“My wife and I felt very confident in booking one of Rover’s highest rated sitters in our area, and we couldn’t be more satisfied. Haley is quick with communication and flexible with her schedule. If you need a sitter who is attentive and cares, don’t look any further than Haley!”


“Jeweliana took great care of our Willow while we were gone for a week!! I couldn’t have asked for a better care taker and we will book Jeweliana again!!”


“If you want to feel good about leaving your pets behind when away then Jada is the person! She went above and beyond for my pets. She spent a lot of time with them and provided extra love and attention! Highly recommended ?????”


“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child—dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. Today, I’m the proud owner of three dogs and two cats, including senior pups I’ve raised since they were puppies (now 13 and 8 years old). This lifelong experience has taught me how to meet the needs of pets at every stage of life with patience, love, and responsibility. Desde pequeña he estado rodeada de mascotas; los perros y gatos siempre han sido parte de mi vida. Actualmente tengo tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo dos perritos mayores que crié desde cachorros (hoy tienen 13 y 8 años). Con los años he aprendido a cuidar a las mascotas en cada etapa de su vida, siempre con paciencia, cariño y responsabilidad. I work as a night-shift nurse, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets during the day. After a night of helping people, I find peace and joy spending time with animals—whether it’s walking dogs, feeding them, or simply giving them company. I care for my own three dogs and two cats, including seniors I’ve raised since they were puppies. Pet care is part of my everyday life, and I’d love to help you care for yours too. Trabajo como enfermera en el turno de noche, lo que me da la flexibilidad para cuidar mascotas durante el día. Después de una noche ayudando a personas, encuentro paz y alegría pasando tiempo con los animales, ya sea paseando perros, alimentándolos o simplemente haciéndoles compañía. Cuido de mis tres perros y dos gatos, incluyendo perritos mayores que he criado desde cachorros. El cuidado de mascotas es parte de mi vida diaria, y me encantaría ayudarte a cuidar a las tuyas también. Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m visiting a client’s home or caring for pets in mine, I always create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure pets stay safe—whether on walks, during feedings, or while playing. I treat every pet like part of my own family, with respect for their space and your home. La seguridad y la confianza son mis prioridades. Ya sea que visite el hogar de un cliente o cuide mascotas en el mío, siempre creo un ambiente tranquilo y seguro donde las mascotas se sientan cómodas. Sigo todas las instrucciones con cuidado, mantengo las rutinas consistentes y me aseguro de que las mascotas estén seguras, ya sea durante los paseos, las comidas o el tiempo de juego. Trato a cada mascota como parte de mi familia, respetando su espacio y el de tu hogar.

“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”


About: As a young child in kindergarten , I told my mother I wanted to become a “dog catcher”. I have no idea what that is but I know I have always had a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own. I have always had dogs around me growing up so i have a lot of experience on caring for them. I work from home full time . My working days are M-W & then on Saturday. I’ll have plenty of time to watch your pets I have a fenced yard and I also have a little yorkie chihuahua mixed dog that lives with me and gets along well with other animals.

“Best pet sitter I have found in Jacksonville. I have one perfectly behaved cat, one troublemaker cat and also a few neighborhood ferals that were in need of help. Not only did Scarlett take perfect care of my home and furbabies, but also went above and beyond in caring for and keeping me updated on the neighborhood crew. 10/10 service, experience and care.”


“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”

About: I've loved dogs my whole life and have cared for them since I was a kid. My experience with dogs includes dog sitting, playtime and walking dogs for family members, friends and neighbors frequently. I have experience with Yorkies, Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, Poodles, Cane Corsos and American Bullys. I personally own a sweet lab/pittie mix who is a great companion and loves playtime. My experience also includes administering medication to dogs, giving doggie baths, fetch training, leash training and housebreaking for puppies. Rest assured that your fur baby will be safe, happy and cared for by an experienced dog lover and professional! Since this is my passion and full-time job, I will work around your dogs needs daily. We try to make this a doggy sanctuary with a 20-foot gated backyard for your dog to run around freely. I will also let your dog out if needed overnight. Cuddles and playtime will also be a part of time with us! I love to walk, so your dog will be walked up to one mile if needed. I also offer training during their stay. In our backyard, we LOVE to play fetch and lounge around. I also give doggie baths with the shampoo of your liking at a schedule that mimics yours at home. We have a private bathroom just for doggie baths. Their schedule is my schedule for their comfort! I care for my client’s pets like they are family. I believe in playtime with toys to play fetch with. You can bring any toys or bones your dog likes; we’re willing to make sure your dog is comfortable during their stay. We want owners to be as specific as possible on what their dog likes/dislikes so we can make their stay as comfortable as possible. We highly encourage you bring your own dog food so we can make sure your dog doesn’t have an allergic reaction. Any medication or special needs they might have will be followed and photos will be taken to ensure your dog is in good hands.

I’ll walk, baby talk and give your babies all the love in the world. I have a LARGE fenced in BACKYARD and what dog doesn’t love that!? Be sure to expect lots of picture updates from our fun day(s)! I work on Coronado Island M-F. I leave by 7:00am and arrive home no later than 4:30pm. Once home, the back door is wide open for the dogs to run free and have fun. My son and I spend our evenings outside with the dogs running around and playing fetch. I have a large fenced in back yard and two friendly silly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Bedtime is the best time because all dogs are welcome to sleep on the king size bed with me! Cuddles all night!!
