“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life since I was 8 years old. My first ever dog was a shihtzu named Dexter. I've cared for my cousin's 2 dogs (Rottweiler and Great dane. Ive also taken care of a kitten newborn for 4 month as well. I would say that I have a variety of experience from working with small and larger dogs. Im dependable and can follow any specific instructions (if any). I have a very open schedule so if you or your pet need me in a moments notice I can be there! Im currently a part time student at Jacksonville University with a lot of time on my hands and one class im working on during this summer break. So my availability is very open. I can adapt to each animal's specific needs when taking care of animals in clients' homes. If the animal is more active I'm more than happy to play with them indoors or outdoors (depending on the owner's preference). This also applies vice versa. I'm able to take the dog out for plenty of potty breaks and can accommodate to your animal's needs.

About: ✨A Pet Care Experience Rooted in Love & Trust✨ When you leave your dog with me, they’re not just watched—they’re deeply cared for, prayed over, and loved like family. I believe every animal is a creation of God, deserving of gentleness, safety, and joy. Whether it’s a peaceful nap, a playful walk, or a quiet cuddle, your pup will be surrounded by calm, loving presence. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs—this isn’t just a service; it’s a calling. As a dog mom to a senior pup myself, I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and consistent care. I’m confident in giving medications, supporting mobility, and reading subtle changes in behavior. I don’t just meet physical needs—I nurture the emotional and spiritual well-being of every dog in my care. I play worship music during rest time, keep a peaceful environment, and speak blessings over each furry guest. My goal is simple: that your dog would feel safe, loved, and completely at peace while you’re away. You can rest knowing that your best friend is being cared for with intention, compassion, and prayer. This is more than pet care-it's a ministry of love and peace. I offer flexible and dependable pet sitting services with a fully open schedule to accommodate your furry family members’ needs. Without current job constraints, I’m able to provide personalized care, medication administration, and attentive companionship for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether it’s regular visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My adaptable availability means I can tailor my support around your schedule and your pets’ routines, delivering peace of mind with professionalism and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I create a peaceful, grounded environment where animals feel secure and cared for, whether I’m stepping into their space or welcoming them into mine. With years of hands-on experience, especially with senior pets and those needing medication, I bring a calm, attentive presence that animals quickly respond to. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect, gentleness, and responsibility I give my own. My goal is to bring peace of mind—knowing your pets are not just safe, but genuinely cared for.

“Sarah was awesome with my cat! Super friendly, reliable, clean and asking if any additional help needed. I loved getting little updates while I was away—it gave me total peace of mind. Definitely would have her pet sit again!”


About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have always had a passion for them. I’m so passionate, in fact, that I’m in my gap year before I start veterinary school next year! I have fostered over 20 dogs, so I am familiar and comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I am currently the mom to a 1 year old dog and a senior dog, so I have first hand experience on the different needs and requirements for a happy and healthy dog! Additionally, I have personal experience in beginner puppy training, senior care, and handling reactive dogs. I am available 7 days a week at all hours. I just moved to Jacksonville a few weeks ago so am hoping Rover can help me meet some furry friends and create forever bonds! As a dog mom, I know first hand the anxiety that comes with having someone watch your pets, so I make sure to provide plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. I am very active and love to be outside so I can take your dog on as many (or as few) walks/runs as they want! Or if your dog isn’t active, we can chill in the AC! Due to my flexible schedule, I can provide both dog walking services and house sitting services (as well as overnight visits if needed)! My schedule allows for me to make your dogs comfort and safety my #1 priority! Due to having a reactive dog myself, I do not allow your animals in my own home for your dog’s safety and comfort! I am very tidy and organized, so I will treat your home with respect, and leave it cleaner than I found it!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, gentle, communicative and genuinely love bonding with each animals unique personality whether it’s a long walk, quiet companionship, or playful energy I adapt to what your pet needs most. I also respect your space routines, making every visit, smooth and stress free. I currently have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for pet care. I am able to prioritize walks drop ins and sitting throughout the day and I enjoy building a consistent routine with each pet I care for whether it’s morning walks midday, check-in or overnight stays. I can easily work pet care into my daily flow. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space when I care for pets at your home. I do my best to stick to their usual routines so things feel familiar and easy for them. I’ll treat your home with care and your pet like family whether that means extra cuddles, sticking to their favorite walking route or just keeping them company while you’re away

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven! He completely loved on our 2 year old pittie mix for an entire week. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was being so well taken care of! Our rescue is a bit reactive and uncertain around new people and animals, and he handled him like a pro. Steven took the time to get to understand Indigo at his own pace. Definitely booking again. Thanks Steven!!”


“Dawson is awesome! He is super polite and responsible and did a great job both dog sitting and house sitting. Our dog loved being with him and he was super communicative with me if he had questions or if I had any questions. I would absolutely recommend him.”

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

Alyssa M.
“Alyssa lives in my apartment complex and I met her through Ada, the dog she is fostering. Ada was on her leash, about 15 feet away, begging for my attention so I asked if I could pet her. Alyssa said yes and explained that Ada is hyper-reactive, but I still thought she was an adorable dog. After talking with Alyssa over the last few months and having Ada stay at my apartment a few times, I could see how well Alyssa cared for her and trained her. Ada behaves so much better on the leash now, you almost wouldn't even notice her walking by you on the sidewalk. Alyssa even wrote detailed instructions on shampooing Ada's feet hahaha”

She will care for them as if they were her own, give them all the love and attention they need and provide a sense of comfort knowing someone so trustworthy is looking after your pet.
