“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Bart and Poppy for nearly two weeks in our home. She communicated and sent pictures regularly and also managed our plants. We feel confident and trust that she would demonstrate the same level of professionalism with your pets and home. We plan to use Sarah again and give her a very high recommendation. Thank you Sarah!”


“So grateful to have found Jessica. She was able to fit us in with little notice, arrived on time, and dove right in to get to know our two dogs—one a very energetic puppy. They loved her (I can just tell) and we loved how she sent pics and was so personable and professional. I look forward to having her sit for us again soon.”


“Machalia did a great job watching our dog Lovie and house sitting with her. She took care of Lovie and the house like they errr her own: provided regular communication and photos, and kept yo our care instructions to a T. We’d definitely use her again!”


“Crystal is amazing! She house/dog sat for us from Fri-Sun after just meeting everyone briefly the week before. She kept great communication with pictures and conversations. Highly recommend!”


“I recently had the pleasure of having Ligia take care of my dog, Nala. I couldn't have been happier with the service provided. As an owner of a Great Dane, I am always nervous about leaving her due to their susceptibility to bloat. She was incredibly attentive to this concern, ensuring that received proper feeding and care to minimize any risks. Ligia provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog seemed happy and well-cared for. The house was left in perfect condition. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely be calling on Ligia for future dog-sitting needs. Highly recommend!”


“Dulce was fantastic! She stayed with my three dogs and cat over a weekend and took great care of them. She gave them plenty of head scratches and sent pictures/videos. Definitely will rebook with her in the future.”


“Scott was absolutely wonderful both with our Amos, and our home. We got plants of photos and updates for Amos’ activity and daily happenings, and Scott was quick to respond if ever we needed anything. Scott must be a dog whisperer of sorts, because our Amos had zero issues with us leaving (he ate, did not pace at all, settled and napped per usual, and slept all night, and even cuddled with Scott!).. which is exactly what we were hoping for! We 100% would recommend Scott and will be relying on him again for any of our house/pet sitting needs.”


“Hannah did an in-house pet sitting for us for 6 days. She did amazing with all 3 of our dogs. Always very responsive. She was friendly and nice, so we felt immediate comfort with leaving her with our home and pets. Looking forward to booking again.”


“Shaná, we are blessed having you care for our fur children! When we return home, they’re always so happy! The level of comfort they experience being able to stay in their home when we are away is priceless! Shaná, thank you for leaving our home in exceptional condition each time you stay. We look forward to booking your services again 💗💚🙂”


About: New to Jacksonville. I’ve owned plenty of pets growing up, experienced with dogs large and small. Very patient with animals in general. I own a French Bulldog, his name is Billy. He is very energetic, and gets along with everyone. I own a food business and bartend part-time, so my schedule is flexible. My mom will also be home around the clock, for extra supervision. There’s plenty to do around my neighborhood. Billy will also be there to keep them company whenever they want, and will respect when they just want to chill.

“Natazia watched my pups for a week while I was out of town and sent me pictures everyday, slept with my pups and treated them like her own. They absolutely loved her so much and I had no worries the entire time. I will 100% be using her in the future!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets from doggos all the way to lizards for over 15 years while raising kids with a passion for animals along the way! I am a work from home mom whose kids are all in school. I am very flexible and will be able to take your pets out on nature walks or just cuddle them while I work! They have full access to be as much at home as they can be while you are away! I have a large back yard that is great for playing fetch or just sniffing around! I love to take pets to the beach for walks and to get some exercise and can assure you they will be nice and tired when they come back to you!

“Jennifer was great! She did amazing with our dogs and cat. I would definitely use her services again in the future. Couldn't be happier with her!”


“Nikki was wonderful with our two small dogs..she is sincere in her care and patience and willingness to adjust with a picky eater! We are going to use her again in the very near future! We HIGHLY recommend her!!!”


“I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven! He completely loved on our 2 year old pittie mix for an entire week. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was being so well taken care of! Our rescue is a bit reactive and uncertain around new people and animals, and he handled him like a pro. Steven took the time to get to understand Indigo at his own pace. Definitely booking again. Thanks Steven!!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was younger. I grew up around all types of dogs my mom is a retired groomer so I loved working with her! I had Rottweilers while growing up and a little terrier mix he is 12 now lol. I personally have worked at an animal hospital for over a year now as a veterinary technician. I am familiar with different behaviors, medicating, and more. I currently work 4 days a week and one weekend of the month. I have been looking for a side job where I can make my own schedule. I love working with animals and seeing all the different breeds. I am familiar with emergency situations and what to do if it ever came down to that. I am very cautious with treats, toys, gates being locked, doors being shut and crate training. If your baby is not crate trained and free roams all items will be out of reach that could be potentially harmful.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid. I love all pets, no matter the shape or size and I’m very passionate about their happiness, well-being and safety! I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University, working to get my doctorate and occupational therapy! I only have classes in the morning, before or after class, I usually work out and study. With just moving here in May, I love exploring and walking around new places with my dog who loves the beach just as much as I do! I take pet safety very seriously and always want to ensure the highest level of care for not only my dog, but your pets as well. For my dog, we usually do leashed walks around the grounds of my apartment or we go to the dog park! With the Florida heat, I typically carry water and treats to ensure my pet doesn’t get overhead! I am happy to do leashed walks or hang out with them in fenced in parks or backyards!

“She is very nice.”


“Sarah was awesome with my cat! Super friendly, reliable, clean and asking if any additional help needed. I loved getting little updates while I was away—it gave me total peace of mind. Definitely would have her pet sit again!”


About: From a young age, I have been surrounded by pets, which has cultivated my deep passion for animals. I currently care for five pets, including two dogs, two cats, and a leopard gecko. I prioritize their well-being by taking my dogs on regular walks and visiting the dog park, ensuring they lead active and fulfilling lives. For my cats, I provide engaging toys and playtime to encourage proper exercise and exploration. Having adopted all my pets at a young age, I have dedicated considerable time to their training, ensuring they are well-behaved and socialized. My love for animals drives my desire to offer high-quality care, filling in for the attention and affection that pet owners may sometimes be unable to provide. I would be honored to assist with your pet care needs and ensure your beloved companions receive the attention and love they deserve. I am currently employed full-time from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with the occasional Saturday shift from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM. I am available to provide care for your pets during weekday evenings and on weekends when they need extra attention and affection. To ensure my pets lead fulfilling lives, I prioritize ample opportunities for play, exercise, and bathroom breaks. This includes regular walks, trips to the dog park, and providing a variety of engaging toys. My dogs particularly enjoy interactive games like fetch and participate in training sessions to stimulate their minds. We also utilize puzzle toys with treats to help expend their energy. They are fed twice a day, receiving a portion of dry kibble in the morning and a nutritious dinner. Their evening meals consist of a balanced combination of kibble, high-protein wet food, and supplements for skin, coat, joint health, and vitamins. Additionally, I routinely trim their nails and brush their coats to maintain their health and appearance. I believe that a healthy dog is a happy dog, and after a day of activity, we all enjoy relaxing together for cuddle time on the couch to wind down for the evening. I assure you that I will provide the same level of care for your pets as I do for my own. Please reach out to discuss your goals for hiring a sitter or walker, and we can develop a tailored plan to ensure they receive the best possible experience and care they deserve.
