Dog Walking Normandy Manor

About: I'm an animal lover and bond easily with all pets. I have worked as a dog bather / groomer at a national chain for all breeds and sizes. My experience also include helping a breeder with puppies and mother care. Recently, I pet sat a sick dog whose family had already booked their vacation. I nursed their dog back to health with boiled chicken, nutritional supplements, and gentle comforting. It would be my honor to provide the care your beloved pet(s) need while you're unable to be there. My services includes playing, walking, petting, feeding, grooming and talking to large or small dogs - all cats, any birds! Of course, cleaning, administering medications, and consoling them, will be done with care. Available for extra tasks, such as taking your pet to the veterinarian or groomer. Congratulations on taking the necessary steps to ensure your pet is flourishing. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am a new retiree and work part-time for the days and hours I select. I am flexible, and can set my schedule around your pets needs I can come to your home with your specific instructions for maintaining the pets routine and crating requirements. I have reliable transportation for any travel requests.

About: Hi! I’m Katherine, a veterinary technician with 4 years of professional experience caring for dogs and cats. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, recognizing signs of illness, and handling anxious animals. I’ll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel confident they’re in safe, loving hands while you’re away. I work as a full-time veterinary technician Tuesday through Saturday, and my schedule is posted weekly. I’m typically available after 3:00 PM on Saturdays and all day Sundays and Mondays. I also have some weekday half-days, allowing for additional availability. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs and keep my Rover calendar updated so you always know when I’m available. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, ensure doors and gates are secure, provide fresh food and water, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. You’ll receive photo updates after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

About: Im comfortable with any type of animal. My mom has been rescuing animals since I was born. I have worked with big dogs, small dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs- you name it! And I know how to take care of them accordingly. Cats are also my speciality, as I currently have around 20 cats. I do have 2 dogs as well, though. I love animals more than anything, and I promise your pets will be happy and safe in my care. My availability is slightly limited due to college and my two jobs, however I am always willing to move things to make things work. Your pets needs are my top priority whenever I am with them. That means that I am alert and focused when taking care of them. I am kind and gentle, but I am also happy to play and be enthusiastic depending on the pets personality. Every pet is different, with their unique preferences, boundaries, and attitude. I take that into account and get to know your pet so that I can make their care special and personalized.

About: I have had experience working at a boarding facility working with dogs and understand the "dog pack" mentality. I am patient and know it takes work to train our pets. I love all animals and can assure yours will be well taken care of while your away. I am very trustworthy and reliable. I have reliable transportation and am currently a stay at home mom, so I am not held back from fulfilling a need be it in my home or yours. I make adjustments to the total price of a booking depending on the overall request and what is needed not simply by the price that's listed. I am currently in between jobs and this is something I’ve always done but do more of when I am not working full time. :) I plan to love them as my own and make sure the owners are pleased with the care I have provided for their fur babies.

“This was my first time using rover and I was a little nervous. When I tell you Tori went above and beyond and communicated with me so well I kept telling her thank you 😊 I will be booking Tori whenever we need a dog sitter moving forward. My pup kids tried to give her a hard time but she was patient with them and got the job done. Superb ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life.. I have been the sole owner/operator for the past 10 years of a local pet sitting & walking business. I have taken care of all types and sizes of dogs, from small chihuahua size to small or large laberdoodles to great danes. I have experience in working with dogs who are stubborn eaters, and regular age dogs to senior dogs who require medication and extra care. My rates are very competitive. From a $35 daily walk/check in while at work or have a longer event to attend to a standard overnight which includes a 10 hour overnight stay, like 8pm-6am with 1 mid day potty/meal break which is $85 If you need a longer overnight stay like 20 hours round the clock/constant concierge care at your house then the rate will be $100 per night. I have a fabulous list of references from clients that have been with me for anywhere from 4 to the full 10 years in operation. I'm currently only doing 1 weekly dog walking job, unfortunately due to the heartbreaking recent loss of one of my longest daily walking and sitting clients. My current daily walking job is only 3 days a week, any 3 days between M-F and is only for 30/35 mins and can be done anytime between 11am to 3pm. The rest of the time I am currently available and due to the flexibility of the current job, I have a very open availability. I only take dogs on leashed walks and during temperatures that are safe for the dog's health. I'm very respectful of what the parents want and specific details for the happiness of their dog. I'm very attentive when I'm with the dog to make sure they are safe at all times. I do in client's home sitting for almost all my clients, and they live it. They will verify trustworthiness, loyalty and respect of their home. I also trying to make it affordable compared to the average median for Jacksonville, FL.

About: I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, and their welfare and enrichment is extremely important to me. I have multiple years of experience with newborn kittens and puppies, as well as senior animals. I know how to administer medication, and well as emergency procedures such as CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick visits. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. I’m very mindful of their behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in mood, appetite, or health. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. After visits, I double-check doors, gates, and anything related to your pet’s safety. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for, and for you to feel completely comfortable trusting me in your home.

“Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve always been around animals since I was little, living on a small farm and growing up taking in four cats of my own! I currently work at home as an artist, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate during the summer until school starts back up for my son. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of animals, knowing how to handle them, play, feed and clean! Very respectful of your pet’s personality.

About: Dogs have been a part of my family since my very first memory. I grew up with small dachshunds, large muts, and athletic weimaraners. They've always had a piece of my heart. So when I moved away from home in 2003, I started dog sitting for friends and family. I take pride in my dog sitting and know how important it is to keep your favorite family member happy and healthy while you are out of the house. I've entertained a gaggle of pugs, walked families of labs, and shared my house with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Loving them all! I'm currently working full time from home but have a flexible schedule throughout the day for walks, attention, and hourly pet breaks 😁. I love to walk, hike, workout, and live an active healthy lifestyle. I adapt to the needs of the dog and the needs of the owner. In the past, I have accommodated to make their life's easier and create a sense of comfort while the owners are away from their loved ones.

About: **Im available for the holidays 🥂🎆*** I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 10 years. I’m a CNA and I currently take care of several elderly patients dogs! I am also a lover of Pits and Bullys so please feel free to book if you have one!! I own a pitbull that I’ve had for 9 years and he is the happiest dog ever. I currently have a very flexible schedule that can be changed whenever I need it to, to help with your fur babies. I will be working around my schedule with you! My dogs get to roam the house. My home is their home.! I have cameras throughout the home. They are allowed on the couch and beds. I am comfortable with crate trained dogs as well and can adapt to any situation or your dogs needs.

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: Hi there! I’m Aunjanae. I’ve grown up looking after pets of close friends and family and have always treated them like my own. If chosen to look after your precious loved ones, I promise to provide them with the most tender care and respect. I look forward to seeing you! As a recent high school graduate, I’m very fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows for open availability. Weekdays, weekends, whenever you need me to accompany your dogs & cats, I’m here! My services include drop-in visits and walks. As a guest in your home, it is my responsibility to ensure your home is clean and secure at the end of every visit.

About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.

About: Whether your companions need feeding rituals, city strolls, running, playtime, cuddles and puddles, meds, or time to run the fields (eh um... backyard), I follow your routine and details. I also take care of the home: watering plants, tending the garden, tidying up, and handling any house and yard specifics that just can't wait. You get peace of mind while you're away. Having lived in cities and on farms, I'm comfortable with most pets: dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and small furries. I've also bottle-fed and cared for baby animals and other high-needs pets. Every mama needs a break once in a while. Depending on your routine needs, I'll generally fit my schedule around yours and/or talk about the plan with you. For nearby visits 10-15 min away, multiple times a day is possible since my schedule can be worked out. For more involved or more rural visits that require more time or need constant or overnight care, please let me know your needs and we'll discuss and agree on the schedule that works. For a house sitting assignment, I generally need to make sure I have somewhere to work on my computer for my remote job and clarify other living arrangements if that is part of the house sitting requirements. I can plan to be there during the day/night as needed, and expect to come and go as if I were living there (get groceries, run an errand) making sure to not be gone for more than the agreed upon amount of hours away based on any pet care needs. I prefer to care for your animals in your home and require a meet-n-greet before your first visit to make sure we're compatible and that I can perform all the details safely in your absence. At the time when I'm expected to care for your pets and/home, I'm expecting to be the only human in the home and that you can rely on me while you're away. At all times, I need a well-lit safe way to enter and exit. It's important to discuss the security of your property with me so that any doors, alarm systems, keys, lights, cameras, utilities, gates, etc. are known and there is a responsible plan for them. I have a series of questions when we meet to get to know your fur babies to know how you expect them to behave and their typical reactions when walking, socializing or other specifics in the home like a favorite object, toy or calming place. For dogs, I like to know their favorite things on walks and their not so favorite areas. If possible, I would love to walk the path with you that you normally take for first time clients.

About: I have grown up taking care of all kinds of animals-dogs, cats, chickens, & rabbits to name a few- and love being around them! I have experience with puppies and older/disabled dogs alike. I regularly have multiple 1-2 hour breaks in my work day that I would love to fill with dog walks or drop-ins. I am very active and love getting outside! I am happy to feed, crate, play with, walk, and let out any animals that you may have. I travel with some enrichment toys as well!

About: I’ve been able to take care of some of my family member’s pets over the years. From bigs to small dogs, my love and care does not vary. I’m currently working towards a certification in Veterinary Technology at St. Petersburg college online. I schedule most likely always free because I don’t have to commute to school. I always follow any directions left my the owners, no matter what. I never do anything more or less because I don’t ever want to overstep any boundaries.

About: I am a Retired Air Force service member, a mother of two big boys who have left the nest and a fur mommy to my amazing Yorkie, Levi. I have always grown up in a house filled with dogs. I have house sat, doggy walked and groomed on occasions for over 20 plus yrs. I do not see my life without dogs in it. I live in a very spacious house with lots of yard to experience. I also go on lots of walks and believe your fur baby would enjoy the views. I am very attentive to my fur baby and would be very attentive to your extended family member. I ask that you bring a walking leash, puppy pads, if applicable and your babies food- If a special blanket or bed is their favorite, please bring it as well. I have all the rest of what is needed. Now that I am officially back in the states from Germany- I’d like to get back to enjoying your pups! Every fur baby will be loved non stop. As of right now- I only perform doggy daycare from 730am-430pm on every other Monday and I offer boarding 24/7 based around my provided calendar- and just by chance my calendar does not reflect your chosen dates- please reach out anyways- I’m sure we can meet your family’s needs. Also, if you’re interested in getting your pup socialized or potty trained a bit quicker- Doggy daycare is mostly where the fun is at. Water is constantly available. I love for the dogs to walk around and choose their own special place. It helps them become comfortable much faster. I have no doubts that you and your fur baby will be very happy with the visit here to my home.

“Macy is punctual and wonderful with my dog. I appreciate the effort she puts into each walk and really makes the most out of the time. Highly recommended her.”
