House Sitting in Riverside, 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.”

“Jeweliana and Riley did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs, Ruby and Sydney. Jeweliana communicate with me daily through text and pictures. We were very happy with their care that they provided for the dogs.”

“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.”

About: I am a pet lover who works from home. I have tons of experience having a dog, a horse and many fish growing up. I've shared a tiny Manhattan apartment with my roommate's huge pitbull and his best friend, a little dachshund, and my roommate at grad school fostered dogs in our shared house. I participated in walks, feeding and playtime. I work at one of the big tech companies now, but miss being around animals all the time. I take every opportunity to be around my best friend’s new chocolate lab puppy, and love my other friend's Shitzu! I'm available to pet sit at your house, or do any walks/exercising. I just moved back to Jacksonville from Seattle, and live in Five Points. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!

“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”

About: Hi there! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working at Pet Paradise and Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. On top of that, I’ve been a lifelong pet owner—dogs, cats, hamsters, and even snakes! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, your pets will always feel safe and loved with me. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start and end my days with my own two cats, Anais and Cleo, so I’m already in the rhythm of feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I take extra care with things like locking up, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. You can trust that your home and pets will be safe and well cared for.

“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!”

“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.

“Vannia was awesome. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for my little girl, Piper. She is accommodating and communicates regularly. I will most definitely use her again.”

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!

“Emily was a great sitter and helped me a ton with my dog! Great communication great job and I’d absolutely rebook/recommend her services.”

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

About: I grew up on a small farm where my family bred, and raised deer dogs. I have been caring for animals my whole life, and dogs are my favorite. I am very respectful, and responsible. I have reliable transportation, and can travel in the greater Jax area. I cannot currently have a dog of my own so this is a great way for me to connect with animals while also helping you out. Additionally, my best friend is a professional dog trainer. I have learned alot from her over the years. So if your dog is trained, or training I am well versed in commands, and how to maintain their progress. I’m happy to hop on a phone call prior to care as I want you to know your animal is in good hands! I am single, child free, and animal free. I am a business owner, and artist. Therefore, I am self employed and my schedule is quite flexible. I am happy to provide service during weekdays, evenings, overnight, or weekends. I will be caring for your pets in your home, and will adhere to all instructions meticulously. I understand that your pet is part of your family, and I will always treat them with care and respect. I do my best to create a bond with your pet so that they feel comfortable, and to ensure they feel safe. I am extremely reliable, accountable, and responsible.
