1. Haley S.
“Our go to person for when we can't bring our kitties on trips with us. She always gives them much needed love and attention when we physically can't. Always thankful for Haley!”
2. Meghan B.
“Meghan is the best pet sitter. She is punctual and goes above and beyond taking care of my cat. My flight back to Jacksonville was canceled and she was able to accommodate a last minute check-in. My cat really seems to love her as well which is great as my cat is wary of strangers. Would recommend 10/10!!!”

“Haley was great, she was very communicative and took special care of my dog and cat. She even offered to go above what I had reserved. Will definitely reserve with her again and recommend to friends and family.”
7. Caitlan W.
“Caitlan was such a great sitter for our cat Kylo! All he technically needed was to be fed while we were gone but she stayed and loved on him and kept him company for a little while each drop in. I really appreciate that she communicated very well and was understanding when I accidentally booked a check in while I was still home. I recommend her 100%”
8. Rae K.
“Rae was amazing with Daisy! She’s like a dog whisperer. We talked about how Daisy is reactive to other dogs and she actually got her to walk with her amazingly well behaved dog without any reaction. It was just incredible. Highly recommend Rae, she’s the best!”
9. Ashlyn H.
About: I have almost 2 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats. I am experienced with pets from around 3 months up to 15+ years. I am experienced in feeding, as well as administering both oral and topical medications to both cats and dogs. I have experience with shy, timid and anxious pets, and I have dealt with aggressive/reactive behavior. I have experience working with multiple pets at one time, walking up to 3 dogs at one time, and monitoring up to 25 dogs in a play setting at one time. I have administered first aid to dogs with clipped nails, scratched paws, minor bites from other animals, and other various small injuries, as well as sickness. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I’ve had family pets ever since I was a little kid. At one point there were 7 cats and 4 dogs being taken care of at my home, and I was relied on to help feed, bathe, and walk them. I’m an animal lover. Sometimes I feel I connect better to animals than people themselves! I can bring the energy, but I’m also responsible, patient, and can remain calm when dealing with animals that are in distress or are very hyper. I will always follow how the owner of the pet wants that pet to be treated, trained or disciplined. I’m available to walk your dogs, or do drop in visits anywhere between 6 am and 6 pm every day other than Sundays. I am starting a new job soon, so my hours may vary. I currently do not have the proper equipment or means to board any animals at the moment. However, I will follow anything the owner needs me to do when it comes to care of their animal in their own home, as well as offering all of the love I can! I will ensure the animals are fed, walked/ let out to play, and bathed if needed.

11. Jennifer J.
About: I learned a lot about pet health and care from working at a local veterinary office for several years. As a dog owner who recently lost my own sweet pup, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your furry friend. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior cat needing a little extra care, I treat every pet like family and give them the love they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to provide care wherever and whenever your pet needs it. Whether it’s drop-in visits, overnight stays, or just some extra attention, I can adjust to fit your pet’s routine and make sure they’re well taken care of, no matter the time or place. I’m flexible when it comes to care options and always follow the specific instructions you provide for your pet. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I make sure to stick to your pet’s routine and care preferences because, no one knows how to care for your pet better than you do. From feeding schedules to special instructions, I’m here to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well-loved, just like at home.

I will definitely use and her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. My house was in better condition than when I left! She kept me up to date daily each time she visited my dog. She even sent me photos of him and her playing. If you need someone to trust with your animal, no one is better than her.”
14. Kyla D.
“Kyla was amazing! She and our dog, Riley, got along really well. She was very attentive to Riley’s needs and was very quick to update us with any news! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. 10/10 would recommend”

16. Kaja J.
“Kaja’s is so patient and gentle! My big boy absolutely loved her, we will definitely be booking her again. She gave us time to get some things done without being interrupted.”
17. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa is a wonderful person. Over the 20 years I have known her, she is one of the kindest and most caring individuals you will ever meet. She has taken such wonderful care of my cat and my dog, as well as my brother’s dogs on many occasions. It is so hard to leave the pets you cherish, even for a short time, but you can rest assured that while you are away, not only will your furbabies be cared for and in good hands - but they will be loved and adored all the same.”
18. Stormi J.
About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, and more. Friends and family know me as the go-to person for pet advice and rehoming support. With years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m a stay at home mom which makes me available to care for animals full time, I’m not away from animals for more than a two hour time - but only if we need a store trip. Our home is fully fenced in, the animals will never be outside or alone with my children unattended. We only take animals from one family at a time.
