“Em was great! My dog is currently in her care for another stay while I’m away and i am totally at ease to know my dog is in the care of such a tentative person! Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

“Rachel and her family were great for boarding for our first trip away from our pup. I got photo updates and he was happy and content when we got him back. Will definitely use her again!”

“Blanca is amazing! She has so much Love and care for both Cooper and his parents.... This was our first time using Rover.com and Blanca. We will definitely 💯 be rebooking with Blanca. 💜”

“Bingo had a great time with Rochelle. I was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know but she was great with him and he adjusted quickly and seemed happy and content. She sent daily pictures and videos!”

“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”

“so sweet and kind!!! constant updates throughout my time away, felt very comfortable, and I can tell he really enjoys taking care of fur babies ❤️ thank you ! Will definitely come back !”

“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”

“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”


“Joshua went above and beyond while watching our French bulldog. He kept us updated throughout the stay and made sure everything was taken care of. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Josh!”

“Cynthia was great with our two dogs. She went above and beyond to take care of them and make sure they were comfortable and happy while in her care. We couldn't ask for a better care giver for our dogs!”

“Lindsey and her family always take such great care of our baby! They’re incredibly accommodating and flexible and such kind humans. Our dog loves every minute with them and it gives us such peace of mind.”

“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”

“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”

“My babies loved their staycation! Christian kept me updated daily with multiple pictures and I could tell they were happy and well cared for. It had been 2 years since we took a vacation without them and were a little apprehensive, but after meeting with Christian I was sure it would work and it did. They really enjoyed playing with Khaleesi her dog. I can't wait now for next vacation.”

About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊

“Receiving daily updates and photos made me feel so at ease and truly showed how well my sweet boy was being cared for. It meant so much to see him happy and comfortable. So grateful for the love and attention he received and would absolutely trust them again!”

“Laura is incredible she took such good care of my two dogs. They are very anxious little pups, she helped them to feel calm and relaxed. Daily updates with pictures were consistent. When I picked up my pups they were calm and happy which is not normally the case. Usually when they have been away from me they are anxious when I pick them up and it takes several days to settle. You wouldn’t have known that I had been away. I really appreciate Laura and her husband. They were great gift during a difficult time for me when I had to leave quickly for my brother’s funeral. I will definitely use them again.”

“Caroline and Marilyn are THE BEST. They are caring and careful, and will treat your doggo like one of their own. I know my pup is getting the best care possible when he stays with them.”

The median cost per night for dog boarding in Downtown Jacksonville is $40

We needed a sitter to look after our dog when my wife need a C-section 3 weeks early. Em was already our go to and came in clutch to watch our dog while we added a new member to the family, our first child, a beautiful little girl. She even suggested dropping off some used swaddles from the hospital early so he could get her scent (great idea). We greatly appreciated her prayers. As previously, Lupin was well taken care of and we couldn't be more grateful for her ability to help us out with an unexpected timeline. Truly blessing.

Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.

Hannah was absolutely incredible caring for our dog, Rogan, for nearly four weeks. Rogan was treated like part of the family, and it was clear he felt right at home. She sent multiple pictures almost every day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and caring Hannah is—when it was raining and outdoor play was limited, she even went out and bought Rogan a toy to keep him entertained. That is above and beyond! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. We would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Another amazing stay with Sherrie and her family :) my baby loves staying with her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him! You can truly tell she loves animals and treats her guests like they are her own! 🥰🩷 if you are looking for the right sitter, book here!!!!

We can't say enough good things about Brent and David. This was the first time our two, 8 1/2 year old Boxers have been away from us for 8 days. We had left them a day or two with our daughter in the past and through that experience, we discovered they don't eat for a day or two over separation anxiety and basically mope. Not the case here! These pups didn't miss a beat! Healthy appetite every day, plenty of exercise with walks and outdoor playtime, sofa lounging, treats, love, pets, full - hands-on attention and just happy. Our guilt and worry disappeared pretty rapidly after seeing the daily photos and video we received. We could not have dreamed or asked for better care of our fur babies. We can now take trips without concern and will always use Brent and David! Our dogs were loved. Highly recommend, A+, Five Star #happyfurbabies #BrentandDavid #Rover

Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!
Sweet Ashley and her husband took great care of my 5 yr old Rat Terrier, Petey! They have a lovely home with a big grassy back yard not too far from us. And they have an 8 yo Daschund named Tank, who is very loveable and makes friends easily. They went on walks, played fetch, and he even slept in their bed! I don’t think Petey missed us one bit. He’s going back there next time we go out of town!
