“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”


“She was fantastic! very knowledgeable and helpful.”


“We were gone for nearly three weeks and came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Ligia is great with dogs and respectful of your property. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


“Clover did an in-home sitting for us for a few days. We received a lot of photos, and they were very communicative. Clover was very in touch with our pups needs. They took care of our high-energy pup and made sure that she got loads of exercise through walks, beach sessions, and brewhound. Clover also took great care of our home. We will most definitely be using Clover again!”


“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”


“Hannah did a fantastic job taking care my three kitties! She kept me informed about the cats every day and sent pictures of my babies each day as well. All three cats were calm and happy on my return and I won't hesitate to book Hannah again!”


“Mark is awesome sauce! He is a very calm individual who my dog is OBSESSED with, he has a lot of pro tips, and has helped us with the behavior of our dog. He is responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to be around.”


“Amazing as always. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in capable hands. They were reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort.”


“Laura watched our dogs and cat for a week over Thanksgiving and did a fantastic job! She provided us updates and photos throughout the week, and we're already working on booking her next stay =)”


“So polite and professional. Took amazing care of my baby. Will be booking again.”


“I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven! He completely loved on our 2 year old pittie mix for an entire week. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was being so well taken care of! Our rescue is a bit reactive and uncertain around new people and animals, and he handled him like a pro. Steven took the time to get to understand Indigo at his own pace. Definitely booking again. Thanks Steven!!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was younger. I grew up around all types of dogs my mom is a retired groomer so I loved working with her! I had Rottweilers while growing up and a little terrier mix he is 12 now lol. I personally have worked at an animal hospital for over a year now as a veterinary technician. I am familiar with different behaviors, medicating, and more. I currently work 4 days a week and one weekend of the month. I have been looking for a side job where I can make my own schedule. I love working with animals and seeing all the different breeds. I am familiar with emergency situations and what to do if it ever came down to that. I am very cautious with treats, toys, gates being locked, doors being shut and crate training. If your baby is not crate trained and free roams all items will be out of reach that could be potentially harmful.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid. I love all pets, no matter the shape or size and I’m very passionate about their happiness, well-being and safety! I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University, working to get my doctorate and occupational therapy! I only have classes in the morning, before or after class, I usually work out and study. With just moving here in May, I love exploring and walking around new places with my dog who loves the beach just as much as I do! I take pet safety very seriously and always want to ensure the highest level of care for not only my dog, but your pets as well. For my dog, we usually do leashed walks around the grounds of my apartment or we go to the dog park! With the Florida heat, I typically carry water and treats to ensure my pet doesn’t get overhead! I am happy to do leashed walks or hang out with them in fenced in parks or backyards!

“Risa was kind and courteous. She did an amazing job with my animals! Definitely would use her services again in the future!”


“Maggie was great with our animals. She communicated with us the whole time and was punctual. She really cares for animals like they are her own.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young child and I’ve pet and house sat for family friends. May family currently has 3 dogs and 2 cats. & had other dogs growing up that have passed on with old age. I am an art teacher, working a part time job for this summer. I have plenty time to spend with your pets. I love working with children and animals and will genuinely enjoy getting to know different personalities. I love art and photography too, so I’ll probably leave you with some portraits and I have great communication and will answer right away if you want to check in. I prefer to care for the pets in your home. I don’t want mix your pets with mine and cause any stress. I don’t mind checking mail and other miscellaneous tasks as well.

“Sarah was awesome with my cat! Super friendly, reliable, clean and asking if any additional help needed. I loved getting little updates while I was away—it gave me total peace of mind. Definitely would have her pet sit again!”


About: With years of experience caring for all kinds of pets—including tortoises, axolotls, sugar gliders, amphibians, reptiles, puppies, and kittens—I bring specialized knowledge and a passion for all creatures. I’m skilled in handling senior and special needs animals and am comfortable administering medications, ensuring your furry, scaly, or feathered family members receive the care they deserve! I work a full time job but am flexible in the mornings and evenings during the week, plus full availability on the weekends. I am more than happy to check on your furry or purr-y family in the mornings and evenings during the week. On the weekends, I am available to check on your pets at any time. I have 2 cats of mine at home, they are comfortable with furry friends visiting them. I always start slow when introducing them to a new animal, for everyone’s safety. If visiting your pet at home, I always make sure to follow instructions left by the owner to ensure the best possible visit. I have experience walking dogs who would prefer to be an only dog; I always make sure to go out of my way to make sure they stay safe and comfortable.

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

About: I grew up with 5 dogs, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. Since I was 10, I’ve helped walk, feed, bathe, and love dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors often trust me with their pets, knowing I treat them like my own. I’m also comfortable giving medication, caring for senior dogs, and creating a calm environment for nervous pups. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and tail wags are my top priority! I’m free most times during the week and work part-time, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! I’m flexible with walks, drop-ins, and daycare, and I’m also available for boarding on weekends. Your pup will get lots of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away! When I’m caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means feeding, walks, crate time, meds, or just extra snuggles. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away.
