About: I live 5 minutes from Jacksonville Airport. Hi, I’m Natalie. I love animals and have had dogs all my life. I spend all my time at home so I’ll always be around to give your dogs the attention and play they need.

My schedule is open 24/7 so all my time will be dedicated to your pets. I’m always free to play around or go on walks and making sure they get the care they need.

I have a nice community where I can comfortably walk dogs and while my yard isn’t fenced it’s always free to play in.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple different breeds since I was about 12 years old. Walking, bathing, playing, feeding schedules, basic training, etc. I use to walk neighborhood dogs as a kid/teen plus owning quite a few over the years myself. Since then I worked in a doggy daycare for about 3 years before becoming a stay at home mom. I’m currently looking to return to work since both kids are in school now, so rover is something I want to pick back up on until I find something and continue on the side once I start back working. My availability is pretty open.. I am gone from 7:40am-8:10am & 2:20-3:20pm Monday-Friday to drop off/pick up my children from school. I would absolutely love to help with your fur-baby(ies) from companionship, to feeding schedules, to walking/exercising, bathing, medication and even basic training or continuing the training schedules you already have in place at home! 🙂 I’m currently in between being a stay at home mom and returning to the work force part time, so my availability is pretty open.. Flexible I can accommodate any rules, schedules or training set in place by the owners.. at their home or in mine. I always keep animals separate at feeding times and follow guidelines from owners as far as sleeping arrangements or instructions for how said animal should be put up during times I’m away.
About: I have experience watching both cats and dogs for over 10 years, some being my own and mostly others! I have a disabled dog currently who I care for, giving me experience with medications and specialized care. I also have had two cats with health issues so I am well versed in specialized care for them as well. I look forward to meeting your babies! I am a student currently with a fairly flexible schedule. I will have a completely open schedule starting the week after Thanksgiving to Christmas as well! I am very careful with any animal I care for. I ensure we have a meet and greet prior to make sure I am completely comfortable in safely caring for your baby❤️

“**Dog Walker Review** I can’t say enough good things about my dog walker, liv ! She has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my furry friend. From our very first meeting, her love for dogs was evident, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. Every time she comes to walk liv , she is incredibly attentive, making sure to tailor each walk to my dog's needs and energy level. She takes the time to engage and play, which always leaves liv happy and tired out afterward! What I appreciate most is her communication. She sends updates and photos during their walks, so I always know how much fun they’re having. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being and happiness of every dog in her care. I can wholeheartedly recommend liv to anyone looking for a reliable and amazing dog walker. Her dedication, enthusiasm, and love for animals shine through in everything she does. Thank you, liv for being so wonderful!”
