“I’m new to the area and very picky about who I leave my fur babies with. Thank god I found Brooke who eased my anxiety and took such wonderful care of them while I was away. She is very accommodating and my dogs loved her. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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 like to update you on your pet/s every day, how they did and how they played. I also like to send pictures to you of your pet/s and videos for you to enjoy! I'm here to help right when you need me. I enjoy caring for all pet family and updating you with photos or calls of our time together. Reach out for more info. Pet care is heavily dependent on owner instructions and my own care experience. My attention is based on scheduled care and includes daily walks, proper meal preparation and admission, medications as necessary and active/brain play and independent settling.
“Tania did an amazing job watching over our pets the 4 days we were away. She had great attention to detail, checked in regularly with updates, and followed the instructions perfectly. Aspen seemed to love Tania! We would definitely recommend her to anyone and we plan on having her watch our pets again in the future!”

“Brianna was AMAZING with Winnie! She did a drop-in visit and took such great care of her—played ball with her outside, made sure she had fresh water, and gave her lots of belly rubs and love. 🥰 She also uploaded 3 adorable pictures which made me feel so reassured while being away. I can tell Winnie was comfortable and happy with her. I would absolutely book Brianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 💕🐾”

“Cheyenne was absolutely amazing with our three dogs! Before her week-long stay, she took the time to do a meet and greet, and it was obvious from the start that she genuinely cared about getting to know them and their individual needs. Throughout the entire week, she kept us updated with daily messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When our youngest pup developed an upset stomach, Cheyenne went above and beyond by cooking her rice, making sure she was comfortable, and keeping us informed every step of the way. Not only did she take exceptional care of our dogs, but she also treated our home with incredible care. She cleaned up after them, and on her last day she even cleaned our carpets and mopped the floors so we could come home to a spotless house. That level of thoughtfulness is something you just don’t expect. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll absolutely be booking with Cheyenne again. As much as I want everyone to know how incredible she is, part of me wants to keep her our little secret! 😂 Highly, highly recommend!”

“Emily was fantastic! She looked after our two cats perfectly and kept us updated with great communication and lots of photos. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“Kaja’s is so patient and gentle! My big boy absolutely loved her, we will definitely be booking her again. She gave us time to get some things done without being interrupted.”

“Very good experience. This is my first time having a kitten and my first time being away for a couple days. Meghan was extremely punctual when meeting. The pictures she took of my kitten were the most cute and precious pictures. I felt great reassurance that she was ok. My kitten was a litttle stressed when returning, but I can tell from the pictures that Meghan gave great comfort to my kitten and I really appreciate it. Would recommend.”


“Stop reading reviews and book Dessirae while you still can! She is amazingly trustworthy and caring. Our pups absolutely love her. We never want to book anyone else.”

About: I have been pet sitting/pet watching for over 3 years, while simultaneously owning and taking care of my own dog for over 10 years! I love getting to know animals and their sweet personalities, and knowing that you, the owner, trust me enough to let me love your babies! I've dealt with everything from cancer ridden cats, diabetic dogs needing insulin, to amphibians and pets of all sizes. I have patience and love for animals and have always and will always go above and beyond for you and your pets. They are more than pets, they are family and it is important they are treated as such. I encourage meet and greets prior to our first meet up so the animals meet me, my home, and my family.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.
About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and cared for animals for many years. I love animals especially dogs. I have one dog of my own named Lilo. I recently moved to the area and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I am a teacher so I can provide pet care evenings/weekends/ school breaks. I am happy to do overnights as well if I can bring my dog. I can care for dogs overnight if I can bring my dog. She is a small wire silk hair dachshund & gets along with other dogs.
“Chris was awesome and took such great care of my fur babies! I got daily updates and though I know they likely ran and hid when he arrived each day, he let me know he spoke with them and played with their toys for a bit so they could hear. Upon my return, I got a warm welcome from both of The Boys and could tell that they were more relaxed. I didn't get the cold shoulder treatment as I typically do. I will definitely call on Chris again and I would highly recommend him!!”

Riverview pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have used Brooke a few times now for drop ins for our mini trips, and she has been amazing every time. Dependable, always shows up on time, and has accepted our last minute requests. I absolutely love her detailed reports and all the photos she sends during each visit. It gives a peace of mind knowing our dogs are being well cared for while we are away. Highly, highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter!

Brianna was AMAZING with Winnie! She did a drop-in visit and took such great care of her—played ball with her outside, made sure she had fresh water, and gave her lots of belly rubs and love. 🥰 She also uploaded 3 adorable pictures which made me feel so reassured while being away. I can tell Winnie was comfortable and happy with her. I would absolutely book Brianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring! 💕🐾

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!!
