“Day was so good with our senior dog. She stayed with her all day, taking her outside to potty every 1.5 to 2 hours. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day. She was punctual and respectful. I will use Day in the future and recommend her.”

“Cara was very prompt to respond to our inquiry about taking care of our Shih Tzu. She was sweet and kind and stayed in touch with us the whole time. She is such a sweet girl. We would highly recommend her to anyone. It’s hard leaving your 11 year-old child at home but we didn’t worry about him one minute. She stayed in contact with us the whole time. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than it was before she got there. We felt very trusting of her Thank you sweet Cara. Harlee Ray had so much fun with your visit. He hopes that she’ll come back soon to stay with him. He told us he was not bad that he was a good boy. Thank you again for taking care of our precious Precious Angel. So this is a review for her.”

“Rebecca was fabulous! My oldest pup passed away just a couple of days before she was scheduled to take care of them for a few days and she came over to my house the day he passed on her own time to comfort me because she knew I was alone. She really went above and beyond, her caring heart really shined through. I am so very appreciative for all that she did to help get me through this difficult time and know that my other pup was well cared for!”

Pattie S.

“Megan was great. Very easy to work with, excellent communication, and our Bonnie was very happy to host. We would definitely have her house sit again in the future. Thanks again for the short notice too!”

“Briana was phenomenal!!! We entrusted her with our 3 dogs (one of them being diabetic) and 4 cats while we went half way around the world (we live in Georgie, USA and went to the country of Austria). She kept us constantly updated with frequent messages and photos which allowed us to enjoy and focus on our trip and not have to worry about the wellbeing of our fur babies … we highly recommend Briana for further trips.”

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: 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.

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.
