“Katie was amazing with our two older cats! She was always on time and went above and beyond with care. She gave them lots of attention and play time as well as making sure they ate all their food. She gave us excellent summary reports after each visit and plenty of photos!”
“Jeweliana was thorough, communicative, and kind throughout our booking with her. She was willing to accommodate adjustments, and asked questions that showed she was deeply paying attention to our cats and their welfare. I could not have asked for someone better to watch our kitties for us, and would definitely book with her again.”
“Shera was amazing! I have a feisty cat and she was able to handle him well and make sure he was fed and taken care of. She also watched my dog and we came home to a happy puppy and no messes!”
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“Jada did amazing with our dogs! Not only did she take great care of them but she also played with them, gave us updates on how they each were doing and their general health, and even noticed some non-pet related issues at the home and offered to help fix while we were out of town. Very responsive and professional, highly recommend!”

“Kara was so great! She helped me in such a short notice and my dog Boone was taken care of. She sent pictures, updates, and communicated well. I would definitely recommend and will hopefully get to use her services in the future!”
“Karianna, is amazing! Her 1st time with my Heaven was impressive, especially after the first walk she told me Heaven was a dominant dog and I never share that with her. 😇 There’s a lot more but all I would say is… I recommend her to everyone. 🥰”
“Liz was great! She came for a meet and greet the weekend before our trip, and called and sent pictures when she went by to check on our kitties! So thankful for her help 🤍”

“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”

“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”
“Em was amazing for our drop in walk and feed! She was on time and the pictures and report card were thorough. We would definitely book her again when we need to!”
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: Ever since I was little I’ve had a dog around. Now in my own home I see just how much time and affection goes into having one. One day I’ll have my own but in the meantime, I love being able to spend time with a variety of fur babies 🥰 I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to work together to make sure your fur babies needs are completely met with all the love they need! Whether it’s “stay off the couch,” daily exercise, designated snacks, or dinner at certain times, I’ll be happy to be your gal. Your home, your rules!

Over the past five years has spent countless hours at my residence interacting with my 13 yr old chocolate lab and she has shown herself to be a compassionate dog lover.”
