I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.

Jeweliana and Riley took excellent care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. They sent us lots of updates and pictures while we were away, which gave us peace of mind our pups were in such good hands. Our house was spotless when we returned and our fur babies were very happy. We will absolutely book them again!

Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!

Mignon and Coco are not easy clients — they expect VIP treatment only. Cheyenne delivered! My pups approved her immediately (which never happens). Thank you for such amazing treatment!!

About: I like to update you on your pet/s every day, how they did and how they played. I also like to send pictures to you of your pet/s and videos for you to enjoy! I'm here to help right when you need me. I enjoy caring for all pet family and updating you with photos or calls of our time together. Reach out for more info. Pet care is heavily dependent on owner instructions and my own care experience. My attention is based on scheduled care and includes daily walks, proper meal preparation and admission, medications as necessary and active/brain play and independent settling.

Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!

About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and cared for animals for many years. I love animals especially dogs. I have one dog of my own named Lilo. I recently moved to the area and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I am a teacher so I can provide pet care evenings/weekends/ school breaks. I am happy to do overnights as well if I can bring my dog. I can care for dogs overnight if I can bring my dog. She is a small wire silk hair dachshund & gets along with other dogs.

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.

Kevin and his wife were both so kind and supportive when caring for my rescue pup, Wrigley. My dog has extreme anxiety and some behavioral issues. But, Wrigley warmed up quickly to Kevin and his wife. They were very flexible with our last-minute schedule changes and understanding of my dog’s needs. I also appreciated the daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend Kevin as a dog sitter!

Many is such a wonderful person and we appreciate the love and care she provided to our four dogs at our home while we were away. We had a meet and greet before our departure and the dogs took to her right away! She provided us with updates letting us know if anything seemed off and when everyone was getting along well while we were away. The next trip we take, Mandy is going to be the first person we call. Thank you again for your help!

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!

Emily was amazing and did so well with my 4 rascals! She sent so many pictures and kept me up to date all day. It really kept my anxiety at bay and allowed me to enjoy my day. I can’t wait to book her again.

Wow! I knew once meeting Scarlett that I had made the perfect match for my pup, Curbie. She and her daughter, Markie tag teamed at my house while sitting with my pup for almost 2 weeks. They both are animal (dog) lovers— you can tell that in the meet and greet by the questions she/they asked about caring for my older dog. I got updates and pictures even knowing I was out of the country and I might not have received them Scarlett and Markie still sent them to reassure Curbie was in great care. He was happy when I got home. Scarlett cared for my home too. She left it cleaner than when I left for my trip. She even washed her bed linen— I will be using her again and recommending her in the future to those who need a sitter for their pets of varied breeds and sizes. It’s scary to leave your pets in someone’s care but I was at ease knowing Curbie was in excellent hands.
