It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s sticking to a senior dog’s routine, keeping up with an energetic pup, or helping a nervous pet feel safe while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares about your pets, I’d love to help. Whether you need consistent midday walks or a sitter who will keep your home running smoothly while you're away, I treat your routine like a standing commitment not a favor. Flexible, reliable, and always on time. Your pets won't know you're gone. My experience with dogs spans a lifetime, not just a job listing. I was raised alongside Pekingese from puppyhood all the way through end-of-life care, so I understand what devoted, long-term companionship actually looks like. I've also lived with a highly active, strictly regimented Australian Cattle Dog, so high-drive, routine-dependent dogs don't intimidate me. They just require respect, consistency, and follow-through.
“Stormee is awesome...She definitely has a lot experience with dogs. Our dog Baby has some trusting issues, but Stormee was able to understand Baby and went at her peace, and Baby started getting confortable with Stormee. Baby enjoyed her walk a lot and came back very happy. Thanks a lot Stormee!!!”


About: I’ve taken care of my lab that is no longer with me for 7 years and I frequently host my friends dogs for weeks at a time while they are deployed. I work for the U.S. Coast Guard Monday through Friday. My normal work hours are 8-2 but the hours flex daily and I usually have at least one day off through the week not including weekends. I have a fenced in backyard and I live by myself so your pet will have free reign over the property. I can also crate your dog if needed while I’m out of the house.
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
About: With over 15 years of experience, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a gentler touch. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to provide safe walks, meals, clean-ups, and plenty of affection while they’re away. I know every animal has its own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I focus on making each pet feel secure and cared for. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive with seniors, and happy to match the energy of those who love playtime. Whether it’s a long walk, quiet company, or keeping daily routines on track, I bring reliability, warmth, and respect to every visit. My goal is to make your time away stress-free—knowing your pets are in gentle, capable hands. I am able to be very flexible with my schedule and routine. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own and no children. Clients can expect me to treat their home as my own. I clean up after myself and any animals in my care. Respecting the living space of others is very important to me and I do not mind if security cameras are in place.

About: We have had dogs for most of our life, we are away from our lovely dogs so we will take care of your pets as if they were ours! We love pets more than we love people! Currently working from home and new to town, so we both have lots of free time to dedicate to your lovely pets and give them all the scratches, head pats and treats. We will treat your pets as our own, we miss them a lot so a lot of cuddles are in order! The apartment has a closed balcony with mosquito net, there's a lot of green areas to walk around and we love walking to get to know the neighborhood.
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!

Shira is an absolute gem! She has been walking my dog regularly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care, reliability, and professionalism. From day one, it was clear how much she truly loves animals—my dog took to her instantly, which is rare! Shira is always punctual, communicative, and goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a last-minute schedule change or an extra-long walk on a sunny day, she’s flexible and kind. I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends after each walk—it gives me such peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog comes home happy and well-exercised, which says it all. I trust Shira completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and dependable dog walker. She’s the best!
