“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”

My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
About: As a young child in kindergarten , I told my mother I wanted to become a “dog catcher”. I have no idea what that is but I know I have always had a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own. I have always had dogs around me growing up so i have a lot of experience on caring for them. I work from home full time . My working days are M-W & then on Saturday. I’ll have plenty of time to watch your pets I have a fenced yard and I also have a little yorkie chihuahua mixed dog that lives with me and gets along well with other animals.
“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”

“I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!”
