“James was very helpful with our pittie when we went away for the weekend. He visited twice a day, took her on a walk and sent pictures of her eating and walking outside. We will definitely use James again to look after Ivy! She loved him.”

“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”

“Kara was incredibly sweet and kept me well-informed about everything happening with my pets while I was away. She dedicated ample time during her visits, ensuring they received plenty of love and attention in my absence. Trusting a stranger with your fur babies and home can be daunting, but Kara made the experience completely comfortable. I’m truly grateful for her exceptional care. 20/10!”

“This was my first experience using Alivia as a pet sitter and I would 10/10 recommend! She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to send pictures of my pet, play with her, and make sure I knew she was being well taken care of. Alivia was extremely respectful of my space. She helped identify clutter my pet was causing while she was left alone and offered to take out the trash during trash day, which was a huge help for me during my work trip. Highly recommend Alivia as a pet sitter!”

“Karen was great with my new puppy. She was kind, considerate, responsive and caring and followed all instructions well. Will definitely be using her again soon!”

“Rebekah is the absolute best!!! She went above and beyond caring for our kitties, cleaned the litter box areas way more than what was asked, sent so many great photo updates. She was amazing, so glad we found her. Will absolutely be booking with her again and again for future kitty sitting dates.”

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.
“Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!”

“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”


“Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!”

“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“Jenna is our go-to drop in sitter. She communicates effectively, sends great photos, and always cares for our cats as if we are home. Most recently, we had some issues with a medication delivery and Jenna went and picked up the medication for us and paid for it out of her own pocket. She is excellent as a sitter and I could not recommend her more.”

“I can’t think of a more loving and capable caregiver than Brittany! Brittany did an amazing job with my Scarlett! My dog took a liking to Brittany immediately and she just connected with her so well. Brittany was extremely communicative, friendly, and very professional. We will be using Brittany regularly in the future for all our pet caregiving needs, and we would recommend her to anyone!”


About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.
“As always, made sure Duchess was taken care of and walked on time. Duchess had no accidents while I was gone and I did not have to worry about her while I was enjoying family time.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.
“Aaliyah is amazing with our young puppy! She is always on time, communicates very well, and we totally trust her. You can tell she really cares and has a passion for what she does! Would recommend 100%!”

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. She kept us updated throughout our entire trip with frequent messages, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

Any time we had a question, she got back to us right away, and we always felt like our pets were in great hands. We came home to happy, well cared for animals and are extremely grateful for the care and attention she provided.
