Pet care experience

Our Home Is Your Pet's Second Home

Our guests have free range of the house, with a large sunroom if they like to keep an eye on what's going on outside. 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!

Great experience with Catherine! Got daily pictures of my dogs, she has a nice fenced in yard and cozy home for the dogs to rest.

Catherine was very friendly and comforting for my girl who has never been away from me. She sends pictures and keeps you up to date with how your pet is feeling. We loved her and will definitely be using her service again!

Schedule

I am retired, so our drop-off and pick-up times are very flexible. I take the dogs outside approximately every couple of hours and we have lots of snuggle time.

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.
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.
