Let us pamper your pooch!
Hi, I’m Stephanie — beach lover, outdoor enthusiast, student, and long‑time dog sitter. I’ve been living in the Jacksonville area for about six years now, and I absolutely love calling this community home. When I’m not studying or spending time outside, I’m usually hanging out with my own three pups or working remotely as an admin for a local non‑profit. As a dog owner myself, I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone new. My goal is always to give you complete peace of mind. When your pets are in my care, they’ll be treated like family — loved on, played with, and kept safe so you can enjoy your time away without worry. I also take the privilege of being trusted in your home very seriously. Inviting someone into your space is a big deal, and I treat every home with the same respect, care, and attention I give my own. Your pets and your home are safe with me. Services I Currently Offer House Sitting (in your home) Drop‑in Visits (based on availability) Dog Walking (based on availability) Because I have three dogs of my own, I no longer offer boarding at this stage in life. My schedule can vary from semester to semester due to school, but I always do my best to accommodate when I can. Service Area I primarily stay within Nassau County — especially Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, and Yulee — as well as North Jacksonville. That said, I’m reasonable and open to discussing requests slightly outside this area when possible. A Quick Note I require a meet‑and‑greet before any new stay to make sure everyone is comfortable and a good fit.

I have a fenced yard, and 3 pups to keep our guests company. We like to go out and throw the ball, go for walks and enjoy the outdoors.
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet old lady, Nova! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Stephanie kept us updated with photos, reached out whenever she had questions, and shared some of the little similarities Nova had to her own sweet baby, which made it feel like she really connected with her. Most importantly, Nova was a happy clam when we got home! It was clear she had been well cared for and loved while we were away. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with Nova again and highly recommend her!
Stephanie did a wonderful job caring for our home and pets while we were away in Japan for two weeks. She took excellent care of Lucky and August, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. We returned to happy pets and a well-cared-for home. Stephanie was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. We would gladly book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Very reliable Stephanie takes great care of puppy. She provides updates when I’m away so I can thoroughly enjoy my trip. Bonus Zoey loves her.
Stephanie is absolutely fantastic. We have two rescue dogs, one of whom is absolutely terrified of everything and everyone. Stephanie managed to gain his trust and he was very content with her in our home. The other dog soon figured out she had a welcoming lap; he was in heaven! Stephanie was brilliant about keeping us updated and sending photos.
Stephanie is so good with our puppy. Zoey is much happier staying at home and not having her schedule disrupted. Stephanie is very caring and kind to our puppy.
Stephanie is amazing. She was very kind and gentle with my senior fur babies and was on time for each visit. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.

Schedule
My work schedule is flexible, and I work from home a good bit so your pup won't go long without attention or a potty break.

- Like a person, each dog has their own personality and quirks that may be important to know about. For example, my Ozzy has trigger words. If you say "squirrel" he will go bark at the nearest tree, he loves to sleep with a toy, and is not a fan of small children (he gets nervous and cowers). I want to know about any quirks or important personality traits your dog may have so I can keep a closer eye on them if need be or know that when they growl if you move them, that they aren't going to bite you, or if you have a food aggressive dog (I get those a bit), I can feed them separately and secure them in the kitchen with my baby gate while they eat. The more insight you give me the more comfortable I can make your pup!
