About: I’m a fully insured sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaly. I connect especially well with anxious pets and have practice with senior care and medication administration. My approach is calm, patient, and focused on making every pet feel safe, understood, and loved. While I’m in my final semester of grad school (from January-May 2026): • I’m unavailable on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 10:00 AM–1:30 PM • Outside of those hours, I’m available every day from 7:00 AM–9:00 PM If you’d like to talk through scheduling or create a routine that works best for your pet, I’m always happy to chat! 🐾 Before Booking 🐾 ✨ A meet & greet is required for all requests so your pet can get comfortable with me—either in your home or mine. ✨ Drop-Ins & Walks: I always do my best to keep drop-in times consistent, though a little flexibility is sometimes needed and greatly appreciated. ✨ Housesitting: Pets must be comfortable being left alone for 4–6 hours at a time. While I spend the majority of my time in your home and maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible, I may step out for class, drop-ins, walks, or errands. If your dog requires constant care or cannot be left alone for that length of time, we can chat about extended visits or alternative services that may be a better fit. ✨ Boarding: Pups must be crate-trained or comfortable being left alone for 4-6 hours. If that’s not the best fit for your dog, drop-ins or overnights in your home may be a better option to help minimize anxiety while you’re away. ✨ Extended Visits: If I’m home for the day—or if your pet needs extended care in your home (>1 hour) —I also offer "daycations" in my home or in the client’s home: • Half-day: 2–5 hours • Full-day: 6-8 hours If you’re unsure what service to book, just send me a message and we’ll figure out the best fit together! 💕 Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, your pet will always feel safe, supported, and right at home.

About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.

“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

“Emma was great. Consistent communication and very accommodating. I was running a bit behind with pick up and she’s was quick to reassure me. I can tell Ellie had a blast with her and their dog Patrick. Highly recommend her care.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!

“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”

About: Hi, I’m Alivia! I’m a full-time pet caregiver, proud Cocker Spaniel owner, and dedicated sitter based in Jacksonville. I’m currently accepting new clients! Pet care isn’t something I do on the side, it’s my full-time passion and commitment. Because of that, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to accommodate just about anything! Early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, last-minute needs, and custom routines. My priority is always to provide reliable, consistent, and loving care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to connect and hopefully become your pet’s new favorite person! I’m home full-time with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide care throughout the day and evening. Reliability and consistency are important to me, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention they need, right when they need it. I’m always happy to chat through your schedule and find an arrangement that works best for you and your pet! Please Read Before Requesting Boarding 🐾 If you’re interested in boarding your dog with me, I’d love to get to know them first! 🐶💛 We’ll start with a complimentary meet & greet. Depending on your dog’s personality, age, or needs, I may also want to visit your home first to see how they behave in their own environment before introducing them to mine. This helps ensure your pup feels comfortable with me, my space, and my own dog before their stay. 🏡✨ For boarding, I only accept dogs who are crate-trained and comfortable sleeping in their crate at night. 💤 Your pup will enjoy at least three walks each day alongside my dog. While I’m home most of the day, I do step out for drop-in visits and walks. During those times, your dog will rest safely in their crate, and when I’m home they’ll be free to relax and play around the house. 🐕🧸 For Doggy Daycare 🐾 If I don’t have any drop-in visits or walks booked and I’m planning to be home for the day, I’d love to host your pup for daycare! I do require a meet & greet beforehand, and I’ll keep my calendar updated with any open days. I’m always happy to look over my schedule and see if I can accommodate your pup! If this sounds like a good fit, send a request and we’ll go over the details together! 🐶 I always follow your instructions closely, avoid other dogs on walks unless you say otherwise, and will keep you updated if anything ever seems off with your furry friend.

About: I worked as a Veterinary technician from 2013-2018. Following this, I worked as a Medical Laboratory Technician at a Veterinary Laboratory from 2018-2022. I currently work remotely for the same Veterinary Laboratory Company. I have a ton of knowledge and experience with Animals! I am a full-time employee working remotely, giving me time to spend with your fur babies! I also do not have any pets at home myself. I always make sure to respect pets and pet owners based on their comfort levels and needs. I own my home with a fenced in back yard allowing time for play and potty breaks. I have years of experienced in pet care so I can quickly pickup on pets’ social ques and behaviors. During walks I am equipped to properly leashed or harness pets during walks. If needed I am familiar with lifesaving skills in case of emergencies and can administer medications if necessary.

About: Enthusiastic and outgoing individual who strives to provide the best experience a pet can have. I currently have two dogs, a 5 year old silver labrador and a 3 year old Australian Kelpie. These dogs are my life! As an avid care taker for my babies, I can only provide the best for other’s pets- knowing that they are in fact the most precious babies. I love teaching pets new skills, my lab has learned several tricks within her first few weeks of being home with me. I believe health is just as vital to pets as it is to humans. A healthy diet, exercise, and treats when needed. We tend to give ourselves the best, why not our pets too? I am working full- time from home. I can host dogs during the work day, and after work. During the weekends I am free all day for any services. I have a large fenced yard. I always attend to my dogs needs when they signal to go outside. We go on daily walks of over 2 miles.

“Chrissy and fam were great. Ellie was quick to warm up and by the second day, she was already pawing at their front door to go inside. Chrissy made sure I was up to date on her day and she was excellent at communication. Highly recommend and definitely will return once the occasion arises.”

About: I've had pets my entire life of a variety of breeds Shih tzu/Maltese mix, 3 Golden retrievers, a Border collie/Australian shepherd mix and two border collies! I've also cared for dogs of friends and family ranging from Golden doodles, Saint Bernard (who is actually deaf!), German short haired pointer's and several other mixes, so I feel confident in handling several sizes and breeds. I've personally had two dogs who were taken from cancer so I unfortunately have extensive experience in administering a range of medication and caring just for ill pets in general (especially pertaining to chemo). I have a deep passion and love for animals, dogs specifically. I treat every dog with the same love and respect as I would my own. I have personal experience with having to trust sitters with my own furbabies and understand the stress and anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. As a bonus, I'm a full time work from home wedding and portrait photographer so I might snap a few high quality photos of your pet if I have time, on the house of course! : ) I currently make my own hours as I am a full time wedding and portrait photographer, which allows me to be available last minute. My only restriction with work is that I am oftentimes unavailable on weekends, especially in the evenings. Otherwise I have availability throughout the day M-F First and foremost, I know inviting a stranger into your home is intimidating. Add in trusting a stranger with your fur child, I've been in your position! I pride myself in being reliable, trustworthy, respectful and caring, and put a lot of pressure on myself to go above and beyond for anyone I'm serving. My job has placed me in the hospitality and service industry for the past 10 years so I like to have that reflect in all aspects of my work, pet sitting is no exception. I plan to thoroughly review any information you have to share about your pet and their environment and ask any questions to gain any clarity about their care. I am more than willing to give your pet the exercise they need, whether indoors or outdoors, or just give them my full attention, kisses, cuddles and scratches if that's what they prefer! We can play, cuddle, settle into meal time, brush, explore your backyard or neighborhood, whatever you prefer, I am willing to accommodate! If you have any questions or requests, please don't hesitate to ask. Above all, thank you for trusting me with your babies!!!

“Thank you, Marisa! Stella is so happy and tired after daycare with you. I’m sure she loved all the attention from your boys too?”

Audrey B.

“Mazie was happy to arrive at Stephanie’s every day we took her. She made it very clear to us that she enjoyed her days there. I will definitely rebook with her anytime we need daycare or boarding in the Jacksonville area. Stephanie was super accommodating with our crazy drop off and pickup schedule. I do wish I had received a few photos but I know that is difficult sometimes.”
