About: Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time. My primary availability is during the week, with some weekend availability with enough advance. I work from home and am very flexible to accommodate changing schedules. I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”

About: I believe no matter what age that every dog is a good boy, or girl. Elderly or young they’re just as perfect in my eyes. I’m a college student only going 2 days a week for a few hours. Other than that I’m perfectly happy setting aside time to help out! I take care of your animals just as you instruct! If you say a cup of food, I’ll ask what size. It’s important that the owner is just as happy as the animal.
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. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. 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.
About: Hello! I’ve owned and taken care of animals my whole life including dogs, cats, horses, and other farm animals. I’m flexibly available and super communicative with you. I’m currently working from home most weekdays and would love to help out those in my apartment building and general area take care of their pets when they’re out. I’m comfortable with all pets and will give them the care and attention they need. Any instructions for care will be followed and extra pets and love will be provided.
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life since I was 8 years old. My first ever dog was a shihtzu named Dexter. I've cared for my cousin's 2 dogs (Rottweiler and Great dane. Ive also taken care of a kitten newborn for 4 month as well. I would say that I have a variety of experience from working with small and larger dogs. Im dependable and can follow any specific instructions (if any). I have a very open schedule so if you or your pet need me in a moments notice I can be there! Im currently a part time student at Jacksonville University with a lot of time on my hands and one class im working on during this summer break. So my availability is very open. I can adapt to each animal's specific needs when taking care of animals in clients' homes. If the animal is more active I'm more than happy to play with them indoors or outdoors (depending on the owner's preference). This also applies vice versa. I'm able to take the dog out for plenty of potty breaks and can accommodate to your animal's needs.
About: What sets me apart from others is a life long connection with animals and proven record of being safe, reliable, and patient. I've cared for dogs, cats, and plants for my whole life. I regularly help family, friends, and neighbors when they're away. I focus on making pets feel loved and secure while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I build my schedule around it. I’m currently taking online courses, which gives me open availability and the flexibility to meet each client’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or last-minute requests (prefer notice though), I’m able to adjust my routine so pets always get the time, attention, and care they deserve. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I keep their spaces clean, give them plenty of attention, and treat your home with respect. My goal is always safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
San Marco dog parents share their Rover experiences
I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!

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!
