Dog Walking in Girvin, Jacksonville, FL

“Karin was amazing, so sweet and took great care of my dog. We had 5 appointments with her. She spent time playing with him and giving him attention and I received several pictures in his rover card everyday. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“We decided to take a last minute day trip and Madeline responded right away, despite my request being so early in the morning. She followed instructions to a T, and took our girl to Brewhound instead of walk. Thanks again!”

“Very satisfied with the service we got from Molly. She took care of our very anxious dog after a trans-continental move. Our dog quickly trusted her and we are relieved to have found such a nice person to take care of our dog while we’re at work! Highly recommend!”

“Katie did an amazing job with my pups. It was the first time leaving them with someone else taking care of them. She made me feel so comfortable about it and gave me updates and photos to let me know they were ok. On top of that the pups loved her. She did a meet and greet with them before hand and they picked her basically out of others I met. They wouldn’t leave her side when they first met her. She is such a sweet heart and I will definitely being using her again in the future. Thank you again Katie. You’re the best!”

About: From a young age my grandma volunteered me to help look after our neighbors pets. But it never felt like a chore. I mean, is there any better job? I'd start with one house, & word of mouth had me sitting for a handful of neighbors! Overnight as well. Sitting was always for dogs, & I'm already a long time cat owner, so I'm the best of both worlds! I work part time as my main job, so I can pop in or stay overnight to look after your pets no problem! I'm best available Thursdays & Fridays, but can sit any night. I'm very respectful of my clients homes. I'll always leave it how it was found. Your pet will get all the care they desire, & the care you demand.

“I highly recommend Catherine! She is reliable, kind, and flexible. She is willing to work with my dog who sometimes jumps/pulls and I appreciate that :) I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals.”

“Meg was very responsive and reliable! She always sent pictures during her walks with ruby which were much appreciated. I definitely will be using her services again and would absolutely recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Marlene R. and I have spent the past few years dedicating my life to animal rescue and fostering dogs and puppies. I am now home full time and am looking to spend my extra free time with animals. I will treat your fur baby as if he or she is my own. I love going for walks/runs and having a furry companion only makes it better! I have a fully fenced in yard at my home that your dog is able to enjoy any time of the day, as I have a doggy door that allows them to go in and out at their leisure. They will always be supervised when they are in my home and outside. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pupper!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and attention. I’m especially skilled at establishing routines, managing medications, and understanding different pet temperaments. I always approach every pet with patience and care. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and reliability. I treat every pet as if they were my own, keeping their well-being and happiness as my top priority. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and notes, so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. I have a Yorkshire Terrier named Rosie. She and I are best buddies. From the moment I brought her home, she has been my unofficial child. I completely understand how hard it is to trust someone else with your best friend so anything I can do to make you feel comfortable, I would. I feel at ease with cats as well! I wake up and immediately let my dog Rosie out of her kennel to do her morning zoomies and good mornings throughout the house. While she’s checking for intruders (and crumbs), I give my cat Lolli some pets. Following this, I check my chameleon Wilbur’s enclosure to make sure his temperature and humidity levels are just right. Rosie and I go outside for our morning walk around the neighborhood, where she says hello to every object in our vicinity. I feed all of my pets and make sure they have plenty of water. I take Rosie to potty every hour or so, ensure lolli’s litter is clean, and check Wilber throughout the day. Rosie and I finish up the day with an evening walk before bedtime. I have a friendly doggy to keep your baby company. Rosie and I go outside numerous times a day and I’ll take yours out as often as needed.

“Jen just started walking my dog & I am so happy! She came to do a meet & greet beforehand & was very professional & good with my Daisy. She sent pictures of her during the walk & made sure my house was locked before leaving. I came home to a very happy dog. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years and started pet sitting professionally about a year ago. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I’m reliable, easy to reach, and happy to keep you updated with photos and check-ins. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Pet care fits easily into my day, I work part time, just three days a week, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets. I’m used to planning around feedings, walks, and check-ins. I’ll always make sure your pet feels loved, cared for, and well looked after! Whether I’m caring for pets at my place or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I do my best to follow their usual routines and make sure they feel secure and well cared for. I’m always mindful of special instructions, and I ensure that meals, walks, playtime, and any other needs are handled just the way they’re used to. If they’re staying with me, they’ll enjoy plenty of love, attention, and a cozy space to relax in.

About: Currently, I have two energetic Australian Shepherds. My experience with them and other animals has given me strong understanding of needs and behaviors, especially when it comes to managing high-energy breeds. I am very comfortable and confident in providing attentive care. I’m available for boarding on the weekends, and before 8:30 am after 5 pm on the weekdays. I am flexible on my availability on Thursday-Fridays since I WFH these days. I have a fenced backyard and 2 friendly Australian Shepherds ready to make new friends! Our home is spacious and we can separate dogs, if needed to provide a calm environment

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I’m gentle, dependable, and truly pay attention to what each pet needs. This isn’t just a job to me; it’s a responsibility I take seriously because I know how much these animals mean to you. I had my cat since she was a tiny kitten and I was just 8 years old. She recently passed away at 17 years old, and caring for her through every stage of her life gave me deep experience with senior pets and the extra attention they require. I also have a senior dog back home in Minnesota, so I’m very familiar with what to look out for as pets age and how to keep them comfortable and happy. Now I have two big dogs that I love deeply, and I’ve also lived with and cared for many other cats and dogs throughout my life. I’ve been dogsitting, cat sitting, and dog walking for friends and family since I was a teenager. I’ve also lived with and cared for some more exotic animals too. Whether I’m helping shy animals feel safe, following specific routines, or just being someone they can relax around, I always approach it with love and respect. If your pet needs someone calm, caring, and dependable, I’d be honored to help. Pet care is a regular part of my daily life since I have two big dogs and a cat of my own. I’m already in the rhythm of feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, and giving them lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to fit in drop-in visits easily and give each pet the time and care they deserve. I always try to create a calm, safe environment by following the pet’s routine and giving them space to feel comfortable. I never force interaction and let them come to me on their own terms. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect.

“Sherri is such a delight to have as our dog sitter. She cares for our pets as if they were her own. I’m never worried about leaving them while I’m out of town, and she makes my time away much more relaxing as I never have a concern. She’s attentive and keeps me updated on each visit! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello fellow dog lovers! As an enthusiastic and experienced dog sitter, my goal is to provide your canine companion with a safe, fun, and loving environment that feels just like home. I understand that leaving your dog can be tough, and I'm dedicated to ensuring they receive personalized care, plenty of exercise, and boundless affection while you're away. Having grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I'm comfortable with various breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, vigorous playtime, or simply snuggling on the couch, I'm committed to meeting their individual needs and maintaining their routine to minimize stress. From energetic puppies to calm seniors, I'm equipped to provide the attentive care your dog deserves. My services are designed to keep your dog happy and healthy, and can include: * **Tailored Exercise:** Daily walks, park visits, or backyard playtime to suit their energy levels and preferences. * **Consistent Feeding:** Adhering strictly to their meal schedule and dietary requirements. * **Fresh Water & Comfort:** Ensuring constant access to fresh water and a comfortable, clean resting area. * **Playtime & Mental Stimulation:** Engaging them with toys, puzzles, and interactive games to keep them entertained. * **Affection & Cuddles:** Providing plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and loving attention. * **Medication Administration:** Experienced in safely administering oral or topical medications if needed. * **Potty Breaks:** Frequent and timely potty breaks to maintain their routine. * **Regular Photo/Video Updates:** Giving you peace of mind with regular updates on your dog's well-being and adventures. I am passionate about creating a positive and nurturing experience for your dog, treating them with the same love and respect I give my own. You can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, responsible, and experienced hands, enjoying their time while you're away. While I do have a full time job I still have lots of free time to take care of your furbabies and ensure they feel all the love and attention that they would normally get when you're home. Providing care in a client's home is all about maintaining the pet's familiar environment and routine, reducing their stress, and offering the convenience of not moving their pet. * **Maintaining Routine:** This is paramount. I strictly adhere to the pet's established feeding schedule, walk times, and medication administration as provided by the owner. * **Familiar Surroundings:** The pet remains in their own home, surrounded by their scents, toys, and sleeping areas, which significantly reduces anxiety. * **Personalized Attention:** During my visits or overnight stays, the pet receives my undivided attention. This includes focused playtime, grooming (if needed), and plenty of one-on-one affection. * **Home Security:** As a house sitter, I also ensure the general security of the home. This includes bringing in mail, rotating lights, watering plants, and maintaining a lived-in appearance. * **Cleanliness:** I maintain the cleanliness of the pet's areas, including cleaning food bowls, scooping litter boxes, cleaning up any accidents, and ensuring the general tidiness of the areas I use. * **Exercise & Stimulation:** Walks are taken on their usual routes (if applicable), and playtime is conducted with their favorite toys in familiar settings. * **Health & Safety:** I diligently observe the pet for any health changes and follow all emergency protocols as instructed by the owner, including contacting their vet if necessary. I ensure all doors and gates are secure. * **Communication:** I provide frequent updates, including photos and videos, detailing the pet's activities and well-being. This ensures owners feel connected and informed. * **Respect for Home:** I treat the client's home with the utmost respect, leaving it as clean or cleaner than I found it.
