About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.

“Day was absolutely wonderful with my two pups! (And even my betta fish) They were extremely well taken care of and it was clear that they truly enjoyed having Day stay with them while I was out of town. Day went above and beyond in their care, AND the care of my home/patio plants as when I left town, the area was hit with about 5 days of bad storms! Day took my patio plants off their stands so they wouldn’t blow over and then placed them back. 100% hope to have Day house/dog sit for us again in the future. Thank you!”

“Carrie is absolutely fabulous! She took care of our puppy in our home and did a wonderful job. Her communication is top notch and she sent several pictures as well. Thank you Carrie for providing five star service.”

“Cara was very prompt to respond to our inquiry about taking care of our Shih Tzu. She was sweet and kind and stayed in touch with us the whole time. She is such a sweet girl. We would highly recommend her to anyone. It’s hard leaving your 11 year-old child at home but we didn’t worry about him one minute. She stayed in contact with us the whole time. She stayed at our house and left it cleaner than it was before she got there. We felt very trusting of her Thank you sweet Cara. Harlee Ray had so much fun with your visit. He hopes that she’ll come back soon to stay with him. He told us he was not bad that he was a good boy. Thank you again for taking care of our precious Precious Angel. So this is a review for her.”

“Jennifer was fantastic! She looked after our mini labradoodle and cat at our home for 4 nights during the holiday weekend. Both our dog and our cat loved her, and our house was super clean when we got home. We loved getting the daily pics and updates from her as well. Highly recommend booking Jennifer for house sitting!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.

“Lauren made our first time using Rover a great experience. Our dog was very comfortable and well cared for. We will definitely be asking her to stay with our dog again.”

About: I absolutely love animals and have been taking care of pets since i was about 10 years old! I have experience with all types of dogs, from seniors to young puppies through working with rescues and I have had over 10 foster dogs who I have helped to find homes. I have also aided in training for rescue dogs of all different backgrounds, including issues with separation, anxiety, crate, potty, and obedience training. Outside of the rescue I also have regular pet sitting clients whose pups I have watched for over 5 years and absolutely love! I also have volunteered with Cats Angels in Fernandina Beach and have experience fostering litters of kittens and stray cats. I am back on Amelia Island for the summer but during the school year I attend Florida State University where I am actively involved in the dog rescue Champ’s Chance and it has taught me so much about working with all types and personalities of pups! I am currently working part time and my only set hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8am to 12pm, outside of those hours my time is free to be spent with your pets! I am very active and love to go for walks or runs if that is something your pup would like to join me in (usually in the early morning or evenings to avoid that Florida heat!). I have reliable transportation and love to spend time petting, playing, and just lounging around with any animal. I am able to care for pets in their home however needed! I have experience with a variety of medical needs and activity levels, and can do frequent visits, park outings, or stay in your home if that’s what you and your pet are most comfortable with.

“Charity and her husband, Jeff, took great care of our dog! Our dog is suffering from a progressive disease that has affected his hind legs. He is only able to stand with the use of his dog wheels. He also requires oral medication twice a day. I had contacted Charity last minute after an unsuccessful overnight stay at a kennel. At our meet and greet, I could tell she was a person that loves dogs, and George took to her instantly! When we returned home George was happy and not stressed at all. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my fur baby!”

“Willow did a great job watching our 14 year old cockapoo the two days while we were out golfing. Very reliable and professional. Great communication. Highly recommend and will be using her help again on our next trip to Amelia Island.”

“First time using this app and using a dog sitter I didn't know. I felt very at ease knowing Katelyn was here to take care of Montana for 8 days. We came back to a clean house and a VERY happy dog!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have an 5 month old puppy of my own. Through both personal experience and daily care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and households with multiple dogs. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, reinforcing basic training, administering oral medications, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience caring for high energy dogs and dogs with separation anxiety, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I am available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays, after 6 PM on Tuesdays, before 4 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and after 5 PM on Sundays. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely play, run, and get their energy out. I also have a gentle, friendly puppy who enjoys the company of other dogs and can help provide social interaction if your dog is comfortable with that. My puppy is crate trained, and I am fully comfortable following your preferences when it comes to crate training, including crating your dog if that is part of their normal routine or what you prefer. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect your space and maintain your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. I also focus on keeping your pet calm and comfortable by giving them attention, companionship, and a familiar routine, especially for pets with anxiety or who are shy. My goal is to create a safe, stress free environment whether your pet is staying with me or I am caring for them in your home.

“This was our first time with Nicole watching our 3 goldens. She was very good with them and they really love her. Definitely will be utilizing her again. Looking forward to being able to travel again 😁”

As the owner of Island Tails Pet Care and a lifelong pet lover, I schedule my days around providing dependable, personalized care. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Trust, reliability, and attention to detail are the foundation of every visit.

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!

About: I have had one dog for 4+ years, and another dog for 2+. I have dedicated a lot of my life since getting my two dogs as far as training them, taking them on long walks, playing with them, and most importantly, loving them and giving them all the attention they need and deserve. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of dogs because I currently do not have another job! I prefer to work early in the morning/afternoon. At my home, there is a lot of space for my doggies to run around because there is a park right outside my door which is great! They also have their own play space inside.

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.

“Chrissy did a great job watching Olive! Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we could tell Olive was loved and had the best time with Chrissy’s family. We got lots of adorable pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away — no worries at all. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Chrissy again. Highly recommend!”
