“Katie was amazing right from the initial meet and greet! She knew all the right questions to ask and things to say and made me feel really confident in leaving Scout. This was my first time using a sitter and this app, but I can't recommend her enough! Super communicative and knowledgeable. Will definitely be using her again for any trips. Thank you so much Katie!!”

“Kara was incredibly sweet and kept me well-informed about everything happening with my pets while I was away. She dedicated ample time during her visits, ensuring they received plenty of love and attention in my absence. Trusting a stranger with your fur babies and home can be daunting, but Kara made the experience completely comfortable. I’m truly grateful for her exceptional care. 20/10!”

7. Hampton S.
About: Hello! My name is Hampton and I’ve been taking care of pets since I can remember! I live in the Riverside area of Jacksonville and mostly work from home. Working remotely allows me to take care of your pets in Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Jacksonville Areas like Avondale, San Marco and Murray Hill. My first cat’s name was Reeses. I grew up with dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, and all kinds of pets. Currently I have one cat, Barry, a crazy Bengal. After 10 years of professional pet care experience, I started Prestige Pets in order to offer a superior alternative to traditional pet sitting and dog walking services. My passion for pet care drives me to go the extra mile, providing pet owners with the peace of mind they deserve. One meet and greet later and your family becomes my family! Contact me for a Meet & Greet! 😊 I work remote full time which allows me to also build relationships with local pet owners who need pet care and house sitting services at the same time. I am in frequent contact with all of my clients when I am caring for their pet and/or home and always sending cute pictures of the pets. I follow client directions to ensure their pets are always in a safe environment regardless of the type of service.
