Dog Sitting Fruit Cove

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover with a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I’m especially experienced with long-term, in-home stays, and I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or perfectly content being a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶 I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with extra care needs, including administering oral medications and routine injections, preparing and following special diets, and keeping up with individual care routines. I understand that older dogs may need a little more patience, a slower pace, extra comfort, or simply someone who pays close attention to the details. I’m happy to follow your veterinarian-approved care instructions and your established routine. I also have personal experience with rambunctious Lab puppies, so I’m comfortable with the extra energy, enthusiasm, and occasional chaos that comes with young dogs! I’ve worked on basic manners, boundaries, consistency, and reinforcing good behavior. If you’d like, I can incorporate basic training and positive reinforcement into walks and daily activities while I’m caring for your dog. When I’m not hanging out with four-legged friends, you’ll usually find me enjoying nature, getting outside, or catching some live music. I love being active and exploring, but I’m equally happy having a quiet evening at home with a furry sidekick. My schedule is fully open, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time and attention rather than squeezing them into a packed schedule. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved — and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you have a high-energy puppy, a senior sweetheart, or a dog who needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they’re used to. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 When you need me, I'm there! My schedule is fully open. I work around your schedule in order to make sure you and your pet are getting the best service possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, medications, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, we had a variety of dog and cat breeds, so I’m comfortable working with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I also have law-enforcement K9 experience from my time with the Las Vegas Deputy Marshals, where I served as a K9 agitator/decoy and participated in controlled training exercises with working dogs and their handlers. That experience gave me additional insight into canine behavior, body language, handling, and the importance of remaining calm and attentive around dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different types of pets and understand that every animal has its own routine and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and needs plenty of activity, prefers a slower pace, or simply wants companionship while you’re away, I’ll follow your instructions and make their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m dependable, active, safety-conscious, and attentive. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I keep my Rover availability updated so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week based on my schedule. I make every effort to maintain your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, bathroom, and medication schedule so their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety is always my first priority. My background includes law enforcement and working with a K9 unit, which gave me experience reading canine behavior, body language, and recognizing situations before they become problems. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs properly leashed and secured, and never take unnecessary risks with unfamiliar animals or environments. In your home, I respect your property and your pet’s established routine. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Bianca was excellent in how she communicated with us about our boys. She’s excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to care for ur fur babies as her own”

Faith N.

“Thank you so much for taking care of our boys! We’ve caught up after returning from our cruise and wanted to give you our heartfelt thanks. Your comments and photos during the week were really comforting.”

About: I have 5 decades of experience with my own pets and sitting for many neighbors and friends pets. I believe everyone has that one pet that has stolen their heart. For me that was Nalah, our Chorkie for over a decade. I’m recently retired and have a lot of availability. This is in addition to having a huge love for animals. They are the best. All my neighborhood cats and dogs come to me when I walk the hood. I have a fenced yard and am on guard when pets are outside. I provide constant supervision inside and out. You can rest assured that with me a safe environment is a priority!

About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.

About: Hi there! I’m a Registered Nurse (I’m a care taker by nature!), and fur mama to an English Golden Retriever and a German Shepherd. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a child and have volunteered at my local animal shelter. I also grew up in Michigan with 3 beagles, and 3 cats! I don’t consider taking care of animals “work” because if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life! There’s no bigger worry than wondering if your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I’m here to help ease that anxiety, sending you lots of photos and updates through the day. I treat each and every pet as they are my own. I’m looking forward to giving all the love and snuggles to your fur family! I work 3 days a week as a Registered Nurse working 12 hour shifts. If you are scheduled to have your dog at my house during any of my working days, my husband will be home all day those days to accommodate your pup! I have a full fenced, very large backyard to keep your pups safe and plenty of area to play. Please see photos attached to profile for reference of yard! I also have a large dog crate to utilize if your dog requires to be crated for nighttime. *** Please note: if you are booking an in-home drop off at my house, I only accept large dog breeds due to my German shepherd only “liking” being around larger dogs.

About: I grew up around big dogs and have always had a love for animals! Most recently, I cared for my 3-year-old Boxer, doing the majority of her training and daily walks. I also have around 5 years of pet-sitting experience for family, friends, and neighbors in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and am cat-friendly, too! As a full-time law student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pup! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 3 PM, Thursdays before noon, and anytime Friday through Sunday. I’m also available for boarding on weekends, so your furry friend can enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I live in a pet-friendly apartment with easy access to plenty of walking paths and dog parks, making it a great environment for your pup to get exercise, fresh air, and playtime! My apartment also has a convenient dog-washing station, which I’m happy to use upon request so your furry friend can return home clean, fresh, and happy. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! 🐾❤️

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals from a very young age. I have experience with all size dogs and cats in every aspect of care. Your furry loved ones will be in phenomenal care with me! I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home. This will allow me to spend the maximum amount of time with your pet! My pets are always cared for in the best and most loving way.

About: I bring a diverse range of experience to my work, having served in non-profit shelters, large corporate general practices, and private emergency care settings. I’ve been in the field for about 10 years, with 5 years as a dedicated animal nurse. I’m fully equipped to provide a wide range of care, including injections, topical and oral medications for both dogs and cats. Additionally, I can provide specialized care like asthma treatments and other simple therapeutic procedures. This blend of shelter, corporate, and emergency work allows me to tailor care to each animal’s unique needs with confidence and compassion. Just so you know, I typically work most days from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., but I’m always happy to accommodate after-hours requests. I can easily handle early morning drop ins, even before 6 a.m., for both cats and dogs. Just let me know what you need, and we can make it work! I prioritize a safe and trusting environment for all the animals in my care, letting each pet set the pace whether they’re outgoing and social or more anxious and reserved. I understand that it takes time for them to adjust, and based on their comfort level, I carefully adapt. My goal is to build a cohesive, healthy relationship with each of my clients, ensuring they get exactly what they need without stress.

About: I am a registered nurse but my passion for providing love and care extends past humans. I have cared for animals ever since I can remember. Both domestic and exotic, from cats and dogs to snakes, ferrets, birds and other creatures rehabilitating or simply fostering. In my profession, I work with different kinds of people with all types of medical backgrounds. It is my desire to provide others with companionship and give people back some independence our four legged friends can help us achieve, I’m currently studying to be certified as a service dog trainer. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I understand the importance of trust, patience, and love when it comes to caring for your furry family members.

My husband and I volunteer at local shelters to help train and support dogs on their adoption journey. I decided I want to further my dog training skills specializing in service work for people with special needs/disabilities, so I said goodbye to critical care nursing to “embark” on this adventure full time. I am home 90% of the time as most of my clients are board and trains. Animals in my care will be on a schedule customized to your needs and the needs of your furry friend. I will provide fun photos and updates throughout the day. Anything you and your furry friend need to feel comfortable and cared for is my pleasure to provide.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, ducks, turtles, and more. Growing up, I was lucky enough to have many different breeds and personalities in my life, including Pugs, Bulldogs, Labs, Corgis, Persian cats, Maine Coons, and tabbies. I’m the kind of person who will stop on the side of the road to help an animal in need, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me.
