“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”


“Shera was an absolute gem who took great care of my pup. I had to come up from Gainesville for an appointment in Jacksonville and she happily agreed to meet me and took Harry for a long walk while I was busy. Shera is a lovely confident young lady who will instill confidence in you the second you meet her. I would confidentially recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thanks Shera!”


“Jada is FANTASTIC! I'm working night shifts as a medical student on an away rotation and was so nervous about leaving my dog overnight alone. Jada offered to come do a meet and greet the day before. She arrived promptly and my dog loved her. She came for an hour every night to walk him and hang out with him. One night I forgot to feed him and she gave him his dinner. She took lots of pictures and videos which I LOVE. Can't say enough wonderful things about her!”


About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and more. I’m not allowed to have any pets where I live now, so I have endless patience for everyone else’s pets. I miss having animals in my life so I’m grateful for the chance to keep your pets happy while you’re away! My schedule is very flexible. I work from home so I can go to clients’ homes and stay with pets for a couple hours or stop by a few times a day. I’m also available most weekends. I’m unable to care for pets in my home but at clients’ homes I plan to follow all their rules and spend as much time playing outside with dogs and playing inside with other animals as possible.

“Brittany has been a gem for us and our dog, Jameson. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy. Jameson looks forward to her visits and comes back happy and well-exercised. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Highly recommend!”


“Cassie is awesome! My dog loves her, and she clearly enjoys being around animals. She is great at communicating and updating us. We will definitely be using her for a long time!”


About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

About: My passion of caring for animals began well over a decade ago, when I started volunteering for local shelters and organizations in middle school. Since then, I've continued to grow my experience in pet care - whether through volunteer work or pet sitting - and have built great relationships with many local pet owners since. Very flexible schedule - weekdays and weekends! I am currently available mornings, afternoons, and evenings for check-ins, walks, feeding + water refills, etc. Let me know how I can help! I'm happy to work with pet owners on any special needs their pet may need assistance with during visits. Let me know how I can make your space comfortable for your pet while you're away.

“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”


About: Having multiple pets has been a part of my entire life, from the pets I had with my family to my own now. My first job ever was a professional care-taker at a boarding shelter for dogs. Now I walk and care for dogs part-time. My primary availability is during the week, with some weekend availability with enough advance. I work from home and am very flexible to accommodate changing schedules. I am comfortable crating your dog, taking them for walks, playing with them, providing basic care or anything else that you would like me to do for them.

About: If you're looking for trustworthy, energetic, and compassionate pet sitting, I'm your gal! I grew up with dogs and cats and I am now the proud owner of three rescues. Your pet's health and happiness will always be my top priority. Based in the heart of Jacksonville, FL, I have a flexible schedule with availability during the week, on weekends, during the day, and at night. If you're choosing a boarding option at my house, I have a fenced-in backyard with artificial turf that dogs love to play on. The backyard also has a mini pet pool and an easy bathing station for post-play cleanup. Though my dogs are crate-trained and have a routine with time in and time out, your pet can stick to their normal schedule as if they were at home.

About: My partner and I have been walking dogs and caring for cats since we were in middle school! We spent the entirety of 2023 staying in housesits and caring for lots of cats and dogs! (& always with 5 star reviews!) We are looking to make new furry friends. My partner and I both work remotely. This means we can be available to take your dog on a lunch break walk, work from home in your living room with your cat on our lap, etc.! Lots of availability with our schedule. Can do anything needed! We can cuddle your pets, walk your pets, crate your pets, etc.! We have done it all & are available to provide any level of care.

About: I've taken care of numerous animals over the years & done everything from deep cleaning them in the bath to wrapping a kitty burrito to clip their claws! In recent years I've taken care of my senior dog, walking her up to 10 times a day and cleaning up after her when her stomach is acting up. It's hard work but worth it when you have a companion for life! I also recently raised my kitten from a month old, staying up late nights to train him on solid foods, using a litter box, and keeping him comfortable! I'd love to get some extra animal time in caring for your little ones! I am currently working part time with plenty of time for your pets! With an inconsistent work schedule, Tuesdays are my only promised full day off but I have time in the week for Drop-ins, walks and occasional overnight stays! I will treat your pet as if they are my own! Walks, rubs, and play time will be ample and your animals needs will be my priority. I am able to do walks multiple times a day and keep a calm, comfortable environment while you are gone!

About: I work from home with flexible hours and am available on short notice. I have experience with dogs of all ages. I'm happy to walk or run with your pup! I am available any time during the day on weekdays. Working from home allows me flexibility to attend to your pup and spend time playing or going on long walks. Pet parents are free to leave specific requests for their pets. I strive to keep pets happy and healthy while their parents are out. I’ll do anything necessary to accommodate all needs and provide everything necessary for the fur babies.

About: I have taken care of the young and old cats and dogs of my own and neighbors since i was a kid! I recently nurtured and cared for my elderly cat of 19 until she passed. I know and understand the subtleness and gentleness needed for your babies ❤ I have experience giving pill and liquid medications and giving elderly animals the specialized care that they need 😊 I am currently a parttime nursing clinical Instructor. Just let me know what you need and I can let you know if I am available :) Right now I help take care of my roommates and friends four dogs. While I do not board animals in my home I provide a fun and safe environment for animals and have an awareness to make sure they are taken care of before I consider the rest of my day!

“Johnston took great care of our sweet Peach. Peach had plenty of water and was calm from the long walk and time Johnston spent with her. Her blanket and toys were set out like I had requested.”

She’s also very responsible and is quick to communicate, which, combined with her love of animals, makes her the ideal pet sitter/walker. Highly recommend.”

He sent me pictures every day and would let me video call them every night, he kept them well fed, play with them whenever they wanted to and even took Atenea out for walks. He always answered my messages and would gave me daily updates on how they were doing. I will always be thankful for what he did to me and my pets, as they absolutely loved him as well!”
