“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.”

“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!”

“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use 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!”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Cathryn! She took such great care of our two Frenchies, and our home, while we were out of the country for two weeks. We knew they were in good hands and we appreciated her taking care of some things around our home.”

About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.
“Evan is incredible! He watched our two pups Oreo and sukie for the evening. Sukie can be skeptical of new humans and immediately loved him. He provided great care, updates, and left my house as clean as he found it. I would 10/10 recommend him again.”

“Jeweliana and Riley were amazing house/pup sitters! They were very professional, respectful and made sure to ask many important questions during the meet & greet- this reassured us immediately that they would be a great fit. Throughout our weekend away we received many pictures and updates which we really appreciated. It was clear that they both had really learned both of our dogs’ personalities (yorkie and dachshund)! Nina & Rizzo loved them and we will definitely be booking them again in the future!”

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!

“Johana responded very quickly to my booking which I really appreciated and communicated easily with me! She gave me peace of mind while I was out of town that my kitty was taken care of!”

“Emily was an absolute godsend for our weekend away. I cannot recommend highly enough. She is such a professional with impressive knowledge of a wide array of animals. We were consistently notified of how the visit was going and responded to quickly with any requests. Will be booking again for our next getaway, no doubt. Thank you Emily!”

“Scott took great care of D-Lo and Millie Mae during a long vaca out of the country, including treating a hot spot for one of them and keeping the house in great condition as well. He’s super attentive and punctual, and the dogs love his stays.”


About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 I work from home and set my own schedule, but after years of doing this, it can feel secluded so this is my way of getting out and about and getting to know my community. Pets should be cared for the way Auntie cares for her nephews and nieces. Mom and Dad have rules and you stick to them, but Auntie is more fun!
“Illeana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)”

About: I have taken care of and loved pets my whole life, and have lots of experience with pet sitting as well including puppies and seniors. Experience includes feeding, walking, overnight stays, bathing, and administering any necessary medications that are part of their regimen. My promise is to provide quality care for your pet while you’re away, communication, and lots of belly scratches and love. I currently work full-time during the week. My availability is mostly weekdays after 5:30 and weekends. If needed on a Friday before 5:30, we can arrange something with enough notice. I can take care of your pet in your home, or do drop-ins when needed if it fits within my current availability. I can do whatever you need for your pet’s care and normal routine.
“Pam has become my trusted go-to for all of my sitter needs. All of my furbabes lover her (and her son!) and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my lovelies or my home.”

“Philip was available to meet at the last minute and was very flexible in meeting up to meet my dog. He had responsive communication during the whole time I went out of town . My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I am so glad to find someone to keep my dog for in the future. Thank you Philip!”

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

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.

Maverick was amazing with our two Shibas. He was super responsive, respectful of our property, and great with the boys. Our fur babies can be quirky and he followed all of our instructions. The boys were happy and healthy when we got home. I think he really treated them well and we will absolutely book with him if the need ever arises again!

Bayli was absolutely amazing watching our two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly communicative and responsive the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and in order, which we really appreciated coming back home to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and owners feel comfortable. We would 100% trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!

MAISY IS WONDERFUL! Honestly can’t say enough great things about my experience. Since it was my first time using Rover I was a bit nervous but she exceeded my expectations. She communicated constantly, sent me photos and had no issue sleeping on my couch with him (he’s a cuddler and needs the love). Also spent time real quality time with him outside, giving him his favorite bones and giving him lots of head scratches! I was skeptical because she only had one review at the time but it’s clear that experience was due to negligence from the owner who deliberately told lies. Dont be fooled, Maisy is an amazing dog sitter and human being. Thank you Maisy!

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.

Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.

This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!
