House Sitting in Osceola Forest, Jacksonville, FL

“I almost don’t want to leave my review so I can keep Christian a secret! Christian watched our two dogs for 4 nights. One of our dogs knows no stranger, the other one however, has major separation anxiety and usually hides from sitters during the whole stay. Christian somehow worked some magic and made friends with my timid pup. He’d welcome belly rubs, gave her kisses, laid on her lap, all this is basically short of a miracle. She was very responsive and provided lots of pictures, all of which put me at ease and made our trip so much more enjoyable. We’ve already booked our next 3 trips with her. Thank you again Christian!”

“Matt went far above and beyond expectations. He house sat my 6-month-old puppy and 2 cats for 6 days, and they really tested him. The puppy chewed up a mattress pad and peed in my bed, and he washed and cleaned up EVERYTHING. Both the puppy and the cats loved him. He was gentle with both of them and gave lots of pets to everyone (cute pics of happy animals). I will definitely book him again; highly recommend to anyone!”

“Felicia was amazing! She sent me so many pictures of my cat while I was away, and I can tell from them that he loved her! She’s incredibly kind, and I completely trust her.”

“Nancy was amazing with our Pit-bull/Boxer mix, Atlee. She gets really bad separation anxiety, but she seemed extremely happy while we were away for 2 weeks. With our 7-hour time change in another country Nancy always found the time to send pictures and let us know how she was doing. I thought it was going to be the most stressful vacation, but having Nancy pet sit in our home was the best decision for us. I would also like to note that our home was left clean and tidy, as we left it. We will continue to use her!”

“We’ve had Darby housesit a few times for us now. She always takes excellent care of all 3 pets and we always return home to happy pets & a clean home.”

“Laura watched our dogs and cat for a week over Thanksgiving and did a fantastic job! She provided us updates and photos throughout the week, and we're already working on booking her next stay =)”

“Rose was great with our pups! She sent pictures regularly & stayed in great communication when needed.”

“Hillary is wonderful! She was super communicative, reliable, and very thoughtful. I received pictures and detailed updates, which helped me enjoy my vacation away from home. My kitty adored her too. It is so valuable to have a sitter who is trustworthy! I'm thankful to have found her.”

“Mihkayla did a great job taking care of our 8-year-old cockapoo during our recent trip. She was very responsive and kept us up-to-date while we were traveling. The house was shipshape when we returned. We highly recommend her.”

“Ashley stayed with our pack of floofs for two weeks while my husband and I were out of the country. She treated our pets like her own and took wonderful care of our home. We received regular updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing all was taken care of. Highly recommend contacted Ashley, whether for check-ins on your animals, or full on house and pet sitting needs.”

About: Hey there! I'm Hannah, your Jacksonville neighbor with a heart as big as our sunny state. Animals have always been my passion, and I've made it my mission to give every critter the love and respect they deserve. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities, whether they're a shy senior, an introverted adult or an energetic pup. I believe in creating a safe space where they can be themselves, tail wags and all. Respect is key in my book. From understanding their body language to honoring their unique needs, I strive to make every pet feel right at home. So, when they're under my roof, they're not just guests – they're part of the family. Let's make some memories together, ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaly friend feels loved, understood, and oh-so-comfy. Mornings start with potty breaks and mental stimulation activities. Each pet gets personalized meals, cuddles, and training sessions throughout the day. With open availability, I dedicate my time at home to chores, training, and caring for our furry friends. 1. Pet Sitting: Providing companionship, feeding, and basic care for pets while their owners are away. 2. Dog Walking: Regular walks to ensure dogs get exercise and mental stimulation. 3. Behavioral Training: Addressing and correcting behavioral issues using force-free methods. 4. Overnight Pet Care: Staying overnight to provide round-the-clock care and companionship for pets. 5. Feeding and Medication Administration: Ensuring pets receive their meals and any necessary medications on schedule. 6. Potty Breaks: Letting dogs out for bathroom breaks during the day. 7. Basic Grooming: Brushing, bathing, and light grooming to keep pets clean and comfortable. 8. Special Needs Care: Catering to pets with medical conditions, senior pets, or those with special dietary needs. 9. Enrichment Activities: Engaging pets with games, puzzles, and interactive toys to keep them mentally stimulated.
