House Sitting Oceanway

“Megen took the best care of our 11 month old lab! Shiloh loved her, and got so much exercise and stimulation. Megen also takes the best pictures and gives great updates! She left the house cleaner than it was when she came! Will forsure use her again! 😊”

“We had Hannah stay over at our house for a weekend to watch our dog who hates thunderstorms, and she took such great care of her. She was also so respectful of our home, and left everything so clean which was a great surprise when we returned. We really appreciate that she respects our dog’s needs to not be around other animals, and we can tell she gets plenty of love and attention. We totally recommend her!”

“Second time having Emily stay and take care of our beloved dog Jasper. He absolutely loves that he gets to stay home when we are gone and his friend comes to stay. Thanks again!”

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

“She took great care of my dog and was very attentive to her needs. I really appreciated the updates and the way she made sure my dog felt comfortable and not alone. It gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book her again!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born. I've always loved to spend time with them and have been responsible of feeding, cleaning, and grooming them ever since I can remember. I have a full-time job right now, but was looking to spend my free time doing something I enjoy and I cound imagine any time better spent than with the friendliest creatures I can think of: dogs. I keep my dogs in my house all the time so they are always surrounded by us and are constantly being cared for and entertained.

“Amy was a godsend! She was punctual, communicative, and prepared. Best of all, she is a gentle and respectful spirit who our rambunctious dog took an immediate liking to. I look forward to using her services again and would recommend her without reservation.”

Miriam K.

“Kirstin was so incredible looking after my baby! She was so communicative but also didn’t have to rely on me for every little thing. I felt 100% confident that Gaia was in more than capable hands. Will definitely be booking her the next time I’m out of town!”

Sasadya M.

“Miss Anne was fantastic! She house sat our Cavalier pack and everything worked out perfectly. Its obvious she gave them tons of attention because I think they are mad that we came home. Thanks for all the photos and update while we were gone. I sure hope we can use Anne again.”

Chris S.

“Matt did an overnight stay to take care of our pits (1 is special needs) always on point with instructions and our dogs LOVE him. Will ALWAYS RECOMMEND Matt to Friends and Family.”

Amanda H.

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

Alecxandra S.

“Johana responded very quickly to my booking which I really appreciated and communicated easily with me! She gave me peace of mind while I was out of town that my kitty was taken care of!”

Mary M.

“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”

About: Hello! Im a local native to Jacksonville, and i genuinely love dogs and cats. Having two of my own, I really know how to take care of them and go above and beyond to ensure my furbabies are happy, therefore, I’d do the same for you! I have an Australian shepherd and husky, and take pride in engaging in their crazy ambitions, having trained them since they were babies. I’m working on my own business and need some extra cash flow. Therefore, I’m very available during the day, I usually walk my dogs in the morning and workout. So anytime after 12pm works really well for dog walking. As for dog sitting/home sitting, my job is remote so I can do work from home! Typically, my home is fenced, therefore, I usually just let my dogs roam free in the back while I watch. We play fetch and doing training back there. But for clients with no fence, I have no problem walking dogs to go potty. As far as inside, I pay close attention to things. If the room is too quiet or gets to rough, I’m always on top of things. And if my dogs are acting weird, I ensure I’m on top of that before the problem gets worse.

About: Over the years, my love for animals has grown immensely. Dogs are cute and cuddly little furries that will never grow up and will give you unconditional love. I am currently available for a wide variety of options as I do not have a job and don't having one for the foreseeable future. I have a screened in porch, a big back yard and one small Maltese to keep your dog company. It is a very quiet neighborhood.

“Mary was very helpful w my cats! She kept in contact the whole time. I would absolutely hire her again”

Rhianna U.

“Philip was available to meet at the last minute and was very flexible in meeting up to meet my dog. He had responsive communication during the whole time I went out of town . My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I am so glad to find someone to keep my dog for in the future. Thank you Philip!”

About: Hi. I’m Lisa. I have multiple dogs. This is not a red flag—it’s a résumé. I’ve spent years deep in animal rescue and still actively foster, which means I regularly welcome new personalities, quirks, and mild emotional instability into my home. At this point, I don’t just “watch dogs”—I run a highly functional, well-managed society of them. We live on a private 5-acre property, so your dog will have space to run, explore, decompress, and live their best life (or quietly supervise from afar—equally valid). I specialize in: • Senior dogs (less teeth, more wisdom) • Anxious dogs (we respect boundaries here) • High-energy chaos agents • Dogs with ✨very specific personalities✨ • Medication routines (including the dramatic ones) Because of my rescue background, I’m extremely tuned in to dog behavior. I can read subtle cues, prevent issues before they start, and keep things structured, safe, and low-stress—even in a multi-dog environment. ⸻ 🐾 House Rules / Vibe Check • Kind dogs only (no true aggression—quirky is fine, chaos is fine, mean is not) • Must be safe around other dogs or able to be managed appropriately • Owners who understand their dog’s personality = my favorite people • Honesty about behavior/needs is required (I can handle a lot—I just need to know) ⸻ 🐾 What You’re Actually Getting (aka why I’m not the cheapest option) This is not a revolving-door setup or a “quick check-in” situation. This is: • Experienced, behavior-aware care • A structured, calm environment • Space to decompress (5 acres, not a crowded house) • Intentional management of all dogs in my care • Someone who notices the small things before they become big things I keep my bookings limited so every dog gets real attention, proper supervision, and a stress-free experience. ⸻ 🐾 Honesty Hour If your dog is: • A little spoiled → same • A little weird → preferred • A little feral → I’ve built my brand on this • A senior with strong opinions → immediate VIP access Your dog won’t just be “watched.” They will be understood, respected, and gently obsessed over. ⸻ 🐾 What You Can Expect • Frequent updates + photos (yes, probably more than you expected) • Consistent routines based on your dog’s needs • A calm, confident sitter—even when dogs are being… dogs • Thoughtful, individualized care ⸻ 🐾 Bottom Line This is my life, not a side hustle. If you’re looking for experienced, reliable, premium-level care—with plenty of space, structure, and someone who genuinely gets dogs—you’re in the right place. Fragile angel, chaotic goblin, or distinguished crusty legend… all are welcome here. My schedule is currently very open—which means your dog is getting full-time, high-attention care, not a “fit them in between errands” situation. I’m home most of the day, so dogs in my care are: • Rarely left alone • Let out frequently (because tiny bladders + strong opinions are real) • Closely monitored for mood, appetite, and overall vibes • Given attention on demand (or respectfully ignored if they’re in their “don’t perceive me” era) This setup is especially ideal for: • Seniors who need extra support • Anxious dogs who do best with consistency • Small dogs who believe they are in charge (I respect it, I just manage it) Because I’m consistently present, I’m able to keep things calm, structured, and safe—even with multiple dogs. I notice the little things early, adjust as needed, and make sure every dog is comfortable in their own way. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and stress level are my top priorities. I live on a private 5-acre property with multiple secure yard areas, which allows me to tailor each dog’s experience. Dogs are never just “turned loose”—everything is intentional, supervised, and based on their individual personality and comfort level. I do have larger dogs in my home—but they are extremely small-dog savvy. Through rescue and fostering (over 1,000 small dogs), they’ve learned to be calm, respectful, and appropriate with tiny dogs. That said—if your dog prefers space from larger dogs, that’s absolutely not a problem. I’m able to use separate yard areas and manage groups accordingly so every dog feels safe and comfortable. Because I foster and manage multiple dogs regularly, I’m very experienced in: • Reading dog behavior and body language • Safe introductions (or choosing not to introduce at all) • Structured group management and separation when needed • Preventing issues before they start All dogs (mine included) are always separated for feeding and meal times until everyone is completely finished. This is a strict safety protocol I never deviate from. Dogs can be crated if needed (or if that’s what they’re used to), and I also separate for rest and decompression to keep the environment calm and low-stress.
