Dependable + Trustworthy Dog Sitter
Hi there! My name is Kate and my husband's name is Josh. We have both been pet owners our entire lives and absolutely love caring for other pets as well as our own 3 (G + Sadie + Toby — Chihuahua Mix + Rat Terrier + Jack Russel Terrier). We own a home in Jacksonville just off 295 on the west side with a large fenced-in backyard and quiet neighborhood. So lots of walking, running around and play time if you were to have your pet stay here with us and our 3 pups! Our babies are typically social but at the very least tolerant of other dogs as long as the dog is not too hyper or trying to mess with them.

Ratings and reviews
Kate and her husband are our favorite sitters. So grateful they were able to watch the boys over the holidays, it really eased a lot of stress to know the pups were in good hands. Her pups are so great with mine and my boys feel right at home. The updates are great! Videos and photos daily. I can’t say enough how grateful I am the pups had friends and a great family to stay with over Christmas when I couldn’t be with them myself.
Kate and her husband are absolutely fantastic! My boys were more comfortable here than any other boarder in the area so far. They can be anxious, so I’m very thankful. They felt safe and what can be greater than that while you’re out traveling or dealing with a stressful situation otherwise. They really help to ease any anxiety while you’re away from your fur babies. The photos and updates were also great. It was nice that they loved on my two dogs as if they were her own. It meant a lot.
Kate & Josh are awesome Pet sitters. Our fur baby SeaStar was home-visited by Kate and crew having a great time on each visit. SeaStar also stayed over at Kate and Josh's home and had a great time with their fur babies. Their home was safe and cozy with a large, secure back yard to roam and take care of business ;>). Kate kept us up to date on all his visits with regular updates and photos of their adventures. If you need a reliable and professional couple to look after your fur baby, look no further. You can travel or take care of your affairs knowing your pet is safe & sound and being cared for in a loving and safe environment. Two thumbs up!!

Kate was s fabulous sitter for Barney. She took care of him with kid gloves and Went above and beyond to help me. I highly highly recommend Kate as a pet sitter
Kate is the best and will absolutely treat your fur babies like they are her own! Kate has helped me with my dog for the past 2 years! She goes above and beyond by ensuring that not only is Lola well walked and feed, she sends me pictures of all the love being given to Lola. I would HIGHLY recommend having Kate as your dog caregiver! If you are looking for someone that loves animals, is patient, and will treat them with all the love, then don't hesitate in hiring Kate! She's the best!

Schedule
My husband and I both work from home so your baby(s) will get non stop attention. We only board small to medium size dogs (less than 30 pounds, some exceptions - feel free to ask). Your dog(s) must get along with other dogs or at least tolerate them. All dogs are separated at feeding times. We are used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications including injectables. With our flexible schedule, we will have plenty of time to walk, play and/or love your pet(s).

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is extremely safe and doors are always locked (even when we are home). Our neighbors are all extremely nice. Our dogs typically lay on the couch, in their dog beds in our office or on our bed. All get lots of love, pets and treats every day 🙂
Pets
A typical day
We typically start by heading out into the backyard for a quick potty break. We then feed all dogs and take them on a nice morning walk in the neighborhood. We are constantly petting, playing, walking and giving our pups attention throughout the day/night.
