House Sitting Fernandina Beach

About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals since I was a child. We have always had multiple dogs and/or cats in our home and I’ve always had a special connection with all of them. I work from home 3 weeks out of the month and have 3 days off a week where I am totally free from any other obligations so I am readily available at a moments notice for all types of pet care services. My pets at home are always cared for and loved. They are a part of our family and are treated as such. We have a dog bed for every room in our house but our cats run the show! They are well fed and we also provide healthy, raw snacks for them. Our care and respect for your animals and your home will be exactly the same as if it were our own.

“Adam has watched our two pups several times and always does such an awesome job! They are very comfortable with him and we know he treats them like his own. He’s incredibly reliable and great at communicating. Love the updates and pix he sends us! We are so glad we met him!”

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Mona! She was on time, attentive, and professional, and she made us feel completely comfortable knowing our fur babies, Ziggy and Rooster, were in such good hands. Mona kept us updated throughout her time with them, which we really appreciated. The best part is that Ziggy and Rooster absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for our dogs, and we would highly recommend Mona to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”

“This was the first time Lindsay stayed over and watched our boys. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures especially with our older Bo being afraid of the storms. I had piece of mind that he was well taken care of. Lindsay kept our house very clean. We have her booked for several future visits. Thanks you very much for taking care of our Bobo and Oliver!! We appreciate you!!”

About: Hi! I’m a 20-year-old lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all kinds. I’ve grown up around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always treated them like family. Last year, I had the opportunity to work at Doggy daycare for seven months, where I gained professional experience caring for dogs in a daycare environment. I loved getting to know each dog’s personality, keeping them safe and happy, and making sure they received plenty of attention and care. I also have a 6-year-old Pit/Lab mix of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Growing up, I would also help neighbors with dog sitting, walking, bathing, and general pet care. I’m excited to continue growing my experience while doing something I genuinely love. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time as a house cleaner, but my schedule is flexible and I’m able to work my job around my Rover availability. I’m very excited to grow my experience caring for dogs and cats and would love to make as much availability as possible for your fur babies! I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to provide dependable, loving care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m here to help! 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! Since I’m unable to have dogs in my current household, I offer pet sitting in your home where your dog can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I take safety seriously during walks and always stay attentive to my surroundings. I also carry appropriate safety and protective items with me in case of unexpected situations while we’re out. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure your dog receives plenty of care, attention, and love. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your fur baby is in good hands while you’re away. 🐾❤️

“Graceann was wonderful. We were so thankful Graceann was able to stay with our puppy at our house during my husbands surgery. Our puppy loved having her and Graceann kept us updated with lots of photos which kept us happy. We will definitely use Graceann again. Loved her and so did Olive.”

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including multi-pet households where cats and dogs lived together successfully. I understand the different needs of each species and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions precisely. My focus is always on creating a calm, consistent environment so every pet feels safe and owners can leave with complete peace of mind. I work a remote Medicare sales job that gives me flexible hours and the ability to set my own schedule. This means I can easily plan pet care visits, drop ins, or overnight stays around my work without conflicts. I treat every pet with complete focus and responsibility. I follow all feeding and medication instructions exactly, keep litter areas clean and odor free, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and maintain a calm, consistent routine that prioritizes the animal’s safety and comfort at all times.

About: I've taken care of a family dog my whole life. I am always gentle and kind to dogs. I try to be patient with them always. I'm looking to spend as much time as I can with pets! Taking care of animals is a big passion of mine. I always treat them like my own family. I treat pets gently and kindly. I always put them first place and I'm sure to stay attentive to their needs. I'm looking forward to becoming a professional.

About: The reason I thought about being a pet sitter is I have been doing it for free for many years and why not sit for other people. I would like to take advantage of not being a full time pet owner and being a remote worker. This way I can focus on your family pets with no distractions and have an adventure at the same time. I am kind of new to Rover but have been a TrustedHousesitters and had 7-5 star reviews. I am in telephone sales, so can work on my own schedule. I am available to take care of your animal in your home, walk in the morning, and evening, feedings, and playtime. I do everything I can to make your pet feel comfortable and calm. I like to take them for a walk in the morning, late afternoon, and evening but will accommodate extra walks if needed, especially puppies. I want them to be happy and do what I can to do this.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with both horses and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two Pit Lab mixes of my own who are truly my children! I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog when needed. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat every animal I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. Living at Jax Beach, I’m always out walking my own dogs and would love to bring your pup along for some fresh air and exercise! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.
