House Sitting Royal Lakes

“Valeria was amazing! This was my first time using rover and having someone come stay with my bunnies and kitties, she did not have experience with bunnies but was still willing to take care of them for me while I was away. I was nervous leaving my babies with a stranger but she made me feel much better about it, she sent pictures and videos throughout her time with them and always responded to texts. I could not have found a better person to stay with my babies, she was very kind and made my babies feel safe and comfortable with her too!”

Abigail B.

“So grateful to have found Jessica. She was able to fit us in with little notice, arrived on time, and dove right in to get to know our two dogs—one a very energetic puppy. They loved her (I can just tell) and we loved how she sent pics and was so personable and professional. I look forward to having her sit for us again soon.”

“Terri was SO wonderful!! She was flexible with a last minute booking and took such good care of my babies! I got lots of updates, and I could tell they were getting lots of love. She really thought of everything with them and left my apartment super clean and tidy. She’s absolutely the best sitter!”

“Hannah is a true dog lover. I knew it the minute she met my Springer, Brooklynn. Hannah was very attentive and kept her on her schedule. Hannah also stayed overnight to accommodate Brooklynn. I certainly would call upon her again to sit for my pup. Thank you Hannah.”

“Sarah is our families go-to when it comes watching our two dogs. We prefer to have someone stay at our house with them and she is always willing and able as long as she’s not booked! Love her and trust her to oth our house and pups!”

“Kaitlyn stayed at our home with our two dogs for a long weekend and we were very pleased. At the meet and greet she asked good questions and sent messages while we were away. We returned home to a clean place and happy dogs. Will use her again.”

Christy H.

“Very easy going and was available for a last minute booking! Margaret even took off the sheets and washed them without being asked. Will book again!”

“If I could give Alyssa 100 stars, I absolutely would! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing she was as a pet sitter for my 3-month-old puppy. I was honestly so nervous about leaving my puppy because she’s still so little, but Alyssa made the entire experience so stress-free and reassuring. She was incredibly attentive, sent me updates throughout the day, and made sure my puppy felt loved and cared for. I even have a little pet camera facing my puppy’s crate, and seeing Alyssa playing with, cuddling, and spending time with her all day made me feel so much better. You can genuinely tell that she loves what she does and truly enjoys caring for animals. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my puppy. I’m so grateful for how wonderful she was, and I would 100% trust her with my puppy again. Thank you so much, Alyssa! You were absolutely amazing! 🥹🤍”

“Carter is very responsive and reliable. He takes great care of our dog Tonks. Tonks doesn’t warm up to people easily, but she took to Carter right away, and we have booked Carter for many stays now.”

Lindsey M.

“Laura was amazing with Riley! We had another sitter cancel on us last minute, but Laura stepped up and saved the day. She is very responsive, attentive, and gave us updates multiple times per day on how our girl was doing while we were away. We will definitely be using her for future vacations/trips…we know our pup will be in great hands! Thank you Laura 😌”

About: I owned a huge Malamute/Lab rescue who ended up rescuing me. I miss being around animals. I will take my time in walking and spending time with your furry family member. I just moved here from Brooklyn NY. I walked miles upon miles in the snow and rain with my Dog. I enjoy being outdoors. I have been a dental Assistant for the past 30 years, I’m more than capable in keeping calm in a tense situation. Our Dental practice was pet friendly. I was the person in charge of handling all of the pets. I had a Great Dane panic at the sound of the drill, I soothed him throughout the appointment. I’m also a trained Dog Walker. I volunteer at the Jacksonville Humane Society a few days a week. I’m looking forward to helping out families that need an extra hand.

About: Ever since I was little, I have a huge heart for dogs. It wasn’t until I was 10 that I finally had a family dog, and from then on dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve done personal dog-sitting on and off for a few years for some friends and family and I’ve always really enjoyed it. I did Rover a few years ago and loved it, but life got a bit crazy so I had to pause it. I was still able to consistently dogsit for some repeat customers these last few years, and now my wife Linsey joins me in that! Your dog can expect walks at the park or in our neighborhood and for my home to be their home. If your dog likes play dates, my Rover friends would certainly be about it! My normal job is pretty flexible on where I can work, so if your dog needs extra attention, working from home is totally doable. Between me and Linsey, at least one of us is always home. I’ve done Rover on and off for the last 8 years, and have really enjoyed it! My job is super flexible, with set hours only 2 nights a week and once during the day. I’m mostly working from home or at coffee shops, so it’s super easy to stay home with a dog. Between me and my wife, someone can pretty much always be with your pet. Our home is your dog’s home. If they want to go on the couch or follow us around, by all mean. If they like their space, I’ll give them space. Many dogs have taken a snooze on our couch, legs in the air.

“Abby was fantastic! I have two large dogs that can be very picky about who they allow in the house. When Abby came over for the meet and greet, they quickly warmed up to her. Once it came time for her overnight stay, she was fantastic with communication. Throughout the whole stay, I felt very confident with her ability to take care of and understand my dogs’ body language. It took my dogs a whole year of knowing our previous dog sitter to jump onto the bed with her— with Abby, they jumped onto her bed for pets right away! I would absolutely recommend Abby to anyone who wants a trusting, communicative, detailed, and dog lover sitter!”

About: As a pet sitter, several factors set me apart from others in the field and contribute to the exceptional care I provide to furry companions: 1. **Tailored Care Approach**: I believe in personalized care tailored to each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. By taking the time to understand each pet individually, I can provide a customized experience that meets their specific requirements. 2. **Training Expertise**: I have specialized skills in training puppies, teaching basic commands, leash manners, and socialization. I understand the importance of positive reinforcement and consistency in training, which can help puppies develop into well-behaved and confident dogs. 3. **Senior Care Experience**: With experience in caring for senior pets, I am familiar with the specific needs of older animals, such as joint issues, mobility challenges, dietary requirements, and medication management. I provide gentle and attentive care to ensure their comfort and well-being. 4. **Healthcare Knowledge**: I have a good understanding of pet health and hygiene practices, including administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing basic first aid if needed. This knowledge allows me to respond effectively to any health-related concerns that may arise. 5. **Communication Skills**: I prioritize clear and open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, photos, and detailed reports on their pet's well-being and activities. I value transparency and strive to maintain a strong relationship built on trust and reliability. 6. **Passion for Animals**: Above all, my deep love and respect for animals drive my commitment to providing the highest quality of care. I approach each pet with compassion, patience, and enthusiasm, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. These qualities, combined with my dedication to excellence and professionalism, make me a standout pet sitter who goes above and beyond to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Incorporating pet care into my daily or weekly routine is essential to ensure the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's how pet care typically fits into my schedule: 1. **Daily Routine**: - **Morning:** Start the day by feeding the pets and taking them for a morning walk or play session to help them burn off energy. - **Throughout the Day:** Provide additional meals, snacks, water, and potty breaks as needed. Engage in interactive playtime or cuddle sessions to keep the pets entertained and emotionally satisfied. - **Evening:** Feed the pets their evening meal, take them for a walk or potty break, and engage in more playtime or relaxation before bedtime. 2. **Weekly Routine**: - **Grooming:** Schedule grooming sessions such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning as necessary. - **Exercise:** Plan longer walks, trips to the dog park, or other forms of physical activity to keep the pets healthy and stimulated. - **Training:** Dedicate time for training sessions to reinforce good behavior, work on obedience commands, or address any specific training goals. - **Healthcare:** Stay on top of veterinary appointments, medication administration, and general health monitoring to ensure the pets are in optimal health. By integrating these activities into my daily and weekly routine, I can provide consistent care and attention to the pets in my care, fostering a strong bond and ensuring their overall well-being. Flexible scheduling and adaptability are key to accommodating the individual needs and preferences of each pet under my supervision. As a pet sitter or caregiver, I provide personalized care for pets in both my home and clients' homes based on their specific needs. Here are some general ways I ensure the well-being of pets: 1. Feeding: I follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. 2. Exercise: I engage pets in playtime, walks, or other forms of exercise to keep them healthy and happy. 3. Potty breaks: I maintain regular potty breaks for dogs and clean litter boxes for cats. 4. Medication: If needed, I administer medication according to specific instructions provided by the pet's owner. 5. Comfort and companionship: I provide pets with love, attention, and companionship to reduce stress and anxiety while their owners are away. 6. Safety: I ensure that the environment is safe and free of hazards that could harm the pet. 7. Communication: I keep pet owners informed about their pet's well-being through updates, photos, and messages. 8. Special care: For pets with special needs or medical conditions, I provide extra attention and care as required. These are just a few examples of how I care for pets in my home or my clients' homes, tailored to each pet's unique needs and preferences.
