“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!”

“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.”

Heather G.

“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!!”

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 work full time in an office, however I’m available weekdays in the morning before 8:30am and after 6pm, and at any time during the weekends!

If visiting your pet at home, I always make sure to follow instructions left by the owner to ensure the best possible visit. I have experience walking dogs who would prefer to be an only dog; I always make sure to go out of my way to make sure they stay safe and comfortable.

“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.”
