House Sitting Southsuide Estates

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!

“Illeana was great. She house sat and took good care of my babies while I was away on a trip. She was very respectful of my home, gave me tons of updates and my dogs loved her. I highly recommend her:)”

About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life, including caring for a senior dog and cat and a diabetic dog. I also have worked at a zoo for three years working with farm, exotic, and local wildlife. Most recently I worked at a boarding facility where owners leave their dogs, cats, and other animals to us when out of town. I currently work but have a flexible schedule to help out when needed. I have my own dogs right now so I always make sure to have enough time to play and let out in between what I am doing. I have experience with many different types of dogs personality and breed wise, meaning I understand all dogs require different care. I am patient and willing to follow any instructions regarding the ways owners take care of their dogs as long as it requires lots of love!

“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: My mission is to provide compassionate, dependable, and personalized care that allows pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving their families complete peace of mind. Every visit is built on kindness, trust, and treating each pet like a member of our own family. Currently living with a cat, but she will be behind closed door, in the master bedroom during visits or boarding. I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate regular daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting requests based on client needs and availability. For recurring dog walking clients, I typically schedule visits within consistent time windows (such as mid-morning or early afternoon), which helps maintain your pet’s routine and reduces stress. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I will coordinate a schedule in advance to ensure your pet receives reliable care and attention while you are away. I respond to messages promptly and will always communicate clearly if I am unavailable or if my schedule is full for a specific time period. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes or during walks, which allows pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort level before beginning care. I ensure all doors and entry points are secure at all times, and I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any chance of escape. I do not allow off-leash outdoor time unless explicitly approved by the owner and in a fully secure area. I maintain a clean environment by properly handling food areas, litter boxes, and any pet-related messes during each visit. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will immediately communicate any concerns to the owner. Trust and respect are very important to me. I treat every home with care, privacy, and professionalism, as if it were my own.

“Absolutely adore Hailey! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease. Hailey’s communication was fantastic, and the frequent updates and photos meant the world to me while I was away. She followed every instruction exactly as requested and went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy, comfortable, and loved. What impressed me most was how quickly Hailey connected with and cared for my pets as if they were her own. It’s rare to find someone who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely invested in your pets’ well-being. I came home to happy pets and complete peace of mind. Words honestly cannot express how grateful I am for Hailey and her services-I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for an outstanding pet sitter!”

“We're so grateful to Katherine for the care she provided to our senior dog, Angel. Throughout the long weekend we were sent timely feedback and pictures of Angel in various activities. Lately, taveling had become stressful due to Angel's age and health conditions but Katherine's care of her gave us the opportunity to enjoy our family trip with no worries.”

“This was our first house sitting with Rover and Nathan. Nathan always responded quickly in the app. He sent pictures while we were away. He played with Sadie and took good care of our property too. Will definitely use Nathan again. Sadie was very relaxed and happy when we returned home!”

“Colleen took great care of our 3 dogs and the house. We had a meet and greet ahead of time and reviewed the dogs' "personalities" and how a few particulars about their care should be handled. We left all of this in print for her review as well. She sent daily pics of the dogs relaxing or playing and several texts about getting to know them. She had even won our most skeptical/slow to warm dog over before we boarded our flight to leave. Highly recommend!”

Cathy O.

“I am amazed by how well Ruth took care of my cat. She was always communicating with tons of pictures. There was not one moment throughout my trip away from home that I had any concern because of how well Ruth took care of my fur baby. I would recommend her 10000%.”

About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

“Lovely to work with. Came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Would definitely use again!”

“Sierra took such good care of Sunshine! She sent pictures of him. She walked him as frequently as we requested. We will definitely be requesting her again!”

“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was available on short notice on a holiday weekend to watch my cat and my current foster dog (who only has three legs!) Kaitlyn went out of her way to go over the tripod's care and gave me updates on her improving mobility. She took great care of our pets and our home and I would use her again!”

About: I have dog sat and walked many dogs for different family’s for the past 15 years. As well as owning my own dogs! This included feeding, walking, medications, taking them out for the bathroom ect Pet care always cheers me up and is one of my favorite things to do and try to fit it into my weekly schedule as often as I can. I take the dog/dogs for a walk, feed, play (at park, beach or home.) jobs can also include putting them in crates for bed or any night time routine they have.
