Dog Walking Pickwick Park

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From guinea pigs to chihuahuas to pitties. I’ve yet to meet an animal I didn’t like and I don’t plan to ever. I spend time volunteering at the local Humane Society to learn how to better care for animals like yours. I’m a full time student looking to make most of my income here on Rover. I also spend a few hours a week at the Humane Society. I've had animals as long as I've been self-aware. My family dogs include a senior chihuahua and a 7 year old pittie. At home, my family includes two kitties, Moomin (5) and Toro (1), who are both from the Jacksonville Humane Society! They are my pride and joy and I consider them my sons. I work well with all pets. Doesn’t matter if they’re skittish or energetic. Please do not hesitate to let me know the specifics of your pet’s care needs. It is my duty to cater to their personality! Additionally, I will be sure to send lots of pictures to update you while you’re away.

“James is awesome. He did a meet and greet with both of my dogs prior to the walk and was understanding when I was late due to traffic. He has a calm demeanor and understands the importance of giving an anxious dog their space. My dogs did great on a walk with him, and he made sure that they were safe. My anxious dog actually approached and sniffed him after the walk, and even took some treats from him which is a big deal for her. I highly recommend James to anyone!”

About: I’ve cared for a few different types of animals, including cats (especially elderly), small dogs, hamsters, bunnies and reptiles. I’m very comfortable with taking care of these types of animals! I am currently a full time student with internship, I am not working so I have a lot of free time to care for pets, especially at night. I will care for pets however the client prefers their pet to be cared for. Every pet is different and has different needs, I will do my best to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: I have been around dogs all my life. Currently mom of Benji he is 4 years old lhasa apso/shitzu. He is the light of my life and he loves being around smaller dogs like himself. Im a dog mom so I know how important is to have someone we can trust, count on when we need to leave them for a few days. I will treat them like my own. I work full time but most of my weekends are off. Just reach out and we will figure something out. I am a dog mom so I know and understand the importance of having someone taking care of our fur babies when we are gone. We have a fully fenced yard and closed lanai. Our home is pet friendly and secure. Benji has plenty of toys to share and extra bed.

“Kimberly is great with my animals! She follows all care instructions. She is very responsive. She has sat for me when I needed a last minute care for my dog. My normally very shy cat likes her. She normally runs and hides whenever anybody comes in. Not with Kimberly. I highly recommend her! I would gladly use her again!”

Laura L.

“Kristin was so wonderful to work with! I’ve never used rover for walks before and was so happy with the experience with Kristin, and know our dog was happy to get out and about every morning with her. She was so timely and our dog definitely loved her. We will definitely use her again!”

“Aaliyah was wonderful and communicative throughout. Evie loved her and was a much happier dog when I came home from work. My cat loved her too. Going to be having Aaliyah over much more often to help with the pooch.”

About: Growing up I've always had a passionate and genuine care for all manner of animals. Through my experience I have been able to adapt to each respective animals own routine and needs. With caring for you pet, I make it my commitment to give them my undivided attention while ensuring they have a great experience with me! I'm a full time student but I'm currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to stop by / stay where the dog resides while giving them the best care needed. While visiting / staying in my clients home, I ensure all areas around me are clean and kept up with in a way that not only will please my client but also make a comfortable and safe surrounding for their furry friends.

“Laura is very helpful, dependable and thoughtful. Laura has been helping me out while I have been stuck traveling from flight delays....with a couple of extra visits for my pup. I cannot be more grateful to Laura for her extra help at the last minute.”

About: Hi! I’m Carissa, a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all kinds — from energetic Chihuahuas and Yorkies to my two sweet Frenchies, including Luna, who’s been through two surgeries and needed lots of love and care. I’m comfortable with training routines, giving medications, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup needs a calm cuddle or a playful walk, I’m here to treat them like family! I’m working part time, my schedule is very flexible so I can meet and take care of your babies. Pet care is already a part of my daily life. I currently have four dogs of my own, so I’m used to early walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving meds when needed. Taking care of pets fits right into my routine and honestly brings me so much joy—I love making sure they’re happy and comfortable. My frenchie is very high maintenance so I will take care your baby like I take care of mine. I respect peoples home and will keep your animals safe at all times.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner, I know the importance of patience, trust-building, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. My rescue dog, Orville, has taught me the value of meeting dogs where they are, whether they need extra reassurance, structure, playtime, or simply a calm companion. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while their family is away. I have always enjoyed helping friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets. While I have not provided pet care professionally before or through a platform like Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. My experience may not be formally documented, but it comes from years of genuine care, responsibility, and love for all animals. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. Your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Thursday through Saturday, I have flexible availability and can provide care throughout the day. I currently work four days a week until 3 PM, so Sunday through Wednesday I'm available after 3 PM. I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule and routine! I love spending time in my own backyard, but I also enjoy exploring new places! My pup loves adventures, so we often visit on-leash parks for walks, fresh air, and new experiences. I enjoy giving dogs opportunities to safely explore, get exercise, and enjoy the world around them while always keeping their comfort and safety a priority. Play is a constant in our household! I believe playtime is about more than just fetch. I enjoy incorporating scent games, enrichment activities, and mentally stimulating games into a dog’s routine to help keep them happy and engaged (esp. if it's extremely hot or rainy)!

“Our dogs enjoyed their walk with Lauren around the neighborhood and she communicated with us throughout the visit.”

“This was our first time using Rover and Allison made sure we had a wonderful experience. She is an excellent communicator which put my mind at ease. She shared so many adorable photos and our pets loved her. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much, Allison!!”
