House Sitting in Eagle Bend, Jacksonville, FL

About: I’ve spent over 15 years in the pet care world, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of settings — from veterinary clinics and kennels to long-term boarding facilities, doggy daycares, and canine training, including work with both gentle companions and those with behavioral challenges. At home, I share my life with two Australian Shepherds and three other wonderful dogs. To me, pets are far more than just animals — they’re family. The bond we share with them is one of life’s greatest rewards, and I believe their physical and mental well-being is the foundation for that special connection. Every tail wag, happy bark, and content sigh reminds me why I do what I do. Pet care is my passion, which means I’m available to meet your pet’s needs any time — day or night, seven days a week. My typical schedule allows limited weekday care, staring at 5pm. I am available anytime on weekends. I have a large, secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to play and help keep visiting pups engaged and happy. If your dog prefers a quieter pace, I’m always ready for one-on-one time — whether that’s playing, going for walks, running, hiking, exploring, or simply snuggling. No pet should ever feel unwanted, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.

“Jeweliana and Riley did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs, Ruby and Sydney. Jeweliana communicate with me daily through text and pictures. We were very happy with their care that they provided for the dogs.”

“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“10/10 Recommend. ShaRonda was wonderful to my fur babies, communication was excellent. Even my shy kitty came out to greet and get some love. I’m so happy with how professional and friendly everything went. I felt super at ease while away on my trip, especially knowing my dog Sunny has anxiety issues along with storm anxiety. Wonderful feeling knowing that she took care of my babies as if they were her own. Will absolutely hire again if I have another trip!”

“Chrissy accepted a very last minute request to watch two of my dogs. She took time to do the meet and greet even though it was last minute. Chrissy was wonderful and will definitely recommend. You can tell she has a love of animals and that shows in how she cared for them. She communicated often and send lots of pics while we were away. Thank you Chrissy!”

About: Hi, you are looking at a lifelong animal love who just quit her corporate job to love on dogs full time! 🥰 About me: active, healthy, woman in my mid 40s with lots of love to give. My mom raised maltese pups since I was a little kid. I raised my own mini dachshund since I was 18 who lived a full life until she crossed the rainbow bridge at 16.5 years old. I also had many cats and rescued a pup that wandered into our front yard. Dogs are MY life, so I happily welcomed Jaxie (mini dachshund) into my family in Feb '20. He is such a sweet boy - loves belly rubs, hunting lizards, and playing with all his furfriends. If you have a friendly pup who enjoys the company of another friendly pup, come on over! Your pup will have so much fun. Jaxie plays very nice (very submissive, is always on his back, even with chihuahuas) and loves to get chased and be chased. Jaxie is not food aggressive. And, he's not toy aggressive either - he loves sharing his many toys with his furfriends! Or, if your pup doesn’t want to play, Jaxie is great matching his energy level to other pups. We’ve had many older pups here where Jaxie leaves them alone out of respect. On the other hand, he’s also amazed pet parents by getting their older pups to play! My 24/7 job is to take care of your furbaby I'll be home with your furbaby all day, watching over them, snuggling them, and making sure they stay safe and enriched with playtime. We have lots of toys here! House is organized and clean at all times. My fiance is a firefighter who works 1 day on, 2 days off. As such, on his off days, he's home all day. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very small and quiet neighborhood. Backyard is fully fenced and backs up to a creek. No neighbors in the back. Whenever your pup is in the backyard, I am always out there. Your pup is never unattended outside. Your fur baby can sleep and hangout where ever they want (couch, bed, dog beds). If your dog loves walks, we'll go on walks. If your dog has a sweet tooth, we'll get pup cups! Or, if your fur baby just wants to chill, we can do that too! I sync my energy level to your dog's energy level. I do not take any other dogs during the same time period as I am caring for your pup. I can do drop in visits or walks if you live fairly close to me. Finally, I am a good communicator (can't you tell by this dissertation; ha!) and will send updates and pics at least 3 times a day. If you want less, just let me know. :) My daily routine revolves around my own dog, so rest assured your dog will be treated like family, and will be given the same amount of care and attention; dogs are #1 in my household! When I take care of your furbaby, ensuring your furbaby is happy, fulfilled, and loved is my number #1 goal! We can do meet and greets via Zoom or at my house. Your call!

About: I've raised and trained a guide dog, and I've been a frequent volunteer at the local animal shelter since I was 16. I'd be thrilled to come hang out with your pets! I'm currently on the job hunt, so most times work for me! I'm pretty flexible with days and times, just feel free to message me! I'm a very experienced pet owner- I'm comfortable and confident handling all sorts of animals, and you can absolutely trust me to take care of your furry family

About: I grow up taking care of my family and friend's pets. When I started working, I to care of horses and cows that was my first job in the pet care industry, and I move to taking care of dogs for a short bit and then I moved to Florida. I have two dogs that I have to take care of. Evey day I feed them; I fill up their water balls and lots of love. Will I check the water balls often and I always lock all the door that the pet maybe will escape and make sure that the pets are safe.

“Charity and her husband, Jeff, took great care of our dog! Our dog is suffering from a progressive disease that has affected his hind legs. He is only able to stand with the use of his dog wheels. He also requires oral medication twice a day. I had contacted Charity last minute after an unsuccessful overnight stay at a kennel. At our meet and greet, I could tell she was a person that loves dogs, and George took to her instantly! When we returned home George was happy and not stressed at all. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my fur baby!”

“I’ll start by saying that before choosing Megan we looked at quite a few of the sitters on this site. We left on 22 December and return on January 3. That being said it was a lot to ask of any sitter to babysitter over the holidays on such short notice. When I met Megan, I felt so comfortable with her. She stayed for a meet and greet for quite a while to get used to our animals. She accepted our timeslots, even though it was over the holidays. We felt like she was more than worth what she was charging as she was losing time with her family over the holidays and offering to stay with our pets so that we could go out of state to spend time with ours. It was very important to us that we had someone we could trust she was staying in our home to sit for our animals, I can say that I am so happy that we chose her. She was amazing. Gave us daily updates videos and made us comfortable. We were able to enjoy our visit without having to worry about our animals. They are not enough stars to rate for the job that she did and the peace of mind that we had. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. Megan thank you so much. We appreciate everything that you did for us.🦮🐈‍⬛ Buddy and Zoie miss you ❤️❤️❤️”

“Carrie was amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for the week. She came for a meet and greet and then did a couple walks beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable. I got lots of photos while we were away. Both dogs seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves! Carrie even washed all of her linens and re-made the bed before we got home, and the house was left just as clean (if not cleaner!) when we got back. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!”

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. Have a fenced-in yard at home with security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 4-year-old German shepherd who is calm and well-trained.

About: Before moving, I use to work at UF vet hospital as an assistant and technician. While working there I would house-sit and pet-sit for the doctors I worked with. I have been in the animal field for at least 3 years and continue to be in this field. I also have experience in primary care. I have two pups of my own. I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to watch over your loved fur-ones. I’m free majority of weekends and mostly the week days. I live in an apartment so having them over will be a little challenging but I’m happy to work with it. I have two dogs who are friendly and love making friends. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am happy to keep them all the company.

About: First off, my name is James Dillon, but I go by Dillon. Second, Dogs are one of my two loves in life! I’ve owned pets my entire like and have been training dogs for 10+ years. Currently have a one year old Lab mix (named Pot Roast) and a two year old Belgian Malinois (named Juno). Both keep me active! I work for an electronics company, from home, during the week. I do get off at 4:30 week days and can be available after work. Saturday and Sundays are free for all your Drop-ins and Walks! Unfortunately my yard is not currently fenced so all visits will need to take place in/at your home, though Parks may not be a bad idea either! Play time is always included as is water and treats(with approval).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was 6. i currently work for dog boarding. I’ve been told i’m a very reliable worker I’m in college but doing online so i am home. i work 2 jobs but take off for the babies :) i am available to walk. i can sit anytime needed I take my animals out a lot and play ball with them i pick up after my dogs and do everything needed to keep them safe

About: I’ve loved animals since I was little and have always wanted to work with them. I may be new to pet sitting, but I’m caring, responsible, and excited to give your dog and cat lots of attention and love. I’m currently available for pet care during the day, from 9 AM to 2 PM, which makes me a great fit for mid-day walks, check-ins, or keeping your pet company while you're at work or running errands. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Over the years, my love for animals has grown immensely. Dogs are cute and cuddly little furries that will never grow up and will give you unconditional love. I am currently available for a wide variety of options as I do not have a job and don't having one for the foreseeable future. I have a screened in porch, a big back yard and one small Maltese to keep your dog company. It is a very quiet neighborhood.

“Rebecca was fabulous! My oldest pup passed away just a couple of days before she was scheduled to take care of them for a few days and she came over to my house the day he passed on her own time to comfort me because she knew I was alone. She really went above and beyond, her caring heart really shined through. I am so very appreciative for all that she did to help get me through this difficult time and know that my other pup was well cared for!”
