“Really sweet and caring girl! I really appreciate the time she took with my shy dog to warm up to her! I totally recommend her services! She’s taking care of my dogs weekly and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

“Kyleigh is the best. She worked very hard with our anxious pup and gained her trust. They’re best friends now and go on daily walks. Highly recommended!”


About: Hello, my name is Alyssa, and I have been dog sitting since I was about 11 years old. I love all animals, big and small! I will cater to each pet's specific needs and I will ensure they are loved! I have experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility handling a large number of dogs on a daily basis. I have a pretty open schedule, for over nights I do stay in the house overnight and sleep with the fur babies :) I have a very open schedule and am able to come to your house as many times a day and/or night as needed! :) <3 I play with the animals if they like to play. I feed them and walk them, sleep with them if needed, basically whatever is needed I can accommodate, for cats changing litter boxes, giving them treats or medicines or whatever they require!
About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life and feel comfortable working with animals of all kinds! I’ve always had both dogs and cats in my home. I’m confident handling animals of all ages, from young to senior, and I’m experienced in administering medications when needed! I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care and adapting to each pet’s unique needs and personality💕 my dog Ivy is a built in bestie for your puppy while they stay here! She loves big dogs to play fetch with !!! I have a strict pick up and drop off time policy. The set times we agree on are to insure my services are being used appropriately and correctly. 30+ minutes late can potentially add on additional fees to invoice. Thank you for understanding! Being home during the day allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day!! Love taking puppers on walks, grooming and love giving treats! My flexible schedule also means I can accommodate SAME DAY bookings, so feel free to reach out—even for last-minute needs!😇 We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as a crate available if your pet prefers or requires one. Our home is stocked with extra leashes, food and water bowls, plenty of treats, potty pads, and puppy wipes—so we’re prepared for anything! We’re committed to caring for your pet as if they were our own, providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. We’d be happy to welcome them into our home and look forward to hearing from you!

About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life growing up with one so ever since being new in college I have always been seeking for connections with dogs. I am a student athlete so any sort of activity for your pet is never a problem for me! I am a student athlete at UNF so my schedule is pretty busy but I have a few hours to spare during my day! Here are my times when I am free: Monday/ Wednesday 1:20-2:55pm, Tuesday/Thursday 12-1:30 and 3-anytime after I have a dog at my house and the way i would care for it would be feed it and definitely get its exercise in for the day depending on what the owner wants and be very attentive

“Jen just started walking my dog & I am so happy! She came to do a meet & greet beforehand & was very professional & good with my Daisy. She sent pictures of her during the walk & made sure my house was locked before leaving. I came home to a very happy dog. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Elaine is amazing with our Coco! We are so thrilled to have found her. She goes above and beyond on rainy days with our girl making sure her paws are clean when she comes inside. And that she has her rain coat on.”

“Catherine was great! Responsive, attentive and so kind to our pup! She was punctual and very easy to work with, would definitely recommend and use again for future bookings. Billie was a happy and tired girl, she enjoyed the walks and playtime together.”

“Alivia was wonderful. Very prompt, professional, excellent communication, and great positive energy. My dogs resonated with her and seemed super comfortable (and also super happy when they got back home). Thank you for your help!”

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Deborah! My husband and I have a Scottish terrier puppy. I had to travel for work one week and my husband works long hours at the hospital, so we hired Deborah to walk our puppy during the day. I was nervous because he is still young and this was is first experience with a walker. Deborah was so caring and patient with him! She followed all our instructions, came exactly when scheduled, and throughly documented each visit. It really put my mind at ease when I could see her visit reports and pictures while I was traveling. We will not hesitate to hire her again!”

“Sharon was great! This was our first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she was so communicative and took good care of our pup while we traveled. We’ll definitely use Rover and request her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’ve been caring for animals most of my life—from chickens and horses to gerbils and rabbits. After moving away from farm life, I began fostering dogs while they waited for their forever homes (including a Great Dane!). Now I’m happily settled with a senior chihuahua rescue of my own. I’m located in the Beach Haven area near Mayo Clinic and am happy to travel within the Jacksonville area to provide great care for your pups. I work as an EMT, which means I’m calm under pressure, highly attentive, and confident administering medications and monitoring for changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I bring patience, reliability, and lots of love to every visit. I’ll care for your pup just like you would, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. Use promo code AMANDN11 to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! I work a shift-based schedule, so I often have extra daytime availability for walks and drop-ins. On days I’m not working, usually my availability is wide open! I stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Walks are done with proper gear and awareness. During drop-ins, I handle potty breaks, fresh water, meals or medications if needed, and lots of attention. I treat your home with care, double-check doors and gates, and always make sure your pet is happy before I leave.
About: I have been around dogs of all ages my whole life. I’ve even been a foster parent for puppies and trained them for their forever homes. I am extremely comfortable to handle dogs of all sizes. On walks with me, it’s all about enjoying the scenery and having fun. I work full time, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I would be happy to walk any dogs before, during or after my work shift. And also on the weekends! My home is completely safe with a fenced in backyard. I treat every animal with care and love as if they were my own and respect the routines and rituals of other dog owners.
About: I grew up on a farm in East TN, taking care of any farm animal you can imagine from a young age along with our pet dogs, cats, and rabbits. I moved to Jacksonville to attend UNF. Although I’d love to get a dog, I don’t have the time or money for it as a student-athlete. So, I figured I would come on here to maybe have the opportunity to to give some extra love to other people’s pets! I’m currently taking classes Monday-Thursday, but I have long gaps and I’m done early enough in the day that I could easily walk dogs during those days. My weekends are mostly open, depending on the week. I’m a very active person, and I would love any chance to walk, run, or play with dogs! I’m very detail oriented, so I could easily follow any instructions for fences, leashes, and things like that for your specific dog.
About: With a deep-rooted upbringing on a farm, I've cultivated a profound understanding and genuine love for all animals. From nurturing newborns to providing compassionate care for aging companions, my experience spans the entire spectrum of pet care. Whether it's training boisterous puppies or offering specialized attention to senior pets, I approach each furry friend with patience, empathy, and unwavering dedication. My farm-raised background instills in me a unique perspective, enabling me to anticipate and meet the individual needs of every pet entrusted to my care. I am currently working part time so my availability is open for the most part. I have a lot of free time but I also help with a lot of other areas in my life and others life’s. In my home or the client's, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets are paramount. I ensure a secure environment by removing any potential hazards and providing ample space for pets to roam and play safely. Trust is built through transparent communication with pet owners, ensuring they feel confident and informed about their pet's well-being. Additionally, I maintain a clean and hygienic space, regularly sanitizing food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Whether in my home or the client's, I prioritize the comfort and happiness of pets, providing them with a nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Park Ridge dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is wonderful and incredibly friendly. She’s been flexible with scheduling, and my dogs absolutely love her. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust to come take my dogs out while I’m at work during the day. I look forward to using Rachel more in the future and highly recommend her!

Deborah is a true lifesaver. I had a day trip planned and my Rover backed out. Not only did she take on a last minute job, but she provided such detailed rover cards and incredible photos, that it felt like I truly knew what was going on back at home. I cannot wait to book more dog walking and drop in care services with her!

Ryan and Maria were amazing! They took such great care of my little one and kept me updated the whole time with pictures from the walk. They’re so kind, accommodating, and it’s a huge bonus that they live nearby. I can’t wait to book with them again. It’s such a big help with my work schedule!! Thanks guys!
