House Sitting in Ortega Forest, Jacksonville, FL

“Of course we had to book Robyn & Steven while we left for a week-long cruise! Our cats wouldn't have it any other way. And we always feel at ease knowing our home and fur babies are in the best hands. I even had to make some last minute changes to our schedule and Robyn was more than accommodating to my request.”

“As always, Crystal was amazing. All of her outstanding professionalism and courtesy does not compare to her loving manner with our furbabies. She is a gem. We will request her services until she gets tired of us! Thank you!”

“Awesome! I had Johana stay at my house for the weekend and came home to a clean house and happy animals! Will definitely be using Johana again! She gave me peace of mind while away from my babies”

“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”

“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Jamie was quick to fill in on a last minute request. She did a same day meet n greet and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. She sent photos and updates the entire time she was housesitting with our 2 dogs and gave us peace of mind that they were in great hands while we traveled.

“Sidnee was more than a dog sitter for us! We had a few house issues arise while we were away and Sidnee helped us take care of the issues while we were out of town. She stayed at our house for 4 nights watching our two active dogs! She took great care of them and left the house just as clean. We appreciate Sidnee so much!”

About: Hi, I'm Jess and I have a deep love for animals, they have always been one of the greatest joys in my life! My very first job, at just 11 years old, was walking all the dogs in my neighborhood. Every birthday wish I made as a kid was for a dog of my own, and when I turned 12, my mom finally blessed me with my baby, Toto. Even at that young age, I cared for him with so much love, nurture, and responsibility. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, ferrets, horses, goats, and all kinds of animals. Whether it’s going on long walks, cleanup, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, with lots of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make life a little easier for both of you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day as well as evenings. I love incorporating time with animals and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific needs and routine. When I’m caring for your baby(ies), I always make sure to respect both the pet’s routine, demeanor, boundaries, and the owner’s space. Whether I’m at your home or mine, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would with you. I’ll follow any instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving extra cuddles. Your pet will feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. When they’re with me, they’ll be treated like family. I’ll give them all the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve, while making sure they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed. My goal is always to make them feel at home, wherever they are.

“Nikki was wonderful with our two small dogs..she is sincere in her care and patience and willingness to adjust with a picky eater! We are going to use her again in the very near future! We HIGHLY recommend her!!!”

“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”

“Pam was AMAZING with our 2 cats and our dog. We had her stay at our house and she was the perfect sitter. We had flight issues and she had no problem extending her stay for another night. It is scary leaving your pets, but Pam put our minds at ease! We will definitely be using her again (:”

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!

“Carine was extremely helpful and attentive to our pets while we were away on our trip. She sent photos and kept us posted the whole time. One of our dogs is daily medicated for seizures and she made sure to give her the medicine everyday. Will book with her again 100%!!!”

“Sophie & Ryan are wonderful dog/house sitters. Our house and pup are always very clean when we get back home. They take Gonzo on little field trips and I never have to worry about him because they take great care of him. They even printed out pics of Gonzo during their adventures. Thank you both very much!”
