Cat Sitting in Fernandina Beach

About: I hold a BS in Animal Behavior and have more than 15 years of pet care experience that runs the gamut across feline and canine breeds, ages, personalities, and needs. I am committed to making your pet(s) feel safe, secure, and loved, and giving you peace of mind by adjusting to their (and your!) unique routines and preferences. In addition to care experience, I have worked with puppies and adolescent dogs in training groups focused on socialization, obedience and leash-walking manners, as well as one-on-one with cats on basic obedience (yes, really!). Whether you're in need of walking or short-term care, I will treat your beloved companion(s) as my own - I cannot wait to become their new best friend! This is my full-time job! My schedule is flexible, so for the most part I can be available for your animal(s) when and where they need me. Happy to coordinate with your individual needs. I currently offer pet sitting in your home only so that your pet(s) can feel comfortable in their own space, sticking as closely to their regular routine as possible. Let me know what you need so you can have a worry-free experience while you're away - lots of photos, frequent check-ins, facetime, you name it!

“We booked Dean on fairly short notice, because our usual boarding place no longer takes care of cats, and another pet sitter stood us up. And we've been very happy having chosen Dean for the care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation to Europe. This was our first pet sitting experience. Dean was available for a meet-and-greet the next morning after we put in our request. Dean has been very responsive and communicates very clearly and quickly, which is one of main the reasons why we chose him. Dean is also a very pleasant person to be around and to talk to, so we immediately felt good about him taking care of our 3 cats. He came by every day. He brought in our mail, cleaned up after our cats, fed our cats and stayed for quite some time every day to give the cats some attention - he even vacuumed our home. He sent us pictures and a small update every day. We think he's done a great job, and we would definitely hire him again if we need another pet sitter. He's highly recommended.”

“Carrie is fantastic! She took great care of our Gypsy while we were out of town. We will be rebooking every time we go out of town. Thanks Carrie!”

“Emma did a really great job looking after Florence and Reddington - this turned out to be a longer trip than planned at the last minute (almost 3 weeks) and she extended her visits with no hesitation, spending extra time with them to make sure they were well looked after and had the company needed while we were away so long. Her patience with Florence certainly paid off, I’m glad she finally warmed to her and got her head scrunches 🥰 Thank you Emma!”

“Beth did great with our kitty Cleo while we were away. We loved the photos and updates. Cleo easily warmed up to her and she fulfilled all of her needs while we were gone. Thanks Beth!”

About: My dogs and I have been through AKC certified obedience training I'm experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time Can housesit and care for dogs with special needs Providing positive reinforcement and tasty bribes is my main method of gaining trust with a new dog friend. I'm open to meeting and discussing all forms of service ahead of time I have a flexible part time job that is generally from 9 - 4 Monday through Friday. These times are flexible so if you have a question about a particular day feel free to ask My 2 dogs and I walk almost everyday around our neighborhood just to get some adventure and smell some new fire hydrants. My house has a wood 6' privacy fence around the backyard and I have time to them out 5 or 6 times a day for bathroom breaks or to just run around an play. My dogs started being crate trained as a puppy but as they have grown older and more trusty we use them less and less. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and treat training to bond and build rapport. I feel comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes and would prefer to take care of new dogs in their home environment first. My dogs: I have a 6 year old 60lb female Portuguese water dog -- She's a big napper, cuddler and loves cats. My 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.

“I am not very good about leaving reviews, but Josie B was probably the best caregiver we have ever had. After meeting with her in person, I immediately relaxed and knew our pets would be taken care of....when we left the next day, I was not visualizing all the bad things that could go wrong with our 4 legged babies, like I always do when we leave them. She sent us the report cards and many pictures. She was not nervous at all about giving our newly diagnosed cat the insulin injections she now needs with both meals. When we decided to come home early, she immediately adjusted the schedule and came by to check on them one last time. When we got home, they were not really that happy to see us at first. I think they were hoping she was coming by again. LOL. My dog and cat were well taken care of...We had decided to try and board them this time with a boarding kennel, but they cancelled because they said they needed to have an overnight vet to monitor our cat. I am so glad they did because it led us to Josie. I will NEVER ever use anyone else again.”

“Deidra took amazing care of our little girl!! She worked with us to meet our pup’s normal schedule, and was sure to keep us thoroughly updated with check in reports for each visit! She also kept our pup active and socialized with her own wonderful pup, Teddy. We will look to have Deidra care for our pup again next trip and would highly recommend the same if you want total piece of mind and care for your special family member as well!”

About: ➖ About Me ➖ Hello, my name is Hailey and I love all pets of all breeds, sizes, and age. With years of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet care beyond just sitting. I’ve worked with Rover in multiple states, fostered dogs throughout college, and grew up caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. While my current pets are cats, my love for dogs hasn’t changed—I just focus on in-home care to give them the best experience in their own space. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their unique needs.

I’m experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! ➖ What To Expect From Pet Sitting ➖ To ensure the best care for your pet, I ask that owners provide all necessary supplies and information before the booking. This helps keep your pet comfortable and allows me to stick as closely as possible to their routine. Meet & Greet: Before the first pet-sitting visit, I always schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet. This allows us to go over care instructions, discuss expectations, and make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. It’s also a great time to ask any questions!
