“Stephanie took great care of Mac while she was house sitting! She took him on daily walks, sent daily updates, and was respectful of our home. I would use Stephanie again in the future!”

“Roni was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. I have 2 large dobermans and she disciplined, cared and loved on them with ease. She is brilliant! She was constantly in contact with me sending images etc and she is a wonderful person.”

About: Petcare is not just a job but a privilege for me. I will treat your fur babies as my own! I have loved animals all my life, have had many of my own over the years, and have been actively pet sitting for friends and clients across Jax for the past four years. I've watched pets with special dietary restrictions and have experience administering medicine/supplements to them. I've cared for both senior animals and young puppies. I'm active and can take dogs on extended walks and am happy to even take them on my favorite hiking trails around Jax if they're up for it. I'm retired so I have a very flexible schedule to give your pets plenty of attention, bathroom breaks, walks, or whatever else they need. I make sure to closely follow each owner's care instructions and try to keep your pet's regular routine to make them as comfortable as possible in your absence. I'm also happy to accommodate any idiosyncrasies or peculiar needs they may have (I have held umbrellas for dogs sensitive to the sun but love their time outside). I will treat your home with the utmost respect and am happy to water plants, take out trash, or do any other tasks that would be helpful while you're away. I create a safe, calm, and loving environment by supervising all pets closely, keeping spaces clean and secure, and following each owner’s care instructions to make sure every pet feels comfortable and protected.
“Adam is so wonderful with our pups and we all are so glad we found him! They are wonderfully cared for and I know get plenty of attention and activity while we are away. I say this as they are happily taking a little afternoon snooze. Adam is very communicative and so nice. He is responsive to messages and gives great updates which is always appreciated. Would not hesitate to recommend him to others and will definitely continue to book. Thanks again Adam!”

“Parker absolutely loved her! Sent photos of my pup to me throughout her visits and went above and beyond! Thank you for helping me out so last minute I APPRECIATE YOU!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Cathryn! She took such great care of our two Frenchies, and our home, while we were out of the country for two weeks. We knew they were in good hands and we appreciated her taking care of some things around our home.”

“Lesly was a phenomenal sitter! She was available to watch my 2 kitties at the last minute and was very responsive and thorough. She sent me updates and pictures and made me feel so at ease while staying at my apartment. I would highly recommend booking with her for any device you need!”

“Andra was the best person to have stay with our dog, Odi, while we were out of town for almost a week! She sent pictures/videos daily- we were so at ease knowing Odi was in good hands and being so well taken care of. Thank you SO much!”

“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. 🩷🩷”

“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!”
“Day is the BEST! This is the 2nd time she pet/house sat for me and they were so happy to see her come back... even the cats... and they can be very choosey. I feel so comfortable now when I go on vacation or work trips, knowing that my dog, cats and house are in great hands. Day goes above and beyond pet and house care!”

About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and cared for animals for many years. I love animals especially dogs. I have one dog of my own named Lilo. I recently moved to the area and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I am a teacher so I can provide pet care evenings/weekends/ school breaks. I am happy to do overnights as well if I can bring my dog. I can care for dogs overnight if I can bring my dog. She is a small wire silk hair dachshund & gets along with other dogs.

“Carrie was the absolute best sitter for our two dogs. She was punctual, sent pictures often and even went above and beyond in cleaning our dogs water and food bowls without even being asked. She truly cared about our dogs well being and asked important questions about their schedules and individual needs without being prompted. Carrie even left the TV on a dog channel for them when she left even though I forgot to ask her too. I was stress free during our time away knowing our dogs were in great hands! I would highly recommend Carrie for your next booking! 😊”
About: I joined Rover last month with the goal of providing exceptional care and service to each pet that I encounter. I hope by proving excellent services to establish a strong client base. Doing so will be a challenge with so many wonderful pet sitters, but I know it is possible! As a child, my family and I always had dogs and cats. As an adult, I continue to have a passion for all animals. This passion drove me to become very active board member of an animal rescue, The London Sanctuary. The London Sanctuary is a local hound rescue based in Jacksonville, for over 10 years. There is a 20% off the first booking promotions to any new clients. I currently working at compounding pet pharmacy. Pet care seamlessly integrates into daily and weekly routines by creating a structured framework that benefits both the pet and the owner. I would be staying at your house. I believe this helps your pets feel more comfortable in their daily routines that are already established. 🐾
“Willow was awesome! Great communication, several visits to the house for a meet and greet and to go over protocol before the actual pet sitting and super sweet with the dogs. Reliable, trustworthy and diligent. Thank you Willow!”

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 at the meet and greet. Have a fenced-in yard at home with a security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is calm and well-trained.
About: I have always had cats in dogs, and I feel like especially dogs are great for humans to have around. Over the years I have had 4 dogs, 5 cats part of our family...and one bearded dragon. I used to care for 2 different sets of 3 dogs weekly from the time I was 9 until I was 19. One set of dogs also had pond fish and a cat to take care of. I have had my dog for 11 years, she is a rescue from Puerto Rico. I trim my dogs nails, brush her teeth and do other grooming all myself. I have trained maybe a dozen puppies, but have not worked in a veterinarian's office. I have cared for horses and exotic birds on a bird ranch before, although the dogs on the farm were my main focus. I'm up early with my dog, and then off to various parts of Oregon or Florida to work. I make my own schedule and need more dogs in my life, so Rover helps facilitate that need. I follow instructions, and otherwise just try to be your pet's friend while keeping things clean. I like to sit with animals or interact in a way where they get to know me, and offer my attention if they want it. Walks are big for me, but yard play is more appropriate for some dogs. I try to find something the pet and myself can bond over, that way they aren't as nervous when their human is absent. I like to make nicknames for pets too, and talk to them with baby talk when it's just myself and the animals.
About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.
