Dog Walking in Pecan Park, Jacksonville, FL

“Caring, gentle and accommodating-we were so lucky to find Dean. He came out to the Ritz to care for our pups twice a day for 3 straight days while we were vacationing. The dogs loved him and so did we. He is a lovely human, a genuine dog lover, super conscientious and very trustworthy! We would definitely recommend Dean and would certainly engage him on our next trip. Thanks for taking such good care of Wrigley and Champ!”

“First time Rover user! Haley was polite and accommodating. She came last minute as I am recovering from surgery and my boys were getting stir crazy being confined to the house and the back yard. She was patient, observant and my boys loved her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years and absolutely love it. I have one dog of my own and a passion for training, helping dogs learn new tricks and good behavior is something I really enjoy. I’ve dog sat for several families and regularly walk dogs in my neighborhood. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, I always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and cared for. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I start my day by taking my dog out for a walk and making sure both my dog and cat are fed and happy. Throughout the day, I set aside time for walks, play sessions, and training when needed. Whether I’m pet sitting or walking dogs for others, I plan my schedule to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, so it fits seamlessly into my everyday life. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow any routines or instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I create a calm and positive environment, giving pets plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their space. In a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own keeping everything clean and making sure their pet feels secure while they’re away.

About: I've been my neighbors' go-to sitter for the last 2 years, and have care for young and old, big and small. Before that I cared for my own dogs for 15 years before! I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.

“We are so thankful to have had Cassidy come spend some time with our sweet boy. She is extra patient, and a natural around dogs. She treated our boy just like he was her own. Highly recommend!!!”

About: As a Midwest native, I grew up on a farm working with all types of animals, from kittens to large horses. There has never been a time where I haven’t been around animals, and I don’t plan on changing that now! My wife and I currently care for three fur-babies. Slate, our 8 year old Husky/Lab. Ares, our 3 year old trouble maker (Belgian Malinois). And Kat, the true mastermind of our home (Calico). All of our animals were adopted, with Ares joining our family at 8 weeks old. I love our fur family, and I hope to add some new friends! Chat soon! I normally am working one day per week, which affords me a lot of time to spend with our dogs. I can be very flexible, all I ask you communicate with me so we can look after your furballs! As much as I would like to have our dogs meet, Slate is starting to get older and less friendly. Ares on the other hand will play all day! I can bring him with me if requested. The only thing I can’t do is bring your doggo in my house or yard.

I’m always open to providing as much needed walks and belly rubs as possible so that your fur baby gets all the necessary attention. I have plenty of time to help with pet care. I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible, more or less depending on the pet owner needs. I usually make sure the environment is pet friendly and hide all small items that any pet could accidentally ingest, make sure that all of their toys are near, and medications that they need are nearby also. Sure that they have plenty of water and food for their liking or dependent on the specifications of the owner based up their pets needs. And try to make sure that they have something that smells like their owner near so they aren’t weary of their absence.
