“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”

“Bogey has stayed with Edward several times now and he always comes home raving about how awesome Edward is. We love the care Bogey receives and feel so blessed to have found someone to watch “our boy” we need to leave him. Highly recommend Edward. He is very responsive and sends daily pictures and updates.”

“Highly recommend Marlena! She was great about making my BIG babies feel comfortable (my female has really bad separation anxiety & immediately connected with Marlena!) She was great about sending updates and very communicative, it was so nice to leave my pups (without worry) for a weekend out of town! We will definitely be booking with Marlena & Phil again! Thanks so much for loving my babies & making them feel safe.”

“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”

“Imani was absolutely professional and provided my babies with comfortable accommodations during my 4 day vacation. My dogs are seniors and require a lot of attention and I appreciate how attentive she was to all of their needs. As a dog mom I’m always a bit nervous about leaving my babies behind when I go on vacation, but she put my mind at ease. She sent ample pictures throughout their stay and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. 5/5 🐾, highly recommended. I would definitely book her now!”

“Alicia is the best!!! My rue girl was so comfortable and felt so at home you’d think Alicia was her owner! I have never felt safe leaving rue before however this time with her being in Alicia’s care there wasn’t a worry in my mind! Definitely will be a reoccurring guest ❤️!”

Alayvia P.

“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”

Chelsy A.

“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”

Samuel S.

“Christian was amazing! From all the picture and video updates, to her updating me on how my baby Kayo was doing, how good he was, and she even took him out to a park for walks! Christian treated my furbaby like he was her own, down to her cooking my baby boy some food! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve booked with other people before but I have never felt this secure with leaving my baby! If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to book with her because I promise you, your furbaby will be in the best care. Thank you so much for loving on Kayo, he seemed sad to leave his new friends lol. We will definitely be booking again!”

Shantel E.

“Wendy was wonderful with my sweet girl! Plenty of pictures and updates. My dog had been playing with some squirrels and had scratched her nose good, and Wendy provided care and medicine for her! Would recommend her to anyone in the Jacksonville area!!”

Bayleigh G.

“Highly recommend.”

Camri Y.

“I was a little apprehensive leaving my 10 month old puppy with someone else since she's large and quite high energy (par for the course with puppies!), but it was clear throughout her stay that my pup Stella was in great hands! Layda was very professional, responsive, sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the stay and treated my pup like her own. Her home and large backyard, pool, and other puppy playmate were like heaven for our Stella. I will definitely be reaching out to Layda for our pup to stay again in the future!”

About: hablo espanol :) I've had pets all my life, I understand their different needs and always treat them with love, patience, and attention. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I’ve gained hands on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments.

What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animals and the trust I build with both pets and their parents 🧡🫶🏻 ‼️PLEASE NOTE‼️ : I am full time student so my schedule changes every semester.

I’m available in the early mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I’m dedicated to being thoughtful and dependable, making sure your pet feels comfortable and loved every day. I always put safety and trust first when caring for pets in the pet’s home.

I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, and daily routines to keep your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to build a trusting relationship by being patient, gentle, and attentive so your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away.

“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”

“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”

“Joshua and Lesley exceeded our expectations. This is the first time we’ve tried pet sitting outside of a boarding. As a family with a very loving but energetic dog we were skeptical if someone would give our pet the care and patience he needs. Joshua and Lesley put our minds at ease since the first day we met them. They are passionately driven professionals and have gained our trust for future sitting. Quick response times, regular updates and lots of pictures. This is the team to get. Your dog will love them.”

“Rachel and her family took great care of our blind girl Sophie, helping her get acclimated to their home and feel at ease. Great to know I have a sitter in town that I can trust.”
