“James was wonderful with my fur baby. I know she was very comfortable with him, because one of the pictures he sent was her excited, standing for him to pick her up! She normally only does that with us! I'm definitely going to contact James the next time we go away. Thanks James!!”

“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.”

“Alivia is beyond amazing! This was my first time having to leave the dogs alone overnight and she did such a great job of walking them, being there with them sending pics l, feeding them and most of I’ll giving me a piece of mind that they were ok. Thank you Alivia”

“Aaliyah is amazing with our young puppy! She is always on time, communicates very well, and we totally trust her. You can tell she really cares and has a passion for what she does! Would recommend 100%!”

“Sara is reliable. She has quickly earned the trust of my two shy, elderly cats. They used to hide when a sitter came to feed them. With Sara, they have started joining her in the kitchen as she fills their bowls with food! Since we started using her, I do not worry as much when we are away!”


“Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!”

“So communicative and really made sure my babies felt loved while I was gone.Sent pictures with every visit while keeping me informed of their behavior/mood. Wonderful! Will book again ☺️”

“I can’t think of a more loving and capable caregiver than Brittany! Brittany did an amazing job with my Scarlett! My dog took a liking to Brittany immediately and she just connected with her so well. Brittany was extremely communicative, friendly, and very professional. We will be using Brittany regularly in the future for all our pet caregiving needs, and we would recommend her to anyone!”

“Kimberly was great with my girls! She kept me informed and provided updates throughout the day. I have no doubt the girls were very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend Kimberly and know that she would looks after your pet’s needs!”


About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve dog sat multiple dogs overnight as well as on a consistent weekly basis, caring for up to four dogs at a time. I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I make sure every dog gets individual attention and love. I especially adore puppies and enjoy helping them burn energy, stay engaged, and feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize a calm, fun, and safe environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work part time at Jacksonville University so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Typically I’m available for boarding Monday through Sunday Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm apartment with no kids and no other pets, so your dog will have my full attention at all times. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules you have in place. I’m attentive, reliable, and always aware of my surroundings during walks and playtime. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and never put in unsafe situations. I aim to create a relaxed, loving environment where your dog feels safe, cared for, and right at home.
About: Animal lover who had a rescue dog of her own! Experienced with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and fish. Highly recommended by neighbors to walk, feed, administer oral meand play with pets. Plenty of practice cleaning crates, litterboxes, and cages. I am available mornings and nights! I can stop by 2-3 times a day or stay overnight but I do work up to 6 hour shifts most days of the week. I have no pets and currently live in a second floor apartment. There is plenty of green space for walking but no off-leash areas. I have not had a pet of my own in a few years so I am not well equipped for a pet in my apartment, but I have a car and can easily travel to you.
“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!”

“If you have cats (and I'm sure it applies to dogs), I don't know that you'll find a better pet sitter than Allison. I have had multiple cat sitters over the years and no one comes close. Allison came by beforehand and took nearly an hour just to get to know the cats and their habits, likes, dislikes, routine, etc. Allison was incredibly communicative before, during, and after her visits. She sent lots of pictures and kept me in the loop on what was going on. She is one of the few sitters that has sent me pictures of the cats not just hiding or under the bed. She actually got the cats to come out and sit with her - which is something I don't think a lot of other cat sitters even bother to do. It was wonderful being able to travel without worrying about the cats and knowing they were in good hands. I cannot recommend Allison enough. She's a great choice for pet parents and pets. 20/10 and would urge people to use her not just for their own sanity, but for their cats.”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Tyler and I am a Jacksonville native. I have been in the pet sitting/dog walking business for over 16 years. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. I can administer medications and assist with grooming. In the past 7 years I have specialized in senior pet care. I look forward to caring for your babies as if they were my own! I am currently offering daily dog walking/pet check-ins. I also provide boarding services at my home, where your baby will be a member of our family. I live in a house with a locked, fenced in, back yard. I have children so safety is my number one priority. For boarding services I accept "CRATE TRAINED DOGS ONLY" I occasionally need to run errands and for the safety of all the pups staying I prefer to crate all pups while I'm gone. My dog named Sage passed away 4 years ago. She was my baby for 16 years. Now we have an indoor/outdoor cat named Cali. During the day she loves to sun bathe in the back yard and snuggle up in her bed at night. While caring for your pets I follow all instructions for your home and make sure your baby feels loved while you are not home.
About: Fur friends are enjoyable to be around, whether they are my pets or yours. When I am caring for pets, I am especially aware of their individual needs, their body language and their need for physical activity. My pets can tell me through their body language when they have had a good or bad sitter experience. When I care for your pets, I want your fur family to tell you that they had a good sitter experience. Happy wags and meows! During the week, I work from home but I have flexibility to drop in to check on your pets. I am also able to take them on walks or run around the back yard, if that is what they need. My desire is to provide a safe environment for your fur family when you are unavailable to care for them. I am trustworthy and intend to demonstrate that character trait to you. I treat others the way I want to be treated, including pets.

“Stacey got the job done and was attentive with my cat. She went above and beyond. We didn't realize her vet would be closed the day before Thanksgiving and we were unable to get a refill on her prescription that she takes twice a day. Stacey called the vet the day after Thanksgiving and picked it up for us. She really came through in a pinch and we felt great that she was the one caring for our gal. We highly recommend her”

San Jose Forest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Here’s a more organized, polished, but still super casual version with a bit of extra warmth: Justin did an awesome job with my two chihuahuas. They’re usually pretty skeptical of new people, but he was patient enough to get them outside and calm enough to actually go potty, which is a win in my house. He also followed all my oddly specific instructions for my quirky little dogs. Really appreciated how attentive and easygoing he was. I’d definitely book with him again.

We are so grateful for Rebekah’s help. She is very kind and passionate about animals and it shows! She came over for a meet and greet and it was so helpful for our anxious dog. She came to let our dogs out while we were gone for the day and they seemed very happy! She was patient with them and made sure they are comfortable. Thank you again!

Anna was wonderful. My 3 cats are pretty skittish and generally not great with strangers. Because of this I had told Anna that she shouldn’t expect to see them when she came. My expectation was that Anna would check their food and cat and scoop the litter pans. Anna went beyond my expectations and even was able to spend a little time with my cats and sent me pictures which was very reassuring while I was away. I would HIGHLY recommend Anna!!
