About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life growing up with one so ever since being new in college I have always been seeking for connections with dogs. I am a student athlete so any sort of activity for your pet is never a problem for me! I am a student athlete at UNF so my schedule is pretty busy but I have a few hours to spare during my day! Here are my times when I am free: Monday/ Wednesday 1:20-2:55pm, Tuesday/Thursday 3:00pm- night, Friday 1:20-2:55pm and 4:00 -night) I have a dog at my house and the way i would care for it would be feed it and definitely get its exercise in for the day depending on what the owner wants and be very attentive
About: From a young age my grandma volunteered me to help look after our neighbors pets. But it never felt like a chore. I mean, is there any better job? I'd start with one house, & word of mouth had me sitting for a handful of neighbors! Overnight as well. Sitting was always for dogs, & I'm already a long time cat owner, so I'm the best of both worlds! I work part time as my main job, so I can pop in or stay overnight to look after your pets no problem! I'm best available Thursdays & Fridays, but can sit any night. I'm very respectful of my clients homes. I'll always leave it how it was found. Your pet will get all the care they desire, & the care you demand.
“Kyleigh is the best. She worked very hard with our anxious pup and gained her trust. They’re best friends now and go on daily walks. Highly recommended!”


“Jen just started walking my dog & I am so happy! She came to do a meet & greet beforehand & was very professional & good with my Daisy. She sent pictures of her during the walk & made sure my house was locked before leaving. I came home to a very happy dog. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: I grew up on a farm in East TN, taking care of any farm animal you can imagine from a young age along with our pet dogs, cats, and rabbits. I moved to Jacksonville to attend UNF. Although I’d love to get a dog, I don’t have the time or money for it as a student-athlete. So, I figured I would come on here to maybe have the opportunity to to give some extra love to other people’s pets! I’m currently taking classes Monday-Thursday, but I have long gaps and I’m done early enough in the day that I could easily walk dogs during those days. My weekends are mostly open, depending on the week. I’m a very active person, and I would love any chance to walk, run, or play with dogs! I’m very detail oriented, so I could easily follow any instructions for fences, leashes, and things like that for your specific dog.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Throughout college, I worked for Woofie’s, where I built strong relationships with both pets and their owners through dependable, loving care. I also volunteered at Young-Williams Animal Center in Knoxville, gaining experience with animals of all backgrounds and personalities. I truly enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾🤍 I work a FT 9–5 job but am available for morning, evening, and weekend pet care, ensuring your pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and love. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routines so they feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide regular feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection while keeping their space clean, safe, and secure. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs and I love them as my own!
About: I’ve cared for small dogs, chubby dogs and quirky dogs so I’m prepared to care for your fur baby.

I am in college and unemployed so availability is flexible. Generally, I’m available Monday-Thursday 12pm+, Friday and Weekends Anytime! For walks, I have a doggie water bottle to fill with some chilled water for your thirsty pet. I am also educated on the signs of heat stroke in pets.
About: We’ve owned many dogs before. We travel frequently for longer periods of time so we can’t have another of our own in this season. We still want to fill the time we are home with a dog in the house and be able to help out families. I work from home and my husband is a teacher so he is home mid afternoon and each evening. We are in and out during the weekends. We live very close to a dog park if that is something your dog is interested in and love going on walks around the neighborhood. We love spending time outside in the backyard or cuddled on the couch. We also have plenty of space if your dog prefers to be in a crate or on its own.

About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available.

Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.

Sandalwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is wonderful and incredibly friendly. She’s been flexible with scheduling, and my dogs absolutely love her. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust to come take my dogs out while I’m at work during the day. I look forward to using Rachel more in the future and highly recommend her!

Deborah is a true lifesaver. I had a day trip planned and my Rover backed out. Not only did she take on a last minute job, but she provided such detailed rover cards and incredible photos, that it felt like I truly knew what was going on back at home. I cannot wait to book more dog walking and drop in care services with her!

Ryan and Maria were amazing! They took such great care of my little one and kept me updated the whole time with pictures from the walk. They’re so kind, accommodating, and it’s a huge bonus that they live nearby. I can’t wait to book with them again. It’s such a big help with my work schedule!! Thanks guys!
