“Rivet sure did enjoy his time with Larry and Becki. Rivet's comfort level is better with each stay over and we greatly appreciate the love and care he receives. Makes our vacation stress free. Thanks again and happy holidays to you and your family.”
“We've known Kelly for over 9 years, we knew our fur kids would be in great hands staying with her. She treated Lakota and Koa as if they were her own pets. Lakota's allergies flared up while she was staying with Kelly, Kelly instinctively treated her issues and made us aware of what was happening. The kids will be going back for more farm vacations in the future, in fact their next stay is only weeks away.”
“Renee is a lifesaver! We brought our dog to the beach for her first time and learned she didn’t want to be left alone in our condo. We had a tour and activities planned so we quickly started searching and messaged Renee on Rover and she responded within minutes. She agreed to dog sit Poppy at her home on very short notice allowing us to keep our plans for the weekend. She kept us updated frequently by sending pics and videos and taking such great care of our dog. I highly recommend Renee for any pet sitting needs and being so accommodating and thoughtful, we really appreciate her!”
“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!”
“Tannia and Chris are by far the best sitters I have ever had! My dog doesn't typically do well with other pups, but their dog Domino is an angel and they get along beautifully. They also had no problem handling my older dog's many medications. Tannia is extremely responsive and sends so many cute pictures, which really helps put my mind at ease when traveling.”
“This is Churro’s second time with Linda and it was a great time again! She is so patient and caring with him and he loves cuddling with her! We are looking forward to him spending time with her again!”
“I would definitely recommend Patti to any pet parent that wants their fur baby taken care of like they were family. Patti had great follow up & made sure I had plenty of photos and videos of my boy Flex. She made sure to communicate anything he needed promptly. Top of my list if/when I need someone to watch him in the future.”
“Wendy is simply WONDERFUL! 🤩 Not only she cared for our Saoirse like it was her own, but communication with her was so easy and quick. Considering how anxious and skittish Saoirse can be, she came back to us happy and relaxed. The pics Wendy sent us daily were the best! 😍 I used to foster dogs years ago, and through my conversations with Wendy, I could tell she knows dogs extremely well! She’s very caring, kind and compassionate, and I’d definitely leave my Saoirse with her again! Thank you, Wendy! ❤️”
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.
“Chief loved his time with Andrew and Kaitlyn. It's such a relief to know you are leaving your pet (in our case an older one) in good hands. We would love to have them watch Chief again.”
“Our pup, Hazel, always loves going to Mrs. Tracy's! She always seems a little sad to leave once she's back home - which is the best feeling because we know she's loved and well taken care of while we're away!”
“This was our first time to use a petsitter for our dog and our Rosie was not only taken care of, but also pampered and spoiled by our petsitter Debbie, she kept us informed and updated with photos and text la that gave us a piece of mind, I will absolutely use this service again. TY!”
“Yekaterina is the BEST! I always feel comfortable having our fur baby stay with her when we travel. She is so warm and I can tell she just loves our little Ivy 🐕”
“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.”
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
“Candace and Thomas were so great! Sent so many updates with photos that made me feel totally confident Tilly was in great care :) would love for them to watch her again in the future!”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“They were so sweet and took great care of our little guy! Sent pictures and updates of walks -will definitely be our go to sitters if they are available! Thank you so much :)”

“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.”
“Carrie was so great with my Maggie cat that when I returned from my trip, think she was disappointed that I wasn’t Carrie! Truly a lover of pets. She sent me updates and fabulous photos of Maggie. Excellent, I highly recommend Carrie”

About: My childhood cat developed several health issues in her senior years (Kidney Disease, Arthritis, UTIs), and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats often need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable interacting with both outgoing and more reserved feline personalities. I understand every cat has their comfort level, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe.
“Amazing fur baby sitter! She went above and beyond to make my kitty cats feel better about me being away for so long with cleaning their messes and having quality playtime. Even one that hides came out to play.”
“There aren’t enough wonderful words to express how thrilled we are that Trinity came into our lives! I had stress-free travel because I knew my kitties were taken care of so well. A true gem of a human being!”

“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.”
“Atlas had so much fun with Nhi! She was flexible and communicated with me every step of the way! She also got some amazing pictures of my Atlas! If I’m ever in Jacksonville in the future, I’m sure Atlas would love to hangout with her again!”
“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!”
“Linda was OUTSTANDING...providing last-minute care for my dachshund mix while I was visiting the island for family vacation. She responded promptly, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was very accommodating to our travel schedule. She is located a short distance from many hotels and resorts on Amelia island so it was no problem to drop and pick up my pup. I would definitely book her again and give her my highest recommendation. Rocky loved her too!”
“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!”
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).
“My two dogs loved going to daycare with Megan! She was very good at providing care suited to their inidividual temperaments-- my Tate is an independent explorer, and she allowed him to do his thing, while my little Bea is more timid, so she gave her a quieter space where she could relax while she was getting used to the other dogs before she warmed up and was ready to interact. Megan kept me updated with photos and videos so I knew my pups were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I would highly recommend Megan!”
“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.”
“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”
“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”
“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: I absolutely love animals and have been taking care of pets since i was about 10 years old! I have experience with all types of dogs, from seniors to young puppies through working with rescues and I have had over 10 foster dogs who I have helped to find homes. I have also aided in training for rescue dogs of all different backgrounds, including issues with separation, anxiety, crate, potty, and obedience training. Outside of the rescue I also have regular pet sitting clients whose pups I have watched for over 5 years and absolutely love! I also have volunteered with Cats Angels in Fernandina Beach and have experience fostering litters of kittens and stray cats. I am back on Amelia Island for the summer but during the school year I attend Florida State University where I am actively involved in the dog rescue Champ’s Chance and it has taught me so much about working with all types and personalities of pups! 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.
“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 have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
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 taken care of dogs my whole life, through raising and training two dogs growing up, I also was the local dog watcher. After this I have happily walked and boarded dogs to help supply pet parents the best care for their needs while away! I enjoy spending time with animals and give them the love they deserve! I am currently staying at home so I can easily care for your pets! I am available for morning, afternoon and evenings to provide care anytime of day or night. I give our cats the best care in the home, they have trees, scratch pads, I am always home to change the litter box, and toys to play with. They are the sweetest cats! When I take care of other pets I make sure food, water, litter box or taking the animal outside for 30 min+ walk 2x a day.
About: I grew up on a farm with all kinds of animals and I’ve never not had a dog! I currently have a 6 year old golden doodle named Ruby that is my pride and joy. I work part time as a nurse, but when I’m not at work I’m hanging out with ruby- which is a lot more enjoyable. My husband, Thomas, works from home and has been my dog-sitting partner in crime! Between the two of us, our furry visitors are rarely lonely. We provide lots of pets, play time, walks, and cuddles. We have a yard, large dog crates if needed, doggie swimming pool, and lots of furniture for the four legged friends to sit on! I work 1-2 days a week and have full availability the other days. Unfortunately, these days change every week, but I usually have my schedule for a month in advance. I live in a house on a couple acres that is surrounded by trees, so there are lots of little critters to look at from the front porch! my dog and i spend a lot of time outdoors, whether we are going to the beach or on walks.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!

“We've known Kelly for over 9 years, we knew our fur kids would be in great hands staying with her. She treated Lakota and Koa as if they were her own pets. Lakota's allergies flared up while she was staying with Kelly, Kelly instinctively treated her issues and made us aware of what was happening. The kids will be going back for more farm vacations in the future, in fact their next stay is only weeks away.”
“Renee is a lifesaver! We brought our dog to the beach for her first time and learned she didn’t want to be left alone in our condo. We had a tour and activities planned so we quickly started searching and messaged Renee on Rover and she responded within minutes. She agreed to dog sit Poppy at her home on very short notice allowing us to keep our plans for the weekend. She kept us updated frequently by sending pics and videos and taking such great care of our dog. I highly recommend Renee for any pet sitting needs and being so accommodating and thoughtful, we really appreciate her!”
“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!”
“Wendy is simply WONDERFUL! 🤩 Not only she cared for our Saoirse like it was her own, but communication with her was so easy and quick. Considering how anxious and skittish Saoirse can be, she came back to us happy and relaxed. The pics Wendy sent us daily were the best! 😍 I used to foster dogs years ago, and through my conversations with Wendy, I could tell she knows dogs extremely well! She’s very caring, kind and compassionate, and I’d definitely leave my Saoirse with her again! Thank you, Wendy! ❤️”
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.
