House Sitting in Jacksonville

About: I have been around animals my entire life! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets! I have great experience with puppies but I’m open to learning more about the care of elder pets. I also have experience with multiple breeds, big and small, and understand that each pet requires a different approach. I have a Pomeranian-Dachshund mix named Blue and he is practically my child!! I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone new and how important it is to trust that person. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur-baby, I promise to become that trusted friend! I am currently a student so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always available in the afternoons and on the weekends to care for your pet! If you have any questions about my availability please message me! Depending on your pet and their needs, my care for them can differ. For example, a puppy with lots of energy and little training, I would include lots of play and (if asked) some basic training. If I am caring for an older pet who prefers calm visits, I will relax with them and take the visit slow. Each pet is unique and I will care for them accordingly. The owner’s comfort always comes first so if you have special instructions, that is always a priority.

“Patty was fantastic with our dogs! Our dogs warmed up to her instantly! She was kind enough to come meet us and the dogs before we left for our trip. She was a phenomenal house and dog sitter! We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Lacy is truly amazing!! She is our go to regular sitter for our cat, and we always are extremely pleased with her and how well she cares for our baby, but this most recent time she truly went above and beyond for us. We got stranded in our travels because of the snow storm and she not only was able to stay with her for extra days, but the hvac unit also went out and our house lost heat! The temps dropped dangerously low and she helped us to troubleshoot the system for HOURS! Unfortunately the problem had to do with something outside our control and we needed to find an HVAC technician who could solve it. She stayed with our cat despite the cold and helped the hvac technician gain access to the house, answering questions as they arose, and worked with him until everything was fixed! She also made sure to drop the faucets and do everything she could to keep the house warm. She not only cared for our cat but she also saved our house from freezing pipes! We could not be more thankful for her and the amazing person she is!! People like her are rare and choosing her to care for your pets is truly a blessing! Thank you so much, Lacy!!”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was young, and I am lucky enough to be able to work from home and care for your dogs due to my flexible schedule! I have been dogsitting since 2022 and have enjoyed consistent caretaking of many different pups across the Central Arkansas area, including both smaller to larger dogs as well as younger and senior dogs. I prefer to visit with the family to make sure that their dog is comfortable with me as well as to ensure I know where the essentials are stored, such as foods, medicines, etc. I have had experience as well with administering injectable medicine such as insulin in case your dog is diabetic. I am also happy to chat through any other specific needs and requests for your dog to ensure that they have the best experience under my care. I also have experience with taking care of multiple dogs at once, with three being the most that I have taken care of at one time. As I am a full time professional with a hybrid/remote job, I am able to take care of your pets easily while working. The only thing I need is a Wifi connection and I am good to go to care for your pets! I aim to ensure that your pet feels as comfortable as possible while you are out of town. I request that any specific needs, routines, or other things to keep in mind be written down on a piece of paper or relayed to me so that I am able to care for your pet exactly as you need and prefer. I also love to play with them in the yard, take them on walks, and do anything that makes me feel like a natural extension of their daily routine while you are gone. One more thing: if your pet likes to sleep in your bed, I am comfortable with them being on the bed! Otherwise, I am happy to continue their usual bedtime routine.

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m patient, attentive, and great at picking up on each pet’s unique needs and personality.

“Thomas was amazing! We had a sitter cancel on us last minute right before the holiday. Thomas saved the day & watched our two dogs. Our older dog can be a challenge and he was so sweet & patient with her. Highly recommend!”

“Allison is fantastic! She was great with our dogs and even won the affection of our dog who does not enjoy making new friends. We so appreciated her staying with our dogs on short notice.”

About: Currently a dog owner of 4. One of my babies has seizures so I am experienced with administering meds whether they are liquid, pill form, shot and ones that need to be given on a schedule. A true animal lover. I work full time 8-5. I am able to leave during lunch to let out furry friends or go for a quick walk. I would never leave them home alone more than 4 hours if that’s what is requested. We walk every morning and night as well. At home I work on whatever the client wants. If they aren’t allowed on furniture and such It will stay that way. I want you to come home and have It feel like you never left.

“Lexi did a wonderful job with my lab/boxer Lucy! She was very kind and caring and communicative! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!!”

About: I’ve had pets and animals all my life! Growing up on a farm I’ve seen it all! My wife and I have fostered dogs and pet sat for years!! I work limited hours at my primary job which allows me to focus on taking care of your pets in my spare time. I’m hoping this hobby of pet care takes off and I’m able to fill in some gaps with earnings made from caring for your pets. We currently live in the country and have plenty of room for pets to run. I primary plan on walking pets near where you live or care for pets in owners homes.

“Bridget was wonderful! She really listened to all the quirks of our pups, and accommodated them tremendously. She gave snuggles, played with them, took them on walks, all the fun things while keeping us updated along the way. We’re pretty sure the boys loved her so much, because when we came home, they kept looking for “someone” periodically at the front door. We can genuinely say they had a great time without us home. Thank you, Bridget!”

“Tolanda was great with our babies. Will definitely book her again.”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was 10. I care for all animals even the fur babies that have anxiety away from home. They will be loved and you will have tons of photos I can pet sit during the early mornings or late at nights. Staying at the animals comfort home so they won't have too much anxiety while you're away. I can care for any animals at the comfort of your animals home. Animals prefer their home more than someone else's. Lesser anxiety for them.

“This was the first time we had to leave our dog with someone other than family for an extended period while on vacation and we were nervous leaving him with a stranger, especially since he is an older dog with mild health issues. From the moment we met Linda she put our mind at ease and gave us the feeling she would do everything she could to make sure Leroy would be taken good care of while we were gone. She was very conscientious of trying to maintain his schedule to make sure he was comfortable and provided periodic updates to ease our minds. Linda left our house extremely neat and tidy, which was very much appreciated after a long day of traveling. We would absolutely ask Linda to watch our dog again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 5 years, providing everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight stays. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior dog needing extra TLC, I adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, which means I’m available for pet sitting and in-home visits throughout the day, evenings, and even weekends. This allows me to accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent, attentive care for your dog when you need it most. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my priority! During in-home visits, I make sure your dog gets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or a walk, depending on your dog’s needs. I also provide cuddles, companionship, and any medication if needed. I aim to keep your dog’s routine as normal as possible, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own space.

“Azalea was fantastic. She was very well received by Kobe Ali. I had a very bad experience with Paws Mahal dog daycare and Rover APP was just what I needed to find my God-send Azalea. She stayed at my home and provided daily care for Kobe. She walked him, played with him and showed him love. She was just what I needed and Kobe needed. azalea provided me the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my family for Thanksgiving. She will be booked again and again.”

About: Dogs are the way to my heart. Often I like to visit the dogs and cats at the animal shelter and play for a while. I’ve house sat and watched many pets over the years. I have a cat of my own, so I know how big of a responsibility it is. I work morning shift at my job but can always be flexible to accommodate your pet. I have a big yard where they can play! I love going on walks/runs. There is also a dog park near my house I could take them

“Thank you sooo much!!!! Cailey, was and did a wonderful job watching our three big fur babies!!! This was our first time using Rover, and she made our first experience perfect!!! When we came home our babies were so laid back, not like we had left them at all ?❤️”
