“Molly was simply the best dog sitter we have ever had. She was caring and kind to our puppy, and even sent pictures and updates to me. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Victoria was so accomodating! We needed a sitter last minute for our pup, and she made the time to come over for a quick meet and greet too. Victoria let herself in, took care of our girl, brought her to brewhound, then locked back up. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Mackenna did an amazing job with Bux and Bru! She was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Both pups were happy, well-cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!”
“After having a terrible experience with another sitter through Rover I cannot recommend Jeweliana & Riley enough!!!! They provided easy communication and lots of photos completely erasing the stress I normally feel when we are away from our pets on travel. We will definitely be using them again!!!”
“Brianna was great!! Was on time, kept both pets on their feeding schedule, played with them and even washed their bowls for me! Will be using her in the future and recommending her to anyone needing exemplary pet care.”
“Jennifer watched our three pets for almost two weeks and did a wonderful job! She slept at our house, took the dogs on walks, and sent pictures all the time. We will definitely be utilizing her services in the future :)”
About: New to Jacksonville. I’ve owned plenty of pets growing up, experienced with dogs large and small. Very patient with animals in general. I own a French Bulldog, his name is Billy. He is very energetic, and gets along with everyone. I own a food business and bartend part-time, so my schedule is flexible. My mom will also be home around the clock, for extra supervision. There’s plenty to do around my neighborhood. Billy will also be there to keep them company whenever they want, and will respect when they just want to chill.
“Cam sat for our dog, April, for a week and took wonderful care of her! We had a meet and greet with Cam prior to the sitting and felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. We received updates throughout the week on how she was doing. She went on lots of walks, played frisbee in the dog park, and took a few car rides (with our permission of course!). Cam is a fine young man whom we trust to pet and house sit, and we look forward to using him again soon!”
About: Growing up in a home full of animals and with my parents being veterinarians, I truly believe that our pets are not just pets, they are family. You can rest assured that with my experience caring for my own family's pets, shadowing at my parents' vet practice on my pre-vet path, and with my master's degree in animal behavior your four-legged family will be safe and comfortable under my care. I am currently in between work after finishing graduate school, so my schedule is very flexible to give your pets the care and attention they need. It’s easy to worry about our pets when they’re out of our sight. Under my care, you can rest easy knowing that with my knowledge of animal health and behavior from my education and shadowing experience at a veterinary practice, I keep a keen eye out for any health or behavioral issues which may be affecting the comfort of your pets.

So professional throughout the whole process. Will definitely be committing to Amy for future home sitting and dog sitting needs!”
“Camden was amazing! She sent us lots of photos of our dog while we were away and made us feel very comfortable. She was able to stay longer than we originally expected too. Highly recommend!”
“Mark is awesome sauce! He is a very calm individual who my dog is OBSESSED with, he has a lot of pro tips, and has helped us with the behavior of our dog. He is responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to be around.”
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! I'm best available Thursdays & Fridays, but can sit any night. 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.

East Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Morgan has been wonderful! Not only was this a last minute sitting with chaotic details, she has handled our dog amazingly💗 My dog Bailey isn’t easy she’s young, lacking in training , and a tad reactive to other dogs. But Morgan handled all of this with ease and sent several update pictures making it impossible to be nervous :) can’t recommend her enough!
Mark is amazing! He watched my dog and 2 cats for 10 days in our home and they were in amazing hands. He catered to my dogs health needs and treated them all as his own. He kept my house tidied and I came home from vacation to a freshly cleaned home. I am so happy to have found Mark and plan to rebook him in the future!
Not only is he incredibly reliable and kind, but he also went above and beyond by taking out my trash cans while I was away — such a thoughtful gesture. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and genuinely caring. Highly recommend him to anyone needing a great dog sitter!
Whenever I leave town, I can always be confident that my dog will be well taken care of by Meggie! She really is the best! She keeps me updated daily with texts and pictures too which is great! Meggie always goes above and beyond when watching my dog, and I always come home to the happiest girl! Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!
Paige was INCREDIBLE!! She is so communicative and thorough. She sent a ton of really adorable photos during her stay. We really are so happy to have found her. From the minute I met her, I knew that she was going to be responsible, patient, loving and great with my two needy pups. (One is a doberman, one is a Boston terrier...and they are both a handful!) :-) Thank you so very much for everything, Paige…you were amazing! You allowed us to not have the stress of worrying about our girls and you took such good care of them and the house while we were away. I don't think you can find a better person to take care of your pets!!!
Julia was very personable, professional and communicative from our first contact and throughout her stay taking care of our cat. She ensured we had clear agreement on start and end times and what we needed from her to ensure our cat had a consistent schedule. She sent updates and pictures regularly. She also left the house neat and clean. I really appreciated her willingness to care for our cat over the holidays. I will use her again when needed.
