“Millie did great with my little one! He was immediately comfortable with her. This was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous leaving him with a complete stranger. She provided me pictures of him enjoying his stay. When I return to this area I will definitely bring my Fudge to Millie instead of boarding him at home now that I know he has a safe, clean and comfortable home to stay in. I recommend Millie 100%!”


“We were so pleased with Cody and Angel's care. They love staying with Amy and her doggy's. We are very happy . Amy is wonderful looking forward to using the service with Amy alot in the future.”


About: My name is Laura. I know the importance of trusting someone to take care of your babies. I will give them love and care like at home. They bring so much joy and peace to my life. I feel like they are the soul of our home. I hope to have the opportunity to meet and take care of your babies. See you soon. This is a part-time job, I also work at Amazon Flex, so I adjust my work schedule depending on the clients I have during the week! I have a small patio in the back, and you will also have your walkies in the area for as long as you want. I have two dogs that will accompany your babies Luna and Mattias... we hope to have them home soon.

“Viji and her husband were great for my dog! They were very excited to have her for the day, communicated really well, and made sure I knew my dog was well loved while I was away. They sent lots of videos and pictures throughout the day without being asked. I would HIGHLY recommend them and will be sure to use Viji for future writing needs!”


About: As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone who truly treats your pup like family. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and personalities and currently focus on pups 40 lbs and under to keep things calm and comfortable in my cozy home. My own dog is about 65 lbs, gentle, and great with dogs of all sizes! I only care for one family’s pets at a time so I can provide focused attention, a peaceful environment, and personalized care for your pup’s unique needs. I work from home full time, so your dog will have lots of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. While I don’t include walks by default, I’m happy to offer them if requested. I do require that all dogs are crate trained, just in case I need to run a quick errand—your pup’s comfort and safety always come first. Your dog will be cared for in a safe, calm, and loving home with a fully fenced yard for outdoor potty breaks and play. I only accept crate-trained dogs under 40 lbs and host just one family’s pets at a time. This helps ensure a low-stress, high-attention environment tailored to your dog’s comfort. My dog is friendly and well-socialized, and I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax, knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: My first best friend was my dog. I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and can’t imagine a home without furbabies. I am happy to play, love on, walk, feed, pick up potty, scoop litter boxes, and administer medicine if needed. I was unemployed from my full-time job this summer and started doing Rover full time. I enjoy meeting my neighbors and their pets. I’ve been pet sitting on the side for five years now and am happy to provide references. I will treat your home as if it were my own. Safety and security are my top priorities. Whatever security measures you have in place and want to share, I will follow your requests.

About: I grew up on a farm and watching my grandparents love nurture and take care of animals influenced me so much and I grew up having such a big love for animals. So with any animal, I have in my care I make sure that they’re loved and nurtured. So I currently don’t have a full-time job. I am a single mom of two, who has time to be able to play with puppies and walk dogs. At a certain point during the day, my children stay with their father while I go ahead and have time to do other things such as taking care of cats, walking dogs etc.. my children are used to having animals around them all the time so please don’t be afraid on booking with me. I make sure that I have a decent area for the pet to rest in either in my room or wherever they would like to sleep I have no issues with animals being on furniture. Now, if the client does disclose that her dog or cat is not allowed on furniture. I will do the same in my home. If client request for dog to have a bath, I have no issues with that.

About: I currently have a 13 year old lab and 22 year old son who lives at home & loves animals. My sweet pups would love new friends to play with. My husband & I currently work from home & have a very spry 13 yo lab who loves being around other dogs & would love to be your pooches play mate. I have a fenced-in yard & pool that my lab often enjoys. We have a nice doggie park in the neighborhood & I could also crate.

About: I love to make sure animals feel comfortable in their environment and feel nurtured as well as loved. Making sure they feel safe is the most important part of it all. The reason I love to pet sit is to give comfort to the pet and parent that their animal is receiving almost the same love they would from their own mom and dad away from a boarding facility and in a warm environment with lots of love and snuggles. I don’t like to think of a fur baby being locked away and scared so that’s where I come into play, to make sure they feel safe and secure and have a play buddy I am a stay at home mom and have a flexible schedule, so I am normally home or available to help when needed. I am able to accommodate whatever needs come up. I can take the dog for a walk as well as we have a fenced in dog park and a place for dogs to play. The dog would never leave my site. For cats, I would ensure they are safe, and do not get out of the house, they have all needs met and are comfortable whether hiding or playing.

About: Hi! My name is Leah, I’m 20 years old, currently in college for graphic design. I absolutely love dogs and have always been surrounded by them. I use to work at a doggy day care and was known for being able to work with all dogs. I loved seeing the pups excited to be with me! Dogs have always been a special part of my life and brought so much joy. Since I am unable to own right now, I’d love to be able to help you with yours! I’m usually free during the day, everyday (more on the weekdays). I work Monday and Thursday nights, occasionally other week nights if needing to cover. My schedule is pretty open for the summer since I am taking online classes. I’ve owned a dog for most of my life and have always given him the care and attention he needed, walks, playing, food and water, and love of course! I would be doing all the same with yours!

About: I provide personalized, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn basic commands or offering gentle support for senior pets, I’m dedicated to making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My approach focuses on both playtime and relaxation, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a priority. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have all the time in the world to spend and play with your furry friends! I am available any day throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my home, pets enjoy a cozy, pet-friendly space with secure areas for rest and play. I also do not have any pets of my own at the moment so all attention is on your pet. I ensure all hazards are removed, and I supervise interactions with other pets closely. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I stick to your routine to minimize stress and make sure they feel secure. I always keep a watchful eye on their well-being, follow any special instructions, and maintain a clean, safe space for them to relax and play. Communication is key—I'll keep you updated, so you always feel at ease.

My work from home position provides great flexibility for walks and playtime all throughout the day. Your furbaby will have fun here, guaranteed! Kash and I live in beautiful apartment homes on Southside Jax. Our home is clean, comfy, and spacious! The apartments are "garden-style" which means beautiful, naturistic scenery for your furbuddies to walk and romp. The entire area is pedestrian friendly with many sidewalks, crosswalks, and grassy areas great for sniffing. It does come with a wonderful dog park, however, I do not take Clients to the park unless requested as it can pose an unnecessary safety and health hazard.
