“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”

“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 ❤️”


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).
“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!”

“Bella had a blast playing with the other dogs. Megan took her for walks and sent pictures and updates during her stay. It was very reassuring that Bella loved being with Megan.”

“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.”


“Wendy was amazing with my sweet dog! My baby stayed with her 10 days. Wendy sent me pictures daily. I could tell by these pictures that my baby felt at home and very comfortable with her. I highly recommend Wendy, she’s very caring and attentive. I already booked again with her. Thank you so much Wendy, you’re the best!🙏🩷🐶🌷”


“McKensie is simply the best cat sitter in my book. She takes exceptional care of your furry family members and gives you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Caring, dependable, and professional, she treats your pets as if they were her own. Working with her has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your pet children, you couldn’t ask for better hands than McKensie’s. Highly recommended!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience with Kelly! I can’t say enough great things about Kelly! She took care of my dog for two weeks while I was out of town, and it was honestly the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had. From the very first message, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. Throughout the entire stay, Kelly sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how my pup was doing — from days playing in the barn and updates on behavior and feeding, to the adorable moments that made us smile every day. It was so reassuring to know my dog was not only safe but truly LOVED and cared for. When I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised and well-loved. Kelly even went above and beyond by tidying up and washing my dog’s things to be returned nice and fresh for our return home. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to animals, Kelly is the one! I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future — and I can’t recommend her highly enough. 🐾💛”

“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.”

“Andrea is great! She’s an excellent communicator and was wonderful and loving with my two active dogs. They got so much exercise in and trusted Andrea for sure. For their few chill moments, Andrea ensured they had several places to snuggle up in, whether that was by her feet, in her lap, on a blanket surrounded by toys, or in a safe space from home. She followed my care instructions well and asked questions when needed. I know they had the best time and would be more than happy to stay again. Thanks, Andrea!!”

“Christian was amazing! From all the picture and video updates, to her updating me on how my baby Kayo was doing, how good he was, and she even took him out to a park for walks! Christian treated my furbaby like he was her own, down to her cooking my baby boy some food! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve booked with other people before but I have never felt this secure with leaving my baby! If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to book with her because I promise you, your furbaby will be in the best care. Thank you so much for loving on Kayo, he seemed sad to leave his new friends lol. We will definitely be booking again!”

“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 ❤️!”

“Charlayda is amazing! She is kind, caring, super observant of Rex at the meet and greet and intuitively understood him. She had him for 3 days and always sent us pics and videos and we could see how much he was enjoying it.”

“I would definitely recommend Patti to any pet parent that wants their fur baby taken care of like they were family. Patti had great follow up & made sure I had plenty of photos and videos of my boy Flex. She made sure to communicate anything he needed promptly. Top of my list if/when I need someone to watch him in the future.”

“We could not be more thrilled with how well our sweet Stella was cared for and loved! We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away, which made being away from our girl easier. We are so very thankful to have found Katie to love our precious pup while we were away! <3”

“Jerome was awesome with the pups. He probably had more fun than they did!! I will continue to board with Jerome. He clearly cares for and enjoys having boarders.”

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!
