Pet Sitting Baymeadows

About: Ever since I was little, I have a huge heart for dogs. It wasn’t until I was 10 that I finally had a family dog, and from then on dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve done personal dog-sitting on and off for a few years for some friends and family and I’ve always really enjoyed it. I did Rover a few years ago and loved it, but life got a bit crazy so I had to pause it. I was still able to consistently dogsit for some repeat customers these last few years, and now my wife Linsey joins me in that! Your dog can expect walks at the park or in our neighborhood and for my home to be their home. If your dog likes play dates, my Rover friends would certainly be about it! My normal job is pretty flexible on where I can work, so if your dog needs extra attention, working from home is totally doable. Between me and Linsey, at least one of us is always home. I’ve done Rover on and off for the last 8 years, and have really enjoyed it! My job is super flexible, with set hours only 2 nights a week and once during the day. I’m mostly working from home or at coffee shops, so it’s super easy to stay home with a dog. Between me and my wife, someone can pretty much always be with your pet. Our home is your dog’s home. If they want to go on the couch or follow us around, by all mean. If they like their space, I’ll give them space. Many dogs have taken a snooze on our couch, legs in the air.

“Erin is great! Super reliable, goes above and beyond what I requested her to do, and she truly loves animals because she stayed longer than she really needed to just to give my pet some extra love. I 100% recommend her to other people looking for pet sitters!!!”

About: Growing up, I cared for two wonderful dogs who taught me responsibility, patience, and companionship every day. One was a playful miniature poodle, and the other was a loyal cocker spaniel, each with their own unique personality and energy. Spending time feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them helped me develop a deep appreciation for the joy dogs bring into a home. Today, I own a golden doodle that continues to strengthen my love for working with and caring for dogs. I am also currently volunteering at the Jacksonville Humane Society, where I help care for and walk dogs. This experience has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of different personalities and needs while providing them with exercise, companionship, and positive interaction. I am currently working part-time, so there is flexibility throughout the week to care for your pet! I am also available on weekend days. When interacting with a pet at someone else’s home, I make sure any doors and gates are securely closed, keep them on a leash when on a walk, stay aware of their surroundings, and follow any specific instructions provided by the owner. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own.

“Scott was kind and worked so well with our dogs. He handled our paralyzed dog with love and compassion and was sure to take our other dog on walks to ensure she wasn’t stressed. Honestly Scott gave us peace during our trip that we had been looking for! Thankful for him and looking forward to working with him again the future!!”

“Shera was a wonderful pet sitter from my initial request! She responded quickly and answered all my questions. She even did a meet and greet for our sweet Poppy! First time I haven’t had to worry about my dog’s anxiety in a long time! She was super sweet and attentive to our needs! I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! We will use her again!”

“We had an amazing experience with Alivia! She took such great care of our dog while our family was out of town. During every drop-in visit, she sent multiple updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond by playing fetch with him, leaving him treats, a new toy, and even a sweet note. While we were away, he injured his paw in the yard (he was always supervised), and she was incredibly helpful by putting his cone back on when he kept trying to lick it. On our last day away, she even took our trash out without us asking, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being and treated him like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hi, My name is Sydney S. I'm 25 years old and recently graduated with my Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from Francis Marion University in Florence, SC. Originally from Albany, OH, I spent 22 years there and graduated from Alexander High School. I have recently relocated to Jacksonville for a Speech Pathology position at Greater Strides Rehabilitation. Animals have always been a big part of my life; I have about 20 years of experience caring for them. My family has two cats named Tuesday and Regean, and two dogs named Sam and Kong. I have a 4-year-old dog named Niles, who lives with me at my apartment. My pet-sitting experience includes dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, snakes, and hamsters. I'm excited about this new chapter in my career and life in Jacksonville. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to connect soon. As a Speech Pathologist with a regular Monday to Friday work schedule, I can dedicate my early mornings, evenings, and weekends to pet care. I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks like feeding, administering medication, and providing exercise and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the attention they need while their owners are away. I'm also happy to send updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pets' day. I enjoy spending time with animals and find pet care to be a rewarding way to supplement my income. Whether in my home or the client's home, I prioritize providing a safe, comfortable environment for pets. In my apartment, Niles my 4-year-old dog keeps me company. I can accommodate dogs and cats, and potentially small caged pets. I have pet beds, toys, and supplies available. In the client's home, I respect their space and routines. I'll follow their instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I'm comfortable with mail collection, plant watering, and light housekeeping to keep the home secure and tidy. I'll send updates about the pet's day and be available for any concerns. My goal is to give pets the care they need and owners peace of mind while they're away. I'm flexible and want to work with each client to create a custom plan that works best for them and their pets.

“Carter was fantastic with my dog Keeva and is very reliable. I cannot recommend him highly enough! I will certainly be reaching out to Carter for any pet-related services I may need. Thanks again!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in middle school and have had my own pets that ranged in different breads and ages. I absolutely love pets especially dogs! I've taken care all types of dogs and and love to play, bathe, do activities and cuddle with them! I will make sure to give them lots of love and make your best friend feel at home! I'm currently working from home so I will be able to spend lots of time catering to your dog and give him all the attention he needs. I am very vigilant with any pet and make sure to attend to it's needs and to keep him or her feel safe and at home.

“Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!”

About: I owned a huge Malamute/Lab rescue who ended up rescuing me. I miss being around animals. I will take my time in walking and spending time with your furry family member. I just moved here from Brooklyn NY. I walked miles upon miles in the snow and rain with my Dog. I enjoy being outdoors. I have been a dental Assistant for the past 30 years, I’m more than capable in keeping calm in a tense situation. Our Dental practice was pet friendly. I was the person in charge of handling all of the pets. I had a Great Dane panic at the sound of the drill, I soothed him throughout the appointment. I’m also a trained Dog Walker. I volunteer at the Jacksonville Humane Society a few days a week. I’m looking forward to helping out families that need an extra hand.
