“Pam is the absolute best. It is clear she genuinely loves and cares for all animals especially dogs. She loves my dog Luna like one of her own.

I couldn’t recommend a better person to take care of my Luna.”

11. Scarlett M.

“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”


12. Christian G.

“I would HIGHLY recommend using Christian as your pet sitter! She updates you throughout her entire stay, she answers your questions and she is respectful of your belongings. We got an unexpected package while we were gone and she brought it into the house for us. My dogs looked so comfortable with her being there while we were not. I wasn't sure about using Rover but after this experience with Christian I will recommend it to my friends with pets, and if my friends live in the area Christian is who I would recommend. My dogs did not have to leave their place of comfort, what is better than that? She will work with you and pays attention to your pets while she is there. If you want an animal lover to watch your pets and give them lots of attention and love, choose Christian!!”


13. Rae K.

“Rae has done amazing with my pup Baxter. She always communicates with me and makes sure he’s taken care of. She makes sure he gets his exercise and brings over furry friends to play with him. Definitely recommend her!”


14. Joseph & Reanaleena W.
“Joseph is quite the dog lover!! He really has a way with them, I could tell right off the bat. He is very comfortable natural and confident when meeting a new dog. He cared very well for my dog, followed my feeding instructions, and sent me pictures.”


15. Brittney N.
About: With 10 plus years of experience, I’ve cared for household pets to zoo animals—providing daily feeding, cleaning, and enrichment to support their health and well-being. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, involving scheduled feeding, cleaning, exercise, and enrichment to ensure that all my animals stay healthy and happy. I follow consistent routines tailored to each pet’s needs—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, administering medication if needed, cleaning living spaces, and offering exercise, affection, and mental stimulation. In clients’ homes, I maintain their standards and routines to ensure pets feel secure and cared for.


16. Nicole J.
About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds, but primarily cats and dogs. I am open to various kinds of animals! I have experience with feeding, playing, grooming pets, as well as, giving individualized attention as needed. I currently have flexible availability during the week and am free weekends. I would love to chat about your needs and see if my availability aligns! I can feed and change litter boxes. Take your pet out for a walk. I can also crate and provide comfort. Depending on how medication has to be administered, I am also able to do that.

18. Stormi J.
About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, and more. Friends and family know me as the go-to person for pet advice and rehoming support. With years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m a stay at home mom which makes me available to care for animals full time, I’m not away from animals for more than a two hour time - but only if we need a store trip. Our home is fully fenced in, the animals will never be outside or alone with my children unattended. We only take animals from one family at a time.


19. Toree D.

“Thank you Toree for taking such great care of our fur baby! Toree provided daily drop in visits for our cat while we were on vacation and was incredibly helpful and responsive. We really enjoyed the sweet pictures and fun stories each day. 100% recommend Toree for any pet care needs! Very fun, considerate, and kind. <3”


20. Katrina W.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs to birds to cats. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique quirks and traits! I work a part time job on the weekends only so I’ll have the entire week for availability! Just about any time works and I’m very open. My services will of course vary depending on your specifications for how you would like your animal to be taken care of, but my utmost concern would be making sure their needs are met.
