“Amy was a godsend! She was punctual, communicative, and prepared. Best of all, she is a gentle and respectful spirit who our rambunctious dog took an immediate liking to. I look forward to using her services again and would recommend her without reservation.”

About: I grew up surrounded by pets my entire life- mostly cats and dogs, but we also had fish, turtles, tortoises, gerbils, and even a few ferrets at one point! I know how much pets are our family and strive to provide the best care for yours. I've dog/cat sat for family and friends for years now and have become known as everyone's go-to pet sitter. I have extended out to some family friends and acquaintances as well and just really enjoy spending time with pets! My longest clients have had 4 different boxers in the 11 years I've been sitting for them. Their elderly boxer passed away earlier this year, and I was responsible for giving him medications including oral chemo for the last few years of his life. Additionally, my cat passed away a few years ago at almost 22 years old- she was on a steady medication since she was 16, as well as some other prescriptions throughout the years. Therefore I am comfortable with senior pets, giving meds, etc. Thank you for the opportunity to love on your pets when you cannot be home. I am always happy to do pre-booking meet and greets as well. I live in San Marco, and currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm in the downtown area. Therefore I'm mostly available evenings and weekends at this time. However, I am available for overnights during the weekdays as I do have some flexibility in my schedule and if it's not too far from downtown, as I could go by your home for a mid day potty break/quick walk. This would probably work best for cats, or for dogs who can make it 4ish hours without needing a potty break. Could discuss further if interested! I'm very attentive and will make sure your pets are safe at home and/or on walks. I love to hang out and spend time with pets, especially since I currently don't have any of my own! I have a lot of experience with senior pets as well, and am comfortable giving medications.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.
“Kristie watched our two cats and two dogs overnight and was very communicative. She sent photos and updates and clarified instructions for my high needs 16 year old shih tzu. We appreciate all the care and attention to detail!”

“Our boy absolutely loves when Johana pet sits for us. She’s great at keeping us updated and is always a considerate guest in our house. We’ve used her many times and will continue to in the future!”

“Kristin was awesome! Our dog loved her and she gave him took great care of him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a polite, trustworthy sitter.”
About: I have been walking and sitting dogs and cats for over eight years now, and have had dogs of my own since I was a toddler! In addition, I work for the Jacksonville Humane Society; cats and dogs are my jam! A pet-care pro, I have walked and sat for both puppies and senior dogs from big to small. I am currently a part-time worker, so I have plenty of time for furry friend action! I am available both weekdays and weekends--anytime you need! I am very experienced at adapting to a pet owner's environment, and understanding their routines. I shape my work and actions to what suits you best, making sure to adhere to any requests, and respecting your space.
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 😊
“Ruby is AWESOME. Attentive, great communication, punctual, and warm. I didn’t think it was possible to feel comfortable leaving our babies in a strangers care but Ruby went above and beyond. We have a shy pup whose trust she was able to gain and an older dog that was delighted to have a snuggle bud for the day. I can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely use her in the future.”

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️

“Lee was very responsive and kept me updated with pictures the entire trip. Teddy looked like he was having an amazing time! I would definitely reach out to Lee again in the future!”

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

So grateful to have Stevens support when we went out of town for the holiday. We forgot to book in advance and Steven was available right away, same day, even made time to stop in and introduce himself to our dogs before we left. Looking forward to having him sit our doggies again! 🐕💜💕

Bayli was absolutely amazing watching our two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly communicative and responsive the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and in order, which we really appreciated coming back home to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and owners feel comfortable. We would 100% trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!

Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.

This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!
