Dog Sitting Fruit Cove

“She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. I would definitely hire her again.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 20 years and have regularly cared for pets of friends and neighbors over the years. While I’m newer to Rover, I’m very experienced with pet care, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable and safe in a home environment. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and treat them like my own. I understand the trust and concern when leaving your pets and will keep them safe. I currently work from home. I am available weekends for in home pet-sitting and visits. I can do some walking/ visits during the week depending on where you live and will help out if you have an emergency. I especially have flexibility for the JCP area. If your dog stays in my home then I am available 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly 7 year old pug that is very good with all dogs. I share my home with my husband and teenage daughter, both are very comfortable around dogs and will give your pet all the attention that they are comfortable with. We are home and will make sure you pet is not left alone, but will give them space if they need it. They can be as close and get as much attention as they choose. We are dog people!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I have experience with cats, dogs, and senior pets, and I know every animal has their own personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medications if needed, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight care with advance notice. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always follow the care instructions you provide. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. I also have experience with oral and dental care for dogs, as well as administering medications if your furry friend is prescribed!

“Sarah was great and I felt totally comfortable with her pet sitting for us. She even got to pet one of my cats that is very skittish and usually doesn’t come out!”

“We are repeats for Katelyn! Harley and Buddy love when she comes to care for them. We love her photos and updates. Happy zoomies and snuggles are the highlights of the day! Absolutely recommend Katelyn and look forward to having her care for the fur babies again!”

Dana K.

“Very punctual and took extra care of our two dogs. It was a short notice booking and she was able to accomodate us. She kept us up to date throughout the visit. I highly recommend Carleen to anyone who needs a helping hand .”

About: I'm a retired RN. I've owned dozens of pets. All of them, from precious newborn babies to seniors. Pets have always been a huge part of our family lives in all of our homes. Their sweet innocence is so heart-warming to experience as they grow old with you. My mantra is, Treat them like they're your own! Pets, as well as their Humans. I'm retired and have plenty of time on my hands to play with and enjoy your fur-babies. And pet care fits perfectly because it brings so much joy to my life. I have a dog and a cat. They are both well-trained, which is why I generally leave them in the house to roam. These 2 are the best of friends;) In a client's home, of course, I will respect their wishes and rules for a great sitting experience, which we all can enjoy!

About: I’ve always taken care of my family, friends, and neighbors dogs and cats for a while now and I have always loved doing it! I’m currently only in school for a couple hours, 4 days out of the week and would have plenty of time to take care of any animals in need. The days of the week I would be able to watch pets would be Monday-Thursday, I go out of town sometimes on the weekends however I am very flexible. I have a fenced in yard for my dog and a crate she only uses for bedtime. My cats and dog are allowed to roam around the house freely.

About: We have had my family dog for over 10 years and I had the pleasure of learning how to train a puppy. From potty training to teaching her tricks, it was such an experience to be able to grow up alongside a furry family member. I typically work about six to eight hours a day, monday-friday. I am completely free nights and weekends and am willing to do check-ins as needed. As someone who owns pets, I would want a caretaker to treat them with the best care they can provide, which is what I strive to do.

“Aaliyah is amazing with our young puppy! She is always on time, communicates very well, and we totally trust her. You can tell she really cares and has a passion for what she does! Would recommend 100%!”

About: I have two dogs of my own and have been a reliable pet caretaker in my neighborhood since I was young. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own dogs. I start school in January, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I am committed to making sure your dogs feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly small doggies that love to meet new friends. I have an extra crate available also if needed!

About: Hi! I’m Alisha — a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who treats every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and that’s something I take seriously. Whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and will always follow your pet’s routine exactly as requested — from specific feeding instructions to medications or preferred walking routes. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am typically available after 3pm on weekdays and open on weekends! Feel free to reach out and I can let you know my availability! I have a fully fenced back yard, and a pretty spacious home. I have two dogs, to ensure your peace of mind if I host your loved one in my home, my two fur babies will be on the second floor completely separate.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a dog owner, I know the importance of patience, trust-building, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved. My rescue dog, Orville, has taught me the value of meeting dogs where they are, whether they need extra reassurance, structure, playtime, or simply a calm companion. I take the time to learn each pet’s habits and preferences so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free while their family is away. I have always enjoyed helping friends, family, and neighbors by caring for their pets. While I have not provided pet care professionally before or through a platform like Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals and understanding their needs. My experience may not be formally documented, but it comes from years of genuine care, responsibility, and love for all animals. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative. Your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Thursday through Saturday, I have flexible availability and can provide care throughout the day. I currently work four days a week until 3 PM, so Sunday through Wednesday I'm available after 3 PM. I am happy to work with your pet’s schedule and routine! I love spending time in my own backyard, but I also enjoy exploring new places! My pup loves adventures, so we often visit on-leash parks for walks, fresh air, and new experiences. I enjoy giving dogs opportunities to safely explore, get exercise, and enjoy the world around them while always keeping their comfort and safety a priority. Play is a constant in our household! I believe playtime is about more than just fetch. I enjoy incorporating scent games, enrichment activities, and mentally stimulating games into a dog’s routine to help keep them happy and engaged (esp. if it's extremely hot or rainy)!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From guinea pigs to chihuahuas to pitties. I’ve yet to meet an animal I didn’t like and I don’t plan to ever. I spend time volunteering at the local Humane Society to learn how to better care for animals like yours. I’m a full time student looking to make most of my income here on Rover. I also spend a few hours a week at the Humane Society. I've had animals as long as I've been self-aware. My family dogs include a senior chihuahua and a 7 year old pittie. At home, my family includes two kitties, Moomin (5) and Toro (1), who are both from the Jacksonville Humane Society! They are my pride and joy and I consider them my sons. I work well with all pets. Doesn’t matter if they’re skittish or energetic. Please do not hesitate to let me know the specifics of your pet’s care needs. It is my duty to cater to their personality! Additionally, I will be sure to send lots of pictures to update you while you’re away.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life! I’ve had many exotic, farm and typical pets who all live happily at my family home. I have a cat of my own living with me here in college:) I have been working as a kennel technician for a year now doing grooming, cleaning, administering medication, exercising and more for dogs of all sizes. I am currently working part time so I am available to check in on pets multiple times a day as well as do an extended visit/stay if needed as much as my daily shift allows:) I am a person dedicated to the happiness and safety of pets. As a very avid animal lover I will always treat your babies as my own and ensure they are being cared for both emotionally and physically while you are away. I have seen a few horror stories about pet care experiences and would love to give you the relief of knowing someone cares about your loved ones. I have many pets of my own and understand boundaries when it comes to animals. I am more than willing to do any task needed to keep pets comfortable and feeling like normal even if they might seem a little silly!

About: I am a caring person who loves animals. I have grown up having dogs and cats myself and have always loved helping friends and family with theirs. I know the struggle of finding someone you can trust to care for your pets when you are traveling. I have lived in several states with the military and finding a reliable pet sitter can be a hard thing. I have a large fenced back yard and a doggie door so your dog will have plenty of room to run and play in a safe environment. I enjoy being outside and taking walks through our neighborhoods here in Florida and would love to help with your pet during the day. Our pets are our family and I would love to include your furry family too. I’m currently a stay at home mom and with my girls at school I have plenty of time to support your (and your pet’s) schedule. I have a fenced yard and our pups are treated like family. I am comfortable with your pets in my home or dropping in on them in your home if that’s more comfortable for them.

“My dog loves Sarah and it is easy to see why. It’s because Sarah takes excellent care of her! It’s great to have someone who treats your dog exactly like you do.”

“Very polite and responsive. Even asked if she could bring her sister along which was awesome of her! Chunk’s energy threw her for a loop, so I’m glad it all worked would! Definitely recommend!”
