About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!

“My two dogs loved going to daycare with Megan! She was very good at providing care suited to their inidividual temperaments-- my Tate is an independent explorer, and she allowed him to do his thing, while my little Bea is more timid, so she gave her a quieter space where she could relax while she was getting used to the other dogs before she warmed up and was ready to interact. Megan kept me updated with photos and videos so I knew my pups were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I would highly recommend Megan!”

“My pup, bandit, had a great time. I scheduled a day care for Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, as soon as I pulled into the drive way, Bandit got really excited. Jerome sent pictures both days and updates, he even fed him dinner which wasn’t necessary since I plan on feeding him when he got him but it was super kind of him!! Bandit is a high energy dog and when he got home all he did was sleep which is great! I would definitely recommend Jerome and I would use him again. He was very nice and accommodating, treating my dog as his own :)”

About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.

About: I have worked as a volunteer vet tech , 2 different boarding facilities, and have been a dog groomer since 2019. I love all dogs and and enjoy working with them daily I’m currently part time only work 3 days a week so I have weekends to spare and a few days during the week . When at work I’m gone 6 hours I have baby gates to set up in our house incase separation is needed , I have a lot of dog toys to play with , as well as a nice fenced in yard ! I also have water bowls set up inside and outside

“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”

About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.

“Anne was amazing!! I honestly was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but she kept me updated throughout the day! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I have a wide spread of experience working with animals. From loving on my own animals, family and friends animals, to loving and training multiple animals that i have worked side by side with. Animals have always had a soft place in my heart. Your animals will be treated like my own! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m available most of the time! Your pets will have lots of playtime, outdoor time, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay, so they feel comfortable, active, and loved while you’re away. 🐾 I provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet in my care! I have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and get their energy out. I love spending time playing fetch, giving attention, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Fresh water is always available, and I keep a close eye on pets to ensure they stay happy, safe, and active throughout the day. 🐾

About: Hi. I’m Lisa. I have multiple dogs. This is not a red flag—it’s a résumé. I’ve spent years deep in animal rescue and still actively foster, which means I regularly welcome new personalities, quirks, and mild emotional instability into my home. At this point, I don’t just “watch dogs”—I run a highly functional, well-managed society of them. We live on a private 5-acre property, so your dog will have space to run, explore, decompress, and live their best life (or quietly supervise from afar—equally valid). I specialize in: • Senior dogs (less teeth, more wisdom) • Anxious dogs (we respect boundaries here) • High-energy chaos agents • Dogs with ✨very specific personalities✨ • Medication routines (including the dramatic ones) Because of my rescue background, I’m extremely tuned in to dog behavior. I can read subtle cues, prevent issues before they start, and keep things structured, safe, and low-stress—even in a multi-dog environment. ⸻ 🐾 House Rules / Vibe Check • Kind dogs only (no true aggression—quirky is fine, chaos is fine, mean is not) • Must be safe around other dogs or able to be managed appropriately • Owners who understand their dog’s personality = my favorite people • Honesty about behavior/needs is required (I can handle a lot—I just need to know) ⸻ 🐾 What You’re Actually Getting (aka why I’m not the cheapest option) This is not a revolving-door setup or a “quick check-in” situation. This is: • Experienced, behavior-aware care • A structured, calm environment • Space to decompress (5 acres, not a crowded house) • Intentional management of all dogs in my care • Someone who notices the small things before they become big things I keep my bookings limited so every dog gets real attention, proper supervision, and a stress-free experience. ⸻ 🐾 Honesty Hour If your dog is: • A little spoiled → same • A little weird → preferred • A little feral → I’ve built my brand on this • A senior with strong opinions → immediate VIP access Your dog won’t just be “watched.” They will be understood, respected, and gently obsessed over. ⸻ 🐾 What You Can Expect • Frequent updates + photos (yes, probably more than you expected) • Consistent routines based on your dog’s needs • A calm, confident sitter—even when dogs are being… dogs • Thoughtful, individualized care ⸻ 🐾 Bottom Line This is my life, not a side hustle. If you’re looking for experienced, reliable, premium-level care—with plenty of space, structure, and someone who genuinely gets dogs—you’re in the right place. Fragile angel, chaotic goblin, or distinguished crusty legend… all are welcome here. My schedule is currently very open—which means your dog is getting full-time, high-attention care, not a “fit them in between errands” situation. I’m home most of the day, so dogs in my care are: • Rarely left alone • Let out frequently (because tiny bladders + strong opinions are real) • Closely monitored for mood, appetite, and overall vibes • Given attention on demand (or respectfully ignored if they’re in their “don’t perceive me” era) This setup is especially ideal for: • Seniors who need extra support • Anxious dogs who do best with consistency • Small dogs who believe they are in charge (I respect it, I just manage it) Because I’m consistently present, I’m able to keep things calm, structured, and safe—even with multiple dogs. I notice the little things early, adjust as needed, and make sure every dog is comfortable in their own way. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and stress level are my top priorities. I live on a private 5-acre property with multiple secure yard areas, which allows me to tailor each dog’s experience. Dogs are never just “turned loose”—everything is intentional, supervised, and based on their individual personality and comfort level. I do have larger dogs in my home—but they are extremely small-dog savvy. Through rescue and fostering (over 1,000 small dogs), they’ve learned to be calm, respectful, and appropriate with tiny dogs. That said—if your dog prefers space from larger dogs, that’s absolutely not a problem. I’m able to use separate yard areas and manage groups accordingly so every dog feels safe and comfortable. Because I foster and manage multiple dogs regularly, I’m very experienced in: • Reading dog behavior and body language • Safe introductions (or choosing not to introduce at all) • Structured group management and separation when needed • Preventing issues before they start All dogs (mine included) are always separated for feeding and meal times until everyone is completely finished. This is a strict safety protocol I never deviate from. Dogs can be crated if needed (or if that’s what they’re used to), and I also separate for rest and decompression to keep the environment calm and low-stress.

About: Our family has always included pets. I will be incomplete without them. I have foster and rescue many cats. And I have trained our dogs for service work. All of this has provided me with unique knowledge about grooming, behavior, breeds specific, and training for animals. I'm excited to offer your pet the same level of care than ours. I respect pets like a family member. And through this sitting I am hoping to grow our resources to keep giving back to shelters and other pets in need. I am are currently working from home. And spend my days inside. So your pet will have company 24/7. My family have a very quiet lifestyle and will accommodate to any routine necessary. I offer personalized environment for our sitting pets. Since we have the space, if you have a shy pet they can be in a quite room by themselves and be accompanied as they like. Or if is playful it can hang around playing with our kittens. We do leave them the first night in their own space to accommodate. And if you like we can transition them into the general space.

“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”

About: Hi! I’m Priscilla, a lifelong dog lover and pet parent who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds and senior dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks, so I take the time to follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, meals, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone dependable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Your pets aren’t “just pets,” and I’ll never treat them that way. ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present with the dogs in my care throughout the day. I’m available for doggy daycare and overnight boarding, and I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, play, and rest schedule as closely as possible. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to feel confident about where your dog is staying. I prioritize safe introductions, supervision, routine, and a comfortable home environment. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, crate, and care instructions carefully and send regular photo and video updates while your dog is with me.

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!

“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”
