About: Full Time Realtor and Sitter 🐶 Always the one who took care of animals when family and friends would go out of town. Always loved anything to do with animals zoo, farm tours etc. I’m very graceful an patient :) I currently work part time as a server at a restaurant here in mandarin only for a few hours some days so I’m always home.love going on walks with my husband so walks are often an normal in our home! I live an a gated apartment with a fenced porch where our animals watch nature in peace. Safety is first so I always have an eye on my animals :)
“Michelle did an amazing job taking care of our two furbabies. She sent us updates along the week (with pictures) of how our babies were doing. In addition, she was able to water our plants and bring the mail in. The house was in order when we returned and our babies were well taken care of. Thanks so much for all you did Michelle! We were able to have a wonderful vacation away knowing our babies were in good hands. Fantastic service! Highly recommend. Will use again very soon! THANK YOU!!!”

“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our sweet pup. She communicated well and gave us all the updates. She took care of our home and was so patient as we worked through some issues with our air conditioner as well. We would let her puppy sit again and again(:”


“Kaitlyn stayed at our home with our two dogs for a long weekend and we were very pleased. At the meet and greet she asked good questions and sent messages while we were away. We returned home to a clean place and happy dogs. Will use her again.”

“Laura was great! She took great care of my dog and 4 cats. Laura was responsive and polite and seems to really love animals. She did everything I asked and sent pictures and updates multiple times per day. Highly recommend.”

“Lexi was super helpful, taking on a last minute request for my spoiled little chiweenie. I came to a happy pup and my house just as a left it. I would definitely call Lexi again!”

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!
“Kelly is absolutely amazing! She arrived on time and kept in contact with me through out her stay. My dog loved her as well! I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting.”

“Teresa took incredibly great care of our puppy! She communicated with us daily, multiple times per day with pictures and updates on our pup. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“Sarah did a wonderful job caring for Bart and Poppy for nearly two weeks in our home. She communicated and sent pictures regularly and also managed our plants. We feel confident and trust that she would demonstrate the same level of professionalism with your pets and home. We plan to use Sarah again and give her a very high recommendation. Thank you Sarah!”

“Every time Sam watches our pets and house is a great experience. Everything is very well taken care of and we receive regular updates. We will definitely use Sam again and would recommend him to anyone!”

“Lynn was great and we’d ask her back in a heartbeat! Our two dogs had a great weekend with Lynn — they clearly had gotten lots of pets and attention while we were out. Thanks again!”

“Scott was absolutely wonderful both with our Amos, and our home. We got plants of photos and updates for Amos’ activity and daily happenings, and Scott was quick to respond if ever we needed anything. Scott must be a dog whisperer of sorts, because our Amos had zero issues with us leaving (he ate, did not pace at all, settled and napped per usual, and slept all night, and even cuddled with Scott!).. which is exactly what we were hoping for! We 100% would recommend Scott and will be relying on him again for any of our house/pet sitting needs.”

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

“Gracie & Bo loved spending time with Jessica. It is very reassuring to know that our kids were very well cared for and loved while we were gone. We have even booked her for another stay already. We can’t thank you enough Jessica. We loved getting the pictures as well.”

“Sidnee is amazing! I have sincerely appreciated the attention and care that my two Frenchies require that Sidnee provided while I was traveling! I trust Sidnee in my home and with my dogs. She is officially my “go-to” sitter. Highly recommend her services!”

“Cassandra did a nice job of sharing photos along the way and looks like Dexter warmed up to her! Dexter can be finicky and Cassandra had a break through;) The dogs were very happy when we got home and all is good. Will definitely use Cassandra again.”

“On time, dependable, and professional!! Again, we are so fortunate to have such a great team taking care of our Fig. He is quite a challenge but we can be comfortable with going out; we know he is in capable hands. Thank you!”

“Alison is very prompt and reliable. She updated us with pictures of our pet. She does a remarkable job! Will definitely use her many times more. Give her a shot. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Wonderful job as usual!! I was desperate and needed a dog sitter last minute and she was able to stay with our pups overnight. They were happy as could be when we got home! Thank you Lauren!!”

Carissa was a very knowledgeable professional sitter. She shared pics and information about the dogs on a regular basis. She kept us informed about how they were doing and they seemed very happy. We appreciate everything she did. We will be calling her everything we need a sitter. The dogs also seemed to love her and we're happy with her services.

Jessica is outstanding! She stayed in our home with our 2 dogs. She was very good about communicating and sending pictures daily. It really relieved any anxiety we felt at having to leave our “kids” for an extended period of time. The house was left in PERFECT order and the pups were well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Lauren took such great care of our crew! We were a little anxious leaving our cats and dogs overnight for the first time and Lauren made us feel at ease. When we returned home our house was left exactly as we left it. Additionally, some of our most shy cats came out to see her which is so rare for them! We are so happy to have found Lauren and look forward to having her take care of our pets in the future

If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!!! ✨ Brioni went over and above for us and Milly. She sent updates the entire time we were gone. Played and loved on her a lot. She even gave her a bath without us asking because Milly got a little dirty. To top it all she left us the sweetest note and picture of Milly in a frame!! Can't recommend Brioni enough! We will be using her again for sure!! ❤️

Casey is amazing! We needed a sitter for our new puppy and our senior dog last minute and she provided nothing but the best care. Our routine was followed to the tee and we came home to happy doggos. She sent pictures and kept us updated - such a win since this our first time using rover and leaving our fur babies with someone else. She is a top notch sitter!

Ana was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She was incredibly diligent, kind, and attentive, and it was clear she truly cared about my dog’s comfort and well being. She stayed at my home, kept everything tidy. Knowing my dog was in such loving and responsible hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring sitter. I would happily book her again!
This is the third time we have hired Lexi in the last six weeks.... and there is a reason she has become our "go-to" sitter -- our kitties love her, and she does a great job. There is not much we can say that has not already been written in prior reviews -- we are very happy having Lexi take care of our home and our cats while we are out of town. :-)
Milinda, your professionalism & love for animals shine brightly! Thank you for caring for our dogs and cat as if they were your own! The fact that you put extra TLC into our Pug’s eye situation shows what an exemplary human you are! The house was left exactly as you found, & that is much appreciated! You’re responsible, trustworthy, communicative, & very caring! We can’t wait to utilize your services again! THANK YOU GENUINELY!

Andrea was great!!! She kept in contact with us frequently while we were gone with pics and videos. One of my dogs is extremely she and she took to Andrea quickly. She has such a good energy that she won her heart right away. I felt so comfortable knowing that my Charlotte liked her. We plan on a week long trip next year and will definitely book Andrea again!!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Was nervous to leave my cranky old floof but she was so well taken care of and Kristin kept me updated with lots of pics and great communication about meds and food!! Last minute booking and it couldn’t have gone better!! Can’t recommend highly enough! I’m an overly anxious dog mom and Kristin just did such a fantastic job with my sweet girl and with communicating everything, I couldn’t be happier!!! 🙌 Would absolutely book again!!!
Leah was AMAZING with our dogs. She gave us updates with them and gave them so much love. I can tell she’s a dog person because of the way the dogs act with her and the love and compassion she shows them. I would recommend Leah 10/10 and will use her at every possible dog sitting opportunity we have!
