“We left on a 7 day cruise leaving our beloved babies home, including a 2 month old lab mix, our 10 year old boxer and 13 year old kitty. Not only did meetups before help to get to know them. Our boxer took to Steve immediately!! Robyn and Steve sent us several messages, watched our home to reassure us, and left our house cleaner than when we came and with happy fur babies. We definitely want to have them watch our babies again in the future”
“Stephanie was AMAZING! She was very proactive in setting up a meet and greet beforehand and asked questions that helped us get to know her. She kept us updated the whole time on how he was and sent photos and pictures to us. She even filmed our pup opening his Christmas gift since we were away for the holiday. Went we came back our house was just as we left it and clean. She even put our recycling and trash at the curb for us. She also left a note and cute little chalkboard for when we got home. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: My home is made for dogs. Lots of room to run around inside on rainy days and a large backyard for all day play. A tired dog is a happy dog. Let your fuzzy baby become part of the pack. Have peace of mind your pets will be cared for and treated like family. Being retired I will be home, outside, and playing with them. I have three dogs, Elsa is a Jack Russell and American Staffordshire Terrier, R2 is a Scottish Terrier and Chihuahua, and Benji a small terrier mix. All are filled with energy and enjoy playing with other dogs. They enjoy going to the dog park and swimming. I am sure your pup will enjoy staying with us. They will not be lonely we will make sure. See you soon. Retire veteran at home full time. I don’t leave your fuzzy babies alone. Your welcome to drop them off the night before your trip too. I have a big fence yard. Pet proof cement floor through out the house. Three dogs to keep them company. Toys, music, and videos for them to watch.
About: I have tons of experience with animals, some of which have been my own. I currently own a black lab and German shepherd and have owned a Pekinese and tabby cat in the past, meaning I’m comfortable with all sizes of pets! I have pet sat for both family and friends, with no problems each time. I have worked with dog trainers at my previous job as a pet store manager and am aware of dogs’ body language and how to properly interact with them. I am in a very unique position where I work a remote, work-from-home job. This makes me available all days except Wednesdays. This allows me to be able to work around pet parent schedules and stay longer with animals! As already mentioned, I have some dog training knowledge. I have trained both of my dogs and even my horse. I’m comfortable around any size dog and would treat each one as my own. I am well versed in handling multiple situations. I follow directions very well and will do as pet parents wish.
About: With over 12 years of petcare experience and multiple indoor pets myself, I think it's safe to say that I love animals! Situated on a 1 acre property, with a fenced front yard, this could be your pets getaway while you get away! Because I have grooming and training experience, I could be your one stop drop! I am a freelance pet artist, therefore I have plenty of time to have fun and interact with my animals! We enjoy walking in the lovely Baldwin bike trial and playing in the yard! I'm practically available all day any day! I have a fenced front yard and 4 lovely rough coated collies! My dogs are very social and love to play! Fun in the sun during the day and crated at night! For pick ups I currently have a Ruffland intermediate kennel for car rides to keep your dog as safe as possible!
“Bri took AMAZING care of our dog and our house!! Our dog isn’t the easiest to deal with, and she was so patient and sweet with him. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy house/dog sitter!”
About: Hello! I own a large dog and am comfortable all sizes and breeds. I'm okay with nervous dogs, and those that aren't perfect on leash. I love walking, and nothing beats walking with a dog! I'd be honored to meet your pup. I have flexibility in scheduling, and can do early mornings, late evenings, weekends, or other depending on the needs and my existing schedule. Please reach out with your request and I'm sure we can figure something out. I make sure my pets have a safe and comfortable environment to sleep, eat, play and live. I like to take my dog to see new things, and recognize that mental stimulation is important. I am familiar with dog etiquette and will keep your pet safe

She provided updates, our home looks exactly as we left it, and she even brought in our bins and grabbed our mail!! Above and beyond and we will absolutely be using her again if she will have us! :)”
“Therisa stayed overnight for us to keep an eye on our 3 dogs and 4 cats. Two of the dogs are pretty high maintenance and one of the cats has to take meds. Everyone seemed happy and taken care of when we returned the next day! I also received many pictures which I so appreciate. Therisa has great communication. We will definitely be requesting her for future sits!”
About: I love doggies! I always have and always will. I work near my house, so I get to visit home in the afternoons. I walk my fur-baby in the mornings, afternoons and at night. I communicate with clients throughout the day when pets are in my care. I can text photos of your fur-baby during the day to let you know that they just finished a walk. All in all, just know that your fur-baby will be in great hands and will receive great love and attention. I do ask for drop off time 6am to 7am on weekdays, weekends are flexible. I get lunch breaks about 2pm to 3pm. Monday through Friday I'm home by 7pm. Mostly, all my weekends are open. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of outdoor space in my small neighborhood. One 5lb shitzu who is very vocal and playful. Zora is sweet and shy; sometimes nervous in the first hour or so but once she is comfortable she is very loving. I have an empty spare room for privacy if needed for your fur-baby.

Jacksonville Heights South pet parents share their Rover experiences
She stayed at our house for 1 night watching our two dogs. She's attentive, communicative, and very proactive. At first, I was worried about how our new dog, who's only been with us for a month, would react, but Sidnee seemed to know how to handle him so that he wouldn't get the anxiety that my new dog usually exhibits when we're not with him. She sent us a photo where he looked very calm and asleep. She took great care of them and left the house in place.
It was a pleasure to meet Stephanie and have her stay in our home with our PJ and Henry. The dogs obviously had a great time and were a little spoiled with adventures. She sent updates and pictures daily and even pampered them with baths and brushing. Everything in our house was also well cared for. Highly recommend!!
Jessie was fantastic! I felt like both of my dogs were in great hands. She is great at communicating and sending updates. I received daily pictures. I was worried because one of my dogs went to the vet the morning of our trip with an unknown fever but Jessie provided constant updates on her status for me. I definitely recommend using Jessie and plan to have her watch my puppies again in the future.
Karly was terrific. Merle, our miniature cockapoo pup, absolutely loves her! She spent a lot of time with him, playing, walking, running and snuggling and sent us pictures or videos of him everyday. When we returned, the bedding was washed and on the bed and everything was spotless. We've already booked her again and would happily recommend her to others!
