About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid. I love all pets, no matter the shape or size and I’m very passionate about their happiness, well-being and safety! I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University, working to get my doctorate and occupational therapy! I only have classes in the morning, before or after class, I usually work out and study. With just moving here in May, I love exploring and walking around new places with my dog who loves the beach just as much as I do! I take pet safety very seriously and always want to ensure the highest level of care for not only my dog, but your pets as well. For my dog, we usually do leashed walks around the grounds of my apartment or we go to the dog park! With the Florida heat, I typically carry water and treats to ensure my pet doesn’t get overhead! I am happy to do leashed walks or hang out with them in fenced in parks or backyards!

From the moment I reached out to her, Allana demonstrated professionalism and genuine care for my pet. The constant communication and updates she provided while I was away allowed me to relax, knowing my furry friend was in capable hands. Allana's warm demeanor and attention to detail ensured that my pet received not only the essentials but also plenty of love and attention. Upon returning, I found my pet happy and healthy, a testament to Allana's responsible care. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver.”


Nhi B.Star Sitter
“I was in a bind and going to be admitted into the hospital and needed to find someone to watch my miniature Poodle and didn’t know Honey at the time and put my full trust in her taking care of my baby. She was so great with caring for him and always updated me and that really put me at ease. I have had her take Maverick a few other times after that when I needed to have him taken care of when I had to leave town and couldn’t take him along. She always interacted with Maverick like he was her own loving pet. I would highly recommend anyone needing their dog taken care of and having Honey take them on. It’s good to note that I don’t trust many people or kennels for my taking my dog and that should tell you a lot about Honey.”
