Dog Walking Girvin

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also previously worked at an animal hospital, which gave me valuable hands-on experience around pets with different personalities, ages, and care needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets and entering your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and drop-in visits while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m also very comfortable with cats and understand that sometimes earning their trust means giving them a little extra patience and space! I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. 🐶🐱❤️

“We are so grateful to have had Alexandra take care of our Mucho! She went above and beyond what we expected and truly treated him with so much care and attention. She even took the extra time to clean his crate and make sure everything around him was clean and comfortable. What we appreciated the most were her regular updates. Knowing how Mucho was doing throughout our trip gave us so much peace of mind. Alexandra was very attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, and we could tell that she was putting in extra effort to make sure he was happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely love to have her care for Mucho again in the future! Thank you so much, Alexandra, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! 🐾❤️”

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! Whenever you need me, I'm there! 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.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa. 🤗 What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, adaptable, and especially comfortable with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I have personal experience caring for a senior cat with diabetes, which has taught me how important consistency, observation, and attention to detail are when caring for an aging pet or one with additional needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding routines, medication instructions, and individualized care plans. I’m also very calm and capable in a crisis. If something unexpected happens, I don’t panic. I assess the situation, follow the appropriate steps, communicate with the owner, and make sure the pet’s safety comes first. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to stay level-headed when you’re not there. Above all, I pay attention to the little things: changes in appetite, bathroom habits, energy, behavior, and overall mood. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their person is away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. 🐾💛⭐️🤗✨ As an actress and social media content creator, my schedule is very flexible and currently quite open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work my days around their routines, whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and having a flexible schedule means I’m not constantly rushing off to another commitment. Your pet can get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Basically, I’m happy to let your pet be my boss. 😂🐾 Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I give pets time to become familiar with the surroundings and neighborhood rather than overwhelming them. I pay close attention to their stress levels, body language, appetite, energy, and behavior so I can adjust their care to what they’re communicating. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Along with caring for your pets, I’m happy to handle everyday things like tending to gardens, taking out the trash, doing dishes, bringing in mail, and keeping the home tidy. I want you to come home to happy pets and a home that feels just as you left it. 🐾

About: We’ve owned many dogs before. We travel frequently for longer periods of time so we can’t have another of our own in this season. We still want to fill the time we are home with a dog in the house and be able to help out families. I work from home and my husband is a teacher so he is home mid afternoon and each evening. We are in and out during the weekends. We live very close to a dog park if that is something your dog is interested in and love going on walks around the neighborhood. We love spending time outside in the backyard or cuddled on the couch. We also have plenty of space if your dog prefers to be in a crate or on its own.

“Great communication and very helpful! Highly recommended”

“Catherine was great! Responsive, attentive and so kind to our pup! She was punctual and very easy to work with, would definitely recommend and use again for future bookings. Billie was a happy and tired girl, she enjoyed the walks and playtime together.”

About: Every animal has a unique personality. During our time together, I love discovering shared interests with your pets so we both have a genuinely fun experience. Animals are exceptionally intuitive and pick up on our energies, which is why I always bring my calmest, happiest, and most present self to every interaction. I own a pet care business called George Sits LLC in Jacksonville, and I am looking to fill my books! I would leave only to stop in on other pets nearby who may also be in my care. I have multiple years working and volunteering at boarding facilities and shelters, and I have never been petless myself. Growing up, we had dogs, chickens, snakes, guinea pigs, geckos, and so so so many cats. My Approach to Care For Dogs: Built entirely on positive reinforcement, encouragement, and active engagement. For Cats: Built on respect and consent. I understand that royalty makes the rules, and I'm happy to follow whatever boundaries your cat sets for me. Earning Your Trust I understand that handing over the keys to your home and leaving your sweet companion in someone else's hands requires immense trust. Earning and maintaining that trust is my #1 priority. That is why I offer a complimentary Meet & Greet for all new clients, giving us a chance to connect and make sure we’re a perfect fit before you book.

“Elaine is amazing with our Coco! We are so thrilled to have found her. She goes above and beyond on rainy days with our girl making sure her paws are clean when she comes inside. And that she has her rain coat on.”

About: Hi! I’m Lauren — an active, outdoorsy person who recently traded the corporate grind for a little more freedom, and I’m excited to spend some of that time with your dog or cat! I grew up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I especially enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m equally happy hanging out with a pup who just wants some company. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, communicate throughout the visit, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for. I’ve also put in time sitting cats - including some high-maintenance felines that needed special medication administered. You can trust me to follow instructions closely! I have a very flexible schedule right now while I am pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. I’d love to use dog sitting as a regular part of my schedule to get outside and keep moving - recurring bookings welcomed! 😊 I am meticulous and am always sure to completely close and secure all gates, doors, exits, etc. I’ll always keep my eye on your pet to keep them safe and comfortable.

About: We are a family of 3 people who really want to add a dog as a family member but unable to take on the financial responsibility at this time so this might be the next best thing, just genuine love for your pets, no special skills at this time. Currently work from home and have the ability to be very present with your dog. My 2 children have been reminding me that I promised them a dog by the time my son turns 10 and my daughter is 8. I'm just not ready to find my forever dog yet- My son is now 11 and daughter is ready to turn 9 right after Christmas and we have loved having your dogs as a part of our family while you're away! In my home, treating them like our own part of the family. We are a playful family and we like getting out of the house on walks and do things like Riverside Arts Market and the beach. In your home, will follow your guidelines and be just as loving and attentive

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and even horses since childhood. Friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with their fur babies, a privilege which I take very seriously. I enjoy spending time with all animals, whether that be playing, walking, bathing, feeding, or afternoon napping. I work full time Monday through Friday, and have the option to work from home on a weekday if needed. I am available for boarding Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and for all other services Monday through Friday after 5:00pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. I live in a house in a safe, small neighborhood with sidewalks and have a large backyard. I can easily crate if needed and provide the care and services accordingly based on each clients’ requests.

“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: I have taken care of pets for friends and family for quite some time now. Also I have worked for an emergency vet, which provided some useful skills and knowledge to ensure safe pet care. From fur babies to seniors I am here for your fur children’s needs when you can’t be.🤗 I’m currently starting my own business, doing house cleaning in the mornings as well as bartending some nights. My schedule is flexible according to what you may need. I come for a meet and greet to make sure of our compatibility, creating some familiarity. Taking pets for walks as needed, I will also wash them if you like/if needed. I usually ask for a list of typical daily routine and preferred feeding methods etc. for a solid guideline and go from there.

“Alexandria was amazing! I got called into work and she was a life savor today. She showed up on time and followed all my directions. I loved receiving the photos of Bentley afterwards too. He was such a happy boy when I got home today. I will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Do you have a dog that understands your words so now you have to spell them out when talking? Haha if so I totally understand, having been a dog owner or had a family dog since I was 13 I am all aware of a lifestyle with a dog. I am familiar and comfortable with potty training, potty pickup/clean up and positive reinforcement. I can feed whatever diet no matter how many steps it involves for your pup. I enjoy play time and walks if that is part of their regular routine. I am not breed specific as I believe all dogs are born good dogs and I love meeting new breeds. I am also familiar with caring for females in heat and diaper care. I will use any commands you wish so all training doesn't skip a beat in my presence. I also Excell at relating to and caring for CATS! They will stay so entertained with me and will recieve all the pets, lap time and behind the ear scratches that they will allow me to give. I am extremely comfortable caring for cats and making sure they are well tended. I am a stay at home mom with 2 cats and a dog, the humans are in school now during the day so I am free most days. At my current home I cannot offer inhome care but I am free to visit your pets. I am very comfortable with you having in home cameras and I can/will offer video chats anytime I am in your home.
