“She took such good care of our sweet girl! They went on the best walk and she was very diligent in making sure she could get into the house and all of their pet needs were met! 💕”
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!
“Aaliyah was wonderful and communicative throughout. Evie loved her and was a much happier dog when I came home from work. My cat loved her too. Going to be having Aaliyah over much more often to help with the pooch.”

I work typically from 4:30 pm - 11 pm, before work i am at my clients house then after I get off I immediately go to my clients house about 30-40 minutes is how long I typically stay unless I can stay longer.

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’m a dependable, caring, and responsible pet lover who understands how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for when you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, keeping up with feeding and walking schedules, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I’m also very reliable when it comes to communication, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship during the day, or someone trustworthy to care for your home and pets while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and am used to planning my day around the needs of others. I’m able to make time for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I’m very organized and dependable, so I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I also enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to rather than something I have to fit in. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is kept as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also give pets plenty of attention and affection while still respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Maiya is absolutely amazing! She always kept me updated when she was leaving and when she arrived at my house, and she sent me pictures and updates about my dog. My dog absolutely loves her and was always so excited to see her! I could rely on Maiya 100%, and she always made sure he had plenty of food and water while I was away for a week. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
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!
“Izel is excellent! He is such an easy going person, great to talk to, and great with our dogs! My youngest pup has high anxiety, but he sat down on the ground with her and she started to warm up to him. He is accommodating and understanding, definitely recommend him!”
“Shelby, was wonderful with helping me walk my dog. She was attentive to my dogs needs and pleasant to talk to and you could tell she really cared about making sure my dog got plenty of exercise.”

About: I grew up around big dogs and have always had a love for animals! Most recently, I cared for my 3-year-old Boxer, doing the majority of her training and daily walks. I also have around 5 years of pet-sitting experience for family, friends, and neighbors in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and am cat-friendly, too!

My apartment also has a convenient dog-washing station, which I’m happy to use upon request so your furry friend can return home clean, fresh, and happy. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! 🐾❤️
“Alex is the best dog walker ever. She provided plenty of exercise for Yoyo and even helped to fix my lock. I had some issue with my smart lock before and she made sure my lock is fixed and door is securely locked before she left. She is kind, sweet and patient. Definitely will use her again.”
About: Hi everyone! 🐾 I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter and dog walker in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine areas. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, and pet parents can count on me to make sure their furry (and fluffy!) family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand the importance of meeting each animal’s unique needs, routines, and personality. Creating a calm, loving, and nurturing environment is always my top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I’m currently available on weekends, Tuesday and Thrusday all day , and with advance notice, I’m happy to discuss flexible or special arrangements whenever possible I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, walks, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. By treating every pet like part of my own family and respecting their individual needs, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and at ease while their parents are away.
About: I have personal experience with my own animals since a very young age. I will care for them as my own and make them feel loved as if they were my own I work a full-time job and a job at night. I have time on the weekends to walk and pet sit. It goes based each week individually because my schedule changes. I will follow all of your rules and request up for your animal to ensure their safety and that they have the best time while in my care

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fruit Cove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
