About: New to Jacksonville. I’ve owned plenty of pets growing up, experienced with dogs large and small. Very patient with animals in general. I own a French Bulldog, his name is Billy. He is very energetic, and gets along with everyone. I own a food business and bartend part-time, so my schedule is flexible. My mom will also be home around the clock, for extra supervision. There’s plenty to do around my neighborhood. Billy will also be there to keep them company whenever they want, and will respect when they just want to chill.
“Great job - as always. Loved the pix. Knowing you were watching over the pups - and that they were relaxed and comfortable at home - made it so much easier to focus on getting through everything else. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

Alyssa M.
“Alyssa lives in my apartment complex and I met her through Ada, the dog she is fostering. Ada was on her leash, about 15 feet away, begging for my attention so I asked if I could pet her. Alyssa said yes and explained that Ada is hyper-reactive, but I still thought she was an adorable dog. After talking with Alyssa over the last few months and having Ada stay at my apartment a few times, I could see how well Alyssa cared for her and trained her. Ada behaves so much better on the leash now, you almost wouldn't even notice her walking by you on the sidewalk. Alyssa even wrote detailed instructions on shampooing Ada's feet hahaha”

Scarlet went above and beyond throughout our trip. She took incredible care of my dog—kept him on his routine, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. She sent regular updates and photos which really put me at ease. On top of that, she looked after my home and my vehicles in a bit of crisis. She kept me updated, handled everything with care, and was thoughtful and reliable from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend anyone trust their homes and pets with Scarlett!!! Thank you again!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nicole did a wonderful job with our anxious dog, Reggie, who usually takes a long time to warm up to new people. She took her time over a couple of visits to get to know him and understand his routine. During the house sitting, Nicole sent lots of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Reggie was well loved while we were away.
We were out of the country for two weeks and very anxious about leaving our pets, especially our old dog who is having a lot of mobility and incontinence issues. We knew from previous trips (and other old dogs) that Layda would take excellent care and be able to handle any curve balls that Aster might throw her way. Layda cares for our pets like her own and we felt much more confident on this trip knowing that she was here with them.
Jada house sat for us over the weekend and we are so thankful! One of our dogs has some ptsd and takes sometime getting comfortable with new people. Jada was very patient and compassionate with him. He quickly became comfortable with her and it made us so happy to have someone he likes. We will definitely be working with Jada more knowing our babies love her!
This is the first time I've hired someone to care for my special needs Great Dane (genetically deaf & blind). Christy provides hands down, exceptional care. Both for him, and my own separation anxiety around leaving him. I can't say enough postive things. From asking clarifying questions, to providing updates, to being open and flexible, to just being a wonderful human (you know and so will your animal). 10 stars. Thank you, and bless you for helping me.
