About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I love meeting new animals! i’ve rescued cats and dogs and even volunteered at the shelter for over a year! i work part time but im available any time im not working! :) i’ve worked with all sorts of dogs including high energy, puppies, and senior dogs. i’m also able to work with dogs that are reactive! i am available to give medication as well! i currently work a full-time job so i need to know in advance about petsitting in case i am working! that way i can see if it can be worked out! i like to meet the dog calmly and maybe give them a treat so that they know they can trust me, i also like to know about the dogs behavior and how they are around other people’s cats/animals!

About: I have a 5-year-old golden retriever. I trained him myself and I always get compliments from strangers that he is a well-behaved dog which I am very proud about. I've always loved dogs and have been around them since I was a child. Since I'm a pet owner myself I know how I want my pet to be treated by a pet sitter. I always send pictures of the dogs to the owners and keep the pet owners updated on the regular basis during the pet's stay with me. I am a full-time stay-at-home mom. My toddler and my dog love to go on walks, so we spend a lot of time walking the trails and playing fetch at the parks. My golden retriever is very friendly and loves to have company over. I always keep all dogs that I watch on the leash while walking to keep them safe and secure. I don't usually let the dogs so say hi to other dogs if I see their body language telling me that they are uncomfortable in the situation, so we can avoid any dog fights.

About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.

About: Hi, my name is Cierra Robinson. I am a dedicated pet caregiver and cat owner in Jacksonville, Florida. My family and I provide a safe, loving environment for pets while their owners are away. We welcome friendly dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and other caged pets. Pet parents provide food, bowls, medications, and special care instructions, and we follow those instructions closely. Our home offers indoor and outdoor options, daily attention, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and lots of love. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and quality care, and I treat each animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my family's daily routine. I am home most days, and there is usually someone available to help monitor, feed, water, and check on pets throughout the day. We recently moved into a home with a large yard, which allows dogs additional space for exercise and outdoor time. Because we have a family household, pets receive regular interaction and supervision. I work closely with pet parents to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. Whether your pet prefers quiet time, playtime, or a structured routine, we do our best to make them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents because I believe every animal has different needs, routines, and preferences. Dogs may stay indoors or outdoors depending on owner preference, weather conditions, and the pet's needs. We have a large yard and two outdoor dog houses with blankets available. Indoor dogs are welcome but are not allowed to roam freely throughout the home. Cats are kept in a safe, controlled environment unless otherwise instructed by their owner. Pet parents must provide food, medications, and any special supplies their pet requires. Before accepting a booking, I like to learn about your pet's personality, habits, fears, and favorite activities so I can provide the best possible care. My goal is to create a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where your pet feels respected and cared for.

About: I love to walk and your dog will love walking with me! I am conscientious and courteous. Safety first and always scoop the poop! I am a passionate and empathetic dog guardian! I have worked at a well known (SPCA) vet clinic located in southern Virginia. While there I managed a staff of ten and helped transform their low cost spay and neuter facility of 500 patients to a full service clinic of over 10,000. I recently moved to Georgia and am excited to start volunteering at the local animal shelter. Sadly my dog passed away in 2019, and I have yet to bring home another angel. That's one of the reasons I love Rovering! It's like being a dog grandmother - I get to spoil them to pieces! My motto is safety first, then nothing but fun! I enjoy taking care of all dogs, but there is a special place in my heart for the oldies but goodies. I work remotely so watching your boo is part of my favorite job! I am at home throughout the day and am focused on your boo. In my home safety is always my number one priority. I make sure to keep and clean and tidy space. Water will always be fresh and topped off. The floor and counters are free from things your boo can get into. Rules stay the same as if your boo was at home.

About: I have had experience growing up with two two dogs aiding in training and care. I also have had an adopted 6 month year old that was scarred from being at the shelter and working him out of his shell thanks to my experience working for a year and half at Petco dealing with everything from generalized caregiving to health remedies and understanding of generalized health. My availability does fluctuate due to my being in retail management with no further constrictions during holiday. This fact alone has kept me from being a dog parent myself due to a continuously changing schedule personally. With proper notice I can make sure my schedule can align with expectations. My apartment is animal free apartment with no risk of anyone getting along with another. I’m in a open complex in that there’s no restrictions of breeds. I’ve rescued two dogs from my complex due to my my rigorous schedule I can’t regularly have a companion of my own, however I can accommodate for time periods to make sure they’re taken care of properly.

Edward came to our hotel while we were in town to walk our boy Cooper. He was on time, sent photos and was even kind enough to add an extra visit/walk when our schedule changed and were unable to get back to the hotel. Edward was FANTASTIC!!! I will definitely request his services again if we ever find ourselves in Jacksonville, FL again!!
