Dog Walking Jacksonville

About: I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. since I was a young teen, and I’ve had multiple furry best friends of my own over the past 15 years! I'm highly qualified to provide the best possible care for your beloved friend, including seniors and pets with special needs. I'm a volunteer dog-walker at the local animal shelter, and I have the ability to exercise high-energy dogs. I'd love to keep your cat or dog healthy & happy (and your home taken care of!) while you're away! My schedule is open and available for pet-sitting or dog-walking any day of the week! 24/7 available care when I overnight sit at your home In your home, I can stay overnight or make 1 house visit per day. I stick to the schedule you provide for feeding and walking so that your pet needs to make as few adjustments as possible to their daily routine.

“This guy is kickass. He really cares about your pet and he went out of his way to be respectful of any requests I had for my pup. He even showed up the night to introduce himself and get to know my pup named max. Max loves him and I probably will use his services in the future”

“Lexy is awesome. Her pictures always show a very happy dog. My Hazel is very pleased with her. Won’t hesitate to use her services again. Highly recommended.”

“We just met Anika. My dog is super shy with people when she first meets them, but not Anika. She definitely passed the vibe test for my dog Stella. I felt 100% comfortable having Anika come into my home and walk my dog. It is such a stress reliever knowing I can trust someone to help me care for Stella on a long work day. I definitely noticed on the days Anika walked Stella, Stella was way more chill when I got home from work . I appreciated Anika’s communication and her love for working with dogs is evident. She is not someone doing a side gig as a dog walker. She has years of experience and knowledge working with pets. I’m grateful we found her.”

With 8 years of personal ownership and hands-on experience, I understand the importance of finding a reliable and caring pet sitter. Rest assured, I am here to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your furry or scaly family members. I currently have a 5 year old golden retriever, two indoor cats, and a crested gecko! I love going on long evening and morning walks with my dog(recently I've had to avoid walking at midday due to the heat) or playing with a feather toy with my cats. I am patient and detail oriented. Dog Experience: I have owned and provided dog walking services for 5 years. I am well-versed in handling leash walking, basic training, administering medication, and maintaining a consistent routine. Your pup will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love during their stay with me. Cat Experience: I have been a cat owner for 8 years and understand the unique needs and many personalities of different kitties. I will make sure your cats feel comfortable and entertained while you're away. Litter box maintenance, feeding schedules, and providing a stress free environment are among my priorities. Reptile Experience: Alongside my love for dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for reptiles. Whether it's monitoring temperature and humidity levels, maintaining clean enclosures, or following specific dietary requirements, I am familiar with the care and attention that reptiles require. I work part time as a barista so my schedule can be a bit random at times! I usually work three days a week, although I'm never away for more than 6 hours at time. On my days off I have full availability and can give as much time as I have to your pets! Sadly I am not able to offer boarding, my house just isn't set up for it at the moment, maybe some day!

From monitoring temperatures and humidity, to providing a proper diet, your reptiles will be in capable hands. Other animals: I have some experience with rodent care and would feel comfortable caring for your smaller furry pets, my experience is with mice and gerbils but as long as I'm given proficient instructions I would be willing to care for other types of rodents

About: I've spent a lot of time around animals and truly enjoy caring for them! My brother has three very different dogs—a Bernedoodle, a Chihuahua mix, and a German Shepherd—so I’ve gotten hands-on experience with a wide range of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s a few hours or a few days, I’ve helped care for them with everything from walks and playtime to feedings and snuggles. I also have an orange cat at home, so I'm very comfortable with feline friends too! I'm patient, gentle, and know how to read pet behavior to make sure they're feeling safe and happy. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior in need of slower care, I’ll treat them like my own. I don’t have a fixed work schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility! My availability just depends on current bookings, so feel free to reach out—I’m often able to accommodate last-minute or custom requests. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and find a time that works best for both of us. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for. I’m respectful of your home and make sure your pet has everything they need—from fresh water and meals to playtime and cuddles. I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels to make sure pets stay safe and happy, and I’m always happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. My own orange cat has taught me how important a calm, loving environment is, and I bring that same energy to every pet I care for.

“Laura is great! My Perry loves to run and she takes him to a grassy area and runs with him. He also needs the running to keep his weight down since he won't do any other kind of exercise on his own. Laura is great with communicating with me about when she'll be here and about how the walk went. I just moved to Oregon lately and was worried about finding as great a dog walker as I had before but I needn't have worried. Laura is just as great as my last dog walker.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including both large dogs and cats. I previously worked in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I genuinely love getting outside for walks and hikes, and I’m happy to take your pup for a run if that’s their thing! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I tailor each day to your pet’s energy level and needs! Active dogs can expect walks, park time, and play, while more relaxed pets get gentler stimulation and calm cuddles. With my work-from-home schedule, your pet gets consistent care, supervision, and a low-stress environment! I treat every pet like they’re my own—safe, supervised, and well cared for. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments and sizes, and I’m comfortable administering medications as directed (including injections!). I maintain each pet’s routine as closely as possible and prioritize a calm, low-stress environment.
