House Sitting In Colony Cove

“Jeweliana and Riley were phenomenal! We were initially skeptical since we had never used Rover before, but we’re so glad we found them. They were very communicative, kind to our dogs, and took excellent care of our home. I’m so thankful to have found people who get along so well with our pups and make us feel comfortable while we’re away, knowing our babies are in great hands.”

“Wow! I knew once meeting Scarlett that I had made the perfect match for my pup, Curbie. She and her daughter, Markie tag teamed at my house while sitting with my pup for almost 2 weeks. They both are animal (dog) lovers— you can tell that in the meet and greet by the questions she/they asked about caring for my older dog. I got updates and pictures even knowing I was out of the country and I might not have received them Scarlett and Markie still sent them to reassure Curbie was in great care. He was happy when I got home. Scarlett cared for my home too. She left it cleaner than when I left for my trip. She even washed her bed linen— I will be using her again and recommending her in the future to those who need a sitter for their pets of varied breeds and sizes. It’s scary to leave your pets in someone’s care but I was at ease knowing Curbie was in excellent hands.”

“So many pics of our babies hanging out, on walks, and just enjoying their time. Amber took great care of our two large dogs and 3 cats, giving them plenty of attention, outside time, and walks!”

“Victoria was amazing with our girls, and gave them all the special attention needed for the 4th of July festivities. We’re so appreciative to feel confident in the great care she takes with both our senior dog and young one, as well as our home.”

“Hailey has been great with my little one! She kept communication open and sent me updates. I felt comfortable leaving Poppy with her and would definitely contact her again for my future needs.”

About: From a young age my grandma volunteered me to help look after our neighbors pets. But it never felt like a chore. I mean, is there any better job? I'd start with one house, & word of mouth had me sitting for a handful of neighbors! Overnight as well. Sitting was always for dogs, & I'm already a long time cat owner, so I'm the best of both worlds! I work part time as my main job, so I can pop in or stay overnight to look after your pets no problem! Whenever you need me, I'm there! I'm very respectful of my clients homes. I'll always leave it how it was found. Your pet will get all the care they desire, & the care you demand.

“Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She was an easy choice for me - she communicated professionally, was very cheery at our meet and greet, and listened intently to every detail I shared about my cats. She cared for my cats like they were her own! I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!

“Illeana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)”

“Adam was wonderful! He was so responsive and provided plenty of pupdates and pictures. He was very good with my special boy and I never had to wonder for one second if he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Adam and will continue to reach out to him if I need a sitter in the future. I would give more than 5 stars if that was an option.”

About: I’m an animal care professional with over five years of hands-on experience in shelter work, neonatal fostering, wildlife handling, and veterinary clinic support, and I’m currently a student looking to go into the vet med field. I’ve cared for everything from bottle-fed kittens and young puppies to senior pets, livestock, reptiles, and native wildlife! My background includes medication administration (oral, topical, and subcutaneous), post-surgical recovery support, behavioral observation, enrichment planning, and multi-species handling. I can confidently say that I am highly attentive to subtle changes in appetite, energy, and behavior, and that I prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress care, as the health and well-being of the pets I attend to is what’s most important. I have extensive experience with: • Neonatal kittens and puppies • Fearful, anxious, or under-socialized animals • Medication routines and special-needs pets • Multi-pet households • High-energy or working breeds Inviting someone to care for and look after your furry friend is no small feat, and I take great pride in being given the privilege to. I provide consistent updates, clear communication, and dependable care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities :) Pet care is something I intentionally structure into my daily and weekly schedule! I make sure to maintain a consistent routine and only accept bookings I can reliably commit to, ensuring each pet receives focused, unhurried attention. I always prioritize punctuality, clear communication, and keeping pets on their normal feeding, medication, and enrichment schedules to reduce stress while their owners are away. Because I have a background in structured animal care environments, I’m comfortable balancing multiple routines while staying attentive to each pet’s individual needs! Safety and low-stress handling are always my top priorities! I carefully follow all care instructions provided, including feeding guidelines, medication schedules, and behavioral notes. I always take time to observe each pet’s comfort level and adjust my approach accordingly, especially with shy or anxious animals. In clients’ homes, I respect boundaries and maintain a clean, secure environment, double checking doors, gates, and enclosures, and ensuring pets are safely contained before entering or leaving. I’m sure to avoid introducing unfamiliar stimuli and maintain a calm presence to help pets feel secure. If I notice any changes in appetite, behavior, or energy levels, I will always communicate promptly so owners can stay informed.

About: Hi! My name is Ariana. I have worked with animals for over 15 years and have owned animals all my life. My favorite animals are cats, but I love to hang out with dogs as well. I have owned and am knowledgable with Jack Russell Terriers, Beagles, and Labrador Retrievers. I previously worked at a few pet stores as a Pet Care Associate as well as a Veterinary Assistant and a Dog Bather for a few years. From these previous jobs, I have learned many things about different types of pets and their behaviors. I have a full time job outside of Rover that is an 8-5. I also have an Associate’s degree in General studies, a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, and I am pursuing a medical coding degree so that I am able to work from home and have more time pet sitting! In the meantime, I would love to spend more time taking care of animals while continuing my education and Rover allows me to do just that. Can't wait to love and care for all of your fur babies! I try to be as flexible with pet parents as I possibly can when it comes to scheduling any services. I will work with anyone’s schedule to provide the best care! From the time that I wake up to the time that I go to sleep I am taking care of animals. I currently have one cat named Kiki. When I care for animals, I care for them like the loving creatures that they are. Taking care of an animal is like taking care of a dear friend. When I worked at different pet stores I lived and breathed caring for animals and put thought into each and every animals’ care. Now that I have my own pet sitting business, I want to do that very same thing with your fur babies. I would love to care for them as if they are my own and would drop anything and everything to make sure that they had the best care imaginable.

“Hannah was amazing with our 2 dogs. We had a 10 day trip and have never left them for that long. She stayed at our house with the dogs. She took excellent care of them and kept us updated in how they were doing. We definitely recommend Hannah and will be calling her again.”
