Check Pet Sitting Availability
Whether you’re working late, traveling, spending the day away from home, or planning a vacation, we follow your pet’s established routine and provide the attention, companionship, and care they need while you’re away.
Lucky Dog Pet Care works with you before service begins to understand your pet’s schedule, personality, care requirements, and household routine.
Personalized
In-Home Pet Sitter
A Pet Sitter You Can Trust in Your Home
Choosing a pet sitter means trusting someone with two things that matter greatly: your pets and your home.
Lucky Dog Pet Care takes that responsibility seriously.
Our in-home pet sitting is designed around your pet’s normal routine rather than asking them to adjust to an unfamiliar boarding environment. We review feeding schedules, potty routines, medications, behavior, preferred activities, household instructions, emergency contacts, and anything else necessary to provide consistent care.
Depending on the visit, pet sitting may include:
- Feeding and fresh water
- Potty breaks
- Litter box care
- Playtime and companionship
- Basic medication support when arranged in advance
- Checking bedding, crates, bowls, and pet areas
- Limited dog walking as part of the pet sitting visit
- Following written care instructions
- Visit updates so you know how your pet is doing
Every pet has a different personality and routine, so the care plan should reflect the individual pet—not a generic checklist.
Personalized In-Home Pet Sitting
For many pets, staying at home allows them to continue sleeping in their usual spot, eating their regular food, using familiar litter boxes or outdoor areas, and following the routine they already know.
That can be particularly useful for:
- Dogs and cats whose owners are traveling
- Pets whose families work long or unpredictable hours
- Senior pets
- Puppies needing additional daytime attention
- Cats that prefer remaining at home
- Multi-pet households
- Pets with established medication or feeding schedules
- Pets that may be uncomfortable in boarding environments

Why Choose Lucky Dog Pet Care for Pet Sitting?
Owner-Operated Pet Care
Lucky Dog Pet Care is locally owned and operated by Griffin Kelly. Clients aren’t simply hiring an anonymous national app or being passed through a marketplace of unknown providers. Lucky Dog is a local pet care business built around direct communication, accountability, and personalized service.
Griffin brings hands-on animal-care experience, including experience with different breeds, senior pets, reactive dogs, and medication routines.
Insured Pet Care
Inviting someone into your home requires trust. Lucky Dog Pet Care is insured for the pet care services it provides and approaches each visit with respect for your animals, your home, and your instructions.
Care Built Around Your Pet
Some pets want constant attention. Others prefer their space. Some require structured feeding schedules, medications, additional potty breaks, or special handling.
We take the time to understand those differences before care begins.
Clear Communication
Being away from your pet shouldn’t mean wondering what is happening at home.
Lucky Dog provides visit updates so you know that care has been completed and how your pet is doing.
Local and Accessible
Lucky Dog Pet Care is based in the Jacksonville area and serves pet owners throughout nearby Duval and St. Johns County communities.
When you contact Lucky Dog, you’re dealing with a local business rather than a distant customer-service center.
Pet Sitting vs. Dog Walking
These services are related, but they solve different needs.
Pet Sitting focuses on your pet’s overall in-home care while you’re away. Visits may include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter care, companionship, playtime, medications, and other agreed-upon routine tasks.
Dog Walking is primarily focused on exercise, outdoor activity, mental stimulation, and potty breaks.
A dog may receive a short walk during a pet sitting visit, but customers primarily seeking recurring exercise should visit our dedicated Dog Walking service page.
What Makes Lucky Dog Pet Sitting Different?
Pet sitting shouldn’t feel transactional.
Our goal is to develop an ongoing relationship with pets and their owners so that future visits become easier and more familiar. The more we understand your pet’s personality, habits, routines, likes, dislikes, and normal behavior, the better we can provide consistent care.
We combine:
- Personalized care — built around your pet rather than a standard package.
- Dependable communication — clear scheduling and visit updates.
- Local ownership — direct accountability from a Jacksonville-area company.
- Flexible visit options — care appropriate for different routines and schedules.
- Experience with different needs — including puppies, senior pets, medication routines, multi-pet homes, and pets requiring additional patience.
That combination is what we want Lucky Dog Pet Care to be known for.
Reliable In-Home Pet Sitting & House Sitting
Every pet is different. Lucky Dog Pet Care follows the owner’s instructions and adjusts each visit around the pet’s established routine whenever possible.
Pet Sitting and House Sitting Are Different Services
Pet sitting is primarily about caring for your animals.
House sitting includes additional agreed-upon attention to the residence while you’re away and may involve tasks such as bringing in mail, checking common areas, watering plants, or other basic household responsibilities.
If your primary concern is your pet, choose Pet Sitting.
If you need broader care for both your pets and your home, learn more about House Sitting.
