“Kaitland and her family gave love and Wonderful care to my dog. Mila , my dog looked happy, calm, and well taking care of when I picked her up. This made me feel so great. Thank you Kaitland and your family!!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“so sweet and kind!!! constant updates throughout my time away, felt very comfortable, and I can tell he really enjoys taking care of fur babies ❤️ thank you ! Will definitely come back !”
“Nhi was very good at keeping me updated about Toby 1st experience away from home, I thought his anxiety was going to extremely high, but every photo she sent he was very calm and relaxed, which made my vacation more enjoyable knowing he was okay. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Nhi”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
“Our dogs have the best time with Kelly! We appreciate how much space they have to roam, and the great attention to their needs. I highly recommend you consider Kelly to board your dogs. My girls are always super happy when we come to pick them up!”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”

“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“Wendy is an exceptional sitter!! She took suvh great care of my baby. She sent pics daily and kept me updated and my baby busy. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Wendy!”
“Megan is the best and takes such great care of our dog. We know she is well taken care of and has a blast when she is with Megan. We love that Megan sends regular updates with photos and pictures so we can see that our dog is being well loved. Thank you Megan!”
“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!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.
“They were so sweet and took great care of our little guy! Sent pictures and updates of walks -will definitely be our go to sitters if they are available! Thank you so much :)”
“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”
“Our dog spent a week with Linda and the two of them fell in love with each other! Linda was so kind and caring and followed though with all our requests for our very spoiled baby. She even sent us pictures of the two of them together. We'll definitely have her take care of our dog in the future.”

“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”
“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”
“Ashley was not only extremely communicative she was amazing with our very shy cats. She sent us amazing pictures every day and showed them an exceptional level of care. We were so thankful to have her while we were gone.”
“★★★★★ 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!”
“Isis was amazing. She took such excellent care of my cats while I was out of town. She sent pics of them all and followed up with me at each visit. One of my girls requires daily medication and Isis had no issues giving it to her. Highly recommend.”
“Matthew was terrific!! By the second day my shy cat was playing with him and getting pets by the third. Thank you for an excellent job! I will definitely book Matthew for future travel.”
“Hiro did an amazing job caring for my precious cats while I was on vacation. She was timely, sent a photo and was even so kind to water my plants. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Tania was straight forward, it was very easy to meet her and hire her. She made constant contact when showing go to my property to check in on my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend and book her again.”
“Lexi was great -- if she had any questions, she contacted us promptly, and she was very good about sending photos and videos to let us know how the kitties were doing.... even our ridiculously-shy kitty snuggled up to her while she was here. :-) Lexi was gracious enough to wait a couple of extra hours in the house until we got home from our trip -- this made things super-easy on us, and we are grateful for that. We just retired, and are planning to do some traveling in 2026; we definitely plan to hire Lexi to stay here during our future trips.”
“I’ve used Miss Brooke on several occasions and she hasn’t disappointed yet! On this time feeding and playing with my three cats, her professional demeanor and her desire to become friends with my problem cat, she out did her self once again. The cats wanted for nothing and Friday, the before mentioned problem cat, even started to warm up to her. She kept the litter boxes clean and washed all the dishes after the final feeding of the last morning. If you’re looking for a sitter for your animals you can’t go wrong with Miss Brooke! I will always be grateful for her service.”
“I was worried because that was the first time Demi, my cat was going aways for a few days to a different home. Megan sent daily photos, videos and updates that put my mind at rest. The cat was happy and relaxed when picked up. I would rebook and I strongly recommend her services.”
“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. My husband and I currently have two cats and one dog and all 3 are rescues. I love seeing our furry family grow and their insecurities from previous homes fade away. I also have experience with dogs who aren’t friendly with other dogs so should your dog need to be kept away from others on our walks I will use the upmost caution as if they were my own dog. Im happy to work with larger dogs and won’t take on more than I can control because the safety of your animals means more to me than just another buck. I’m an expert communicator and would love nothing more than to give you peace of mind that your furry family member is being taken care of.

“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”
“My two dogs loved going to daycare with Megan! She was very good at providing care suited to their inidividual temperaments-- my Tate is an independent explorer, and she allowed him to do his thing, while my little Bea is more timid, so she gave her a quieter space where she could relax while she was getting used to the other dogs before she warmed up and was ready to interact. Megan kept me updated with photos and videos so I knew my pups were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I would highly recommend Megan!”
About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!
About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.
“Anne was amazing!! I honestly was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but she kept me updated throughout the day! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”
“My pup, bandit, had a great time. I scheduled a day care for Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, as soon as I pulled into the drive way, Bandit got really excited. Jerome sent pictures both days and updates, he even fed him dinner which wasn’t necessary since I plan on feeding him when he got him but it was super kind of him!! Bandit is a high energy dog and when he got home all he did was sleep which is great! I would definitely recommend Jerome and I would use him again. He was very nice and accommodating, treating my dog as his own :)”

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!
About: Hi. I’m Lisa. I have multiple dogs. This is not a red flag—it’s a résumé. I’ve spent years deep in animal rescue and still actively foster, which means I regularly welcome new personalities, quirks, and mild emotional instability into my home. At this point, I don’t just “watch dogs”—I run a highly functional, well-managed society of them. We live on a private 5-acre property, so your dog will have space to run, explore, decompress, and live their best life (or quietly supervise from afar—equally valid). I specialize in: • Senior dogs (less teeth, more wisdom) • Anxious dogs (we respect boundaries here) • High-energy chaos agents • Dogs with ✨very specific personalities✨ • Medication routines (including the dramatic ones) Because of my rescue background, I’m extremely tuned in to dog behavior. I can read subtle cues, prevent issues before they start, and keep things structured, safe, and low-stress—even in a multi-dog environment. ⸻ 🐾 House Rules / Vibe Check • Kind dogs only (no true aggression—quirky is fine, chaos is fine, mean is not) • Must be safe around other dogs or able to be managed appropriately • Owners who understand their dog’s personality = my favorite people • Honesty about behavior/needs is required (I can handle a lot—I just need to know) ⸻ 🐾 What You’re Actually Getting (aka why I’m not the cheapest option) This is not a revolving-door setup or a “quick check-in” situation. This is: • Experienced, behavior-aware care • A structured, calm environment • Space to decompress (5 acres, not a crowded house) • Intentional management of all dogs in my care • Someone who notices the small things before they become big things I keep my bookings limited so every dog gets real attention, proper supervision, and a stress-free experience. ⸻ 🐾 Honesty Hour If your dog is: • A little spoiled → same • A little weird → preferred • A little feral → I’ve built my brand on this • A senior with strong opinions → immediate VIP access Your dog won’t just be “watched.” They will be understood, respected, and gently obsessed over. ⸻ 🐾 What You Can Expect • Frequent updates + photos (yes, probably more than you expected) • Consistent routines based on your dog’s needs • A calm, confident sitter—even when dogs are being… dogs • Thoughtful, individualized care ⸻ 🐾 Bottom Line This is my life, not a side hustle. If you’re looking for experienced, reliable, premium-level care—with plenty of space, structure, and someone who genuinely gets dogs—you’re in the right place. Fragile angel, chaotic goblin, or distinguished crusty legend… all are welcome here. My schedule is currently very open—which means your dog is getting full-time, high-attention care, not a “fit them in between errands” situation. I’m home most of the day, so dogs in my care are: • Rarely left alone • Let out frequently (because tiny bladders + strong opinions are real) • Closely monitored for mood, appetite, and overall vibes • Given attention on demand (or respectfully ignored if they’re in their “don’t perceive me” era) This setup is especially ideal for: • Seniors who need extra support • Anxious dogs who do best with consistency • Small dogs who believe they are in charge (I respect it, I just manage it) Because I’m consistently present, I’m able to keep things calm, structured, and safe—even with multiple dogs. I notice the little things early, adjust as needed, and make sure every dog is comfortable in their own way. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and stress level are my top priorities. I live on a private 5-acre property with multiple secure yard areas, which allows me to tailor each dog’s experience. Dogs are never just “turned loose”—everything is intentional, supervised, and based on their individual personality and comfort level. I do have larger dogs in my home—but they are extremely small-dog savvy. Through rescue and fostering (over 1,000 small dogs), they’ve learned to be calm, respectful, and appropriate with tiny dogs. That said—if your dog prefers space from larger dogs, that’s absolutely not a problem. I’m able to use separate yard areas and manage groups accordingly so every dog feels safe and comfortable. Because I foster and manage multiple dogs regularly, I’m very experienced in: • Reading dog behavior and body language • Safe introductions (or choosing not to introduce at all) • Structured group management and separation when needed • Preventing issues before they start All dogs (mine included) are always separated for feeding and meal times until everyone is completely finished. This is a strict safety protocol I never deviate from. Dogs can be crated if needed (or if that’s what they’re used to), and I also separate for rest and decompression to keep the environment calm and low-stress.
“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”
About: Hi! I’m Priscilla, a lifelong dog lover and pet parent who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds and senior dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks, so I take the time to follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, meals, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone dependable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Your pets aren’t “just pets,” and I’ll never treat them that way. ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present with the dogs in my care throughout the day. I’m available for doggy daycare and overnight boarding, and I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, play, and rest schedule as closely as possible. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to feel confident about where your dog is staying. I prioritize safe introductions, supervision, routine, and a comfortable home environment. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, crate, and care instructions carefully and send regular photo and video updates while your dog is with me.
“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!”

“Ashley was wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our little Australian Shepherd on his walk. She kept us updated on how he did, including his potty breaks, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, family friends’ dogs, and other pets. I currently care for three dogs and two pet snakes, so I’m familiar with meeting the needs of different animals and keeping a consistent routine. I’ve helped raise two litters of puppies, giving me experience with dogs from newborns through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning enclosures, playtime, and giving medication when clear instructions are provided. Most of my experience is with small dogs, though I’ve also cared for larger breeds, including a pit bull. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. I believe every dog deserves patient, attentive care and someone who treats them with the same love and respect they give us. This stays truthful while highlighting your experience in a way that helps build trust with potential clients. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available before 9:00 AM and after 1:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly so pet parents know they can count on me. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and happy
“Matt was AMAZING with our pit/boxer mix, Frank. He was prompt and timely every day and posted lots of photos to help ease my “pet withdrawals” I will definitely use Matt on a regular basis and will recommend him to all of my dog parents. 10 out of 10 fantastic!!!”
“Macy is punctual and wonderful with my dog. I appreciate the effort she puts into each walk and really makes the most out of the time. Highly recommended her.”
“Haley has routinely walked our dog for months and each and every day I give her a 5 star review. She is caring, attentive, responsive, and patient with both our dog and cat. I have only the absolute best things to say about Haley!”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my life, including my own and those of previous clients, friends, and family. As a veterinary technician, I see new feline and canine pets on a daily basis, providing compassionate and efficient care to all. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sized, and can provide care for a many medical needs. I have also been a volunteer of the human society as a dog walker for many years during my free time, walking dogs with many different temperaments and needs. Additionally, I’ve been a foster parent to many neonatal or underage litters, providing around the clock care in my own home. Animals are my passion, and I’ve dedicated my life to ensuring all animals I meet receive the best care possible. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, so my schedule is limited to the weekends and Mondays. I am willing to perform walks after my work shifts, typically after 6 PM on weekdays. Unfortunately, I am not offering boarding or sitting services at this time. While performing walks, I will ensure your pet will be attended to at all times while away from home and away from any potential dangers such as cars, wildlife, and unfamiliar lets or strays.

“Anne was amazing with Ocean! She kept us up to date and sent over lots of pics. We are new puppy parents so we were super nervous about leaving her behind for the first time but Anne put our minds at ease. She was awesome!”
About: As the saying goes, we truly do not deserve our pets. Most of us know this already. But our pets do deserve someone who not only recognizes this fact, but actively works to desperately earn that love and affection they shower us with day in and day out. I am that person :) I am currently between jobs with a bit of a financial cushion to keep me steady for a few months. This will fit in perfectly with my schedule because it’s completely free right now. I am in school right now for Human Services but that will not affect my work. My girl (Maggie) has her crate from when she was a puppy and that’s still very roomy for her, but she doesn’t use it really unless she’s pouting before i leave and she knows she’s not going with me. My house is very clean and she always has fresh water, plenty of potty breaks and lots of pets. Maggie is a bit of a ‘petmaxxer’ where she will consistently bother me until she receives enough pets, but let me tell you, there is never enough pets for her! She’s is my life.
“This is my first experience with Rover. Asher is amazing and I am so glad I did this for my dog. Asher is always on time and Charlie is so excited to see him, I can barely get the leash on. He is kind and loves Charlie. I highly recommend Asher B.”
“Nancy is fantastic! Super flexible and I love her recaps of the visits with my 2 dogs. I have already rehired her for many more walks in the future. So glad I found her! Highly recommend!”

“Kaitland and her family gave love and Wonderful care to my dog. Mila , my dog looked happy, calm, and well taking care of when I picked her up. This made me feel so great. Thank you Kaitland and your family!!”
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“so sweet and kind!!! constant updates throughout my time away, felt very comfortable, and I can tell he really enjoys taking care of fur babies ❤️ thank you ! Will definitely come back !”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
“Our dogs have the best time with Kelly! We appreciate how much space they have to roam, and the great attention to their needs. I highly recommend you consider Kelly to board your dogs. My girls are always super happy when we come to pick them up!”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you…thank you, Shannon. Your services for carrying for Benjamin is superior and the best we have used in Jacksonville. Benjamin is very well cared for and looks forward to visiting :)! You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”

“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“Wendy is an exceptional sitter!! She took suvh great care of my baby. She sent pics daily and kept me updated and my baby busy. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Wendy!”
“Megan is the best and takes such great care of our dog. We know she is well taken care of and has a blast when she is with Megan. We love that Megan sends regular updates with photos and pictures so we can see that our dog is being well loved. Thank you Megan!”
“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!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.
“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”

“Gissell and her family were the best. She sent regular updates throughout the day. She and her family loved on my fur babies and made them feel right at home. Definitely rebooked before current visit was done.❤️”
“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!”
