About: I’ve been taking care of animals basically my whole life! Everyone in my family comes to me when they need a pet sitter… It has even extended into helping friends. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I sincerely have a passion for animals and taking care of them. I am consistently dog sitting for my grandmother who has 2 dogs and one of them has a serious condition. So, taking care of her is more involved. It includes giving her medication multiple a days, helping her get up on things and sometimes hand feeding her when she needs a little more help. I’m also experienced in watching senior dogs; I have taken care of my aunts 10 year old Chihuahua on multiple occasions. When it comes to breeds, I have a wide range of experience. I have cared for chihuahuas, “teddy bears” (small dogs), pitt bulls and Rottweilers. My schedule right now is completely free. I would be available all days of the week and weekends. I am available at any time of the day! My pets are very spoiled and cared for. They get treats throughout the day and plenty of outside time! Fresh water and food always! I take my dog on daily walks around the neighborhood and he also goes to visit my grandmother’s dogs often.
“Victoria has been dropping in on my 2 girls for the past few weeks and things have been going great so far. Thankful we found her to help us during one of our babies puppy stage.”
“Thank you so much for looking after our big ol gsd babies! Joseph was wonderful and very communicative! Thank you again for looking after our pups!”
“Ashlyn was amazing! She put up with me and my million instructions (and followed them) and even got my fur baby to come out and talk / play! Definitely will be using her moving forward.”
“Kiana was amazing with my older kitty. Shelby doesn't need any medication, but she does get anxious when mama is away. She's just super sensitive. But Kiana gave her lots of love and snuggles, and was great at sending me updates with lots of pictures every day. Highly recommend!”

“Jaslyn is amazing! I wish I had found her sooner. She was great with our fur baby. Shared lots of pics of her, let her swim, played ball outside. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my fur babies. This was our first time traveling since we got our kitties and I was very nervous to leave them alone. Aly was wonderful and made me feel a lot more comfortable about leaving them. She sent me pictures of them everyday which was great at putting my mind at ease and confirming they were safe and healthy. I would definitely book her again”
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a lover of dogs & cats since I was a kid. Animals always gravitate towards me. I’ve had pets since I was about 15 years old. I have nothing but time to give to all pets.

The house is big enough to keep all the babies separate just in case there are any temperament issues.
Jacksonville Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our pet sitter went above and beyond every expectation. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and understanding, and it was clear they genuinely cared about our pets. Communication was excellent, and they made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable!
Ashlyn far exceeded my expectations while caring for my two cats. She was professional, attentive, and extremely reliable. My cats can be standoffish with new people, but they warmed up to her within the first visit. I felt comfortable trusting her with my home and my pets, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
I tend to get very worried about leaving my sweet old lady alone. Sarah made me feel comfy right away at the meet and greet (still love that cute puppy shirt hahaha). While she was hanging out with Sylvia, she took lots of pictures and videos, kept me updated the whole time she was there, and just made me feel so much better about the entire situation. I'll definitely use her again!
Portia is very reliable, kind, and attentive! She came to check on our 4 month old kitten while we were away for the weekend. I got frequent, detailed updates and in those updates were pictures. It was nice being able to fully relax knowing Chloe (our kitten) was in good hands. 10/10 would recommend and we’ll be using her services again!
Jolinda is the perfect sitter! She accommodated me last minute to watch my kitties, and I was so incredibly grateful. She is very kind and attentive, and even met my kitties at my apartment a week before the scheduled visits to get acquainted with us. Throughout the three days that she visited my kitties, she did her job perfectly, and updated me throughout the entire hour she was there each day, sending adorable pictures of her playing with/loving on the kitties and thorough proof of her feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them fresh water. I was so worried leaving my babies alone for a few days, but couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of them. Jolinda is a genuine and kind woman, and I could not be any happier with her service; not to mention that her sparkling personality was the cherry on top! I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in search of a sitter. Thank you again, Jolinda!
