“Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!”
“Corey did an excellent job taking care of our cats while we were gone for a week. She came at the agreed upon time everyday, followed our instructions perfectly and sent pictures!”
“Ruth is very communicative, responsible! Very kind and was willing to accommodate even after I missed a scheduled phone call due to power outage, internet issues! She really does go above and beyond for furry friends and their owners!”
“This was Rebekah’s first time sitting for our two cats and she was amazing! Our usually shy cat warmed up to her instantly, which is rare and meant so much to us. She sent great photos and videos and took excellent care of our babies. We felt totally at ease and would absolutely book with her again.”
“Lyndsay was so amazing with my anxious pup! She came by as a drop-in visit with me present at home to help him feel more comfortable with visitors and build positive associations with them. She gave him lots of treats and love, and took so much time helping him to feel safe and comfortable. I definitely recommend her!”
“Karen looked after our 5 rescue kittens that we found 2 weeks before our vacation. She took photos on each visit which definitely it made it easier for us to relax knowing they were being well looked after while we were away. We will definitely trust her again to look after the two that we are keeping in the future. Thanks so much Karen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. I've lived with Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers and pet most every pup I see with permission, of course. I would love to visit with the dogs if my community. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
“Jenna took care of my precious princess as well as I would have! Feeding, watering, and litter box instructions were followed perfectly and communications were great. Hire Jenna, look nowhere else.”
“Alivia was the best caretaker for our fur baby while we were away! So glad I found her on here. She came for a meet & greet and had an instant connection with our cat. She did not have experience giving medicine (pill form) to a cat before, but you’d never know it because she found a way to get our cat to take her meds every visit without issue which was a huge relief. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future. Thanks again Alivia!!”
About: 🏡 Experience: At home, I share my space with two dogs and two cats, so rest assured, your pets will feel right at home with me. I have 15 years of experience with my eldest animal, a cat named Tiger (in my profile photo) Let's make your pets' day special – reach out to schedule a walk or sitting today! 🐶🐾🐱 I work full time Monday through Thursday until 5pm but you can reach out to me about availability. Depending on what type of service you need, I might be available during workdays. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. I have a dedicated room to pet care so that your fur baby feels comfortable. I have two very friendly small dogs of my own who are crate trained and two elderly cats.
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Tyler and I am a Jacksonville native. I have been in the pet sitting/dog walking business for over 16 years. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. I can administer medications and assist with grooming. In the past 7 years I have specialized in senior pet care. I look forward to caring for your babies as if they were my own! I am currently offering daily dog walking/pet check-ins. I also provide boarding services at my home, where your baby will be a member of our family. I live in a house with a locked, fenced in, back yard. I have children so safety is my number one priority. For boarding services I accept "CRATE TRAINED DOGS ONLY" I occasionally need to run errands and for the safety of all the pups staying I prefer to crate all pups while I'm gone. My dog named Sage passed away 4 years ago. She was my baby for 16 years. Now we have an indoor/outdoor cat named Cali. During the day she loves to sun bathe in the back yard and snuggle up in her bed at night. While caring for your pets I follow all instructions for your home and make sure your baby feels loved while you are not home.
“Tayler was very communicative and always gave me updates throughout the whole time I was gone. Tayler was very friendly and comforting from the very beginning so I knew my pet was in good hands. The house was in perfect condition and nothing was out of place! Will absolutely be coming back to Tayler in the future, she absolutely exceeded my expectations! She even left a little goodie bag full of treats and toys for my cat!”
“Stacy was on top of everything and went above and beyond checking in on and feeding our cat while we were away. She was professional, timely, and so kind! I loved the daily check ins and photos. Thank you for everything!!”
“I had a last minute trip out of town and the sitter that I typically use was out of town as well. I took a chance on this lovely couple and they were phenomenal. Not only did they jump into action and take a brand new client last minute, but they did not disappoint. My animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.”
“Victoria was fantastic with my cats over thanksgiving. My boy cat has a thyroid issue and she was able to provide for his special needs seamlessly. Great communicator, consistent and timely, very professional. Would love to work with Victoria again!”
Lakewood cat parents share their Rover experiences
I knew that Lauren was going to be Tinkers sitter shortly after speaking with her. Not only does she pet sit, but her job is working with animals as well. So I knew Tinker would be in good hands. If Lauren will have us, we’ll be asking her again next time we go somewhere. Thank you again, Lauren
Anna was wonderful. My 3 cats are pretty skittish and generally not great with strangers. Because of this I had told Anna that she shouldn’t expect to see them when she came. My expectation was that Anna would check their food and cat and scoop the litter pans. Anna went beyond my expectations and even was able to spend a little time with my cats and sent me pictures which was very reassuring while I was away. I would HIGHLY recommend Anna!!
