House Sitting in Riverview, Jacksonville, FL

“Christian was so great. She was flexible with her meet and greet times and when she showed up to meet Chester, she was friendly as can be and Chester was immediately comfortable with her (which is somewhat rare because he’s a pretty nervous boy). She stayed at our house for the weekend while we traveled and I couldn’t even tell we had a guest when we got back home because she was clean, tidy, and respectful of our space. The best part of her services, though, was how communicative she was - my husband and I were extremely busy on our trip and it was so comforting that each time I had a few minutes to check my phone, I had lots of pictures and messages that our Chester was doing well. We will be using Christian again for our house/dog sitting needs! Would definitely recommend her!”

“Did a great job watching over my two babies. I know they had so much fun and with them while I was gone. Kept the house as clean as possible with two big dogs and a rainy weekend. Will definitely book again when I go out of town :)”

About: I have been caring for animals and children my whole life. I am empathetic and have a calming energy. I care for all animals as if they were my own and will make pick up and drop off a breeze. I am currently working from home and have no issue caring for your pet. I am very transparent and will be upfront and communicative. Call day or night when your pet is in my care! I have a large, high fenced backyard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. The sounds of the trees rustling with the breeze and the brids chirping is sure to put your dog at ease. My house is very calm and peaceful.

“The dogs settled in nicely while Laura was watching them. She understands dogs need time to warm up and was very gentle with them. She’s prompt and reliable.”

“Johana provided excellent care and peace of mind for my two large (spoiled) dogs while I was traveling. She provided me photos of the pups when she arrived and throughout her stay to assure me they were doing well and were being lavished with attention:) She stayed at my home, house sat and dog sat. I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided and the kindness and conscientiousness of Johana. Thank you so much! I will definitely call you again.”

Dillon went above and beyond caring for our home and our Zeva. if I could give him 10 stars I would! I highly recommend Dillon to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Ligia did an awesome job watching my fur babies. Usually when I leave the pets I hear about it from my Great Dane. There’s a lot of “aaaawooo, howwwoll, growwwllly” when I come in the door but this time she was very calm and content. I could tell she had a great time with Ligia.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter than Crystal! She took such wonderful care of our home and, most importantly, our Frenchie while we were away. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals, and she treated our pup like her own, giving us complete peace of mind. She kept us updated with messages and photos daily, which made being away so much easier. We returned to a spotless home and a happy, well-cared-for dog. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter!”

About: Hey guys! My name is Kayley, I am originally from TN, moved to FL in 2023. I have a ton of animal experience. For many years, I did house sitting for quite a few people for quite a range of animals. I have watched horses, dogs, cats, pigs, llamas, alpacas, goats, chickens, ducks, pretty much any livestock animal you can think of. I have also worked at a doggy daycare and took dog handling classes (which also includes animal behavior classes). I am in Pet First Aid classes through Red Cross right now so I can be certified in that too. I have done a lot of pet first aid for my animals, animals on the streets and animals of friends/neighbors. The few places I have lived people would bring strays or their own animals to me and my roommate so we can evaluate the animals to assist in any way possible. I am NOT certified in anything, this is just knowledge I have from growing up in TN around all the farms I have worked on. I have taken quite a few animals off of the streets and either kept them or got them in with reputable rescues. **Please be aware, I do work full time. Generally I am off on most weekends, other days I will either work 8-5 or 9-6 so I will be able to care for animals outside of that timeframe. I do have a roommate as well (she is also a Rover sitter) so if your animal stays with me or comes to my home, my roommate is also here and can assist as well. Generally at least one of us are home, if we happen to both be out, it is one of us at work and the other headed home from work or we are running a quick errand. I also do have a vet reference that I am happy to share as well, we are well known at our vets office for our animals we take in from the streets and my dog with her health issues. (I do not have any animals from the streets in my home right now so no worries with sickness or anything, all of my animals are UTD on their vaccines.) **If you have multiple (more than 3) animals, please reach out and we can negotiate a price on the stay. I am a full time worker and I am also a part time (online) student. I have availability every day of the week, I can stay at your home or come to your home before and after my day job. I am able to care for animals in my home or in yours. I am open to anything that you normally do on a daily basis with your animals as to not cause a huge disruption to their daily schedule.

“Gypsy was very communicative and shared daily photos, videos, and updates on our pets. We have three small dogs and they are a handful, so we are so grateful that she took such great care of them! She took our pups on walks each day and followed our directions for their care well. We hope to book again!”

“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!”

About: Had a beloved dog for 14 years and miss her dearly everyday I would love to help care for your dog and will keep them company, as much as they keep me company too Flexible and willing to accommodate to different scenarios based on needs of pet/owner such as playing, dog parks, walks in the neighboring areas, and day care services. I'm flexible and can accommodate based on your pooch's needs. Lets review their schedule, habits and needs, during our initial contacts. Potty breaks can vary between every 2-5 hours, as needed. Play time, dog parks, snacks if permitted by pet parent. Your fluffy friend keeps their routine, their favorite bed and toys nearby. Potty breaks as often as needed.

About: I love animals. I have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. We absolutely love them and would do anything for them, and when they've had a health problem we've proven that. I will definitely take care of your animal as if they were my own. I will play with them and love them as much as I can. I love taking dogs on walks, my dog in particular loves going on long walks, you can't get her to go in part of the time. And that is something I will bring to your home too. I did have to put my older dog to sleep in the beginning of 2022 but for his last two years of life he was considered hospice. He was very happy until it was time to say goodbye, so I have experience with the medically needy including multiple medication rounds and some physical therapy. Currently I take care of the animals in my house all day, there are 12 of them. I am able to take them out every couple of hours and feed twice a day. I would be able to take care of other animals 2-3 times a day depending on the day. I live in a rental home and the dogs are crated when I leave. The cats have free rein of the home. As of yet my cats do well with dogs but they let their boundaries be known. I ensure that I am paying attention when everyone is out together so that I am able to know if there is an issue or one of them is pushing boundaries on another and they are getting upset. Generally it's the cats or my older dog who tend to start getting irritated because the other animals (generally the kittens or puppy) aren't listening to their warning. I am able to separate them and refocus them to something else, like a toy.
