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.

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!

Robyn and Steven were so so amazing. Not only did they keep me updated on all their fun with our two babies, but they left our place nicer than they found it. We are already booking with them again! :)

Cathryn was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. She took very good care of them -- meals, treats and dog walking. There was plenty of snuggle time, too. She left an immaculate house. We will definitely ask Cathryn to sit for us again. Fortunate to have her! Thanks Cathryn!

About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I currently do not work so I am available any day or time throughout the week and weekend. I have no preference for time of day or time of night. While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available

Cindy was amazing with our pup! I was nervous leaving him with a new person as I have never done so before and she completely eliminated my worries. She sent regular updates on how he was doing with pictures. It helped that she was able to stay at our place too so he could be home where he is most comfortable. Will definitely book her again for future needs and recommend!! 🩵

About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!

About: What sets me apart from other pet caregivers is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to provide individualized care, attention, and comfort. I am dependable, patient, and focused on creating a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I am currently trying to become a full time animal caregiver. My schedule currently is wide open Monday through Saturday for sittings, walks, and more! If you leave instructions each thing will be followed to the tee. Any issues or anything at all you will get a text or call.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my real-life experience caring for them through every stage of life. I’ve owned and cared for three dogs of my own, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with medical needs. I cared for my own senior dog through cancer treatments, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important gentle, consistent care is for older pets. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and giving extra attention to pets that may need a slower pace or additional comfort. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I make sure they feel safe and at home while you’re away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. After retiring from corporate America, I now have the time and flexibility to dedicate my attention to caring for pets and making sure they receive the love and consistency they need. Because I have an open and flexible schedule, I’m able to follow each pet’s routine closely, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or simply spending quality time with them so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals, so pet care is something I look forward to and prioritize each day. My availability allows me to be attentive, dependable, and responsive to both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any special care directions exactly as provided. I spend quality time with each pet through walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so they feel relaxed and cared for in their own environment. For cats and kittens, I make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding schedules are followed, and they receive gentle interaction and monitoring. Because pets often feel most comfortable in their own home, I take extra care to keep their environment calm and consistent. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Madeline took SUCH amazing care of my dog when I got caught in a bind and we needed house sitting for the weekend. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup! She kept me updated through the whole weekend with plenty of photos and any questions she had to best care for Bruce. If I could give 10 stars I would, and I look forward to having her back in the future!

Cindy was wonderful! She took great care of my 2 fur babies while out of the country for 2 weeks. She is a great communicator and sent us photos often with updates on how things were going. Our flight was delayed a few hours and she was willing to stay longer to ensure our dog didn’t have to wait too long for his next potty break. I highly recommend Cindy and would definitely rebook for future stays.
