About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.

About: I help to care for two dogs at home, one of which struggles with anxiety. I frequently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for and socialize animals. I’m fresh out of college and still looking for a job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. Reach out whenever! My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least twice a day, not counting regular potty breaks. If your pets have any more advanced needs or schedules, I’m happy to accommodate them.

About: I’ve had a lifelong bond with my furbabies, and one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my sweet dog, Eva, whom I brought home when she was 4 weeks old. I was fortunate to have her by my side for nearly 16 years, caring for her through every stage of her life and especially during her final year. She passed away on July 11th, just a month and a half shy of her 16th birthday, and I was grateful to be there for her through her final moments and lay her to rest. Her final year taught me so much about the patience, comfort, compassion, and extra care that senior furbabies need. I also have a 14-year-old cat Evander, who grew up alongside Eva and is grieving her loss, which has given me an even deeper understanding of how strongly animals bond with one another. I’m also comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and understand the importance of following their routines and instructions carefully. My furbabies have taught me that they truly are family, and I bring that same love, patience, attentiveness, and respect to every furbaby I have the privilege of caring for. I work from home, and because my remote job doesn’t require much of my day, I have a lot of flexibility and time to devote to the furbabies in my care. I adore having furbabies around and love being able to give them attention throughout the day. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, cuddle up next to me while I work, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to be there for them. I want every furbaby in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and like they’re part of the family. I want every furbaby to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re in my care. I let each furbaby dictate how they want to interact with me and never force attention or affection. I’m happy to provide as many walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and love as their parents would like. I’ll also follow all feeding instructions, daily routines, and medication schedules exactly as outlined by their parents. My goal is simply to care for each furbaby the way their family would and give them plenty of love and attention while they’re away.

About: My family has owned numerous of dogs in our large family. From my Uncle's Dobermann trio to my mother small Pomsky (Pomeranian and Husky mix) I've taken care of them all. The dogs in our family are tired of me before I've run out of steam to play or walk. I own five cats at the moment though one of them acts like a caine. My cats are friendly and mind their business when I overnight board my mother's Pomsky or my sister's Old lab mix girl for a few days. Cleaning after animals do not bother me. I daily change 6 cat litter boxes. When I'm left clear instructions the job is done efficiently every time. I work from home full time and I'm awake before the sun come up. I'm ready to get the job done early and my job is flexible about my breaks. I can visit your pets anytime designated as I have my own vehicle. I have a open yard that's not fenced in though only one neighbor with a dog behind a fence. I'm working to fence my yard in the future as I like the idea to give sitted dogs that open space. For now know your dog will become part of my workouts and I love to walk about 3-5 miles daily. At my home your dog will be welcome to chill with us though during the night will board in the spare room in or out of any provided crates.

About: Hi there! I have owned my own pups for my entire life; I believe that doggos are an important part to the family's emotional health and that they deserve the highest amount of care one could give! For my full time job I work in wilderness therapy taking adolescents out into the desert to find positive coping skills and an overall to enhance their quality of life. I consider myself to be compassionate and empathetic toward the needs of others and can easily sense when somebody (dogs includes!) Needs or wants something. I am responsible and have great time management skills. I will try to go above and beyond for you and your pup because they are totally worth the best care that I could give!

About: Hi everyone! 🐾 I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter and dog walker in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine areas. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, and pet parents can count on me to make sure their furry (and fluffy!) family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand the importance of meeting each animal’s unique needs, routines, and personality. Creating a calm, loving, and nurturing environment is always my top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I’m currently available on weekends, Tuesday and Thrusday all day , and with advance notice, I’m happy to discuss flexible or special arrangements whenever possible I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, walks, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. By treating every pet like part of my own family and respecting their individual needs, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and at ease while their parents are away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Spuds

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,732 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Spuds. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Spuds. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
