House Sitting in Forest Trails, Jacksonville, FL

“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”

“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!!!”

About: I’ve spent over 15 years in the pet care world, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of settings — from veterinary clinics and kennels to long-term boarding facilities, doggy daycares, and canine training, including work with both gentle companions and those with behavioral challenges. At home, I share my life with two Australian Shepherds and three other wonderful dogs. To me, pets are far more than just animals — they’re family. The bond we share with them is one of life’s greatest rewards, and I believe their physical and mental well-being is the foundation for that special connection. Every tail wag, happy bark, and content sigh reminds me why I do what I do. Pet care is my passion, which means I’m available to meet your pet’s needs any time — day or night, seven days a week. My typical schedule allows limited weekday care, staring at 5pm. I am available anytime on weekends. I have a large, secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to play and help keep visiting pups engaged and happy. If your dog prefers a quieter pace, I’m always ready for one-on-one time — whether that’s playing, going for walks, running, hiking, exploring, or simply snuggling. No pet should ever feel unwanted, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own.

“Dillon is awesome! He was our house/dog sitter for six days while we were out of state. it was so nice to come home to a happy dog and a clean house! Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Stephanie is everything I wanted for my precious baby! She's a great communicator and sent me some great pictures on a daily basis. She's responsible and shows her love of dogs. Took the worry and stress out of leaving my sweet Bruster. I even think he'll miss her!”

“Laura was amazing as always with our girls! She takes such good care of them and communicates daily with us! Can’t wait to have Laura watch them again. 🩷🩷”

“10/10 Recommend. ShaRonda was wonderful to my fur babies, communication was excellent. Even my shy kitty came out to greet and get some love. I’m so happy with how professional and friendly everything went. I felt super at ease while away on my trip, especially knowing my dog Sunny has anxiety issues along with storm anxiety. Wonderful feeling knowing that she took care of my babies as if they were her own. Will absolutely hire again if I have another trip!”

“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”

About: Hi, I'm Jess and I have a deep love for animals, they have always been one of the greatest joys in my life! My very first job, at just 11 years old, was walking all the dogs in my neighborhood. Every birthday wish I made as a kid was for a dog of my own, and when I turned 12, my mom finally blessed me with my baby, Toto. Even at that young age, I cared for him with so much love, nurture, and responsibility. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, ferrets, horses, goats, and all kinds of animals. Whether it’s going on long walks, cleanup, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, with lots of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make life a little easier for both of you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day as well as evenings. I love incorporating time with animals and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific needs and routine. When I’m caring for your baby(ies), I always make sure to respect both the pet’s routine, demeanor, boundaries, and the owner’s space. Whether I’m at your home or mine, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would with you. I’ll follow any instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving extra cuddles. Your pet will feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. When they’re with me, they’ll be treated like family. I’ll give them all the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve, while making sure they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed. My goal is always to make them feel at home, wherever they are.

About: Hi there! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working at Pet Paradise and Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. On top of that, I’ve been a lifelong pet owner—dogs, cats, hamsters, and even snakes! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, your pets will always feel safe and loved with me. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start and end my days with my own two cats, Anais and Cleo, so I’m already in the rhythm of feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I take extra care with things like locking up, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. You can trust that your home and pets will be safe and well cared for.

About: Hi, you are looking at a lifelong animal love who just quit her corporate job to love on dogs full time! 🥰 About me: active, healthy, woman in my mid 40s with lots of love to give. My mom raised maltese pups since I was a little kid. I raised my own mini dachshund since I was 18 who lived a full life until she crossed the rainbow bridge at 16.5 years old. I also had many cats and rescued a pup that wandered into our front yard. Dogs are MY life, so I happily welcomed Jaxie (mini dachshund) into my family in Feb '20. He is such a sweet boy - loves belly rubs, hunting lizards, and playing with all his furfriends. If you have a friendly pup who enjoys the company of another friendly pup, come on over! Your pup will have so much fun. Jaxie plays very nice (very submissive, is always on his back, even with chihuahuas) and loves to get chased and be chased. Jaxie is not food aggressive. And, he's not toy aggressive either - he loves sharing his many toys with his furfriends! Or, if your pup doesn’t want to play, Jaxie is great matching his energy level to other pups. We’ve had many older pups here where Jaxie leaves them alone out of respect. On the other hand, he’s also amazed pet parents by getting their older pups to play! My 24/7 job is to take care of your furbaby I'll be home with your furbaby all day, watching over them, snuggling them, and making sure they stay safe and enriched with playtime. We have lots of toys here! House is organized and clean at all times. My fiance is a firefighter who works 1 day on, 2 days off. As such, on his off days, he's home all day. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very small and quiet neighborhood. Backyard is fully fenced and backs up to a creek. No neighbors in the back. Whenever your pup is in the backyard, I am always out there. Your pup is never unattended outside. Your fur baby can sleep and hangout where ever they want (couch, bed, dog beds). If your dog loves walks, we'll go on walks. If your dog has a sweet tooth, we'll get pup cups! Or, if your fur baby just wants to chill, we can do that too! I sync my energy level to your dog's energy level. I do not take any other dogs during the same time period as I am caring for your pup. I can do drop in visits or walks if you live fairly close to me. Finally, I am a good communicator (can't you tell by this dissertation; ha!) and will send updates and pics at least 3 times a day. If you want less, just let me know. :) My daily routine revolves around my own dog, so rest assured your dog will be treated like family, and will be given the same amount of care and attention; dogs are #1 in my household! When I take care of your furbaby, ensuring your furbaby is happy, fulfilled, and loved is my number #1 goal! We can do meet and greets via Zoom or at my house. Your call!

“Chrissy accepted a very last minute request to watch two of my dogs. She took time to do the meet and greet even though it was last minute. Chrissy was wonderful and will definitely recommend. You can tell she has a love of animals and that shows in how she cared for them. She communicated often and send lots of pics while we were away. Thank you Chrissy!”

About: Hi there! I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic pups and cuddly cats to chatty parakeets and even a hedgehog or two! I’ve personally cared for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 parakeets, providing each with a loving, attentive home. Over the years, I’ve also looked after countless pets for friends and family, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or something in between, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I specialize in multi-pet households and understand how to balance different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime in the yard, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure each one feels safe, seen, and loved. With me, your pets get a caregiver who’s full of positive energy, patience, and a whole lot of heart. As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a large portion of my day to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need to feel happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them like family. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide the most comfortable and familiar environment possible. In the client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and your pet’s usual schedule, whether that means feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time with them. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your pets), and make sure everything is just as you left it.

About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time, however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby. Have a fenced-in yard at home with security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 4-year-old German shepherd who is calm and well-trained.

About: Before moving, I use to work at UF vet hospital as an assistant and technician. While working there I would house-sit and pet-sit for the doctors I worked with. I have been in the animal field for at least 3 years and continue to be in this field. I also have experience in primary care. I have two pups of my own. I currently work part-time and would have plenty of time to watch over your loved fur-ones. I’m free majority of weekends and mostly the week days. I live in an apartment so having them over will be a little challenging but I’m happy to work with it. I have two dogs who are friendly and love making friends. If your pet is more comfortable in their own home, I am happy to keep them all the company.

About: I grew up in a pet friendly house since the age of 4. Me and my siblings had dreams of becoming vetnarians. I'm always home and spend that one on one with each pet individually. Getting them that attention is always priceless! I have a large front and back yard with room to run, large garage area that we are converting into room but currently serves well where dogs are allowed to be free to these play areas! Pets love the extra exercise! My pets are very comfortable with being in and out of the house they are fully aware that they are a part of the way I live everyday 🥰 I have pets of my own so it automatically becomes natural to have a routine with them they live inside so they routinely go out throughout the day at least 4 times as well as play time ☺️🥰

“Great job with the pups”

“I was referred to Anna via a coworker. My fiance and I, and all my fur babies, were very happy with her service! We received endless photos over a 36 hour period that Anna was watching our two dogs and two cats. The dogs looked extremely happy in all the photos and you could tell they were getting lots of love and energy burnt out of them. They are two large labs with a lot to give, and it takes a little bit to tire them out. She left our house as it was before our visit, and it was as if she wasn't even there. We look forward to using Anna in the very near future for drop ins, and will definitely use her for future house sitting when we go out of town without the animals!”

“Melanie went above and beyond my expectations. She is a great communicator, obviously adores animals and is very conscientious. I couldn’t have left my little girl in better hands! I highly recommend her.”
