“They did an amazing job with our 19 week old puppy. There were lots of other dogs for him to play with and a huge yard for all the pups to run around. We got so many pictures and videos that gave us full confidence how well he was being taken care of. Highly recommend!!”
“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”
“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”
“Receiving daily updates and photos made me feel so at ease and truly showed how well my sweet boy was being cared for. It meant so much to see him happy and comfortable. So grateful for the love and attention he received and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Wendy took great care of our pups. We appreciated the updates and pictures she sent us. 3 of our 4 pups did come back with a little cold and I thought the $90 roundtrip pickup and drop-off to Ponte Vedra was a little steep, but overall we were happy with her services. She sent them home with cute little bandanas which was sweet!”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
“Kaitland and her family gave love and Wonderful care to my dog. Mila , my dog looked happy, calm, and well taking care of when I picked her up. This made me feel so great. Thank you Kaitland and your family!!”
“Brenda was absolutely fantastic! I felt completely at ease leaving Jazmine in her care. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Jazmine was happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates while I was away. I would love for Brenda to watch Jazmine again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
About: * Lifelong dog owner * Raised a litter of seven puppies * Experience with doodles, retrievers, labs, poodles, and mixed breeds * Comfortable with puppies and senior dogs * Comfortable following medication schedules and special feeding instructions * Frequent photo and video updates * Flexible with routines and exercise needs I have a hybrid work schedule so I work from home half of the week. We go to the dog park and walks daily. Sometimes going to the beach for fun! I have a fenced in yard with two doodles! They’re very friendly and fun. I’m a bit of a homebody so I spend a lot of with the pups.
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”
“My dogs came back HAPPY! Not nervous, angry, shy or desperately trying to get back to me. That never happens. Romi’s is 1000% a place I trust to tell my friends about and I hope more dogs and dog owners get to experience boarding with her.”
“I’m so grateful I came across Daisy and her family. They watched my dog over the weekend and took amazing care of her. It was clear she was treated like part of the family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Daisy kept me updated, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Chrissy was so sweet from the very start, made us feel so good and comfortable with taking care of our fur baby and for me it was such a blessing that she doesn’t live far from us!! That was a huge plus. She kept us informed at all times and send us pictures of him. I personally recommend her services and will be contacting her again in the future :)”
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
“Tannia & Chris do an amazing job watching Brady! They keep us up to date with pictures and videos of him, and he always stays happy & healthy when he is with them.”
“Brenda is the ultimate dog nurturer. Loved her little pack (Lucy and Katy) and her setup, including a lovely fenced backyard. Our Chloe was calm and happy within minutes of arrival and totally peaceful when I picked her up. Chloe says thank you for the walks, Brenda. You are a pro!”
“I was so relieved to find Beverly. She was able to take my baby in last minute and was so accommodating and flexible with me. She sent updates frequently and is super responsive. She cared and loved for Smokey just like I do. I will DEF be a return customer”

Hannah was fantastic! They took a last min reservation for me and then took excellent care of my fur baby. They sent pictures of his day each afternoon which helped ease my worries about if he is ok or not. He looked like he was having a blast in the pictures :) He was taken on walks and got lots of love while I was gone! Thank you so so much-
Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
