“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.”


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

“Courtney was always on time, feeding our 4 cats the way she was asked, playing with them and keeping place clean. She was keeping us posted about how they are doing, sending pictures after every visit. We could totally enjoy our few days trip!”



“Tiffany took amazing care of my two dogs while I was away! I look forward to working with her again!”


“Marilyn was always prompt when visiting with my pups. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and cares for their wellbeing. I would totally book with her again and I’m actually looking forward to it. Thank you for everything!”


“Brooke was nothing short of amazing for our two dogs. We had a last minute issue getting our dogs boarded for a longer (over a week) trip out of town, so we opted for drop-in visits - including over Thanksgiving. Brooke was quick to agree to the drop ins and everything that followed was smooth, drama free. When you use Brooke for your pets, you will get a professional in every sense of the word, and will not have to worry about a thing!”


“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.”


“We've hired Rae on multiple occasions to do drop ins to let our pup out. He has just a good time! And she's even brought rain jackets out when it was raining - it was adorable!”

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!

Edward was amazing with Ittie and Peaches. They really liked him. Super professional and gave me updates on them every time he checked on them. Will definitely book him again.

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%
