About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15! Friends, neighbors and family have trusted me to pet sit their beloved furry family members. While I do not have a dog of my own, I would love to spend time with yours and treat them with the most love and care, just like I would if they were my own! I love walks, playing, and will make sure your pup is happy, heathy, and fed. I can also give baths if needed! I work full time in an office, however I’m available weekdays in the morning before 8:30am and after 6pm, and at any time during the weekends! I would prefer to go to your house since my apartment is picky about dog breeds! I would love to take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood, or play in your yard if available! If your pup needs crated, no worries! I’m flexible and willing to work with you and your dog’s needs!

“Outstanding! They were punctual, communicative, and followed instructions that were somewhat complicated. My kitties were well taken care of! they stopped by the day that the hurricane was passing near Jacksonville and were willing to bring in my couple of pieces of patio furniture and then place it back out (so the wind didn’t carry them away during the storm.) Highly recommend to others and would absolutely book again.”
