Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Sherwood Forest, Jacksonville, FL

About: As a young child in kindergarten , I told my mother I wanted to become a “dog catcher”. I have no idea what that is but I know I have always had a passion for dogs. I have two dogs of my own. I have always had dogs around me growing up so i have a lot of experience on caring for them. I work from home full time . My working days are M-W & then on Saturday. I’ll have plenty of time to watch your pets I have a fenced yard and I also have a little yorkie chihuahua mixed dog that lives with me and gets along well with other animals.

About: My family and I love animals. I enjoy taking our dog to the dog park and cuddling with our kitten. They are both friendly with other pets. I will be sure to give your fur baby the attention and love needed while you are away. My schedule is quite accommodating for pet owners. I work night shift so I am able to take care of your pet during the day and I work in 4 day shifts. Meaning when I schedule for visits I am off for a specific number of days and can provide full time care. I have a large enough house and fenced in back yard to separate animals and give them the space and roaming freedom they need. I ensure safety and trust.

About: Hi! I’m Colleen! :) I am very new to the Rover app experience but not to dog sitting! Whether it was a family or friends pups or my fellow coworkers, I’m happy to help! I love to spoil not only my dogs but yours as well! Bring on all the dog cuddles, kisses and tricks! I treat my babies more like human babies and would give the same amount of love to yours. The bigger the dog the better! I have an 8 year old Great Dane named Bella and a 4 year old Husky Mix named Annie. Whatever you need from me, I will make it happen. I’ll walk, baby talk and give your babies all the love in the world. I have a LARGE fenced in BACKYARD and what dog doesn’t love that!? Be sure to expect lots of picture updates from our fun day(s)! I work on Coronado Island M-F. I leave by 7:00am and arrive home no later than 4:30pm. Once home, the back door is wide open for the dogs to run free and have fun. My son and I spend our evenings outside with the dogs running around and playing fetch. I have a large fenced in back yard and two friendly silly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Bedtime is the best time because all dogs are welcome to sleep on the king size bed with me! Cuddles all night!!

“Courtney was always on time, feeding our 4 cats the way she was asked, playing with them and keeping place clean. She was keeping us posted about how they are doing, sending pictures after every visit. We could totally enjoy our few days trip!”

“Mandy was amazing! She took the time to get my nervous pup comfortable with her and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing our dogs were in great hands. So grateful for her care and will absolutely be using her again for any trips in the future.”

About: I bring a unique blend of reliability and genuine love for animals to every visit. As a Veteran I’ve spent over two decades mastering attention to detail, quick problem-solving, and responsibility traits that now help me provide top-tier care for your pets. I specialize in caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs with special routines or medications. I understand how important consistency and comfort are, especially for pets that are older, anxious, or have specific needs. What truly sets me apart is how I treat every pet like family. I’m calm, patient, and quick to bond with even the shyest or most energetic dogs. I’ll also keep you updated every step of the way with messages, photos, and honest communication. I now have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to doing what I love and that’s caring for animals. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I structure my day around the pets I serve. I prioritize consistency, comfort, and clear communication with pet parents. Each visit is never rushed. I truly enjoy bonding with every pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. Whether in my home or yours, I stick to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free. I provide a clean, fenced in yard, calm space, lots of love, and constant supervision. In your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and always keep you updated with photos and notes.

“Brooke was nothing short of amazing for our two dogs. We had a last minute issue getting our dogs boarded for a longer (over a week) trip out of town, so we opted for drop-in visits - including over Thanksgiving. Brooke was quick to agree to the drop ins and everything that followed was smooth, drama free. When you use Brooke for your pets, you will get a professional in every sense of the word, and will not have to worry about a thing!”

“Kyla was amazing! She and our dog, Riley, got along really well. She was very attentive to Riley’s needs and was very quick to update us with any news! We would highly recommend her to anyone in the area. 10/10 would recommend”

“There was a misunderstanding about which apartment Candice was to go to. Shen entered an empty apartment with no cat to care for and was alarmed!! We notified the apartment complex not to use the generic code on the electronic door locks so this does not happen again!!”

Sally B.

“Went above and beyond for my sweet fur babies! She was constantly providing me with updates and pictures, I didn’t worry about my puppers when they were in her care!”

Catherine K.

“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”

“Nancy did an excellent job dropping in to take care of my cat, Arthur, for six days while I was out of town. She was also able to accommodate me on extremely short notice, as a sitter that I had lined up had to cancel just a few days before the trip due to a family emergency. Nancy stopped by at the right time every day to give Arthur consistent care, which is important for a cat that can be fussy and relies on routine. She told me that she enjoyed brushing cats' coats when I first met her, and when I got back, Arthur's coat was beautiful! Arthur clearly enjoyed Nancy's visits, and I'll be sure to call on her again the next time I take a trip.”

About: I have almost 2 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats. I am experienced with pets from around 3 months up to 15+ years. I am experienced in feeding, as well as administering both oral and topical medications to both cats and dogs. I have experience with shy, timid and anxious pets, and I have dealt with aggressive/reactive behavior. I have experience working with multiple pets at one time, walking up to 3 dogs at one time, and monitoring up to 25 dogs in a play setting at one time. I have administered first aid to dogs with clipped nails, scratched paws, minor bites from other animals, and other various small injuries, as well as sickness. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I’ve had family pets ever since I was a little kid. At one point there were 7 cats and 4 dogs being taken care of at my home, and I was relied on to help feed, bathe, and walk them. I’m an animal lover. Sometimes I feel I connect better to animals than people themselves! I can bring the energy, but I’m also responsible, patient, and can remain calm when dealing with animals that are in distress or are very hyper. I will always follow how the owner of the pet wants that pet to be treated, trained or disciplined. I currently work full time hospital hours (12 hour shifts, 3x a week) so on days I work it is hard to schedule walks, but I’m available pretty much all day any other days. I will keep my schedule updated so clients can see what days I’m available, as my schedule does tend to change around often. I currently do not have the proper equipment or means to board any animals at the moment. However, I will follow anything the owner needs me to do when it comes to care of their animal in their own home, as well as offering all of the love I can! I will ensure the animals are fed, walked/ let out to play, and bathed if needed.

“I booked Little Zoo Care - Tania for the first time during a last-minute holiday crunch, and she absolutely delivered. She and her team were incredibly professional, reliable, and attentive with both dog walking and drop-in visits. Before getting started, she did a thorough walk-through and made sure to ask for consent before doing anything, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. As someone who has been a sitter on Rover myself and has used many sitters over the years, I can confidently say that Tania is the best I’ve worked with on this app. Her communication, care, and professionalism are truly exceptional. I’ll definitely be booking her again for Reina and Yves. Five stars — highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
