“I was a little nervous how my dog would be with a stranger, but Amber made him feel comfortable and even had excited to see her wanting to play! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”



“Katie is our go to for our cat, Ernie. She’s awesome, sweet, and super great with both her animals and human clients. She’s our first choice when we have to leave town.”


“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”


“Jenna is absolutely the BEST! She was so sweet and patient with our rescue dachshunds. It was the first time we've been away from them and were so nervous about it. We were completely at ease with Jenna taking care of them though and could enjoy vacation knowing they were with such a caring person. She went above and beyond and we'd give her 10 stars if we could! Definitely recommend and will be booking with her again!!”


“Mandy was AMAZING!!! She was very flexible to come help us on short notice. She took our dog on great walks, and stayed over to play fetch with her. She also takes amazing photos! We will definitely be using Mandy again in the future”


“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!”


“Mandy was so helpful and took great care of our pup over the holiday weekend. She was an excellent communicator and knew how to handle our nervous girl well. We will be booking again with Mandy”


“Very good experience. This is my first time having a kitten and my first time being away for a couple days. Meghan was extremely punctual when meeting. The pictures she took of my kitten were the most cute and precious pictures. I felt great reassurance that she was ok. My kitten was a litttle stressed when returning, but I can tell from the pictures that Meghan gave great comfort to my kitten and I really appreciate it. Would recommend.”


About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: +15 years caring / sitting dogs and cats Sat multi animal homes including 3-4 dogs and 6-7 cats. Sometimes I feel I’d qualify to work at a literal zoo. High energy and punctual - prepared to walk / play as long as your dog needs. Administered medicines including pills, powders, creams, ear/ mouth injections, to a range of animals (young-senior). Patients range from very grumpy cats to unenthused dogs. Cared for several animals and administered medicines as needed. Ranging from retired greyhounds who have trouble walking to elderly bulldogs who may need a helpful roll to get up. I am a full time artist so I have a very flexible work schedule. I work from home so I can schedule drop ins and walks on short notice and with limited interruption. I have a reliable vehicle to get me to and from visits. I’ll provide unobtrusive and reliable pet care in your home. I am neat, don’t rush, and I pay attention to detail. I am door locking stickler and a double checker. I’ll stick to the script and let you know if there are any regularities.

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion. I have had a life surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I have trained German Shepards with my uncle, done volunteer work with kittens and care for three disabled pets of my own currently. I also work at the humane society with many animals in need. At home and work, I am relied on for bathing, feeding, walking, medication and more. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of animals. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, I hope your needs are perfectly met! My schedule does vary but I am mostly available early mornings and late afternoons however I always keep my calendar updated for so you can get the most accurate bookings. I genuinely care for your pets comfort and believe in treating them with true respect. I am extremely patient and fantastic at deescalating tough situations. I am able to administer medications and crate dogs when needed.

“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”



“Emily is fantastic! She takes such good care of my kitty, I never need to worry about her when I’m gone. My cat loves her, and she doesn’t love many people haha. I highly recommend her!”


“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cat! She always came on time and sent me pictures of my cat. She was easy to communicate with and made me extremely comfortable knowing that my cat was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again soon.”


“Kaila is the best! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of our fluff balls. They were in such good spirits when we got home, you could tell how much love and care they got the whole week we were gone!”


“Amazing as usual! Brittany does so well with our big dogs; we used her again for just a short trip, and she made sure our pups were well taken care of and sent lots of picture updates! Will definitely be using her for our next trip!”

Pamela M.

“I founded a the first beagle rescue in Jacksonville, where Pam quickly became my right hand in running the organization. She was an exceptional foster, often taking in some of our most challenging dogs and working with them patiently and effectively. Pam truly was the heart of our rescue efforts. Currently, I’m a Rover sitter myself for the past 8 years. Pam takes care of my own person dog and those of my personal pet sitting clients when I’m not available. You will not find a more responsible, caring and experienced person to trust with your pets and home.”


Jamie L.
“Ive known Jamie for close to 5 years now, and in that time we have both helped each other out with our pets. She has regularly helped out with our 4 cats when we were out of town. From feeding, watering, cleaning the litter both, to even helping out with daily medications. We would often get a photo from her fiance of her sitting on the floor surrounded by cats, each one looking for extra scratches and love.”


Kyle D.
“My dog Ruger is obsessed with Kyle and loves spending time with him, I always know he's in great hands when I have to leave him alone. Kyle is especially great with him on walks. I trust that he will give him the exercise he needs while also being sure he gets lots of sniffs and potty breaks. He is also great with being extra cautious when walking past other dogs or cats, as my dog isn't friendly. I would highly recommend using Kyle!”


Kristie E.

“First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!”

I have personally watched her pill my cat and she did it with ease! I totally trust her to take care of my pets when I need help! She truly shows compassion and treats every animal like her own! No temperament or need is too much. I trust her and she is reliable and dependable!”
