“Jeweliana was thorough, communicative, and kind throughout our booking with her. She was willing to accommodate adjustments, and asked questions that showed she was deeply paying attention to our cats and their welfare. I could not have asked for someone better to watch our kitties for us, and would definitely book with her again.”


“Daisy is amazing! She took great care of our Senior pup. She graciously extended her care time last minute as well so we could enjoy another day at Disney! Thank you, Daisy!”


“Stephanie is great. Although our cat was always hiding while Stephanie visited, Chloe was well cared for and Stephanie also left her treats to find when she left. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely request her services in the future.”

The visit went very well and I enjoyed all the updates throughout! Her price is extremely reasonable for her care ! Highly recommend!”


“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child—dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. Today, I’m the proud owner of three dogs and two cats, including senior pups I’ve raised since they were puppies (now 13 and 8 years old). This lifelong experience has taught me how to meet the needs of pets at every stage of life with patience, love, and responsibility. Desde pequeña he estado rodeada de mascotas; los perros y gatos siempre han sido parte de mi vida. Actualmente tengo tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo dos perritos mayores que crié desde cachorros (hoy tienen 13 y 8 años). Con los años he aprendido a cuidar a las mascotas en cada etapa de su vida, siempre con paciencia, cariño y responsabilidad. I work as a night-shift nurse, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets during the day. After a night of helping people, I find peace and joy spending time with animals—whether it’s walking dogs, feeding them, or simply giving them company. I care for my own three dogs and two cats, including seniors I’ve raised since they were puppies. Pet care is part of my everyday life, and I’d love to help you care for yours too. Trabajo como enfermera en el turno de noche, lo que me da la flexibilidad para cuidar mascotas durante el día. Después de una noche ayudando a personas, encuentro paz y alegría pasando tiempo con los animales, ya sea paseando perros, alimentándolos o simplemente haciéndoles compañía. Cuido de mis tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo perritos mayores que he criado desde cachorros. El cuidado de mascotas es parte de mi vida diaria, y me encantaría ayudarte a cuidar a las tuyas también. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting a client’s home or caring for pets in mine, I always create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets stay safe—whether on walks, during feedings, or while playing. I treat every pet like part of my own family, with respect for their space and your home. La seguridad y la confianza son mis prioridades. Ya sea que visite el hogar de un cliente o cuide mascotas en el mío, siempre creo un ambiente tranquilo y seguro donde las mascotas se sientan cómodas. Sigo todas las instrucciones con cuidado, mantengo las rutinas consistentes y me aseguro de que las mascotas estén seguras, ya sea durante los paseos, las comidas o el tiempo de juego. Trato a cada mascota como parte de mi familia, respetando su espacio y el de tu hogar.

About: I have 15 years of pet loving experience. I have past experience with bottle feeding anything from goats to puppies and kittens. I currently have two dogs and one cat. The dogs go for walks in the morning before work, and a walk after work accompanied with playing fetch for as long as my dog can. He decides when we go back inside since he has been inside all day. My other dog get belly rubs and kisses for as long as his brother is playing fetch. Once we go in, they flop on the floor and the cat then gets my undivided attention and a few treats. I like telling you about my day with my fur babies because it is exactly how I plan to treat yours. My Monday thru Friday work schedule is 5:00am till 3:30pm. I work full time and all pets will be left alone for eight to nine hours Monday through Friday. Please confirm that you understand that before booking. This is a hobby for me because I LOVE dogs, I will decline as necessary My yard is not fenced and I cannot accept flight risks. I have two dogs that love everyone and a cat that thinks he is in charge. If needed, I do reserve the right to crate any dog I deem necessary whether it’s yours or mine. Usually mine

“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”


“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”


“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”

“I’ve used Miss Brooke on several occasions and she hasn’t disappointed yet!

About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have cared for them since I was a kid. My experience with dogs includes dog sitting, playtime and walking dogs for family members, friends and neighbors frequently. I have experience with Yorkies, Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, Poodles, Cane Corsos and American Bullys. I personally own a sweet lab/pittie mix who is a great companion and loves playtime. My experience also includes administering medication to dogs, giving doggie baths, fetch training, leash training and housebreaking for puppies. Rest assured that your fur baby will be safe, happy and cared for by an experienced dog lover and professional! Since this is my passion and full-time job, I will work around your dogs needs daily. We try to make this a doggy sanctuary with a 20-foot gated backyard for your dog to run around freely. I will also let your dog out if needed overnight. Cuddles and playtime will also be a part of time with us! I love to walk, so your dog will be walked up to one mile if needed. I also offer training during their stay. In our backyard, we LOVE to play fetch and lounge around. I also give doggie baths with the shampoo of your liking at a schedule that mimics yours at home. We have a private bathroom just for doggie baths. Their schedule is my schedule for their comfort! I care for my client’s pets like they are family. I believe in playtime with toys to play fetch with. You can bring any toys or bones your dog likes; we’re willing to make sure your dog is comfortable during their stay. We want owners to be as specific as possible on what their dog likes/dislikes so we can make their stay as comfortable as possible. We highly encourage you bring your own dog food so we can make sure your dog doesn’t have an allergic reaction. Any medication or special needs they might have will be followed and photos will be taken to ensure your dog is in good hands.

“Caitlan was such a great sitter for our cat Kylo! All he technically needed was to be fed while we were gone but she stayed and loved on him and kept him company for a little while each drop in. I really appreciate that she communicated very well and was understanding when I accidentally booked a check in while I was still home. I recommend her 100%”

Hollyford pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mariana is fabulous! Not only did she accommodate a last minute booking on a holiday weekend, she loved on my pups and provided updates. They really enjoyed their belly rubs! She made sure to do a meet and greet and took some of their treats with them so they would feel comfortable on the 1st visit. I was initially worried because we have never left our pups in the care of someone we are not familiar with but Mariana took great care in asking what they needed and accommodating our schedule. We will definitely be a repeat client!
