Hello! My name is Abigail Norton and I’m originally from Oak Ridge, Tennessee. My family moved to Kingsland, Georgia when I was 10, and I moved to Jacksonville in 2023 for work and university. Moving to Georgia allowed me to discover my love of nature and science along the coast, and my passion has flourished since then!

I began working in the veterinary field when I was 15 and have learned many things along the way. Growing up with animals in the house helped a lot, as I believe the relationship between a person and their furry companion is uniquely special! I met my soul dog when I was 7, my dad got him as an anniversary present for my mom, but we had a connection the moment he came home. His name was Wicket and he was a basset hound/great pyrenees mix. Strange, right? I had never loved anything more, and everything I do related to animals is dedicated to him.

When I moved to Jacksonville, I began working at a vet clinic close to my university. This clinic taught me most of what I know now about the ever-changing field of veterinary science including animal behavior and basic medical knowledge. I can’t wait to use that knowledge to care for your fur babies the same way I’d want mine cared for!

Hi I’m Amber! I’m a Florida native and grew up between Jacksonville Beach and St Augustine! I lived around the US for the last 10 years and have made my way back to the relaxed beach vibes of Jax Beach. I’m here to shower your furry friends with love and care!

My passion for animals has led me into the world of pet sitting. As a seasoned dog walker, I understand the joy and companionship that our four-legged pals bring to our lives. While I don’t have a pup of my own at the moment, pet-sitting is the perfect way for me to channel my animal-loving energy!

Whether you have a playful puppy bursting with energy or a wise old tail-wagger, I am comfortable and experienced in taking care of dogs of all ages. I’ve had the pleasure of watching over a variety of adorable breeds over my years with Rover.

My goal is to make new pet buddies and ensure they’re as happy as can be during our time together. You can count on me to provide the loving and energetic care that your furry friends deserve. Plus, I’m more than willing to travel around Ponte Vedra Beach to cater to your pet’s needs.

Aloha, I’m Mike! I was born in Hawaii but grew up in North Carolina. As an adult, I had the opportunity to move back to the Islands where my wife and I raised our daughter and I spent over twenty years working in technology and marketing.

Five years ago, my wife and I made the decision to move back to Florida to be closer to our family. My wife, a teacher, is originally from Florida. Although it’s my first time living here, I’ve visited this area for decades and have a deep affection for the history and natural beauty.

My mom and dad loved animals and I have lived with cats and dogs since I was a boy. My family shares our home with two dogs and two rescue cats.

When my family went on vacation a few years ago, we hired 9 to 5 Pets to look after our pets. In-home pet care versus boarding while we were on vacation made our trip so much more enjoyable! We were updated with pictures and details letting us know what our children were up to, and that they were fine. I was so impressed with the phenomenal service, I decided that if I ever made a career change, I would love to be a part of the team that made both my family and our pets feel so secure and happy!

After this experience, it’s hard to recommend anyone board their pet if they have the option for in-home care. I’m delighted to provide your pets with the same exceptional care that 9 to 5 Pets provided my family.
