Plus the notes and photos she sent after each visit were really something that I was looking forward to. I absolutely recommend Liz and I’m sure my cats are looking forward to having her back!”
About: +15 years caring / sitting dogs and cats Sat multi animal homes including 3-4 dogs and 6-7 cats. Sometimes I feel I’d qualify to work at a literal zoo. High energy and punctual - prepared to walk / play as long as your dog needs. Administered medicines including pills, powders, creams, ear/ mouth injections, to a range of animals (young-senior). Patients range from very grumpy cats to unenthused dogs. Cared for several animals and administered medicines as needed. Ranging from retired greyhounds who have trouble walking to elderly bulldogs who may need a helpful roll to get up. I am a full time artist so I have a very flexible work schedule. I work from home so I can schedule drop ins and walks on short notice and with limited interruption. I have a reliable vehicle to get me to and from visits. I’ll provide unobtrusive and reliable pet care in your home. I am neat, don’t rush, and I pay attention to detail. I am door locking stickler and a double checker. I’ll stick to the script and let you know if there are any regularities.
“Another great visit from Mandy! She gave zippy his meds, played with him and let him out to go potty! My husband and I (and Zippy) loves when she stops by!”
“First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!”
“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”
About: ✨A Pet Care Experience Rooted in Love & Trust✨ When you leave your dog with me, they’re not just watched—they’re deeply cared for, prayed over, and loved like family. I believe every animal is a creation of God, deserving of gentleness, safety, and joy. Whether it’s a peaceful nap, a playful walk, or a quiet cuddle, your pup will be surrounded by calm, loving presence. I specialize in caring for senior dogs and those with medical needs—this isn’t just a service; it’s a calling. As a dog mom to a senior pup myself, I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and consistent care. I’m confident in giving medications, supporting mobility, and reading subtle changes in behavior. I don’t just meet physical needs—I nurture the emotional and spiritual well-being of every dog in my care. I play worship music during rest time, keep a peaceful environment, and speak blessings over each furry guest. My goal is simple: that your dog would feel safe, loved, and completely at peace while you’re away. You can rest knowing that your best friend is being cared for with intention, compassion, and prayer. This is more than pet care-it's a ministry of love and peace. I offer flexible and dependable pet sitting services with a fully open schedule to accommodate your furry family members’ needs. Without current job constraints, I’m able to provide personalized care, medication administration, and attentive companionship for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether it’s regular visits, overnight stays, or last-minute requests, I’m committed to ensuring your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My adaptable availability means I can tailor my support around your schedule and your pets’ routines, delivering peace of mind with professionalism and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I create a peaceful, grounded environment where animals feel secure and cared for, whether I’m stepping into their space or welcoming them into mine. With years of hands-on experience, especially with senior pets and those needing medication, I bring a calm, attentive presence that animals quickly respond to. You can trust that I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same respect, gentleness, and responsibility I give my own. My goal is to bring peace of mind—knowing your pets are not just safe, but genuinely cared for.
“I am thrilled to have found Shira! She is a lovely person and my cats warmed up to her immediately. Even my elderly, former feral cat loved her. She was quick to communicate about a potential issue with one of the kitties on the first day and it was solved almost immediately. I came home to relaxed and happy cats with immaculate dishes and litter-boxes. It is clear that Shira loves animals and I feel so at peace knowing that I have someone trustworthy to watch my babies in the future.”

Mid-Westside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Holly is wonderful! My baby's lover her and I get the most precious photos of them while I am at work.
Corey did a nice job watching after my cats. They all seemed to be comfortable around her and she was able to follow my instructions for care. We’d definitely book her again, thanks Corey!
Meredith was a great sitter ! Very communicative and my dog was very well taken care of. Would hire her again 🙂
Kaila is a terrific person - very nice, personable, and very good with Daisy. I had Kaila coming in because I had surgery and needed help with my dog's basic needs - feeding her, walking her, etc. Kaila gave it her very best. Daisy, my lab, pretty much didn't want to leave my side. I didn't realize she was too attached to me. Kaila did a great job & tried hard to get Daisy to play, walk, etc. I would highly recommend Kaila to anyone who needs dog care!!
Amanda was so kind and responsive. She took amazing care of our kitty during her daily check ins while we were away. She went above and beyond with trouble shooting our new auto cleaning litter box and bringing in packages. Would recommend trusting her with the care of your fur babies!
Excellent service as always! Jenny goes above and beyond to make sure the "Lil's" are well taken care of!
Emily is fantastic! She takes such good care of my kitty, I never need to worry about her when I’m gone. My cat loves her, and she doesn’t love many people haha. I highly recommend her!
Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my cat! She kept me updated regularly and was very accommodating. I highly recommend!!
Anna is wonderful! She's kind, professional, and takes good care of our pup when we need someone to walk him.
Kelsey saved us! She took care of my diabetic dog while I was out of town. She checked his blood sugar and gave him insulin two times a day for 13 days. She is loving and thoughtful towards the pets.
This is my first time trusting a stranger to take care of my fur baby and Julia was exceptional. I felt comfortable with her dropping in to check on and feed my lil buddy. She was very commutative but not overbearing. Definitely will be booking her again
Edward was amazing with Ittie and Peaches. They really liked him. Super professional and gave me updates on them every time he checked on them. Will definitely book him again.
Hampton is so wonderful! My (normally shy) cat trusts him and is totally comfortable with him which is such a treat and a testament to Hampton’s gentleness. Hampton is always so communicative and lovely and provides the best updates. He even goes so far as to tidy up litter box and take out trash, which I so appreciate! I will continue booking him as long as he’s able to!
Ashleywas amazing with my pets—reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to happy animals and everything in great shape. Highly recommend!
Brittany is great! Very nice, willing to work with your schedule. My pup needs meds at the same time everyday and she has been amazing with providing them!
