“Victoria was so accomodating! We needed a sitter last minute for our pup, and she made the time to come over for a quick meet and greet too. Victoria let herself in, took care of our girl, brought her to brewhound, then locked back up. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Our first time having a dog sitter, Stella was awesome, she sent frequent updates and pictures daily and fun walks. Our dog is a senior, moving to a new home she has anxiety she really warmed up to Stella which is impressive. When we arrived home our house was nice and clean, and a very happy dog waiting Highly recommended!”
About: I've been taking care of pets for family and friends since I was 16. I truly love spending time with animals and giving them the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I'm home in Jacksonville for the summer and taking online classes, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they need. I always try to make pets feel safe and comfortable, whether I’m in my home or yours. I stick to their routine, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. I’m also super respectful of your space and treat your pet like part of the family.

About: I’ve been surround by pets full time past 5 years. I am here to help with whatever you need! Walk, bath, feeding, snuggles, care, following routine, special diet needs. I have a flexible schedule since I am a student so am open to a range of times. I am able to work with your schedule to see what is best for your needs. I do not have pets at the moment, so am really excited to give pets extra love when I can!!

About: My interactions with pets came in the form of an 8 week old puppy named Lola gifted to me for my birthday. Lola is now turning 10 years old and having her has gifted me the experiences of interacting with other pets. I have had the pleasure of dog sitting, play dates, and dog walking pets of various sizes and ages for the last 10years! I truly love the bond that dogs hold with humans and as someone that’s looking to turn a passion into a career, I’m so excited to have the time to take this opportunity to start. I currently work a part time job with a flexible schedule which is the perfect scenario for pet walking and pet sitting! I live in a home with a fenced in back yard. I have a lot of experience with bringing dogs to public dog parks as I know the signs for high stress situation. I have a very large fenced in backyard with a large oak tree that provides shade and places for dogs to sit and relax. Plenty of room for fun games! I I have the ability to keep my pets separate from others if that’s needed! I also live across the street from a nature preserve that’s walking distance fora change of scenery and more exercise.

This flexible schedule means I can easily adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else.

About: I have taken care of my brother’s dog and his fiancé’s dog when he’s out of town. One is a lab mix and the other is a Doberman. We’ve also gone on walks and played frisbee. I have walked some of our neighbor’s dog. I have babysat another dog and cat at other people’s house. I have recently taken care of 9 month to 10 month puppies. I also have been taken dogs to BrewHound if the owners want the dog to get out for a while. I am free anytime right now. I am looking to get a job at the beginning of February and I need to fill up my time until then. I can still continue after I get job and figure how to work around it. I can walk your dog and play with it or just chill out in the house with it while reading a book or working on my laptop. I can spend a few hours here and there to make sure the dog has some company throughout the day. I also have been taken dogs to BrewHound if the owners want the dog to get out for a while.

Meredith L.
“Hi there! Meredith is one of the best pet-friends to have. She is incredibly patient with animals, kind, and nurturing. My very old dog Grace who is blind and does not walk very well, hears her voice from our doorstep and somehow makes her way down the stairs to see her! Grace has always had a soft spot for Meredith, and as my family would say, imprinted on her because of her loving nature. She is truly the best pet sitter anyone could ask for!”

Anna did a wonderful job watching our dog Sunny over the 4th of July weekend, helping to make her comfortable while riding out the fireworks. We will definitely book with Anna again in the future.
We love Gabbi!! She house and dog sat for 6 nights for us. We never had anyone before stay in our home before but upon meeting Gabbi I was super comfortable and it could not have worked out better! When we arrived home I think the dogs were disappointed it wasn't Gabbi at the door Lol And, she left the house immaculate (probably better than when she arrived.) Highlighy recommend and will be using Gabbi again! Thank you for loving up on our pups :)
Whenever I leave town, I can always be confident that my dog will be well taken care of by Meggie! She really is the best! She keeps me updated daily with texts and pictures too which is great! Meggie always goes above and beyond when watching my dog, and I always come home to the happiest girl! Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter!
Ines was simply phenomenal. This was the first time I’ve entrusted a rover to stay at my place to watch my animals, and I definitely picked the right person. She not only took amazing care of my dog and cat, but she was also super respectful of my place. She even went above & beyond by washing linen and towels she used. I can’t thank you enough. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great rover experience.
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!
Beth was communicative and active with our pup Juju while we were gone. Typically I worry nonstop no matter who is with him but found myself simply enjoying our trip! Thanks to Beth for making this a zero stress experience.
Kate has taken care of my pets quite a few times and she is great each time! They love her and it gives me so much peace of mind to know she’s the one caring for them when I’m out of town! She gives lots of updates and stops by to see them often 😊
Christine is so wonderful! She is great at sending updates and cares for our sweet girl who has allergy issues and trouble with her ears. We are so grateful to have found her after years with the same dog sitter!
This is the 2nd time that Jess has stayed overnight on multiple days with Mocha. She is great and I feel like she works with him on training as he behaves better when I return. I would definitely recommend Jess as a pet sitter.
Laurie is amazing! She sent me daily updated pictures of my pup and always took her to go do fun stuff while I was out of town. I will definitely be having her help next time I need help🌸
Anika was perfect for us! Great communication, responsible, and reliable. Also very loving with our dogs. We will use her services again.
I had to go out of the country for two weeks, with very short notice. Caitlyn was able to provide care for my Dalmatian in my home which was a comfort to my dog and to me. She took great care of him. I would book her again.
Betsy was awesome! She took great care of my baby (and my rose plant) while I was gone with lots of updates! Highly recommend!!
Natalia was great to work with. She was prompt and made sure to communicate throughout the stay. I’ll be looking forward to booking her again.
They are so great! Updated us frequently with photos, dogs clearly took to them well. Would recommend them to anyone/will be using them in the future!
Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of our home and older dog, Lena. Lena requires many daily medications and Michelle was able to give them to her with ease. It gave us peace of mind knowing that Lena was well loved by Michelle during our travels. We found Michelle to have great communication and will be recommending her to others.
Julia was very personable, professional and communicative from our first contact and throughout her stay taking care of our cat. She ensured we had clear agreement on start and end times and what we needed from her to ensure our cat had a consistent schedule. She sent updates and pictures regularly. She also left the house neat and clean. I really appreciated her willingness to care for our cat over the holidays. I will use her again when needed.
Shealyn was great with our two larger breed dogs! She was communicating with us the whole time, while sending pictures and making sure our pups were having the best time! We would recommend her to everyone. Thank you again, Shealyn.
I cannot recommend McKenzie enough! Not only did she take incredible care of our baby pup while we were away, but she also went above and beyond by throwing some laundry on. She took the time to let our very shy puppy get use to her and not force her into walking until she was comfortable.Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and clean laundry was such a relief! She’s dependable, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet and home like their own, McKenzie is the one to call. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
