“I was a little nervous how my dog would be with a stranger, but Amber made him feel comfortable and even had excited to see her wanting to play! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”
“Katie was amazing with our two older cats! She was always on time and went above and beyond with care. She gave them lots of attention and play time as well as making sure they ate all their food. She gave us excellent summary reports after each visit and plenty of photos!”
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“Mandy was amazing! She took the time to get my nervous pup comfortable with her and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dogs were in great hands. So grateful for her care and will absolutely be using her again for any trips in the future.”
“Kara was incredible and we’ll definitely be booking her again! She was on time to each check in, sent lots of pictures, and sent very detailed updates. My pup was excited to have a visitor during my time out of town and I’m so glad I chose Kara to drop in with Oliver.”
“Highly recommend, she took great care of my cats. Made sure they exercise and have food and water available. Also sended cute pictures (at least one for each kitty) of them with their favorite toys.”
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”
“Liz is phenomenal! She took excellent care of our two boys while we were out of town. They're usually very skittish around strangers, but warmed up to Liz right away ☺️. She kept us up to date with plenty of adorable photos, and was kind enough to reach out whenever she had a question or concern about our kitties' routines. 10/10, I cannot recommend Liz enough!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
“Most excellent sitter. Engaging and involved! She was very communicative, punctual, and respectful. Our doggo’s loved her. I never worried about them while we were gone. We’ll be using her again.”
“This was our first time having Meghan care for our two kitties (big cats). My first comment is, she is a blessing. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were without a cat sitter shortly before going out of country for over 2 weeks and were more than a little stressed. Luckily, we found Meghan who not only was available but made us feel totally at ease. She is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely continue to have her care for our kitties for all of our future needs.”
About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cat! She always came on time and sent me pictures of my cat. She was easy to communicate with and made me extremely comfortable knowing that my cat was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again soon.”
About: I am a dog lover through and through. I have worked as a dog bather/groomer at PetSmart. I currently work at the Jacksonville Humane Society and love to help every dog and cat in need. I often foster kittens and make sure to take shelter dogs out for days on town to give them a break from their kennels! Animal shelter worker who has an 9-5 but can work around mine and your schedule with Fridays and Saturdays completely free! I work Sunday (10am-5pm)-Thursday (9am-6pm). Available to dog walk, dog sit, and give your dog a friend while you're gone! I prefer to care for pets in their own home but am willing to care for them in mine if necessary, let’s talk about it! I am available for walks, house sitting, and drop ins. I am very flexible in availability and am more than willing to work around a client's schedule and adjust to their needs.
“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”
