“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

“Sammy was awesome! She took great care of our dog while we were at a music festival at Planet Bluegrass. Skye had a great time with her and got to go to the dog park. Sammy was very flexible and easy to communicate with. Thanks!”


About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

“Highly recommend Brandon! He was quick to respond and Django said he was really cool to hang out with 😃. Took him for a long walk and sent me a picture of him, too. We will absolutely contact Brandon for future visits.”


“Charlayda was the perfect person to leave my puppy with! He looked forward to being dropped off there every day. She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day and was great with communication. I will definitely have kaiba stay with her again!”


“Jessica’s the best! I drop my dog off twice a week for 12 hours at a time and he always gets so excited to go. She takes him on trails sometimes, but he’s also just so happy being at her house with her and her dogs. They play a lot! I also love the cute pictures and videos she se sends throughout the day!”


“Krystal and her family are amazing, Tommy loved her and her kids and got excited to see her. I would 100% recommend her and I will be contacting her when we come back to visit Tampa!”

“Tyler was SO great. She sent updates throughout the day and was so sweet towards my pup, Ted! He had such a good time with the other pups that were there and he came back happy and TIRED. Thank you Tyler, for being so accommodating and caring. Ted will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”


“Mazie was happy to arrive at Stephanie’s every day we took her. She made it very clear to us that she enjoyed her days there. I will definitely rebook with her anytime we need daycare or boarding in the Jacksonville area. Stephanie was super accommodating with our crazy drop off and pickup schedule. I do wish I had received a few photos but I know that is difficult sometimes.”


About: I work from home with my couch potato senior dog. She requires lots of meds so I have experience giving pills and accommodating special needs. I have an extensive medical background, this comes in handy when caring for dogs with diabetes, caring for wounds, etc. I've taken care of many dogs and some through Rover. I have a fenced in back yard and a doggie door. I work from home and will be able to take your pet out for walks, play with them, and give them all the attention they need! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and a doggie door. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and I work from my couch, so your pet won't be alone. I'll walk your dog while being completely vigilant against any threats. I'll treat your pet like my child. I only have one dog at home, non aggressive senior dog, no kids and a fiancé. Smoke free home.

“Ashley was fantastic! Super responsive, accommodating and flexible. Roscoe seemed to love spending time with her and her adorable dachshund. And she took beautiful photos of Roscoe while he was there! Would absolutely recommend and book again.”

You'll not find a more kind, knowledgeable and responsible person to take care of your furbaby.”
