“Christine was wonderful. She sent photos and videos each day. She made me feel like our dog was being loved and cared for when she sent me updates and let me know how he was doing. We’ll definitely rebook next time we go out of town!”
“Kendra took excellent care of my little dachshund Fergie. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and Kendra calmed my nerves and assured me that my baby would be safe and cared for. She sent me updates and pictures. Fergie looked calm and relaxed. I would definitely book Kendra again!”

“Lindsey & Jose took great care of my pup! They have a wonderful family who all loved on him and made him feel at home. He enjoyed playing with their dogs and running around outside in their fenced yard. They sent pictures and were very responsive. I highly recommend Lindsey & Jose for your pup!”
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Eddie was so amazing with tyler, He made me feel safe leaving tyler with him over the night. Tyler wasn’t lonely he also made a new friend to play with was definitely a plus for us !”
“My first time ever using rover app, was a bit skeptical. But Kenneth made my skepticism go away by how professional , helpful, and communicative he was.”
“Christian Provided to many photos during our pups stay with her. He came back tired from playing with her dog all weekend. Our Pup really seemed to enjoy himself and the environment Christian has. We felt constantly updated and in the loop on what our dog was up to (: great visit for us!”
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
“Brenda was wonderful with my senior dog who needs a bit of extra care. My little one was comfortable and safe with her - and seemed very happy as well. My dog stayed at Brenda’s home. Brenda sent photos and text updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Brenda as a dog sitter!”
“Quick to respond to booking requests. Very friendly and caring sitter. I will recommend her service! She cared for my golden doodle and my dog came home happy and tired.”
“She is amazing! she took care of my golden doodle like it was her own. I will definitely book her again ❤️ her dog summer is the best and got along with mine very well. Don’t hesitate and book her!”
“Joseph and Reana are awesome! They took such good care of our boys and were flexible with our pickup and drop off times as we had a weird travel schedule over a holiday weekend. They kept us updated on our two dogs and how they were getting along with the others all weekend which was great to see so we didn’t have to worry. Great communication and clearly care about what they do and the quality of care they offer! Will be using again in the future and I highly recommend !”
“Amber is great! She took care of my girl for 4 months while I was deployed. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“I was very grateful that she accepted my last-minute request. My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. She responded quickly to messages, provided updates when I asked, and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely use her services again.”
About: I work fully from home with a relatively flexible schedule so I have the opportunity to spend all day with my doggy and would love to spend time with your dog and even let him or her have a play mate in my dog, Stella! We love to keep our dogs active with playing in the backyard, walks around the neighborhood and to our local park, or even walking on the River Walk. I’m experienced with caring for small - large dogs for both my family and friends! I work fully from home Monday-Friday in which I have plenty of time to give attention, play time, and walks to and for your fur baby! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for playing fetch! Additionally I have a dog of my own who would love to play with your pup all day long! I do have a crate that your pet can stay in if needed.
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Jamilla took great care of our cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She came over every day and played with him and fed him and we just could not have asked for better care for him. She took a ton of pictures and watched very closely to make sure that he was doing okay while we were gone. She's just such a sweetheart.”
“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Katie is awesome! She left detailed notes each day, and lots of pictures. She is quick to respond and goes the extra mile. I think my cat was disappointed when I got home, he liked Katie so much!”
“This is my second time using Jada and she is so fantastic with our cat Broccoli. She sends pictures and messages about how he’s doing. He definitely has taken a liking to her since the last time she watched him so I am happy to continue using her as our pet sitter because Brocc loves her!”
“Amber is wonderful with my kitties and sends lots of photos. She was even able to make friends with my skittish cat! I have rebooked her for September,”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Kristie is awesome! She followed all the instructions I left, took great care of my shy little cat, and even kept me updated with friendly messages. I felt super confident leaving Mia in her care and would absolutely trust her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
“Meredith was wonderful! We needed someone to watch our cat Ollie last minute and she was super responsive and detail oriented. Would def 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.”
“Liz was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat, Lily, while we were away. Liz noticed her water drinking & eating habits, listened to Lily’s complaints and demands, and did such a great job keeping us updated. We’ll be reaching out to Liz again next time we need a pet sitter!”
“This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️”
“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”
About: Certainly! Here's a more polished version of your statement: "For the past 18 years, I have devoted myself to caring for cats while managing a pet resort.

“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I have spent most of my life caring for pets. I currently own one dog named Mackey. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention they need. Please Note: I do not accept pets that are not crate trained and potty trained. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I can use that opportunity to provide plenty of walks and breaks as needed for your pet. Our normal walks occur twice a day in the morning and in the evening with intermittent outside breaks throughout the day. My current dog is indoors. All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.
“We needed someone to care for our puppy while we came to town for a funeral and Beverly provided great care! She was very communicative and reassuring as this was our first time using this service!”
“Makenzie was willing to work with me on my short notice and responded promptly. She is a perfect babysitter and I wound recommend her services to anyone who wants a loving home for their fur baby.”
About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors.

I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all.

I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments.

“Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊”

“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”
“Amanda was great with my dog Klaus! She included lots of pictures of him during their walks which gave me a piece of mind while I was at work. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Margaret and I would love to take care of your furry friend! I grew up with dogs and cats of all different sizes. I have years of experience with a variety of dogs and their unique personalities. I am a teacher, so my schedule allows me to give a lot of attention to your dog, especially on the weekends and during the summer break. My husband and I own a house in Murray Hill. Our house has a fenced in backyard. There is also a park just a block from our house that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. We have a labradoodle, Olive, who loves playing with other doggos. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat, Lola, that tolerates being around dogs, as most cats do. I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule is fairly flexible during the school year. Evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers offer me plenty of time to check in and be with your furry friends! I have a playful labradoodle that will keep your pup busy and entertained as well as a dog door to a fenced in backyard that keeps them safe and allows for all the potty breaks. The dog door can be closed off if needed.

About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $40! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
“Val is an awesome dog walker! She has been walking our 10 month old golden doodle for 1-2 times a day for a little over a month now. So glad we found her! She is trustworthy, reliable, flexible and truly cares about our pup. She even helps reinforce training! She also takes the cutest pictures that make the workday so much easier. ”
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊

Thanks, Ella I am a recent graduate from UCF, and now am back home in Jax, so I have a pretty open schedule for pet care and visits! I watch animals in my clients homes! I care for them like my own and make sure they feel happy and safe! I will give them all the loving and care they deserve!
“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”
“Pam arrived in time and Ralphie instantly loved her. Pam’s personality is awesome and she really knows how to make the pet feel comfortable. She took her time getting to know Ralphie and seemed to really enjoy walking with him. Ralphie seems to have had a great time and I think he really likes Pam.”

“My first time ever using rover app, was a bit skeptical. But Kenneth made my skepticism go away by how professional , helpful, and communicative he was.”
“Christian Provided to many photos during our pups stay with her. He came back tired from playing with her dog all weekend. Our Pup really seemed to enjoy himself and the environment Christian has. We felt constantly updated and in the loop on what our dog was up to (: great visit for us!”
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
“Joseph and Reana are awesome! They took such good care of our boys and were flexible with our pickup and drop off times as we had a weird travel schedule over a holiday weekend. They kept us updated on our two dogs and how they were getting along with the others all weekend which was great to see so we didn’t have to worry. Great communication and clearly care about what they do and the quality of care they offer! Will be using again in the future and I highly recommend !”
“Amber is great! She took care of my girl for 4 months while I was deployed. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“I was very grateful that she accepted my last-minute request. My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. She responded quickly to messages, provided updates when I asked, and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely use her services again.”
About: I work fully from home with a relatively flexible schedule so I have the opportunity to spend all day with my doggy and would love to spend time with your dog and even let him or her have a play mate in my dog, Stella! We love to keep our dogs active with playing in the backyard, walks around the neighborhood and to our local park, or even walking on the River Walk. I’m experienced with caring for small - large dogs for both my family and friends! I work fully from home Monday-Friday in which I have plenty of time to give attention, play time, and walks to and for your fur baby! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for playing fetch! Additionally I have a dog of my own who would love to play with your pup all day long! I do have a crate that your pet can stay in if needed.
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs in my home as long as I can remember. My dogs are my best friends. I can accommodate more than 1 dog if needed. 3 dogs from the same owner. I work a full-time job. I can board dogs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I have dogs of my own. They have their own room. Feed them on a schedule and let them play in the backyard on nice days. I have a fenced in back yard. I have dogs. I can separate them from other dogs if needed. Just let me know of any special instructions that I may need to accommodate.
“I am so thankful for you! My regular dog sitter went out of town, and I was desperate to find someone that I can trust as I have had some poor experiences in the past. You were very attentive, very responsive during the booking process, and you reassured me the entire time which clearly showed you have had experience with dogs who have troubled pasts! I appreciate the updates with the videos and pictures, and it was awesome to see. Stella excited when I picked her up, knowing that she was in good hands. Thank you so much for being a wonderful sitter, and I look forward to using you in the future.!”
“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”
“I couldn’t have picked a better sitter for my fur baby sea. While I was away I got updated photos of my baby and she was absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything she did. Thank you and I would recommend her and her family to anyone that is in need of a sitter for their furbaby”
“Keri and her family were phenomenal caretakers for my Dutch shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix, Maximus Alexander. They were so accommodating, kind, and most of all caring and fun! Maximus had an amazing time and was so happy in all of the pictures and videos I received of him playing with their splash pad and all of the toys. They put my mind at ease after Max suffered a sudden minor injury just two days before drop off and took care of him like he was their own. They even let me Zoom in and talk to him! I will certainly be keeping their contact any time I need to leave town and have even started to think of just day boarding him with Keri because he was just that happy with them and so was I! I truly appreciate them!”
