“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“Bingo had a great time with Rochelle. I was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know but she was great with him and he adjusted quickly and seemed happy and content. She sent daily pictures and videos!”
“Our dog was noticeably happy and well taken care of. We got pictures daily. Textbook for what we look for when we get boarding for our doggo. We look forward to booking with them again in the future.”
“Kendra was great with our Rocket. Kept us updated on his days and sent pictures but didn't go overboard with it. I also appreciated her being flexible with the booking ours that needed to change at one point. Would definitely use again if she is available.”
“It was my first time using this Rover app for my puppy and I have to say Blanca was amazing with my puppy Nori. Definitely will be calling her again . She was very loving towards her and my puppy seemed very happy.”
“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.”
“She is super sweet, very communicative which I really appreciate. My dog was super happy, like at home. We felt so relieved that our dog was in good hands. Thank you so much, we will definitely go back to her every time we have to go out. Thank you so much 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.”
“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.”
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel is a loving and caring animal lover. I left my dog and my daughter's dog with her for a week. They were well taken care of and enjoyed all the love they got from Rachel and her adult children. Both of her children were also very good with the dogs. Rachel sent me pictures often and kept me informed on how they were doing. The dogs looked like they were having a great time. I also loved that she took them for a walk at least 3 times a day and had a fenced yard. They got along well with Rachel's dogs. I will definitely use Rachel again. She took such wonderful care of our dogs.”
“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“My dogs loved her. They came back relaxed and calm. One of my pups gets anxiety and it’s hard to find someone who makes her feel relaxed and at home. We found that with Christian. She sent daily pictures and spoiled them the week they spent with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Excellent experience. Ken took care of our pup and made her feel like one of his own. Daily pics and updates. Our pup took to Ken like that fun uncle we all have. I recommend Ken for your dog sitting needs. I had to reach out to Ken at the last minute and he welcomed our Bailey into him home with open arms. I will definitely reach out to Ken in the future.”
“Joshua went above and beyond while watching our French bulldog. He kept us updated throughout the stay and made sure everything was taken care of. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Josh!”

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !
“Rae was an amazing sitter for my senior cat. Rae went above and beyond and followed my instructions perfectly and helped me when my plans changed with the booking. Rae was prompt and great with animals. I would recommend Rae to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter.”
“Jeweliana and Riley provide loving care to our pets as if they were their own. Very responsible, on time, and great communication! Will definitely request them again!”
“Katie was amazing with our two older cats! She was always on time and went above and beyond with care. She gave them lots of attention and play time as well as making sure they ate all their food. She gave us excellent summary reports after each visit and plenty of photos!”
“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 !”
“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”
“Unfortunately, we were not able to use Gracie as our plans changed. But we look forward to meeting her soon. We communicated directly with Gracie regarding our cancellation, but we were not made aware of the fact that you have to make any changes or cancellations directly on the app. So I think we were charged for this even though we did not use this service. Just a heads up in case you need to change your plans you have to do it on the app as well as communicating with your pet provider.”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Kristie is awesome! She followed all the instructions I left, took great care of my shy little cat, and even kept me updated with friendly messages. I felt super confident leaving Mia in her care and would absolutely trust her again!”
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.
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
“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. ☺️”
“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!”
About: Cats have always been a part of my life, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality and routine. Whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including those who need extra patience, medication, or specialized care. I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, cuddles (when they’re in the mood!), and regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind. I know how important it is to keep your cat’s routine consistent and to respect their boundaries. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible by giving your feline family member the same love, attention, and care I would give my own.
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
“Jenna was fantastic! Her love for animals shines through. She sent lots of updates and was super-flexible with our requests to accommodate our cats’ wacky feeding schedule — she even paid them an extra visit at the last minute when our return plane was delayed. We definitely will request her again to look after our guys!”

About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life & LOVE them. I work from home in a professional job, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals during the day and I take my dog out on four walks a day. I also have a good sized, enclosed yard. I am extremely hyper vigilant, so your pet will always be taken care of with me. I treat dogs like children and My Mika is extremely spoiled. She gets along with all other dogs and cats. I currently work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for animals in my home. I take my dog out on four walks a day and I have a good size enclosed yard. I have a fenced yard with sod. I don’t leave my dog out there for long - only to go to the bathroom because she prefers to be inside with me and right now it's too hot. I will accommodate whatever needs your dog has. I have a fenced front yard as well and my dog likes to be on the porch people/dog watching.
“Chrissy and fam were great. Ellie was quick to warm up and by the second day, she was already pawing at their front door to go inside. Chrissy made sure I was up to date on her day and she was excellent at communication. Highly recommend and definitely will return once the occasion arises.”
“Jessica’s the best! I drop my dog off twice a week for 12 hours at a time and he always gets so excited to go. She takes him on trails sometimes, but he’s also just so happy being at her house with her and her dogs. They play a lot! I also love the cute pictures and videos she se sends throughout the day!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”
“Atlas had so much fun with Nhi! She was flexible and communicated with me every step of the way! She also got some amazing pictures of my Atlas! If I’m ever in Jacksonville in the future, I’m sure Atlas would love to hangout with her again!”
“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”

I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.

“Reign took good care of our two dogs while we were at an event for the weekend. She was very flexible with our pickup and drop off times and quick to respond to messages.”

About: I have about three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and very mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and safety. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I also have a son so I know how important it is to be able to trust someone to care of your loved one(s). I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I plan my days carefully around my work schedule and my son’s daycare so pets receive proper attention, walks, playtime, and calm companionship without being rushed. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in clean and calm environments, and make sure they’re always supervised appropriately. I respect each pet’s routine and temperament and communicate clearly with owners to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.

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 have fostered cats and kittens for approximately ten years, and know the commitment, awareness, and love it takes to connect with animals of all personality types. I have two cats of my own that were foster-fails, so I am very well versed in the needs of all different kinds of cats, and I will apply the same loving care and attention I provide to my own to your pets. I am extremely aware and will always focus on the safety of your pet. I grew up with two dogs as well, and have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors on top of my own dogs. I truly love animals, and want to spend my free time taking care of them. You can trust me with your cats and dogs! I'm currently working part-time, so when I am not doing that I have plenty of time to spare taking care of your pets! I am available on weekends, after work, and the weekdays I am not working. I will be respectful of your home and your pets, always! You can trust me to know that your home and animals are left in safe and trusting care.
“Britney went above and beyond with her first time with Finn, not just taking him for a walk, but keeping him company and playing with him as well. She drove to my house in Hogansville, was punctual, and took care of my dog. I would recommend!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for years. As a former Doberman owner, I’m comfortable with large, high energy, or powerful breeds that need strong, confident handling. (But I love all doggos) Will do long walks around the neighborhood or visits! I make sure every pup gets exercise, affection, and attention. I’m super reliable, quick to respond, and dedicated to following your exact feeding, routine, and care instructions to keep your pet happy and safe! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day routine! Whether I’m boarding your pup at my place or house sitting and walking at yours, they’ll get tons of focused attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of activity. Plus, I live within walking distance of Kanine Social for fun outings (with your permission, of course!). I’m always happy to adjust my schedule to match your dog’s specific energy level and daily habits. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, period. Having owned a Doberman, I’m totally comfortable and experienced handling large, strong, high-energy breeds. I don’t have a fenced yard, so I rely on frequent/long walks . I strictly follow feeding and care instructions, send daily photo updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing, and treat your home and pets with complete respect.

“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“My dogs loved her. They came back relaxed and calm. One of my pups gets anxiety and it’s hard to find someone who makes her feel relaxed and at home. We found that with Christian. She sent daily pictures and spoiled them the week they spent with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“Excellent experience. Ken took care of our pup and made her feel like one of his own. Daily pics and updates. Our pup took to Ken like that fun uncle we all have. I recommend Ken for your dog sitting needs. I had to reach out to Ken at the last minute and he welcomed our Bailey into him home with open arms. I will definitely reach out to Ken in the future.”
“Layda is the absolute best Dogsitter around. She showers your pup with love and affection and keeps you regularly updated with adorable photos. We love Layda!”
“Kaitland provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town. He had a great time and seemed to really enjoy the environment at her house. Kaitland kept us up to date with pictures everyday. Great experience!!”
“Tyler was fantastic! Our dog had a great time boarding with her. She sent us updates multiple times a day with pictures during our trip. She made sure to let us know how he was doing and what he was up to. We will definitely use Tyler again?”
“Kristall was the best with our sweet Luigi! She gave him lots of love and attention, walks, and updated us with pics while we were on our trip. Her dog is also very friendly and got a long well with our dog. Would love for her to watch our dogs again in the future!”
“Lindsey and her family always take such great care of our baby! They’re incredibly accommodating and flexible and such kind humans. Our dog loves every minute with them and it gives us such peace of mind.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for years. As a former Doberman owner, I’m comfortable with large, high energy, or powerful breeds that need strong, confident handling. (But I love all doggos) Will do long walks around the neighborhood or visits! I make sure every pup gets exercise, affection, and attention. I’m super reliable, quick to respond, and dedicated to following your exact feeding, routine, and care instructions to keep your pet happy and safe! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day routine! Whether I’m boarding your pup at my place or house sitting and walking at yours, they’ll get tons of focused attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of activity. Plus, I live within walking distance of Kanine Social for fun outings (with your permission, of course!). I’m always happy to adjust my schedule to match your dog’s specific energy level and daily habits. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, period. Having owned a Doberman, I’m totally comfortable and experienced handling large, strong, high-energy breeds. I don’t have a fenced yard, so I rely on frequent/long walks . I strictly follow feeding and care instructions, send daily photo updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing, and treat your home and pets with complete respect.
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
