We provide an alternative to kennels for Jacksonville's pet owners. Our service area covers the Beaches, Intracoastal West and a portion of the Southside.

Your pet is a highly valued member of your family and always deserves the BEST possible care and attention when you cannot be home. We are experienced, professional, ADULT sitters who provide your pet(s) with love and attention in the familiar and safe environment of YOUR own home while you are at work, out of town, on vacation, or when you simply cannot be there.  By choosing our service, there is less stress for YOU and YOUR PET(s) because we come to YOU.  Our personalized loving care and attention helps maintain the routine that your animals need.

As caring and loving pet owners ourselves, we understand the concerns you may have regarding your pet(s) when planning a vacation, business trip, weekend away, or just an evening out.  They’re NOT just animals; they’re part of the family!  They’re friends and confidantes.  You love to spend time with them, but you have an active lifestyle and may travel or work long hours. Your schedule doesn’t allow you to give your pet(s) all the love, affection, and exercise they fully deserve. 

Perhaps a mid-day potty break for your dog is warranted during the course of your work day.  Or maybe a morning or afternoon walk that will allow them to stretch their legs and burn off some of that excess energy they’ve been storing up.  We can visit once a day to fill in, or several times a day if you are away.

By choosing A Friend in the Woods you are allowing your pet(s) to maintain their daily routine, in the familiar, safe, and secure environment of their home.  There’s no exposure to other animals.  You save time by avoiding trips back and forth to the kennel.  You’re not putting any strain on your neighbors, friends, or family by having to ask them to stop in and take care of your pets.  With A Friend in the Woods you can rest assured that your pet and your home are in good hands.  We pride ourselves on being professional, responsible and conscientious.

Every animal has its own personality.  Each pet owner has different requirements.  We do our very best to accommodate ALL special preferences – pets and people.  Each and every visit is tailored specifically to YOU and YOUR PET(s) needs.

We provide flexibility, dependability, reliability, and lots of TLC.  By following the normal daily routine to which your pet(s) are accustomed, we are able to keep your pets happy, healthy, content, well loved, and active in your absence.

Hiring a pet sitter is an important decision every pet owner should make at some point. Not only will your sitter be responsible for caring for a member of your family, but he or she may have access to your unattended home. You need to find a sitter that is reliable, knowledgeable, responsible, and trustworthy. We encourage all potential clients to ask questions and become completely comfortable with ANY service they hire.

This is what we do PROFESSIONALLY.  The team at A Friend in the Woods is trustworthy, competent, and we can handle any and all situations that might arise.
