“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’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.

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: 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.

“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.

“Amazing fur baby sitter! She went above and beyond to make my kitty cats feel better about me being away for so long with cleaning their messes and having quality playtime. Even one that hides came out to play.”

About: Hi there! I have been a professional pet sitter since 2015 and have grown up with animals of all kinds since I was a young kid. I graduated from UNF with my Bachelors of Science in Coastal Enviornmental Science and love all types of animals. I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. Currently, I offer housesitting in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Jacksonville. I will also travel to other locations if needed. I am only offering dog sitting at my home in Jacksonville, in the Murray Hill neighborhood. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, big or small I love them all. I have vast experience with disabled and older dogs, including administering medication. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs. I send picture updates daily so you can have peace of mind that your dog is being well taken care of. I would love to watch over your four-legged family! I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. I have a fully fenced in yard and always supervise any time spent outside. I always keep an eye on where the pets are at and make sure everyone is getting along. I give special attention during feeding time to ensure no aggression is displayed.

About: Hi, I’m Madison and I’m 24 years old. I’ve had pets my entire life, so I’m used to potty breaks, dog walking, feisty kitties, playing with pets, cleaning up after them, keeping them entertained, and everything else to do with the everyday tasks of caring for and dealing with pets. I’m a hard worker, have a very flexible schedule, and love all types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I’m currently taking a veterinary assistant course at college, and aim to start a career working with animals. There have been multiple times I’ve found dogs roaming in my neighborhood and helped return them to their owner. I’ve even helped a stray kitten find a good home! I’m very passionate about animals and will show yours all the love, attention, and care it deserves. Me and my boyfriend have one dog that we take care of as if he was our own child, so my daily pet care routine is pretty generous. Of course our dog is fed twice a day, walked daily, and given a lot of love. And aside from my boyfriend, I have two other roommates who also have dogs, so there’s always some puppy playtime happening If I were to care for another dog in my home, I’d definitely be paying attention to the dog’s behavior to see how comfortable he is in the new environment, and with meeting the dogs in my house. If he were not comfortable, or if the dogs were to not get along, I’d of course separate them. I’d most likely hang out with the dog in our spare bedroom to make him more comfortable. On the other hand, if I were to care for a dog in his home, I’d try to follow his every day routine as best as I could to make him as comfortable and happy as possible

“My cats seem to be well taken care of while I was away, thank you for loving on them!”

Debbie A.

“So accommodating and thorough. Made sure I knew my kitties were getting great care. Goes above abs beyond for you. So grateful we got Katherine to care for our kitties.”

Cassie M.

“We used Taylor to help take care of our dog, Missy, while we were on vacation last week. She's really awesome and we are happy with her & the way she takes care of Missy. She is great in sending us pictures and updates about Missy everyday and that surely gives us a lot of peace while we are away from home knowing that our dog is in good hands. I highly reccomend Taylor :)”
