“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!”

“James is awesome. He did a meet and greet with both of my dogs prior to the walk and was understanding when I was late due to traffic. He has a calm demeanor and understands the importance of giving an anxious dog their space. My dogs did great on a walk with him, and he made sure that they were safe. My anxious dog actually approached and sniffed him after the walk, and even took some treats from him which is a big deal for her. I highly recommend James to anyone!”

“Thank you so much, Aaliyah! We were very happy with your service and the way you took care of Soda. We felt completely at ease during our absence thanks to your presence with our daughter. We truly appreciate your kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend you!”

About: I grew up with beagles, and absolutely adore animals but I don’t own any at this time. I’ve had experience with both cats and dogs of different ages, breeds, and sizes. I did foster a young pup in college, and have also taken care of a few elderly doggies who needed extra TLC. Whoever your pet is, they will be loved and cared for just the same! I’m working part time during the week, so I will be able to spend plenty of time taking care of your pet(s) around my schedule! My schedule is pretty flexible before and after work as well. I leave everything as I found it in the house. When I have house sat and dropped by houses before, I’m always sure to be mindful of my surroundings and ensure it’s tidy. I also make sure I ask where any cleaning supplies are just in case there is an accident. I have found that each dog also has their own routine and favorite spots in the house, so I like to observe their behavior and follow them! I am there to cater to your pet, and as their sitter I am on their schedule, not mine.

About: Growing up, I cared for two wonderful dogs who taught me responsibility, patience, and companionship every day. One was a playful miniature poodle, and the other was a loyal cocker spaniel, each with their own unique personality and energy. Spending time feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them helped me develop a deep appreciation for the joy dogs bring into a home. Today, I own a golden doodle that continues to strengthen my love for working with and caring for dogs. I’m currently working part-time, so there is flexibility throughout the week to care for your pup! I am also available on weekend days. I have a fully fenced in yard at home and have had crate trained dogs. I ensure that there is time to explore the outdoors!

“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”

“Stormee was so great with Duke! It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands because he can be a handful with his reactivity, but I felt confident in choosing Stormee knowing she has a reactive dog herself so she is all too familiar with the challenges / management. She was so sweet at the meet and greet too. I appreciated the mid work days photos and report card. I’d highly recommend her!”
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!
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and lover - our most recent dog until we moved was a miniature poodle rescue. I love to play with dogs and give them the attention they crave and deserve. I know breed traits and am able to "read" the dog's needs well. I have taken care of friends' dogs of varying breeds and have a knack for forming bonds with them quickly. These dogs are always happy to see me when I visit because they know they will get special "scratches" and happy play and walks in the neighborhood. I am self-employed out of the home as a music publisher and I do occasionally travel to visit family and so I am happy to work with you and your dog(s) with sufficient notice!
About: Hi! Im Danielle,! I grew up around a variety of animals- horses, bunnies, parrots dogs and cats! My dream is to open up a rescue/shelter because no animal deserves to go without a loving home. My boyfriend and I have 3 boy cats which we rescued who are our heart and soul and they truly saved us. I have had multiple dogs as well which were my pride and joy. We both grew up on/around a farm and the love we have for all walks of life is what drives me to give your pets the best care possible ! What sets me apart from others is the genuine love and kindness I have for animals because each and everyone has a back story and they all deserved to be loved the same. Dogs aren’t just friends, they are family and that’s why I take pride in helping other owners like myself find someone who they trust to help them one belly rub at a time I am available 5/6 days a week! I left my full time job and I am now pursuing the chance to provide owners with comfort and stress free care because your fur babies mean just as much to me as they do to you! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space how I would expect mine to be treated and that’s with respect. By ensuring that I keep same routine that your fur baby is used to will make sure that they feel comfortable because meeting someone new can be nerve wracking. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and are loved as if they were my own — and I keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things familiar and stress-free. I follow all instructions provided and always double-check things like food portions, medication (if needed), and security (locked doors, gates, etc. Clean-up and tidiness are a priority too; I leave your space just as I found it, or better.
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
About: I have lived with and been exposed to pets of all kinds and ages. Almost all animals seem to love me, and I love all animals! I am currently unemployed and just finished my senior year at Carbondale Community High School, so I will have plenty of free time to take care of all pets. I am very flexible and tend to learn quickly, so any special care or routine needs for your pets don't have to change while you're on vacation or traveling!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have also cared for my own cat for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m a full time college student as of right now I have a job at my college that is very flexible to where I can make my own hours. Since it’s summer I don’t have classes so I’m free every day of the week! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
