-8 hours with your pet before I leave for work at 9:30pm. My pets are kept indoors and on our screened patio. They keep a strict routine and enjoy sunbathing on the patio. It’s a relatively new home so the screening is strong and has never been broken. We have two litter robots and my home is always in clean condition.

About: My current rental isn’t pet-friendly, so I don’t have a fur baby of my own right now but honestly, animals have been a consistent part of my life and work! As a full-time traveling newborn care specialist (nanny), I’ve had the joy of caring for family pets while also looking after their little ones, or stepping in as the sole pet caregiver while families travel. It’s become a natural perk of my career! I love hiking, going for walks and jogs, playing fetch, and just enjoying the outdoors so active pups/high-energy breeds are very welcome. My schedule as an on-call nanny keeps me pretty flexible overall, and I’m happy to work around your needs. Im based in Tampa for the next month! I treat every home with respect: your rules are my rules! I’m a bit Type A myself, so I naturally keep things tidy and orderly. I stay alert and aware of my surroundings whether we’re inside or out, and I’m experienced with rescues and anxious dogs, so I know how to read body language and adjust my approach. At dog parks or on walks, I stay vigilant so your pet is always safe.

“Mary did an awesome job with Ares, we will certainly use her again.”
