“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.”


“Victoria was amazing with our girls, and gave them all the special attention needed for the 4th of July festivities. We’re so appreciative to feel confident in the great care she takes with both our senior dog and young one, as well as our home.”


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.

“Brianna was great!! Was on time, kept both pets on their feeding schedule, played with them and even washed their bowls for me! Will be using her in the future and recommending her to anyone needing exemplary pet care.”

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I create a peaceful, grounded environment where animals feel secure and cared for, whether I’m stepping into their space or welcoming them into mine. With years of hands-on experience, especially with senior pets and those needing medication, I bring a calm, attentive presence that animals quickly respond to. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect, gentleness, and responsibility I give my own. My goal is to bring peace of mind—knowing your pets are not just safe, but genuinely cared for.

Alyssa M.
“Alyssa lives in my apartment complex and I met her through Ada, the dog she is fostering. Ada was on her leash, about 15 feet away, begging for my attention so I asked if I could pet her. Alyssa said yes and explained that Ada is hyper-reactive, but I still thought she was an adorable dog. After talking with Alyssa over the last few months and having Ada stay at my apartment a few times, I could see how well Alyssa cared for her and trained her. Ada behaves so much better on the leash now, you almost wouldn't even notice her walking by you on the sidewalk. Alyssa even wrote detailed instructions on shampooing Ada's feet hahaha”
