Marilyn is such a great sitter for my Mason! He has some quirks when I’m out of town and she catered to all of them. He was so happy in the photos she sent.

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.

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

Jada was great! She was understanding of the complicated situation with the cats (1 outdoor and 2 indoor and they do not mix well) and followed all the instructions for keeping them separate exactly as I asked. She interacted with the kitties just the perfect amount and let them come to her on their own terms. She truly understands cats. This was my first time using a pet sitter and I was really nervous about leaving my babies with a stranger. The way Jada treated my kitties made me feel so much better about going out of town. She's awesome! Thank you so much Jada!!

About: I own and run a grooming/boarding facility here in Jax. Petcare is my passion! Branching out to include petsitting as well, so as to offer a one-stop shop of sorts for all your pet care needs. I provide courier service to vet appts and can groom your pups should you need those services during your vacation! Being that I run my own business, I set my hours, so I can do the same when caring for your pets. I have vet tech experience and am a certified pet groomer. I can administer meds, assist with potty training needs, clean litter boxes, do light house cleaning and make your home appear lived in, ALL while entertaining your babies and keeping them safe. When I come to your home, your pets will be provided loads of love and attention, all while remaining where they feel most comfy, in THEIR home! Should grooming services be needed, I can provide that as well. All dogs will receive a free exit bath! This includes nail trimming and ear cleaning.

Emily was great. She came and met my three dogs and was willing to work with my high anxiety baby. She was patient and kind with her. She sent pictures of the morning and afternoon visits. We didn't get pics of fhe night visits. I appreciated Emily's willingness to come to our place to take care of our babies. I did originally ask for two visits and then asked for three/ she was willing to do it even though the drive was a little further than we both realized. Thanks again, Emily!

About: I have had a pitbull for about 4 years now and my girlfriend has a Maltese. I have yet to meet a dog that is not completely in love with me. I’ve fed, walked and cared for puppies all the way to 15 year old dogs. I am well rounded in caring for pets. I’m in the military and I’m currently off work for about 2 months. I’m available all day every day, 24/7. You can schedule anytime, don’t feel like you’re being a bother! I typically take my girlfriend and I’s dogs out in the morning around 7am, lunch time, dinner time and before we go to bed. Depending on the how the pups feel, we can go for mile walks or just a short trip around the block

I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.

On short notice, I appreciated that Amelia was so generous with her time. I was pretty harried with an unusual morning but she was calm and attentive to my dog. I felt comfortable leaving her in my home with Rusty and I couldn’t have chosen anyone nicer. We’d love to have her again
