“Jennifer was great! She did amazing with our dogs and cat. I would definitely use her services again in the future. Couldn't be happier with her!”
“Highly recommend. We booked Brianna to watch our babies while we were away for a day trip. Our people-selective Boxer took to her right away and she wasn't intimidated by our constant-needs 4 month old puppy. She provided regular updates and pics via text and we came back home to happy pups and a super clean house. She had even taken the trash out and brought our Amazon packages inside. This was our first time booking but it won't be our last. 🐶”
“Victoria was so accomodating! We needed a sitter last minute for our pup, and she made the time to come over for a quick meet and greet too. Victoria let herself in, took care of our girl, brought her to brewhound, then locked back up. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Molly was simply the best dog sitter we have ever had. She was caring and kind to our puppy, and even sent pictures and updates to me. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Mackenna did an amazing job with Bux and Bru! She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Both pups were happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
About: New to Jacksonville. I’ve owned plenty of pets growing up, experienced with dogs large and small. Very patient with animals in general. I own a French Bulldog, his name is Billy. He is very energetic, and gets along with everyone. I own a food business and bartend part-time, so my schedule is flexible. My mom will also be home around the clock, for extra supervision. There’s plenty to do around my neighborhood. Billy will also be there to keep them company whenever they want, and will respect when they just want to chill.
About: I have a variety of experiences with animal care; from being responsible for my childhood dog to taking care of my neighbors cat. I’ve worked with puppies to seniors (still puppies at heart) and all different breeds. Even the giant horse breed (Great Dane) so no animal is off limits for me! I am trying to pick up more shifts throughout my schedule. I will mostly be available in the morning and after work, but will be adding more remote days to my schedule to increase flexibility! I treat every animal as if they are apart of my family. I will adhere all rules from the owners to seamless blend into their current environment, as I think consistency is a huge factor (can’t mess with the routine).
“Awesome, awesome people! They came last minute for me in an emergency and I could not be more grateful! I got lots of awesome pictures and updates on my furbaby. My baby loved Evan so much! I will absolutely love to have this couple again! I am so so grateful to have had such a loving person take care of my baby.”
“Katherine was amazing!! She was great with sending updates and keeping us in the loop with our babies! Can not recommend enough!! Thank you Katherine!! ☺️”
“We were gone for nearly three weeks and came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Ligia is great with dogs and respectful of your property. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Amazing care and my cat loves her!! First sleepover for a week while I was gone and she was super efficient and went the extra mile taking care of Kaydo. I Highly recommend Ashley.”
“Juliana and Colin were great! I would definitely ask them to dog sit again. Juliana was very communicative and sent me pictures of our pups the entire time. We have 2 huskies and our boy Hardy can be a little high maintenance and gets very stressed when we leave. They both did great with Juliana and Colin who stayed the night with them. They left the house exactly how they found it and were dependable and on time.”
About: I have loved dogs my entire life, I have taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I opened my own business Mare’s pup concierge service. I was already walking and house sitting for dogs for some select families. After seeing the stress that occurs with a family when a pet gets sick. I decided to further my services and open them up to more people as I saw how needed they were. I’m an outdoors person I love walking dogs, taking them to the park or the beach. I can handle puppies that are full of energy and I also work with older dogs that take a slower pace and just like to take in the smells and just get some sun. I also know how hot it is so some dogs I take out for a few minutes to use the bathroom but will gladly play with toys inside with them. I’m completely flexible. I work with an elderly dog that has pancreatitis. I manage her medications 6 days a week and feed her 4 or 5 nights a week when the client needs help. I feed her prescription food that the vet prescribed and make sure she doesn’t have any flare ups. I also take some of my clients dogs to the vet for their shots, if theirs an issue I’m still happy to take the dog but want the parent to speak to the vet which has never been an issue with I phone them in, I always take notes in case the client is busy. It’s my full time job as I said before I worked with a few select families but have decided to start taking on more clients. As I truly love my job. I’m a licensed massage therapist, I don’t practice on humans anymore but I love relaxing with your dogs and giving them light massages and watch their face to see how much they enjoy it. I believe in a lot of communication with the pets parents at the beginning so I can best take care of your pet. I’m always cautious walking dogs when people approach with other dogs unless I’m told in advance by the parents that this is a dog my pet gets along with. I treat every dog like it’s my own. I do not have a dog right now for the first time in a very long time but it’s allowed me to open up my schedule and start this business which allows me to make so many new dogs.
“I have 4 dogs with age range from 1 to 14. Gabbi watched my zoo overnight at my house and did a great job. She communicated with me and sent pictures. When she came over for a meet and greet, my babies seem to really like her. We have another weekend already booked with her. My dogs have to take medicine and she gave it to them no problem. I would recommend Gabbi.”
“Natalie was an excellent sitter. She managed our dog’s anxiety with cool compassion. I really appreciate her honesty with the difficult situation. I recommend her to deal with a pup that needs medication.”

“Amy was amazing!!! We were traveling internationally for 10 days and leaving our two fur babies. We couldn’t have found anyone more perfect for taking care of them and our house while we were gone. She kept in constant communication and every picture and video showed how much the dogs loved her and how happy they were while we were away. She kept the house immaculate and did nice touches for our return - including a hand written note with pictures of the babies! Will definitely reach out to have her stay again!!!”
About: Hello, my name is Q. My husband Eric and I have taken care of many friends and neighbor’s dogs from puppies to seniors. We have a Corgi named Stitch (4 years old) and had a Maltese named Banana (past away on3/13/23) and would love to meet new friends to spend their staycation with us! My husband Eric works from home and I currently am a stay at home mom so we are available to let the dogs out for potty breaks and long walks throughout the day. We live in a safe and quiet gated community and have a fenced backyard to keep your fur babies protected. We let our dogs out in the backyard at least 3-4x a day with long walks in the early mornings and late afternoons to avoid overheating our pets. We do board multiple dogs in our house and we do make sure all dogs will get along before the booking. We would separate dogs in different areas of the home if they do have aggression towards another.
“Beth was communicative and active with our pup Juju while we were gone. Typically I worry nonstop no matter who is with him but found myself simply enjoying our trip! Thanks to Beth for making this a zero stress experience.”

Gabrielle B.
“Gabby loves my GSD, Drako, as her own. She always goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and safe which gives me peace of mind whenever I have to travel. Drako is large and extremely needy (he likes to be hand-fed raspberries) and Gabby isn’t deterred by the size of his body or personality. She’s been the cool dog auntie for 5 years, ever since he was a puppy. No matter breed, size, or age, give Gabby a call.”

Maryann W.
“Mare has literally become a part of our family the love that she gives for my two dogs is absolutely amazing. After going through a separation my older dog was diagnosed with thyroid cancer which caused them to remove her thyroid, then 6 months of chemo. Mare walks the dogs every morning for me and makes sure that my dog is given her medication every morning right on time so I don’t have to worry anymore about her am medications. Unfortunately that same dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis. But she once again bounced back and mare took her to the vet when I couldn’t and handled everything and continues her on her meds and now her prescription food. Anytime I go out of town I no longer even feel guilt because I know how great of a time there having with mare.”
