Dog Walking Sans Souci

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.

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Deborah! My husband and I have a Scottish terrier puppy. I had to travel for work one week and my husband works long hours at the hospital, so we hired Deborah to walk our puppy during the day. I was nervous because he is still young and this was is first experience with a walker. Deborah was so caring and patient with him! She followed all our instructions, came exactly when scheduled, and throughly documented each visit. It really put my mind at ease when I could see her visit reports and pictures while I was traveling. We will not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Scott was Pierogi's dog walker for almost a year and did an excellent job every time. Very trustworthy and thorough and you can tell he cares. He's a true professional and if I weren't moving to NJ I'm sure he would be my dog walker for much longer. Highly recommend.”

“Chelsea was prompt with responding, showed up on time and great with communication. I would definitely recommend her services.”

“Savannah has been wonderful! Our previous dog walker, Paige, was with us for almost two years, so I was definitely nervous about having someone new take over. Savannah has made the transition so much easier than I expected. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring with our dogs. I already feel comfortable and confident knowing they’re in good hands with her. We’re so happy to have met Savannah and really appreciate how easy she has made this change for us!”

About: I have cared for countless litters of newborn puppies, ensuring they are alive and thriving. I have been helping my family with this since I was about 7 years old. I am comfortable and confident with delivering any needed vitamins or medications on time, not squeamish at all, and super loving with these sweet creatures. I know how to act if any aggression arises with the animals as well. I am currently in school for 4-5 hours per weekday, excluding Fridays. While pet sitting, I try to be home as much as possible outside of school hours. I provide a safe area for pets so they are comfortable and free to move around, with lots of outdoor time. If the weather is nice, we may spend extended time together outside in my fenced in backyard. At a clients home, I will respect the home and care for the pets in the same way the client would in that space.

“Daisy is such a a caring soul. She loved our sweet dog like her own. I will definitely be using her again”

About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.

About: ​I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. ​My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. ​Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. ​I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.

About: Hi! Im Danielle,! I grew up around a variety of animals- horses, bunnies, parrots dogs and cats! My dream is to open up a rescue/shelter because no animal deserves to go without a loving home. My boyfriend and I have 5 cats -3 boys and two girls as well as our pit mix which we rescued who are our heart and soul and they truly saved us. We both grew up around animals and the love we have for all walks of life is what drives me to give your pets the best care possible ! What sets me apart from others is the genuine love and kindness I have for animals because each and everyone has a back story and they all deserved to be loved the same. Our pets aren’t just friends, they are family and that’s why I take pride in helping other owners like myself find someone who they trust to help them one belly rub at a time! I am available during the week before 7 and after 5:30pm and on weekends ! I love giving the chance to provide owners with comfort and stress free care because your fur babies mean just as much to me as they do to you! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space how I would expect mine to be treated and that’s with respect. By ensuring that I keep same routine that your fur baby is used to will make sure that they feel comfortable because meeting someone new can be nerve wracking. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and are loved as if they were my own — and I keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things familiar and stress-free. I follow all instructions provided and always double-check things like food portions, medication (if needed), and security (locked doors, gates, etc. Clean-up and tidiness are a priority too; I leave your space just as I found it, or better.

About: Cherie was a vet tech in Atlanta for 18 years and a part time professional dog walker for 10 years. While in college, Cherie worked at Disney before eventually landing at SeaWorld, where she first met her now wife, Candace. During her college years, Cherie developed a love for birds, amphibians, and maintaining fish aquariums. In 1998, Cherie moved to Atlanta and began her vet tech career for a well known local Veterinary Clinic. Her best friend owns a dog walking company in Atlanta, which Cherie helped to establish. Additionally, during her time in Atlanta, Cherie also volunteered at a Guinea Pig Rescue and was a foster fail many times over! Candace owns her own business and she works from home everyday. Almost always, it will be Candace who is responding to messages and is at home during the daytime hours! Candace formally worked in the pet industry. She is a pet nutrition specialist and a walking encyclopedia in regards to various animal facts! Candace has been a foster fail many times over as well. She has been involved in many rescue groups throughout the Central Florida area. We just moved to Jacksonville from Orlando to be closer to family. We actually delayed the moved for a few years because we could not leave all of the dogs & pet parents that had become a part of our family. We still have some families that make the drive to drop their babies off with us. We have a good neighborhood with sidewalks for taking strolls. We also have a large fenced in back yard. We have experience for special needs cases. We are able to administer medications and subcutaneous injections. We are well versed in dog nutrition for those pups with sensitivities. Together, we share our love with 1 Chihuaua, 1 Yorkie, 1 Cockatoo, lots of amphibians, and many, many reptiles. Since changing careers, I've missed meeting so many new dogs and would love to meet and care for your baby or babies! The more the merrier! Candace works from home, so she gets to spend all day with the pups! You never know, she might even hire them to work for her! Someone is always home with your pet, so whatever your pet needs can easily be accommodated. Any pet that comes to us is treated like our own. They can sleep in the bed with us if that's allowed and they can go on any of the furniture. However, we do like to keep your routine if that what you wish. We know how hard it is to trust someone with your babies, we are the same way! Our dogs like to lay around all day and sleep. They are very low energy, except for random outbursts. However, that doesn't stop them from being friends with other dogs of varying energy. They won't play with your dog, but they certainly will smell some butts!

About: I have fostered cats and kittens for approximately ten years, and know the commitment, awareness, and love it takes to connect with animals of all personality types.

I am extremely aware and will always focus on the safety of your pet. I grew up with two dogs as well, and have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors on top of my own dogs. I truly love animals, and want to spend my free time taking care of them. You can trust me with your cats and dogs! I'm currently working part-time, so when I am not doing that I have plenty of time to spare taking care of your pets! I am available on weekends, after work, and the weekdays I am not working.
