Highly-rated overnight sitters - Imeson Park
“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.”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”
“We were traveling through Jacksonville and had a business dinner on the way. We needed a dog sitter on short notice and Katya stepped in to assist. We left the dog with her her for about 2.5 hours, received numerous pictures and updates. Great communication and affection for our dog. When we picked her up we were told they walked her for an hour since she was in the car all dayu. Great sitter, great communication! Thank you for helping us out!”
“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.”
“Edward did an excellent job communicating by sending pictures of daily activities. He also would send messages with updates to ease the mind of worries while caring for my dog”
“Excellent experience with Megan! She took great care of our dog while we took a last minute family trip. She gave us regular updates and included pictures and videos. She even took him on several walks which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
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.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience with Kelly! I can’t say enough great things about Kelly! She took care of my dog for two weeks while I was out of town, and it was honestly the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had. From the very first message, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. Throughout the entire stay, Kelly sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how my pup was doing — from days playing in the barn and updates on behavior and feeding, to the adorable moments that made us smile every day. It was so reassuring to know my dog was not only safe but truly LOVED and cared for. When I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised and well-loved. Kelly even went above and beyond by tidying up and washing my dog’s things to be returned nice and fresh for our return home. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to animals, Kelly is the one! I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future — and I can’t recommend her highly enough. 🐾💛”
“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!”
“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 ❤️!”
“Patti was wonderful with our 2 dogs! Her communication with us during our trip was so appreciated. She sent daily updates, photos and videos, which went a long way to ensure us that our pets were cared for with as much attention to detail as we would give ourselves. This made our trip so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I would most definitely recommend her for pet boarding. She’s absolutely wonderful!”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!”
“Joelyz and her family were great! They took great care of our dog Enzo. She sent us videos and photos and was very communicative. We will definitely book with her again and would 100% recommend.”
“Josillyn, She was awesome—very attentive and accommodating. I wasn’t able to drop off my dog, and she kindly arranged to pick him up and drop him off, which I really appreciated. She also sent updates while I was out of town that gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Highly recommend!”
“Layda is the best! Thank you so much for taking such great of my baby. It gives me great peace of mind when I have to leave her that she's in such good hands.”

Cat caregivers near you - Imeson Park
About: I have owned and cared for cats since I was 5, actually! I've had them all my life, and I still do! I can give medications according to your specifications and ensure they are well-fed, played with, and cared for. I adore cats of all kinds and especially love fluffy babies and rotisserie chickens (sphynx, haha). I can and will clean litter boxes if needed, and cuddling is mandatory (unless your baby is not a snuggler). I know what foods cats can and can't have, as well as what is good for them, like fresh pumpkin, which is good for their digestive system in small amounts
“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”
“Cheyenne was absolutely amazing with our three dogs! Before her week-long stay, she took the time to do a meet and greet, and it was obvious from the start that she genuinely cared about getting to know them and their individual needs. Throughout the entire week, she kept us updated with daily messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When our youngest pup developed an upset stomach, Cheyenne went above and beyond by cooking her rice, making sure she was comfortable, and keeping us informed every step of the way. Not only did she take exceptional care of our dogs, but she also treated our home with incredible care. She cleaned up after them, and on her last day she even cleaned our carpets and mopped the floors so we could come home to a spotless house. That level of thoughtfulness is something you just don’t expect. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll absolutely be booking with Cheyenne again. As much as I want everyone to know how incredible she is, part of me wants to keep her our little secret! 😂 Highly, highly recommend!”

“Kylie was awesome with Cedric, and Cedric clearly enjoyed playing with his new friend! He was always so happy during their visits. Kylie was so patient with me and my many requests. She is the sweetest sitter! I will definitely have Kylie over again!”
“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”
“Hirono is an absolute rock star and we are so happy we found her to check in on our cat for us when we are away for several days at a time. You can tell she is a true cat lover. She is super dependable, easy to work with, remembers things well, and we LOVE that she always sends us several pictures and an update when she comes to visit our cat. We have a super shy cat, yet he warmed up to her very quickly, so she has been a perfect fit for what we needed. She will continue to be our first call when we need someone to care for our cat. Thanks for everything, Hirono!”
“Tania was straight forward, it was very easy to meet her and hire her. She made constant contact when showing go to my property to check in on my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend and book her again.”
“Chris was awesome and took such great care of my fur babies! I got daily updates and though I know they likely ran and hid when he arrived each day, he let me know he spoke with them and played with their toys for a bit so they could hear. Upon my return, I got a warm welcome from both of The Boys and could tell that they were more relaxed. I didn't get the cold shoulder treatment as I typically do. I will definitely call on Chris again and I would highly recommend him!!”
“This was my first time using rover.i am so glad we had Cheyenne .my baby’s were very well taking care off . They got lots of loving and play time . Great communication and picture updates every time . Will definitely book again”
“Ashley was great. This was our first time leaving our kitty and using a pet sitter. We were anxious leaving her but Ashley gave us detailed updates every visit and pictures. She also answered any questions we had. We will definitely request her services again.”
“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”
About: I’m great with cats. I’ve owned them all my life and always have a great relationship with them. The picture I linked are two stray kittens that ran away from ~literally everyone~ but when I sat down nearby, it only took 10 minutes for them to come to me and hangout. They then sat next to me for about an hour. They startled super super easily, so I sat completely still the whole time. Lol. I care about them!
About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and cared for animals for many years. I love animals especially dogs. I have one dog of my own named Lilo. I recently moved to the area and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I am a teacher so I can provide pet care evenings/weekends/ school breaks. I am happy to do overnights as well if I can bring my dog. I can care for dogs overnight if I can bring my dog. She is a small wire silk hair dachshund & gets along with other dogs.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Imeson Park
“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”
“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! 🐶🐾🎀”

“We are so pleased with Meagan! She is very responsive, flexible, and took amazing care of our pup. We got regular updates and we loved seeing videos of how much fun our dog was having with her friendly dogs. Her home is a welcome place for doggy fun and snuggles! Also, she helped us out when we had to cancel at the last minute several weeks ago, even though she took a hit to her review profile. Thank you for everything, Meagan!”
“Joelyz was incredibly sweet and attentive, both to me as the client as well as to my dog. She sent pics through the day to keep me updated. I know her training background helps her interact in the right way. I woukd definitely use her again.”

Megan took great care of our boy, giving him treats, cuddle time on the couch watching tv, and was a perfect overall experience couldn't be happier!

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Growing up with 4 dogs and 3 cats has taught me how to train and care for animals from a young age. Having my own pets in adulthood has taught me the responsibility it takes to care for puppies, kittens and senior pets from potty training, administering medication to round the clock monitoring and care. I’m an expert when it comes to bath time, having a pup who was afraid of the bath and groomers encouraged to make it fun for them while getting the job done as quickly and efficiently as pawssible(; My boyfriend and I are both working from home giving me the ability to attend to your pets needs all throughout the day and night. I have a large, fully fenced backyard that your fur babies have access to all day and night. My bichon frise/Lhasa apso mix is eager and willing to provide a playful friend and cuddle buddy for the duration of your pets stay.
“Anne was amazing!! I honestly was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but she kept me updated throughout the day! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
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.
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.

“I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!”
“Nancy is fantastic! Super flexible and I love her recaps of the visits with my 2 dogs. I have already rehired her for many more walks in the future. So glad I found her! Highly recommend!”
About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.
“Matt was AMAZING with our pit/boxer mix, Frank. He was prompt and timely every day and posted lots of photos to help ease my “pet withdrawals” I will definitely use Matt on a regular basis and will recommend him to all of my dog parents. 10 out of 10 fantastic!!!”

About: I have experience watching both cats and dogs for over 10 years, some being my own and mostly others! I have a disabled dog currently who I care for, giving me experience with medications and specialized care. I also have had two cats with health issues so I am well versed in specialized care for them as well. I look forward to meeting your babies! I am a student currently with a fairly flexible schedule. I will have a completely open schedule starting the week after Thanksgiving to Christmas as well! I am very careful with any animal I care for. I ensure we have a meet and greet prior to make sure I am completely comfortable in safely caring for your baby❤️

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs to birds to cats. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique quirks and traits! I work a part time job on the weekends only so I’ll have the entire week for availability! Just about any time works and I’m very open. My services will of course vary depending on your specifications for how you would like your animal to be taken care of, but my utmost concern would be making sure their needs are met.

I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.

“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.”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”
“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.”
“Excellent experience with Megan! She took great care of our dog while we took a last minute family trip. She gave us regular updates and included pictures and videos. She even took him on several walks which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
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.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience with Kelly! I can’t say enough great things about Kelly! She took care of my dog for two weeks while I was out of town, and it was honestly the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had. From the very first message, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. Throughout the entire stay, Kelly sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how my pup was doing — from days playing in the barn and updates on behavior and feeding, to the adorable moments that made us smile every day. It was so reassuring to know my dog was not only safe but truly LOVED and cared for. When I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised and well-loved. Kelly even went above and beyond by tidying up and washing my dog’s things to be returned nice and fresh for our return home. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to animals, Kelly is the one! I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future — and I can’t recommend her highly enough. 🐾💛”
“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!”
“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 ❤️!”
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!”
“Joelyz and her family were great! They took great care of our dog Enzo. She sent us videos and photos and was very communicative. We will definitely book with her again and would 100% recommend.”
“Josillyn, She was awesome—very attentive and accommodating. I wasn’t able to drop off my dog, and she kindly arranged to pick him up and drop him off, which I really appreciated. She also sent updates while I was out of town that gave me peace of mind knowing he was doing well. Highly recommend!”
“Layda is the best! Thank you so much for taking such great of my baby. It gives me great peace of mind when I have to leave her that she's in such good hands.”
“Cindee (grandma G ) is absolutely amazing! She is such a nice person and obviously loves the pups as her own. She has a fabulous yard and home for the pups.”
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“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.”
