“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“We learned of Hannah through a neighbor who used her and was so pleased they are using her again. I was a little worried as i have never used a service like this before but she eased my mind. She was great, she sent pictures & our house was the same as when we left, our dogs were well taken care of and she even did extras like collecting our mail ect.. We have already booked another sitting and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Scott took great care of D-Lo and Millie Mae during a long vaca out of the country, including treating a hot spot for one of them and keeping the house in great condition as well. He’s super attentive and punctual, and the dogs love his stays.”
“Illeana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)”
“Jeweliana and Riley took excellent care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. They sent us lots of updates and pictures while we were away, which gave us peace of mind our pups were in such good hands. Our house was spotless when we returned and our fur babies were very happy. We will absolutely book them again!”
“Amazing care and my cat loves her!! First sleepover for a week while I was gone and she was super efficient and went the extra mile taking care of Kaydo. I Highly recommend Ashley.”
“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”
“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”
About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 I work from home and set my own schedule, but after years of doing this, it can feel secluded so this is my way of getting out and about and getting to know my community. Pets should be cared for the way Auntie cares for her nephews and nieces. Mom and Dad have rules and you stick to them, but Auntie is more fun!
“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Johana responded very quickly to my booking which I really appreciated and communicated easily with me! She gave me peace of mind while I was out of town that my kitty was taken care of!”
“Very appreciative of Evan stepping in to sit for our dog and cats. He was very communicative and took great care of our four footed family. Would highly recommend Evan.”
“Emily was an absolute godsend for our weekend away. I cannot recommend highly enough. She is such a professional with impressive knowledge of a wide array of animals. We were consistently notified of how the visit was going and responded to quickly with any requests. Will be booking again for our next getaway, no doubt. Thank you Emily!”
About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
“Kayleigh was excellent at communicating and was so sweet with my animals. She was very respectful in our home and we came home to the house exactly as we left it. I would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of and loved pets my whole life, and have lots of experience with pet sitting as well including puppies and seniors. Experience includes feeding, walking, overnight stays, bathing, and administering any necessary medications that are part of their regimen. My promise is to provide quality care for your pet while you’re away, communication, and lots of belly scratches and love. I currently work full-time during the week. My availability is mostly weekdays after 5:30 and weekends. If needed on a Friday before 5:30, we can arrange something with enough notice. I can take care of your pet in your home, or do drop-ins when needed if it fits within my current availability. I can do whatever you need for your pet’s care and normal routine.

Saint Nicholas pet parents share their Rover experiences
MAISY IS WONDERFUL! Honestly can’t say enough great things about my experience. Since it was my first time using Rover I was a bit nervous but she exceeded my expectations. She communicated constantly, sent me photos and had no issue sleeping on my couch with him (he’s a cuddler and needs the love). Also spent time real quality time with him outside, giving him his favorite bones and giving him lots of head scratches! I was skeptical because she only had one review at the time but it’s clear that experience was due to negligence from the owner who deliberately told lies. Dont be fooled, Maisy is an amazing dog sitter and human being. Thank you Maisy!
Taylor did an absolutely wonderful job watching our two dogs in our home. Her communication was excellent the entire time, which allowed me to truly rest easy and enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were in such great hands. We came back to happy pups and a perfectly cared-for house. I would happily use her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
It was our first time with this app our first time getting Adriana as a sitter for my doggie. She was great with my baby(gufy) he liked her. Everything was smooth she communicated with us on anything and gave me updates on Gufy every day. We are happy that we choose Adriana to take care of our baby Gufy. She is a very responsible person.
Lyndsay is amazing!! She took care of our Sigi as if she was her own. She also stayed the night and made sure she was comfortable and took very good care of our house. Lyndsay is reliable and prompt in her communication and took care with medication and supplement instructions. We will be using her again soon and highly recommend her!!! Thank you again Lyndsay for putting our minds at ease while we were away.
Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.
Risa took excellent care of our boy for a solid 15 days straight while we vacationed. She stayed in contact with us & sent pics to let us know he was eating, playing & doing well. He is a very emotional dog &, in the past, would get depressed & not eat. When we returned home we could tell he had been well cared for!! Would absolutely recommend Risa & we give her HIGH PRAISES for certain! Thank you, Risa!
Hallie left my mida at ease while I was away for a few days. From the initial meet and greet all the way through me returning home, I felt so comfortable leaving my guy Gideon with her. Communication was great and I could tell from the first pics she sent me that my dog was in great hands! Thank you Hallie, hope Gideon can hang out again soon :)
Zoe was great for our furbabies. She was very attentive to their extra needs and anxieties, especially with the holiday fireworks. She even had our grumpy old man cat snuggling up at bedtime. I appreciated her communication and updates. I will definitely use Zoe again for future needs!
