“We needed someone to care for our puppy while we came to town for a funeral and Beverly provided great care! She was very communicative and reassuring as this was our first time using this service!”

“We left our dogs with Sammy while we hiked. We didn’t have cell service most of the trip and she was flexible and accommodating. Our dogs loved playing with hers. We would reach out and book with her again!!”

About: Hi, I'm Anna! Animals (of all shapes and sizes!) are my passion. I've been fostering, rescuing, and providing pet services for 6+ years. I am very attentive and hands on. I'm happy to play with high energy dogs and go for long walks, or just sitting on the couch with a lazy bones. I know what it's like to work full time and worry that your fur baby is lonely or bored. I'm here to help! I am also an avid cat lover! More than happy to kitty-sit. I have a flexible schedule and will be able to accommodate yours. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own at home. They are comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I would love to go on walks and play with your dog(s) and cats! My occupation is solely pet care, so I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, drop in visits, and attention. I have a large fenced in yard so your dog (or dogs) will have lots of potty breaks outside play time in a safe, controlled environment.
“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I have spent most of my life caring for pets. I currently own one dog named Mackey. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention they need. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I can use that opportunity to provide plenty of walks and breaks as needed for your pet. My current dog is indoors. All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.
About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.
“I needed someone to keep our very new puppy, without any experience with puppies I didn't want to put her in the little cage. So I searched on Rover and found this very wonderful family. They were very helpful, kind and accommodating especially since she hadn't completed her shots. If you are looking for someone to treat your furry family member like their own family you have found your sitter. They helped tremendously..... Thanks”

“Absolutely had to give Chyna 5 stars! Rocky was obviously very well taken care of! Chyna kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos. Rocky got fed on time, played with, and even watched a movie while getting lots of cuddles! We are so happy with Chyna and her services and will most definitely be booking again! She is the best!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
About: I am a responsible and attentive pet sitter. Ensuring they have plenty of outside breaks, food, and water for the animals. I spend time understanding from the owners what their pets enjoy.?? I retired to Jacksonville to be with my daughter, and my schedule is very flexible. I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was 6 years old. We go for walks in the local park and the building is pet friendly with a pet yard that they can play in. I adhere to my client's rules in their own house. I make sure I understand the meals, medication, and exercise needs of their pets. I work to complete training needs. Providing a loving and fun environment.

“Phillip was amazing ! I had a last minute appt and he was very accommodating. Hutch tan right over and bonded with Phillip. He sent lots of pictures and I felt good knowing Hutch was safe and sound while I worked to show boats to my client. I would absolutely recommend Phillip and use him again!”

Avondale dog parents share their Rover experiences
They jumped right and helping with potty training Jaxson. He really loves going there! They have been very helpful. I have not had a puppy to train before and they are so patient with my puppy! They jumped right in when we needed help with care and our schedules were keeping us so busy! They rescued us!

Our 13 year old dog Auburn is very shy, but she warmed up to Brenda quickly. We received photos, and Auburn looked comfortable and relaxed. Our son is moving to Jacksonville in the near future, and we plan on using Brenda again when next in town. We highly recommend her to watch your pet.
Brandon was very knowledgeable and very straightforward! He gave many tips as he observed my Rock that will help us greatly and raining my puppy to be the best as I am a first time dog owner. Brandon even was lenient with the pick up time on a holiday! You are greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy your NEW YEAR! Blessings to you and your family.

Makenzie did amazing with my baby Zara, she was very nervous after getting spayed, recovering, and having to wear a cone and she did a great job watching to make sure Zara had a safe recovery, she even cleaned and disinfected her incision site. She was very responsive and sent photos and updates through out the day, it was a great experience for my first time using rover.
