About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.

About: We have had dogs for most of our life, we are away from our lovely dogs so we will take care of your pets as if they were ours! We love pets more than we love people! Currently working from home and new to town, so we both have lots of free time to dedicate to your lovely pets and give them all the scratches, head pats and treats. We will treat your pets as our own, we miss them a lot so a lot of cuddles are in order! The apartment has a closed balcony with mosquito net, there's a lot of green areas to walk around and we love walking to get to know the neighborhood.

“Erika was great and so reliable during our vacation. John loved his walks with her, and we really appreciated the updates she sent while he was out on his walks. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”

About: My name is Sam. I’d love to make your day easier by giving you peace of mind knowing your fur babies are taken care of. I will make sure your pet is walked, fed, has fresh water, and we’ll have fun and release some energy! I grew up with large dogs. (Two golden retrievers, and a Dalmatian) and I currently have an orange tabby cat. Following rules and guidelines for your pet is one of my top priorities, ensuring safety for your cat/dog. I’d love to build a friendly and trustworthy relationship with the pet parent and the pet to maintain an easy schedule and a happy pet. I recently moved from Florida but very familiar with the Chicago area, and currently in school part time. As of now, I have plenty of time and flexibility. I will always ask the pet owner the rules for their pet and their disciplinary routine to encourage the pet to maintain consistency. I will clean up after any accidents, and ensure clean water, and fresh food with lots of attention. Essentially I would treat your pet the way YOU would want me to.

About: I have been a pet owner all my life and expanded on my pet caring skills when I worked for a major pet store for three years, earning many pet care certifications including nutrition, first aid, and special needs caring. I am the proud and loving owner of dogs and cats and also foster shelter animals, and give them all the highest standard of care so they can have the best lives as possible. I have extensive experience with puppies, kittens and cats, reactive animals, misunderstood breeds, high energy breeds, and senior animals that require medications and more specialized care, as well as special needs pets. I have a passion for all animals, and I look forward to the opportunity of taking care of yours! I have open availability and can work with a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I would love to connect and see how I can help you care for your pets. I am reliable and always use the highest safety procedures when meeting, walking, and taking care of pets. With each visit I’ll provide a thorough update with photos so you know your pet is being well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to find a great pet sitter and treat my pet sitting clients like my own pets, prioritizing their safety, health, and well being, while ensuring they are fulfilled and all needs are met. I can offer individualized approaches if you have multiple pets or pets with specific needs. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! I have a very flexible schedule day to day and can usually accommodate requests with short notice. I am available for any level of care you are looking for, and aim to accommodate the schedule you need for your pet care. Safety is my top priority when caring for any pets. I ensure all pets are actively supervised and monitored at all times. I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and body language to anticipate feelings in any situation. I always commit to a safe and loving environment for your pet.

“Kellie was great! She was wonderful with our dog and listened to all of his needs for walking and play.”

About: I have had dogs since I was young. My family has always looked to me for nail trims and baths for our family pets. I am also going to school to be a Veterinary Technician. I am in school part time so I have plenty of days open to play with your pups. Monday mornings and afternoons, Wednesdays, and Fridays through Sundays. I am available to come to your house to feed and play with your pups. I can take them on walks or supervise their outside time in your yard.

About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Growing up, I used to help my grandma with her wildlife rehab center as well as caring for my own fur babies. . I also have experience working at a kennel and pet sitting in home.. I am currently working weekdays between 730 and 430. However, I am available before and after work, on weekends, all major holidays and school breaks.. (I work at a school) I am more so able to take care of your pets inside of your home. I think that might help keep your pets at ease while you're away. I am able to follow designated schedules, walk, feed, administer medications, and play with your pup... I am flexible, most services offered can be discussed

About: Im comfortable with any type of animal. My mom has been rescuing animals since I was born. I have worked with big dogs, small dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs- you name it! And I know how to take care of them accordingly. Cats are also my speciality, as I currently have around 20 cats. I do have 2 dogs as well, though. I love animals more than anything, and I promise your pets will be happy and safe in my care. My availability is slightly limited due to college and my two jobs, however I am always willing to move things to make things work. Your pets needs are my top priority whenever I am with them. That means that I am alert and focused when taking care of them. I am kind and gentle, but I am also happy to play and be enthusiastic depending on the pets personality. Every pet is different, with their unique preferences, boundaries, and attitude. I take that into account and get to know your pet so that I can make their care special and personalized.

About: Jacksonville native, had pets my entire life! Currently reside in St Nicholas with my husband, we have 3 dogs and 9 feline friends! Experienced with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages. I am available Monday through Saturday 6am-3pm. Currently working from home with a flexible schedule. Available for short or long walks and drop ins, treats available upon request! Only ever looking to give your pet the same level of care I'd give my own. All of my dogs are crate trained and know basic commands, they are also very friendly with cats!

About: I have almost 2 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats. I am experienced with pets from around 3 months up to 15+ years. I am experienced in feeding, as well as administering both oral and topical medications to both cats and dogs. I have experience with shy, timid and anxious pets, and I have dealt with aggressive/reactive behavior. I have experience working with multiple pets at one time, walking up to 3 dogs at one time, and monitoring up to 25 dogs in a play setting at one time. I have administered first aid to dogs with clipped nails, scratched paws, minor bites from other animals, and other various small injuries, as well as sickness. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I’ve had family pets ever since I was a little kid. At one point there were 7 cats and 4 dogs being taken care of at my home, and I was relied on to help feed, bathe, and walk them. I’m an animal lover. Sometimes I feel I connect better to animals than people themselves! I can bring the energy, but I’m also responsible, patient, and can remain calm when dealing with animals that are in distress or are very hyper. I will always follow how the owner of the pet wants that pet to be treated, trained or disciplined. Currently a full time student looking to fill my free time with taking care of your fur babies. My schedule does fill up quick with school activities, hobbies, traveling, etc, but I will keep my schedule up to date as much as possible 🩷 I currently do not have the proper equipment or means to board any animals at the moment. However, I will follow anything the owner needs me to do when it comes to care of their animal in their own home, as well as offering all of the love I can! I will ensure the animals are fed, walked/ let out to play, and bathed if needed.

About: I might be just as excited to see your dog as they are to see me! I've spent years caring for my own dog, helping with foster dogs, and pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I love long walks, playtime, and cuddles, and my gentle, patient energy helps pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I work part-time and attend college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available most days with notice. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I love making pets feel comfortable and cared for. In my home, pets have access to a secure fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of natural light through large windows. I also have a great walking area right behind my house for safe, enjoyable walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and lots of affection to help pets feel comfortable and secure.

About: I am a cat parent of 8. I have experience with cats from birth until years old. I was there for my cat while pregnant and during birth. I also have experience with bottle fed babies. I can give oral medication when needed. Liquid or otherwise. I prefer small and medium dogs. I love their high energy but I also love to just hang out. I have a bit of a flexible work schedule but tend to have plenty of time to work around it if needed. Care for your pets would be top priority. I know cats can be solitary creatures but also know they love to play and cuddle. I will make sure no matter where they are that they feel loved and cared for while their humans are away.

About: I own and run a grooming/boarding facility here in Jax. Petcare is my passion! Branching out to include petsitting as well, so as to offer a one-stop shop of sorts for all your pet care needs. I provide courier service to vet appts and can groom your pups should you need those services during your vacation!

I can administer meds, assist with potty training needs, clean litter boxes, do light house cleaning and make your home appear lived in, ALL while entertaining your babies and keeping them safe. When I come to your home, your pets will be provided loads of love and attention, all while remaining where they feel most comfy, in THEIR home! Should grooming services be needed, I can provide that as well. All dogs will receive a free exit bath! This includes nail trimming and ear cleaning.
