About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.
“Izel is excellent! He is such an easy going person, great to talk to, and great with our dogs! My youngest pup has high anxiety, but he sat down on the ground with her and she started to warm up to him. He is accommodating and understanding, definitely recommend him!”

“Kimberly is great with my animals! She follows all care instructions. She is very responsive. She has sat for me when I needed a last minute care for my dog. My normally very shy cat likes her. She normally runs and hides whenever anybody comes in. Not with Kimberly. I highly recommend her! I would gladly use her again!”

“My dog Lucy enjoyed her walk with Rebekah so much! It was great how Rebekah communicated everything with us during and after the walk. I will be booking her again and I highly recommend her for any type of dogs. My dog is 60 lbs and she handled her very well.”

“James was great with our boys. Both of our dogs absolutely loved him immediately at the meet and greet. He was awesome with the kids the 3 days we were out of town and sent plenty of pictures. He spent plenty of time with them on their walks, he gave them tons of attention, gave them treats, checked food & water bowls, etc. We will definitely hire James again in the future!!!”

“Thank you so much, Aaliyah! We were very happy with your service and the way you took care of Soda. We felt completely at ease during our absence thanks to your presence with our daughter. We truly appreciate your kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend you!”


About: Growing up, I cared for two wonderful dogs who taught me responsibility, patience, and companionship every day. One was a playful miniature poodle, and the other was a loyal cocker spaniel, each with their own unique personality and energy. Spending time feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with them helped me develop a deep appreciation for the joy dogs bring into a home. Today, I own a golden doodle that continues to strengthen my love for working with and caring for dogs. I’m currently working part-time, so there is flexibility throughout the week to care for your pup! I am also available on weekend days. I have a fully fenced in yard at home and have had crate trained dogs. I ensure that there is time to explore the outdoors!
“Stormee is awesome...She definitely has a lot experience with dogs. Our dog Baby has some trusting issues, but Stormee was able to understand Baby and went at her peace, and Baby started getting confortable with Stormee. Baby enjoyed her walk a lot and came back very happy. Thanks a lot Stormee!!!”


About: I am a high school teacher looking for work with animals! I have 2 dogs currently that love other dogs. I am active and love to take long walks and trips to the park with my own dogs. I am also very good with dogs with special needs - my chocolate lab currently takes 2 medications orally twice daily and an injection shot twice daily. Hoping to help out anyone who is in need of dog care. Being a teacher, I am very flexible with hours. I live on the southside of Jacksonville near Memorial Hospital so I am convenient to many places in town and I am willing to travel to areas just outside of Jacksonville as well. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!
“Leigh-Anne was great! My fiancé and I have unpredictable schedules were needing a dog walker on a somewhat regular basis. Leigh-Anne was fantastic at accommodating our schedules and walking our pup for us. She was great with our dog and excellent with communication. We will definitely be looking to have her as our dog walker long term!”

About: My husband Melvyn and I love dogs and were dog owners for many years. We provide lots of love, walks and playtime. Currently, we do not have our own dog, but promise to make your pet feel like he's part of the family. We have an empty nest, so there are no children in the house. I work full-time, but my husband is home during the day. We doggie sit for family members whenever we can. I prefer to do a meet and greet so your dog will feel at home when he/she is dropped off to us. This also provides the opportunity for owners to discuss the dog's preferences. We will provide daily pictures as well. Please be sure to bring along your dog's favority toy and food. I am a virtual teacher and work from home. My husband is retired. This provides us the opportunity to be with our furry friends all day! I have a fenced in yard. I love taking long walks, too. We keep plenty of toys for our own pets as well as our furry guests.
