“Jenna was so great with our pack.. she sent lots of updates and always arrived on time or earlier. She was so patient and caring. I will definitely book with her again. 🖤”
“I had never left my dogs with anyone else before except my mom and sister, I have a dog that is very fearful of new people but I was desperate to find someone since my mom and sister were gone and reached out to Tina. I was so nervous about how it would go but she handled them so well and followed all the directions, she was super kind and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were comfortable and at ease with her! I would recommend her to anyone! Thankyou again Tina!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 16 starting with mastifs. I had mastifs until my twenties until I became a K9 handler in law enforcement. As a K9 handler i trained many dogs. After law enforcement, I started training and boarding dogs full time. My friends and family have always trusted me to keep thier loved ones when going on vacation. I currently train dogs full time from home. I work from Home and I’m home most of the time. I have pets and dogs in training almost daily. I have a fenced in yard with access to water, and possibly a swimming trough in the summer. I have and use FI gps collars. Especially with dogs that may seem to have more anxiety during separation
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, ranging from house pets to farm animals. I’ve helped care for friends and family’s pets while they are away- feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with pets. I’m currently working on getting back into school so my schedule is open for pet care. I am available week days and weekends- open to your pet care needs. I am able to do drop in visits, all day care, or walking during the day. I’m willing to do visits and care until 8 PM on week days and weekends.
About: I have been trained as a vet technician and animal care by the military. I have taken care of animals since childhood, and I believe all animals are part of the family I currently working on my own homestead, and I maintain our family animals and needs on a daily basis. Some may say that they are part of my daily chores, but I do not consider my babies as choirs. I have a fenced in yard. The yard is segmented for separation and safety. I have loving dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. They are able to be in the same areas together with no issues, but my farm is segmented for privacy amongst the animals as well. I feel everyone has their way of loving their babies, and the baby deserves consistency in their normal routines. I find this is most important when missing their human.
“Maryanne & Danielle were excellent! They were in contact with me twice a day keeping me informed of any concerns they had with my dogs & cats. They even found a loving home for my last surviving chicken, others were killed by a fox! I highly recommend them and we will certainly hire them again to care for our dogs & cats for our next trip out of town.”
“Alejandra was a great pet sitter! I felt completely at ease being away from with how conscientious and attentive she was. She provided pictures and videos of our pups. Will definitely use again!”
“Stephanie, Did a great job with Katie. She prepared her meals and kept her room and bedding cleaned up. She communicated with me regularly and sent photos. I could tell she liked animals and enjoyed caring for them. I would recommend her to others and have discussed plans for her to care for Katie again in the coming months. L.Sink”
About: I have cared for a pet for virtually every year of my life that I can remember. From puppies and kittens to the most elder of the two, I cherish all stages of their development and love the joy that each unique individual personality of each pet brings to our world. I'm currently working part time, and on the days that I do work, I work remotely, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to the care of your pet. I have a beautiful large yard at the end of a cul-de-sac that is full of trees. We live in a very nice neighborhood that is perfect for walking dogs also. We have two indoor cats that get along beautifully and are adaptable to other animals. We have a very clean home and are non-smokers.
About: Hello I’m Jasmine and I genuinely care about all pets I am a pet owner I’m available to do home visits walking, personal grooming, and caring for most needs of your Fur Babies my home is open and available for drop off’s doing the morning and evenings. It’s all about having a healthy and happy pet as a pet owner I cherish my animals like they’re my children I also enjoy taking them for long pet -pamper spa days with me,also walks on the beach, engaging fun activities at the park. All pets have to understand the gentleness of having children around! I’ve had my dog since she was six weeks old she engages with other animals very well thanks for the opportunity with trusting me with your for babies
About: I have been employed at an animal hospitals for 25 years and have pet sat for cats, dogs, rabbits, horses and birds over the years. I am trustworthy and reliable I am currently working full-time at an animal hospital 9 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday. I can come in the morning midday at lunchtime or after work if you’re in the area, I can also stay overnight at your home if you prefer. I do have a home with 6 acres however I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to care for pets in your home. They are often less stress when they are at home in their own environment and seem much happier at their own home.
About: To me, animals are the most innocent companions we have. They deserve to feel safe, understood, and loved. While I’m not a vet, I bring a deep sense of empathy and a lifelong passion for animals to every interaction. Whether it’s giving meds to a senior dog, helping a disabled pet navigate their day, or handling exotic pets with confidence, I bring calm energy and a strong sense of responsibility to every pet I care for. I work 6:30am - 3pm in Lake City, Monday-Friday. So I can do one Lake City trip and one trip in Jasper or Live Oak Monday - Friday. I am free more on the weekends so I can do at least two drop ins on the weekends if needed. I do not care for pets in my own home. But I am trustworthy and believe that an animal should be left in the environment that they are most familiar with. Removing them from their environment to a strangers will cause too much stress so I am not an advocate of bringing animals to my house. As far as my routine, once I get a new client, I will want to meet the new client and their fur child before they leave for their designated trip. It’s SO IMPORTANT they see me interact with their owner and know that I’m not a threat especially in their own environment. This creates trust and builds a bond between myself and the animal. (Cats can be territorial too! I’ve seen them attack intruders. Don’t underestimate them.) Keeping to routine and treats go a long way are my two general rule of thumb. Animals aren’t human and they don’t like a lot of change so continuing the same routine as their owner is important as fat meal times or cleaning out litter boxes. Not to mention giving them treats after every visit lets them be excited for you to come AND leave.

About: I have lived with animals my whole life; from chickens, cats, emus, dogs, etc. I can accommodate special needs and will always treat your animals as my own - with love and respect! I am tolerant of behavioral issues, shy animals, and animals with disorders or disabilities. I’ve been taught to take care and provide for animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with a wide variety of dog breeds, from Pit-Bulls, Beagles, Huskies, Shih Tzus, Rat Tarriers, Dachshunds, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

About: I've grown up with many animals since I can remember. Your furry friend is sure to find a friend here in my home with a chihuahua, great white pyr, antolian sheperd, goats, and cat. If they prefer to be the only pet in a home, I can accommodate keeping them separate with majority of the home to themselves free range. Pets are welcome on the couch and in the bed in my home. I'm more than happy to accommodate any special needs or care. I always send frequent photo and video updates, and keep an open line of communication for any questions or updates. My work time is very minimal at the moment so I have plenty of time at home to care for your pet. First thing I do in the morning is tend to all my animals. Your pet would never have a boring dull day here on the micro farm :) I have a fenced half acre yard with two friendly well rounded livestock guardian dogs. They would love to have a friend visiting and this will ensure your dog gets fellow canine socialization and playtime while staying with us! If they are not a social dog, I can keep them to front yard solo walks and outdoor time, and they will have the majority of the home to themselves as they please if needed. I have experience with 10lb dogs all the way up to 120lb dogs :) thank you for reading
