“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”


“I had an excellent experience with Amber meeting my dog for the first time. I loved receiving all of the thoughtful updates throughout out our booking - it was such a relief knowing that my dog was being looked after with such care. Amber is patient and attentive - she really went above and beyond with being sensitive of my dogs needs, especially when it comes to meeting new people. I'm looking forward to booking Amber again in the future.”


About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.


“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”


“Jada is FANTASTIC! I'm working night shifts as a medical student on an away rotation and was so nervous about leaving my dog overnight alone. Jada offered to come do a meet and greet the day before. She arrived promptly and my dog loved her. She came for an hour every night to walk him and hang out with him. One night I forgot to feed him and she gave him his dinner. She took lots of pictures and videos which I LOVE. Can't say enough wonderful things about her!”


“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion. I have had a life surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I have trained German Shepards with my uncle, done volunteer work with kittens and care for three disabled pets of my own currently. I also work at the humane society with many animals in need. At home and work, I am relied on for bathing, feeding, walking, medication and more. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of animals. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, I hope your needs are perfectly met! My schedule does vary but I am mostly available early mornings and late afternoons however I always keep my calendar updated for so you can get the most accurate bookings.

About: My passion of caring for animals began well over a decade ago, when I started volunteering for local shelters and organizations in middle school. Since then, I've continued to grow my experience in pet care - whether through volunteer work or pet sitting - and have built great relationships with many local pet owners since. Very flexible schedule - weekdays and weekends! I am currently available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for check-ins, walks, feeding + water refills, etc. Let me know how I can help! I'm happy to work with pet owners on any special needs their pet may need assistance with during visits. Let me know how I can make your space comfortable for your pet while you're away.


“Thank you Emily for the adorable Halloween treats, that was so nice of you! ♥️ Emily is so wonderful and patient with our dog who has anxiety problems. Our dog loves her!”


About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

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.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: This girl. I'm that person at your party that spends the whole night playing with your dog instead of socializing. And while it doesn't win me friends, it makes me a great dog sitter for your pup. I've got two little guys of my own, Chachi and Mac. I love rescues (and really all dogs tbh) and both my husband and I work from home so we spend a lot of time together. I believe that as much as dogs need food, water, and bathroom breaks, they need attention and love, as well. So, that means I'll be making sure your pets meet their maslow's hierarchy of dog needs. And if those needs include a lot of pets, playing, and occasional treats--I'm your man. I work from home and make my own hours so am available to work around your schedule. Please provide as much advance notice as possible and account for proximity when booking. While I have a fenced backyard, it isn't very large. I don't recommend large excitable dogs that need a lot of outdoor space to stay here. Additionally, as stated before, I have two small dogs. All dogs staying my house MUST BE FRIENDLY.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have always had a passion for them. I’m so passionate, in fact, that I’m in my gap year before I start veterinary school next year! I have fostered over 20 dogs, so I am familiar and comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I am currently the mom to a 1 year old dog and a senior dog, so I have first hand experience on the different needs and requirements for a happy and healthy dog! Additionally, I have personal experience in beginner puppy training, senior care, and handling reactive dogs. I am available 7 days a week at all hours. I just moved to Jacksonville a few weeks ago so am hoping Rover can help me meet some furry friends and create forever bonds! As a dog mom, I know first hand the anxiety that comes with having someone watch your pets, so I make sure to provide plenty of pictures, videos, and updates. I am very active and love to be outside so I can take your dog on as many (or as few) walks/runs as they want! Or if your dog isn’t active, we can chill in the AC! Due to my flexible schedule, I can provide both dog walking services and house sitting services (as well as overnight visits if needed)! My schedule allows for me to make your dogs comfort and safety my #1 priority! Due to having a reactive dog myself, I do not allow your animals in my own home for your dog’s safety and comfort! I am very tidy and organized, so I will treat your home with respect, and leave it cleaner than I found it!

About: Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time. My primary availability is during the week, with some weekend availability with enough advance. I work from home and am very flexible to accommodate changing schedules. I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.

“Serena was absolutely wonderful. She was excellent with my dogs, followed instructions, and was very communicative. I’m grateful for her help and will absolutely rebook her in the future.”


About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver and walker!? With me your dog baby will receive attention through dog walks, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. In the past I have traveled in the city with dogs doing activities such as bike riding and long distance walking. The Services I do provide are feeding, exercise walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

About: Senior care, kittens/puppies, special needs. I have had animals all my life and connect with them on a different level. I often hear people say that their dog or cat doesn’t like people when they like me. I’m flattered and appreciative of their trust. I understand what that takes & I return it with love. I am a corporate professional, currently going back to school, pursuing my dream of getting a degree in Interior Design. My classes are virtual which gives me a lot if flexibility. I spend my time with my 2 cats and dog while studying. I care for my fur babies like they are my children, because they literally are my kids. I have had several special needs pets, and know how to handle challenging situations. I love to meet new people and their pets. I often find myself stopping to say hello to a random stranger, bonding over their fur baby. It’s the constant connection in my life.
