“Alena is so patient and kind with my dog. He is really nervous during lightning and thunder, and we have had terrible weather all week. Alena took her time and calmed him down. So grateful she was there for him.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From guinea pigs to chihuahuas to pitties. I’ve yet to meet an animal I didn’t like and I don’t plan to ever. I spend time volunteering at the local Humane Society to learn how to better care for animals like yours. I’m a full time student looking to make most of my income here on Rover. I also spend a few hours a week at the Humane Society. I've had animals as long as I've been self-aware. My family dogs include a senior chihuahua and a 7 year old pittie. At home, my family includes two kitties, Moomin (5) and Toro (1), who are both from the Jacksonville Humane Society! They are my pride and joy and I consider them my sons. I work well with all pets. Doesn’t matter if they’re skittish or energetic. Please do not hesitate to let me know the specifics of your pet’s care needs. It is my duty to cater to their personality! Additionally, I will be sure to send lots of pictures to update you while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with cats, dogs, and senior pets, and I know every animal has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications if needed, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care with advance notice. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always follow the care instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I also have experience with oral and dental care for dogs, as well as administering medications if your furry friend is prescribed!

About: I’ve cared for a few different types of animals, including cats (especially elderly), small dogs, hamsters, bunnies and reptiles. I’m very comfortable with taking care of these types of animals! I am currently a full time student with internship, and I have a part time job, I started pet sitting because I love taking care of pets! I will care for pets however the client prefers their pet to be cared for. Every pet is different and has different needs, I will do my best to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: I love animals and I have been around animals my entire life. I provide an exceptional amount of care, attention, and communication to pets and pet owners. I take time to learn each individual animal and their needs. This allows me to care for pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable caring for animals who may need extra supervision, consistent routines, and senior pets who may require extra accommodations. I prioritize keeping pet owners informed through regular updates, photos, and messages so they can feel confident and still connected while they are away. I always want to make sure I meet the pets needs and make them feel safe and loved while under my care. Pet owners can count on me to follow instructions carefully, maintain routines, and provide a safe and positive experience for their pets. I strive to build trust with both pets and their owners, creating a stress-free experience that keeps tails wagging and owners at ease. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening walks, feeding, consistent playtime, and attentive care throughout the day. At my home, I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets are treated like family. I follow feeding times and ensure there’s a cozy place for them to rest. I make sure pets are supervised, have fresh water at all times, and are kept in a secure environment. I also accommodate special needs such as medication, crate training, or specific routines.

About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life since I was a kiddo. This is a new venture for me with Rover specifically, but I’m excited to get started. My goal is to be sure your pup(s) feel happy and at ease, comfortable, protected, spoiled, fun and playful, having a day that mirrors the day as if they were with you. It’s important for them to be excited to see you as if nothing was different for them. I have extensive experience with all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs, as well as other animals. I’m able to give medications, work with special needs, basic training, seniors and babies, I will be present and attentive to their needs, following your guidelines. I’m excited about this new adventure and appreciate the opportunity. My availability is wide open and I’m looking to establish a continuous opportunity for folks and their pets. I’m available for daily/weekly sitting, drop-in’s, walking, and extended or scheduled times. It’s important to me for your fur baby to feel comfortable with me, trusting and at ease. I will always follow your guidelines, suggestions and instructions with handling, walking, playing, crating, treats, food, medications, whatever is needed and expected. I will reach out if there’s questions on any issue. I am committed and ‘present’ while caring for your special pet. I appreciate the opportunity.

About: As a pet sitter, several factors set me apart from others in the field and contribute to the exceptional care I provide to furry companions: 1. **Tailored Care Approach**: I believe in personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. By taking the time to understand each pet individually, I can provide a customized experience that meets their specific requirements. 2. **Training Expertise**: I have specialized skills in training puppies, teaching basic commands, leash manners, and socialization. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and consistency in training, which can help puppies develop into well-behaved and confident dogs. 3. **Senior Care Experience**: With experience in caring for senior pets, I am familiar with the specific needs of older animals, such as joint issues, mobility challenges, dietary requirements, and medication management. I provide gentle and attentive care to ensure their comfort and well-being. 4. **Healthcare Knowledge**: I have a good understanding of pet health and hygiene practices, including administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing basic first aid if needed.

These qualities, combined with my dedication to excellence and professionalism, make me a standout pet sitter who goes above and beyond to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's how pet care typically fits into my schedule: 1. **Daily Routine**: - **Morning:** Start the day by feeding the pets and taking them for a morning walk or play session to help them burn off energy. - **Throughout the Day:** Provide additional meals, snacks, water, and potty breaks as needed. Engage in interactive playtime or cuddle sessions to keep the pets entertained and emotionally satisfied. - **Evening:** Feed the pets their evening meal, take them for a walk or potty break, and engage in more playtime or relaxation before bedtime. 2. **Weekly Routine**: - **Grooming:** Schedule grooming sessions such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning as necessary. - **Exercise:** Plan longer walks, trips to the dog park, or other forms of physical activity to keep the pets healthy and stimulated. - **Training:** Dedicate time for training sessions to reinforce good behavior, work on obedience commands, or address any specific training goals. - **Healthcare:** Stay on top of veterinary appointments, medication administration, and general health monitoring to ensure the pets are in optimal health. By integrating these activities into my daily and weekly routine, I can provide consistent care and attention to the pets in my care, fostering a strong bond and ensuring their overall well-being. Flexible scheduling and adaptability are key to accommodating the individual needs and preferences of each pet under my supervision. As a pet sitter or caregiver, I provide personalized care for pets in both my home and clients' homes based on their specific needs. Here are some general ways I ensure the well-being of pets: 1. Feeding: I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. 2. Exercise: I engage pets in playtime, walks, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. 3. Potty breaks: I maintain regular potty breaks for dogs and clean litter boxes for cats. 4. Medication: If needed, I administer medication according to specific instructions provided by the pet's owner. 5. Comfort and companionship: I provide pets with love, attention, and companionship to reduce stress and anxiety while their owners are away. 6. Safety: I ensure that the environment is safe and free of hazards that could harm the pet. 7. Communication: I keep pet owners informed about their pet's well-being through updates, photos, and messages. 8. Special care: For pets with special needs or medical conditions, I provide extra attention and care as required. These are just a few examples of how I care for pets in my home or my clients' homes, tailored to each pet's unique needs and preferences.

About: I love dogs! I work from home, so your fur baby will get attention all day. I am a homeowner with tons of toys, and plenty of time to play with and love on your pup. While your dog is vacationing with me, I do my best to follow his or her normal routine and schedule closely. I love playtime and make sure all of our furry friends get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. If your pet has unique needs, I’m always happy to discuss accommodations ahead of time. My home is a dog-friendly family environment with a fully screened-in lanai and tile/hardwood flooring throughout the home. I’m located in the Bartram Park area. For boarding stays, please send only the items your dog truly needs during their visit. While I do my best to keep track of belongings, I care for multiple dogs at times, so I recommend keeping sentimental or irreplaceable items safely at home. I work from home and will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Please let me know if anything needs to be done at a specific time or if your pet has any unique needs. Safety is my number one priority. I have gates throughout the home and work hard to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. If you have any specific concerns, please let me know ahead of time.

“Thank you, Heather! You made it much easier for my husband while I was away on an extended vacation. When another walker I had contacted failed to arrange a meet and greet as promised, Heather was very responsive and we were able to meet the day I contacted her! Heather is reliable and always arrived on time, which Mallory appreciated. Mallory enjoyed her daily walks and she is in tip top shape! We definitely will be booking walks with Heather in the future.”
