Dog Walking in Fruit Cove

About: I'm a retired RN. I've owned dozens of pets. All of them, from precious newborn babies to seniors. Pets have always been a huge part of our family lives in all of our homes. Their sweet innocence is so heart-warming to experience as they grow old with you. My mantra is, Treat them like they're your own! Pets, as well as their Humans. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands to play with and enjoy your fur-babies. And pet care fits perfectly because it brings so much joy to my life. I have a dog and a cat. They are both well-trained, which is why I generally leave them in the house to roam. These 2 are the best of friends;) In a client's home, of course, I will respect their wishes and rules for a great sitting experience, which we all can enjoy!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and owned several dogs for 10+ years. I have some volunteering experience at veterinary hospitals and basic medical training. I love dogs and they love me! I have several dogs and cats at home, and my schedule revolves around their care. I always take time to keep their routines comfortable for them, and work in training, playing, and of course cuddling! My animals are my top priority at all times. I deeply understand that I am responsible for their health and comfort. I always put their needs ahead of mine and make sure they are as happy as they can be!

“Kristin was able to come walk my dog very last minute for me! I work 12 hour shifts and my roommate last minute wasn’t able to be home to take my dog out. I sent Kristin a message the night before and she instantly replied saying she was able to. This helped me so much, will definitely use her services again!”

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 16 years now. I got my first dog, Sammy, in 2009 and I got my second dog, Penny, in 2017. My dogs were my best friends growing up. They both sadly passed away in 2023 and I miss them everyday. I have pet sat for multiple people around our community for both dogs and cats. I have done several volunteer experiences throughout the years with animals, including equine therapy and fostering a dog in college. During my breaks home from college, I worked in boarding at a local veterinary clinic. I gained valuable experience in grooming and administering medications with pets of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I recently moved home from college after graduating in May and just started graduate school at University of North Florida. I have classes throughout the day on Mondays and Wednesdays (I am available those days in the morning before 11 AM and at night after 7 PM). During the rest of the week, I am home and currently looking for more ways to spend my time when I am not doing school-related activities, homework, or volunteering. I am currently flexible to any pet care needs throughout the week and would be happy to help! For boarding, I am currently living at home with family in JCP. We have a spacious fenced in yard. There is no smokers, children, or other pets in the house. For drop ins, I have a car to get to any place needed. Safety is absolutely my number one priority for your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Kim was fantastic and a pleasure to work with! She was very attentive to Buster’s needs and he took to her straight away. Her reports of their walks were detailed and thorough. Highly recommend Kim!”

“Maria is great! My dog loves her, she is always happy to see her for her walks. Maria refills my dogs water and is prompt with her walks. You will be very happy with Maria!”

About: We have had English bulldogs for 20+ years. We not only have our own, but we foster and babysit for a local non profit. We have a lot of experience with dogs (all breeds), but specifically English Bulldogs. I work from home, so am around almost 24/7 to care for your doggie. I work from home 99.9% of the time and am able to be around your dog 24/7 to care for it's needs. If your dog is good in the car, he or she can join me when I have errands too. Working from home allows us to walk or feed your pet anytime. Lots of love and attention all day long! I have a large fenced in yard, two very dog friendly dogs, both females. We live in a safe neighborhood and walks are easy and enjoyable. We live close to a vet too.

About: I have been around dogs all my life. Currently mom of Benji he is 4 years old lhasa apso/shitzu. He is the light of my life and he loves being around smaller dogs like himself. Im a dog mom so I know how important is to have someone we can trust, count on when we need to leave them for a few days. I will treat them like my own. I work full time but most of my weekends are off. Just reach out and we will figure something out. I am a dog mom so I know and understand the importance of having someone taking care of our fur babies when we are gone. We have a fully fenced yard and closed lanai. Our home is pet friendly and secure. Benji has plenty of toys to share and extra bed.

About: Hi! I’m Carissa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all kinds — from energetic Chihuahuas and Yorkies to my two sweet Frenchies, including Luna, who’s been through two surgeries and needed lots of love and care. I’m comfortable with training routines, giving medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup needs a calm cuddle or a playful walk, I’m here to treat them like family! I’m working part time, my schedule is very flexible so I can meet and take care of your babies. Pet care is already a part of my daily life. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving meds when needed. Taking care of pets fits right into my routine and honestly brings me so much joy—I love making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My frenchie is very high maintenance so I will take care your baby like I take care of mine. I respect peoples home and will keep your animals safe at all times.

“I highly recommend Michele We’ve used her services multiple times, and she has consistently impressed us with her quick responses and excellent communication. My dog absolutely loves her, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away. It’s clear that she truly cares about animals. We’ll definitely be using her services again!”
