“Sayla loves every trip she has to Shannon's. She plays so hard it takes her a whole day of rest to recoup! Wonderful to have someone to trust for our girl.”

“I have to say that I won't leave my dogs with anyone else while I am in Jacksonville! Kaitland took care of my dogs as if they were hers with all the love, and my dogs love her back. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”

“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”

“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”


“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.”


About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. Im currently unemployed and have a great support system (friends and spouse who LOVE dogs.) Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. The only times im gone are to do errands. Which isnt more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days :). Your pets safety and quality of care is very important to me. Just to describe some of the perks of boarding with me. I have a large yard thats fenced in. A spare bedroom that theyll sleep in/ or be crated in. Very spacious home they can roam freely. Theyre allowed on furniture. Can socialize with my two loving sweet dogs that are trained. Including a safe neighborhood for walks. If pet parent is not comfortable with their pup being around my pets. Ill ensure they remain seperated, as i have the ability to do so with dog gates in the home, if need be. I also have cameras to always keep an eye out (although physically id be present).

“Wendy took great care of our Teddy while we were away. Will definitely use her again. Super responsive, sent pics every day, and helped with some logistical issues as well.”
“Megan is the best! This was Ellie’s second visit and she had a great time yet again. So thankful to have found someone so reliable and who genuinely cares about my pup while I’m away. It makes traveling so much less stressful. Thanks Megan and family!”

“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”


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.
“Andrea was great! I could tell the Breck loved staying with her. She was giving me updates and sending pictures all throughout his stay so I always knew how he was doing. I highly recommend Andrea for a sitter”

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.
“Katya is the best sitter I have ever had for Sage. She is so attentive, goes on many walks, she plays with her both inside and outside. She has the sweetest touch with Sage and she loves coming to stay with her! I have zero worries when I drop Sage off at Katyas house!”

“My pup, Goose, is a rescue that I got from a hoarding situation back in November 2021. I think in the time I've had him, I've left him twice with people who I trusted but didn't live in the home. This is the first time I've ever had to leave him with someone he's never met so I was super nervous. Patti did not disappoint at all! She sent me frequent updates on how Goose was adjusting and continued to send pictures all weekend. We definitely will be using Patti again!”

“Absolutely amazing!!! We reached out to Charlayda at the last minute before going out of town for vacation and she squeezed us in for a meet and greet. During the meet and greet, Charlayda took the time to ask questions about Rose to make sure she would be a great fit and that she could provide excellent care based on Rose's needs. Very flexible with pick up and drop off. We were away for 8 days and Charlayda sent multiple pictures, videos and updates daily that made us smile as well as let us know she was in great hands. We will definitely use her service in the future and I highly recommend Charlayda!!!”

“Apollo had a wonderful stay! He was really happy the whole time, we got lots of pictures and updates, and I'd say he came back calmer and better behaved than when we left him! I'd love to have him stay here again!”

“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”


“Kelly watched our dog for a weekend and we could tell our dog enjoyed her stay! She was returned to us seeming very happy and relaxed. They had a great big backyard where she could explore and sun bathe, and we are sure she loved it.”

“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 ❤️!”

“Haley was great with our Kitty April!! It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was well cared for. We are very fortunate we found her. She was very communicative and punctual!!”

“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 has been great as always . Our cats love her and they are in good hands . Highly recommended. She is caring , loving , keeps you informed of everything and great pictures . Can’t praise her enough .”
“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!”


“Lexi was great -- if she had any questions, she contacted us promptly, and she was very good about sending photos and videos to let us know how the kitties were doing.... even our ridiculously-shy kitty snuggled up to her while she was here. :-) Lexi was gracious enough to wait a couple of extra hours in the house until we got home from our trip -- this made things super-easy on us, and we are grateful for that. We just retired, and are planning to do some traveling in 2026; we definitely plan to hire Lexi to stay here during our future trips.”

“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!!!”

“Robin was great with our cats while we were away! She sent us photos daily and was very easy to contact. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur babies!”

“I was worried because that was the first time Demi, my cat was going aways for a few days to a different home. Megan sent daily photos, videos and updates that put my mind at rest. The cat was happy and relaxed when picked up. I would rebook and I strongly recommend her services.”

“Isis was amazing. She took such excellent care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent pics of them all and followed up with me at each visit. One of my girls requires daily medication and Isis had no issues giving it to her. Highly recommend.”
“Cynthia was fantastic! We went out of town for a week and she came by to feed and play with our cats twice a day and always let us know what was going on and was even able to help me with a special request at my house. She’s really the best and I feel so much better about having her as an option next time we take a trip. It was such a stress reliever to not have to worry about their care while we were gone. Thanks again so much! I can’t recommend you enough! If there was more than 5 stars I would give it!”

“I am so grateful for her services. She has been a blessing to me and my animals. She is honest and thorough and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is taken care of. She has a genuine love for animals.”

“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! 🐶🐾🎀”

“Here for the weekend and wanted our boy to go have fun and meet new friends. 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! Will be back in Jacksonville on more work outings and will definitely bring him back!”

“Thank you so much Shannon!! The pups had so much fun and really enjoyed their new friends. I greatly appreciate you taking care of them on such a short notice. You are a definite keeper.”

About: Our family loves animals. We have an English Bulldog named Bo (Bobo) who is very well socialized and loves other animals. He is 7 and loves to play. We also have a Bassett Hound named Opal and she loves to play! Opal is 3. Our children are ages 17, 16, 10 and 2 and they love animals as well and will provide tons of attention! My husband and I have always had dogs/cats ever since we were young. We have also cared for animals throughout the years for others. We believe that animals are what helps tie a family together and that a house is not a home without them! We live in a very pet friendly neighborhood with lots of sidewalks to walk on for dog walks. We also have a fenced in yard. The dogs can go in and out as they please through a doggy door. I love photos and will provide many during your pet’s stay! Our home is a Smoke free home. We’d love to help! My children are home during the early afternoon, after school while my husband and I are at work; however, my job is flexible with days working from home. My husband pops in throughout the day. We have a fenced in yard and a doggy door. We have gates set up throughout the house to separate dogs while eating or when needed. We do not let dogs upstairs, but they are free to roam downstairs. My children are home during the early afternoon, after school while my husband and I are at work; however, my job is flexible with days working from home. My husband pops in throughout the day.
“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!!!”

“Isis is truly truly amazing! I am new to the area and I have such a peace of mind knowing that she is the one coming into my home and taking care of my two babies! She’s great on communication and taking pictures during her visits which I absolutely love and best of all she cares for them as if they’re her own! I look forward to using her in the future! Book with her ASAP!”

About: I treat each pet as my own and will do whatever I can to make their stay comfortable and relaxing. We have a beautiful half acre fenced in yard perfect for your dog to run and play. I'm very caring for dogs and cats and have been taking care of animals for 10 years. I enjoy taking dogs out for walks and giving them exercise and making a bed for them on the couch or in our bed. I always joke that my children have four paws and I will treat your pets as if they are my own. With some pets being very anxious when their owners are not around, I make it my mission for the pet to feel relaxed and loved. If your pet prefers to have their own space we can accommodate for that as well! I've taken care of over 50 dogs throughout my life and can't wait to meet yours! I work from home so your fur baby will have someone with them at all times. Your baby is able to sleep the day away or help me run some meetings 😂 We have fenced in yard perfect for dogs to run and play. I have a kiddie pool as well for those hot summer days! If your pet doesn’t get a long well with cats, no worries. The cats have their own space in the basement or in a secluded room for the duration of the stay.

About: I love all dogs... any breed and any size. My availability is wide open. I walked dogs for 7 years and boarded dogs at my home for 3 years. I moved to Florida from Virginia about a year and a half ago. I am looking forward meeting new dogs and establishing some great client relationships. Please let me know your needs and I'm sure we can work something out. All questions encouraged- I looking forward to hearing from you. I am available to care for pets in my home or yours. I pet sit, do dog walks, love playing with dogs and always give lots of love and cuddles. My schedule is open. I am available all the time. I am available to walk dogs, pet sitting at your house or pet boarding at my house. Rover is my only job. I have a fenced in yard, that is completely secure. Your dog is welcome at our house. We do not have our own dog. I only accept 1 owners dogs at a time. We treat boarding dogs like family inside and outside the house. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
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 have taken care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. I have always been passionate about caring for animals and getting to know the creatures I encounter. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule. I can pop over to take the dogs out for a walk or be available for feeding or whatever your pet may need. My pets are my life and I do anything I can to make their lives as wonderful as it can be. I would love to help other pets live their best lives.
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.

About: I've had animals my whole life. Dogs, cats, birds, lizards, chinchillas, and more. I currently have two dogs who are living the good life, with no worries in the world. Sleep, play, eat, repeat. Pet care IS a part of my routine. Almost everything I do starts with the question: what's gonna happen to my dogs and cat? Can they come with me? Do I need a friend to check on them? Etc. My pets come first. I treat every animal as if it were mine. When I'm entrusted with friend's and family's pets, I am willing to go above and beyond to treat them the same as my own pets. They get to sleep, play, eat just like my pets do.
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

“Sayla loves every trip she has to Shannon's. She plays so hard it takes her a whole day of rest to recoup! Wonderful to have someone to trust for our girl.”

“I have to say that I won't leave my dogs with anyone else while I am in Jacksonville! Kaitland took care of my dogs as if they were hers with all the love, and my dogs love her back. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”

“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”

“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”


“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.”


About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. Im currently unemployed and have a great support system (friends and spouse who LOVE dogs.) Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. The only times im gone are to do errands. Which isnt more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days :). Your pets safety and quality of care is very important to me. Just to describe some of the perks of boarding with me. I have a large yard thats fenced in. A spare bedroom that theyll sleep in/ or be crated in. Very spacious home they can roam freely. Theyre allowed on furniture. Can socialize with my two loving sweet dogs that are trained. Including a safe neighborhood for walks. If pet parent is not comfortable with their pup being around my pets. Ill ensure they remain seperated, as i have the ability to do so with dog gates in the home, if need be. I also have cameras to always keep an eye out (although physically id be present).

“Wendy took great care of our Teddy while we were away. Will definitely use her again. Super responsive, sent pics every day, and helped with some logistical issues as well.”
“Megan is the best! This was Ellie’s second visit and she had a great time yet again. So thankful to have found someone so reliable and who genuinely cares about my pup while I’m away. It makes traveling so much less stressful. Thanks Megan and family!”

“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”


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.
“Andrea was great! I could tell the Breck loved staying with her. She was giving me updates and sending pictures all throughout his stay so I always knew how he was doing. I highly recommend Andrea for a sitter”

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!!! We reached out to Charlayda at the last minute before going out of town for vacation and she squeezed us in for a meet and greet. During the meet and greet, Charlayda took the time to ask questions about Rose to make sure she would be a great fit and that she could provide excellent care based on Rose's needs. Very flexible with pick up and drop off. We were away for 8 days and Charlayda sent multiple pictures, videos and updates daily that made us smile as well as let us know she was in great hands. We will definitely use her service in the future and I highly recommend Charlayda!!!”

“Apollo had a wonderful stay! He was really happy the whole time, we got lots of pictures and updates, and I'd say he came back calmer and better behaved than when we left him! I'd love to have him stay here again!”

“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”


“Kelly watched our dog for a weekend and we could tell our dog enjoyed her stay! She was returned to us seeming very happy and relaxed. They had a great big backyard where she could explore and sun bathe, and we are sure she loved it.”

“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 ❤️!”
