“Marisa and her family are the best! We felt totally comfortable leaving Zoey in their care. Our anxious dog had a great day. We.look forward to more visits! Thanks, Marisa, for the pictures and videos throughout the day. We appreciate you!”

About: What sets me apart is the individualized care I provide every pet. I take time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs while offering reliable communication, regular updates, and genuinely loving, dependable care. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I plan my days around walks, meals, playtime, and quality time, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. In my apartment, I care for my dog through structured daily walks, consistent feeding schedules, interactive play, enrichment activities, and a calm, clean environment that promotes comfort and safety. My apartment complex has a dog park included which has been great for my dog!
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were great with my Dustin boy! They kept me informed all day of his activities and how he was coming along! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely use them again! Thanks for caring for my Dustin!!”

About: Grew up in a pet household (turtles, fish, dogs) so I care deeply about animals! experience in pet sitting since I was a little kid 🥰 I have open availability for walks and house sitting, so reach out to me even if you have a last minute request! I’d love to take care of your fur baby 🤍 I live in a gated community with lots of green spaces, a dog park and a walking trail. We can walk/jog and/or go to the park and play. I’d also be happy to go take your dog to their favorite place too :)
“As a first-time dog owner, I wasn't sure what to expect from a dog sitter. The moment we walked into Maria's home our dog (who barks at EVERYONE) didn't make a sound, I knew we were in good hands. That alone gave us so much reassurance that he was with the right person. Maria was professional, caring, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and we'll definitely be using her services again!”

“Ellie is always happy going to and coming home from Emma’s, which says everything. She’s comfortable, excited, and clearly trusts her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands.”

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!
“Suilen continues to be so amazing with my Dustin!!! I feel so comfortable knowing he is with her. He loves her home and all the love she gives him! I highly recommend Suilen!! She is super sweet! Thank You for caring for Dustin the way you do!!!”

“Yekaterina and her family are amazing! They watched my 8 week old puppy whitney for several days and treated her like family. She sent videos and cute pictures throughout the day and the kids played with my pup and were so good to her. My puppy loved it at their house! 🩷💕”

“Carolyn took great care of my Dustin boy!! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day! Will definitely be using her again to watch my sweet boy. Thank you!”

“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”


“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”

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. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. 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.
“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”

“Cookie had the best time with Maria! She was really nice and made us all feel very confident about leaving him in her house (which is super nice and clean and super pet -friendly) She sent me pictures and videos of Cookie frequently and sent me updates all the time and I could see from the videos that he felt right at home.We can’t wait to book house sitting and boarding again 😊”


About: We are dog lovers! We have been doing Rover now for a couple of years, but recently took time off after having our daughter. Now that she is older, we realize how much we miss having new dogs hang with us! We recently relocated to Jacksonville, and are excited to meet a whole new group of pupp friends! My husband and I work from home during the week, so your pup will get plenty of time and attention. We have a fully fenced yard, so they will get lots of outdoor time to go along with indoor snuggles! I have always had a lot of love for dogs and grew up with them around. I enjoy the company and the humor they provide, each one coming with a unique personality of their own. It is always a joy getting to know our guests and dogs we see on the regular We are a family of four: our pupp Domino (malti-poo), my hubby, our 3 yr old human daughter, and myself. We live in a single story house and cater to dogs up to 30 pounds. Our guests will have free range in our home and are welcome to sleep wherever they wish unless instructed otherwise. We live in a gated community, and love taking the pupps on walks whenever we can!
Sandalwood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our John absolutely loves Maria, and your pup would be lucky to have her as a sitter! Whether it’s for a quick date night or a long weekend away, Maria is always there with great communication, reliability, and so much love for our guy. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands.

As a first-time dog owner, I wasn't sure what to expect from a dog sitter. The moment we walked into Maria's home our dog (who barks at EVERYONE) didn't make a sound, I knew we were in good hands. That alone gave us so much reassurance that he was with the right person. Maria was professional, caring, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and we'll definitely be using her services again!

Eric and Yanqui took such great care of eevee! They sent photos of her playing with their dog Stitch and kept me posted various times of the day. They are so loving and kind, also have a nice yard for the dogs to run around in. I would highly recommend trusting Eric and Yanqui to take care of your pet! They’ll make them feel right at home.

I’m super grateful she was willing to take my pup on such short notice — her flexibility made things a lot less stressful for me. I would’ve felt even more at ease with a few updates or photos during the day, just to stay in the loop. Thanks again for helping out!
