“I highly recommend Ruth if you need someone to watch your dog while you are away! She was very professional and she provided daily updates with pictures/videos of my little dude! Your pet will be in great hands!”

“Emily was great! She house sat for us and took great care of our very active Boykin Spaniel. She sent me pictures everyday we were gone and came home to a clean house. Would definitely use her again!”

“Hannah was great! We just moved down and have no family or friends to help watch our 3 dogs. I messaged Hannah and she responded quickly and professionally. She came to meet the dogs and we felt very comfortable with her. While we were out of town, she messaged us several times with updates and pics. We really appreciated the communication and our dogs were very happy when we got home. Thanks Hannah, we will definitely be booking again!”


“Olivia was absolutely wonderful with Dobby. She kindly accepted our booking at very short notice, which we really appreciated, and was extremely punctual throughout. Communication was seamless - she was very responsive and easy to coordinate with at every step. Most importantly, she had such a warm and caring attitude towards Dobby, and he liked her instantly, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear she is a genuinely kind and trustworthy person. We would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. Next time we are out of town, we would definitely love for her to look after Dobby again. Thank you, Olivia!”

About: I have taken care of and loved pets my whole life, and have lots of experience with pet sitting as well including puppies and seniors. Experience includes feeding, walking, overnight stays, bathing, and administering any necessary medications that are part of their regimen. My promise is to provide quality care for your pet while you’re away, communication, and lots of belly scratches and love. I currently work full-time during the week. My availability is mostly weekdays after 5:30 and weekends. If needed on a Friday before 5:30, we can arrange something with enough notice. I can take care of your pet in your home, or do drop-ins when needed if it fits within my current availability. I can do whatever you need for your pet’s care and normal routine.
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
“Scott was wonderful! He was very communicative, took lots of photos, followed our instructions, and left our home neat and tidy. We would not hesitate to book him again!”

“We needed someone at the last minute for Lucy and Bean, and reached out to Jessica. She was prompt responding and accepting. She arrived on time, asked important questions about the girls, and sent us photos during the 4 hour period. She was flexible (we were delayed by 30 minutes). Overall very happy with Jessica. Lucy and Bean are anxious but sweet dogs and they did fine with her. 100 % will rebook!”

“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”

“Sarah is our families go-to when it comes watching our two dogs. We prefer to have someone stay at our house with them and she is always willing and able as long as she’s not booked! Love her and trust her to oth our house and pups!”


“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

“Hannah was absolutely amazing! We had booked her somewhat last minute for a holiday weekend but she was nothing but kind and accommodating. She kept us regularly updated with how the dogs were doing, and they seemed to have a great time playing catch and keep away! Definitely recommend booking with Hannah and we will be asking her to take care of the pups on our next vacation.”

“Bella was great! She communicated well throughout the weekend and sent lots of pics. It sounds like my dog had a great time! She also followed up at the end of the visit before she left, since I was getting home after she was heading out. Thank you again, I will definitely book Bella again!”

“Diana was great. This is the first time we’ve left our mini dachshund with anyone other than family. She sent pictures and communicated with us throughout our trip. I recommend her highly and will book her again for future needs.”

Kelly did a wonderful job house-sitting for our two pups over a long weekend. She kept us apprised throughout the weekend with wonderful updates and pictures as well. She took great care of the house, and we felt safe knowing our pups were in good hands. We can't wait to use Kelly's services again soon!

Laura was wonderful with our Lab who has pretty considerable separation anxiety. We felt safe and comfy leaving on a long road trip knowing she was there with him, and he was happy as a clam on our return. Calm and happy-a good indication he wasn’t overstressed during our trip. She provided photos and great communication. We look forward to booking her services again!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs and cat received! From the very beginning, Olivia was professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. It gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in such loving and capable hands while i was away. I loved getting regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and comfortable they were. It was obvious they were treated like family, not just “pets being watched.” When I came home, my animals were relaxed, happy, and their routines had clearly been maintained perfectly. The apartment was also spotless and well cared for. I truly appreciate the extra effort, patience, and genuine love shown to my fur babies. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter. I will absolutely be booking again!

Scott was AMAZING!!!! He communicated throughout our entire trip and sent pictures of their twice daily walks. Gypsy did not miss her humans one bit:) The house was as clean as when I left it. I could not even tell he had stayed here! So glad we found Scott, it makes it much easier leaving town knowing Gypsy is in such loving and capable hands.
This was our first time using Hannah and she was wonderful. She remembered all the things we discussed at our initial meet and greet and kept us updated with texts and photos. She is caring, responsible and we felt very comfortable leaving her with our pup. We will certainly be using her again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Monique was absolutely amazing with Bentley! From the moment we connected, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. She treated Bentley like he was her own — making sure he was safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for the entire time. She kept me updated, followed instructions perfectly, and truly went above and beyond. I had complete peace of mind knowing Bentley was in such good hands, which means everything to me. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her role seriously. I’m so grateful for Monique and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Bentley adored her, and I will absolutely be booking with her again!
