“Absolutely LOVE Rae! She does such a great job with both our girls and they love when friends tag along for walks! Definitely super happy we found her after moving to JAX!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!”
“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: We have had dogs for most of our life, we are away from our lovely dogs so we will take care of your pets as if they were ours! We love pets more than we love people! Currently working from home and new to town, so we both have lots of free time to dedicate to your lovely pets and give them all the scratches, head pats and treats. We will treat your pets as our own, we miss them a lot so a lot of cuddles are in order! The apartment has a closed balcony with mosquito net, there's a lot of green areas to walk around and we love walking to get to know the neighborhood.
“Great communication and able to accommodate a last-minute request! Took pictures, mapped out my dog's walk, and as a bonus - hung with my cat before wrapping up. Definitely recommend!”
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”
About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets including guinea pigs, ferrets, dogs, & cats. I have experience cleaning bedding of small cages animals; kitty litter. Administering vitamins to dogs and cats. Bathing & flea removal (yes I’ve handpicked and combed fleas from fur). I’ve also trained my dog to sit, spin, shake my hand and go to bed. Logging into Rover gives me something productive to do on weekends. Plus I love nature and helping take care of animals. I enjoy every aspect. I only take in one pet at a time so your pet will get special attention. My community has a dog park and plenty room to roam around. Idouble check with clients to be sure their pets are flea and tick free for the safety of future clients, our pets and our home.
About: What sets me apart from others is a life long connection with animals and proven record of being safe, reliable, and patient. I've cared for dogs, cats, and plants for my whole life. I regularly help family, friends, and neighbors when they're away. I focus on making pets feel loved and secure while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I build my schedule around it. I’m currently taking online courses, which gives me open availability and the flexibility to meet each client’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or last-minute requests (prefer notice though), I’m able to adjust my routine so pets always get the time, attention, and care they deserve. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I keep their spaces clean, give them plenty of attention, and treat your home with respect. My goal is always safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.
About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

My first time using Brittany with my dog who has some anxieties and she was the perfect fit! He warmed up to her immediately on meet and greet and did great with her while we were out of town. I will definitely be utilizing her services again. I feel very comfortable with her.
Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of. It’s always scary letting someone take care of your furbabies for the first time and she made me feel so comfortably and at ease! Will definitely use her again.
I hired Jess to walk my two dogs, and she was wonderful! She even made the effort to come meet them ahead of time when my husband was home, which I really appreciated. The pups took to her right away. She showed up on time for both walks, sent photos, and made sure they had plenty of water afterward. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I would definitely hire her again!
Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!
