“Chrissy did a great job watching Olive! Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we could tell Olive was loved and had the best time with Chrissy’s family. We got lots of adorable pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away — no worries at all. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Chrissy again. Highly recommend!”

“Kristin was awesome! Our dog loved her and she gave him took great care of him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a polite, trustworthy sitter.”
“We had Hannah stay over at our house for a weekend to watch our dog who hates thunderstorms, and she took such great care of her. She was also so respectful of our home, and left everything so clean which was a great surprise when we returned. We really appreciate that she respects our dog’s needs to not be around other animals, and we can tell she gets plenty of love and attention. We totally recommend her!”


“Amy was amazing. My dog was so relaxed when I got home after 12 days away because she gave him such great care. She was very communicative and professional. She's my go to sitter as long as she'll have us!”

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born. I've always loved to spend time with them and have been responsible of feeding, cleaning, and grooming them ever since I can remember. I have a full-time job right now, but was looking to spend my free time doing something I enjoy and I cound imagine any time better spent than with the friendliest creatures I can think of: dogs. I keep my dogs in my house all the time so they are always surrounded by us and are constantly being cared for and entertained.
“Miss Anne was fantastic! She house sat our Cavalier pack and everything worked out perfectly. Its obvious she gave them tons of attention because I think they are mad that we came home. Thanks for all the photos and update while we were gone. I sure hope we can use Anne again.”


About: Hello! Im a local native to Jacksonville, and i genuinely love dogs and cats. Having two of my own, I really know how to take care of them and go above and beyond to ensure my furbabies are happy, therefore, I’d do the same for you! I have an Australian shepherd and husky, and take pride in engaging in their crazy ambitions, having trained them since they were babies. I’m working on my own business and need some extra cash flow. Therefore, I’m very available during the day, I usually walk my dogs in the morning and workout. So anytime after 12pm works really well for dog walking. As for dog sitting/home sitting, my job is remote so I can do work from home! Typically, my home is fenced, therefore, I usually just let my dogs roam free in the back while I watch. We play fetch and doing training back there. But for clients with no fence, I have no problem walking dogs to go potty. As far as inside, I pay close attention to things. If the room is too quiet or gets to rough, I’m always on top of things. And if my dogs are acting weird, I ensure I’m on top of that before the problem gets worse.
“Matt was amazing. My pup is a shy and timid around other men but within a few minutes it seemed like they were the best of friends. He kept us updated and well informed about our fur baby. I will definitely be seeking him out again for future stays.”

About: Animals have always been a meaningful part of my life, not just a job or responsibility. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to understand their individual needs and personalities. I take the time to build trust, especially with pets who may be shy or anxious, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care that keeps pets happy and owners reassured. I am a senior in college with a lot of free time, I love to be around and care for animals so this is a good fit for me. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, receive plenty of attention and playtime, and get the rest they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions, including medication or special care needs. I also keep the home clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and peace of mind.
About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

“Johana did a wonderful job with out three dogs. She make sure Jack got his medicine on time and snuggle with them as they like it. She provided us with photo updates and we found a small Polaroid picture of the dogs and a nice thank you note from her when we got home. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. We will definitely use your services again.”

“McKenzie stayed with our cat’s and dogs while we were away and she was wonderful! She was very sweet and patient with our pup Otis, he is very shy in the beginning. By the end of her stay I could tell he was very comfortable and happy with her! She sent lots of updates and we knew they were in great hands. We felt at ease knowing they were taken care of while we were away!”

About: I have been caring for pets for several years, helping close friends by providing dependable and loving care for their animals whenever they needed it. Through this experience, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and to follow each pet's unique routine. I'm also a proud pet owner myself, with one beautiful dog named Luna and three cats—Wedge, Benimaru, and Ainz. Caring for my own pets every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, and recognizing when a pet needs extra attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., which leaves me available during mornings, afternoons, evenings after work, and all day on Sundays and Mondays. I make pet care a priority and ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care they deserve while their owners are away. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and favorite activities. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Cathryn was wonderful to work with! She was able to watch my babies for me on short notice when another sitter had to cancel. She took amazing care of my two large dogs and updated me often on how they were doing throughout the weekend. I will definitely hire her again for future trips!”

“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!”

Chrissy did a great job watching Olive! Her communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we could tell Olive was loved and had the best time with Chrissy’s family. We got lots of adorable pictures, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away — no worries at all. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Chrissy again. Highly recommend!

This was our second time booking with Dominic and he was just as fantastic as the first. He continues to be reliable, attentive, and truly exceptional. He sends just the right amount of photos and updates-and the pictures made it clear Bruno was happy, relaxed, completely content and in excellent hands. It’s also pretty obvious Bruno and Dominic adore each other, which gives us such peace of mind. Thank you again Dominic!

Everything went Adam went absolutely perfect. Everything from the first introduction, to the process while I was out of town. It’s clear as day he makes it his main priority to give clients to comfort and peace of mind we all need when we leave our dogs at home. 10/10 recommend, and I will 100% be back with him.

Wow, we absolutely love Brooklin! We have never met anyone with better energy! We have two big and young doodles and an older (cranky) beagle mix and her calm energy and love for animals won them over almost immediately. One of our doodles is afraid of new people and normally takes a while to warm up (if he warms up at all) but he absolutely loved Brooklin! We were truly able to enjoy our trip knowing she was taking care of our house and animals with the utmost care and respect and best of all, with joy. We are so lucky we found Brooklin and you will be too!

This was my first time using Rover, and Josilyn made it the absolute best experience! We did a meet & greet prior to booking, she answered all my questions, and I booked it! She sent me updates and photos of my babies, and she loved on them and treated them as if they were her own! I will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much Josilyn and Rover!

Miss Anne was fantastic! She house sat our Cavalier pack and everything worked out perfectly. Its obvious she gave them tons of attention because I think they are mad that we came home. Thanks for all the photos and update while we were gone. I sure hope we can use Anne again.
