Dog Walking Englewood

About: ​I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. ​My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. ​Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. ​I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.

“Scott was Pierogi's dog walker for almost a year and did an excellent job every time. Very trustworthy and thorough and you can tell he cares. He's a true professional and if I weren't moving to NJ I'm sure he would be my dog walker for much longer. Highly recommend.”

About: I am a high school teacher looking for work with animals! I have 1 dog and he gets along well with other dogs! I am active and love to take long walks, hikes, and trips to the park with my own dog. I have provided care for dogs with medication and special needs. Hoping to help out anyone who is in need of pet care. Being a teacher, I am very flexible with hours. I live on the southside of Jacksonville near Memorial Hospital so I am convenient to many places in town and I am willing to travel to areas just outside of Jacksonville as well. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!

“Thank you so much, Aaliyah! We were very happy with your service and the way you took care of Soda. We felt completely at ease during our absence thanks to your presence with our daughter. We truly appreciate your kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend you!”

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for many years to help my family and friends. It’s time to be rewarded for my love for animals and be paid by others for my services. It’s hard to find good “customer service” these days; I am the opposite, your pets will get great service/attention from ME! Bonus: my career has been as an Administrative Assistant so I’m very organized and can assist with other things too, if needed, requested and discussed. I am currently unemployed and have all the time in the world to care for my pet and yours. Toodles of course would stay home. Toodles is an inside cat. She is proven healthy and well fed, I clean the litter box and her food bowls daily. She gets treats and love. We just bought her a new perch to watch the birds and lizards outside the window. In someone else’s home with their pets, I care for them exactly as asked. Walks, feed, love, crate (if necessary), it is what the client wants that their pet shall get!

“Holly is a great walker! She responds quickly and helps us out when we need her. Highly recommend.”

About: I have cared for countless litters of newborn puppies, ensuring they are alive and thriving. I have been helping my family with this since I was about 7 years old. I am comfortable and confident with delivering any needed vitamins or medications on time, not squeamish at all, and super loving with these sweet creatures. I know how to act if any aggression arises with the animals as well. I am currently in school for 4-5 hours per weekday, excluding Fridays. While pet sitting, I try to be home as much as possible outside of school hours. I provide a safe area for pets so they are comfortable and free to move around, with lots of outdoor time. If the weather is nice, we may spend extended time together outside in my fenced in backyard. At a clients home, I will respect the home and care for the pets in the same way the client would in that space.

“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”

Jasmine R.

“Ashley was a wonderful help for me. She was incredibly supportive of my dog’s needs and was on time. I will Definitely reach out if I need dog walking help in the future. 10/10 recommend here.”

About: Hi! Im Danielle,! I grew up around a variety of animals- horses, bunnies, parrots dogs and cats! My dream is to open up a rescue/shelter because no animal deserves to go without a loving home. My boyfriend and I have 3 boy cats which we rescued who are our heart and soul and they truly saved us. I have had multiple dogs as well which were my pride and joy. We both grew up on/around a farm and the love we have for all walks of life is what drives me to give your pets the best care possible ! What sets me apart from others is the genuine love and kindness I have for animals because each and everyone has a back story and they all deserved to be loved the same. Dogs aren’t just friends, they are family and that’s why I take pride in helping other owners like myself find someone who they trust to help them one belly rub at a time I am available 5/6 days a week! I left my full time job and I am now pursuing the chance to provide owners with comfort and stress free care because your fur babies mean just as much to me as they do to you! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space how I would expect mine to be treated and that’s with respect. By ensuring that I keep same routine that your fur baby is used to will make sure that they feel comfortable because meeting someone new can be nerve wracking. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and are loved as if they were my own — and I keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things familiar and stress-free. I follow all instructions provided and always double-check things like food portions, medication (if needed), and security (locked doors, gates, etc. Clean-up and tidiness are a priority too; I leave your space just as I found it, or better.

“Evan is absolutely amazing. He is very patient and calm with my dog. Absolutely trust him to take care of my baby.”

“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”

About: About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for both dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. Pets have always been a central part of my life, not just as companions, but as family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every animal I sit. I work from home, which means I have a ton of flexibility and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet loves company, routines, playtime, or quiet supervision, I’m able to adapt to their needs rather than fitting them into a rigid schedule. A Holistic, Toxin-Free Home I take a holistic approach to pet care. My home is completely toxin-free, no artificial fragrances, harsh cleaners, or strong chemical smells, making it a calm, clean, and safe environment, especially for sensitive pets. I’m very mindful of stress levels, comfort, routines, and creating a peaceful space where animals can truly relax. Experience & Special Care I have hands-on experience administering medication and caring for senior dogs and cats. I recently said goodbye to my own dog after a long, beautiful 13 years together, which deepened my understanding of senior care, patience, and gentle attention. I’m comfortable supporting pets with special routines, mobility needs, or medications and always prioritize communication and consistency. Your Pet’s Home Away From Home I have a very secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, plus extra rooms inside the house if your dog or cat prefers having their own space. That said, pets are always welcome to hang out wherever they feel most comfortable, on the couch, by my desk, or soaking up the calm energy of the home. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and truly at home while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I work from home and I have plenty of flexibility to go on walks, play and give your pet the adequate attention needed. I am also very active so I can go on walks often if needed. I have a large house, fit for pets to have plenty of room to explore. I also have a fenced backyard great for dogs to play.

“Katie was awesome! She came over to meet my dog beforehand and he had three walks with her. I loved her detailed “report card” and getting cute photos of my dog. I feel super comfortable with her taking care of my dog and will be asking for her help again in the near future.”

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.

About: I have fostered cats and kittens for approximately ten years, and know the commitment, awareness, and love it takes to connect with animals of all personality types. I have two cats of my own that were foster-fails, so I am very well versed in the needs of all different kinds of cats, and I will apply the same loving care and attention I provide to my own to your pets. I am extremely aware and will always focus on the safety of your pet. I grew up with two dogs as well, and have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors on top of my own dogs. I truly love animals, and want to spend my free time taking care of them. You can trust me with your cats and dogs! I'm currently working part-time, so when I am not doing that I have plenty of time to spare taking care of your pets! I am available on weekends, after work, and the weekdays I am not working. I will be respectful of your home and your pets, always! You can trust me to know that your home and animals are left in safe and trusting care.
