House Sitting in Ortega, Jacksonville, FL

“This was my second time booking Robyn and Steven and i couldn't be happier! They do a great job with my pets and my home is always cleaner when I return than it was when I left. They both went crazy when Robyn stopped by to get the key. They love her so much and were so excited to see her. I will definitely book them for my next trip and every trip after! I am so happy that I found such a sweet, wonderful, animal loving couple to make my travels a little stressful. At least I never have to worry about my home or my pets being safe and well cared for.”

“Crystal is very accomodating when caring for our senior dog. She helps her navigate the stairs, ensures she gets all her medications and genuinely cares for her. You can be assured your pet is well taken care of while with Crystal.”

“Johana responded very quickly to my booking which I really appreciated and communicated easily with me! She gave me peace of mind while I was out of town that my kitty was taken care of!”

“Divina does such an amazing job with our pets. She has done dog walking/sitting, cat drop-ins, and full home stays with plant care as well. Our animals love her, and she is always so responsive, goes above and beyond every time, and is our obvious choice whenever we need this service. Highly recommend!”

Kevin D.

“We had a great experience with Mandy! She stayed in our home for five nights to care for our pack—two dogs and two cats—and when we got home, everyone was happy, healthy, and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our home was in good shape when we returned, and we appreciated her thoughtfulness and communication throughout the stay. We’d work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter!”

“Jamie was quick to fill in on a last minute request. She did a same day meet n greet and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. She sent photos and updates the entire time she was housesitting with our 2 dogs and gave us peace of mind that they were in great hands while we traveled. Will be reaching out to her again when we travel.”

“Sidnee was more than a dog sitter for us! We had a few house issues arise while we were away and Sidnee helped us take care of the issues while we were out of town. She stayed at our house for 4 nights watching our two active dogs! She took great care of them and left the house just as clean. We appreciate Sidnee so much!”

“I travel frequently for work and added stress of worrying about my dudes is not something I want! Karla is terrific and the boys love her! She’s stayed with my babes a few times for almost a week at a time. She’s incredible about sending messages and photos, is easy to get in touch with and I know when I get home the boys will be happy, healthy, and taken care of (as well as my excessive amount of plants) Thank you!”

Kayla L.

“Pam is just the greatest. She took awesome care of our home (9 acres, pool, etc.) and pups (2 large malamutes) while we were out of the country for two weeks. Normal household issues occurred and she promptly notified us and handled them. She coordinated with contractors. She went the extra mile with our pups and with us, leaving the house very clean and with a few romantic gifts from my boyfriend for my birthday. We could not recommend her more highly and were thrilled to have such a trustworthy and detail-oriented person in charge.”

Judith S.

“This is our second time booking Carine. She always updates us about our dogs and always leaves the house neat. We appreciate her immensely and will continue to book with her 💗”

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: Life long animal lover. Cat owner since Elementary school. Currently have 3. All different breeds. I have experience with dogs too as I used to have 2 Labs. I often dog sit for my friends on weekends so figured I'd give this a go as well. Love meeting new pets I have lots of free time on the weekends and love going on walks whether its hot or cold. Most evenings in my work week are free. Pretty flexible if there are some pop up opportunities. I just love hanging out with animals in my free time. Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!

About: Just trying to offer affordable care for pets, while I usually work from home I've been caring for pets all my life and know the importance of a loving home. I've had pet dogs, cats, birds, fish, bunnies, and I know the attention they require. I work from home and I have great space to dedicate to visitors. The neighborhood is great for walks to a number of parks within just blocks Indoor space just for pets is ample, I have a great yard, and I am close to parks. Your pets will get the attention they need, inside or out, depending on your preferences.

“Sophie and Ryan are fabulous house sitters! This is the first time we have had a dog sitter watch our pup in our home. We were out of town for four full days and they did a fabulous job! Our fur-baby, Gonzo was well taken care of. They even gave him a bath! Our house was very clean when we came home and our pup seemed content. Sophie sent pictures every day and was a great communicator. We will definitely use them 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.
