Dog Walking Winter Park

About: Beginning in childhood, I’ve had several dog breeds (over 20!) that I’ve been tasked to take care of, play with, keep healthy and whose needs I’ve grown to pay attention to and understand. I adore animals and I approach them gently and mindfully, always considering what support will help prolong their lifespan and keep them happy, yet trained and behaved. My friends and family often call on me to either keep their pets company, train or housesit them, and I’m always more than happy to spend time with their animals. I firmly believe pets are not toys, and much more like our own kids, deserving of care, compassion, joy and attention. I have 17+ years experience taking care of and loving French bulldogs and pugs, who notoriously require extra responsibility, attention and instruction, as they can be stubborn and prone to health and breathing issues (often brought on by heat). I have cared for senior dogs who deserve nothing but love towards the end of their lives, and also puppies who need time spent on training and feeling safe, and lots of play and activity to stimulate their growing minds. I am a graduate student, with flexible availability between Saturday to Tuesday, during my off days, when I’ll be studying from home, often lounging and relaxing in my space. Having a pet to look after, feed and care for would not only be a very welcomed time commitment, but would make my space feel even more homely and bring me joy. I have enough time to play with dogs, pay attention to their unique needs and keep them active and joyful, or to simply accompany them while they rest and rejuvenate. I have a spacious apartment and a shaded dog park within my apartment community, as well as a dog wash corner next to the park - helpful during hot days in Florida. I am extremely mindful towards any pet staying with me, and provide them with a comfortable, safe and cooled space, in which I am committed to staying aware of their habits, likes and dislikes, and learning to understand their groove. There are several areas for them to use the bathroom outside, take a walk within the apartment community, as well as designated pee pads inside the apartment. I am happy to be in touch with the clients as often as needed, to help them feel at ease about letting their little one stay with someone new. I care about building trust with a dog, and taking the time to grow our bond, so they can be at ease in their surroundings and reduce any anxiety from a new environment.

“Izzy was a warm and consummate professional and kept me updated about my dogs every time she came. She was great with them and even found a creative way to administer one of them their medication when he wasn’t taking it. I really appreciate hwr help keeping my puppies taken care of over the new year and would instantly hire her again.”

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs and understand the extra patience and care they need. Friends and family have trusted me for years to walk their dogs and provide reliable, loving pet sitting. I treat every pet like my own—whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while you're away. I’m a college student on summer break, so I have a lot of free time and a super flexible schedule right now. Pet care fits in really easily for me—I’m available most days and happy to work with whatever routine your pet is used to! Whether I’m watching your pet at my place or yours, I make sure they’re safe, comfy, and happy. I follow your instructions and give them lots of love. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own and always be watching them with my full attention!

“Anyone would be lucky to have her as there walker! She is always prompt and really cares for my dog. She was able to help me out several times on nonscheduled days! We are moving out of her range. We will miss her”

“David is an absolute professional! He recently looked after my two dogs, Ron and Fred, and did an outstanding job. David went above and beyond by taking extra time to meet and get to know them before the actual dog sitting started. His incredible dog training skills were evident right from the start, and my dogs absolutely adored him. I could tell they were in very capable hands. I highly recommend David for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter and/or trainer.”

About: I'm so excited to welcome, play with and care for your furry love. Please read the following: I am accessible by phone all the time, and I love taking pictures, so you can expect to get lots of updates of how your dog is doing! Your dog’s stay will not overlap with other dogs so your dog will receive the care and attention he or she deserves! - DAYCARE: The neighborhood is very pet friendly. Doggy bags nearby. - WALKS: Can personally walk your dog up to 2 miles. We stay active! Give your dog the walk he/she deserves while you're away at work or on vacation. - DOGGY BAGS / DOGGY BOWLS: Please provide the necessary items your dog needs while away. It's a good idea to reserve dates as soon as you know you need me! We can schedule a time to meet briefly before the first stay so we can discuss details and get you familiar with my home. In your booking request, please include your drop off and pick up times. Check out my rate and time guidelines above. I'm very flexible on times with a couple exceptions, which can be discussed. Please send your dog with their food (either pre-portioned or with a measuring scoop/cup), their treats, leash and collar and any other items such as toys. If your dog is crate trained, please bring that too. Please message me for any questions. I'm so excited to get to know you and looking forward to sitting your furry one. Weekly routine includes waking up, several walks during the day, constant updates to clients and ensuring there's a happy exciting day every day. The day varies as the client or pet! Pets are spoken to, walked, and given proper attention. For previous clients during week long stays, they were played with, fed and given baths in addition to constant updates!

Autumn followed instructions perfectly so I could feel safe leaving my fur baby. She provided many photos, was professional and I would not hesitate to book her again.

“Rebecca helps me with all my pets. She even went with me to pick up my Irish Setter puppy from boarding after I had surgery, since I was too weak to handle him. I really appreciated her willingness to help me with this situation.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a senior dog who I’ve cared for since I was 13, so I understand how to be patient and attentive with older pets. I also help take care of my neighbors’ and family friends’ dogs regularly. I’m a full-time student who also works, but pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy. Spending time with dogs is a peaceful escape for me, and I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. My experience with pets of all ages and my genuine passion for animals is what sets me apart from other sitters. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout my week. I’m completely available on weekends and can care for your pet after 4 PM on weekdays.

When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully and keep their routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I respect their space and always make sure pets feel relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I provide regular walks, play, and updates, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

“I would not hesitate to recommend Rylee for your pet’s needs. She has been wonderful. It is evident that she knows how to handle a dog, is punctual and keeps me informed. I am so grateful to have Rylee at a time when I cannot walk Lincoln myself”

About: I’ve taken care of both cats and dogs over the past 5 years and have my own cats who just turned 2 this year. For cat check-ins, I can bring my own cat toys to help get your cat some activity while staying in the home. I’m 6’9” and can handle walking big dogs as well! I currently work from home with limited meetings, so pet care can be a priority during the typical work day! I’m generally available any weekday until 6pm! I can help get that needed energy out of your cat or dog! I love to play, walk, and generally spend time with animals. I’ve rarely if ever met a cat or dog that didn’t warm up to me, and I want to build trust with you AND your animal.
