“I have to say that I won't leave my dogs with anyone else while I am in Jacksonville! Kaitland took care of my dogs as if they were hers with all the love, and my dogs love her back. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”


“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”

“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”

“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”

“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”


“Wendy and her family are the best. Roy's becoming a regular with Wendy! Wendy truly cares for animals under her care and it shows. Communication and pictures daily! I would give her 6 stars if possible!”

“Kelly was an amazing host !! She couldn’t have been more accommodating and hospitable to my elderly lady dog, Lacy. Kelly’s farm residence is perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Lacy to stay while I was traveling. I would definitely recommend Kelly 🐶❤️💫”

“Megan was professional, flexible, and communicative. She individualized the care of our dog based on answers to very specific questions she asked, and although our dog is adaptable to many environments, that made us feel like she cared and wanted to give our dog a good experience. Will use her again!”


About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. Im currently unemployed and have a great support system (friends and spouse who LOVE dogs.) Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. The only times im gone are to do errands. Which isnt more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days :). Your pets safety and quality of care is very important to me. Just to describe some of the perks of boarding with me. I have a large yard thats fenced in. A spare bedroom that theyll sleep in/ or be crated in. Very spacious home they can roam freely. Theyre allowed on furniture. Can socialize with my two loving sweet dogs that are trained. Including a safe neighborhood for walks. If pet parent is not comfortable with their pup being around my pets. Ill ensure they remain seperated, as i have the ability to do so with dog gates in the home, if need be. I also have cameras to always keep an eye out (although physically id be present).
“They did an excellent job sending daily videos and photos of my dogs each night. Reported health and behavior and both of my babies were very well taken care of, thank you!”

“Hannah was really great with my senior dog and cat. She had a calm and warming presence about her and my animals were well taken care of. Will definitely ask for her on the future!”

“Charlayda is the best. I know my pup is is in great hands when I have to leave her. She is so sweet to my baby and gives lots of updates and pics/videos. For my Nova being with Charlayda is like home away from home. Thank you for being so wonderful!”

“Alicia is the best!!! My rue girl was so comfortable and felt so at home you’d think Alicia was her owner! I have never felt safe leaving rue before however this time with her being in Alicia’s care there wasn’t a worry in my mind! Definitely will be a reoccurring guest ❤️!”

“Joelyz did an amazing job watching my Yorkie, Harley, over the past few days. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. She kept me updated, showed genuine care, and made sure Harley was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly treated like family. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was with someone who truly cares about animals. I highly recommend Joelyz to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you again for taking such great care of Harley”

“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”

“Patti was wonderful with our 2 dogs! Her communication with us during our trip was so appreciated. She sent daily updates, photos and videos, which went a long way to ensure us that our pets were cared for with as much attention to detail as we would give ourselves. This made our trip so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I would most definitely recommend her for pet boarding. She’s absolutely wonderful!”

“Jatarah was very good with Blanca giving her belly rubs and even taking her for a car ride which she loves. I would definitely be leaving my fur baby with Jatarah again and would give her 10 stars ⭐️!”

Thank you Meaghan! Missy🐕 had a great time with you and Bella and new friends. From the meet and greet we knew she’ll have all your love. How we wish we’ve known you earlier. We appreciate the updates and photos. We had a worry free vacay. We’ll definitely book again our Missy with Meaghan when we go to our upcoming 2wk vacay. I highly recommend her^-^

Our family had to take an unexpected trip and Ms. Feyi O. was available and willing to help. She sent pictures and gave a detailed summary of how our puppy was doing. She has a very nice space specifically for our puppy. Without hesitation she offered to cater to our precious puppy’s needs. Definitely booking again and I know that our baby will be taken care of without any worries.

I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. My Nico (a miniature long haired dachshund) was in great hands! We got photo updates and quick responses anytime we checked in. He was always happy and taken care of! We could tell from the photos that he was having a great time. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks for loving our sweet pup!
