“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Absolutely amazing! I love that it’s a family business. Sent photos and kept us updated. Our flight got canceled and they were happy to come back out to fed and walk our dogs until we could get home. It took that stress off our shoulders. All my dogs were happy and healthy. Would recommend 10/10.”
“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use again!!!”
“Illeana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)”
“Jeweliana and Riley are the best dog sitters. They communicate so well and send us regular updates with photos and videos. They care for our animals like we would and seem to genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Highly recommend”
“Rebekah is amazing and was the perfect sitter for my anxious dog. She took her time with him to make sure he was as comfortable as possible. She sent plenty of pictures during our time away from our babies and was quick with communication. She really cares about each individual pet and remembers the little details to make the stay as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!”
“Johana made a great impression at the meet and greet, and as far as I can tell, she did a great job taking care of Lexi and the house. She kept me informed with texts and pictures several times a day. Definitely someone I would hire again.”
About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.
“I can’t speak highly enough of Cathryn! She took such great care of our two Frenchies, and our home, while we were out of the country for two weeks. We knew they were in good hands and we appreciated her taking care of some things around our home.”
“Scott is great. Our dogs Asti & Maxwell were happy and healthy. Scott supplied pictures is the dogs enjoying there regular and a few new habits. It was such a relief to see our pups cared for and loved as if we were with them.”
“Heather did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs. She was a great communicator, sending plenty of pictures and texts to keep me up to date. She did a marvelous job and my dogs were very well cared for. She even watered my garden, picked up their poop and played with them!”
“Emily is simply wonderful. Left her with my two golden doodle boy brothers for a full week at my home. She executed everything to perfection from feeding schedules to walking to pictures and videos myself and my children felt comfortable the whole time with Emily and we would definitely use her again.”
“Always love having Pam watch the boys. They are always well taken care of and content in their home environment. Sends plenty of photos and keeps us updated!”
“This is the second time I've used Hannah for a full week House and Dog sit, and would gladly call on her again. This trip even had a slight issue: (groomer cut dog right before our trip) and Hannah had to deal with my Winn licking the wound, and a small bloody cut. Hannah communicated the issue well and patched him up fine. She also leaves the house exactly as she enters it, leaving it as clean, if not cleaner, than it was left to her. I highly recommend for any service. I've also had one of my neighbors call on her and they were just as happy.”
“Madison and Dave did an awesome job! This was a first for me leaving my 2 babies and having someone house sit. I couldn't have had any better sitters than these two! My home looked just like it did when I left it and I'm very grateful. They were wonderful. They will definitely be the ones I contact the next time I go anywhere or need someone. 😁”
“Clover watched my two dogs while I was away for four days. I felt so much relief knowing my boys were well taken care of. Clover engaged my dogs in lots of play time, activities and snuggles. I could not be happier with the quality of care Clover delivered!”
About: Growing up in a home with multiple dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when caring for pets. I’m very comfortable around dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just helping them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I know every dog is different, and I always try to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up in a home with multiple cats and dogs. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets are comfortable and cared for throughout the day. Because I’ve always been around animals, caring for them feels like a normal and easy part of my everyday life. I’m used to living in a multi-pet household, so I pay attention to different needs at the same time. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions carefully by making sure they’re fed on time, getting the exercise and attention they need, and making sure they always have a clean, safe space. I also focus on being calm, patient, and respectful of each pet’s comfort level.
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
Midtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jeweliana and Riley took excellent care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. They sent us lots of updates and pictures while we were away, which gave us peace of mind our pups were in such good hands. Our house was spotless when we returned and our fur babies were very happy. We will absolutely book them again!
Bayli was absolutely amazing watching our two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly communicative and responsive the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and in order, which we really appreciated coming back home to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and owners feel comfortable. We would 100% trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!
MAISY IS WONDERFUL! Honestly can’t say enough great things about my experience. Since it was my first time using Rover I was a bit nervous but she exceeded my expectations. She communicated constantly, sent me photos and had no issue sleeping on my couch with him (he’s a cuddler and needs the love). Also spent time real quality time with him outside, giving him his favorite bones and giving him lots of head scratches! I was skeptical because she only had one review at the time but it’s clear that experience was due to negligence from the owner who deliberately told lies. Dont be fooled, Maisy is an amazing dog sitter and human being. Thank you Maisy!
Wow! I knew once meeting Scarlett that I had made the perfect match for my pup, Curbie. She and her daughter, Markie tag teamed at my house while sitting with my pup for almost 2 weeks. They both are animal (dog) lovers— you can tell that in the meet and greet by the questions she/they asked about caring for my older dog. I got updates and pictures even knowing I was out of the country and I might not have received them Scarlett and Markie still sent them to reassure Curbie was in great care. He was happy when I got home. Scarlett cared for my home too. She left it cleaner than when I left for my trip. She even washed her bed linen— I will be using her again and recommending her in the future to those who need a sitter for their pets of varied breeds and sizes. It’s scary to leave your pets in someone’s care but I was at ease knowing Curbie was in excellent hands.
Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.
Risa took excellent care of our boy for a solid 15 days straight while we vacationed. She stayed in contact with us & sent pics to let us know he was eating, playing & doing well. He is a very emotional dog &, in the past, would get depressed & not eat. When we returned home we could tell he had been well cared for!! Would absolutely recommend Risa & we give her HIGH PRAISES for certain! Thank you, Risa!
Hallie left my mida at ease while I was away for a few days. From the initial meet and greet all the way through me returning home, I felt so comfortable leaving my guy Gideon with her. Communication was great and I could tell from the first pics she sent me that my dog was in great hands! Thank you Hallie, hope Gideon can hang out again soon :)
