“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”

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.

“Wendy provided exceptional care for my baby, Chloe, and we will definitely be relying on her services again. She kept me updated with pictures and progress reports, gave Chloe a bath, and ensured her bedding was clean. I’m beyond pleased and incredibly grateful to have found a dog caregiver who truly loves and cares for dogs. Highly recommend!!!”

“Bogey has stayed with Edward several times now and he always comes home raving about how awesome Edward is. We love the care Bogey receives and feel so blessed to have found someone to watch “our boy” we need to leave him. Highly recommend Edward. He is very responsive and sends daily pictures and updates.”

“We boarded our trio with Cindee and she goes above and beyond! My puppy can be pretty lively but she was in full control of the puppies and they enjoyed their stay. They ran back to her door when it was time to go home.”

Susan V.

“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”

Amber H.

“Patti and Butch were great! They have a wonderful back yard and they treated our little dog like it was their own. She provided daily pictures and updates while we were away for two weeks. Our dog was very happy and safe for the entire visit. I highly recommend Patti for any pet sitting needs.”

Sean C.

About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover my entire life, and most of my expertise comes from the rewarding experience of raising my own two dogs from the time they were puppies. Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy, establishing routines, crate training, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience housesitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog in my care with the exact same patience and dedication I give to my own! I am currently off work and at home full-time, which means your dog will have my undivided attention! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's regular feeding, potty, and exercise routines. Because I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime. Safety is my top priority. My home features both a fully fenced-in front yard and a fenced-in backyard, providing plenty of secure, enclosed space for your dog to safely explore and play. Inside, I have two large crates available if your pup prefers or requires crating for meals, bedtime, or quiet time. I am highly experienced in managing a structured environment, and I strictly follow all of your specific care instructions to ensure total peace of mind.

“The sweetest people ever! We will call Tannia anytime we need a sitter. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day! She even gave me dog mom advice on little dogs teeth! I cannot recommend Tannia and Chris more! ☀️❤️”

“Chief loved his time with Andrew and Kaitlyn. It's such a relief to know you are leaving your pet (in our case an older one) in good hands. We would love to have them watch Chief again.”

Mary Ann P.

“Very informative of my cat while be considerate with him and consistently giving him lots of attention, room to move around and made him feel at home. Her family and herself have gone beyond expectations for him.”

“Our normal dog sitter was busy this weekend so I decided to book with Randy and Mimi. Taz LOVED hanging out with Randy and Mimi! They are amazing hosts to our pup. They are awesome at sending videos and pics and making your pup feel at home. Will definitely be booking again. Taz found his new place?”
