“Blanca is so friendly, kind, and trustworthy. She was so affectionate and caring to our little senior dog, Pepper. She even picked her up from us!! Her home is so nice and calming. We can't say enough amazing things about her!!!”
“Em was so incredible to work with! I booked pretty last minute with her and had rather an odd request and she was so accommodating. She gave us updates during our pup's stay with her and sent us photos. She was incredibly easy to contact and she truly went above and beyond for us during a very busy wedding weekend. It gave me such a huge peace of mind to know that my dog was loved, safe, and well cared for while in Em's care. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
“Randy always has the best time hanging out with his buddy Pepper and the whole family! The daily updates bring me so much comfort, especially when you have a dog with health issues. Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of my baby”
“My first time ever using rover app, was a bit skeptical. But Kenneth made my skepticism go away by how professional , helpful, and communicative he was.”
“Laura was super accommodating and kind. Galileo and I just moved to Fl from ct and I needed to head across country for a last minute work trip. Laura made me feel comfortable leaving Galileo in her care and provided updates on how well he was doing.”
“Cynthia is great and took excellent care of my two pups. I received updates and pictures and I could tell the pups were having fun. I’ll be a return customer.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bogey’s New Favorite Human! We’re so thankful to have found Edward B. for our English Lab, Bogey. He can be a bit bougie (especially about his water—filtered only, of course 😄), and Edward embraced his quirks with so much love and patience. We got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little notes that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust 100% with our pup. Thank you, Edward , for loving Bogey like your own. We’ll absolutely be booking again!!”
“Rachel was a godsend. She took my 90 lb. puppy for 3 days after I was injured. Aldo and her dog played for 3 days straight, she said, and he came home exhausted, clearly happy and in love with Rachel and her daughter. I cannot possibly give her a high enough recommendation. Of course I will hire her again.”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
“Our 2 adult pups were well cared for by Adriana while we were away. She kept us updated to their daily activities with both photos and videos. Our lab mix really enjoyed escaping the July heat with dips in the pool. We would definitely consider booking with Adriana again in the future!”
“My dog had an amazing time! Randy is an awesome host and the property is perfect for dogs. I also received tons of videos and photos. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! Chris and Tannia are the nicest people you’d want to meet! Their condo is very clean and safe as well. They kept me updated, send me lots of photos and always responded quickly. I could tell Stella was also happy through the photos!”
“Very patient with our fur baby. She was very responsive, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout his 5 day stay. Will definitely use her again!!!!”
“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
About: I do not currently have a dog, but I have lived with plenty of dogs in the past! Some roommates had dogs. My most notable experience is with my mothers' 6yr old Goldendoodle, whom I no longer live with. She is a burst of energy, and well-mannered. I visit her to walk/play, take her on trips, and visit dog parks. I would love to meet your doggos and provide care during the week/weekends, or extended pet-sitting services! I am currently unemployed and looking to make this my full-time job! I am available always! A good timeframe for me is 8am-8pm, but I am willing to work outside these hours if needed! DOGS: I can do boarding, I own a home near Murray Hill, with a fenced backyard! I know lots of great walking spots & dog parks! I can also arrange play-dates with other dogs to keep them company during their stay, or in general! My cats are great with dogs, but I can keep them separate if needed. I can also come to you for feeding/playtime/walks/park days! CATS: I can board up to 2 individual cats in separate rooms within my home, (or 2 cats from same home in one room, etc.). For now, I'd like to avoid boarding cats freely throughout my home, as one of mine can be picky, and I would not want to cause additional stress for your kitty(ies)! But, I can set them up in their own room and check on them throughout the day, and/or let them roam while mine are separate. I can also come to you for feeding/playtime!

“Katie is absolutely the best! She has made it possible for me to travel and not worry about my cat. She is timely, leaves a great update every visit, and sends pictures so I don’t miss my baby quite so much. She gives my kitty lots of attention while she is here. She is the best!!!”
“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”

“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”
“adriana was absolutely amazing to my kitties! she adjusted care to their specific needs and will definitely be booking with her again. she’s so sweet and loves animals :)”
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
“Kara was incredibly sweet and kept me well-informed about everything happening with my pets while I was away. She dedicated ample time during her visits, ensuring they received plenty of love and attention in my absence. Trusting a stranger with your fur babies and home can be daunting, but Kara made the experience completely comfortable. I’m truly grateful for her exceptional care. 20/10!”
About: Whether your cat needs fresh food and water, litter box care, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I'll provide patient, loving care tailored to their needs. I have a special place in my heart for shy, anxious, and senior cats and know how important it is to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I'll make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in your absence. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your feline family member is happy and in good hands.
“Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!”
“5/5 Stars – Meticulous and Incredibly Caring! We hired Cadence to watch our furbaby while we were away on a week-long vacation to San Diego, and she was absolutely phenomenal. This was the longest we have ever been away from him, so we were naturally a bit anxious, but Cadence completely put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic throughout the entire week. She was so sweet, caring, and incredibly respectful of our home. She didn't just do the bare minimum—she took meticulous time every day to play with him, give him his treats, brush him out, and keep his feeding schedule perfectly on track. It is such a relief to find a pet sitter you can truly trust. We would definitely use Cadence again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet!”

About: When it comes to dogs, I’ve done it all! I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy pups, couch potatoes, and dogs who need a little extra love and support. No matter their age, size, or personality, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up in a family of dog lovers, I learned how to care for, train, play with, and understand dogs from an early age. As I got older, I became the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. Before long, coworkers began trusting me with their pets too, thanks to my experience and genuine love for animals. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work remote and can be very flexible not only with the time you need me but with the location.

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!

I am a full time dog sitter and trainer I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I start mornings around 7 a.m. with feeding, followed by walks and playtime. Throughout the day, pets receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I provide constant supervision, and pets are only crated if needed or requested by the owner. I rarely leave the house, and if I do, it’s only for short, essential errands and never for more than an hour. In a client’s home, I maintain their space respectfully while ensuring their pet receives attentive, reliable care at all times. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs get plenty of daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I prioritize regular outdoor time so pets stay happy, active, and mentally stimulated, even without a yard.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”
“Katherine was great with our boys! She is very quick to reply to messages and sends updates after all the walks. Very friendly. We are so grateful to have found her.”
“Carter did a great job caring for Lucy! He was punctual, checked in with me often, asked questions about caring for my puppy as needed, and took pictures to share! I will ask for his help again!”
“Katie was awesome! She came over to meet my dog beforehand and he had three walks with her. I loved her detailed “report card” and getting cute photos of my dog. I feel super comfortable with her taking care of my dog and will be asking for her help again in the near future.”

“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️
“Savannah has been wonderful! Our previous dog walker, Paige, was with us for almost two years, so I was definitely nervous about having someone new take over. Savannah has made the transition so much easier than I expected. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring with our dogs. I already feel comfortable and confident knowing they’re in good hands with her. We’re so happy to have met Savannah and really appreciate how easy she has made this change for us!”

She gave us updates during our pup's stay with her and sent us photos. She was incredibly easy to contact and she truly went above and beyond for us during a very busy wedding weekend. It gave me such a huge peace of mind to know that my dog was loved, safe, and well cared for while in Em's care. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
“My first time ever using rover app, was a bit skeptical. But Kenneth made my skepticism go away by how professional , helpful, and communicative he was.”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Emma made it effortless with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and accommodating to watch your pet, Emma is absolutely a 10/10. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Cynthia is great and took excellent care of my two pups. I received updates and pictures and I could tell the pups were having fun. I’ll be a return customer.”
“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“Kira was awesome with my lil baby Draco. He’s a Rottweiler lol but that’s what he is to me and how she treated him which I really appreciate. I felt comfortable being out of town with the updates she was sending me and updates! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future :)”
“Lindsey and Jose were great caretakers of our dog. They had other dogs and kids for her to play with and sent pictures every day. They also allowed us to book a good bit ahead of time and stayed in communication. Would highly recommend them!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bogey’s New Favorite Human! We’re so thankful to have found Edward B. for our English Lab, Bogey. He can be a bit bougie (especially about his water—filtered only, of course 😄), and Edward embraced his quirks with so much love and patience. We got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little notes that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust 100% with our pup. Thank you, Edward , for loving Bogey like your own. We’ll absolutely be booking again!!”
“Eddie was so amazing with tyler, He made me feel safe leaving tyler with him over the night. Tyler wasn’t lonely he also made a new friend to play with was definitely a plus for us !”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
“Our 2 adult pups were well cared for by Adriana while we were away. She kept us updated to their daily activities with both photos and videos. Our lab mix really enjoyed escaping the July heat with dips in the pool. We would definitely consider booking with Adriana again in the future!”
“Very patient with our fur baby. She was very responsive, and sent lots of updates and photos throughout his 5 day stay. Will definitely use her again!!!!”
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
