“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”
“Francesca did an amazing job! She arrived on time and kept me updated on how Bella Boo was doing. I was very appreciative of the pictures she sent of Bella Boo. I will definitely be using Francesca again and 100% recommended her.”
“Rebekah was amazing! She took the best care of our spoiled boxers and sent lots of updates. Great communication! We will definitely be rebooking with Rebekah.”
“Madison and her fiancé took such great care of Ollie for a week for us! I have no complaints. They went above and beyond and it was like we never left when we got home to our pup. He seemed happy, content and well taken care of!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Sidnee was great!! We really appreciate her watching our Riley for the weekend. She was so organized and attentive and gave us updates twice daily! Highly recommend using her services :)”
“Leanna did an excellent job caring for our six dogs! Communication was smooth and clear from the start, and all expectations were met. She was very open and willing to learn our routines to make sure everything was done just right. She administered medications as needed, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and showed no signs of anxiety after our return. We truly appreciate her dedication and will definitely book with her again!”
“Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“We were thrilled to meet Katherine. She was very responsive to our last minute request. We unexpectedly needed a dog sitter and she arrived in less than 2 hours. She was a perfect companion for our Shitzu “Baby” and kept her relaxed while we were away. We highly recommend Katherine!”
“Second time having Emily stay and take care of our beloved dog Jasper. He absolutely loves that he gets to stay home when we are gone and his friend comes to stay. Thanks again!”
About: I am dog and cat friendly and have experience taking training classes with young dogs. Whether it's training puppies, providing extra care for senior dogs, or making sure your dog feels right at home, I tailor my services to meet your dog’s unique needs. Trust me to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I am currently working full-time and only have availability Friday after 2pm, Saturday, and Sunday. I will soon be on Rover full-time.

I am willing to accomodate any pet needs, whether that be supervised play or dedicated alone space for dogs that aren't as social.
“Johana was wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures, took great care of our fur babies and the house was in terrific shape when we got home. Will definitely book again!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Bart and Poppy for nearly two weeks in our home. She communicated and sent pictures regularly and also managed our plants. We feel confident and trust that she would demonstrate the same level of professionalism with your pets and home. We plan to use Sarah again and give her a very high recommendation. Thank you Sarah!”
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!

San Jose Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Griffin did an exceptional job watching my two pups! He gave me plenty of updates while I was away and followed my instructions perfectly. He even walked them an extra time in the afternoon because he knew I was getting in a little later than planned. I will definitely rebook him again in the future!
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!
Breyana was amazing with my dog Penny! From the start, she was communicative, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. Penny instantly felt comfortable with her and I came home to a happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved pooch. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my Penny girl. Highly recommend Breyana for anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter! I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Omar is truly a pet whisperer! He took care of our three pets (one French Bulldog and two cats—one of whom is very shy and the other epileptic and requires medication three times a day) and did an absolutely amazing job. Omar has a magical way of connecting with animals that is unmatched. All of our pets adored him! He followed all of our instructions to the letter, keeping our pets’ routine intact, and sent us plenty of videos and photos, so we could see them happy and well taken care of. We’ve never felt so comfortable leaving our pets with someone while traveling, but Omar made it so easy. He is a special person who genuinely loves animals, and it’s clear that they feel the same way about him. His ability to bond with them is something we’ve never seen before. We are thrilled to recommend him 200% as our official pet sitter from now on. Thank you, Omar, for doing such an outstanding job. You’ve earned our complete trust, and we are so grateful!
