Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

Sarah was the best cat sitter I think I have ever used. She really seemed like she cared about my Kitty, spending extra time with him and he loved it! She even brought a toy that he is obsessed with! It gave me great comfort to know my little guy was in such caring and experienced hands.

I'm very pleased that Jamalia attends to my cat's needs, like providing Ruby with fresh water and cleaning her litter. She also spends time playing with Ruby before leaving my house. Ruby appears relaxed around her and seems to like her.

Ashlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our boys! She took her time and gave them lots of attention. She was easy to communicate with while we were out of town. We loved the updates and photos, and were put as ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. 10 out of 10, she was excellent and we will hire her again!

About: I’m Avery, and I grew up with pets! I love animals so much, and I have always been willing to care for the pets of my neighbors, friends and family! I have four cats and one dog of my own, and I am their primary caregiver. I look forward to getting to know your furry family members! 🐱🐶 I will be able to do Drop In visits for your pets at certain points in the day. I currently work a part time job at Gretchen’s Hallmark, and I am enrolled in one collage class on Monday and Wednesday evenings. I have plenty of free time during most days and I’ll be able to drop in My personal pets mostly live in doors with some outside time throughout the day. My dog and kittens sleep in a crate at night so they don’t get into anything. I understand that it can be very particular where your pet is allowed to go. I have taken care of other people’s animals that must eat or sleep in certain rooms, or get crated up when unsupervised. I am always very careful to make sure each pet is where they need to be.

About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $20! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.

Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!

About: Hi everyone! My name is Carine and I’m super excited to help you with your pet! I’m currently a recent UGA graduate and I love spending time with animals! I’ve personally trained my own puppy to know all the basic commands and pass the STAR puppy test and she is currently working on becoming a therapy dog. I also have one cat that I love dearly. I’ve been handling dogs and cats my whole life and love working with them! I’m super used to working with all types of dogs and promise that by the end of their walk or my care they will be happy and ready for a nap:) I currently run a small business from out of my home so I’m flexible all day! Let me take care of your babies and work around your schedule :) I have a dog/cat friendly environment at home always treat my animals like the queens or king that they are! Your fur baby will leave being happy and healthy

About: I've had pets my whole life — dogs, cats, even gerbils — and animals have always just… gotten me. I'm the person who ends up on the floor with your dog ten minutes after arriving somewhere, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm Ben, a Jacksonville resident with a calm, patient energy and a lot of genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like they're the most important creature in the room — because honestly, they usually are. I understand that handing your pet to someone is an act of trust. I don't take that lightly. You'll get updates, photos, and an honest account of how your pet did. No sugarcoating, no drama — just real care. I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats who need their space respected, and the occasional small animal who just needs someone who won't freak out. Your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed — not just watched. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'm reliable: if I say I'll be there, I'll be there. I communicate proactively if anything changes, which in my experience is what pet owners actually need most. I'm a calm, quiet presence. No loud energy, no chaos. Animals tend to relax around me quickly probably because I'm genuinely more interested in them than most things happening in a room. I'm comfortable with cats who need their space, dogs who need reassurance, and the full spectrum in between.

Jolinda is the perfect sitter! She accommodated me last minute to watch my kitties, and I was so incredibly grateful. She is very kind and attentive, and even met my kitties at my apartment a week before the scheduled visits to get acquainted with us. Throughout the three days that she visited my kitties, she did her job perfectly, and updated me throughout the entire hour she was there each day, sending adorable pictures of her playing with/loving on the kitties and thorough proof of her feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them fresh water. I was so worried leaving my babies alone for a few days, but couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of them. Jolinda is a genuine and kind woman, and I could not be any happier with her service; not to mention that her sparkling personality was the cherry on top! I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in search of a sitter. Thank you again, Jolinda!
