“Robyn and Steven were so so amazing. Not only did they keep me updated on all their fun with our two babies, but they left our place nicer than they found it. We are already booking with them again! :)”


About: I've had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, even gerbils — and animals have always just… gotten me. I'm the person who ends up on the floor with your dog ten minutes after arriving somewhere, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm Ben, a Jacksonville resident with a calm, patient energy and a lot of genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like they're the most important creature in the room — because honestly, they usually are. I understand that handing your pet to someone is an act of trust. I don't take that lightly. You'll get updates, photos, and an honest account of how your pet did. No sugarcoating, no drama — just real care. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats who need their space respected, and the occasional small animal who just needs someone who won't freak out. Your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed — not just watched. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm reliable: if I say I'll be there, I'll be there. I communicate proactively if anything changes, which in my experience is what pet owners actually need most. I'm a calm, quiet presence. No loud energy, no chaos. Animals tend to relax around me quickly probably because I'm genuinely more interested in them than most things happening in a room. I'm comfortable with cats who need their space, dogs who need reassurance, and the full spectrum in between.
“Sarah is the best! Our Chai Boy loved his time with her! She had amazing communication from start to finish and sent lots of photos which we absolutely love! Highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

“Sidnee is amazing! I have sincerely appreciated the attention and care that my two Frenchies require that Sidnee provided while I was traveling! I trust Sidnee in my home and with my dogs. She is officially my “go-to” sitter. Highly recommend her services!”


“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

“Many is such a wonderful person and we appreciate the love and care she provided to our four dogs at our home while we were away. We had a meet and greet before our departure and the dogs took to her right away! She provided us with updates letting us know if anything seemed off and when everyone was getting along well while we were away. The next trip we take, Mandy is going to be the first person we call. Thank you again for your help!”
“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use again!!!”

“Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.”
“Carine was extremely helpful and attentive to our pets while we were away on our trip. She sent photos and kept us posted the whole time. One of our dogs is daily medicated for seizures and she made sure to give her the medicine everyday. Will book with her again 100%!!!”

“Cindy was great! I hadn’t left my dogs overnight for a long time with one of them being a senior. But I felt comfortable and not worried with Cindy staying at my home with them. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Will book again for sure!”

“Scarlet went above and beyond throughout our trip. She took incredible care of my dog—kept him on his routine, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. She sent regular updates and photos which really put me at ease. On top of that, she looked after my home and my vehicles in a bit of crisis. She kept me updated, handled everything with care, and was thoughtful and reliable from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend anyone trust their homes and pets with Scarlett!!! Thank you again!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“Lily took great care of Yogi!!! My husband and I felt comfortable being out of town knowing Yogi was in good hands. She was also communicative and gave us daily updates and photos, which I love!!”

“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”

“Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.”

“Scott was wonderful! He was very communicative, took lots of photos, followed our instructions, and left our home neat and tidy. We would not hesitate to book him again!”

“Charles did an amazing job with Koda. I received daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. He was even even able to help out an extra night when our flight was cancelled. I would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Madeline took SUCH amazing care of my dog when I got caught in a bind and we needed house sitting for the weekend. I came home to a happy, relaxed, and well cared for pup! She kept me updated through the whole weekend with plenty of photos and any questions she had to best care for Bruce. If I could give 10 stars I would, and I look forward to having her back in the future!”

Maverick was incredible. Unfortunately my senior dog had flees that I did not catch and Maverick took care of it immediately including bathing him and washing his bedding. Unfortunately, my dog passed away the same trip and Maverick was very helpful in notifying me and being there when they came to collect his remains. Very professional!

This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!
We needed a sitter for our two dogs at the last minute holiday week, and Raina responded immediately. From the day we met her, you can notice that she loves and cares for animals, our dogs came to her and started to play with her. We are so happy to say that Raina was the best experience as a sitter through Rover. She kept us informed through photos and messages. It was clear that Raina went above and beyond in taking care of our babies. We definitely recommend Raina, as she is very professional and trustworthy. We will absolutely book with her again.

Jordan was thrown into a situation of me being out of town for 4 days while my pupper was sick, but she did great keeping me informed and offering to go above and beyond in making sure my dog ate and got her meds. She sent lots of pics, and I did not feel stressed during my trip even under the circumstances, I knew my babies were in good hands - highly recommend Jordan and will be using her for future trips :)

Phillip was great with my dogs! I have 2 puppies, a 2year old and 3yr old puppy full of energy! Phillip took them for a lot of walks and sent pictures of them playing outside getting out there energy. I had to change plans last minute and add an extra day, and Phillip was very accommodating and always quick to respond!

Emily was FANTASTIC! She was prompt to respond and sent me pictures of my babies without me even having to ask. And she didn't charge extra, like lots of other services. She is my new "go to" any time I'm out of town and can't take my dogs. And the price was unbeatable. I felt so comfortable with her dogsitting my angels. Thank you, Emily!
