“Sarah is our families go-to when it comes watching our two dogs. We prefer to have someone stay at our house with them and she is always willing and able as long as she’s not booked! Love her and trust her to oth our house and pups!”


“We have a reactive dog until she gets to know you. Jessica’s knowledge in handling dogs and calm presence helped our dog to get comfortable with her quickly! We will definitely be looking to book Jessica again the next time we need a dog/house sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pupper!”


“Machalia was absolutely wonderful. She was responsive to a last min booking request, she arrived on time. She took great care of my babies and provided updates and photos. I will definitely recommend her and will be a repeat client.”


“Crystal is amazing! She house/dog sat for us from Fri-Sun after just meeting everyone briefly the week before. She kept great communication with pictures and conversations. Highly recommend!”


“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!”


“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”


“Very happy with Lucinda’s care of Lilly. Sent pictures each day Will definitely be using Lucinda again!”


“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”


“I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven! He completely loved on our 2 year old pittie mix for an entire week. I felt so at ease knowing our pup was being so well taken care of! Our rescue is a bit reactive and uncertain around new people and animals, and he handled him like a pro. Steven took the time to get to understand Indigo at his own pace. Definitely booking again. Thanks Steven!!”


“Nikki was wonderful with our two small dogs..she is sincere in her care and patience and willingness to adjust with a picky eater! We are going to use her again in the very near future! We HIGHLY recommend her!!!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was younger. I grew up around all types of dogs my mom is a retired groomer so I loved working with her! I had Rottweilers while growing up and a little terrier mix he is 12 now lol. I personally have worked at an animal hospital for over a year now as a veterinary technician. I am familiar with different behaviors, medicating, and more. I currently work 4 days a week and one weekend of the month. I have been looking for a side job where I can make my own schedule. I love working with animals and seeing all the different breeds. I am familiar with emergency situations and what to do if it ever came down to that. I am very cautious with treats, toys, gates being locked, doors being shut and crate training. If your baby is not crate trained and free roams all items will be out of reach that could be potentially harmful.

About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animals since I was a little kid. I love all pets, no matter the shape or size and I’m very passionate about their happiness, well-being and safety! I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University, working to get my doctorate and occupational therapy! I only have classes in the morning, before or after class, I usually work out and study. With just moving here in May, I love exploring and walking around new places with my dog who loves the beach just as much as I do! I take pet safety very seriously and always want to ensure the highest level of care for not only my dog, but your pets as well. For my dog, we usually do leashed walks around the grounds of my apartment or we go to the dog park! With the Florida heat, I typically carry water and treats to ensure my pet doesn’t get overhead! I am happy to do leashed walks or hang out with them in fenced in parks or backyards!

“Risa was kind and courteous. She did an amazing job with my animals! Definitely would use her services again in the future!”


About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m attentive, gentle, communicative and genuinely love bonding with each animals unique personality whether it’s a long walk, quiet companionship, or playful energy I adapt to what your pet needs most. I also respect your space routines, making every visit, smooth and stress free. I currently have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for pet care. I am able to prioritize walks drop ins and sitting throughout the day and I enjoy building a consistent routine with each pet I care for whether it’s morning walks midday, check-in or overnight stays. I can easily work pet care into my daily flow. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own space when I care for pets at your home. I do my best to stick to their usual routines so things feel familiar and easy for them. I’ll treat your home with care and your pet like family whether that means extra cuddles, sticking to their favorite walking route or just keeping them company while you’re away

About: From a young age, I have been surrounded by pets, which has cultivated my deep passion for animals. I currently care for five pets, including two dogs, two cats, and a leopard gecko. I prioritize their well-being by taking my dogs on regular walks and visiting the dog park, ensuring they lead active and fulfilling lives. For my cats, I provide engaging toys and playtime to encourage proper exercise and exploration. Having adopted all my pets at a young age, I have dedicated considerable time to their training, ensuring they are well-behaved and socialized. My love for animals drives my desire to offer high-quality care, filling in for the attention and affection that pet owners may sometimes be unable to provide. I would be honored to assist with your pet care needs and ensure your beloved companions receive the attention and love they deserve. I am currently employed full-time from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with the occasional Saturday shift from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM. I am available to provide care for your pets during weekday evenings and on weekends when they need extra attention and affection. To ensure my pets lead fulfilling lives, I prioritize ample opportunities for play, exercise, and bathroom breaks. This includes regular walks, trips to the dog park, and providing a variety of engaging toys. My dogs particularly enjoy interactive games like fetch and participate in training sessions to stimulate their minds. We also utilize puzzle toys with treats to help expend their energy. They are fed twice a day, receiving a portion of dry kibble in the morning and a nutritious dinner. Their evening meals consist of a balanced combination of kibble, high-protein wet food, and supplements for skin, coat, joint health, and vitamins. Additionally, I routinely trim their nails and brush their coats to maintain their health and appearance. I believe that a healthy dog is a happy dog, and after a day of activity, we all enjoy relaxing together for cuddle time on the couch to wind down for the evening. I assure you that I will provide the same level of care for your pets as I do for my own. Please reach out to discuss your goals for hiring a sitter or walker, and we can develop a tailored plan to ensure they receive the best possible experience and care they deserve.

“I recently moved to Jacksonville and made last minute plans to go to Miami for NYE. I requested Eric on Dec. 30th for the next day and he responded almost immediately that he would take care of my dog. He showed up the next morning to meet her and talk about her schedule and needs. He showed up later on that afternoon and took care of her. He sent pictures and told me how she was doing each time he stopped by my apartment. This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little anxious on what to expect. Eric eased my mind as soon as I met him and I was completely comfortable. Definitely will be contacting Eric the next time I have to be away from home.”

San Marco pet parents share their Rover experiences
Zoey was terrific. From the time that I inquired about Zoe pet sitting my dog in my home until her completed booking with me, she was in communication with me. she went above and beyond. She sent great pictures of Raven. Raven was very happy with Zoe. Day one Zoey did not hesitate to meet n greet. Departure day-arrived earlier in the day than planned due to my dog being afraid of thunderstorms. At one point she reported there was unusual beeping coming from the security system. She resolved the issue. Thankfully because that never happened before… Zoey stayed later than planned because our flight was delayed. She even put the trash out to the street.

Crystal is great! We’ve been using her to pet sit for about a year now. She is friendly and very communicative and she takes great care of our very senior dog and cats

Jada house sat for us over the weekend and we are so thankful! One of our dogs has some ptsd and takes sometime getting comfortable with new people. Jada was very patient and compassionate with him. He quickly became comfortable with her and it made us so happy to have someone he likes. We will definitely be working with Jada more knowing our babies love her!

Shaná, we are blessed having you care for our fur children! When we return home, they’re always so happy! The level of comfort they experience being able to stay in their home when we are away is priceless! Shaná, thank you for leaving our home in exceptional condition each time you stay. We look forward to booking your services again 💗💚🙂

Hailee was absolutely phenomenal! She sent us video and picture updates every day and took great care of our dog and cat. Hailee house sat for us and she left the place even cleaner than she found it. I highly recommend Hailee. She did an incredible job!

Anna is great! Took great care of our two chihuahuas! Always on time, easy to reach by text, took care of our house. Highly recommend!

Madison was awesome!! 1000% would have her come and stay with our fur babies again. She is great with communication and sent us plenty of pics while she watched the pups for us. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dogs were taken care of. Came back to happy and healthy babies. Definitely the best experience we have had with rover. Thanks girl, see ya next time! ❤️

I cannot recommend Mandy enough! She took care of my fur baby as if he were her own. Not only did she provide him with great potty breaks and meals, but she also made sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. I loved receiving pictures of my pup having a blast while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, look no further. This sitter is truly top-notch!
