Dog Walking in Jacksonville Heights West, Jacksonville, FL

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. And the last 4 years I have been taking care of 2 Rottweilers basically on my own. I have trained dogs of all sizes and I have the patience for a misbehaving dog. Plus I love dogs to much not to want to spend time with some and take them on walks. Usually after school I have nothing to do. So filling that time in with a little pet sitting would be beneficial for me. And the extra excessive I get wouldn’t be bad at all. I’m good with the basic necessities like feeding, walking, and interacting with the dog. Making sure they are not getting into something they’re not supposed to. Definitely walks because I’m not to happy about cleaning up a dogs waste.

About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!

“On time every day of the week for Anna's daily walks and available for adhoc needs. Anna is happy as a clam!”

About: Big Star Pet Care was started after my beloved senior dog of 10 years passed. I referred to him as my “Big Star” and through caring for others’ pets shortly after his loss, I found comfort and companionship. That’s why I give everyone my Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. After all, they are your Biggest Star and deserve to be treated as such even when you are away! I've taken care of many animals from: cats and dogs to ferrets, rats, snakes, geckos, birds, hamsters and most recently- toads. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I have experience with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. I strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). My pet services and one 3hr/day M-F babysitting job are my only sources of employment, so I have more than enough time to provide love, exercise and enrichment. I can make multiple drop in's per day at your home, stay at your home to care for and keep your animals company, or accommodate up to two pets from one family at my home. I do not accept more than one family at my home at one time in order to ensure your pet(s) receive the utmost care and attention while you are away. I live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, my wife who assists here and there with pet care (and is more than happy to act as a second set of eyes to keep watch and hands to pet), 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a new puppy. I can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the utmost care and attention.

About: As an avid pet lover, I have had cats and dogs since i was a child. I have many years in administering pet medication to include insulin for elder dogs . I currently work remote out of my home with great flexibility that meets you and your fur babies routine from walking to boarding I got you covered. I have a large fenced yard with toys, galore . I only have one medium size sized dog who is 8 years old. She does well with other animals and is very gentle with older dogs.

About: What truly sets me apart is my commitment to a stress free sitting for both the pet and the owner. I understand that leaving a pet can cause anxiety, which is why I focus on proactive communication. You’ll never have to wonder how things are going; I provide daily check-ins with high-quality photos and if requested, detailed updates on behavior, appetite, and exercise. My goal is to maintain your pet’s exact routine(if provided), so that the only thing they notice while you’re gone is a new friend, rather than a disruption to their sense of security. I'm a college student and my flexibile work schedule allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day, providing your pets with consistent companionship and supervision. I believe the best care happens when a pet's routine doesn't skip a beat, so I make it my mission to mirror their usual schedule exactly as you requested. Whether it's taking your pet for their morning walk or making sure the good treats are served right after dinner, i'll keep things predictable and calm for them. Since i'll be studying or taking classes from my laptop, i'll spend most of my time on the sofa or at the table with them, providing that constant body doubling to keep separation anxiety levels low while I stay on top of my responsibilities.

“Great 1st experience with Rover. Robyn was very professional , on time, communicated, and was great with my dog. Even played with him for a little bit before putting him back in the kennel. We will definitely be returning!”

About: I’ve been a lover of dogs & cats since I was a kid. Animals always gravitate towards me. I’ve had pets since I was about 15 years old. I have nothing but time to give to all pets. Your baby will get all the cuddles & butt scratches they can handle! I’m not working at the moment so I have all the time in the world to give to your furry babies! I’m able to do drop in visits/walks at your home. I can also do boarding at my home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your baby to run around & play. The house is big enough to keep all the babies separate just in case there are any temperament issues.

“Sarah is punctual, conscientious and Pepper loves her! They get a good walk and play time which makes everyone happy!”

About: My name is Shana. I have a very strong love for animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I have worked with many different kinds of animals for about 9 years. I currently work at a local animal hospital as a Vet technician and kennel manager. My duties there are caring for the health and the livelihood of both cats and dogs. Working in this field everyday I have learned emergency procedures and including CPR. Not only do I work with Animals I also own and have owned many as well. Anything from large breed dogs to reptiles and fish. Therefore, I am capable of sitting for more than just our canine and feline friends. I look forward to meeting new people and their pets.

“We love Kristen, she is great with our puppy and sends us very thorough updates each day. I look forward to them. We couldn't ask for a better person to walk and spend time with our puppy. She gives us complete peace of mind.”

About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and three years with cats, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. As a proud pet parent to a playful Pitbull, a loyal King Shepherd, a curious Tabby, and a cuddly Calico, I truly understand the unique needs and personalities that come with each breed and species. I’m experienced with everything from puppy energy to senior pet routines, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medications, and hygiene. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily support, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention Pet care is part of my everyday life. As a pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I’m already on a daily schedule that includes morning walks, feeding routines, playtime, and grooming. I structure my days around their needs, which makes it easy to integrate the care of other pets into my routine. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, midday walks, or evening feedings, I’m flexible and fully committed to making sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s how I live. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Walks are tailored to their pace and energy, and drop-ins include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love. I also make sure your home stays secure and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe.

About: Hi! I’m so excited to care for your pets 🤍 Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly feels like second nature to me. I’ve owned and cared for cats, dogs, and guinea pigs, and I’ve also fostered litters of kittens and puppies, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages and needs. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting for a wide variety of animals — from cats and dogs to more unique companions like snakes and squirrels — for both short- and long-term care. I’ve also worked with animal rescues and farms, where I cared for cows, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, and more. This experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, feeding routines, health awareness, and the importance of patience and consistency. I’m currently doing freelance work from my computer so my schedule is open and free to care for animal care! I spend plenty of time outdoors and love pet friendly environments so day trips with the pets is perfect for me since I can work from anywhere! Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, calm companionship, medication support, or just lots of cuddles, you can feel confident knowing they’re in experienced, capable, and caring hands. I take great care to familiarize myself with every detail of your home and carefully follow any rules or concerns you share. I understand how important it is to ensure your pets are safe and well cared for at all times. Any doors that need to remain closed will stay closed, and gates are always double-checked. I’ve had my own scares with nearly losing a beloved pet due to an accidentally left-open door, so I truly understand how critical mindfulness and attention to detail are when it comes to pet safety. You can trust that your home and pet family will be treated with the same care and respect as my own.

About: As someone who has always had a strong connection and love for animals since I was young I feel like I am the perfect sitter! I have taken care of many ranges of dogs, cats and even bunnies over the years and I love every second of it. I work part time as a babysitter so I have loads of free time in my schedule to care for your pets when you’re in need! I can help with offering love and company for your pets while you are away and help with feeding, walks, medication administration and whatever else is needed to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy.

About: Experienced, trusted, and genuine pet caretaker. Worked at PetSmart, animal shelters, dog parks, pet boarding, & dog daycare centers. Proper pet care is critical to me and animal welfare is my passion! ❗️ PLEASE READ ❗️For house-sitting bookings (specifically applies to dog care and/or multi-pet care), I offer 2 care plans that align with my availability: 1️⃣ Evening TLC - This includes care in your home from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM the next day, plus a quick mid-day drop-in. NOTE: There MUST be a clean area for me to sleep. Great for anxious pets who like comfort in the evening and a brief check-in! 2️⃣ Almost Overnight (-10% OFF discount if you choose this option) - I DO NOT stay overnight. In home care for a few hours in the evening before bedtime and a few hours the next morning + a mid-day drop-in. If there is no clean area for me to stay, this will be the default option. Great for pets that are more independent at bedtime/crated but enjoy activity and comfort throughout the day while keeping them on their schedule. ***At this time, I am unable to support additional drop-ins outside of these timeframes due to my full-time job. We can always discuss additional details during our meet & greet*** POLICIES: ➼ALL PETS IN THE HOME MUST BE ON THE BOOKING REQUEST ➼Dog walking services ONLY include a walk. If your pet needs additional care aspects (e.g., feedings, meds, play time), you MUST book a drop-in instead. ➼I am no longer able to split one-hour bookings into two separate 30-minute visits. Please book accordingly. ➼If you are going away overnight and only booking drop-in care for your dogs, I require a minimum of 3 drop-ins a day. I recommend opting for house-sitting instead for optimal care. It is very important to ensure I am a good fit as a sitter in our initial meet and greet, I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! For drop-ins, I can be very flexible on when I stop by because I work from home. I am available to drop in morning, afternoon, and evening. For house sitting, I offer two care plan options found on my profile. Please review my care plan options, and we can discuss your needs before deciding to book. I keep an eye on your pets at all times ensuring they are safe. Also ensuring they receive optimal care at all times, that closely mirrors their usual day-to-day.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs different breeds since I was 15. I walk, bathe, feed and play with the dogs as much as I can. I’m a part-time college student so pet care fits perfectly in my schedule throughout the week and weekends. It’ll be a fun additional side job. I have a fenced yard in a big spacious backyard for dogs to run around and play and have access to yard toys to play.

“I highly recommend Raina for whatever your pets needs may be. She was just awesome with my pup Bailey. She was super reliable and was always on time or early, which worked great for me. Communication was excellent. Bailey anxiously waited for Raina to show up and would spin in circles when she arrived. Bailey always took a nap when she got home from her walk, which is suprising for such a high energy dog. I can't speak highly enough of Raina. I will be a repeat customer for sure.”
