“Sharon was so great at communicating and keeping my pup safe and happy while I was away! She provided pictures and videos of him as happy as can be!”


“Absolutely no complaints. Holly was there on time and raised no concerns. Very friendly and a reliable person to have take care of your animals. Answered and any all concerns I had.”


“Ashley was a great help when I had to head out for a few days! She left good pictures and a detailed review of what happened while she was here. Peanut told he enjoyed his time with her as well!”


“Well, Kyleigh did it again. She always sends pics and gives a little report on her visits to Sami. Sami gets stressed whenever we are away and she reacts by doing things that are not very sanitary. Kyleigh is a trooper and comes thru in a big way. Will always be our first contact when we go on trips. Thank you Kyleigh, for being you.”


“Shera was a wonderful pet sitter from my initial request! She responded quickly and answered all my questions. She even did a meet and greet for our sweet Poppy! First time I haven’t had to worry about my dog’s anxiety in a long time! She was super sweet and attentive to our needs! I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! We will use her again!”


“As ALWAYS we come home to happy fur babies!!! We love how much Hana cares for our babies and animals in gener. This particular booking she discovered a kitten in the middle of our neighborhood road and is currently caring for it until it finds a good loving home. Hana is awesome!! Highly recommend her for caring for your fur babies. 10/10”



“Ashley was great. This was our first time leaving our kitty and using a pet sitter. We were anxious leaving her but Ashley gave us detailed updates every visit and pictures. She also answered any questions we had. We will definitely request her services again.”


“Sam was amazing! There was a lot of confusion and mixed messages from me and my wife to her and she was completely understanding and helpful the whole time! I would definitely recommend! Raven always looked so happy in the pictures she sent :) If you're reading this, thank you Sam!”


“OUTSTANDING! Communication was above and beyond prior, during and after visit. I'm a first time client and felt completely at ease leaving my 2 boys in Cassie's care! Thank You So much”


“Hannah was fantastic! It takes a special touch to be around cats, as in you need to be reserved and give them respect as though they were people… because they “are” little people. Hannah was exemplary in this. She was very calm and respectful to them, and our female warmed to her instantly. Our male is usually incredibly shy, but even he did not hide during her visits (just stayed high above in the loft peering down, which is “social” for him). That our cats trusted her was the biggest reassurance we could hope for. She followed our care requests to the letter and sent very cute pics while we were away. We would definitely recommend her services and will book again. Thank you, Hannah!!”


“Liza was great to our senior dog and went the extra mile to help make sure she ate when she was anxious. She was great with communication and really helped us out with a last minute booking - absolutely recommend!”


“If you’re lucky enough to book Ruth—DO IT. I travel often and for long stretches, so finding someone who’s not only amazing with my pets but also *attentive to the little details* is everything. Ruth is that rare gem. Yes, she bonded beautifully with my fur babies (even my shy one warmed up to her immediately, but what really stood out was her *meticulous care*. Clean pet bowls—like, actually clean, not just rinsed. No slimy water bowls sitting there for days like I’ve seen with other sitters. She took the time to scrub, refresh, and make sure everything was spotless. That level of detail is hard to find. She also took out the trash, swept around *all three* litter boxes (one per cat), and made sure everything was tidy. It’s rare to find someone who’s both nurturing and this thorough. Her daily updates and adorable photos gave me peace of mind, which is priceless when you’re far from home. Ruth is the full package. Reliable, caring, clean, and incredibly thoughtful. Snag her for your pets while you can! people like her book up fast. So grateful to have found her!”


“We could not have been more pleased with how much care and attention Baylee showed toward our cat Biscuit while we were away. The detailed drop-in notes, photos and video let us know quite clearly he we being well taken care of. If you ever need someone to take care of your dog or cat and have hesitations using the Rover service put them aside, this was out 3rd time using service and they hire quality people that really care for your pet like they are their own.”


“Kylie took great care of my two dogs while we were gone for the weekend! I was home for a meet and greet during the first visit and my dogs instantly loved her. I was nervous not having a friend/family member take care of them for the first time but she sent me tons of cute pictures putting my mind at ease! I will definitely use Kylie again in the future!”


“Nicole was amazing. Very responsive, was able to help us when a personal friend had a change of plans helping with our pups. She checked in before arrival and sent pictures of our dogs for us. Followed all of our instructions and was overall kind and flexible. Would definitely recommend”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with them since I was five gave me the chance to learn firsthand how to care for different breeds with all kinds of personalities and needs. Somewhere along the way, taking care of dogs just became second nature to me. I’m currently a college student at the University of North Florida, and even with a busy schedule, I always make time for the dogs in my life. I am also in Delta Gamma sorority and I love doing volunteer work I go to the human society a lot with my sorority. My first pup was a super energetic Jack Russell who kept me on my toes and showed me the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation. Later on, I got experience with bigger breeds like a Great Dane and an English Bull Mastiff—both gentle giants that taught me patience and how to handle mobility and health concerns with care. I’ve also looked after a smart and active Brittany Spaniel mix, a trio of fun-loving Labradors, and now my two mini Goldendoodles who are all about snuggles, grooming, and consistency. Each dog has taught me something different, and I’ve really come to appreciate how important it is to adjust care based on their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog who moves a little slower, I’m confident in my ability to provide the kind of attention and care they deserve. I love being active, I’m super dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—which is why I think I’d be a great fit for Rover dog walking. I’m all about keeping dogs happy, safe, and feeling loved, and giving pet parents peace of mind while I do it. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I prioritize providing consistent, quality care. I schedule walks, playtime, and check-ins around my other responsibilities while still being a college student at UNF, ensuring each pet receives the attention they deserve. I’m flexible and adaptable, making it easy to accommodate different schedules and pet needs. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, using secure leashes, and being attentive during walks. I ensure a clean, comfortable environment, respecting clients’ homes while providing care. I communicate regularly with pet owners, offering updates for peace of mind and building trust through reliable, compassionate service.
