“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.”
“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!!!”
“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”
“Johana was great with my Yuki. Yuki needs her medicine twice per day, early in the morning and in the evening and Johana was able to make sure she was taken care of. It's not easy for me to trust that Yuki is being taken care of, but Johana did a great job and sent me notes to know that she was ok and happy and safe. She went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate how nice and supportive she is.”
“Jeweliana and Riley were phenomenal! We were initially skeptical since we had never used Rover before, but we’re so glad we found them. They were very communicative, kind to our dogs, and took excellent care of our home. I’m so thankful to have found people who get along so well with our pups and make us feel comfortable while we’re away, knowing our babies are in great hands.”
“Evan was excellent with our Maximus. He communicated well and spent the whole day with our pup a few days after Maximus was neutered and provided great care. Would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve been loving on our four legged friends since I can remember! Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted their loved ones in my care since I was a kid and now I have my own four legged friend who I love with my entire heart! It’s true when they say, “Pets are family!” I’ve kept schedules of walks, medicine administration to all ages, play time, snuggle time, had many sleepovers in the owners home to having their loved one stay with me in my home; and yes even reading a bedtime story to a furry friend! I always enjoy taking pictures of your loved one so you can put your mind at ease knowing they are in great hands! Let me love your loved one like he/she is my own family! I currently have a very wide open schedule! Therefore, I have a lot of time for your loved one! Any day, time, or place I’ll be there! Send ‘Rover’ over! With my past dogs, I would care for them daily. I woke up to snuggles and kisses and often times, I'd go walk the dogs before I even went to the bathroom lol. They were my best friends! We loved to play, go for walks, or at times I'd even tell them stories like they knew what I was talking about haha. Dogs are like children. I wouldn't treat your dog any differently than mine, which means they would be treated as family!!
“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!”
“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”
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!
“Philip was available to meet at the last minute and was very flexible in meeting up to meet my dog. He had responsive communication during the whole time I went out of town . My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I am so glad to find someone to keep my dog for in the future. Thank you Philip!”
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.
About: I might not have ever owned dogs myself, due to allergies within my family, but don’t fear! I have always been first choice amongst my parents friends/family to dog sit! I’ve always done a great job & felt confident in my care giving, instruction following, and love and play giving. 🤗 I decided to lean more into my side hustles, and this would be a great additive to keep me moving, having an extra dollar in my pocket, keeping me involved and present with animals, and to be of service to my community. All which I value greatly! My side hustles include running Markets (Mom’s Elderberry booth at the Riverside Arts Market), Basketball/Sports photography, home/kitchen/fridge/depression room cleaning services + energy cleansing, Social Media Managing, creating/selling my own art, and a bunch of other random stuff along the way! I include this information to benefit your understanding of me as a person as well as just in case you have a need for any other service and would like to see if I’m fit for the job :) I am cleanly, careful, and I won’t creep around in your space. I will make our interactions quick, easy, and painless. I will do my very best to consistently keep you in the loop, send you picture updates of your babies, and follow your instructions just as they’re given. If I have questions or would like further direction, I will not be afraid of asking you. I’m a team player and would like to make this service to you feel like a breath of fresh air.
“Many is such a wonderful person and we appreciate the love and care she provided to our four dogs at our home while we were away. We had a meet and greet before our departure and the dogs took to her right away! She provided us with updates letting us know if anything seemed off and when everyone was getting along well while we were away. The next trip we take, Mandy is going to be the first person we call. Thank you again for your help!”
“Don’t know how many times we can say how much we love and trust Scarlett with our babies. We have found our go-to care taker for them when we’re gone. Her and her daughter are amazing!”
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.
“Chyna has been outstanding! I have left my baby with her many times. She is very sweet and professional. She sends you many pictures during the day and keep us posted. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I already have rescheduled for my future vacation. She is the best!”
“Great job - as always. Loved the pix. Knowing you were watching over the pups - and that they were relaxed and comfortable at home - made it so much easier to focus on getting through everything else. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
New Town pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maverick was amazing with our two Shibas. He was super responsive, respectful of our property, and great with the boys. Our fur babies can be quirky and he followed all of our instructions. The boys were happy and healthy when we got home. I think he really treated them well and we will absolutely book with him if the need ever arises 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!
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.
This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!
