Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Lakewood, Jacksonville, FL

“James was wonderful with my fur baby. I know she was very comfortable with him, because one of the pictures he sent was her excited, standing for him to pick her up! She normally only does that with us! I'm definitely going to contact James the next time we go away. Thanks James!!”

“Rebekah is a wonderful dog sitter and pet lover. We met ahead of time to familiar ourselves and ensure everything is taken care of. My dog is very attached and I had to leave for a full week. During that time Rebekah took great care of my dog and even went beyond to ensure she is happy and healthy. She kept steady appts, detailed descriptions and lots of pictures. And took care of her as if she were her own. Could not ask for a better care taker of my dog. Thank you!”

“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have my own cat and have grown up with dogs ever since I was little. I also dog-sat for friends and neighbors throughout high school and college. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work a full time 8-5 job and am available to check on your pet during my lunch hour (if close enough), after 5pm and on weekends! I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention, and get exercise or playtime based on their needs. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor time, and play, while for cats I focus on feeding, litter box care, play, and quiet companionship.

“Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”

“This is the second time Francesca has watched my cats and she is great with them! She provided great updates and pictures showing her giving them affection. One of my cats is a bit shy around strangers but she came and hung out with Francesca :-). I also noticed the effort she put into tidying up the mess they sometimes make and it was so appreciated!”

“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!”

“My two Chihuahuas are…a lot. They bark nonstop and basically refuse to go outside, but Lyndsay handled them with so much patience. She really tried everything to help them feel comfortable and kept me updated the whole time. I appreciate how hard she worked with my difficult little gremlins and would happily book her again.”

“Madison was amazing with Oakley. I’m so glad she was able to accommodate me last minute. She is so kind and I’m so thankful I found her ! :)”

“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!”

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!

About: I am dog and cat friendly and have experience taking training classes with young dogs. Whether it's training puppies, providing extra care for senior dogs, or making sure your dog feels right at home, I tailor my services to meet your dog’s unique needs. Trust me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I am currently working full-time and only have availability Friday after 2pm, Saturday, and Sunday. I will soon be on Rover full-time. Send me a message and I'll see how I can work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly golden doodle mixes. I also have crates available in a couple sizes, if needed. I am willing to accomodate any pet needs, whether that be supervised play or dedicated alone space for dogs that aren't as social.

“Stacey is so lovely & my boys loved her visits! My golden got lots of fetch time in & I loved getting to see the photos while I was away. Thanks again stacey!”

“I booked Danielle as our first time on Rover and couldn’t be happier! Our dogs absolutely adore her! She was punctual and attentive the entire time and went above and beyond to make them feel loved while we were gone! 💗 You won’t regret booking her to care for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve always been an animal person through and through. My experience is all home based from growing up with 2 dogs and 2 cats, throughout my teens and 20s our Siberian husky and rescue pup were part of the family. I have successfully potty trained 2 dogs myself being a husky and dogo argentino. For any husky lovers you’ll appreciate I’ve also successfully recovered an escape artist husky countless times! I’ve lived in Jacksonville for several years, after working in sales for a couple years after moving here I am now looking to find more purpose and enjoyment in my work outside of an office and without chasing leads! I currently have full availability for the most part, as I explore other career paths centered primarily around self employment and remote work. I have a very dynamic and flexible schedule. Unfortunately I cannot look after any pets at my home due to an HOA; however you can expect while I am sitting for your pets in your home that your property and your fur babies will be treated with the utmost care, respect and attention as if they were my own.

“Great sitter! Was flexible and was incredibly helpful after my usual sitter cancelled last minute. Really appreciate how comfortable she made me feel with two dogs that have to be kept separate, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
