“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

“Jeweliana was thorough, communicative, and kind throughout our booking with her. She was willing to accommodate adjustments, and asked questions that showed she was deeply paying attention to our cats and their welfare. I could not have asked for someone better to watch our kitties for us, and would definitely book with her again.”

“Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”

“Repeat and Happy customer. I’ve got a very large and clumsy beastie and Charlayda babies him like he’s teacup sized. He LOVES her. It’s such a relief to have someone to trust to care for our big puppy.”


“Ashley did amazing taking care of my boy! Highly recommend her. Perfect communication and feedback. Definitely felt safe leaving my boy with her for the weekend :)”

“Marilyn is such a great sitter for my Mason! He has some quirks when I’m out of town and she catered to all of them. He was so happy in the photos she sent.”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. Currently I have my dog Kota, and my best friend’s dog Brandi who I am looking after for the next 3 months. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me, Kota and Brandi can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
“This is the 2nd time we’ve hired Alivia to look after my cat Feni and are super grateful. She took my request last minute when I had a family emergency and had to travel the next day. Alivia was always on time and an expert on giving medication that Feni needs. She always leaves pictures which we enjoy looking at knowing our cat is taken care of.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 my family members and my friends always count on me to take care of their dogs when needed. I’m a huge dog lover and a dog owner myself and I worked in a vet clinic before. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to have doggy time and to have fun with them and take very good care of them. I’m always available in the mornings after 9am till 2 pm I live in an apartment but I love taking dogs on a walk and I love taking them outside and playing with them just having a fun time with them in general while taking care of them. They will take potty times very 2 hours and make sure they get a lot of walk time and play time.
About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !
About: I like to update you on your pet/s every day, how they did and how they played. I also like to send pictures to you of your pet/s and videos for you to enjoy! I'm here to help right when you need me. I enjoy caring for all pet family and updating you with photos or calls of our time together. Reach out for more info. Pet care is heavily dependent on owner instructions and my own care experience. My attention is based on scheduled care and includes daily walks, proper meal preparation and admission, medications as necessary and active/brain play and independent settling.

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.
“I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.”

About: I own and run a grooming/boarding facility here in Jax. Petcare is my passion! Branching out to include petsitting as well, so as to offer a one-stop shop of sorts for all your pet care needs. I provide courier service to vet appts and can groom your pups should you need those services during your vacation! Being that I run my own business, I set my hours, so I can do the same when caring for your pets. I have vet tech experience and am a certified pet groomer. I can administer meds, assist with potty training needs, clean litter boxes, do light house cleaning and make your home appear lived in, ALL while entertaining your babies and keeping them safe. When I come to your home, your pets will be provided loads of love and attention, all while remaining where they feel most comfy, in THEIR home! Should grooming services be needed, I can provide that as well. All dogs will receive a free exit bath! This includes nail trimming and ear cleaning.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.
Monterey pet parents share their Rover experiences
Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

Risa was a blessing to have, she took great care of our 3 dogs. Just as she would if they were hers. She came by our house very prompt and spent time walking our dogs , playing with them , feeding them and even hanging out in the house with them when the weather was rainy. They loved her as well . I would definitely rebook her for future appointments and recommend her. She takes her job very serious 10 ⭐️ out of 10 ⭐️

Em was absolutely great with Juniper! Juniper is very slow to warm up and Em had her comfortable by the end of her first visit. She sent updates and pictures. Communication was great and Juniper was one happy puppy. Highly recommend Em! We would love to work with her again!
