“I always prefer a sitter over a boarding facility because I hate the idea that my dogs will be locked up all day. Well, we could tell by how tuckered out they were that they had ALL THE FUN at Larry’s place! He sent pictures of them playing which really put my mind at ease while out of town and he had their things all ready to go at pick up. Thank you, Larry! Bowser and Peaches say thanks too!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience with Kelly! I can’t say enough great things about Kelly! She took care of my dog for two weeks while I was out of town, and it was honestly the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had. From the very first message, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. Throughout the entire stay, Kelly sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how my pup was doing — from days playing in the barn and updates on behavior and feeding, to the adorable moments that made us smile every day. It was so reassuring to know my dog was not only safe but truly LOVED and cared for. When I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised and well-loved. Kelly even went above and beyond by tidying up and washing my dog’s things to be returned nice and fresh for our return home. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to animals, Kelly is the one! I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future — and I can’t recommend her highly enough. 🐾💛”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing, our doggies were very happy 😊. We received daily updates and pictures, which helps when you're missing them. Her kids were even more amazing with them ❤️.”
“Shannon took great care of our sweet Sophie!! Appreciated the updates she gave and knowing that Sophie was having a wonderful time with her, other doggy friends, and her family.”
“Tannia and Chris were great taking care of Ollie. They sent photos throughout the days showing how content he was. I would definitely recommend Tannia watching your fur babies when you can’t take them along.”
“Renee is so loving and attentive to our dogs! This was our first time leaving them overnight…we felt totally comfortable, received pics and updates, and found happy, contented dogs in the morning. She and her doodle will be our go-to from now on. Thank you, Renee!”
“Our dog spent a week with Linda and the two of them fell in love with each other! Linda was so kind and caring and followed though with all our requests for our very spoiled baby. She even sent us pictures of the two of them together. We'll definitely have her take care of our dog in the future.”
“We love Eboni. She is a trusted person and we feel comfortable leaving our boy with her. We have booked multiple times and feel at ease. She sends updates and pics and loves on our Buddy!”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“My pup, Goose, is a rescue that I got from a hoarding situation back in November 2021. I think in the time I've had him, I've left him twice with people who I trusted but didn't live in the home. This is the first time I've ever had to leave him with someone he's never met so I was super nervous. Patti did not disappoint at all! She sent me frequent updates on how Goose was adjusting and continued to send pictures all weekend. We definitely will be using Patti again!”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Andrew and Kaitlyn are amazing! They did a fantastic job watching Frankie all weekend! They were super reliable and kept me updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Frankie was clearly well cared for and happy. Pancake was so sweet with Frankie! We’ll absolutely be using them again—highly recommend!!!”
“We enjoy working with Yekaterina! She's always sending pictures and updates. We can tell our little Rooney feels right at home. She takes good care of him!”
“Tracy is the best! She took such good care of my dog, Will, he thinks he was at doggie camp! He had the run of the yard, got along well with other dogs, played his favorite games, took long walks. Excellent communication. Tracy sent frequent updates and photos, let me know how he was doing everyday. I had an extended unexpected travel delay, and Tracy was just great! I highly recommend her, and I definitely hope she’ll be able to take care of my Will the next time I travel.”
“Highly recommend Marlena! She was great about making my BIG babies feel comfortable (my female has really bad separation anxiety & immediately connected with Marlena!) She was great about sending updates and very communicative, it was so nice to leave my pups (without worry) for a weekend out of town! We will definitely be booking with Marlena & Phil again! Thanks so much for loving my babies & making them feel safe.”
“Kaitland and her family gave love and Wonderful care to my dog. Mila , my dog looked happy, calm, and well taking care of when I picked her up. This made me feel so great. Thank you Kaitland and your family!!”
“I absolutely love Megan she really took care of my baby girl Kelly Ro.She made sure she was comfortable and had my worries at ease,I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU NEED A 5 Star ⭐️ SITTER LOOK NO MORE.”

“Nicole was polite, friendly, and professional. She inquired about the services we were looking for since it was our first time using Rover. We told here what we needed and she confirmed that she would be able to those tasks and even ones we had not considered. She had an immediate rapport with our pets and it showed when she provided reports about her visits. We give Nicole our highest recommendation.”
“Lauren was fantastic! Very reliable, communicative, and took great care of our cat. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I have been taking care of cats for over 10 years, previously having two cats myself and cat sitting for multiple beloved clients! I have also volunteered at the cat rescue Cats Angels, and have experience fostering stray cats and kittens until they find their forever home.
“Dean was super reliable and took great care of out 2 furry babies like his own. He even reset our circuit breakers that went off after a severe storm came through (thanks so much for saving our food!). Whenever we go out of town again, we will be seeking out his services! 5 stars doesn't seem enough.”
“Carrie must also be a cat whisperer. My cat is usually skittish around people she is unfamiliar with. BUT Carrie posted pictures of her out and about when she dropped in. Would definitely recommend ROVER.COM and Carrie S as a caretaker!!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention throughout the day, so they won’t spend long periods alone. I plan my schedule around each booking to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I believe consistency helps dogs feel comfortable, especially when they’re away from home, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.
“Beth did great with our kitty Cleo while we were away. We loved the photos and updates. Cleo easily warmed up to her and she fulfilled all of her needs while we were gone. Thanks Beth!”

About: My dogs and I have been through AKC certified obedience training I'm experienced in walking multiple dogs at a time Can housesit and care for dogs with special needs Providing positive reinforcement and tasty bribes is my main method of gaining trust with a new dog friend. I'm open to meeting and discussing all forms of service ahead of time I have a flexible part time job that is generally from 9 - 4 Monday through Friday. These times are flexible so if you have a question about a particular day feel free to ask My 2 dogs and I walk almost everyday around our neighborhood just to get some adventure and smell some new fire hydrants. My house has a wood 6' privacy fence around the backyard and I have time to them out 5 or 6 times a day for bathroom breaks or to just run around an play. My dogs started being crate trained as a puppy but as they have grown older and more trusty we use them less and less. I use a lot of positive reinforcement and treat training to bond and build rapport. I feel comfortable around dogs of all shapes and sizes and would prefer to take care of new dogs in their home environment first. My dogs: I have a 6 year old 60lb female Portuguese water dog -- She's a big napper, cuddler and loves cats. My 3 year old, 30lb, male terrier mix is the feisty play pal that keeps everyone entertained.
About: I have experience caring for neighbors’ cats while they are out of town, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving cats patience and attention based on their individual personalities.
About: Hi!! My name is Ella! I graduated from Clemson University this past spring and moved to Fernandina recently! I love all animals and have always had dogs growing up. (Labrador Retrievers and Boykin Spaniels) I am experienced with caring for animals of all ages and am dedicated to making sure each pet feels loved and taken care of in their own home. I have cared for animals ranging from small poodle mixes of about 8 pounds to large golden doodles that weigh 80 pounds. I can’t wait to meet your pets! The dogs in my pictures are either the ones I have grown up with or the ones I have recently taken care of. I currently have a part time job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I will be available for check-ins, walks and overall care. I have the most availability in mornings and afternoons! I will not be doing overnight stays at my own residence but will be diligent, caring and attentive in taking care of pets in their own homes!
About: I have had pets since I was a small child. I am a nurse by career and I love caring for and being around animals. I am a registered nurse and have come to realize I would love to use my skills to care for the pets of humans in your home. I will come to your home and care for and perform pet care as you request and how you are accustomed to caring for your pet.
About: Hi, I’m Madison and I’m 24 years old. I’ve had pets my entire life, so I’m used to potty breaks, dog walking, feisty kitties, playing with pets, cleaning up after them, keeping them entertained, and everything else to do with the everyday tasks of caring for and dealing with pets. I’m a hard worker, have a very flexible schedule, and love all types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I’m currently taking a veterinary assistant course at college, and aim to start a career working with animals. There have been multiple times I’ve found dogs roaming in my neighborhood and helped return them to their owner. I’ve even helped a stray kitten find a good home! I’m very passionate about animals and will show yours all the love, attention, and care it deserves. Me and my boyfriend have one dog that we take care of as if he was our own child, so my daily pet care routine is pretty generous. Of course our dog is fed twice a day, walked daily, and given a lot of love. And aside from my boyfriend, I have two other roommates who also have dogs, so there’s always some puppy playtime happening If I were to care for another dog in my home, I’d definitely be paying attention to the dog’s behavior to see how comfortable he is in the new environment, and with meeting the dogs in my house. If he were not comfortable, or if the dogs were to not get along, I’d of course separate them. I’d most likely hang out with the dog in our spare bedroom to make him more comfortable. On the other hand, if I were to care for a dog in his home, I’d try to follow his every day routine as best as I could to make him as comfortable and happy as possible

“Renee was an amazing sitter for our pup! She was kind, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. A great bonus was that her dog was nice playmate, which kept our pup happy and entertained. She sent photos and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We also ended up needing a little extra time for pickup, and Renee was incredibly accommodating and flexible. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
“Larry was amazing. It’s easy to tell that he loves dogs and has a kind way of describing dogs who naught be a little “unique “. Our dogs really enjoyed time with him and came home exhausted, just like after a great vacation. Grateful to have found him.”
“I just love Graceann...and so do our pups! They love going to see Graceann and the rest of the family. And how fun that the beach is just right there for a great walk! I also love how knowledgeable Graceann is about dog behavior and her willingness to help train our stubborn terrier 2 year old when he comes for daycare!”
“this was Brennan's first day care & Linda was wonderful, loving & caring. she sent pics & a report on how she was doing during the day. Brennan was very calm when she got home. our shelter pup is a shy girl, this experience was wonderful for her. highly recommend Linda to care for your pet🐕”
“Eboni is fantastic. It's always hard to leave your pup with someone new, but she made us feel very comfortable. Ramsey is a very snuggly dog that loves attention and he was very well cared for. Eboni sent us pictures and an update very early in his stay to let us know how he was settling in, which instantly calmed our nerves. She was super responsive and kind when answering all of our questions. We are so happy we found her and Ramsey will absolutely be back!”
“Here for the weekend and wanted our boy to go have fun and meet new friends. Megan took great care of our boy, giving him treats, cuddle time on the couch watching tv, and was a perfect overall experience couldn't be happier! Will be back in Jacksonville on more work outings and will definitely bring him back!”
“Tracy and her husband were absolutely amazing. This was our first time using river and I could be happier. My initial message was responded to within minutes, she sent photo and video updates throughout the day, and was great at initiating the initial interaction between our pups and hers. One of my dogs is pretty timid around new people and by the end of the day, she was so comfortable with Tracy! We are so thankful they were available for this last minute booking and will be returning if we are ever in need of a sitter in the area again.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. Im currently unemployed and have a great support system (friends and spouse who LOVE dogs.) Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. The only times im gone are to do errands. Which isnt more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days :). Your pets safety and quality of care is very important to me. Just to describe some of the perks of boarding with me. I have a large yard thats fenced in. A spare bedroom that theyll sleep in/ or be crated in. Very spacious home they can roam freely. Theyre allowed on furniture. Can socialize with my two loving sweet dogs that are trained. Including a safe neighborhood for walks. If pet parent is not comfortable with their pup being around my pets. Ill ensure they remain seperated, as i have the ability to do so with dog gates in the home, if need be. I also have cameras to always keep an eye out (although physically id be present).
“Thomas & Cara are friendly and received Marly with open arms, She did well with their dog and she was pleasant according to Cara. Photos included for a short visit today. I will not have hesitate rebooking with this couple in the future.”
“This was my first time being away from my sweet girl since bringing her home. We booked a one day doggy daycare with Honey as a trial before her upcoming weekend stay, so Mila could get comfortable and adjust. Honey was wonderful and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. Mila came home happy and completely tuckered out from all the fun she had! 🐶🐾🎀”
“Wendy was so great with Dustin! She kept me updated with pictures all day. Great communication and highly recommend! I will definitely be using her for my coming up trip! Thanks for taking good care of my Dusty!”

“So I just want to say that Dean goes above and beyond to make my puppies happy. I was a little cautious about having someone come into my house while no one is home but from the second he stepped out of his truck I felt like my house and my pups would be safe. He’s great about working with your schedule and ultimately just wants your pups to get the love and playtime they deserve. So happy we found you, Dean!! He also sends me a picture of my dogs like every time he goes there which makes me so happy.”

I am currently working part time and my only set hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 8am to 12pm, outside of those hours my time is free to be spent with your pets! I am very active and love to go for walks or runs if that is something your pup would like to join me in (usually in the early morning or evenings to avoid that Florida heat!). I have reliable transportation and love to spend time petting, playing, and just lounging around with any animal. I am able to care for pets in their home however needed! I have experience with a variety of medical needs and activity levels, and can do frequent visits, park outings, or stay in your home if that’s what you and your pet are most comfortable with.

I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my approach based on what makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. Whether your dog enjoys lots of social interaction or prefers space and slower introductions, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also have a Golden Retriever of my own and personally use Rover for my own dog, so I truly understand the importance of trust, communication, and peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. No instructions or routines are ever “too much” for me because I know every dog is different and what works for one may not work for another. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while also making you feel confident while you’re away. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking so I can better understand your dog’s routine, personality, and needs while also making sure we’re a great fit for each other. I believe communication and consistency are extremely important when caring for someone’s pet. My partner and I provide care together, which allows for added flexibility and availability. My partner stays home full time while I work, and on weekends, holidays, and after 5 PM, both of us are available to help care for the dogs. We do ask that meet and greets include both of us so we can fully understand your expectations and ensure your dog is comfortable with everyone involved in their care. I work weekly but I am off on weekends and holidays. I am home by 3PM from work and come home during my lunch. I leave for work at 7:30am. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly golden retriever. I live in a neighborhood that is great for long walks and there is a dog park nearby and many open fields.
About: I’ve taken care of my Boston terrier for five years and taught him potty training. I’ve also walked neighbors dogs in my local neighborhood and truly enjoy giving each pet love, attention and care. I’m currently a part-time student with a flexible schedule, so I can care for your pup mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m available Monday through Sunday and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of love, belly rubs, and walks. I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in every environment.
“Shayne was an absolute lifesaver for us!! She came over and walked our dogs three different times on the weekend. We loved the communication she sent and the pictures!! Because of her we were able to enjoy a very special family wedding. Words can’t express how much our heart appreciated her time!!”
About: I am originally from Germany and been around dogs most of my life. If you are back in the office or just gone away from home and in need of someone to walk your pets during the day, let them outside or just play and cuddle with them I am the right person. I have a Belgium Malinois Mix , her name is Brandy and a rescue pit bull name Stanley. Due to Brandy I am very experienced with high energy dogs. Stanley is more mellow and just likes kisses and hugs all day, but that's fine, too !! Your fur baby will be in good hands with me either way. My dogs are part of my family and I even cook for them, I do admit both are very spoiled fur babies. I am looking forward meeting you and your pup(s) because they will be spoiled by me, too. Thank you for choosing my service !! I can walk your dog or dogs any day of the week starting at 7 am until 7 pm in the evening including weekends or holidays I do not offer in home pet care service at the moment. We are renting our house therefore is not service I can provide to clients

About: ➖ About Me ➖ Hello, my name is Hailey and I love all pets of all breeds, sizes, and age. With years of hands-on experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet care beyond just sitting. I’ve worked with Rover in multiple states, fostered dogs throughout college, and grew up caring for dogs of all breeds and ages. While my current pets are cats, my love for dogs hasn’t changed—I just focus on in-home care to give them the best experience in their own space. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and high-energy breeds. Whether your dog needs structured walks, extra patience, or just lots of love and attention, I tailor my care to their unique needs. My goal is to provide a stress-free, fun, and loving experience for both pets and owners! ➖ About My Services ➖ My goal is to provide personalized care while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, cuddling, or mental stimulation, I ensure they get the attention and care they need. I’m experienced with all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and care. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities! ➖ What To Expect From Pet Sitting ➖ To ensure the best care for your pet, I ask that owners provide all necessary supplies and information before the booking. This helps keep your pet comfortable and allows me to stick as closely as possible to their routine. Meet & Greet: Before the first pet-sitting visit, I always schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet. This allows us to go over care instructions, discuss expectations, and make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. It’s also a great time to ask any questions! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to look after your pet I cannot wait to meet them! ➖ Schedule ➖ My current schedule for the summer is currently open with my current routine there should be no interference and I am looking forward to hearing from you! ➖ Care ➖ I will follow as closely to your regular routine as possible. In my home there are no current pets so your pet will receive sole attention with no distractions there is a dog park located at my home and another 0.4 miles away as well if they enjoy walking/running and playing with other dogs.
About: Hi, I’m Madison and I’m 24 years old. I’ve had pets my entire life, so I’m used to potty breaks, dog walking, feisty kitties, playing with pets, cleaning up after them, keeping them entertained, and everything else to do with the everyday tasks of caring for and dealing with pets. I’m a hard worker, have a very flexible schedule, and love all types of animals, especially dogs and cats. I’m currently taking a veterinary assistant course at college, and aim to start a career working with animals. There have been multiple times I’ve found dogs roaming in my neighborhood and helped return them to their owner. I’ve even helped a stray kitten find a good home! I’m very passionate about animals and will show yours all the love, attention, and care it deserves. Me and my boyfriend have one dog that we take care of as if he was our own child, so my daily pet care routine is pretty generous. Of course our dog is fed twice a day, walked daily, and given a lot of love. And aside from my boyfriend, I have two other roommates who also have dogs, so there’s always some puppy playtime happening If I were to care for another dog in my home, I’d definitely be paying attention to the dog’s behavior to see how comfortable he is in the new environment, and with meeting the dogs in my house. If he were not comfortable, or if the dogs were to not get along, I’d of course separate them. I’d most likely hang out with the dog in our spare bedroom to make him more comfortable. On the other hand, if I were to care for a dog in his home, I’d try to follow his every day routine as best as I could to make him as comfortable and happy as possible

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Experience with Kelly! I can’t say enough great things about Kelly! She took care of my dog for two weeks while I was out of town, and it was honestly the best dog-sitting experience I’ve ever had. From the very first message, she was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative. Throughout the entire stay, Kelly sent regular updates, photos, and little notes about how my pup was doing — from days playing in the barn and updates on behavior and feeding, to the adorable moments that made us smile every day. It was so reassuring to know my dog was not only safe but truly LOVED and cared for. When I came home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-exercised and well-loved. Kelly even went above and beyond by tidying up and washing my dog’s things to be returned nice and fresh for our return home. If you’re looking for someone responsible, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to animals, Kelly is the one! I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future — and I can’t recommend her highly enough. 🐾💛”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing, our doggies were very happy 😊. We received daily updates and pictures, which helps when you're missing them. Her kids were even more amazing with them ❤️.”

“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Tracy is the best! She took such good care of my dog, Will, he thinks he was at doggie camp! He had the run of the yard, got along well with other dogs, played his favorite games, took long walks. Excellent communication. Tracy sent frequent updates and photos, let me know how he was doing everyday. I had an extended unexpected travel delay, and Tracy was just great! I highly recommend her, and I definitely hope she’ll be able to take care of my Will the next time I travel.”
“Highly recommend Marlena! She was great about making my BIG babies feel comfortable (my female has really bad separation anxiety & immediately connected with Marlena!)

Thanks so much for loving my babies & making them feel safe.”
