Pet care experience

My love for pets runs very deep!

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since long as I can remember. I’ve had 3 dogs and 3 cats total. I have had experience with baby cats, baby dogs, old dogs, and old cats. I took care of my late 13 year old dog for 2 years by myself. If I ever hear about an opportunity to be with someone’s pet I jump right in! I have dog and cat sat all over Jacksonville and genuinely enjoy it every time. I’m always available for extended stays and available on weekends for walks and drop-ins. I work full time off Bowden Road but live here on San Pablo and spend most of my time on the beach side. In a clients home I would care for the pet as I do my own. When I go to take care of your pets first and foremost I will follow the instructions given to me. On top of that I’ll do anything from playing with them to walking them to simply hanging out with them throughout the day. I find it hard to be around an animal and not show them love! I do have experience with senior cats and dogs and the requirements that may come along with it i.e. administering medication, diapers, possible clean up from accidents etc. Me and my family are also frequent attendees of Brewhound which I am more than happy to take your pet to if you’d like!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In our home we treat our dog like the favorite child! She gets more attention than anyone and is rarely in the crate but we do have one and I can take care of that if needed. Of course in your home, the only expectation is that I treat your pet as my own.

Nicolas makes my dog so happy! She cries at the door when she hears his car outside! He loves to play with her and he had great attention to detail, with everything always right in it’s place and the door locked when he leaves. Recommend!
