Pet Sitting South Riverside

“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”

“Kara was incredible and we’ll definitely be booking her again! She was on time to each check in, sent lots of pictures, and sent very detailed updates. My pup was excited to have a visitor during my time out of town and I’m so glad I chose Kara to drop in with Oliver.”

About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.

“We were sooo happy with our experience Lauren, she was so easy to communicate with and took such great care of our pup. She was on time every day and sent us great updates. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Macy was the best !!!!”

Kathryn S.

“First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!”

Brooke S.

“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!”

“As always, made sure Duchess was taken care of and walked on time. Duchess had no accidents while I was gone and I did not have to worry about her while I was enjoying family time.”

Amanda E.

“Absolutely no complaints. Holly was there on time and raised no concerns. Very friendly and a reliable person to have take care of your animals. Answered and any all concerns I had.”

Rich B.

“Em was amazing for our drop in walk and feed! She was on time and the pictures and report card were thorough. We would definitely book her again when we need to!”

Kristie P.

“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

“Corey did a nice job watching after my cats. They all seemed to be comfortable around her and she was able to follow my instructions for care. We’d definitely book her again, thanks Corey!”

David T.

“Stacey is super dependable and communicative! Very thankful for the great care she took in regularly feeding our outdoor cat Zelda daily while we were out of town!!”

Kelly C.

“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!”

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!

“I was so nervous having someone else in my home that I didn't know but Jada came and met me and my zoo ahead of time. She was great and sent me photos and messages at every visit! Definitely will book with her again!!”

Kara V.

“Amy was great! She followed all the instructions for caring for our kitties and they were happy and healthy upon our return.”

Jordan R.

“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!”
