“Josilyn was great! Our puppy had a medical emergency the night before our vacation and Josilyn was not only kind enough to pick him up from the hospital, but went above and beyond to make sure both of our pups were happy and cared for until we came home. She is our go-to sitter from now on!”

“We had a great experience with Mandy! She stayed in our home for five nights to care for our pack—two dogs and two cats—and when we got home, everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our home was in good shape when we returned, and we appreciated her thoughtfulness and communication throughout the stay. We’d work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter!”

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid. I love all pets, no matter the shape or size and I’m very passionate about their happiness, well-being and safety! I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University, working to get my doctorate and occupational therapy! I only have classes in the morning, before or after class, I usually work out and study. With just moving here in May, I love exploring and walking around new places with my dog who loves the beach just as much as I do! I take pet safety very seriously and always want to ensure the highest level of care for not only my dog, but your pets as well. For my dog, we usually do leashed walks around the grounds of my apartment or we go to the dog park! With the Florida heat, I typically carry water and treats to ensure my pet doesn’t get overhead! I am happy to do leashed walks or hang out with them in fenced in parks or backyards!

About: Growing up, we always had pets. I have lots of family and friends all with multiple pets, I love getting to know all of their individual personalities and how to take the best possible care of each one. My dog is 14 years old, blind, and diabetic. So I have plenty experience with dogs of all ages and some special needs. I currently work full time during the week but I’m looking forward to taking care of your pets so you can relax on a weekend getaway. I can also be available for later evening walks during the week if you get stuck at work late! My dog is blind so she goes absolutely nowhere without me keeping a close eye on her. She’s very old and very much depends on her daily routine.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven! He completely loved on our 2 year old pittie mix for an entire week. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was being so well taken care of! Our rescue is a bit reactive and uncertain around new people and animals, and he handled him like a pro. Steven took the time to get to understand Indigo at his own pace. Definitely booking again. Thanks Steven!!”

About: Life long animal lover. Cat owner since Elementary school. Currently have 3. All different breeds. I have experience with dogs too as I used to have 2 Labs. I often dog sit for my friends on weekends so figured I'd give this a go as well. Love meeting new pets I have lots of free time on the weekends and love going on walks whether its hot or cold. Most evenings in my work week are free. Pretty flexible if there are some pop up opportunities. I just love hanging out with animals in my free time. Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, gentle, communicative and genuinely love bonding with each animals unique personality whether it’s a long walk, quiet companionship, or playful energy I adapt to what your pet needs most. I also respect your space routines, making every visit, smooth and stress free. I currently have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for pet care. I am able to prioritize walks drop ins and sitting throughout the day and I enjoy building a consistent routine with each pet I care for whether it’s morning walks midday, check-in or overnight stays. I can easily work pet care into my daily flow. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space when I care for pets at your home. I do my best to stick to their usual routines so things feel familiar and easy for them. I’ll treat your home with care and your pet like family whether that means extra cuddles, sticking to their favorite walking route or just keeping them company while you’re away

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young child and I’ve pet and house sat for family friends.

I am very reliable and although I live in an apartment and can’t pet sit in my home I am happy to travel/stay at yours!

About: I grew up on my grandfather’s kennel, caring for German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois, and have personally raised and trained three German Shepherds from puppies to adulthood. I’ve also cared for a diabetic rescue cat, managing daily insulin shots and glucose monitoring, which taught me patience and specialized care. Now, I share my home with an 8-year-old cat and bring years of experience and compassion to every pet I care for.

I keep my space clean and secure so they can relax and enjoy themselves. As a dog trainer I’m experienced with keeping pet routines to not only maintain consistent, as well as to reduce your pets stress when dealing with a stranger. When I’m in your home, I treat it with utmost care and respect. I strive to ensure timely updates about you pet while you’re away so you don’t have to worry.

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, a pet mother for 7 years, and a pet sitter starting now! I would love to provide you peace of mind while you’re away from your furry loved ones. I work from home, so I can easily hop over to tend to your pet throughout my workday and even more frequently during the weekends! I treat every pet (whether it’s my own or not) as an angel baby. Older dog? An angel baby. Little rowdy kitten? An angel baby. They will be in the best hands with me and will get care that is tailored to what their owner specifies to me. Every pet is different and has different needs, so I take what an owner says regarding their care very seriously.

About: With years of experience caring for all kinds of pets—including tortoises, axolotls, sugar gliders, amphibians, reptiles, puppies, and kittens—I bring specialized knowledge and a passion for all creatures. I’m skilled in handling senior and special needs animals and am comfortable administering medications, ensuring your furry, scaly, or feathered family members receive the care they deserve! I work a full time job but am flexible in the mornings and evenings during the week, plus full availability on the weekends. I am more than happy to check on your furry or purr-y family in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends, I am available to check on your pets at any time. I have 2 cats of mine at home, they are comfortable with furry friends visiting them. I always start slow when introducing them to a new animal, for everyone’s safety. If visiting your pet at home, I always make sure to follow instructions left by the owner to ensure the best possible visit. I have experience walking dogs who would prefer to be an only dog; I always make sure to go out of my way to make sure they stay safe and comfortable.

About: While in boarding, your pup will have his or her own room with a queen bed to lounge on, split time with my pups out in the main house, at least 4 potty breaks a day, and plenty of attention. I'm an experienced dog caretaker and can cater to dogs with dietary, behavioral, or medical needs. Up to 3 dogs from the same household can share the room for overnight boarding. There is also room for crates if you would prefer your dog be crated for any portion of their stay. Our household is a quiet and low stress place for your pup to hang out where you'll know they are safe and well taken care of. For daily visits, I bring a calming energy and attention to detail to ensure your pet will be as comfortable as possible while you're away. Time can be spent sitting quietly, going for a stroll, or engaging in play with their favorite toys. Whatever they need to be happy and comfortable while their pet parents are away. My wife and I work opposite schedules so there is always someone home. We've got plenty of time to spend with your pups and they will rarely be alone. We have a 1/4 acre yard that is securely fenced. In the house, boarders are kept seperated from my resident dogs with closed doors and a baby gate to prevent any mishaps.
