“Larry was phenomenal! He was caring with my dogs, kept me updated at all times and he was even nice enough to extend their stay for 2 more days after my flight was cancelled.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.
“Shannon took great care of our sweet Sophie!! Appreciated the updates she gave and knowing that Sophie was having a wonderful time with her, other doggy friends, and her family.”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Tannia and Chris were absolutely awesome! They exceeded the goal in making sure Zion felt right at home. It truly comforted me and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing he was well cared for!🤗💕THANK YOU!”
About: I am a former manager at a daycare and boarding facility, I have administered diabetes shots and other medications for animals. I plan to own my own daycare boarding facility in the future. Helping others and working with animals has always been my passion, I initially went to college for veterinary but decided that it wasn’t for me that a Daycare facility was best suited for me and my personality. I currently am a manager at a restaurant I can walk pets before 5:30 am but it didn’t give the option and anytime after 4 pm. I have three friendly dogs who are very socialized they go to doggy daycare and one elderly cat who is 16 and our yard is fenced in and I live down the street from a dog park as well!

“Wendy was everything we hoped she'd be. She gave us multiple updates on our dogs status and multiple pics per day. I would use her again without hesitation.”
“Sara was absolutely amazing with my Shih Tzu, Chloe. From the moment we met her, her personality was so warm and kind, and it immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe in her care. She kept me updated and treated Chloe like she was her own. It meant so much to hear that everyone fell in love with Chloe while she was there—it reassured me that she was getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Sara gave her and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

He was perfectly calm upon his return home and we could tell he received expert care. Thank you Kaitlyn & Andrew!”
“This was our first time to use a petsitter for our dog and our Rosie was not only taken care of, but also pampered and spoiled by our petsitter Debbie, she kept us informed and updated with photos and text la that gave us a piece of mind, I will absolutely use this service again. TY!”

“More than anything, we wanted a big, open yard. Larry has a fabulous yard! Scruff had a great time! Larry's a perfect dog person..relaxed, easygoing, doesn't get excited about much. Scruff jumped up to Larry's lap and said, "How about I come play with Jackson?" We will work out a nice playdate schedule for Jackson and Scruff.”
“Renee was an amazing sitter for our pup! She was kind, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. A great bonus was that her dog was nice playmate, which kept our pup happy and entertained. She sent photos and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We also ended up needing a little extra time for pickup, and Renee was incredibly accommodating and flexible. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
“Eboni is fantastic. It's always hard to leave your pup with someone new, but she made us feel very comfortable. Ramsey is a very snuggly dog that loves attention and he was very well cared for. Eboni sent us pictures and an update very early in his stay to let us know how he was settling in, which instantly calmed our nerves. She was super responsive and kind when answering all of our questions. We are so happy we found her and Ramsey will absolutely be back!”

About: I absolutely love animals and have been taking care of pets since i was about 10 years old! I have experience with all types of dogs, from seniors to young puppies through working with rescues and I have had over 10 foster dogs who I have helped to find homes. I have also aided in training for rescue dogs of all different backgrounds, including issues with separation, anxiety, crate, potty, and obedience training. Outside of the rescue I also have regular pet sitting clients whose pups I have watched for over 5 years and absolutely love! I also have volunteered with Cats Angels in Fernandina Beach and have experience fostering litters of kittens and stray cats. I am back on Amelia Island for the summer but during the school year I attend Florida State University where I am actively involved in the dog rescue Champ’s Chance and it has taught me so much about working with all types and personalities of pups! I am currently working part time and my only set hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8am to 12pm, outside of those hours my time is free to be spent with your pets! I am very active and love to go for walks or runs if that is something your pup would like to join me in (usually in the early morning or evenings to avoid that Florida heat!). I have reliable transportation and love to spend time petting, playing, and just lounging around with any animal. I am able to care for pets in their home however needed! I have experience with a variety of medical needs and activity levels, and can do frequent visits, park outings, or stay in your home if that’s what you and your pet are most comfortable with.

Between the two of us, our furry visitors are rarely lonely. We provide lots of pets, play time, walks, and cuddles. We have a yard, large dog crates if needed, doggie swimming pool, and lots of furniture for the four legged friends to sit on! I work 1-2 days a week and have full availability the other days. Unfortunately, these days change every week, but I usually have my schedule for a month in advance. I live in a house on a couple acres that is surrounded by trees, so there are lots of little critters to look at from the front porch! my dog and i spend a lot of time outdoors, whether we are going to the beach or on walks.

The dogs in my pictures are either the ones I have grown up with or the ones I have recently taken care of. I currently have a part time job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will be available for check-ins, walks and overall care. I have the most availability in mornings and afternoons! I will not be doing overnight stays at my own residence but will be diligent, caring and attentive in taking care of pets in their own homes!
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, through raising and training two dogs growing up, I also was the local dog watcher. After this I have happily walked and boarded dogs to help supply pet parents the best care for their needs while away! I enjoy spending time with animals and give them the love they deserve! I am currently staying at home so I can easily care for your pets! I am available for morning, afternoon and evenings to provide care anytime of day or night. I give our cats the best care in the home, they have trees, scratch pads, I am always home to change the litter box, and toys to play with. They are the sweetest cats! When I take care of other pets I make sure food, water, litter box or taking the animal outside for 30 min+ walk 2x a day.
About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.
“Shannon took great care of our sweet Sophie!! Appreciated the updates she gave and knowing that Sophie was having a wonderful time with her, other doggy friends, and her family.”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Sara was absolutely amazing with my Shih Tzu, Chloe. From the moment we met her, her personality was so warm and kind, and it immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe in her care. She kept me updated and treated Chloe like she was her own. It meant so much to hear that everyone fell in love with Chloe while she was there—it reassured me that she was getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Sara gave her and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have an 5 month old puppy of my own. Through both personal experience and daily care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and households with multiple dogs. I’m comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, reinforcing basic training, administering oral medications, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I also have experience caring for high energy dogs and dogs with separation anxiety, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pets with the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I am available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays, after 6 PM on Tuesdays, before 4 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and after 5 PM on Sundays. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and attention while you’re away, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely play, run, and get their energy out. I also have a gentle, friendly puppy who enjoys the company of other dogs and can help provide social interaction if your dog is comfortable with that. My puppy is crate trained, and I am fully comfortable following your preferences when it comes to crate training, including crating your dog if that is part of their normal routine or what you prefer. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect your space and maintain your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any specific instructions you provide. I also focus on keeping your pet calm and comfortable by giving them attention, companionship, and a familiar routine, especially for pets with anxiety or who are shy. My goal is to create a safe, stress free environment whether your pet is staying with me or I am caring for them in your home.
“Fantastic couple! Made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Cherry was in great hands! They sent so many awesome pics and messages throughout her stay that let me know we’d made the best choice. We will definitely rebook with them!”
“Allie was great with my dog! I didn't worry at all while I was away. She sent me photos every day with an update on how he was doing. He looked like he was extremely comfortable with her. She took my dog to the park every day! It was nice that she had a dog too, I knew my dog wouldn't get bored. Definitely would trust Allie with my dog anytime!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“Alicia is the best!!! My rue girl was so comfortable and felt so at home you’d think Alicia was her owner! I have never felt safe leaving rue before however this time with her being in Alicia’s care there wasn’t a worry in my mind! Definitely will be a reoccurring guest ❤️!”
