House Sitting Forest Trails

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.

“Chrissy did a great job watching Olive! Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we could tell Olive was loved and had the best time with Chrissy’s family. We got lots of adorable pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away — no worries at all. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Chrissy again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born. I've always loved to spend time with them and have been responsible of feeding, cleaning, and grooming them ever since I can remember. I have a full-time job right now, but was looking to spend my free time doing something I enjoy and I cound imagine any time better spent than with the friendliest creatures I can think of: dogs. I keep my dogs in my house all the time so they are always surrounded by us and are constantly being cared for and entertained.

“As always Anna does an amazing job. Our 3 fur babies love when Anna comes to play with them. She even went out of her way to leave a sweet notes and treats for our pups for when we got home. Anna goes above and beyond as always and always communicates and sends you pictures and updates on the pups. We are so thankful to have found her.”

“Johana did a wonderful job with out three dogs. She make sure Jack got his medicine on time and snuggle with them as they like it. She provided us with photo updates and we found a small Polaroid picture of the dogs and a nice thank you note from her when we got home. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. We will definitely use your services again.”

“Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.”

“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”

Megan M.

“Mary was great! She accepted to look after our puppy with such short notice. I think Chai really enjoyed her company and we will definitely rebook!”

“Olivia and Sophia loved their time with Sara. They were happy when I returned; however, I am confident they would have been equally as happy after a week or more.”

“Aniyah did a great job house sitting our Cane Corso and ChiPin. She kept us updated with pics and took excellent care of our fur babies! She Fed, watered, and administered meds to each. She kept them occupied and they really enjoyed spending time with her. As a bonus, the house was immaculate! I strongly recommend Aniyah for house sitting and look forward to having her on a regular basis.”

About: I love dogs and I naturally connect with them. I can read their mood and determine when they want to play, rest or walk. I have had 2 dogs in the past, a German Shepherd for 10 years and a Beagle for 2 years. They were amazing dogs. I currently work in weekdays until 3PM. I do not work on weekends. I spend most of my time at home after work and this will allow me look after the dog always. I have a two story house with a fence patio and plenty of room. I have blanket to cover my furniture for the dog to relax on.

“Did very well with the pups and was all around great dog sitter”

Arron J.

“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”

Ashley S.

“Carrie was an absolute blessing caring for us and our 5 dogs while were were out of the country for our wedding. She is so organized, caring, and attentive to all our pets taking away all the stress of leaving our fur-babies for more than a week. She played with each of them, walked them, took them to the river to swim, snuggled the puppies, bathed them, and even cleaned the house to make it nice for us when we arrived home. She went over and beyond in every way which showed her dedication and love for animals. We will definitely use her many more times in the future and I highly recommend her to all families looking for honest, loyal care for their pets.”

About: i’ve always had pets growing up, cats, dogs, fish, bunny’s hamsters, etc. now i am petless and would love to give your pet attention and lovings I work full time and am available before work, before 8am and after 5pm Monday through Friday. i am available all day on the weekends I live in an apartment but i am happy to provide services at your home, in an environment your pet is familiar and comfortable in!

About: Hello! Im a local native to Jacksonville, and i genuinely love dogs and cats. Having two of my own, I really know how to take care of them and go above and beyond to ensure my furbabies are happy, therefore, I’d do the same for you! I have an Australian shepherd and husky, and take pride in engaging in their crazy ambitions, having trained them since they were babies. I’m working on my own business and need some extra cash flow. Therefore, I’m very available during the day, I usually walk my dogs in the morning and workout. So anytime after 12pm works really well for dog walking. As for dog sitting/home sitting, my job is remote so I can do work from home! Typically, my home is fenced, therefore, I usually just let my dogs roam free in the back while I watch. We play fetch and doing training back there. But for clients with no fence, I have no problem walking dogs to go potty. As far as inside, I pay close attention to things. If the room is too quiet or gets to rough, I’m always on top of things. And if my dogs are acting weird, I ensure I’m on top of that before the problem gets worse.

About: I pay a lot of attention to detail, especially in routine, and what to give a person for his or hers specific needs! Also want as much information as possible to make sure your fur baby is comfortable! I’ve worked with puppies/kittens all the way up to senior animals! I do not work full work days (Only about six hours a day and only on the weekdays) I’m home every night and all weekend. My Home is set up as pet safe for any fur baby! I have transportation means to transport any fur baby, for dogs if you sign up for a longer walk I can make a trip to the dog park if you would like! (no additional cost and no restrictions) I have a camera to check up on all fur babies and I’m able to go home if anything is needed! I have my own dog, she is crate trained and leash trained (I have a spare room (basically a pet fun room) in my house so if it’s necessary any animals can be kept separate). I am in an apartment but I always make some car trips to the dog park about 4/5 days a week (and if requested for no additional cost) I also go on constant walks around the neighborhood every 3ish hours (besides when I work/sleep)

About: I have a wide spread of experience working with animals. From loving on my own animals, family and friends animals, to loving and training multiple animals that i have worked side by side with. Animals have always had a soft place in my heart. Your animals will be treated like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available most of the time! Your pets will have lots of playtime, outdoor time, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay, so they feel comfortable, active, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 I provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet in my care! I have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and get their energy out. I love spending time playing fetch, giving attention, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Fresh water is always available, and I keep a close eye on pets to ensure they stay happy, safe, and active throughout the day. 🐾

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!

About: I’ve taken care of any animal you can think of. I’ve personally had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses all my life. I’ve house sat over 10 animals at once for over a week at a clients farm. I am very capable and make sure your fur babies feel loved while you’re away! I am currently looking for a job in my career field but have always had a passion for animals. I currently have open availability to love your pets! I have Two friendly dogs of my own and two cats that keep to themselves. I have a large crate and a smaller size adjustable crate for potty training! For care in your home I am very flexible and will use whatever is available for their care. I don’t mind dogs in my car so if you’d like me to take them to a dog park- I can!
