Pet Sitting Southside

“Erika was so great! This was my first time leaving my boy alone and I wouldn’t leave him with just anyone. She made the whole process easy and provided me such peace of mind. She was very attentive, gentle and patient with him. He’s a more laid back dog and requires more pets and love than anything and I could tell he got that! I would very much recommend her and would totally request her again! Thank you so much!!”

“I wish I could give Katrina 100 ?s! She was absolutely the best dog sitter for my 2 special ones! ? ? She gave my collie girl all the loving she could while taking special care of my 17 yr. old Jack Russell, who does not like to eat when I'm not home! Katrina knows all the tricks! She was also in constant contact with me to ease MY separation anxiety! Lol. I trust her completely and have already recommended her to my friends and family. You rock girl!”

“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”

About: My day job is as a wildlife biologist, and I have worked with everything from Japanese giant salamanders to gopher tortoises. I have watched pets for neighbors and friends for years and love dogs especially! I am free in evenings (5pm or later) and weekends pretty consistently (I work full time as a wildlife biologist during the day). Happy with long or short walks, even on hot days. I don't have any pets at home right now, but I am comfortable with a wide variety of animals. I am skilled at reading animal body language and always strive to make pets feel safe.

“Gracie did a great job with my two kitties. They loved her and took to her right away. We will be calling her next time we are out of town. We loved the peace of mind knowing someone reliable was watching out for them.”

About: I have grown up having pets and over the years house sat or taken care of many family, friends and church family pets. Love to play with them as well!! I am more available in the evenings and weekends. I have the flexibility to help out when and where I can when needed as well. I treat other people pets as if they were my own and would care for them the same way. My home is clean and safe and do what it takes to keep your pet safe too.

“Great communication and no issues. It was easy to book. Pictures and info were provided!”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around dogs and spent nearly 16 years caring for my own two dogs, Ollie and Peaches, throughout their lives. I also had a dwarf hamster named Chestnut for two years. Today, I have a Border Collie named Shelby who keeps me very familiar with the energy, attention, attachment, and activity that can come with caring for an active dog! I also grew up around my grandmother’s many dogs, so being surrounded by animals and learning their different personalities has always felt very natural to me. Today, I regularly care for other people’s dogs and cats and have recently cared for as many as 10 different pets in a single month, including several that I care for every week. Because I’ve cared for such a variety of pets, I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I like to joke that I’m a bit of a “pet whisperer” because animals tend to warm up to me very quickly, even when they’re normally hesitant around new people. I’ve had several owners tell me they were surprised by how quickly their pet connected with me or showed affection toward me when that isn’t something they normally do with strangers. I never force an interaction and always let pets approach me and get comfortable at their own pace. I’m very calm and at peace when I’m around animals and I think they sense that about me. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether they need walks and playtime, lots of attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I treat every animal I look after with the same love and attention I would give my own. Pet care is currently a big part of my daily routine, which gives me plenty of flexibility to accommodate different schedules. I’m a night owl, so I’m especially available in the afternoons, evenings, and late at night. I regularly care for several pets throughout the week and am happy to work around their usual routines whenever possible. My availability is more limited on Wednesday afternoons and evenings, but I'd be happy to try to make it work! Otherwise, my schedule is very flexible. I always follow each pet parent’s instructions and do my best to keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home and pay close attention to feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other specific care instructions you provide. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level so they can feel safe and relaxed with me. I'm happy to provide updates and I tend to send photos or videos during my visits so owners can have peace of mind while you’re away. I'm also very used to owners having cameras in their homes and am perfectly comfortable with that!

About: I have been caring for pets for several years, helping close friends by providing dependable and loving care for their animals whenever they needed it. Through this experience, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and to follow each pet's unique routine. I'm also a proud pet owner myself, with one beautiful dog named Luna and three cats—Wedge, Benimaru, and Ainz. Caring for my own pets every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., which leaves me available during mornings, afternoons, evenings after work, and all day on Sundays and Mondays. I make pet care a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and favorite activities. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. In addition to caring for my own black Labrador, Raven, I provide house sitting, dog walking, and pet care for clients in Jacksonville 32207 and surrounding areas. My experience includes dogs of different sizes and personalities, from little pugs to golden retrievers and Labs. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Whether your pup enjoys an active walk, a leisurely sniff, playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to suit them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to give your pet attentive, dependable care - and give you peace of mind. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, both with my own Labrador, Raven, and the dogs I care for. I plan bookings around my existing commitments so I can give each pet attentive care. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and scheduling needs before confirming a booking. I take the trust you place in me seriously. Before caring for your pet, I like to discuss their routines, temperament, leash manners, and any special needs. I follow your care instructions, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and respect your home. I’ll provide photos and updates so you can feel connected while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Carly, and I have around 15 years of dog sitting experience. I'm a 28-year-old young professional. I have my own dog at home named Cato, a 7-year-old lab/pit/husky. My dog sitting experience ranges from puppies to older dogs as well as any size from Chihuahuas to St. Bernards. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to devote to your dog. I work from home so I am able to spend all day with your pup. You never have to worry about if your dog is in good hands, I treat every dog as my own. Let’s chat and determine if I am a good fit for you and your dog. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home so I am able to be home all day every day with your fur baby! My goal is to keep their routine as similar as possible to what they’re already used to. I treat every pet and home as my own. I understand (from personal experience) how nervous you can be when leaving your fur baby with someone new. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible!

“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”

“Tayler did an awesome job with our cat when we were out for a week! We were sent some cute pics and she was able to give our cat his inhaler. 10/10”

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.

“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!”

About: I love all animals, big and small! Whether I need to make sure they don't pee on everything or chew up the house I can provide support and attention to your pup! I have a puppy myself so I know how difficult it can get. Regardless of age, weight or breed they all need a little company! I work out alot so if your pup is a runner or just requires a lot of exercise I can tire them out. Or if they just need a cuddle buddy I'm there too! I can handle any dietary restrictions, medical needs or just little quirks if needed. I also know CPR just in case it's ever needed. I love spending time with dogs (and cats) as much as I can!

About: I have 5 decades of experience with my own pets and sitting for many neighbors and friends pets. I believe everyone has that one pet that has stolen their heart. For me that was Nalah, our Chorkie for over a decade. I’m recently retired and have a lot of availability. This is in addition to having a huge love for animals. They are the best. All my neighborhood cats and dogs come to me when I walk the hood. I have a fenced yard and am on guard when pets are outside. I provide constant supervision inside and out. You can rest assured that with me a safe environment is a priority!
