“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
“This was Rebekah’s first time sitting for our two cats and she was amazing! Our usually shy cat warmed up to her instantly, which is rare and meant so much to us. She sent great photos and videos and took excellent care of our babies. We felt totally at ease and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Alivia is amazing! She sent a ton of updates and photos during the visit. Our babies absolutely loved her ❤️ 10/10 recommend her for your fur babies. Will be booking her again in the future.”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
“Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!”
“Kara was so great! She helped me in such a short notice and my dog Boone was taken care of. She sent pictures, updates, and communicated well. I would definitely recommend and will hopefully get to use her services in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.
“Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were on vacation! They were very responsive, the cats were happy, and I’d definitely book them again :)”
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
“Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!”
“I had a last minute trip out of town and the sitter that I typically use was out of town as well. I took a chance on this lovely couple and they were phenomenal. Not only did they jump into action and take a brand new client last minute, but they did not disappoint. My animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Tyler and I am a Jacksonville native. I have been in the pet sitting/dog walking business for over 16 years. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. I can administer medications and assist with grooming. In the past 7 years I have specialized in senior pet care. I look forward to caring for your babies as if they were my own! I am currently offering daily dog walking/pet check-ins. I also provide boarding services at my home, where your baby will be a member of our family. I live in a house with a locked, fenced in, back yard. I have children so safety is my number one priority. For boarding services I accept "CRATE TRAINED DOGS ONLY" I occasionally need to run errands and for the safety of all the pups staying I prefer to crate all pups while I'm gone. My dog named Sage passed away 4 years ago. She was my baby for 16 years. Now we have an indoor/outdoor cat named Cali. During the day she loves to sun bathe in the back yard and snuggle up in her bed at night. While caring for your pets I follow all instructions for your home and make sure your baby feels loved while you are not home.
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.
About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. Currently I have my dog Kota, and my best friend’s dog Brandi who I am looking after for the next 3 months. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me, Kota and Brandi can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have also cared for my own cat for many years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m a full time college student as of right now I have a job at my college that is very flexible to where I can make my own hours. Since it’s summer I don’t have classes so I’m free every day of the week! The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone else’s pet and home, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Englewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rebekah is absolutely exceptional. We trusted her with our cats while our family was overseas, and I honestly cannot imagine having enjoyed our trip as much as we did without her. She provided outstanding care for our pets and cared for our home as if it were her own. During our trip, she discovered a flea issue and immediately jumped into action. She purchased supplies, treated the cats, helped treat the house, kept us informed every step of the way, and handled a stressful situation with professionalism and genuine care. Knowing Rebekah was there allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation instead of worrying from thousands of miles away. She is dependable, proactive, communicative, and truly cares about the animals and families she works with. We came home to happy cats and a home that had been cared for with incredible attention and dedication. We are so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her without hesitation.
Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again
Risa was a blessing to have, she took great care of our 3 dogs. Just as she would if they were hers. She came by our house very prompt and spent time walking our dogs , playing with them , feeding them and even hanging out in the house with them when the weather was rainy. They loved her as well . I would definitely rebook her for future appointments and recommend her. She takes her job very serious 10 ⭐️ out of 10 ⭐️
Em was absolutely great with Juniper! Juniper is very slow to warm up and Em had her comfortable by the end of her first visit. She sent updates and pictures. Communication was great and Juniper was one happy puppy. Highly recommend Em! We would love to work with her again!
Here’s a more organized, polished, but still super casual version with a bit of extra warmth: Justin did an awesome job with my two chihuahuas. They’re usually pretty skeptical of new people, but he was patient enough to get them outside and calm enough to actually go potty, which is a win in my house. He also followed all my oddly specific instructions for my quirky little dogs. Really appreciated how attentive and easygoing he was. I’d definitely book with him again.
There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!
