About: New to Jacksonville. I’ve owned plenty of pets growing up, experienced with dogs large and small. Very patient with animals in general. I own a French Bulldog, his name is Billy. He is very energetic, and gets along with everyone. I own a food business and bartend part-time, so my schedule is flexible. My mom will also be home around the clock, for extra supervision. There’s plenty to do around my neighborhood. Billy will also be there to keep them company whenever they want, and will respect when they just want to chill.

“Katherine did an excellent job caring for my pup. She arrived on time for the meet and greet and to take care of Twyla. She sent lots of updates and pictures of my sweet girl that eased my mind while away. Highly recommend Katherine if you’re looking for in home care!”


“Shaná, we are blessed having you care for our fur children! When we return home, they’re always so happy! The level of comfort they experience being able to stay in their home when we are away is priceless! Shaná, thank you for leaving our home in exceptional condition each time you stay. We look forward to booking your services again 💗💚🙂”


“Scott was absolutely wonderful both with our Amos, and our home. We got plants of photos and updates for Amos’ activity and daily happenings, and Scott was quick to respond if ever we needed anything. Scott must be a dog whisperer of sorts, because our Amos had zero issues with us leaving (he ate, did not pace at all, settled and napped per usual, and slept all night, and even cuddled with Scott!).. which is exactly what we were hoping for! We 100% would recommend Scott and will be relying on him again for any of our house/pet sitting needs.”


“Ligia watched all 3 of our pups for a little over a week and was excellent with them! We received pictures everyday in which the dogs seemed happy and comfortable with her.”

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.

“Very pleased with the 2 weeks that she watched our 70 pound 9 month old puppy. Our return flights were 2 days late and she was very flexible and accommodated our needs. Several people in our neighborhood said they frequently saw her taking our dog for a walk and all seemed going well. She frequently sent updates and pictures.”


“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: 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!

“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.”

“10/10 definitely recommend Ms.Sandra! I was told last minute about a deployment I had coming up and was terrified I wouldn’t find anyone to watch my pup last minute. I explained my situation to Ms. Sandra and she was more than happy to take me on as a client! Her and her daughter had came over to meet Bella two days before I left and Bella was comfortable with them. I knew my dog was being well taken care of and didn’t bother to stress about it while I was away. Ms. Sandra sent me photos every day of Bella just to make sure I was okay! I couldn’t thank her enough! Very sweet, respectful and trustworthy! I will definitely be using her again in the future to watch my pup! Again thank you guys for being amazing!”



“Becca demonstrated incredible maturity, responsibility, and compassion while caring for my dog. Her dog Boomer was also extremely friendly and patient. I felt so safe leaving my dog with her, and she regularly sent me photos and updates on how my dog was doing. Thank you.”

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”
