Don’t know how many times we can say how much we love and trust Scarlett with our babies. We have found our go-to care taker for them when we’re gone. Her and her daughter are amazing!

I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.

Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!

Rebekah is amazing and was the perfect sitter for my anxious dog. She took her time with him to make sure he was as comfortable as possible. She sent plenty of pictures during our time away from our babies and was quick with communication. She really cares about each individual pet and remembers the little details to make the stay as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!

Hannah was absolutely amazing! We had booked her somewhat last minute for a holiday weekend but she was nothing but kind and accommodating. She kept us regularly updated with how the dogs were doing, and they seemed to have a great time playing catch and keep away! Definitely recommend booking with Hannah and we will be asking her to take care of the pups on our next vacation.

Many is such a wonderful person and we appreciate the love and care she provided to our four dogs at our home while we were away. We had a meet and greet before our departure and the dogs took to her right away! She provided us with updates letting us know if anything seemed off and when everyone was getting along well while we were away. The next trip we take, Mandy is going to be the first person we call. Thank you again for your help!

About: I've had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, even gerbils — and animals have always just… gotten me. I'm the person who ends up on the floor with your dog ten minutes after arriving somewhere, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm Ben, a Jacksonville resident with a calm, patient energy and a lot of genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like they're the most important creature in the room — because honestly, they usually are. I understand that handing your pet to someone is an act of trust. I don't take that lightly. You'll get updates, photos, and an honest account of how your pet did. No sugarcoating, no drama — just real care. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats who need their space respected, and the occasional small animal who just needs someone who won't freak out. Your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed — not just watched. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm reliable: if I say I'll be there, I'll be there. I communicate proactively if anything changes, which in my experience is what pet owners actually need most. I'm a calm, quiet presence. No loud energy, no chaos. Animals tend to relax around me quickly probably because I'm genuinely more interested in them than most things happening in a room. I'm comfortable with cats who need their space, dogs who need reassurance, and the full spectrum in between.

About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.

Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.

We are so blessed to have found Scarlett on Rover. This was the first time we had Scarlett take care of our 2 furry boys. We instantly liked her form the meet & greet as she was so pleasant, friendly and sweet with our Bobo and Ollie. She exceeded our expectations.. staying in our home and taking such great care of our boys. She even did Ollie's first groom that looks adorable 🐶❤️ Scarlett left our home very clean which I really appreciated. She sent daily pictures and videos throughout the day and gave us such peace of mind on our first weekend away from our puppy. We will definitely have Scarlett dog sit and stay with our boys again and again!!! ❤️

Maverick was incredible. Unfortunately my senior dog had flees that I did not catch and Maverick took care of it immediately including bathing him and washing his bedding. Unfortunately, my dog passed away the same trip and Maverick was very helpful in notifying me and being there when they came to collect his remains. Very professional!

This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!

Megan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous. My cat has health issues and I wanted someone to stay overnight with her while I was away. Megan met with me before the booking started. When I met her, I immediately had peace of mind. While I was gone, Megan frequently sent updates and pictures (even though Mia hid the whole time). I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing Mia was being well taken care of. I won’t be planning any travel until Mia is feeling better but I am so happy that if I do need to travel I have an excellent sitter!
