“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
“Shera was an absolute gem who took great care of my pup. I had to come up from Gainesville for an appointment in Jacksonville and she happily agreed to meet me and took Harry for a long walk while I was busy. Shera is a lovely confident young lady who will instill confidence in you the second you meet her. I would confidentially recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thanks Shera!”
“Cassie is awesome! My dog loves her, and she clearly enjoys being around animals. She is great at communicating and updating us. We will definitely be using her for a long time!”
“So far, I’m impressed. My dog was being shy and she spent extra time to make sure she was comfy. Renee sent me pictures and was very friendly.”
“Jada was great with both our dogs, she was especially good with our puppy who was a little timid at first but they seemed to really warm up to her fast. We are really glad to have found Jada, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets.

“Sara was great with communication and right on time! Very flexible too ?”
About: I grew up on a farm and watching my grandparents love nurture and take care of animals influenced me so much and I grew up having such a big love for animals. So with any animal, I have in my care I make sure that they’re loved and nurtured. So I currently don’t have a full-time job. I am a single mom of two, who has time to be able to play with puppies and walk dogs. At a certain point during the day, my children stay with their father while I go ahead and have time to do other things such as taking care of cats, walking dogs etc.. my children are used to having animals around them all the time so please don’t be afraid on booking with me. I make sure that I have a decent area for the pet to rest in either in my room or wherever they would like to sleep I have no issues with animals being on furniture. Now, if the client does disclose that her dog or cat is not allowed on furniture. I will do the same in my home. If client request for dog to have a bath, I have no issues with that.
