“Bella loves going to Megan’s and playing with the other dogs. I know she’s had fun because she is so tired that she doesn’t beg for her nightly walk.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.

About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.

“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”

About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.

“My pup, bandit, had a great time. I scheduled a day care for Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, as soon as I pulled into the drive way, Bandit got really excited. Jerome sent pictures both days and updates, he even fed him dinner which wasn’t necessary since I plan on feeding him when he got him but it was super kind of him!! Bandit is a high energy dog and when he got home all he did was sleep which is great! I would definitely recommend Jerome and I would use him again. He was very nice and accommodating, treating my dog as his own :)”

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!

“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”

About: Hi. I’m Lisa. I have multiple dogs. This is not a red flag—it’s a résumé. I’ve spent years deep in animal rescue and still actively foster, which means I regularly welcome new personalities, quirks, and mild emotional instability into my home. At this point, I don’t just “watch dogs”—I run a highly functional, well-managed society of them. We live on a private 5-acre property, so your dog will have space to run, explore, decompress, and live their best life (or quietly supervise from afar—equally valid). I specialize in: • Senior dogs (less teeth, more wisdom) • Anxious dogs (we respect boundaries here) • High-energy chaos agents • Dogs with ✨very specific personalities✨ • Medication routines (including the dramatic ones) Because of my rescue background, I’m extremely tuned in to dog behavior. I can read subtle cues, prevent issues before they start, and keep things structured, safe, and low-stress—even in a multi-dog environment. ⸻ 🐾 House Rules / Vibe Check • Kind dogs only (no true aggression—quirky is fine, chaos is fine, mean is not) • Must be safe around other dogs or able to be managed appropriately • Owners who understand their dog’s personality = my favorite people • Honesty about behavior/needs is required (I can handle a lot—I just need to know) ⸻ 🐾 What You’re Actually Getting (aka why I’m not the cheapest option) This is not a revolving-door setup or a “quick check-in” situation. This is: • Experienced, behavior-aware care • A structured, calm environment • Space to decompress (5 acres, not a crowded house) • Intentional management of all dogs in my care • Someone who notices the small things before they become big things I keep my bookings limited so every dog gets real attention, proper supervision, and a stress-free experience. ⸻ 🐾 Honesty Hour If your dog is: • A little spoiled → same • A little weird → preferred • A little feral → I’ve built my brand on this • A senior with strong opinions → immediate VIP access Your dog won’t just be “watched.” They will be understood, respected, and gently obsessed over. ⸻ 🐾 What You Can Expect • Frequent updates + photos (yes, probably more than you expected) • Consistent routines based on your dog’s needs • A calm, confident sitter—even when dogs are being… dogs • Thoughtful, individualized care ⸻ 🐾 Bottom Line This is my life, not a side hustle. If you’re looking for experienced, reliable, premium-level care—with plenty of space, structure, and someone who genuinely gets dogs—you’re in the right place. Fragile angel, chaotic goblin, or distinguished crusty legend… all are welcome here. My schedule is currently very open—which means your dog is getting full-time, high-attention care, not a “fit them in between errands” situation. I’m home most of the day, so dogs in my care are: • Rarely left alone • Let out frequently (because tiny bladders + strong opinions are real) • Closely monitored for mood, appetite, and overall vibes • Given attention on demand (or respectfully ignored if they’re in their “don’t perceive me” era) This setup is especially ideal for: • Seniors who need extra support • Anxious dogs who do best with consistency • Small dogs who believe they are in charge (I respect it, I just manage it) Because I’m consistently present, I’m able to keep things calm, structured, and safe—even with multiple dogs. I notice the little things early, adjust as needed, and make sure every dog is comfortable in their own way. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and stress level are my top priorities. I live on a private 5-acre property with multiple secure yard areas, which allows me to tailor each dog’s experience. Dogs are never just “turned loose”—everything is intentional, supervised, and based on their individual personality and comfort level. I do have larger dogs in my home—but they are extremely small-dog savvy. Through rescue and fostering (over 1,000 small dogs), they’ve learned to be calm, respectful, and appropriate with tiny dogs. That said—if your dog prefers space from larger dogs, that’s absolutely not a problem. I’m able to use separate yard areas and manage groups accordingly so every dog feels safe and comfortable. Because I foster and manage multiple dogs regularly, I’m very experienced in: • Reading dog behavior and body language • Safe introductions (or choosing not to introduce at all) • Structured group management and separation when needed • Preventing issues before they start All dogs (mine included) are always separated for feeding and meal times until everyone is completely finished. This is a strict safety protocol I never deviate from. Dogs can be crated if needed (or if that’s what they’re used to), and I also separate for rest and decompression to keep the environment calm and low-stress.

“Anne was amazing!! I honestly was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but she kept me updated throughout the day! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Anna G.

About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!

About: My husband and I have cared for dogs our whole lives. We have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. We also have experience with leash training, teaching commands, and crate training. Between Chad and I, there will almost always be someone at house watching your dog. Our fully fenced in yard allows us to let your dog run around and play at anytime. We typically feed all of our animals 2x a day, but can feed your’s on a different schedule if needed. All dogs are taken out every 4 hours during the day. At night, the last potty break is around midnight, and the first one around 7am. Since we have 4 dogs of our own, we are used to building our time around them. If we are ever gone from the house, we put the dogs in their crates for their safety and comfort. As mentioned above, we have a fully fenced in lot with ample space for dogs to run around and enjoy. We love dogs and any dog that we care for will be treated as if it is our own. We love snuggling with them in bed, throwing the ball outside, and taking them on walks. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and as at home as possible. Due to our schedules, one of us is always home unless we run an errand together, so your dog will always be in great company. We have 4 dogs: 1 fixed female dachshund 4yo, 1 fixed male dachshund 8yo, 1 intact male bloodhound 8yo, 1 intact male hound mix 1yo. All of our dogs are up to date on shots and have ample experience playing with other dogs. The dachshund’s tend to do their own thing, and the hounds love to spend as much time as they can outside. None of our dog’s are aggressive, but we are prepared to separate any of our dogs from the main living space, if ever needed. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is up to date on shots, he usually stays in our room, closed off from everyone else when inside. We have a 1.5 year old son who adores all animals and will love your dog. We take precautions to make sure he is never getting into a dog’s space and disturbing their space. Our son’s room is gated off from all animals. We have a fenced off area in the back of our property with chickens.

“Beau had a great time at Kelly's especially in her big fenced yard! He came home happy and tired after his day long visit.”

“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

Karen J.

“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Priscilla, a lifelong dog lover and pet parent who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds and senior dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks, so I take the time to follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, meals, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone dependable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Your pets aren’t “just pets,” and I’ll never treat them that way. ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present with the dogs in my care throughout the day. I’m available for doggy daycare and overnight boarding, and I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, play, and rest schedule as closely as possible. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to feel confident about where your dog is staying. I prioritize safe introductions, supervision, routine, and a comfortable home environment. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, crate, and care instructions carefully and send regular photo and video updates while your dog is with me.
