“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.
“Shera was absolutely fantastic! She communicated with us, sent us photos and updates each day, which really put our minds at ease. Our dog Oliver was well taken care of. We highly recommend Shera and would definitely book her again!”
“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”
“Jada was great with both our dogs, she was especially good with our puppy who was a little timid at first but they seemed to really warm up to her fast. We are really glad to have found Jada, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cassie is awesome! My dog loves her, and she clearly enjoys being around animals. She is great at communicating and updating us. We will definitely be using her for a long time!”
About: I am a high school teacher looking for work with animals! I have 2 dogs currently that love other dogs. I am active and love to take long walks and trips to the park with my own dogs. I am also very good with dogs with special needs - my chocolate lab currently takes 2 medications orally twice daily and an injection shot twice daily. Hoping to help out anyone who is in need of dog care. Being a teacher, I am very flexible with hours. I live on the southside of Jacksonville near Memorial Hospital so I am convenient to many places in town and I am willing to travel to areas just outside of Jacksonville as well. Can’t wait to meet your furry family members!
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”
About: My passion of caring for animals began well over a decade ago, when I started volunteering for local shelters and organizations in middle school. Since then, I've continued to grow my experience in pet care - whether through volunteer work or pet sitting - and have built great relationships with many local pet owners since. Very flexible schedule - weekdays and weekends! I am currently available mornings, afternoons, and early evenings for check-ins, walks, feeding + water refills, etc. Let me know how I can help! I'm happy to work with pet owners on any special needs their pet may need assistance with during visits. Let me know how I can make your space comfortable for your pet while you're away.
About: If you're looking for trustworthy, energetic, and compassionate pet sitting, I'm your gal! I grew up with dogs and cats and I am now the proud owner of three rescues. Your pet's health and happiness will always be my top priority. Based in the heart of Jacksonville, FL, I have a flexible schedule with availability during the week, on weekends, during the day, and at night. If you're choosing a boarding option at my house, I have a fenced-in backyard with artificial turf that dogs love to play on. The backyard also has a mini pet pool and an easy bathing station for post-play cleanup. Though my dogs are crate-trained and have a routine with time in and time out, your pet can stick to their normal schedule as if they were at home.

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

At a certain point during the day, my children stay with their father while I go ahead and have time to do other things such as taking care of cats, walking dogs etc.. my children are used to having animals around them all the time so please don’t be afraid on booking with me. I make sure that I have a decent area for the pet to rest in either in my room or wherever they would like to sleep I have no issues with animals being on furniture.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life since I was 8 years old. My first ever dog was a shihtzu named Dexter. I've cared for my cousin's 2 dogs (Rottweiler and Great dane. Ive also taken care of a kitten newborn for 4 month as well. I would say that I have a variety of experience from working with small and larger dogs. Im dependable and can follow any specific instructions (if any). I have a very open schedule so if you or your pet need me in a moments notice I can be there! Im currently a part time student at Jacksonville University with a lot of time on my hands and one class im working on during this summer break. So my availability is very open. I can adapt to each animal's specific needs when taking care of animals in clients' homes. If the animal is more active I'm more than happy to play with them indoors or outdoors (depending on the owner's preference). This also applies vice versa. I'm able to take the dog out for plenty of potty breaks and can accommodate to your animal's needs.

Alyssa P.
“I would highly recommend Alyssa for the position of dog caregiver. Alyssa is an extremely responsible person and I consider her one of the most trustworthy young people that I know. This is illustrated by the fact that my wife and I allow her unfettered access to our residence when we are not there. Over the past five years has spent countless hours at my residence interacting with my 13 yr old chocolate lab and she has shown herself to be a compassionate dog lover.”

“Alejandro took care of my dog, Atenea, who is missing one of her hind legs and my cat, Alfonsina, while I was out of town for some vacations. He sent me pictures every day and would let me video call them every night, he kept them well fed, play with them whenever they wanted to and even took Atenea out for walks. He always answered my messages and would gave me daily updates on how they were doing. I will always be thankful for what he did to me and my pets, as they absolutely loved him as well!”

San Marco dog parents share their Rover experiences
Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!
Shira is an absolute gem! She has been walking my dog regularly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her care, reliability, and professionalism. From day one, it was clear how much she truly loves animals—my dog took to her instantly, which is rare! Shira is always punctual, communicative, and goes above and beyond. Whether it’s a last-minute schedule change or an extra-long walk on a sunny day, she’s flexible and kind. I also really appreciate the updates and photos she sends after each walk—it gives me such peace of mind. Most importantly, my dog comes home happy and well-exercised, which says it all. I trust Shira completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and dependable dog walker. She’s the best!
