I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!

Rae was amazing! I forgot to put on my pet’s profile that he can’t be left with bones (he likes to eat any toys I get him), and she offered to drive back to my home and put it back into our toy crate. She was extremely communicative and kind, and provided me with pictures of my dogs every time she stopped in, which was so appreciate while on my trip. I would recommend Rae for any and all services, and if she’s available in the future I plan on asking her to take care of my fur babies every time I’m out of town

Jenna is our go-to drop in sitter. She communicates effectively, sends great photos, and always cares for our cats as if we are home. Most recently, we had some issues with a medication delivery and Jenna went and picked up the medication for us and paid for it out of her own pocket. She is excellent as a sitter and I could not recommend her more.

I had a last minute trip out of town and the sitter that I typically use was out of town as well. I took a chance on this lovely couple and they were phenomenal. Not only did they jump into action and take a brand new client last minute, but they did not disappoint. My animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.

I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.

Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.

Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!
