House Sitting Sandalwood

About: I am currently on a pre veterinarian track at Jacksonville University. I have always loved working with animals from the zoo to vet clinics to my own animals. I have always loved to spend time with animals which is why I have decided to sign up for rover. I would love to express my passion and help others have complete comfort when leaving their furry friend. I want my clients to know they’re with someone who is passionate & experienced with all that is needed for their pets care. At home I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bunnies, and 2 guinea pigs! Everyday I experience hands on experience with pets feeding, cleaning, walking, and best of all giving them lots of love! At my clients home I make sure I go above and beyond to care for your pets! I will always be sure to make sure I clean up any mess, give your animal lots of love and comfort, and make sure all their energy is out whether that is throwing the ball outside, walks, or runs!

“This was our first house sitting with Rover and Nathan. Nathan always responded quickly in the app. He sent pictures while we were away. He played with Sadie and took good care of our property too. Will definitely use Nathan again. Sadie was very relaxed and happy when we returned home!”

About: My mission is to provide compassionate, dependable, and personalized care that allows pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving their families complete peace of mind. Every visit is built on kindness, trust, and treating each pet like a member of the family who is viewed and nurtured with love! Currently living with a cat, and I am both, a dog and a cat person! 😇 I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate regular daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting requests based on client needs and availability. For recurring dog walking clients, I typically schedule visits within consistent time windows (such as mid-morning or early afternoon), which helps maintain your pet’s routine and reduces stress. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I will coordinate a schedule in advance to ensure your pet receives reliable care and attention while you are away. I respond to messages promptly and will always communicate clearly if I am unavailable or if my schedule is full for a specific time period. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes or during walks, which allows pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort level before beginning care. I ensure all doors and entry points are secure at all times, and I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any chance of escape. I do not allow off-leash outdoor time unless explicitly approved by the owner and in a fully secure area. I maintain a clean environment by properly handling food areas, litter boxes, and any pet-related messes during each visit. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will immediately communicate any concerns to the owner. Trust and respect are very important to me. I treat every home with care, privacy, and professionalism, as if it were my own.

“Isabella was great!! I was so glad to have a trustworthy sitter, who was still willing to take care of my pup in the aftermath of a hurricane. Took great care of Rosie and I highly recommend!”
