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.
“Dustin had such a good time with Chrissy and her dogs! She sent me a few pictures throughout the day. I definitely recommend her! Chrissy is really nice and welcoming!!”

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.
“Hunnyhad an amazing day making new friends.. This was the best experience I have ever had being new to the area and I would most definitely recommend Marilyn if you want your baby safe and well taken care of. Hunny will only be going to Marilyn Q.”

“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”

“Charlayda was amazing. Always kept in contact with me and gave me updates throughout the day. Took great care of my baby!! She had a lot of fun! Definitely will rebook!”
“This was my first time being away from my sweet girl since bringing her home. We booked a one day doggy daycare with Honey as a trial before her upcoming weekend stay, so Mila could get comfortable and adjust. Honey was wonderful and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. Mila came home happy and completely tuckered out from all the fun she had! 🐶🐾🎀”

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!

“Wendy was very good with communication before and during my pup’s visit with her. She sent pictures while he was in her care and he seemed to have a fantastic time with her. My boy has a lot of energy and he was ready for rest after we got home, so I know she spent time playing with him❤️”

I can’t say enough about how wonderful and amazing Chrissy and her husband Dylan are. Not only did I make a very last-minute request on a holiday because I’m in from out of town, but they were so accommodating warm and wonderful with my dog Rosie. Rosie even had a poop accident too, which I felt terrible but they were so wonderful and understanding and even washed her blanket and Gave her a mini bath. They are an absolute treasure 100 stars if I could. My family is here and they will be my go to whenever I come to visit.

This was my second drop off for doggy day care. Charlayda is absolutely wonderful. She was responsive to request, she provided plenty of updates and photos/videos. I was worried how my babies would react being left for a few hours, but she did such a great job with them the first time that I have become a repeat customer. I definitely recommend her services.
