“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”

“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Jenna is our go-to drop in sitter. She communicates effectively, sends great photos, and always cares for our cats as if we are home. Most recently, we had some issues with a medication delivery and Jenna went and picked up the medication for us and paid for it out of her own pocket. She is excellent as a sitter and I could not recommend her more.”

“We were sooo happy with our experience Lauren, she was so easy to communicate with and took such great care of our pup. She was on time every day and sent us great updates. We will definitely be booking again!”
“I had a last minute trip out of town and the sitter that I typically use was out of town as well. I took a chance on this lovely couple and they were phenomenal. Not only did they jump into action and take a brand new client last minute, but they did not disappoint. My animals were happy and healthy when I returned home.”


About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.

“Stacey is super dependable and communicative! Very thankful for the great care she took in regularly feeding our outdoor cat Zelda daily while we were out of town!!”

“Alivia was very friendly and attentive to my cat Margo. She was prompt, responsive and communicative, kept me informed about all the necessary details and thoroughly followed all the instructions ❤️”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. Currently I have my dog Kota, and my best friend’s dog Brandi who I am looking after for the next 3 months. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me, Kota and Brandi can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
“Sandra did a great job caring for our cat. She was comfortable giving his inhaler and spent lots of quality time with him during each visit. She also kept the litter box tidy and took care of things when he wasn’t feeling well. We’re grateful for her help and that we came home to a happy and well-loved cat!”

“Layda remains constantly the best. Keeps me informed on how our animals are doing, love her progress reports. She even came up with a special routine for one of our pups who would prefer to spend the visit playing, and save her peeing, for in the home. Layda gives that special attention to make sure she knows it’s potty time with a walk away from the back yard. Our dogs love her stopping in, as we can tell by the numerous videos and pics she sends :) we love Layda!”

“Jeweliana and Riley were amazing. They kept me in the loop the entire time and made sure my fur baby was well loved and taken care of. Thank you for everything!!”

“This was Rebekah’s first time sitting for our two cats and she was amazing! Our usually shy cat warmed up to her instantly, which is rare and meant so much to us. She sent great photos and videos and took excellent care of our babies. We felt totally at ease and would absolutely book with her again.”

About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!
Saint Nicholas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

Risa was a blessing to have, she took great care of our 3 dogs. Just as she would if they were hers. She came by our house very prompt and spent time walking our dogs , playing with them , feeding them and even hanging out in the house with them when the weather was rainy. They loved her as well . I would definitely rebook her for future appointments and recommend her. She takes her job very serious 10 ⭐️ out of 10 ⭐️

Em was absolutely great with Juniper! Juniper is very slow to warm up and Em had her comfortable by the end of her first visit. She sent updates and pictures. Communication was great and Juniper was one happy puppy. Highly recommend Em! We would love to work with her again!

There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!
