Dog Walking in Normandy Estate, Jacksonville, FL

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.

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.

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!

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: I have 7 dogs, 4 cats, and 3 guineas pigs here at home, so I have a lot of experience with many kinds of animals, all shapes and sizes. I can deal with any type of breed, and any type of pet (snakes, bearded dragons, etc.). I can walk, feed, and spend lots of time with the animals if needed. I prefer watching the animals at the client's home, since I have so many animals already. This job sounds perfect for me because I love animals so much, and it has a flexible schedule. Since I do have many animals at home, I am not able to stay over night at houses. However, I am able to stay late (11pm) and arrive early (7am) if needed. In my own home, we rotate the dogs outside every 45 minutes. We feed our animals at 7 am and 12 pm. I can adjust to any schedule recommended by the client. We work our dogs a bit different since there are so many.

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

“We appreciate how flexible Rileigh is with last minute pup or time changes. And not to mention the help in providing extra enrichment and training opportunities.”

“Katie was awesome! She came over to meet my dog beforehand and he had three walks with her. I loved her detailed “report card” and getting cute photos of my dog. I feel super comfortable with her taking care of my dog and will be asking for her help again in the near future.”

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.

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

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 have experience running an animal rescue. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and many different breeds as well as other animals, ie chickens, cats, horses, goats. Let me help you! I am very flexible and will work with the schedule you need for your fur babies to ensure the best possible care. I have dogs myself. I know everyone has their own way of doing things. I will work with you to provide the best care possible on your terms.

About: I've had the privilege to have had cats growing up. I also had several of my own over the years. My friends give me the privilege to take care of their cats while they are away. I am available for home visits to check on the cat any day of the week at any time of the day as needed, per request. I can check in on the cat, feed them and clean the litter box. I would stop by as needed throughout the day or week.

About: With a lifelong love for cats and hands-on experience caring for medium to large dogs, I’ve honed my attentive, personalized pet care skills. I’m the proud parent of a gentle German Shepherd with sensitive gastrointestinal needs, which has given me expertise in managing strict feeding schedules, specialized diets, and monitoring health to keep tummies happy and healthy. What sets me apart is my dedication to tailored care, whether it’s accommodating dietary restrictions or offering gentle companionship for timid or senior pets. I excel at creating calm environments for anxious animals and have a knack for positive reinforcement training, especially with puppies, to build confidence and good habits from the start. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me! As a full-time high school educator (Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 3 PM), my schedule is structured yet flexible, allowing me to dedicate afternoons, evenings, and weekends entirely to pet care. This means I can provide midday check-ins, long walks, or overnight stays without rush, ensuring your furry friends get the attention they deserve. Weekends are all about fun adventures and quality time, while my own German Shepherd keeps me attuned to daily pet rhythms, balancing play, feeding, and cuddles seamlessly into my routine for happy, well-cared-for pets! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety by conducting a thorough walkthrough upon arrival to identify and secure any potential hazards, like loose wires, toxic plants, or escape routes. I adhere strictly to your routines and instructions for feeding, medications, and playtime, using positive reinforcement to keep pets calm and happy. To build trust, I provide regular updates with photos and videos via the app and am always transparent about any incidents, no matter how minor. I treat your home with the utmost respect, leaving it cleaner than I found it, and ensure doors/windows are locked for security. I create a stress-free space for the environment by maintaining familiar scents and sounds, using gentle handling for anxious pets, and incorporating enrichment like puzzle toys or cozy naps in their favorite spots. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority!

“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 worked at a professional dog boarding and training facility for the past year, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly understand the care, patience, and attention they need to thrive. Currently, I have two dogs that live inside with me and two that stay outside, so I’m comfortable with different living arrangements and routines. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just a quiet walk, I treat every dog like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as I only work part-time on Wednesdays and Sundays, leaving me plenty of free time throughout the week to focus on caring for pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and playtime throughout the day, not just in the mornings or evenings. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, extended stays, or last-minute needs, I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care requests while keeping each pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I have a partially fenced-in yard with a secure, enclosed play area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise under supervision. For extra safety, I always keep a close eye on them during outside time. Inside, dogs are treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and space to relax. If needed, I can crate your dog based on your preference or their routine to ensure they feel secure and at ease. I’m also happy to care for pets in your home, keeping them in their familiar environment and sticking closely to your instructions and schedule.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. I currently have a dog. I’m trained in teaching your dog in basic puppy education. Neighbors have relied on me to bathe and walk their dogs. I currently am Active Duty, but I am home pretty often between morning PT, lunch, and completely home after work. I monitor my dog using my in home camera when I’m away and 100% when in person. I’m also in college so I’m typically home when I’m not working. I have a fenced yard for animals when they want to play outside. I have a kennel for those that are crate trained. I’m able to provide your animals medications if needed or perform CPR.

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: I am a licensed Veterinary Technician with 12 years of experience caring for pets medical needs. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and pocket pets. I am qualified to provide your pet with some medical care, monitor their health, give medications, feed, clean, scoop litter boxes, take them on walks, play and give them lots of love. I can also transport them to your veterinarian or groomer when you are not able to. Most importantly , I can give you peace of mind when you are away from them. Whether your pet has typical or special needs, I am here for you. I have 3 cats and 1 dog and have had a variety of animals throughout my life. I am currently working part time in the evenings so can be fully available daily for your pets walking, in home care, medical needs or transportation. Evenings and overnights may be available on request. I do not offer care in my home. I will come to your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I will care for them per you or your veterinarian's instruction.

“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.”
