“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!”


“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.”

“Mary was great! She accepted to look after our puppy with such short notice. I think Chai really enjoyed her company and we will definitely rebook!”

“Great job - as always. Loved the pix. Knowing you were watching over the pups - and that they were relaxed and comfortable at home - made it so much easier to focus on getting through everything else. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Laura did a great job with our dog. It was her first time with a dog sitter, but Laura was gentle and patient with her and gave her excellent care. She sent lots of good pictures and updates, too!”

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!

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.

“You will not find a better Rover than Sierra. Her communication skills are top notch and she tired out our 1 year old golden retriever more than we even can. 10/10 would highly recommend!!”

“Hands down she was the best rover doggie/house sitter we’ve had. Her communication was great and she was very attentive to our two doggies. She gave them lots of play time. We ran into an issue with our flights and got stuck an additional night out of town and Hannah was very willing to work with us and she helped us out tremendously! I would highly recommend Hannah and we would definitely like to have her sit for us again.”

“Jules was wonderful! She was responsive, sent pictures, and even bought little treats and toys for our dogs. She was attentive to the dogs and also very respectful of the home! The dogs always looked happy as can be in the pictures. Thank you, Jules!”

“Teresa really went above and beyond! I was nervous about leaving my babies for a few days but my mind was very quickly at ease. She sent pictures frequently and they seemed very comfortable with her! The house was exactly as we left it, if not cleaner. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This is the second time Jeweliana and Riley have stayed in our home with our pets. Just like last time, they maintained great communication, asked questions when they had them, gave us great updates throughout their stay and took wonderful care of our home and pets. We would be delighted to have them back 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 am currently on a pre veterinarian track at Jacksonville University. I have always loved working with animals from the zoo to vet clinics to my own animals. I have always loved to spend time with animals which is why I have decided to sign up for rover. I would love to express my passion and help others have complete comfort when leaving their furry friend. I want my clients to know they’re with someone who is passionate & experienced with all that is needed for their pets care. At home I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bunnies, and 2 guinea pigs! Everyday I experience hands on experience with pets feeding, cleaning, walking, and best of all giving them lots of love! At my clients home I make sure I go above and beyond to care for your pets! I will always be sure to make sure I clean up any mess, give your animal lots of love and comfort, and make sure all their energy is out whether that is throwing the ball outside, walks, or runs!

Cathryn watched my dog Gracie for 12 days. She was amazing with her and sent me pictures and an update daily. She even had a little birthday party for her since I could not be there with her. I would highly recommend her and will not hesitate using her in the future.

Kelly did a wonderful job house-sitting for our two pups over a long weekend. She kept us apprised throughout the weekend with wonderful updates and pictures as well. She took great care of the house, and we felt safe knowing our pups were in good hands. We can't wait to use Kelly's services again soon!

Scott was AMAZING!!!! He communicated throughout our entire trip and sent pictures of their twice daily walks. Gypsy did not miss her humans one bit:) The house was as clean as when I left it. I could not even tell he had stayed here! So glad we found Scott, it makes it much easier leaving town knowing Gypsy is in such loving and capable hands.
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.

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!
