Cat Sitting Fernandina Beach

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

“Carrie was very communicative about her time spent with our sweet Hazel while we were out of town. Love the pictures she sent too. Highly recommended!”

“Nicole was polite, friendly, and professional. She inquired about the services we were looking for since it was our first time using Rover. We told here what we needed and she confirmed that she would be able to those tasks and even ones we had not considered. She had an immediate rapport with our pets and it showed when she provided reports about her visits. We give Nicole our highest recommendation.”

About: I absolutely love animals and have been taking care of pets since i was about 10 years old! I have experience with all types of dogs, from seniors to young puppies through working with rescues and I have had over 10 foster dogs who I have helped to find homes. I have also aided in training for rescue dogs of all different backgrounds, including issues with separation, anxiety, crate, potty, and obedience training. Outside of the rescue I also have regular pet sitting clients whose pups I have watched for over 5 years and absolutely love! I also have volunteered with Cats Angels in Fernandina Beach and have experience fostering litters of kittens and stray cats. I am back on Amelia Island for the summer but during the school year I attend Florida State University where I am actively involved in the dog rescue Champ’s Chance and it has taught me so much about working with all types and personalities of pups! I am currently working part time and my only set hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8am to 12pm, outside of those hours my time is free to be spent with your pets! I am very active and love to go for walks or runs if that is something your pup would like to join me in (usually in the early morning or evenings to avoid that Florida heat!). I have reliable transportation and love to spend time petting, playing, and just lounging around with any animal. I am able to care for pets in their home however needed! I have experience with a variety of medical needs and activity levels, and can do frequent visits, park outings, or stay in your home if that’s what you and your pet are most comfortable with.

About: Hi I’m Makenna, a full-time pet caregiver. I have dedicated over 15 years to caring for both dogs and cats ensuring they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I have a natural intuition for animal behavior and take pride in being highly observant of their needs. I am a proud owner of two 100 pound great Pyrenees and several cats myself so I am very used to “big dog” energy and the unique dynamics of a multi pet household. Whether your pet is a high energy puppy, a curious kitten or a gentle senior requiring extra patience, I am fully comfortable with all life stages. From tiny Chihuahua’s to giant breeds, I understand the different handling and Care requirements for various sizes. I am excited to meet you and your fur family! I am full time doggy caregiver. I’m very flexible with my schedule as well as yours. I am here to help. Im a local here on the island of Fernandina beach Fl I have great fenced in backyard. Walking distance from the beach and downtown as well as great walking right here in my neighborhood. Your pets safety and security is most important to me.

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.

“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!”
