Dog Sitting Jacksonville

About: I grew up with dogs, and I adopted my dog Bailey in 2019. I have plenty of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family members. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am happy to accept same day requests to help take care of your fur babies. I am available every day. I do not offer care in my home. I can provide drop in services or dog walks in your neighborhood. I also have experience handling reactive animals.

About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊

About: I have about three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and very mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and safety. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I also have a son so I know how important it is to be able to trust someone to care of your loved one(s). I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I plan my days carefully around my work schedule and my son’s daycare so pets receive proper attention, walks, playtime, and calm companionship without being rushed. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in clean and calm environments, and make sure they’re always supervised appropriately. I respect each pet’s routine and temperament and communicate clearly with owners to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.

“Sienna was available last minute for my trip, and couldnt of asked for anyone better. Communication was great and she really went above and beyond in caring for my cat. Would definitely recommend and will be using her for any future needs! :)”

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

“CJ was awesome! I didn’t realize that I was almost out of cat food in the feeder. CJ messaged me, got the food needed (special diet that has to be picked up from the vet), and reloaded the feeder. I called the vet with my card to pay for it but the service was amazing. She sent me pics of my cat and the food, water, and litter. Great service! Above and beyond!”

About: I've grown up with dogs always around, and until recently my wife and I had multiple large dogs (they have since passed due to either old age or cancer). I have a LOT of practice giving dogs medication, and generally taking care of older dogs. I have done some house training of young dogs for friends and family, but definitely would not say I am an expert. However, patience and consistency are key and I am able to provide those. I currently work full time with an unusual schedule, but am able to do a midday drop in or walk during lunch (which is somewhat flexible for timing) or any time after 3:15PM. I can also be available very early (before 0545) but that would require extra notice. I am happy to follow any and all rules you have, & have no issues if you have pet cams or similar. I will gladly play and interact with your pets as much as either you or they want, in whatever way you think is best.

“Cecelia was an absolute fantastic, she took very good care of my fur baby, she kept me updated with pictures and when my dog sitter canceled she responded last minute. She’s a complete lifesaver!!”

About: Hi! I'm Kelsey! I have had dogs all my life and have worked with them in all types of situations. I have volunteered with rescue groups, helped at kennels, and I worked at Pet Paradise Resort for two years. I'm an actress and am also a dog trainer. I have trained dogs to be in stage productions! I have experience with senior dogs and administering all types of medications (including insulin shots). I also used to have a dog with epilepsy so I am familiar with all types of situations. I also have a great eye for analyzing dog behavior and can usually tell immediately if there is something wrong with them. I once saved a dogs life at Pet Paradise by recognizing there was something wrong with her and got her to the vet ASAP! Please don't hesitate to let me spoil your baby/babies!

About: Whether your companions need feeding rituals, city strolls, running, playtime, cuddles and puddles, meds, or time to run the fields (eh um... backyard), I follow your routine and details. I also take care of the home: watering plants, tending the garden, tidying up, and handling any house and yard specifics that just can't wait. You get peace of mind while you're away. Having lived in cities and on farms, I'm comfortable with most pets: dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and small furries. I've also bottle-fed and cared for baby animals and other high-needs pets. Every mama needs a break once in a while. Depending on your routine needs, I'll generally fit my schedule around yours and/or talk about the plan with you. For nearby visits 10-15 min away, multiple times a day is possible since my schedule can be worked out. For more involved or more rural visits that require more time or need constant or overnight care, please let me know your needs and we'll discuss and agree on the schedule that works. For a house sitting assignment, I generally need to make sure I have somewhere to work on my computer for my remote job and clarify other living arrangements if that is part of the house sitting requirements. I can plan to be there during the day/night as needed, and expect to come and go as if I were living there (get groceries, run an errand) making sure to not be gone for more than the agreed upon amount of hours away based on any pet care needs. I prefer to care for your animals in your home and require a meet-n-greet before your first visit to make sure we're compatible and that I can perform all the details safely in your absence. At the time when I'm expected to care for your pets and/home, I'm expecting to be the only human in the home and that you can rely on me while you're away. At all times, I need a well-lit safe way to enter and exit. It's important to discuss the security of your property with me so that any doors, alarm systems, keys, lights, cameras, utilities, gates, etc. are known and there is a responsible plan for them. I have a series of questions when we meet to get to know your fur babies to know how you expect them to behave and their typical reactions when walking, socializing or other specifics in the home like a favorite object, toy or calming place. For dogs, I like to know their favorite things on walks and their not so favorite areas. If possible, I would love to walk the path with you that you normally take for first time clients.

“Madeline was amazing and sent constant pictures and updates! This was our first time leaving our pups and she eased our anxiety about leaving them.”

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

“I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve dog sat multiple dogs overnight as well as on a consistent weekly basis, caring for up to four dogs at a time. I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I make sure every dog gets individual attention and love. I especially adore puppies and enjoy helping them burn energy, stay engaged, and feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize a calm, fun, and safe environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work part time at Jacksonville University so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Typically I’m available for boarding Monday through Sunday Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm apartment with no kids and no other pets, so your dog will have my full attention at all times. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules you have in place. I’m attentive, reliable, and always aware of my surroundings during walks and playtime. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and never put in unsafe situations. I aim to create a relaxed, loving environment where your dog feels safe, cared for, and right at home.

About: Hi, my name is Audrey! I have lots of experience with caring for large breeds (I grew up with Great Danes), but I love all dogs. My other pets have included cats, a bunny, birds and fish--so I have experience with different types of animals. Your pet’s care and well-being is my number one priority. A happy dog is a healthy dog so I will make sure the walks are long and lots of play time and attention is given! I will take into consideration all needs of your fur baby and if they need medications or have a feeding schedule to be given I will make sure it is handled appropriately and on-time! Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to caring for your pets. My other job has a very flexible schedule, so I can schedule recurrent visits or impromptu visits on the fly. I usually have a break inbetween working so I can check up on things if needed midday. I currently have a 2 year old cat named Neko, she gets all of the love and healthy amount of treats everyday. I have dogsat for many friends and family and adhere to their routines as well as make sure the animal gets plenty of affection and exercise before I head out. Responsibility and safety is inherently important to me.

About: About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for both dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. Pets have always been a central part of my life, not just as companions, but as family, and I bring that same level of care, patience, and respect to every animal I sit. I work from home, which means I have a ton of flexibility and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet loves company, routines, playtime, or quiet supervision, I’m able to adapt to their needs rather than fitting them into a rigid schedule. A Holistic, Toxin-Free Home I take a holistic approach to pet care. My home is completely toxin-free, no artificial fragrances, harsh cleaners, or strong chemical smells, making it a calm, clean, and safe environment, especially for sensitive pets. I’m very mindful of stress levels, comfort, routines, and creating a peaceful space where animals can truly relax. Experience & Special Care I have hands-on experience administering medication and caring for senior dogs and cats. I recently said goodbye to my own dog after a long, beautiful 13 years together, which deepened my understanding of senior care, patience, and gentle attention. I’m comfortable supporting pets with special routines, mobility needs, or medications and always prioritize communication and consistency. Your Pet’s Home Away From Home I have a very secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, plus extra rooms inside the house if your dog or cat prefers having their own space. That said, pets are always welcome to hang out wherever they feel most comfortable, on the couch, by my desk, or soaking up the calm energy of the home. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and truly at home while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I work from home and I have plenty of flexibility to go on walks, play and give your pet the adequate attention needed. I am also very active so I can go on walks often if needed. I have a large house, fit for pets to have plenty of room to explore. I also have a fenced backyard great for dogs to play.
