Information Catherine K. would like to know about your pet

We do not accept large dogs, nor dogs under 2 years old or overly playful pups because we cater to small dogs in the senior age range. We also do not accept dogs that have not been spayed or neutered. We do require a Meet-n-Greet unless the owner is from out-of-town coming to Jacksonville. I will take dogs on medication as long as they easily take it (I do not want to struggle with your dog). I do not accept dogs with any aggressive behaviors or high anxiety. We MUST be provided an emergency contact and your vet contact information.

A typical day

We have plenty of tennis balls and toys to play with and get lots of outside time, weather permitting. We have lots of snuggle time as well.

They are welcome to snuggle up on the sofas, on a comforter on the floor, or a cozy dog bed. We only accept dogs 2+ years old, and no large dogs. I will take dogs on medication as long as they easily take it (I do not want to struggle with your dog). I do not accept dogs with any aggressive behaviors or high anxiety.

Catherine was extremely kind and sent daily photos of my pup, which definitely gave me peace of mind while I was away. She took him in with only a few days notice as a first-time customer, and she gave me a tour of where he'd be inside/outside. Will be taking him back again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
