“Larry was awesome... daily pictures and updates as to how Rowdy was doing. Larry worked with Rowdy of several things (walking on leash and 'come' command). Larry has a huge, beautiful yard that Rowdy played his heart out. I highly recommend Larry when boarding your furry babies! Thank you Larry, I truly appreciate you! ???”


“Eboni did so good with our dog! She was super flexible with drop offs and pick up times. And just very accommodating for this to be such a last minute stay. Rando seemed to have such a great time! I would highly recommend Eboni!!”

“Tracy is absolutely phenomenal. She was beyond flexible as we traveled out of town for a baby shower and took great care of our 90lb Golden! We will be repeat customers for sure!”

“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 !”

“Renee made us feel comfortable immediately after leaving our two dogs. She made every effort to see that they were comfortable and well taken care of. We were very pleased with her services and would definitely leave our dogs with her again.”

“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!”

“Sara was absolutely amazing with my Shih Tzu, Chloe. From the moment we met her, her personality was so warm and kind, and it immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe in her care. She kept me updated and treated Chloe like she was her own. It meant so much to hear that everyone fell in love with Chloe while she was there—it reassured me that she was getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Sara gave her and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

“Kelly was an amazing host !! She couldn’t have been more accommodating and hospitable to my elderly lady dog, Lacy. Kelly’s farm residence is perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Lacy to stay while I was traveling. I would definitely recommend Kelly 🐶❤️💫”

“Shannon was great! Great communication and tons of pictures. She is very friendly and attentive my dog had a great time I can definitely tell she took excellent care of my dog and will def book in future.”


“Kariah is absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of my dog while we took ferry to the Cumberland Island. She sent us pictures and updated us about how my dog was doing. It looked like my dog was also having a vacation in her home. When we picked up our dog, it was such a nice surprise that she presented me a ‘thank you’ card as well as a dog biscuit as a gift. She is so thoughtful and sweet, and made our first time experience with Rover perfect! Thank you, Kariah!”


“I could have not asked for a better dog sitter!! Everything about Wendy was great! I booked with less than 8 hours of notice and she was very accommodating. She accommodated to my dogs preferred walking schedule and showered him with love and treats. She also kept me updated everyday with his status and loads of photos. I would highly recommend her and would use her again anytime I am out of town. I feel very comfortable with her watching my little baby.”


“I recently moved to Jacksonville and interviewed 4 sitters before I found Tannia and Chris. As soon as I met them I knew they were the ones! Beautiful people, beautiful home, beautiful experience. My Frenchie is 6 years old and this was the first time I left her with ‘strangers’. My little Frida is very attached to me- but I had to pry her out of their house to bring her home after my trip. I found my people to watch my pup whenever I go out of town. Tannia and Chris were ‘strangers’ for all of about 10 seconds. They are now Frida’s home away from home- where I know I am leaving her with two caring and thoughtful dog lovers. 💕”


“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!”

About: I am a former manager at a daycare and boarding facility, I have administered diabetes shots and other medications for animals. I plan to own my own daycare boarding facility in the future. Helping others and working with animals has always been my passion, I initially went to college for veterinary but decided that it wasn’t for me that a Daycare facility was best suited for me and my personality. I currently am a manager at a restaurant I can walk pets before 5:30 am but it didn’t give the option and anytime after 4 pm. I have three friendly dogs who are very socialized they go to doggy daycare and one elderly cat who is 16 and our yard is fenced in and I live down the street from a dog park as well!
“Patty, was more than wonderful with our Sashi. We went away for a week and left Sashi with Patty. We were a little nervous because we never done it before but we did the right decision with Patty. She kept us updated with text and video and we can see how happy Sashi was. Patty treat her as she was hers. Patty is amazing, I will recommend Patty to anyone who want there baby to be treat like they were at home. Sashi will be continue visit Patty??❤️”

“Skylar was super happy and safe with Kaitlyn and Andrew. They provided daily updates with pictures to provide me with peace of mind about her care while I was away.”

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.
“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”

“Lauren is very attentive and did a great job caring for our cats. She took extra time to care for our special needs kitty, who can be persnickity, but warmed up to Lauren right away. We're so thankful to have found Lauren and have already booked her for our next trip.”

“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.”


“We booked Dean on fairly short notice, because our usual boarding place no longer takes care of cats, and another pet sitter stood us up. And we've been very happy having chosen Dean for the care of our 3 cats while we were on vacation to Europe. This was our first pet sitting experience. Dean was available for a meet-and-greet the next morning after we put in our request. Dean has been very responsive and communicates very clearly and quickly, which is one of main the reasons why we chose him. Dean is also a very pleasant person to be around and to talk to, so we immediately felt good about him taking care of our 3 cats. He came by every day. He brought in our mail, cleaned up after our cats, fed our cats and stayed for quite some time every day to give the cats some attention - he even vacuumed our home. He sent us pictures and a small update every day. We think he's done a great job, and we would definitely hire him again if we need another pet sitter. He's highly recommended.”

“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!”

“Larry is just great. He's a really nice guy and a gentleman, which is nice to come across these days. We talked to him for 2 minutes and it was clear to us how much he loves the dogs he cares for. We were totally confident leaving our little Sushi with him. Larry sent some terrific photos and touched base throughout the day. We visit the area pretty often and Larry's now our go to sitter in NE Florida. Nice to know that Sushi has a loving family to visit when we're here. Thanks so much, Larry. See you soon.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of dog personalities and behaviors, including large breeds, strong pullers, high energy dogs, dogs with strong prey drives, reactive dogs, and dogs that may be uncertain around other animals or unfamiliar people. 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: ➖ 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: 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.

“Sara was absolutely amazing with my Shih Tzu, Chloe. From the moment we met her, her personality was so warm and kind, and it immediately made me feel comfortable leaving Chloe in her care.

It meant so much to hear that everyone fell in love with Chloe while she was there—it reassured me that she was getting lots of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Sara gave her and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”

“Kariah is absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of my dog while we took ferry to the Cumberland Island. She sent us pictures and updated us about how my dog was doing. It looked like my dog was also having a vacation in her home. When we picked up our dog, it was such a nice surprise that she presented me a ‘thank you’ card as well as a dog biscuit as a gift. She is so thoughtful and sweet, and made our first time experience with Rover perfect! Thank you, Kariah!”


“I could have not asked for a better dog sitter!! Everything about Wendy was great! I booked with less than 8 hours of notice and she was very accommodating. She accommodated to my dogs preferred walking schedule and showered him with love and treats. She also kept me updated everyday with his status and loads of photos. I would highly recommend her and would use her again anytime I am out of town. I feel very comfortable with her watching my little baby.”


“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!”

Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”

“Thank you for watching Diesel, my big baby. Jerome helped me out big time by taking a last minute boarding request so I could attend a funeral. He sent plenty of pictures and I was able to stress about one less thing. He was very hospitable upon arrival and I loved that I didn’t have to lug around Diesel’s crate. When I picked Diesel up, he gave me a great recommendation about his food. If I ever need to book a boarding service, Jerome will be the first person I contact.”

I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”

I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive sitter. Thank you, Laura!”
