Treating Them Like Royalty!

Pet care experience

Hi, My name is Carolyn, founder of Reigning Cats and Dogs of Jacksonville. We are a mother-daughter team. I am the daughter and owner. I’m the proud pet parent of three kitties and one huge puppy. My free time is spent with my family (furry included), and friends. I volunteered at the Jacksonville Humane Society in the Foster Office for about a year prior to opening my doors for large dog handling training and hands-on experience administering medication for special needs pups and kitties. I graduated from Southern Illinois University with a BS in Workforce Education and Development. I have always been in love with animals. As a child, I drove my parents crazy bringing home every poor little thing I came across. As I got older, I began volunteering for programs that helped to control pet populations like The Bear Foundation, Operation Catnip, and Spay Day USA. I offered adoption assistance to find forever loving homes for dozens of deserving pets. In the last few years, First Coast No More Homeless Pets has helped me spay and neuter several colonies in Duval and Clay counties. During these times I prayed that one day I could make caring for animals my career. After more than a decade in the finance industry, I decided to follow my dream and Reigning Cats and Dogs of Jacksonville L.L.C. was born in 2012. It is my goal to provide Jacksonville pet owners with affordable, reliable, loving pet sitting services. We provide many services including overnight stays, pet taxi, pet personal shopping, key lock out service, and pet excursions (pooch day at the beach...✅ :) We are fully licensed, insured, and bonded. I love my job and want to help care for your pet in any way I can. Thank you for your time, Carolyn

I travel fairly frequently for work but my wife has always been home to take care of Bartle Doo, our cat and also the master of the universe. I've always been hesitant for both of us to leave, even for just a few days. Boarding stresses your pet, and your pet would rather be home anyway. But too many things can go wrong in the home without care, and relying on the kid who lives across the street is also risky, no matter how mature or nice he or she may be. Reigning Cats and Dogs of Jax has been caring for Bartle Doo since 2013, and now I can travel with my wife without worrying about pet care. Carolyn provides reliable and affordable service! It sure makes life easier. I especially appreciate the text messages and pictures from her visits. Besides feeding, playing with, and caring for your pet, Carolyn will also pick up your mail and water your plants if need be. She truly cares about her furry clients (and their owners). Five stars!

Carolyn is fantastic! Not only does our dog love her but we know we can depend on her to watch our most treasured pet when we're not around. She is conscientious, organized and dependable. We also love receiving updates and pictures of our dog having fun on her walks!

Carolyn is a truly “special” pet caregiver b/c she is the most pet-centric person you will find. She absolutely loves animals, has total empathy for them & their needs, and engages so well with them. Additionally, and importantly for pet owners, Carolyn is reliable & dependable. Prior to employing Carolyn, we did NOT know her at all. We conducted a due diligence process involving multiple pet sitters, etc., settled on Carolyn over a year ago, and though we are demanding, Carolyn has exceeded our every expectation.

Carolyn is a true Godsend for my fur babies! She is incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, and beyond trustworthy. When I leave my babies at home in Carolyn's care, I have 100% peace of mind that they will be in the best possible hands. In addition to feeding and cleaning up after my babies, she sends me adorable pictures of them with sweet notes. She is THE BEST PET SITTER HANDS DOWN!

Information Carolyn C. would like to know about your pet

There is a ton to know before you care for a pet. We always do a Meet and Greet prior to service to learn all about what their regular days are like, what they are used to, and what they, and you as a pet parent prefer. And we spend much needed time getting to know each other.

A typical day

I like variety in our walks, and most pups do too. Sometimes we stay local, sometimes we go byebye and drive to the local duck pond or fenced in baseball fields to run free. Then it’s fresh water and treats. And lots of love until the next time.
