Hello Jacksonville!
Pet care experience
I moved to Jacksonville in November of 2021, have taken a break from pet sitting, have spent this year getting settled in with my family (daughter, SIL, 3 young grandchildren) and getting to know Jax a little. I work part time at a boarding/daycare kennel but would like to set my RoverLife back in motion! You can see from my reviews that the pet care I did in the Charlotte area was rewarding and sucessful to not only my clients but to me as well. Each sitting job I give concierge level attention to and form lasting repeat clients based on trust, interest and the best pet and home care. For now I will offer in home sitting for you in the greater Jacksonville area, please inquire about charges. Multiple pet households (cats and dogs, the gerbil, the bird) I do not charge extra for. All the extras that go along with house sitting are included....I'll take care of a few plants, rotate the lights and window coverings, get the packages and mail in, make sure my linens are changed before I leave the last day of the sitting.
Reviews
Bruce was fantastic! We hit a big problem and Bruce adjusted to accommodate our sweet, little panicked rescue dog. She was a vacation saver!!!!!
My first experience with a dog sitter and she treated my three boys like her own family. I was a skeptic and Bruce put my fears to rest. You can tell she has true love for animals, I loved all the pictures she sent. I can't express how grateful I am to finally be able to take a vacation knowing that I would come back to find everything as I left it with my animals happy as always.
I can't say enough about Bruce! It is always stressful leaving your pets in someone else's care, but Bruce went out of her way to look after our kitties. She met us at our house a few weeks before our trip to meet our cats and go over feeding routines etc. I really appreciated this as I could immediately tell that Bruce is an animal person and I felt at ease. She was in daily communication with us, sending us photos and updates and even collected our mail and watered a plant when she noticed it looked sad. I would recommend Bruce without hesitation and will rebook her in the future.
We rest easy and enjoy our trips knowing our dogs are having the time of their life at camp. Bruce appreciates each unique personality in our pack and treats them with respect and love.

Safety first. At your house? I want to know where your gates are so I can make sure they stay closed! I haven't lost a pet yet!! Best practices in pet sitting. I am old enough and smart enough to be at the top of my game. Repeat clients based on trust is everything to me!
Information Bruce B. would like to know about your pet
I want to have as much info on your best friend as you can provide so that our time together will be comfortable for both of us!
A typical day
I have never had a dog complain about how bad I throw a Frisbee. After a little play time, I have found most dogs just like to hang out and be quiet with me. Dogs like me. I love cats. Before I started dog walking, which led to full time pet sitting, I was The Crazy Cat Lady. Your best friends will be safe with me.

I was a full time pet sitter for over 7 years and am glad to provide verifiable references, my people back in Charlotte miss me and want to see me do well, you bet! I have clients from all walks of life, including a Law Enforcement Officer. I also worked for two pet sitting companies in Charlotte and they taught me best practices n the industry. I am lucky to have had such great mentors....My reputation is everything. It means everything to have repeat clients. And. It's all about the animals!
