“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“Katya took great care of my energetic golden retriever and sent photos and videos! Would definitely recommend her and will definitely be booking again.”
“Our doggy Faye had a fantastic time with Bryce. He texted daily updates with photos and our baby looked so happy in all of them! We definitely trust Bryce to watch Faye again and feel lucky to have found someone like him!”
“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Edward provided very consistent videos showing my dog getting a variety of physical exercise and emotional bonding over the course of my trip. She seemed extremely comfortable and at home in all the videos and I am very satisfied with the service provided. Will definitely book again!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”

“Totally recommending Christi for boarding and sitting. She’s the best, my babies like her so much too. She’s friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much Christi.”
“Christian was amazing! From all the picture and video updates, to her updating me on how my baby Kayo was doing, how good he was, and she even took him out to a park for walks! Christian treated my furbaby like he was her own, down to her cooking my baby boy some food! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve booked with other people before but I have never felt this secure with leaving my baby! If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to book with her because I promise you, your furbaby will be in the best care. Thank you so much for loving on Kayo, he seemed sad to leave his new friends lol. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Thank you! Roger enjoyed his stay! It was nice watching him interact with your dogs and kids! I’m glad they all get along :) we will see you again for Christmas!”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.
“Kristall took amazing care of my Bella! I received pictures and daily updates. She was quick to respond and Bella left happy and she was well loved. Thank you for your amazing care of Bella. We are so grateful for you!”
Lake Forest dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our family had to take an unexpected trip and Ms. Feyi O. was available and willing to help. She sent pictures and gave a detailed summary of how our puppy was doing. She has a very nice space specifically for our puppy. Without hesitation she offered to cater to our precious puppy’s needs. Definitely booking again and I know that our baby will be taken care of without any worries.
Christian was absolutely wonderful with Pain. Even while managing her work schedule, she made sure to stick closely to his routine, which meant a lot to us. She was attentive and proactive, when he briefly stopped eating, she reached out right away instead of waiting, which showed how much she genuinely cared. She was incredibly patient and kind, and it was clear that Pain felt comfortable with her. He and her dog bonded so well, it honestly felt like they became instant best friends. When it was time to leave, her dog was barking and Pain was whining in the car like they didn’t want to be separated. That alone spoke volumes. Christian kept us updated with videos and pictures throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also very accommodating, especially considering this was a last minute trip for us. We truly appreciate the care she gave Pain and would absolutely trust her again. Hopefully, she won’t mind another sleepover in the future!
