Greetings! My name is Alex. I moved from South Florida to Jacksonville in 2005 where I attended the University of North Florida. I quickly fell in love with the Jacksonville Beaches and surrounding communities, so I knew I was sticking around after graduation. I completed a degree in education, and quickly accepted a teaching position with an elementary school in Mandarin, where I taught math and science for nearly 10 years! My free time is typically spent enjoying my backyard, but I also pass the time by gardening, playing music, and running to stay fit.

In 2007 I adopted a mixed breed puppy named George, and he has since been with me for every part of my journey. George has taught me a lot about pet ownership and all the ups and downs that it can bring. This year, he turned 16-years-old! I have shared a home with many other animals through the years, and they come and go, but George has been with me the entire time.

In 2020 a Staffordshire terrier named Mama joined the pack. Mama was found abandoned in the Jacksonville Southside area and brought to me temporarily before finding a foster home for her. The next morning I knew that she already found her home, and we started the work of adjusting her to her new life!

I will never know Mama’s history, and she came with significant physical and behavioral challenges (injury/surgery/aggression), but with care and persistence she has become a beloved part of my family. George has had a long and eventful life, but now has mobility and other issues that sometimes come with aging. My past and current experience with my own pets has given me a wide range of competency when it comes to pet care. Being a pet care professional with 9 to 5 pets allows me to provide care for the pets of other families around Jacksonville, and I look forward to doing so! You can rest assured that your family members, big or small, will be safe and happy under my care.

Hello! My name is Alex Ossi and I am a 23 year old recent graduate from Florida State University. I am currently living with my parents here in Ponte Vedra Beach while I work to save money and build up my Real Estate career. I have lived in the same house in Ponte Vedra my whole life, apart from my four years at Florida State. I have always had a very strong connection with animals, having a few dogs, a cat, and a rabbit growing up. I find great enjoyment being around and caring for all animals, which is the main reason I am usually the go-to person for my family and friends when they need someone to take care of their pets. My family’s current pet is our beloved Jake, the 10.5-year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. He has been the best dog we have ever had; he is such a sweetheart and loves to hunt lizards. We also had one yellow lab, and one black lab (who weighed 120lbs!) when I was growing up.

I have recently joined with Keller Williams at their Jacksonville Beach office and am in the process of building up my Real Estate business. It is a long and slow process, so I decided to earn money and fill up my free time with a second job. I discovered 9 to 5 Pets because I am great family friends with many of the current and past teammates, who have told me countless times how rewarding and great the company is. 9 to 5 Pets seemed like a perfect fit for me, with my strong desire to be reliable and my will to work, paired with my love for animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon!

Hi, I’m Amanda! I grew up in Ponte Vedra Beach, studied at UNF, and I’m a cat mom to kitty, Kira. I am a full time pet sitter in Ponte Vedra Beach and the surrounding areas. I love what I do because it creates flexibility and variety in my day to day life, and the best part is spending time with animals! I rescued Kira 2 years ago after wanting a kitty for nearly a decade, and she is such a huge joy in my life; I absolutely spoil her at home! I also love to travel and go camping; so I know what it means to have that peace of mind while away from home. I’m excited and happy to be your fur baby’s support while you are away!

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer Tatum and I am so excited to be working for 9 to 5 Pets!
While much of my background and bachelor degree is in Musical Theatre, my real passion is in caring for others – whether they have 4 legs or 2! For the last ten years I have worked in various capacities of the medical field as a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, from the office, to hospital floors, to the ER. My experiences cultivated a passion for mental health, and down the road I might consider pursuing a career as an Expressive Arts or Dance Movement Therapist. But I have just as much love and compassion for caring for the sweet little furry blessings in our lives – if not more! I am a huge animal person with a love of all creatures big and small, and from childhood to today there has never been a time when I didn’t live with all kinds of animals in the house – from dogs and cats, to geckos, rats and a horse, but she didn’t live in the house!
I was born and raised in Knoxville, TN, but life recently led me to be with my Mom and older brother here in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL so that I can focus on my family. The other things that fill my heart with joy are my music, dancing, bike riding, cooking, binge watching tv shows, and honestly loving on an animal for as long as it will let me! (I was also going to say hiking but I’ve discovered it’s a little different here than in Tennessee in that it’s all flat!)
Enough about me, because I am here for you and the precious furry ones of your family! Your comfort and peace of mind, as well as your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities – and I am confident that my attention to detail, medical background, and deep connection with animals will help you breathe a sigh of relief while you are away from home. I would be honored by the opportunity to be entrusted in their care!

My name is Lauren Bradley, and I was born and raised in the Saint Johns County area. I currently live in beacon lake off of 210 near Nocatee, but I spend most of my time in Ponte Vedra. I also spend time in Atlantic Beach all the way down to Saint Augustine. What can I say, I am a beach girl and always have been.

I recently joined Keller Williams Atlantic Partners at their Southside office as a Realtor. I enjoy the people and the training that Keller Williams provides. We truly are the best company out there. I am currently in the process of building up my real estate business, but it is a slow process. Since I do have free time in the real estate business, I decided I wanted to spend more of my time with animals. I have been around animals ever since I was a little girl. My mom used to have German shepherds which are one of my favorite breeds of dogs, but I really do love all pets. My grandparents had boxers for years which made us get boxers when I was born and we had them up until I was about 10 years old. We adopted 2 chihuahuas that were brother and sister. Unfortunately, the sister passed away a few years ago so now we have my beamer boy who is now 13 years old. He is one of the sweetest dogs I have owned. I also have a 3-year-old cat named Linx that I saved off of the side of the ride when he was about 5 weeks old. I pulled over and he came running up to me, he was just the cutest little boy. My boyfriend also owns a Great Dane and she is VERY energetic, so I tell myself, if you can handle her then I can handle anything haha. I have years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I have always had a love and passion for animals.

As a pet owner myself, I can understand having a little anxiety when you are away from your fur friends, but I promise you, at 9 to 5 Pets I will treat your pets like they are my own. I look forward to meeting all of you and your wonderful pets soon!

Peggy Sammarco

Pet Care Professional

Service Areas:

32082

Hello! My name is Peggy Sammarco and I am a mother of one fantastic son Michael. I lived in Jacksonville for 12 years and moved back up North to be with family for a couple of years. However my heart belongs here in Jacksonville! I moved down in March 2020 to Ponte Vedra working for Starbucks and absolutely love being by the beach. My next adventure will be to Nocatee.

In my free time I love to go to the beach and pet all the dogs I can, and find shark teeth. I love to ride my bike, spend time with friends, and I visit neighbors with dogs so I can give them treats and rubbins. I also like working on fundraisers for the military as last year I was privileged to work on a fundraiser for K-9’s For Warriors.

Pets have always been a part of my life. I grew up with Black Labs and an Irish Setter. When I moved out on my own I had a Doberman and lastly a Rhodesian Ridgeback and hound mix. My love for pets is energizing and it brings me complete joy to take care of them. I became a Certified Professional Pet Sitter 2 ½ years ago but have been caring for pets for many more years before. I am a responsible, organized and dedicated person who wants to share the love and kindness with your fur babies. I joined 9 to 5 Pets to follow my dream and passion to be a professional pet sitter and because of all the core values it stands for. My personal promise to you is to bring you peace of mind by cherishing your fur babies as if they were my own, to keep them safe and their tails wagging. I look forward to serving you!

FetchFind Approved Icon Website 150x150Hey there! My name is Tristen Lucessi. I am originally from California but moved to Jacksonville in the second grade. Growing up on both coasts I’ve been blessed with the luxury of always being near the ocean. I love the beach and being able to get out of the house and just be a part of nature. Hiking, fishing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and pretty much anything else that gets me out in the sun I’m there for.

As long as I can remember I’ve always had animals in my life. My mother is a bit of a California stereotype, being that she has always lived the “nomadic/hippie lifestyle” which always included a plethora of furry friends. At one point I believe we had something like 5 cats, 2 dogs, a couple hamsters, and an African grey parrot named Peatree. At times it did feel like a zoo, but I wouldn’t have wished for anything else. Having this opportunity to be a part of your pets’, and by extension, your families’ lives is a true pleasure, and I very much look forward to providing all the love and care your pets deserve.

FetchFind Approved Icon Website 150x150Hello, my name is Velvet and I am very excited about this opportunity to be a part of the 9 to 5 Pets Team! I moved to the Jacksonville area about 2 years ago and currently live in Atlantic Beach. I was born and raised in central Illinois but am loving all the things Florida has to offer. I’ve been a paramedic for 23 years and my other two passions are animals and photography. There’s never been a time in my life that I didn’t have dogs and cats. I have volunteered and fostered for many rescues in my life. I currently have 5 little dogs, they are all seniors and all rescues. I love all animals, but seniors and special needs animals hold a special place in my heart. I am excited to leave behind my medical career and start a new chapter taking care and loving your animals as you would love and care for them. I’m ready to meet you all and your wonderful fur babies!
