My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”

“Jamilla is always wonderful! Great communication even when I was without service she made sure to tell me about my kitties everyday! She also brought in my package for me that arrived after I left. Will continue to use her services while we are away!”
“Sarah was great! I love that she has her own kitties so that I didn’t have to explain my reasons behind any of my instructions. She’s a caring sitter who is naturally kindhearted and so easy to communicate with, which is so important to me. I was looking for someone who’s primarily a cat person, because a certain energy and element of natural wisdom is required to care for them thoroughly, and Sarah was so great about that. She encountered the challenge of my youngest baby’s separation anxiety having dramatically increased during my absence, and she met the challenge with the wisdom and kindness of an experienced cat mother. I’m so grateful for her!”
“What a great first experience. i absolutely loved the daily pictures and notes. Even our feral kitties outside and our plants were well taken care of. And so timely each day giving our oldest cat her meds. Will definitely book again when we plan to be away.”
“Shianne was great! We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter and thankfully Shianne was able to accommodate us. She was very quick to respond and gave great updates/photos. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously.

I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I’m especially great with pets who need a little extra patience or consistency, and I always aim to create a calm, positive environment for them. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet!
“Thank you so much for looking after our big ol gsd babies! Joseph was wonderful and very communicative! Thank you again for looking after our pups!”
About: I have watched multiple neighbors cats. This always consisted of changing litter boxes, feeding them twice a day, playing with them/ keeping them company! They were the sweetest! Also, I am the cat lady of my neighborhood; about 8 cats are surrounding my house at all times. I feed them twice a day and provide water I have 2 indoor cats and 1 dog that I love so much!
“Michael is my backup who shows up when I need him most. He’s reliable, flexible, and calm, even on last-minute requests. Always professional and kind, exactly who i need watching my baby girl! He’s great, 10 out of 10.”
About: I have always had pets growing up, including birds, tortoises, cats, and dogs, so I am familiar with a wide variety of needs and temperaments. I am responsible, punctual, and committed to following any special instructions your pet may have, whether related to diet, exercise, medication, or daily routines. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. :) I look forward to providing top-notch care for your fur, feathered, or scaled baby!

In the evenings, both of us will be home to give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care they need.

From walks around our neighborhood near the park to playtime in our fenced backyard, we make weekends exciting and engaging for every pup in our care. We have a fenced backyard and one (1) miniature Golden Retriever who can either play with your fur baby or be separated if requested.

“Alexandra is very good in responding back to us and took good care of Amy when we need to go for weekend. She is reliable and followed all the instructions we left for her. For sure I will reach out to her next time I need someone to help me with Amy!”
“Kevin was very respectful, timely and exceeded expectations. I will definitely look for him on Rover the next time I need help with Kaiya. Thank you, Kevin and thank you Rover for connecting me with him!”
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around cats for most of my life. Growing up with cats and now having two of my own, I’ve learned that every cat has a unique personality, whether they’re playful and outgoing, shy and independent, or somewhere in between. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat and providing care that makes them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve looked after cats for family, friends, and neighbors, helping with feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a cat’s routine and respecting their boundaries, especially when they’re adjusting to their owners being away. I am a reliable, patient, and attentive caregiver who treats every cat as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing a stress-free experience for both you and your cat. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers a quieter approach, I’ll make sure they receive the care, comfort, and affection they need. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family members! 🐱💕
“Ashlyn was super responsive and checked in with me when she had something come up, running a little behind. She made sure my cats were well fed, watered, and litter was clean. A huge relief for me being out of town for the weekend. I will definitely use her again, she made it so easy!”
“Kiana was amazing with my older kitty. Shelby doesn't need any medication, but she does get anxious when mama is away. She's just super sensitive. But Kiana gave her lots of love and snuggles, and was great at sending me updates with lots of pictures every day. Highly recommend!”
“Pam was wonderful for my two cats. Very attentive and even picked up after them when they were naughty and broke a glass jar. I would definitely hire again. I loved the pictures she sent as well :)”
“This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️”

About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star.

“Benji has separation anxiety, but you would have never known it once he was with Stephanie! I don’t even think he missed us because he felt right at home with her. It was our first time leaving Benji with someone other than family and Stephanie made us feel at ease providing us with as much communication as we needed to feel comfortable. We appreciate her a lot and I know Benji does too! 🥰 He loved her cuddles and her undivided attention. We will definitely use Stephanie’s services again because we trust her wholeheartedly to take care of our Benji boy the same way we would 🐾”

About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large dogs and cats, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. My experience growing up with big dogs taught me how to confidently handle larger breeds, while living with and caring for cats has helped me understand the importance of patience and respecting each pet’s unique personality. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 As I work toward my goal of becoming a nail technician, I have the flexibility to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is a rewarding way for me to spend my time while building my career. I make it a priority to keep pets on their regular routines and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, hosting them overnight in my home, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking them on walks, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For boarding and overnight stays in my home, pets will have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. My apartment community includes a dog park and a dog washing station, which are great amenities for active dogs. I also have two cats, so any pets staying with me should be comfortable around cats. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time with me a positive experience.
“My fur baby is very clingy and I was initially hesitant after a negative experience at a local boarding business. However, she adapted well to Chyna and I plan to use her services in the future.”
About: What makes me different from other sitters is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life, from cats to dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also rescued several lost animals and helped reunite them with their owners, which shows how deeply I care about their safety and well-being. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m home all day and have the time and flexibility to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love throughout the day. Since I’m home often, pets will have plenty of supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. When you book with me, you can expect a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pet will be treated like family. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Since I’m home all day, pets will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, feeding on their normal schedule, and a calm environment where they can relax. I also understand that every pet is different, so I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as close to normal as possible. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and cared for like family while you’re away.
About: I’ve dogs my entire life. Whether you have a coach potato or a zoomies fan I got you. I have a big backyard for your baby to play in and a lovely partner for all of her/his adventures. I keep constant communication, and will be sending tons of pictures so you don’t get nervous. I have been taking care of dogs for a couple years now. I work 9 to 5 Monday to Friday but I live in my parents house, so there is always somebody at home. I will be playing in the backyard during the morning, chilling on the couch while I study in the afternoon and taking a couple of walks here and there just to take some fresh air. I have a big fence yard and a designated closed area inside the house so your dog has plenty of space to be. During the day she/he will be walking free all over the house as I do chores here and there. I have a friendly dog (girl) who would love to be your baby’s beastie
“Carole is overall a wonderful person. Loved interacting with her and she was also great with our puppy. My puppy is not an angel all the time since she is still learning, but Carole had great patience and understanding with her. Played with her plenty of time that she came home exhausted and slept past her dinner time. I highly recommend her if you had any doubts and your cherished baby will be in great hands.”
About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.

She was so caring and made sure he was comfortable with plenty of potty walks and pets! She also sent lots of updates and photos of how Butters was settling in.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals basically my whole life! Everyone in my family comes to me when they need a pet sitter… It has even extended into helping friends. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I sincerely have a passion for animals and taking care of them. I am consistently dog sitting for my grandmother who has 2 dogs and one of them has a serious condition. So, taking care of her is more involved. It includes giving her medication multiple a days, helping her get up on things and sometimes hand feeding her when she needs a little more help. I’m also experienced in watching senior dogs; I have taken care of my aunts 10 year old Chihuahua on multiple occasions. When it comes to breeds, I have a wide range of experience. I have cared for chihuahuas, “teddy bears” (small dogs), pitt bulls and Rottweilers. My schedule right now is completely free. I would be available all days of the week and weekends. I am available at any time of the day! My pets are very spoiled and cared for. They get treats throughout the day and plenty of outside time! Fresh water and food always! I take my dog on daily walks around the neighborhood and he also goes to visit my grandmother’s dogs often.
“Mr. Scott is wonderful with our fur baby, Jojo. Jojo always looks forward to his evening walks and is already waiting at the door when Mr.Scott arrives. It’s clear how much he cares, and we appreciate the attention and kindness he shows every time. We’re grateful to have someone so reliable and caring looking after Jojo.”
About: I have always had pets growing up, including birds, tortoises, cats, and dogs, so I am familiar with a wide variety of needs and temperaments. I am responsible, punctual, and committed to following any special instructions your pet may have, whether related to diet, exercise, medication, or daily routines. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. :) I look forward to providing top-notch care for your fur, feathered, or scaled baby! Monday – Friday: My wife works full time from home and is able to provide attentive care for your fur baby throughout the day. In the evenings, both of us will be home to give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care they need. Saturday – Sunday: We do not work on weekends, so your fur baby will enjoy fun filled days with plenty of attention and activity. From walks around our neighborhood near the park to playtime in our fenced backyard, we make weekends exciting and engaging for every pup in our care. We have a fenced backyard and one (1) miniature Golden Retriever who can either play with your fur baby or be separated if requested. We are very cautious and will always ensure your fur baby is safe and well cared for. We are the type of family that loves providing daily updates and photos because we understand that leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care can feel intimidating. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and reassured while you’re away.

“Great 1st experience with Rover. Robyn was very professional , on time, communicated, and was great with my dog. Even played with him for a little bit before putting him back in the kennel. We will definitely be returning!”
About: I’ve been a lover of dogs & cats since I was a kid. Animals always gravitate towards me. I’ve had pets since I was about 15 years old. I have nothing but time to give to all pets. Your baby will get all the cuddles & butt scratches they can handle! I’m not working at the moment so I have all the time in the world to give to your furry babies! I’m able to do drop in visits/walks at your home. I can also do boarding at my home. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your baby to run around & play. The house is big enough to keep all the babies separate just in case there are any temperament issues.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large dogs and cats, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. My experience growing up with big dogs taught me how to confidently handle larger breeds, while living with and caring for cats has helped me understand the importance of patience and respecting each pet’s unique personality. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 As I work toward my goal of becoming a nail technician, I have the flexibility to provide attentive and dependable pet care. I’ve always loved animals, and pet sitting is a rewarding way for me to spend my time while building my career. I make it a priority to keep pets on their regular routines and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, hosting them overnight in my home, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking them on walks, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For boarding and overnight stays in my home, pets will have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. My apartment community includes a dog park and a dog washing station, which are great amenities for active dogs. I also have two cats, so any pets staying with me should be comfortable around cats. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve. I treat every pet like family and strive to make their time with me a positive experience.
About: My family has always had at least 2 dogs at any given time so I feel like I have extensive experience. I currently have 2 dogs of my own who I walk regularly, give medication to when needed and snuggle with (as much as they let me). I have handled dogs with a wide variety of temperaments and sizes so I do not discriminate. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I am available for drop in visits and I can do extended in home visits up to 4 hours daily. I'm a reliable person who loves dogs and understands that everyone has to go to work. I'm unable to bring any additional animals into my home but I am available to come to you. Since I have animals of my own at home I am also unable to do any overnight stays.
“I couldn’t be happier with Brooke as my pet sitter. She was so caring and responsible and it was clear she treated my pup with affection and kindiness. . She gave me updates, sent pictures and messages each time. She was even thoughtful enough to consider how hot it was and that she would play inside instead of a longer walk.”
About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!
“Shianne is always so wonderful and so helpful! We've booked her a few times for our 3 wild pups (and our kitties) and she always goes above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough. :)”
“Amazing. My dogs fell in love instantly. She heard all my requests, treated my dogs like they were toddlers instead of dogs, and spent time playing with each of them. If me or you need services its wise to book her while you can”
“Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊”
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.

My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”

About: Hi! I’ve always loved dogs. Ever since I was a kid. My first pup was brought home when I was just 4 years old. I remember my dad getting home with her and thinking this white ball of fluf! ❤️ We named her sussy and had an amazing 16 years with her. I have never not had a pup since. I’ve done fostering for a few different organizations and have 3 pups of my very own, Rosco, Rex and Rambo! (yes I have them all R names on purpose lol). Rosco 85lbs and is a Pit Lab mix , Rex is 5, roughly 50lbs and is a Shepherd mix and Rambo, he’s our little piglet and weighs around 55lbs. My boys are my world and I know how tough it is on them when I have to go away for a few days so I understand what it means to your pets to feel the love and get all the hugs and kisses they are missing from their owners and I can promise you I’ll give them all the loving they can stand for during our time together! I relocated to Jacksonville towards the end of November, early December of 2020 for work where I was given the opportunity to work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. I do a lot of meetings with healthcare providers so believe me I’m no stranger to driving around from place to place. Because my schedule is flexible and I do set my own meetings I can make most times work. I will ensure to follow the owners instruction on how their fur babies are to be taken care of. Weather it be going for walks on a leash or playing in the back yard. I will do whatever is best for your pet!
