“Charlayda, or “Layda” recently took care of our 4 dogs—2 11-mo olds, who sleep in the garage, are trained to bathroom on puppy pads, and a 4 and 5 year old who are totally family members who sleep on beds, love the outdoors, and live to please people! We went away for a military graduation for 6 days, and were nervous to use a “service” but our friend could not stay here, so we took a leap of faith with Rover and Charlayda. When she came for a Meet and Greet 4 days before we were leaving, we immediately could tell we were with a lover of dogs, someone knowledable who all 4 dogs quickly “took to.” All of our fears about leaving went away as she asked questions and took the time to get to know specifics about all 4. While away, we received photos, videos, and texts as requested. When we returned home, all the dogs were calm, happy, sat for treats better than before!, and we could just tell that Layda had earned an A++++ in every way. We never thought we could leave all of them. We were proved wrong!! She’s superb. We’re now thinking about a weekend away, something we considered impossible before!! We’re so grateful!!”
“Jeweliana and Riley were amazing over the holidays, checking in and socializing with our cat. I appreciated all the updates and prompt responses. Thanks again guys. See you next time”
“Hailey was so amazing with our two kitties! I highly recommend you book with her if you want your fur babies to receive excellent care while you’re away. The booking process was smooth due to Hailey’s kindness, professionalism, and flexibility. Thank you again!!”
“Ashley did amazing taking care of my boy! Highly recommend her. Perfect communication and feedback. Definitely felt safe leaving my boy with her for the weekend :)”
“Marilyn was always prompt when visiting with my pups. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and cares for their wellbeing. I would totally book with her again and I’m actually looking forward to it. Thank you for everything!”
“Daisy was an amazing help while we were out of town. Our cats were in such good hands! and one of them got sick and she responded quickly, even during holidays season. We are so grateful and will book Daisy again in the future.”
“Alexis was literally so wonderful. We had a trip planned for months, and one of our cats was diagnosed with pneumonia right before we were set to leave. Alexis was comfortable administering medication, and sent such good updates about how everyone was doing. I was actually able to relax and focus on the tasks I needed to do on the trip. Will one hundred percent be recommending her to others!”
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
About: Hello! My name is Chryslyn. I provide a variety of services for all animals. I have 14 years of experience and am Pet First Aid certified. My pet care experience comes mostly from the pets I've owned and my volunteer experience at the Jacksonville Humane Society. While with me your pet will be treated like a member of my family. As a fur baby enthusiast, I am dedicated to the happiness and well-being of your baby during their time with me. I am passionate about animals and believe that the safety and comfort of your animal comes first. I am available Monday thru Saturday with an occasional Sunday. I am punctual, passionate and dependable. Most people love how friendly and cheery I am and I think your baby will too. On May 7,2018 I became certified for Animal CPR and First Aid.
“I am so grateful for her services. She has been a blessing to me and my animals. She is honest and thorough and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is taken care of. She has a genuine love for animals.”
“Alivia was excellent. She went above and beyond expectations. Great communication and reliability. Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a great sitter.”
About: I've grown up my whole life around dogs and cats primarily. I currently have a German Shepherd who just turned one and a German Shepherd/Boarder Collie/Pit mix who's 3. I also have a cat that is diabetic and requires insulin twice a day. I've been working remote for the past 3 years. This allows me to take perfect care of your fur baby! This means unlimited access to outside for potty breaks or playing. My fiance also lives here and absolutely loves animals, one could argue more than me. She will make sure your animal is loved and cuddled if they're into that. I have a fenced in back yard with two larger dogs that will tire your fur baby out. As mentioned I work from home so I will be available all day to let your dog in and out as many times as it pleases and play with them until they're ready for a break (if they ever get tired, I know mine don't)
“Emily did such an awesome job dropping in to take care of our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. My husband and I had been hesitant to travel the last year since they both had health issues and required daily medication. Emily restored our confidence that we can travel again and know our babies are getting the best care even when we're gone. She is wonderful! We will definitely book in the future”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.
On short notice, I appreciated that Amelia was so generous with her time. I was pretty harried with an unusual morning but she was calm and attentive to my dog. I felt comfortable leaving her in my home with Rusty and I couldn’t have chosen anyone nicer. We’d love to have her again
Mark is awesome! He was so attentive to our pups and even got a little dog to open up to him (which she never does to anyone but me) he was very responsive if I had a question and was immediately available when an emergency came up! If I could give him over 5 stars I would! He will a 100% be our permanent dog sitter! Definitely go with him if you’re looking for someone who is passionate about your little babies!
