About: I have worked as a volunteer vet tech , 2 different boarding facilities, and have been a dog groomer since 2019. I love all dogs and and enjoy working with them daily I’m currently part time only work 3 days a week so I have weekends to spare and a few days during the week . When at work I’m gone 6 hours I have baby gates to set up in our house incase separation is needed , I have a lot of dog toys to play with , as well as a nice fenced in yard ! I also have water bowls set up inside and outside

About: I have 15 years of pet loving experience. I have past experience with bottle feeding anything from goats to puppies and kittens. I currently have two dogs and one cat. The dogs go for walks in the morning before work, and a walk after work accompanied with playing fetch for as long as my dog can. He decides when we go back inside since he has been inside all day. My other dog get belly rubs and kisses for as long as his brother is playing fetch. Once we go in, they flop on the floor and the cat then gets my undivided attention and a few treats. I like telling you about my day with my fur babies because it is exactly how I plan to treat yours. My Monday thru Friday work schedule is 5:00am till 3:30pm. I work full time and all pets will be left alone for eight to nine hours Monday through Friday. Please confirm that you understand that before booking. This is a hobby for me because I LOVE dogs, I will decline as necessary My yard is not fenced and I cannot accept flight risks. I have two dogs that love everyone and a cat that thinks he is in charge. If needed, I do reserve the right to crate any dog I deem necessary whether it’s yours or mine. Usually mine

“Cassidy was simply fantastic. It was clear from the first moment that she had a lot of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even horses (I own one.) Cassidy was always responsive in communicating. I was able to go on my trip, knowing my kids were in good hands. There is no doubt that I will have Cassidy care for my animals the next time.”


“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”


About: Hi! My name is Hirono. I’m an experienced pet lover based in Jacksonville, FL. I’ve grown up with dogs and currently live with my sweet Scottish Fold cat. I truly enjoy caring for animals and will treat your pet like part of the family. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and in-home care depending on your needs. I’m gentle, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog is full of energy or your cat just wants quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. I’d love to get to know your pet! I’m stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to hang with my cat. We enjoy sunbathing and chill. Feed his favourite wet food every night. I used to travel often and needed my pet to be taken care of, so I have understanding of pet owner. I’ll be cautious of home security and pet’s safety.

“She’s a rockstar. Very reliable and we appreciate her so much.”


“Roxy & Lily both loved the attention Mike gave them. Excellent daily updates for the drop in visits, and the fotos were also much appreciated. Great job, Mike, and thanks for taking care of the pups!”


“During my 2-week absence, Christian did a fabulous job caring for my cats Tommy and Coco. Because she was communicative and responsive, I experienced no anxiety about leaving them in her care. Christian sent me wonderful pictures and texts that reflected her extraordinary gift for compassionate caregiving. Tommy and Coco were obviously happy and stress free because Christian loved and cared for them as I do. My cats were literally crazy for her, as she spoiled them rotten. Amazingly, Tommy posed in pictures with Christian, as if she’d raised him from a kitten; and my skittish Coco, who normally hides from strangers, allowed Christian to regularly find her “hiding.” I give Christian my highest praise for a job exceptionally done. I could not have been more pleased. Not only is she professional and courteous, Christian has a phenomenal gift of spirit. For anyone seeking pet care of excellent quality, I would recommend Christian. In the future, she will be my first choice to care for my Tommy and Coco.”

“Savannah was great with my girl, Iris. We will definitely be rebooking!”


“Olivia was great looking after our fur babies! She’s very communicative and sent lots of photos, she even brought a special treat for them :) I would definitely recommend her!! Thank you so much again Olivia!”


About: I have a dog aggressive pit bull so I can take care of big dogs to little dogs and a range of doggy emotions. Friends have also relied on me to care for their kitty fur babies! I am currently working part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pups. Days are easier than nights for me! I am unable to care for other pets in my home, but love to play and snuggle and take long walks with your babies in your home or neighborhood.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple different breeds since I was about 12 years old. Walking, bathing, playing, feeding schedules, basic training, etc. I use to walk neighborhood dogs as a kid/teen plus owning quite a few over the years myself. Since then I worked in a doggy daycare for about 3 years before becoming a stay at home mom. I’m currently looking to return to work since both kids are in school now, so rover is something I want to pick back up on until I find something and continue on the side once I start back working. My availability is pretty open.. I am gone from 7:40am-8:10am & 2:20-3:20pm Monday-Friday to drop off/pick up my children from school. I would absolutely love to help with your fur-baby(ies) from companionship, to feeding schedules, to walking/exercising, bathing, medication and even basic training or continuing the training schedules you already have in place at home! 🙂 I’m currently in between being a stay at home mom and returning to the work force part time, so my availability is pretty open.. Flexible I can accommodate any rules, schedules or training set in place by the owners.. at their home or in mine. I always keep animals separate at feeding times and follow guidelines from owners as far as sleeping arrangements or instructions for how said animal should be put up during times I’m away.

Exceptional! Plenty of updates, pictures, and even took the trash out. Much appreciated Christian thank you!
