Pet Sitting Southpoint

About: ​I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. ​My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. ​Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own. ​I am available for morning and afternoon care to ensure your pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I have a very flexible routine that allows me to prioritize drop-in visits and walks when you need them most. Whether it’s an early morning check-in or a mid-day walk to break up their day, I am consistent, punctual, and dedicated to keeping your pet on their preferred schedule. My goal is to be a reliable and calming presence in your pet's life. When I enter your home for a visit, I prioritize safety and security, making sure your pet feels comfortable and your home stays secure. I am highly vigilant during walks and play sessions, ensuring a stress-free experience for your furry family members. I pride myself on following instructions to the letter—from feeding routines to ensuring your house is locked up tight when I leave.

“Erin was so sweet and sent thorough updates and pictures! My cat is super shy and she tried to interact with him in a calm manner. Would recommend her!!”

About: Fur friends are enjoyable to be around, whether they are my pets or yours. When I am caring for pets, I am especially aware of their individual needs, their body language and their need for physical activity. My pets can tell me through their body language when they have had a good or bad sitter experience. When I care for your pets, I want your fur family to tell you that they had a good sitter experience. Happy wags and meows! During the week, I work from home but I have flexibility to drop in to check on your pets. I am also able to take them on walks or run around the back yard, if that is what they need. My desire is to provide a safe environment for your fur family when you are unavailable to care for them. I am trustworthy and intend to demonstrate that character trait to you. I treat others the way I want to be treated, including pets.

“Scott was kind and worked so well with our dogs. He handled our paralyzed dog with love and compassion and was sure to take our other dog on walks to ensure she wasn’t stressed. Honestly Scott gave us peace during our trip that we had been looking for! Thankful for him and looking forward to working with him again the future!!”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve dog sat multiple dogs overnight as well as on a consistent weekly basis, caring for up to four dogs at a time. I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines, and I make sure every dog gets individual attention and love. I especially adore puppies and enjoy helping them burn energy, stay engaged, and feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize a calm, fun, and safe environment so both pets and owners feel at ease. I currently work part time at Jacksonville University so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Typically I’m available for boarding Monday through Sunday Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm apartment with no kids and no other pets, so your dog will have my full attention at all times. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any house rules you have in place. I’m attentive, reliable, and always aware of my surroundings during walks and playtime. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure, and never put in unsafe situations. I aim to create a relaxed, loving environment where your dog feels safe, cared for, and right at home.

“Olivia was reliable, communicative, and clearly very caring. I really appreciated the updates and photos — it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands while I was away. She was attentive to instructions and made sure my dog was well taken care of each visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and kind pet care!”

“Sara is reliable. She has quickly earned the trust of my two shy, elderly cats. They used to hide when a sitter came to feed them. With Sara, they have started joining her in the kitchen as she fills their bowls with food! Since we started using her, I do not worry as much when we are away!”

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for many years to help my family and friends. It’s time to be rewarded for my love for animals and be paid by others for my services. It’s hard to find good “customer service” these days; I am the opposite, your pets will get great service/attention from ME! Bonus: my career has been as an Administrative Assistant so I’m very organized and can assist with other things too, if needed, requested and discussed. I am currently unemployed and have all the time in the world to care for my pet and yours. Toodles of course would stay home. Toodles is an inside cat. She is proven healthy and well fed, I clean the litter box and her food bowls daily. She gets treats and love. We just bought her a new perch to watch the birds and lizards outside the window. In someone else’s home with their pets, I care for them exactly as asked. Walks, feed, love, crate (if necessary), it is what the client wants that their pet shall get!

“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”

“Carter did a wonderful job with our cat during a two week trip. He was really easy to communicate with and very reliable. We will definitely rebook with him!”

Emily F.

“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”

“I booked Danielle as our first time on Rover and couldn’t be happier! Our dogs absolutely adore her! She was punctual and attentive the entire time and went above and beyond to make them feel loved while we were gone! 💗 You won’t regret booking her to care for your fur babies!”

About: I’ve owned two dogs in my life; one German Shepherd throughout my childhood and my current 6 year old Golden Retriever mix who is the best work from home coworker a girl could ask for! I love dogs and if I could, would have many more. Rover is the perfect way for me to get my dog fix in, without becoming the crazy dog lady. Many friends and family have relied on me to host their pets for days or weeks, or just come over for a walk here and there or a trip to the dog park. I work from home and taking care of my pup is how I break up my day. Whether it’s a walk on a trail, or just a trip to our neighborhood dog park, we have plenty of options to get in come good exercise and then come home for some rest. I have a fenced in dog park in my community, there are two sections. My home is large enough to host another large dog with mine. I am a very diligent walker and put safety first.

“Jasmine is AMAZING!!! We have 4 HIGH energy dogs with separation anxiety and we, ourselves, have mad anxiety about leaving them alone for any period of time. She was open to helping us scent-train our dogs to learn her smell before coming over. And she was also open to both meeting us and doing a trial visit before we booked out a longer trip. On the day of the actual visit, she was SO communicative + helpful the entire time. Plenty of pictures and the pups who are wary of strangers, LOVE HER. We are so relieved to have found the perfect dog sitter for our babies and can rest-easy knowing they will be in her care while we’re gone. Book her!!!”
