About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. We are privately insured with pet care professional insurance (including vet coverage)— for the utmost safety of your loved ones, so that you can rest at ease while away. We are always learning new ways to expand what we can offer to our clients. We strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position. Boarding care is handled by both parties. Most messages are responded to by Mary. Mary does have a standing M-F 3 hour babysitting gig from 1-4, though it often ends early. We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings. We offer a number of services; however, we do not accepts pets from more than one family at a time during boardings so that we can ensure the utmost attention, care and safety of your furry friends. We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.

“Great 1st experience with Rover. Robyn was very professional , on time, communicated, and was great with my dog. Even played with him for a little bit before putting him back in the kennel. We will definitely be returning!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. And the last 4 years I have been taking care of 2 Rottweilers basically on my own. I have trained dogs of all sizes and I have the patience for a misbehaving dog. Plus I love dogs to much not to want to spend time with some and take them on walks. Usually after school I have nothing to do. So filling that time in with a little pet sitting would be beneficial for me. And the extra excessive I get wouldn’t be bad at all. I’m good with the basic necessities like feeding, walking, and interacting with the dog. Making sure they are not getting into something they’re not supposed to. Definitely walks because I’m not to happy about cleaning up a dogs waste.
About: I'm an animal lover and bond easily with all pets. I have worked as a dog bather / groomer at a national chain for all breeds and sizes. My experience also include helping a breeder with puppies and mother care. Recently, I pet sat a sick dog whose family had already booked their vacation. I nursed their dog back to health with boiled chicken, nutritional supplements, and gentle comforting. It would be my honor to provide the care your beloved pet(s) need while you're unable to be there. My services includes playing, walking, petting, feeding, grooming and talking to large or small dogs - all cats, any birds! Of course, cleaning, administering medications, and consoling them, will be done with care. Available for extra tasks, such as taking your pet to the veterinarian or groomer. Congratulations on taking the necessary steps to ensure your pet is flourishing. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am a new retiree and work part-time for the days and hours I select. I am flexible, and can set my schedule around your pets needs I can come to your home with your specific instructions for maintaining the pets routine and crating requirements. I have reliable transportation for any travel requests.
About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!
About: I have experience with a variety of animals (some extensive and some minimal). I've grown up surrounded by animals and have cared for all ages and temperaments. I have experience with certain medical conditions and medical care, as well as high maintenance breeds. I would be more than happy to answer any I care for my cat, Zelda, daily and spend several hours a day with. As a student currently on break, I have flexible hours from my part-time job and periodically care for my family's pets. I split my time between Jacksonville and Tallahassee, but I'll be primarily in Jacksonville this summer. I offer a range of pet care services, including house sitting and check-ins. I'm also happy to provide walks and transportation. For larger animals needing transport (medical appointments, grooming, etc.), 24-hour notice is appreciated to arrange suitable vehicle space. Please reach out with any specific requests or questions you have about your pet's care! I love animals and am happy to fulfill any of your babies' needs!
About: I’ve been a lover of dogs & cats since I was a kid. Animals always gravitate towards me. I’ve had pets since I was about 15 years old. I have nothing but time to give to all pets. Your baby will get all the cuddles & butt scratches they can handle! I’m not working at the moment so I have all the time in the world to give to your furry babies! I’m able to do drop in visits/walks at your home. I can also do boarding at my home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your baby to run around & play. The house is big enough to keep all the babies separate just in case there are any temperament issues.
“Shianne is always so wonderful and so helpful! We've booked her a few times for our 3 wild pups (and our kitties) and she always goes above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough. :)”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. I love doing it and I have my own German shepherd dogs so I’m used to the stubborn ones. I’m currently working part time so I have time to love your dogs as my own. I would love to have your pet be a part of my family temporarily. I have a fenced yard, I have two crates if you need and the ability to allow them to free roam as well. I also can take them on as long of walks as needed.
About: Ive had dogs of all kind since i was very little, and i now work at pet paradise, and can even train your pups for you! I am available everyday of the week, all times of the day! Holidays need to be scheduled in advance and i will not be available on Christmas day. I have a fenced in yard and two other fur babies to keep yours company. If your dog is cage trained we have cages available, if they are trained to stay out then that works as well!
About: I have never known a world without dogs, and my family has owned at least 2 since the day I was born. I believe it is so important for your dog to get the play time and walks they need for the day! I’m a student at Montreat College and would love to check in on or walk your dog! I am typically available in the afternoon or evenings. I have two dogs that I adore and walk every day. They don’t play as much in their older age, but love to be loved on.

About: I have been working with cats and dogs for 15 years within the home and within a shelter and clinic setting where I have learned a lot about mannerisms and the correct way to love and care for all animals alike. My passion is animals so I dedicate all my free time to sitting them, or volunteering so my schedule is yours to mold! Open from Monday-Sunday, weather just for a drop in/ quick walk , an hour or two of play, a drive to the dark park or a week at the house! I am always respectful of my clients space and do exactly as I’m told, I have experience with every type of companion so safety is something that comes easy to me and I always put first.
“Aja was great! I injured my foot and needed someone last minute to walk our dogs. She was quick to reply, prompt, friendly and my dogs took to her quickly! I also do River sitting and I got nothing but good vibes from her :) Thanks again Aja!”

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra patience or consistency, and I always aim to create a calm, positive environment for them. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.

“Amazing. My dogs fell in love instantly. She heard all my requests, treated my dogs like they were toddlers instead of dogs, and spent time playing with each of them. If me or you need services its wise to book her while you can”
