Dog Walking Winter Haven

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.

“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'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.

About: Other than my 2 pets that I've had in my life and going to school I don't have much experience with pets, but I will treat any pet as I do my own dog and I'll love to have more experience with pets to add to my veterinary assistant skills. I'm currently working right now so I'll be able to walk dogs on my days off. I'll walk them.in the mornings before it gets too hot. I won't have any pets in my house. I will only walk them around my neighborhood for 10 to 15 minutes so the dogs don't get overheated.

About: I have past professional babysitting and nannying experience and I believe if you can leave your child under my care than a pet should be the same! I've had 2 German shepards that I have trained myself along with countless other doggies I've watched and taken care of I’m reliable, detail oriented, and flexible with scheduling. Whether you need a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I’m committed to providing dependable care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I am a college student so my schedule is wide open. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, cleaning up, and sticking to your pet’s routine, I understand that consistency is key to keeping them happy and stress free. My goal is to care for your pet as if they were my own.

“Shannon was absolutely amazing with my dog while I was away! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease—and she exceeded every expectation. She sent me tons of adorable videos (which I loved!), kept me updated the whole time, and made sure my pup felt safe, happy, and spoiled. My dog absolutely adored her—tail wags, cuddles, and all! I could tell they formed such a sweet bond, and that means the world to me. Shannon went above and beyond, and I can't thank her enough. If you're lucky enough to book Shannon, do it! She's the best. 🐾💛”

“Sarah did a fabulous job of taking care of my furbabies. Unfortunate circumstances required me to be out of town unexpectedly so I booked Sarah last minute and she did a fantastic job!! She kept me in the loop of what was going on at home and took lots of pictures and videos when she walked my dog and played with her. 5 stars!”

About: Animals have always been more than a hobby to me—they're my career and my passion. I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for animals and have worked professionally as both a zookeeper and veterinary technician. I'm currently earning my Bachelor's degree in Animal Health & Behavior, giving me an even deeper understanding of animal behavior, health, and welfare. I've cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals, and I'm comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet needs an adventurous walk, patient care as a senior, medication, or simply someone to make them feel safe while you're away, I tailor my care to their individual needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention I'd want for my own pets! As a full-time online Animal Health & Behavior student, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the day instead of rushing between jobs. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, evening visit, or overnight care, I'm able to give them the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and maintain their normal routine. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care while treating both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. With my experience as a former zookeeper, veterinary technician, and current Animal Health & Behavior student, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, administering medications when needed, and caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I'll follow your pet's routine closely and keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
