House Sitting Black Hammock Island

“Chrissy did a great job watching Olive! Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we could tell Olive was loved and had the best time with Chrissy’s family. We got lots of adorable pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away — no worries at all. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Chrissy again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, growing up on a small farm and never having a day without a furry friend! I absolutely love all animals, whether domestic or wild, and I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible. I have cared for a wide variety, including those with health issues. My hands-on experience with both healthy and senior pets means I can handle any situation with compassion and expertise. I’m dedicated to giving your pets the best care possible! I’ve also got hands-on experience dog sitting for clients, staying in their homes for extended periods to ensure their pets are happy and well-cared for. While I don’t have formal training, my lifelong experience has equipped me with the knowledge to handle all sorts of situations, including emergencies. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated to making sure your pets have a great time while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible, and I am available Monday through Sunday to provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to give them plenty of one-on-one time, keep them on their normal routines, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable when they can stay in their familiar surroundings and keep their normal routines. I will provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, potty breaks, and whatever individual care your pet needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I will also treat your home with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time; however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby at the meet and greet. Have a fenced-in yard at home with a security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is calm and well-trained.

“Hunter takes such good care of Teddy. Our boy loves her and I don’t have to worry about leaving him. It gives us such peace of mind. We will continue to use her.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!

“Scarlet went above and beyond throughout our trip. She took incredible care of my dog—kept him on his routine, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. She sent regular updates and photos which really put me at ease. On top of that, she looked after my home and my vehicles in a bit of crisis. She kept me updated, handled everything with care, and was thoughtful and reliable from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend anyone trust their homes and pets with Scarlett!!! Thank you again!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! For four days, Willow went absolutely above and beyond—not only taking incredible care of our dogs, but also treating our home with the utmost respect. We got regular updates, photos, and could truly relax knowing everything was in such good hands. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved the entire time. It’s rare to find someone this reliable, thoughtful, and attentive—we’ll definitely be using Willow again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

About: Hello! Im a local native to Jacksonville, and i genuinely love dogs and cats. Having two of my own, I really know how to take care of them and go above and beyond to ensure my furbabies are happy, therefore, I’d do the same for you! I have an Australian shepherd and husky, and take pride in engaging in their crazy ambitions, having trained them since they were babies. I’m working on my own business and need some extra cash flow. Therefore, I’m very available during the day, I usually walk my dogs in the morning and workout. So anytime after 12pm works really well for dog walking. As for dog sitting/home sitting, my job is remote so I can do work from home! Typically, my home is fenced, therefore, I usually just let my dogs roam free in the back while I watch. We play fetch and doing training back there. But for clients with no fence, I have no problem walking dogs to go potty. As far as inside, I pay close attention to things. If the room is too quiet or gets to rough, I’m always on top of things. And if my dogs are acting weird, I ensure I’m on top of that before the problem gets worse.

“Kadence was awesome with my little crew. She was super attentive to their needs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. I was able to enjoy my time away and not worry about them at all.”

“Cathryn was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. She took very good care of them -- meals, treats and dog walking. There was plenty of snuggle time, too. She left an immaculate house. We will definitely ask Cathryn to sit for us again. Fortunate to have her! Thanks Cathryn!”

About: Since a teenager, I've taken care of dogs of every kind. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets when they were away. I grew up around cats and dogs and love them dearly, have two dogs and one cat! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I'm available on weekends, and most weekdays! I have two dogs and a cat at home and know how to take care and treat pets. They will be exhausted and happy at the end of the day!

“Megan was great! Beaux and Nola loved having her around while we were gone. Megan also took great care of the house. If we ever need a house/dog sitter, we will call Megan.”

About: I have watched many dogs before and families have always loved me. I am very energetic and can get outside and do play time. I’m also very gentle and know how to handle calm dogs that like to cuddle. I have also worked at hot paws playing with dogs outside, cleaning kennels, changing food and water etc. I am an at home mother to a 1 1/2 year old who loves puppies. I am free Monday-Sunday. I do prefer to be home during the night but it can change sometimes so just ask if that’s what you need. I do not have a fenced in property so dogs will have to be walked on a leash outside if staying at my home. I will take dogs to potty every 1-2 hours. I can put dog in crate if preferred or they can run free in the home and play. They can also jump on my bed/couch if they want to relax, unless otherwise asked not to teach them that is okay. Anything you ask of your dog will be done.

“Parker absolutely loved her! Sent photos of my pup to me throughout her visits and went above and beyond! Thank you for helping me out so last minute I APPRECIATE YOU!”

About: I provide dependable, personalized care by treating every dog like family. I prioritize safety, consistent communication, patience, and keeping each pet comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently don’t have a job as I am preparing to go into college. So most the times I am home, when I am away from home it isn’t long. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of affection. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and treat them like they’re part of my own family.

“This is the second time we’ve had Sher doggy sit for us while we were out of town. She took real good care of our two boys! She sent us some pictures and kept in touch during the time we were gone, so it was very reassuring. We highly recommend Sher!!!”
