House Sitting in Ortega Forest, Jacksonville, FL

“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”

Ashley S.

“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.”

About: I've had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, even gerbils — and animals have always just… gotten me. I'm the person who ends up on the floor with your dog ten minutes after arriving somewhere, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm Ben, a Jacksonville resident with a calm, patient energy and a lot of genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like they're the most important creature in the room — because honestly, they usually are. I understand that handing your pet to someone is an act of trust. I don't take that lightly. You'll get updates, photos, and an honest account of how your pet did. No sugarcoating, no drama — just real care. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats who need their space respected, and the occasional small animal who just needs someone who won't freak out. Your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed — not just watched. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm reliable: if I say I'll be there, I'll be there. I communicate proactively if anything changes, which in my experience is what pet owners actually need most. I'm a calm, quiet presence. No loud energy, no chaos. Animals tend to relax around me quickly probably because I'm genuinely more interested in them than most things happening in a room. I'm comfortable with cats who need their space, dogs who need reassurance, and the full spectrum in between.

“Always love having Pam watch the boys. They are always well taken care of and content in their home environment. Sends plenty of photos and keeps us updated!”

About: I have walked pets since I was 10 year olds, and absolutely love taking care of animals of any kind! I am very experienced in pet care of any kind, including walking and pet-sitting. I love to give love to your pets as just as I do with my own!! As of the moment, I am free at all times of the day, so I am extremely flexible. This will change, as I am awaiting details for my next job. While my apartment is not pet-friendly at the moment, I am able to travel to any client's home. If there are any special needs that your pets need, please let me know!

“Many is such a wonderful person and we appreciate the love and care she provided to our four dogs at our home while we were away. We had a meet and greet before our departure and the dogs took to her right away! She provided us with updates letting us know if anything seemed off and when everyone was getting along well while we were away. The next trip we take, Mandy is going to be the first person we call. Thank you again for your help!”

“Evan is incredible! He watched our two pups Oreo and sukie for the evening. Sukie can be skeptical of new humans and immediately loved him. He provided great care, updates, and left my house as clean as he found it. I would 10/10 recommend him again.”

Jessica G.

“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”

Heather B.

“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

About: Just trying to offer affordable care for pets, while I usually work from home. If youre looking to board over 5 days, ask for a promotional discount, for even bigger savings! I've been caring for pets all my life and know the importance of a loving home. Whether its dogs, cats, birds, fish, bunnies, I know the attention they require. I work from home and I have great space to dedicate to visitors. The neighborhood is great for walks to a number of parks within just blocks Indoor space just for pets is ample, I have a great yard, and I am close to parks. Your pets will get the attention they need, inside or out, depending on your preferences.

About: What sets me apart: I bring the same reliability and attention to detail that I've built across 15+ years of professional work directly into every pet care engagement. Whether I'm following a detailed care routine for a senior dog on medication, reinforcing training cues for a young pup, or simply keeping anxious pets calm and comfortable while their people are away, I treat every animal like they're my own responsibility, because to your family, they are. What clients consistently come back to is trust. I've been granted unsupervised access to private homes and valuables across Jacksonville and Charleston for years, with zero incidents and a referral network built entirely on word-of-mouth. I don't just show up, I follow your instructions precisely, communicate proactively, and return your home exactly as you left it. I'm especially comfortable with: - Senior pets requiring medication schedules and low-stress routines - High-energy or highly trained dogs who need structure and consistency, not just a walk - Multi-pet households with varied species and care needs - Extended stays where full household management (mail, plants, security checks) is part of the job If you're looking for someone who treats pet sitting as a professional commitment rather than a side gig, I'd love to care for your family. Pet care isn't something I fit around my day — it's something I build my day around. I currently work part-time with full control over my schedule, which means your pet's walk times, feeding windows, and care routines come first. Every time. I plan my week intentionally, blocking time for client visits before scheduling anything else. Whether you need consistent midday walks or a sitter who will keep your home running smoothly while you're away, I treat your routine like a standing commitment — not a favor. Flexible, reliable, and always on time. Your pets won't know you're gone. At my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, structured environment. I have a securely fenced yard and a 65-lb rescue who has been consistently trained and socialized — he loves other dogs and makes a great host. I'm thoughtful about introductions, so I'll always want to know your dog's temperament and history before confirming a stay. Your pet's comfort comes before convenience. My experience with dogs spans a lifetime, not just a job listing. I was raised alongside Pekingese from puppyhood all the way through end-of-life care, so I understand what devoted, long-term companionship actually looks like. I've also lived with a highly active, strictly regimented Australian Cattle Dog, so high-drive, routine-dependent dogs don't intimidate me. They just require respect, consistency, and follow-through. In your home, I operate the same way: I follow your routines precisely, keep your space exactly as you left it, and treat every instruction like it matters, because it does.

“Hailee was so sweet and kept great care of my Great Danes while we were away! She was incredibly communicative and sent great pictures. She also kept my home in wonderful shape!”

Sammy D.

“Hands down she was the best rover doggie/house sitter we’ve had. Her communication was great and she was very attentive to our two doggies. She gave them lots of play time. We ran into an issue with our flights and got stuck an additional night out of town and Hannah was very willing to work with us and she helped us out tremendously! I would highly recommend Hannah and we would definitely like to have her sit for us again.”

Fred B.

“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!”

Megan M.

“Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.”

Jenni R.

“Charles did a great job with Koda as usual. He has become my first call if planning a trip out of town. I appreciate that I can trust him with my home as well as my old devil.”
