“We needed a last minute dogsitter for our puppy while we left town for a few days. Christina not only was willing to watch our dog on a last minutes notice but took the best care of him! He came back calm, happy, and relaxed. We knew he felt so comfortable with her. Thank you so much for such great care of our dog, Christina! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Allen and Bridget were amazing. They loved on Willie as if he were their own. They gave frequent updates and reassurance that Willie was safe and having fun especially with Beamer and Princess. Thank you so much!”
“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
“Laura was absolutely amazing!! She took wonderful care of our two mini dachshunds! Right away, we felt comfortable with her and knew that she would give them excellent care and attention on their over night stays!! My husband and I will go out of our way to make sure we use Laura again if needed. We have two senior babies, and one is very special needs. She gave her all her medication, food, and extra attention. She made sure that they were comfortable and kept them right on their normal routine! If I could give her 10 stars I would! Thank you so much Laura and family!”
“Such a great experience with Mariana. Great communication before and during this visit! I can tell Gunner had a great time and came home exhausted! Thank you for taking such excellent care of him!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Denise is the best, and I can always count on her to watch our Malti-Pom (Egypt) when the family and I are going on vacation. She is the number one Dog lover, and I wouldn’t want to leave her woth any one else.”
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“Taqueria took excellent care of my dog, Alec, over the 4th of July weekend. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with Alec again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Brad is an excellent care taker of my 17 year old Morkie. Lucky is blind and trying to live out the remianing years in the best way possible. Having someone care for him when I need to travel is essential. Brad treats lucky as if its his own. Lucky always is comfortable with his stay there, getting special care and attention. I highly recommended Brad for your pet, no matter the age or breed.”
“Had a great experience with Samantha and Daniel! Everything went smoothly from start to finish. They have a wonderful, welcoming home that made me feel confident my dogs would be comfortable and well cared for. Communication was excellent, they were very responsive and kept me updated throughout. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Cat took great care of our toy schnauzer, Toby. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. I knew he'd had a fun time with Cat and her little pug. Your fur babies are in good hands with her.”
“I came down from Michigan to Florida for vacation. I had my 12 year old basset hound Poppy with me. I had Amelia take care of Poppy while I was visiting. Amelia and her family were awesome ? with Poppy. They seen to all of Poppy's needs including eye drop medicine that she needed every. Amelia was great. I highly recommend her and plan ask for services again the next time I visit. ??”
“Rebecca and Michael had our chihuahua again. The communication and pictures is very consistent and frequent. They have never missed a beat when they have watched our dogs. I have 0 fear leaving them with Rebecca and Michael. If you are needing a sitter I recommend them for sure.”

“I appreciate Tori’s communication style and her connection with my silly cat. She helped me hold down the fort at home and left me knowing my boy was well loved, played with, and fed. <3”
“Me and iris loved having Mary available to take care of iris while I was away..Mary is so accommodating and friendly.. ill always use her..especially for the leave of mine she brings while im outta town.. so very trustworthy and just a kind person”
About: The great thing about cats is that the more time you spend with them, the more affectionate they become! I'm actually currently cat and house sitting, and I love it more everytime as the sweet kitties get more comfortable and loving with me😻I've been taking care of both cats and dogs for 25 years now, and there's nothing that I haven't done or am unwilling to do, for these majestic and awesome creatures. I have a home that is very animal friendly and I'd be happy and honored to have your furry(or hairless) pet's company at my house for any period of time. Or of course will gladly visit your home too. Whatever you or your animals need, I'm up to the task! I'm honest, friendly, a very hard worker and I have an infinite love for all animals. Please let me love your pet like they're my own, and give them a safe & nurturing feeling of home, even when you can't be with them💜 your pets and I are already best friends, we just haven't met yet😁 Thank you for your consideration -Kelly
“Nathalia was very quick to respond and attentive to everything I asked her to do. From the pictures she sent, my cat was very happy with her visits. I had no concerns with her work and will consider requesting her again in the future!”
About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence. I currently care for five dogs of my own, all with different personalities and needs, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, walks, feeding schedules, medications and individual care. I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.
“I had an amazing experience with Kelly while I was out of town. They took great care of my cat, Bubbie, and made sure he felt comfortable the whole time. Bubbie can be shy at first, but they were patient and gentle with him, and he warmed up quickly. They kept me updated, sent photos, and made sure he had his food, companionship, and his favorite window/tower time. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a clean space. Highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Layla is solid gold! She kept our kitties dialed in and feeling loved for an entire week. They are both shy and Layla brought them out of their respective shells much more quickly than I expected. I know they felt comfortable while we were away, and I will absolutely be working with Layla on my next trip!”
“If you're looking for someone to care for your pets, I cannot recommend Shelli enough! She watched our cats while we were away, and she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, so leaving him is always incredibly stressful. We had originally planned to board them, but between the cost and the required vet visit beforehand, it just wasn't the right fit. Shelli completely put our minds at ease. She made sure they were fed, gave insulin exactly as needed, spent time playing with them, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and even cleaned up after one of our cats got sick. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about our fur babies was priceless. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Shelli, for taking such amazing care of our kitties! We will absolutely be using you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As I grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I have full time availability currently. I am usually up around 5/6am so I am happy to do early mornings. I am up for late night drop ins as well if needed. I do not have a yard but I love to take the dogs to parks and walk around. If they are potty trained, I am more than happy to keep them in my house.
“Catherine is beyond beyond great! Cat took care of my cat Lacey in her home as if she wore her own. She genuinely loves animals which gave me a great piece of mind knowing Lacey was in the very best of care. Cat was accommodating, flexible, energetic, reliable… literally all of the things you could possibly be looking for in a pet sitter. I give her the highest of recommendations, and if there were more than five stars to give, I would give them. She’s awesome!!”
About: Through volunteer work with a cat rescue organization, I’ve provided hands-on care for stray and highly timid cats. Working with both rescue cats and my own has given me a strong understanding of cat behavior, routines, and body language. I’ve been around cats since I was a baby and currently have three of my own. I’ve also cared for cats with special needs who required daily oral medication, so I’m familiar with medication administration. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, litter box habits, and all the small details that help keep cats healthy, comfortable, and stress-free.

“Our miniature poodle Leo enjoyed his time with Mariana having plenty of space to play and attention to his playtime needs. Leo especially enjoyed the extra cuddles! We would definitely bring him back again.”
“Katie was easy to work with. She sent pictures and took Cooper on two walks, and the last one caught them in a rainstorm. They were drenched! Cooper loved it and I loved how she dried him off and brought him to the truck so we wouldn't have to get out in the rain. She really went above and beyond. I highly recommend Katie!”
“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”

“Christina was amazing with Max! He was so happy, relaxed, and felt completely at home with her. It’s clear she truly cares for the fur babies she looks after, and Max was comfortable from the very start. I’d highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy.”
About: I think dog’s are awesome animals and they are so loyal. I love being around dogs and seeing their true personalities come out. One day I would live to have a dog, but I want to wait until I have a backyard to let them run. I work a 9-5, but I am remote. This gives me flexibility to tend to your animals needs. Animals are like toddlers and need a lot of care and attention. This is an important thing to remember for any animal owner. I will treat any animal as if they are my own. Every animal on this planet deserves to be treated with love and compassion. In time of their owners absence, it is especially important to make them feel safe and loved.
About: I am a single mom of a 20 old daughter who thinks she is a dog whisper and has never met a dog she doesn’t love. We love all types of dogs. I work full time and get home around 6pm. I am off every weekend and looking to earn some extra income. I am very honest and dependable. I’ve always had some type of animal in my life. I have a black mouth cur mix at home named Emory as well as a cat named Whiskey. Emory loves playing with other dogs and whiskey doesn’t mind them if they don’t mind him. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby and or babies!! I work full time, but have open availability on the weekends. I usually enjoy going out for walks and taking advantage of the fresh air so figured why not make a little extra income and provide love and care for your fur baby at the same time! I do live in an apartment complex but I can still provide leashed walks or available to take them to the dog park if permitted!

I strive to make sure your pet will feel safe and comfortable and will keep you posted with as many pictures and updates as you’d like. I’m available to care for your pet across the full week - week day or weekends. I’m also remote, so I’m flexible with scheduling based on your needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first! Whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I will always ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and any other safety details.
“Olivia is so friendly and greeted out pups in a way you can tell she is kind & nurturing with dogs. Our dogs liked her right away. She accommodated our travel schedule. Our youngest pup was nervous being on her first big trip, so Olivia gave her special attention and a cozy, quiet place where she felt comfortable. We are so appreciative of Olivia's TLC for our beloved dogs.”
About: Hi, I’m Shawna — a dedicated and experienced animal caregiver with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I had the unique opportunity to live on a farm for several years, where I cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigeons, bunnies, goats, sheep, cows, deer, and horses. That experience taught me not only how to care for animals, but how to truly understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention, I provide calm, attentive, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I specialize in providing attentive, one-on-one care for pets in their own home environment, ensuring comfort, consistency, and peace of mind while you’re away. What You Can Expect: • Consistent, reliable care • Clear communication and updates • A calm, patient approach with animals of all temperaments • Experience with multiple species and environments • Respect for your home and routines 🐶 Services Offered: • Drop-in visits • Dog walking • House sitting • Pet companionship and care while you’re away I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to travel to a clients home 7 days a week. If I am available, I could accommodate last minute care, overnights or long term pet/housesitting. I have a pet care contract that the client fills out with any special requests and details regarding the pets care, medication if applicable, allergies, emergency contact info etc... I have glowing recommendations from past and present clients upon request. I pride myself on being a very trustworthy person and can give the homeowner/"pet parent" the peace of mind that their "castle" is truly in trusting hands. I treat every clients home as I would my own.
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I understand the unique attention each one needs. Whether it’s keeping up with high energy, giving medications, or just offering extra snuggles, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. I always grew up with multiple animals in my household! What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and the attention I give to the little things—daily routines, favorite toys, and those tail-wagging moments that matter most. I treat every pet like family, because that’s what they are. I am working to make money for my masters program that I am taking in the UK. I am available and can do whatever is needed and wanted to make your pet feel loved and cared for! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I always make sure they’re in a calm, clean, and secure environment. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to reduce stress and keep things familiar—whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle time. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences, and I always keep open communication with owners so you feel confident and at ease. You can count on me to treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and respect I’d give my own.
“Kaylen was so sweet with my baby, receptive and understanding of all her unique needs. Her dog was chill with my dog; it was easy and I was able to have a very productive day. Thank you so much, Kaylen!”

“Mary is GREAT! She is communicative and on time. My rescue, Saint, is timid around new people but she has managed to make friends in record time! Having her committed to walk my pup makes my day at work less worrisome. I definitely lucked out finding Mary!”
“Unfortunately my dogs weren’t compliant with Tori, but she was very sweet and professional. It wasn’t a good fit but she was very communicative and kind even though my pups gave her a hard time.”
“We used Sarah over the Thanksgiving week and Sarah was amazing! Always on time and sent multi pictures from each visit. Our dog Joey did great in her care and she always ended her visits with a cuddle on the couch! We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for pet care! Thank you Sarah!!”
“Hanna is as sweet as my dog lol. She always shows up on time and with a good attitude. She gives the dog a great walk and my dog is starting to get excited when she thinks Hanna is coming. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I am fully open and available for any booking, for any period of time, for any amount of pets! The more animals I get to see in a day, the better! I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
About: Hi there! 🐾 I know how much your pets mean to you, because I feel the same way. When I’m with your furry family, they get all the love, snuggles, and attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and cute photos so you never miss a moment. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re loved like family. Pets are already part of my daily routine thanks to my roommates and family—I’m always surrounded by furry friends. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just hanging out, I naturally build pet care into my day. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and it keeps me active, patient, and mindful. Caring for pets outside my home feels like a natural extension of what I already do every day. 🐾❤️ I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pet and your home. I take time to get to know each pet at their own pace, follow their usual routine, and keep everything tidy and comfortable. I’ll always respect your house rules, send you daily updates, and treat your pets like family. With me, you can feel confident that both your home and your furry loved ones are in safe, caring hands🐕🐕🦺🐩🐈⬛🐈
About: I work full-time from home and have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior, shy, anxious, and special needs pets. I also have animal rescue experience and am comfortable with medications, special diets, and individualized care. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, and working from home gives me flexibility to fit visits and care into my schedule easily. I’m intuitive with animals and quickly pick up on their moods, personalities, and comfort levels, while keeping their routines familiar and stress free in their home.
About: Just moved to Saint Augustine from Colorado where I had experience caring for lots of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, tortoises and turtles. I just love animals and happy to meet yours! I do this on the side and will only accept when I am fully available. I have one older shitzu and 2 ferrets but can keep separate if needed. Both. I live in apartment so I would only take one at a time so that I can provide individual care. I have two ferrets and an older Shih Tzu.
About: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now (starting college this fall!), so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.
“Nathalia was great! She was professional & very prompt even though she was 30mins away from me. I used Nathalia for walking my dog while I recover from foot surgery. My anxious dog warmed up to her and they did great together! I would recommend Nathalia! ☺️”
“Katie has been a go-to dog walker and dog sitter as well as caretaker for our three cats. Odin is a loving dog with special needs (he has always been mostly blind) and can sometimes take a while to warm up to someone. With Katie this did not take long and he listens to her when its time to get going. Our cats are very selective and we were shocked how quickly the first time she showed up our cats warmed up to her. Overall great experience with her and highly recommend her to anywho who's not traveling at the same time we are :)”
About: 🐾✨Passionate and dedicated Vet Tech with a year of hands-on experience in animal care. Currently pursuing my LVT certification, I bring extensive medical knowledge and genuine love for every furry friend I meet. As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important trust and compassion are when caring for your pets.💖 With a flexible 4-day work week at my clinic, and I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give your pets the care they deserve. 🐶🐱 When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their environment and routine as normal as possible. I make sure they’re fed, walked, and loved just as you would, and I’m comfortable giving medications or extra care if needed. I’ll treat your space with respect and your pets like family!🤗
About: I’m a medical professional and animal lover lover with a huge heart for dogs, farm animals, lizards, and more! I have extensive practical experience at a vet clinic, at ranches and my own pets. Let me love yours! Over 15 years experience with professional care, but 30+ with my own dogs. Majored in animal science in college with neuro-psych doctorate. I’ll bathe, clip nails, and brush. I have a large yard and safe places to walk. I work from home part time but ant an hospital part time. Sometimes (rarely though) I go away for the weekend to go camping and site seeing. Your babies are welcome to come. They will hike and smell fresh air also. If traveling together, I like to give them a safety harness so they are secure and safe in the car. When I’m home it’s unrestricted access and with your babies. When I work I work from 9-4 in JAX. It it’s flexible and I’ll pay to have someone let your guys out if we need a mid-day walk. I pay for my girl to get a walk. I go for walks multiple times a day. My pug is chill and doesn’t worry about other animals. I only feed dry dog food, but will do anything for your babes.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. My experience in customer service has taught me excellent communication skills, and I understand the importance of keeping pet owners updated and giving them peace of mind. I love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine by making sure pets are fed on a consistent schedule, have fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I also keep their living area clean and monitor their health and behavior each day. Throughout the week, I set aside time for grooming, cleaning bedding and supplies, and making sure they have everything they need to stay healthy and comfortable. Providing reliable, compassionate care is important to me, and I enjoy creating a safe and happy environment for animals. I provide attentive and reliable pet care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. At my home, I have a fenced yard that provides a safe space for dogs to play and exercise under supervision. In a client's home, I respect their routines and care instructions, keep the pet comfortable in their familiar environment, and ensure the home is left clean and secure. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health and communicate updates to owners so they can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care. I enjoy sending regular photos and videos so owners can see how their pets are doing and feel connected while they're away.

“Allen and Bridget were amazing. They loved on Willie as if he were their own. They gave frequent updates and reassurance that Willie was safe and having fun especially with Beamer and Princess. Thank you so much!”
“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe.

We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“Taqueria took excellent care of my dog, Alec, over the 4th of July weekend. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with Alec again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Had a great experience with Samantha and Daniel! Everything went smoothly from start to finish. They have a wonderful, welcoming home that made me feel confident my dogs would be comfortable and well cared for. Communication was excellent, they were very responsive and kept me updated throughout. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Cat took great care of our toy schnauzer, Toby. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. I knew he'd had a fun time with Cat and her little pug. Your fur babies are in good hands with her.”
“I came down from Michigan to Florida for vacation. I had my 12 year old basset hound Poppy with me. I had Amelia take care of Poppy while I was visiting. Amelia and her family were awesome ? with Poppy. They seen to all of Poppy's needs including eye drop medicine that she needed every. Amelia was great. I highly recommend her and plan ask for services again the next time I visit. ??”
“Madison is so sweet! She and her mom care for the dogs and you can tell they love animals. She sent pictures and they loved it there. There were some changes in the schedule and she went out of her way to communicate and accommodate the situation. We feel relief knowing our girls are safe and well cared for!”
“Katie absolutely sets the bar for dog sitters. Just WOW. Simon loved her from the second he met her. The entire setup was amazing, from the backyard to the overall environment she’s created for the dogs. You can immediately tell how knowledgeable she is, how much she genuinely loves dogs, and how comfortable she makes them feel. We’ve had some great sitters before (and unfortunately some not so great ones too), but Katie is truly on another level. Simon had an amazing time, and we had complete peace of mind the entire stay. Could not recommend her more highly.”
“Natalie was great for Sadie, our Springer Spaniel. She sent photos and made sure that she was well cared for and looked good when I picked her up. We would do it again! Thank you Natalie and family!!!🐶”
“Stephanie and Justin are very kind people who made us feel comfortable and assured our pup would be loved and cared for. We recieved daily updates and pictures of Junior having a great time playing with their pup. We appreciate your great care and would definitely recommend you both to other people looking to Rover!!!”
“Kulfi was cared for very well by Jonathan! He was prompt in sending us updates with several photos and videos everyday. Even though there were multiple dogs that boarded at his place, Kulfi got the attention that was needed. We’d definitely recommend boarding with Jonathan.”
“Erica is very friendly, warm, and kind; she took great care of our 2 older dogs, including one that is taking daily medication. She sent us daily pictures and/or videos, along with messages about how they were doing. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”
