“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”

“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use again!!!”

“So grateful to have Stevens support when we went out of town for the holiday. We forgot to book in advance and Steven was available right away, same day, even made time to stop in and introduce himself to our dogs before we left. Looking forward to having him sit our doggies again! 🐕💜💕”

“Kristie watched our two cats and two dogs overnight and was very communicative. She sent photos and updates and clarified instructions for my high needs 16 year old shih tzu. We appreciate all the care and attention to detail!”
“Best sitter! We love how much time she spends at our home with our dogs. It’s hard trusting someone to watch your dogs but we have no issues with Cathryn and really appreciate her!!”

“Kelly was fantastic!! Waylen and Jax had the best time and Kelly took great care of them. Kelly also took awesome care of our house and even cleaned the sheets and remade the bed before leaving. Kelly is awesome, responsive, and made our trip stress free! 10/10 recommend”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
About: I am currently on a pre veterinarian track at Jacksonville University. I have always loved working with animals from the zoo to vet clinics to my own animals. I have always loved to spend time with animals which is why I have decided to sign up for rover. I would love to express my passion and help others have complete comfort when leaving their furry friend. I want my clients to know they’re with someone who is passionate & experienced with all that is needed for their pets care. At home I have 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bunnies, and 2 guinea pigs! Everyday I experience hands on experience with pets feeding, cleaning, walking, and best of all giving them lots of love! At my clients home I make sure I go above and beyond to care for your pets! I will always be sure to make sure I clean up any mess, give your animal lots of love and comfort, and make sure all their energy is out whether that is throwing the ball outside, walks, or runs!
“Britney took very good care of my three dogs and sent me daily photos and text messages to let me know how they were doing. I will forsure use her again for any up coming trips in the future.”


“Absolutely Wonderful!! I think our puppies were sad to see us return! Sarah was excellent! Played with our high energy border collies for a solid week and kept us in the loop about how they were all doing. We highly recommend Sarah and hope she can take care of our dogs again- I know our dogs hope so too!”

About: Hello, my name is Breanna. I live in Jacksonville, Florida, near San Marco area. I am a dog lover and a cat enthusiast, and will love to take care of yours. I have previously worked in a veterinarian clinic/dog groomers. I have learned a lot from my employment there. I have in the past owned many dogs and lived a few cats. I also sat with Rover from 2018-2020. For right now my schedule is pretty open. I am available 11 am through 8pm throughout the whole week. I will keep my calendar updated regularly. In addition to any written or spoken rules given by owner. I will keep safe practices with your pet such as keeping up with daily routine, making sure their environment is safe. As well with consistent monitoring.
About: i’ve always had pets growing up, cats, dogs, fish, bunny’s hamsters, etc. now i am petless and would love to give your pet attention and lovings I work full time and am available before work, before 8am and after 5pm Monday through Friday. i am available all day on the weekends I live in an apartment but i am happy to provide services at your home, in an environment your pet is familiar and comfortable in!
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Very appreciative of Evan stepping in to sit for our dog and cats. He was very communicative and took great care of our four footed family. Would highly recommend Evan.”

About: I have been walking and sitting dogs and cats for over eight years now, and have had dogs of my own since I was a toddler! In addition, I work for the Jacksonville Humane Society; cats and dogs are my jam! A pet-care pro, I have walked and sat for both puppies and senior dogs from big to small. I am currently a part-time worker, so I have plenty of time for furry friend action! I am available both weekdays and weekends--anytime you need! I am very experienced at adapting to a pet owner's environment, and understanding their routines. I shape my work and actions to what suits you best, making sure to adhere to any requests, and respecting your space.
About: I’ve loved animals since I can remember! I’ve rescued every pet imaginable at one point or another! I’ve volunteered at FCNMHP for over 10 years and I’m very active in finding every pet a forever home! I’ve worked at Publix for over 21 years and I am currently a manager on the south side of Jacksonville. I have a flexible schedule throughout the day and I’m able to take breaks when needed. I am free most evening during the week and weekend. I’ve never met an animal that I didn’t fall in love with! Every animal deserves a full bowl of food and water, lots of pets, an unconditional love. There’s no such thing as an ending to the game of Fetch!
“Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She was an easy choice for me - she communicated professionally, was very cheery at our meet and greet, and listened intently to every detail I shared about my cats. She cared for my cats like they were her own! I highly recommend her!”


“Johana was great with my Yuki. Yuki needs her medicine twice per day, early in the morning and in the evening and Johana was able to make sure she was taken care of. It's not easy for me to trust that Yuki is being taken care of, but Johana did a great job and sent me notes to know that she was ok and happy and safe. She went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate how nice and supportive she is.”

“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”

Evan is a spectacular rover! He took such amazing care of our dogs. One of our dogs is very shy and unsure around new people and barks a ton but he warmed up very quickly to Evan during the meet and greet due largely to Evan’s calm demeanor and great way with animals. He took amazing care of our house and even helped us fix an issue with our pool pump leak while we were away. We are so glad to have found Evan and look forward to his next visit with our pups!

Absolutely Wonderful!! I think our puppies were sad to see us return! Sarah was excellent! Played with our high energy border collies for a solid week and kept us in the loop about how they were all doing. We highly recommend Sarah and hope she can take care of our dogs again- I know our dogs hope so too!
Maverick was amazing with our two Shibas. He was super responsive, respectful of our property, and great with the boys. Our fur babies can be quirky and he followed all of our instructions. The boys were happy and healthy when we got home. I think he really treated them well and we will absolutely book with him if the need ever arises again!

Bayli was absolutely amazing watching our two dogs over the weekend! She was incredibly communicative and responsive the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent tons of pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. She also took great care of our home and kept everything clean and in order, which we really appreciated coming back home to. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and owners feel comfortable. We would 100% trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!

MAISY IS WONDERFUL! Honestly can’t say enough great things about my experience. Since it was my first time using Rover I was a bit nervous but she exceeded my expectations. She communicated constantly, sent me photos and had no issue sleeping on my couch with him (he’s a cuddler and needs the love). Also spent time real quality time with him outside, giving him his favorite bones and giving him lots of head scratches! I was skeptical because she only had one review at the time but it’s clear that experience was due to negligence from the owner who deliberately told lies. Dont be fooled, Maisy is an amazing dog sitter and human being. Thank you Maisy!

Lyndsay is amazing!! She took care of our Sigi as if she was her own. She also stayed the night and made sure she was comfortable and took very good care of our house. Lyndsay is reliable and prompt in her communication and took care with medication and supplement instructions. We will be using her again soon and highly recommend her!!! Thank you again Lyndsay for putting our minds at ease while we were away.

Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.

This was the second time Jess stayed over to watch our pup, and once again she was great. She was punctual, communicated promptly throughout, and confirmed details earlier in the week since the stay had been planned for about a month. She left our home exactly as she found it and sent photos that clearly showed our baby was happy and well cared for. Thanks again, Jess!
