Laura was great with our cat, pumpkin. She gave great updates, pictures, and completed all tasks we asked of her (clean box, wet food, dry food, water bowl).

Mary was super helpful with my dog Phoenix!! She made sure to spend time with her and play. I’m sure Phoenix felt very loved and excited to see her when she visited. Thank you, Mary!

If you have cats (and I'm sure it applies to dogs), I don't know that you'll find a better pet sitter than Allison. I have had multiple cat sitters over the years and no one comes close. Allison came by beforehand and took nearly an hour just to get to know the cats and their habits, likes, dislikes, routine, etc. Allison was incredibly communicative before, during, and after her visits. She sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop on what was going on. She is one of the few sitters that has sent me pictures of the cats not just hiding or under the bed. She actually got the cats to come out and sit with her - which is something I don't think a lot of other cat sitters even bother to do. It was wonderful being able to travel without worrying about the cats and knowing they were in good hands. I cannot recommend Allison enough. She's a great choice for pet parents and pets. 20/10 and would urge people to use her not just for their own sanity, but for their cats.

Kristin is so wonderful with our kitty. We really appreciate her extra efforts. She handled our kitty’s medicine schedule like a champ! And, she helped us discover that he likes to watch Animal Planet when we are away. We will definitely work with Kristin again in the future😎

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for them like family. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to quickly build trust with pets of all personalities. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for senior pets with medication needs, and creating a calm environment for anxious animals. Whether it's a puppy who needs structure and training or an older dog who needs gentle care, I adapt my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. You can count on me to provide consistent, loving, and dependable care every time. I’m currently doing pet care part time while I have a job as an insurance agent, but I use lunch breaks to let dogs out so they aren’t alone longer than 4 hours. When I am with your pet, I give your pets my full attention and provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week when I’m not at work and full time on the weekends! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality so I can create a calm, secure environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely, keeping things clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their usual schedule and provide lots of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

This is the second time Francesca has watched my cats and she is great with them! She provided great updates and pictures showing her giving them affection. One of my cats is a bit shy around strangers but she came and hung out with Francesca :-). I also noticed the effort she put into tidying up the mess they sometimes make and it was so appreciated!

Lexi was great -- if she had any questions, she contacted us promptly, and she was very good about sending photos and videos to let us know how the kitties were doing.... even our ridiculously-shy kitty snuggled up to her while she was here. :-) Lexi was gracious enough to wait a couple of extra hours in the house until we got home from our trip -- this made things super-easy on us, and we are grateful for that. We just retired, and are planning to do some traveling in 2026; we definitely plan to hire Lexi to stay here during our future trips.

About: I have been caring for dogs for about 16 years now. I got my first dog, Sammy, in 2009 and I got my second dog, Penny, in 2017. My dogs were my best friends growing up. They both sadly passed away in 2023 and I miss them everyday. I have pet sat for multiple people around our community for both dogs and cats. I have done several volunteer experiences throughout the years with animals, including equine therapy and fostering a dog in college. During my breaks home from college, I worked in boarding at a local veterinary clinic. I gained valuable experience in grooming and administering medications with pets of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I recently moved home from college after graduating in May and just started graduate school at University of North Florida. I have classes throughout the day on Mondays and Wednesdays (I am available those days in the morning before 11 AM and at night after 7 PM). During the rest of the week, I am home and currently looking for more ways to spend my time when I am not doing school-related activities, homework, or volunteering. I am currently flexible to any pet care needs throughout the week and would be happy to help! For boarding, I am currently living at home with family in JCP. We have a spacious fenced in yard. There is no smokers, children, or other pets in the house. For drop ins, I have a car to get to any place needed. Safety is absolutely my number one priority for your pets. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
