“My dog loves Larry and having the huge fenced area with other dogs to play with. She has stayed with him twice and both times, she slept the whole day after picking her up. She gets to go on vacation while I’m away on vacation!”
“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”
“Boarding our little Charlie with Wendy was great! First experience using Rover and I'm very pleased. My wife and I really liked the fact that she has a big yard and she also kept me updated every day with photos and short videos. Charlie was so happy, it seems he really enjoyed the experience as well. Will definitely work with her again. Thanks, Wendy!!”
“Sayla loves every trip she has to Shannon's. She plays so hard it takes her a whole day of rest to recoup! Wonderful to have someone to trust for our girl.”
“Tannia and Chris were absolutely awesome! They exceeded the goal in making sure Zion felt right at home. It truly comforted me and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing he was well cared for!🤗💕THANK YOU!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Katya is the best sitter I have ever had for Sage. She is so attentive, goes on many walks, she plays with her both inside and outside. She has the sweetest touch with Sage and she loves coming to stay with her! I have zero worries when I drop Sage off at Katyas house!”
“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 !”
“It was great to go on vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. I felt Soju was on his own vacation with frequent walks, trips to the park, and enriching socialization with her dogs. I would definitely request her services again.”
“Hannah was really great with my senior dog and cat. She had a calm and warming presence about her and my animals were well taken care of. Will definitely ask for her on the future!”
“Mrs. Eboni is a very welcoming dog sitter who responded to a short-notice request. She provided timely updates with pictures and text messages. This was my first time using the Rover platform, and I highly recommend both Rover and Mrs. Eboni.A++++++++”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew are the best! They sent regular updates and pictures of our Lucy. As much as we miss her when we’re away we at least didn’t have to worry about her at all. We could tell that she was well loved and made herself right at home 😊”
“Tracy was fabulous! She made the boys feel right at home. She provided many updates throughout their stay so we were able to see how much fun they were having. She has one dog that is the sweetest and most gentle boy that got along great with our babies. I highly recommend Tracy and we look forward to booking with her again. :)”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“I have to say that I won't leave my dogs with anyone else while I am in Jacksonville! Kaitland took care of my dogs as if they were hers with all the love, and my dogs love her back. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
“I can’t recommend her enough! 🙌 She took such wonderful care of Cami, sending tons of adorable pictures and videos that really put my mind at ease. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, she’s the one! ❤️🐶”

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.

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).

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.
“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.”
About: I have lived with pets my whole life, ever since I was a kid I have had at times even 5/6 pets between cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I have lots of experience with dogs that come from shelters but also with training puppies that come from breeders. I have a cat in my house right now but he has lived with dogs before so he won’t have any issues making new friends. I am a responsible and reliable person, always updating the owners of their pet’s wellbeing and making sure that they have the best time while staying with me.

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, 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!”
“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!”

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!”
“Thank you so much Shannon!! The pups had so much fun and really enjoyed their new friends. I greatly appreciate you taking care of them on such a short notice. You are a definite keeper.”
“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.”
“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! 🐶🐾🎀”

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 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. Let me hang out with your doggos too! i 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.
“Recently booked Makenna last minute for walks while in town visiting. She was most accommodating, on time and incredibly communicative while we were away. Leaving the pups at home can be stressful, but I had a huge sense of relief while they were with Makenna. I cannot recommend her highly enough, 1000/10!”
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
“Ashley was fantastic! She walked our dog for several days and was always on time, friendly, and professional. We really appreciated how reliable she was and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker.”
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.

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 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

“Kelly and Brian look at Lakota like she's one of their own. We never have to worry about her while she's with them. Kelly and Brian helped Lakota celebrate her 10th birthday while we were gone. They got her a cupcake and sent photos of her enjoying her cake while wearing a party hat. We really can't thank them enough for the care they provide her.”
“Boarding our little Charlie with Wendy was great! First experience using Rover and I'm very pleased. My wife and I really liked the fact that she has a big yard and she also kept me updated every day with photos and short videos. Charlie was so happy, it seems he really enjoyed the experience as well. Will definitely work with her again. Thanks, Wendy!!”

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).
“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Charlayda is amazing! She is kind, caring, super observant of Rex at the meet and greet and intuitively understood him. She had him for 3 days and always sent us pics and videos and we could see how much he was enjoying it.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Andrea and David gave my cat, Lexy. From the start, they were welcoming, reliable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her with them. They sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay, which I really appreciated. My travel plans changed a few times, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible with both drop-off and pick-up. It was clear that Lexy was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I'm so grateful to have found them and will absolutely book with them again!”
“Alicia is the best!!! My rue girl was so comfortable and felt so at home you’d think Alicia was her owner! I have never felt safe leaving rue before however this time with her being in Alicia’s care there wasn’t a worry in my mind! Definitely will be a reoccurring guest ❤️!”
“Megan is the best! This was Ellie’s second visit and she had a great time yet again. So thankful to have found someone so reliable and who genuinely cares about my pup while I’m away. It makes traveling so much less stressful. Thanks Megan and family!”
