“Just give her the trophy for Best Dog Sitter of all time, because Charlayda is! She is organized, a great communicator and loves Nugget like she loves her own pets.”
“Marilyn was amazing! So calm and patient, and she sent sweet pictures and messages about our girl. Bonus for us is she's less than 5 minutes away!”
“Wendy was incredibly understanding when I ran late, which I truly appreciated. She also kept me updated with plenty of adorable photos of Cody that honestly made my day. I’d absolutely trust her with my boy again.”
“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.”
“Andrea and David were great! This was my first time using Rover and they gave me a great experience. They checked in daily with photos and gave me updates on how my dog was doing each day. They even gave me a keepsake from her stay there! They also made the accommodation to pick up and drop her off which was nice for me with having a 3 month old. I would definitely book with them again if I need someone to watch my girl and I think that you should too!”
“I can’t describe how great our and Buddy’s experience with Cindee was. It shows that she genuinely loves dogs and just wants to make your pup happy. Communication was great and Buddy loved her home. He had a huge back yard to run around and lounge in the sun. Buddy had some stomach issues during his stay and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable. More than that, she’s just a fun person that we enjoyed throughout the whole experience. We would love to bring Buddy back any time she would have him. Thanks, Cindee!”
“Patti and Butch were great! They have a wonderful back yard and they treated our little dog like it was their own. She provided daily pictures and updates while we were away for two weeks. Our dog was very happy and safe for the entire visit. I highly recommend Patti for any pet sitting needs.”
“Rachel was awesome! Freyja had room to run and friends to run with, and I received photos updating me throughout her stay. She's my first choice when I have to go out of town for work.”
“If you’re even thinking about booking Katerina—stop thinking and just do it. She’s not a 10/10… she’s a 1,000,000. From the moment we connected, her communication was on another level. Constant updates, photos, and videos—you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. You *see* it in real time, and it’s obvious your pet is not just being watched… they’re being genuinely cared for. Her home is spotless—truly next-level clean. Non-smoking environment, calm energy, and everything feels safe and intentional. That matters more than people admit. This isn’t a chaotic drop-off situation—it’s structured, peaceful, and professional. She also has a young child who absolutely loves animals, which adds a really special dynamic. It’s not forced interaction—it’s natural, warm, and your dog feels it. Mine came back not just happy, but super happy. And the backyard? Huge, fully fenced, and perfect for dogs to run, explore, and actually burn energy—not just pace around. What separates Katerina from everyone else is simple: she treats your dog like it’s her own, and she backs that up with constant visibility and care. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again—and frankly, once you use her, everyone else will feel like a downgrade.”
“Katya did a great job taking care of Reggie when I went out of town! Communication was excellent and she provided periodic updates and photos showing how much fun he was having! It’s so nice to be able to leave my boy with someone knowing he is so well taken care of!”
“Chrissy took fantastic care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She sent updates and photos, and had excellent communication. 10/10 would return and recommend!”
“It was my first time using this Rover app for my puppy and I have to say Blanca was amazing with my puppy Nori. Definitely will be calling her again . She was very loving towards her and my puppy seemed very happy.”
“Another wonderful experience with Alysia! Dante comes back happy and even slightly calmer somehow. I will use Alysia anytime I can to watch my little guy.”
“Always a great experience when Emma watches Margie! She always sends pictures and keeps us updated on her stay! Margie always looks so happy and cared for! ❤️”
“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 😊”
“Randy was great!! He accepted a last minute overnight boarding for my two kitties!! He was great and we felt good knowing how taken care of they were. We will be using Randy again in the future!”
“She is super sweet, very communicative which I really appreciate. My dog was super happy, like at home. We felt so relieved that our dog was in good hands. Thank you so much, we will definitely go back to her every time we have to go out. Thank you so much again :)”
“Tyler was fantastic! Our dog had a great time boarding with her. She sent us updates multiple times a day with pictures during our trip. She made sure to let us know how he was doing and what he was up to. We will definitely use Tyler again?”

“I don’t even know where to start. I had to go to the hospital unexpectedly and was panicking about my cats and my apartment. Illeana responded right away and stepped in when I really needed someone. She met me at the hospital to get my keys and took such good care of my babies, sending me pictures and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. But what she did beyond that completely shocked me. I came home to a clean apartment. She took out all my trash, cleaned my kitchen, washed dishes, bought bowls for my cats, left cleaning supplies and even flowers on the counter. She showed me so much kindness during one of the hardest weeks I’ve had. I have no family or friends in this country so she’s the only one I had during that time. She is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. I will never forget what she did for me and my cats. If you’re thinking about booking her, please do. She’s amazing.”
“Hailey was awesome! Looked forward to seeing her updates and photos every night while I was away, and she did a great job at making me feel reassured that my kitties were well taken care of!”
“Charlayda is the best. She took great care of our five cat babies while we were out of town. She sent us lots of pictures/videos, brought in our packages, and became a part of the fam! She even helped with an unexpected emergency on our last booked day- we super appreciated all of her help. We will definitely be booking her again! Thank you so much Layda!”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own.
“She took such wonderful care of my elderly cat. Such kind loving energy towards him, our fish, our home and us. Will definitely hire her again. Thank you Marilyn.”
“Second time booking with Jeweliana and Riley! They are so awesome, very communicative, friendly, and flexible. They worked with us on picking up our keys early which was a HUGE help. Our kitties have grown very fond of them. Thanks again!!”
“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
About: I’ve loved cats my whole life and I think they’re are truly the best! I have three kitties - Dodo (8y, Siberian, adopted in 2021), Rexi (2y, shorthair, adopted in 2024) and Vision (1y, shorthair, rescued in 2025). I also take care of the stray cats in my neighborhood and participate in TNR (trap-neuter-release) programs. I often look after my friends cats when they are out of town. People love to say I’m a cat lady, and I take it as a compliment. Vision is blind so I have experience with taking care of cats with disabilities, as well as can give oral medication. I would love to take care of your kitties!
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
“Holly was wonderful! Very good with following all the little notes on the boys routine to keep things feeling normal while I was away. Super appreciate that! Will definitely be rebooking next vacation”
“We've used Alivia twice now and will definitely keep booking her whenever we need a sitter. She's super sweet, very communicative, and loves her furry friends. Our cat loves her and she sends us the cutest pictures when we’re away. It's such a relief knowing our kitty is in such good hands!”
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. Currently I have my dog Kota, and my best friend’s dog Brandi who I am looking after for the next 3 months. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me, Kota and Brandi can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
About: I’ve had multiple cats throughout my life and I currently have 2 babies of my own, who I provide the best care I possibly can for. I’ve worked with cats in a professional setting for almost 2 years. I have experience deep cleaning litter boxes, feeding, administering topical and oral medications. I have worked with kittens from around 3 months to senior citizen cats as well. I understand that a lot of cats are very anxious with new people and I always take it slow when introducing myself to them. I’ve always been biggest cat lover ! 🩷
“Katherine was awesome!! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel at ease immediately. She took care of my 3 dogs and cat so well and treated them like family! She’s also amazing at sending pictures and videos. I will definitely be reaching out again for future pup help! Thanks Katherine!”

About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!
“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”
“Ellie is always happy going to and coming home from Emma’s, which says everything. She’s comfortable, excited, and clearly trusts her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands.”
“Wendy was very good with communication before and during my pup’s visit with her. She sent pictures while he was in her care and he seemed to have a fantastic time with her. My boy has a lot of energy and he was ready for rest after we got home, so I know she spent time playing with him❤️”
“Yekaterina and her family are amazing! They watched my 8 week old puppy whitney for several days and treated her like family. She sent videos and cute pictures throughout the day and the kids played with my pup and were so good to her. My puppy loved it at their house! 🩷💕”
“Dustin had such a good time with Chrissy and her dogs! She sent me a few pictures throughout the day. I definitely recommend her! Chrissy is really nice and welcoming!!”
About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover my entire life, and most of my expertise comes from the rewarding experience of raising my own two dogs from the time they were puppies. Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy, establishing routines, crate training, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience housesitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog in my care with the exact same patience and dedication I give to my own! I am currently off work and at home full-time, which means your dog will have my undivided attention! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's regular feeding, potty, and exercise routines. Because I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime. Safety is my top priority. My home features both a fully fenced-in front yard and a fenced-in backyard, providing plenty of secure, enclosed space for your dog to safely explore and play. Inside, I have two large crates available if your pup prefers or requires crating for meals, bedtime, or quiet time. I am highly experienced in managing a structured environment, and I strictly follow all of your specific care instructions to ensure total peace of mind.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 my family members and my friends always count on me to take care of their dogs when needed. I’m a huge dog lover and a dog owner myself and I worked in a vet clinic before. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to have doggy time and to have fun with them and take very good care of them. I’m always available in the mornings after 9am till 2 pm I live in an apartment but I love taking dogs on a walk and I love taking them outside and playing with them just having a fun time with them in general while taking care of them. They will take potty times very 2 hours and make sure they get a lot of walk time and play time.
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“Very communicative! My dog was extremely happy and calm when I got home. Trust worthy and very thorough when reporting about how he did since he is older with health issues. Will definitely invite her back.”
“Nicole is so great! She sent a nice update from walking my dog which I greatly appreciated! I would definitely request her to take care of my dog again and recommend her to others as well!!”
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”

About: I've taken care of pets, mostly cats, since I was 8. My mom's side of the family were vet techs and farm kids, so I've grown up knowing how to take care. I've also handled multiple special needs animals, both dogs and cats with skin and diet issues. I understand how animals can be with new people, and take the time and energy to let them trust me. I will be working and going to school in the upcoming spring semester. I like to travel so certain dates may be unavailable, however, I love to take care of animals and will dedicate my time to their care. I follow instructions that the owner would like, and supervise their fur-baby to keep them safe from eating things they shouldn't, staying within their allowed area, and most importantly, being able to be themselves and play or relax. I understand how to give medications, even to those pets that do not like taking them. I want to give the care that I would want my pets to have.
About: I have almost 2 years of professional experience working with dogs and cats. I am experienced with pets from around 3 months up to 15+ years. I am experienced in feeding, as well as administering both oral and topical medications to both cats and dogs. I have experience with shy, timid and anxious pets, and I have dealt with aggressive/reactive behavior. I have experience working with multiple pets at one time, walking up to 3 dogs at one time, and monitoring up to 25 dogs in a play setting at one time. I have administered first aid to dogs with clipped nails, scratched paws, minor bites from other animals, and other various small injuries, as well as sickness. I currently have 2 cats of my own, and I’ve had family pets ever since I was a little kid. At one point there were 7 cats and 4 dogs being taken care of at my home, and I was relied on to help feed, bathe, and walk them. I’m an animal lover. Sometimes I feel I connect better to animals than people themselves! I can bring the energy, but I’m also responsible, patient, and can remain calm when dealing with animals that are in distress or are very hyper. I will always follow how the owner of the pet wants that pet to be treated, trained or disciplined. I currently work full time hospital hours (12 hour shifts, 3x a week) so on days I work it is hard to schedule walks, but I’m available pretty much all day any other days. I will keep my schedule updated so clients can see what days I’m available, as my schedule does tend to change around often. I currently do not have the proper equipment or means to board any animals at the moment. However, I will follow anything the owner needs me to do when it comes to care of their animal in their own home, as well as offering all of the love I can! I will ensure the animals are fed, walked/ let out to play, and bathed if needed.

“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”
About: Hello there! I’m a teacher and mom to two fur babies of my own. I’ve had lots of experience as a sitter and pet owner. I use Rover for my own pets so I know the importance of trusting the people you have watching your babies. I send lots of photos and messages so you know your baby is being cared for with the highest attention and quality. Since I am a teacher my weekday schedule is limited to evening drop ins only but available on the weekends anytime. During the summer and most breaks I have open availability for daytime visits. I have been a pet owner most of my life and love my pets like humans! My pets are well taken care of and have routine yearly visits and dental cleanings. I will treat your fur baby with just as much care and love that you do!
About: I have been around animals my entire life, and have cat & dog sat a multitude of times! I am also a college student hopefully going to vet school post graduate. I have many hours of shadowing at various vet hospitals and clinics. I have fostered cats and dogs many times, and am very comfortable giving oral, injection, and ointment type medications. I’m currently home on my winter break for college, i’m hoping to make some money while i’m here, I have a good bit of free time and am very flexible. I am able to work well with various animals from different breeds, ages, and administer medications if they require. I am able to play with more active animals as needed.

“Kira was awesome with my lil baby Draco. He’s a Rottweiler lol but that’s what he is to me and how she treated him which I really appreciate. I felt comfortable being out of town with the updates she was sending me and updates! I’ll definitely be using her again in the future :)”
“Wendy was incredibly understanding when I ran late, which I truly appreciated. She also kept me updated with plenty of adorable photos of Cody that honestly made my day. I’d absolutely trust her with my boy again.”
“Andrea and David were great! This was my first time using Rover and they gave me a great experience. They checked in daily with photos and gave me updates on how my dog was doing each day. They even gave me a keepsake from her stay there! They also made the accommodation to pick up and drop her off which was nice for me with having a 3 month old. I would definitely book with them again if I need someone to watch my girl and I think that you should too!”
“I can’t describe how great our and Buddy’s experience with Cindee was. It shows that she genuinely loves dogs and just wants to make your pup happy. Communication was great and Buddy loved her home. He had a huge back yard to run around and lounge in the sun. Buddy had some stomach issues during his stay and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable. More than that, she’s just a fun person that we enjoyed throughout the whole experience. We would love to bring Buddy back any time she would have him. Thanks, Cindee!”
“My girls thought it was no big deal that I came back to pick them up, so I guess that says it all. Em and Carl were good with them and gave frequent updates. Recommend”
“Conrad loved his stay with Ashley and fam over the holidays. We got regular updates and photos of all the fun which gave us a great peace of mind. Would highly recommend, and will be requesting service in the future. Thank you Ashley!”

You were recommended by a friend of ours with high praise for your services and have lived up to those expectations. Thank you again.”
“Another wonderful experience with Alysia! Dante comes back happy and even slightly calmer somehow. I will use Alysia anytime I can to watch my little guy.”
“Always a great experience when Emma watches Margie! She always sends pictures and keeps us updated on her stay! Margie always looks so happy and cared for! ❤️”
“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”
“Penny had a wonderful time with Debra and her sweet dog Jester. I received many pictures throughout the weekend and it was obvious Penny was well taken care of. 10/10! I would absolutely book with Debra again.”

“Tyler was fantastic! Our dog had a great time boarding with her. She sent us updates multiple times a day with pictures during our trip. She made sure to let us know how he was doing and what he was up to. We will definitely use Tyler 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 ❤️”
“Amelia was such a pleasure to work with! From the meet n greet and throughout her stay our pup was so happy! Amelia communicated with us as well as sent pictures throughout her stay! We can’t say enough about Amelia and the care she provided. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.
