House Sitting Commonwealth

About: Hi! I’m Diane, and I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years. I’ve had pets of my own for most of my life and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of play and patience to older pets who would rather have a slower walk and some company on the couch. I genuinely love animals and tend to treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, very attentive to their routines and behavior, and I’m more than happy to provide plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available for pet care throughout the day and evening. Whether you need an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon playtime, evening feeding, or overnight care, I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crates, medications, doors/gates, and any house rules you have. I’m also very mindful of body language and never force interaction with a nervous or unsure pet. Their safety and comfort always come first, along with respecting your home while I’m there.

“We left on a 7 day cruise leaving our beloved babies home, including a 2 month old lab mix, our 10 year old boxer and 13 year old kitty. Not only did meetups before help to get to know them. Our boxer took to Steve immediately!! Robyn and Steve sent us several messages, watched our home to reassure us, and left our house cleaner than when we came and with happy fur babies. We definitely want to have them watch our babies again in the future”

“Amy was a godsend! She was punctual, communicative, and prepared. Best of all, she is a gentle and respectful spirit who our rambunctious dog took an immediate liking to. I look forward to using her services again and would recommend her without reservation.”

“CJ took very good care of our dog Brody. She sent us pictures everyday and make us feel comfortable. She also left our home cleaner than we left it!”

“Georgia house sat for us for a few days. She took excellent care of our dog while we were gone. She checked in with us daily and was very responsive when we would text to check in. Georgia is also very knowledgeable about dogs and has provided us guidance to mend our dog's separation anxiety. I really recommend Georgia as she's very and caring and clearly knows what she's doing.”

“Fantastic temperament! My female poodle was not used to a housesitter and decided to spend the first day and a half barking and Johana handled it well. Would HIGHLY recommend her!”

“Kristy was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! We have a young dog who is full of energy and a senior dog who needs a little extra care and attention. We haven’t been comfortable leaving our senior dog alone in years, so trusting someone new with him was a really big deal for us. Kristy was amazing. She was so patient and compassionate with our elderly dog and really took the time to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. She also kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It meant so much to us to know that both of our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and felt completely comfortable knowing they had been loved on while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Kristy and will definitely be using her again!”

“Super awesome service provided for such an extended watch and worked with our scheduling changes. House was immaculate upon return and our dogs absolutely loved them! Not a single complaint at all and we felt at peace being out of town knowing they were being taken care of properly. Thank you again, and will continue to use your service as long as possible.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

“Samira was EXCELLENT!! My home was IMMACULATE when I returned and my dogs were fed and HAPPY!! Can’t wait to use her again!”

Whitney M.

“Sarah did an amazing job with out two dogs! One of our dogs is older and is on several medications. Sarah did a great job taking extra care to make sure she got what she needed! She sent us pictures and videos daily. She left the house looking perfect! We will definitely be using her again!”

“Outstanding! Very communicative and flexible. We also appreciate how attentive she was with the extra care one of our dogs needs due to his anxiety issues. Will definitely book again with Valentina next time!”

Joe P.

“Chyna has been outstanding! I have left my baby with her many times. She is very sweet and professional. She sends you many pictures during the day and keep us posted. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I already have rescheduled for my future vacation. She is the best!”

Simone N.

“Lily took great care of Yogi!!! My husband and I felt comfortable being out of town knowing Yogi was in good hands. She was also communicative and gave us daily updates and photos, which I love!!”

“Lauren did a great job watching my two dogs while I was away for the long weekend. During the meet and greet she asked thoughtful questions to ensure she had all of the details needed to provide a great experience for the pups. She was prompt, took them on walks, and took care to leave the house just as she found it. I came home to 2 very happy dogs. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and genuine care.”

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover with a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I’m especially experienced with long-term, in-home stays, and I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or perfectly content being a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶 I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with extra care needs, including administering oral medications and routine injections, preparing and following special diets, and keeping up with individual care routines. I understand that older dogs may need a little more patience, a slower pace, extra comfort, or simply someone who pays close attention to the details. I’m happy to follow your veterinarian-approved care instructions and your established routine. I also have personal experience with rambunctious Lab puppies, so I’m comfortable with the extra energy, enthusiasm, and occasional chaos that comes with young dogs! I’ve worked on basic manners, boundaries, consistency, and reinforcing good behavior. If you’d like, I can incorporate basic training and positive reinforcement into walks and daily activities while I’m caring for your dog. When I’m not hanging out with four-legged friends, you’ll usually find me enjoying nature, getting outside, or catching some live music. I love being active and exploring, but I’m equally happy having a quiet evening at home with a furry sidekick. My schedule is fully open, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time and attention rather than squeezing them into a packed schedule. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved — and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you have a high-energy puppy, a senior sweetheart, or a dog who needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they’re used to. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 When you need me, I'm there! My schedule is fully open. I work around your schedule in order to make sure you and your pet are getting the best service possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, medications, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life.. I have been the sole owner/operator for the past 10 years of a local pet sitting & walking business. I have taken care of all types and sizes of dogs, from small chihuahua size to small or large laberdoodles to great danes. I have experience in working with dogs who are stubborn eaters, and regular age dogs to senior dogs who require medication and extra care. My rates are very competitive. From a $35 daily walk/check in while at work or have a longer event to attend to a standard overnight which includes a 10 hour overnight stay, like 8pm-6am with 1 mid day potty/meal break which is $85 If you need a longer overnight stay like 20 hours round the clock/constant concierge care at your house then the rate will be $100 per night. I have a fabulous list of references from clients that have been with me for anywhere from 4 to the full 10 years in operation. I'm currently only doing 1 weekly dog walking job, unfortunately due to the heartbreaking recent loss of one of my longest daily walking and sitting clients. My current daily walking job is only 3 days a week, any 3 days between M-F and is only for 30/35 mins and can be done anytime between 11am to 3pm. The rest of the time I am currently available and due to the flexibility of the current job, I have a very open availability. I only take dogs on leashed walks and during temperatures that are safe for the dog's health. I'm very respectful of what the parents want and specific details for the happiness of their dog. I'm very attentive when I'm with the dog to make sure they are safe at all times. I do in client's home sitting for almost all my clients, and they live it. They will verify trustworthiness, loyalty and respect of their home. I also trying to make it affordable compared to the average median for Jacksonville, FL.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with them. Before getting my own in adulthood, I would watch my friend’s dogs for fun and bonded with them immediately. Will shower them with so much love, attention and walks / playtime. Brand new puppy that you’ve been dreaming to get? Is it driving you wild? Are you still dying to take it everywhere with you?!?! My name is Grace, and I am here to alleviate all of your problems so you can kick back your heels, finally have that space day you’ve been searching for ever since you got your gorgeous gorgeous puppy. I just wound down a tech company so I am quite flexible. I personally trained my service animal about 90% of the way through (he alerts me of a medical condition) before paying an egregious amount of money to a world-renowned trainer… she was honest enough to refund the money and tell me that Mr. Truffles was perfect and I should get into doggy training. So here I am… hanging up my corporate hat and ready to dive in, head-first, into the world of dog training to help you and your beloved enjoy the world of luxury of traveling together. No bites, no fights! My Grandfather would say. In this case I’d imagine he would say “No barks, no…” (honestly I can’t think of anything that rhymes 😅 Anywho. I am here to help. I am an ex-headhunter turned founder and CEO. Beloved shopper and luxury traveler myself. Here at your beck and call to make sure you and Mr. or Mrs. _________ make it to your plane well-dressed, fully relaxed, and on your best behavior as usual 💕😉 🥂 I have a very friendly 3.5 year old labradoodle who loves to play with other doggies. Also knows how to be chill if the other doggy doesn’t want to play. My home is safe, fully gated, has a pool and backyard. All the toys and treats (whole-foods; cucumbers, apples, chicken, cheese, salmon…or whatever your heart desires or you provide!) And if I come to home sit.. I will treat your home just as my own and make sure it is safe, clean and properly locked up when we go on walks.

About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
