About: New to Rover and very excited for my first fur clients! I have grown up with pets of all kinds, but primarily cats and dogs. I am open to various kinds of animals! I have experience with feeding, playing, grooming pets, as well as, giving individualized attention as needed. I currently have flexible availability during the week and am free weekends. I would love to chat about your needs and see if my availability aligns! I can feed and change litter boxes. Take your pet out for a walk. I can also crate and provide comfort. Depending on how medication has to be administered, I am also able to do that.


10. Stormi J.
About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, and more. Friends and family know me as the go-to person for pet advice and rehoming support. With years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m a stay at home mom which makes me available to care for animals full time, I’m not away from animals for more than a two hour time - but only if we need a store trip. Our home is fully fenced in, the animals will never be outside or alone with my children unattended. We only take animals from one family at a time.


11. Meghan B.

“This was our first time having Meghan care for our two kitties (big cats). My first comment is, she is a blessing. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were without a cat sitter shortly before going out of country for over 2 weeks and were more than a little stressed. Luckily, we found Meghan who not only was available but made us feel totally at ease. She is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely continue to have her care for our kitties for all of our future needs.”


12. Scarlett M.

“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”

15. Kelsey I.
“Kelsey has been our go-to gal for house and horse sitting for almost 3 years now! We have a large property in Vista with for horses, two dogs, and the cats. Kelsey leaves the house in better shape then when we left it and all our animals are head over heels for her and her adorable son. I highly recommend her!!!”


16. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa is a wonderful person. Over the 20 years I have known her, she is one of the kindest and most caring individuals you will ever meet. She has taken such wonderful care of my cat and my dog, as well as my brother’s dogs on many occasions. It is so hard to leave the pets you cherish, even for a short time, but you can rest assured that while you are away, not only will your furbabies be cared for and in good hands - but they will be loved and adored all the same.”

“Our dog Milo a retired military dog recently lost his sister and had some loss anxiety. Ashley was so patient and kind with him, even though he out weights her 😂🙈, she didn’t rush him to warm up and after a day he was already comfortable with her and he became his normal giant teddy bear lapdog self with her.
