We were thrilled to meet Katherine. She was very responsive to our last minute request. We unexpectedly needed a dog sitter and she arrived in less than 2 hours. She was a perfect companion for our Shitzu “Baby” and kept her relaxed while we were away. We highly recommend Katherine!

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.

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!

Clover did an in-home sitting for us for a few days. We received a lot of photos, and they were very communicative. Clover was very in touch with our pups needs. They took care of our high-energy pup and made sure that she got loads of exercise through walks, beach sessions, and brewhound. Clover also took great care of our home. We will most definitely be using Clover again!

About: I am a full time pet sitter. I have worked with animals in multiple capacities for over 20 years, including working as a vet tech, fostering cats and dogs, volunteering at an animal shelter and doing an internship with a vet. I believe all pets deserve to be pampered with walks, love, cuddles, and treats! Your pet will be treated like family while in my care. I am fully insured on top of the Rover guarantee, I have pet cpr and first aid training and I am continuously taking trainings on animal care and behavior. This is not only my profession, it is my passion. I do pet sitting full time so I am home most of the day. If I go out it's rarely for more than 3 hours. Your animals are my number 1 priority and they will receive lots of attention. I treat all my clients like family. We lounge on the couch or we go fir walks or olay with toys. Whatever your animal wants to do, we will do. When I come to your home I will ensure everything is locked when I leave and I can rotate lights and bring in mail so it doesn't look like you are out of town. I will follow your schedule for your animals and make sure they stay safe while you are away. I have experience with medical needs such as needing oral or injectable medication, including insulin. I can handle special needs such as mobility issues, vision problems and more and I have experience owning and caring for geriatric dogs. I do require meet and greets so please ensure you book with enough advance notice that we can set one up.

We learned of Hannah through a neighbor who used her and was so pleased they are using her again. I was a little worried as i have never used a service like this before but she eased my mind. She was great, she sent pictures & our house was the same as when we left, our dogs were well taken care of and she even did extras like collecting our mail ect.. We have already booked another sitting and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

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.

I have booked Jeweliana and Riley a few times now and just feel so lucky to have found a reliable sitter for my sweet doggy. Not only are they responsible, respectful of my home, and follow instructions to a T, but they clearly have a lot of love for their work and care about what they do. My furbaby loves when they come to visit and it’s wonderful knowing that I don’t have to worry about a thing. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

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.

Brianna was fantastic! She was very detailed and truly cares about each one of my pets needs and handled them like a pro! I have a very shy cat who normally does not come out for sitters but was loving all over Brianna by day three, I am SO impressed!!! Energy doesn’t lie and she is an animal lover/caretaker to the core!

We are so very thankful for finding Alyssa! She was a total pro in every sense of the word. We have an elderly blind (and nearly deaf dog) and a very active kitten, and her patience and obvious love for animals was exactly what they needed. She housesat for us over the New Years holiday and not only did she take great care of our pets, she took equally great care of our home. It was cleaner when she left than when she got there! We look forward to working with her again in the future.

She was an absolute delight! I must admit, I was quite nervous since it was my first time using an app like this, and I wasn’t exactly familiar with the person I was hiring to watch my son. However, Luci went above and beyond to fulfill all my requests and meticulously followed his routine. I am thoroughly satisfied with the exceptional service Luci provided, and I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs someone to check in on and care for their dog while they’re away on vacation or traveling internationally, like me. 🥰🥰

Morgan has been wonderful! Not only was this a last minute sitting with chaotic details, she has handled our dog amazingly💗 My dog Bailey isn’t easy she’s young, lacking in training , and a tad reactive to other dogs. But Morgan handled all of this with ease and sent several update pictures making it impossible to be nervous :) can’t recommend her enough!
