About: I have owned dogs ever since I was a little kid. I currently have 3 dogs who are all great dogs. I am currently a teacher but like hanging out with dogs in my spare time. I have worked for a dog boarding facility for 5 years and have all the training needed to care for your pups! I am a full time teacher but wake up extra early to walk the dogs. When I am at work the dogs will spend time inside I have a fenced in back yard where your dogs could spend time playing. I do not allow dogs to stay outside while I am gone
About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! While I’m currently a full-time college student at Samford University, during the summer months when school is not in session, I find myself having more free-time than usual to care for pets I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Tracy is the best pet sitter ever! She and her husband agreed to take care of my dogs Skar and Andy. Although Skar is a very territorial dog and not very friendly with new people. Tracy gave him all the love to earn his trust! Andy on the other hand, is a very loving dog and found a lot of love in Tracy! If you are thinking about hiring someone to care for your pets, Tracy is the perfect person you can trust!”
About: I’m an animal lover and enthusiast who has grown up taking care of all types of pets and worked in the veterinary medicine industry since I was 17 years old. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds, and because of my job I am comfortable administering medication of all types, including injections. I’m also very willing to work with the more “troublesome” pets. I’m currently in school getting my veterinary technician certification and need help making some extra money on the side. I hope you consider me to take care of and love your fur babies❤️ I currently work part time at a vet clinic and my Classes are usually done by early afternoon so I will have more than enough time to take care of your fur babies as needed. With my working background I am comfortable with any food restrictions, medications, walking, crating, and care your pet may need to be happy and comfortable. I will make sure to give meds, food, and specific care instructions extra attention as needed.
“Loved having Falisia watch our girls! She is friendly and thoughtful, and we felt comfortable having her in our home with our dogs. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: In my life I have had many dog sitting experiences, I have my own dogs & cats! I have watched dogs as small as 10 pounds to dogs as big as 80 pounds or over, I have a very special place in my heart for any & all animals! I’m currently working part time & am a full time student at Jacksonville University! My school schedule is very short only 3 classes in person & the rest are online, I’m looking to leave my part time job to make this my new part time! I have experience with crated dogs & not crated dogs, however you choose to care for your babies will be how I take care of them.

About: Though I don’t have formal experience, I genuinely love animals and spend a lot of my free time with my brother and sister-in-law’s dog—my “nephew-dog”—who I absolutely adore. Whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping him company, caring for him has been one of the highlights of my downtime. Hi! I’m a quiet, responsible grad student who loves animals and enjoys helping people. I’m currently offering house sitting and pet sitting services as a way to earn extra income while supporting those who need a trustworthy presence while they travel for work or vacation. I genuinely enjoy calm, peaceful environments and pride myself on being respectful of others’ spaces. While I may not have years of experience, I have a natural sense of care and attention to detail whether it’s making sure your pets are safe and happy, watering plants, or simply keeping your home in good order.

About: I understand how much pets mean to their owners, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. I'm patient, reliable, and mindful of each pet's unique needs, making sure they always feel safe and comfortable while you're away!! I'm currently in school Wednesday through Friday, but I'm available for pet care from Friday night through Tuesday night. This gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets while you're gone. When caring for pets, I follow their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they're fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention. I keep the home clean, respect house rules, and provide updates so owners can feel at ease.

8. Kayla M.
“I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Kayla Morrow as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Kayla possesses a deep, genuine love for all of God’s creatures, and her life is a testament to her dedication to animal care and respect for nature. Throughout the years, Kayla has cared for a wide variety of animals, including farm animals and exotic pets. She has raised goats, chickens, ducks, and even pheasants, demonstrating her ability to manage the diverse needs of different species. Her experience also extends to reptiles—she has owned geckos, an albino boa, a rattlesnake, a copperhead, and several other reptiles. This breadth of experience speaks volumes about her confidence, knowledge, and calm demeanor around animals of all kinds. Kayla’s compassion doesn’t end at her home. She’s the kind of person who will stop her car in the middle of the road to rescue a turtle or gently guide a snake to safety. Her respect for life, no matter how small or misunderstood, truly sets her apart. In short, Kayla Morrow is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and extraordinarily kind-hearted. Anyone entrusting their animals to her care can rest easy knowing they are in loving, capable hands.”

Alyssa has worked with an animal rescue and several vet clinics for many years, which makes her extremely cool, calm, and capable of handling many different types of situations that may arise when caring for pets, including acute medical emergencies and geriatric animals. She is not afraid of a challenge in the field of animal care and is very attuned to the animals' comfort level and happiness. She has knowledge and skills in the field of animal care that most people do not possess. She has been involved in loving on, caring for, and medicating animals since she was very young. I couldn't think of anyone I would feel safer leaving my pets with.”
