About: I specialize in caring for tiny dogs weighing 15 pounds and under. As a tiny-dog owner, I understand that little dogs have different needs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, hot pavement, larger neighborhood dogs, escape risks, senior mobility, and each dog’s individual comfort level. I offer private walks and drop-in visits tailored to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. I do not walk large groups of unfamiliar dogs together. Your dog gets calm, personal attention. For drop-in visits, I can provide potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and routine care based on your instructions. I welcome meet-and-greets so I can learn your dog’s personality, habits, fears, favorite things, and normal routine before care begins. I serve tiny-dog families in Sanderson, Glen St. Mary, Macclenny, and nearby areas of Baker County. Pick up and drop off available for a nominal fee. Little dogs. Personal care. Peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, unhurried care for your tiny dog. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and scheduled pet care throughout the week. Because I keep my client list intentionally small, I can give each dog plenty of individual attention and follow the routine that makes them feel most comfortable. Safety is especially important with tiny dogs. I pay close attention to secure harnesses, gates, doors, hot pavement, larger dogs, and other risks that can be more serious for a small dog. I follow your feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions carefully and never force interaction with unfamiliar dogs. My goal is calm, secure, individualized care that helps both you and your dog feel comfortable.
“Our dogs came home healthy and happy! Annie was very responsive and sent us pictures and video of our dogs while we were away! I will definitely ask Annie to watch our dogs again!”
“Taniya was great! She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Sky’s stay. She replies very quickly and we felt safe leaving Sky with her for the weekend. We will definitely be booking with her again for our future boarding needs. Sky seemed very happy throughout her stay!!”
“I had an excellent experience boarding my dog, Bentley, with Elijah. From the very beginning, it was clear that Bentley was in great hands. Elijah provided daily updates with photos and detailed notes about how Bentley was doing, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. In every photo, Bentley looked incredibly happy and comfortable in Elijah's home. It’s clear Elijah truly cares about the dogs he watches. I will definitely be using his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative boarder!”
“Highly recommend Brittni! She was very professional, kept me updated everyday with pictures, messages, etc. She had my dog for 6 days!! I plan to book with her again in the future.”
“We had been fortunate enough to find Georgia and she was great with our senior doggie. Georgia was very sweet and caring. Her 3 dogs are very sweet as well. She has a nice backyard for the dogs to go outside and uses gates and dog bed areas to make the dogs comfortable & safe as needed. Our senior doggie enjoyed his visit with Georgia and her dogs . We brought his bed, his blanket, food & treats for his visit.. We will choose her again..”
“Natalie was great with my dog and she flexible with times. She went cute pics and videos throughout my dogs stay. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a place for your pup.”
About: With over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and three years with cats, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every pet I meet. As a proud pet parent to a playful Pitbull, a loyal King Shepherd, a curious Tabby, and a cuddly Calico, I truly understand the unique needs and personalities that come with each breed and species. I’m experienced with everything from puppy energy to senior pet routines, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, medications, and hygiene. Whether you’re away for a weekend or just need daily support, I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention Pet care is part of my everyday life. As a pet parent to two dogs and two cats, I’m already on a daily schedule that includes morning walks, feeding routines, playtime, and grooming. I structure my days around their needs, which makes it easy to integrate the care of other pets into my routine. Whether it’s early morning check-ins, midday walks, or evening feedings, I’m flexible and fully committed to making sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s how I live. For walks and drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine and give them the attention they deserve. Walks are tailored to their pace and energy, and drop-ins include feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of love. I also make sure your home stays secure and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe.

About: With a lifelong love for animals that started on my family’s farm, I have a good understanding of animals and their needs. I specialize in pets with medical needs and or behavioral concerns. I’m currently a college student, most of my classes are online. I’m very flexible and available majority of the time. Last minute appointments are welcome.

About: I've had pets since I was very young, however I started understanding them and gaining a passion around the age of 12. I have experience with different breeds, from Chiweenies to German Shepherds, also cats! I can confidently track their fecal, give most medication, and even groom your fur babies. I have worked in a kennel for working dogs and an animal shelter. I work remotely but have a set schedule. This gives me plenty of time to walk and love all sorts of animals! I don't do anything once it's dark outside for safety reasons so currently 8:30pm is my limit. My main care will be walking/exercising dogs for at least 30 minutes, however I am also willing to groom (depending on what specifically), feed, and give certain medications.
About: I have always had pets growing up, including birds, tortoises, cats, and dogs, so I am familiar with a wide variety of needs and temperaments. I am responsible, punctual, and committed to following any special instructions your pet may have, whether related to diet, exercise, medication, or daily routines. My goal is to make your pet feel loved, safe, and happy while in my care. :) I look forward to providing top-notch care for your fur, feathered, or scaled baby!

In the evenings, both of us will be home to give your fur baby all the love, attention, and care they need. Saturday – Sunday: We do not work on weekends, so your fur baby will enjoy fun filled days with plenty of attention and activity. From walks around our neighborhood near the park to playtime in our fenced backyard, we make weekends exciting and engaging for every pup in our care. We have a fenced backyard and one (1) miniature Golden Retriever who can either play with your fur baby or be separated if requested. We are very cautious and will always ensure your fur baby is safe and well cared for.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Sanderson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sanderson home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sanderson.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sanderson. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sanderson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
