Pet 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!

About: I grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals and I’ve never not had a dog! I currently have a 6 year old golden doodle named Ruby that is my pride and joy. I work part time as a nurse, but when I’m not at work I’m hanging out with ruby- which is a lot more enjoyable. Let me hang out with your doggos too! i have a yard, large dog crates if needed, doggie swimming pool, and lots of furniture for the four legged friends to sit on! I work 1-2 days a week and have full availability the other days. Unfortunately, these days change every week, but I usually have my schedule for a month in advance. I live in a house on a couple acres that is surrounded by trees, so there are lots of little critters to look at from the front porch! my dog and i spend a lot of time outdoors, whether we are going to the beach or on walks.

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 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.
