About: I own and run a grooming/boarding facility here in Jax. Petcare is my passion! Branching out to include petsitting as well, so as to offer a one-stop shop of sorts for all your pet care needs. I provide courier service to vet appts and can groom your pups should you need those services during your vacation! Being that I run my own business, I set my hours, so I can do the same when caring for your pets. I have vet tech experience and am a certified pet groomer. I can administer meds, assist with potty training needs, clean litter boxes, do light house cleaning and make your home appear lived in, ALL while entertaining your babies and keeping them safe. When I come to your home, your pets will be provided loads of love and attention, all while remaining where they feel most comfy, in THEIR home! Should grooming services be needed, I can provide that as well. All dogs will receive a free exit bath! This includes nail trimming and ear cleaning.

About: I have about three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and very mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and safety. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I plan my days carefully so pets receive proper attention, walks, playtime, and calm companionship without being rushed. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in clean and calm environments, and make sure they’re always supervised appropriately. I respect each pet’s routine and temperament and communicate clearly with owners to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.

We are so glad to have chosen Danielle to check in on our cat, Mo. She’s a really nice gal and more importantly Mo approved……and he’s not easy to please! She visited everyday and sent us pics. We’d definitely use her services again if we need to!

Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.

Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!

Christian did a great job coming by to feed our two cats and clean out their litter box for a week. She was always quick to respond to messages, and came by beforehand to meet us and go over everything. This was our first time using Rover and it couldn't have gone better thanks to Christian. I hope to be able to choose Christian again.

About: I have had 3 large dogs of my own. I love animals and have always enjoyed caring for them. I’ve always had animals around since I was a child of all different sizes and breeds. I have also taken care of a diabetic cat that needed insulin shots daily. I have open availability. I work from home. I do require a quiet space and connection to internet if you would like me to be at your home during my working hours (M-F, 8-5). I will ensure to take care of your pets in the way you do in your home. By having them in their environment they will be the most comfortable with you away.

About: Have always been a dog lover since I was a kid. Growing up I helped with friends and family members dogs. Raised a black lab of my own as a teenager. I currently have a 10 year old golden retriever named Ralfi. Passionate about making sure dogs are well taken care of and recieve consistent exercise. I work full-time as a school counselor M-F, 9:00am-4:30pm (from mid august-end of may). I am potentially available for pet care before and after these hours listed. During the summers I have fully open availability for pet care (June 1st-Aug 4th). I live in an apt and have a larger dog so I understand the importance of getting your pet outside and getting them exercise. I love going on walks and taking furry friends to the park to play. Also, available for drop-ins if your pup just needs some company, needs fed, or let out to do their business.

Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!
