House Sitting Downtown Jacksonville

“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.”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets my entire life- mostly cats and dogs, but we also had fish, turtles, tortoises, gerbils, and even a few ferrets at one point! I know how much pets are our family and strive to provide the best care for yours. I've dog/cat sat for family and friends for years now and have become known as everyone's go-to pet sitter. I have extended out to some family friends and acquaintances as well and just really enjoy spending time with pets! My longest clients have had 4 different boxers in the 11 years I've been sitting for them. Their elderly boxer passed away earlier this year, and I was responsible for giving him medications including oral chemo for the last few years of his life. Additionally, my cat passed away a few years ago at almost 22 years old- she was on a steady medication since she was 16, as well as some other prescriptions throughout the years. Therefore I am comfortable with senior pets, giving meds, etc. Thank you for the opportunity to love on your pets when you cannot be home. I am always happy to do pre-booking meet and greets as well. I live in San Marco, and currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm in the downtown area. Therefore I'm mostly available evenings and weekends at this time. However, I am available for overnights during the weekdays as I do have some flexibility in my schedule and if it's not too far from downtown, as I could go by your home for a mid day potty break/quick walk. This would probably work best for cats, or for dogs who can make it 4ish hours without needing a potty break. Could discuss further if interested! I'm very attentive and will make sure your pets are safe at home and/or on walks. I love to hang out and spend time with pets, especially since I currently don't have any of my own! I have a lot of experience with senior pets as well, and am comfortable giving medications.

“Maverick took amazing care of my pup and my house while I was away! He was communicative, respectful, and caring. I would absolutely recommend Maverick and will book again in the future!”

“Kelly was fantastic!! Waylen and Jax had the best time and Kelly took great care of them. Kelly also took awesome care of our house and even cleaned the sheets and remade the bed before leaving. Kelly is awesome, responsive, and made our trip stress free! 10/10 recommend”

“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!”

“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!”

Leonard C.

“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.”

Lara B.

“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!”

Justina G.

“Eamon was absolutely amazing. He made sure my pup was well taken care of and provided me updates throughout the day. He was a perfect house guest, left everything spotless and even did the dishes and laundry from his stay. I will 100% be using Eamon for every need going forward. 10/10!”

Blake B.

“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!”

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 have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.

“Kirstin was so incredible looking after my baby! She was so communicative but also didn’t have to rely on me for every little thing. I felt 100% confident that Gaia was in more than capable hands. Will definitely be booking her the next time I’m out of town!”

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️

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.

“Evan was excellent with our Maximus. He communicated well and spent the whole day with our pup a few days after Maximus was neutered and provided great care. Would highly recommend him!”

“Scarlett is wonderful and takes incredible care of my dog! She is amazing to work with and has been so good to my dog and spent so much time winning him over. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures. I felt relaxed and comfortable while away knowing that my dog was in such great hands! I highly recommend her and so does my dog!”

Grace R.

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”
