About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”

“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”

“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”

“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”

Rachel M.

“Great first experience with Wendy. Chewy had a great time staying with her. He was freshly bathed with a cute bandana when we picked him up. He got a care bear toy too. We really appreciate it. Chewy came home happy and well taken care of. We also love the pictures we received during his stay! We’ll definitely book again. Highly recommend! Thank you so much, Wendy! ❤️”

“Charlayda was absolutely wonderful with our big puppy! She was extremely professional and communicative. We were showered with pictures and videos during Leo's stay, and were grateful for the updates. Not only was he well cared for, judging from the happy pics/videos, he was on vacation!! He seemed to have picked up some GOOD habits while he was in her care too. I recommend Charlayda 100%”

Yalundia M.

“Highly recommend Marlena! She was great about making my BIG babies feel comfortable (my female has really bad separation anxiety & immediately connected with Marlena!) She was great about sending updates and very communicative, it was so nice to leave my pups (without worry) for a weekend out of town! We will definitely be booking with Marlena & Phil again! Thanks so much for loving my babies & making them feel safe.”

Ashlie W.

“My experience was amazing from start to finish. They were very transparent, communicative, attentive, and stayed on top of everything while caring for my dog. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they work with. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the near future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a transparent, reliable, and trustworthy sitter.”

Corey H.

“Very grateful for Rachel’s fast response to my last minute need for a pet sitter for 10 days! Rachel was super flexible to meet me and HUGS and take him into her home. She also provided picture mail updates which was a great treat! Even when my plans changed, Rachel and family willingly kept HUGS an extra unplanned night with late notice. I definitely recommend her and will be a returning client! Thanks again!”

“Cynthia always takes such great care of my girl! My dog is rather fearful and skittish, but she has no problem spending time at Cynthia’s and even snuggles with her. I will always book with her for our vacations!”

Chloe A.

“Marilyn and her family really loved on my boys & they had a great time! Their pup is also so nice and such a lover boy. The boys were well taken care of, came back home happy and relaxed whereas sometimes when I’ve gotten them from boarding, they’ve been stressed or sad. I can tell they had a good time!”

Jennifer H.

“Highly recommend. I’ve had Em watch my 3 pups on 2 occasions for more than a week and have nothing but great things to say ! My dogs ate well cared for and happy when they are there. Thanks Em!!!!”

“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away.

“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
