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!”

For their few chill moments, Andrea ensured they had several places to snuggle up in, whether that was by her feet, in her lap, on a blanket surrounded by toys, or in a safe space from home. She followed my care instructions well and asked questions when needed. I know they had the best time and would be more than happy to stay again. Thanks, Andrea!!”

I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. Currently, I offer housesitting in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Jacksonville. I will also travel to other locations if needed. I am only offering dog sitting at my home in Jacksonville, in the Murray Hill neighborhood. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, big or small I love them all. I have vast experience with disabled and older dogs, including administering medication. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs. I send picture updates daily so you can have peace of mind that your dog is being well taken care of. I would love to watch over your four-legged family! I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. I have a fully fenced in yard and always supervise any time spent outside.

About: I always thought I grow up to be a dog trainer and even made an obstacle course for my dog at the age of 8. I love all types of dogs and especially high energy pups. I have had a Border Collie, an Aussie, a Labrador and currently have 2 Doberman. We go for several walks through the day and they love to play with other dogs. I work at the fire station for 48 hours on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the week I stay at home and care for my pups, unless I pick up an extra shift. I take the dogs for several walks a day and have a small unfenced yard to let them out on leash. My dogs are crate trained and I have extra crates at my house if your dogs perfers to sleep in a kennel. I also keep a close eye on my dogs because they are known to get into mischief due to their high energy. I keep them busy with mental stimulation toys through out the day so yours will get those also. I also have a separate upstairs area of the house for dogs who want to be away from the energy of the Doberman. But most of all, I am very flexible and can work with you and yours to make it work!
About: I lived in the Dominican Republic as a missionary for 4.5 years. I’m the founder of a non-profit called Dogs of the DR. We fostered orphaned puppies, cared for minor wounds, vaccinated dogs and cats, and flew strays to the U.S. for a better life. I’ve worked with veterinarians in the DR and the U.S., so I have medical knowledge in the case of an emergency. I love running, and I take my dog with me every time I go. I have flexible hours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 2 weeks-old, to 14 years-old. I own a car, and I’m willing to travel 50 miles to help out. I allow dogs on the furniture, and in bed. I have no allergies that could prevent me from being useful. I work remotely, so I am home throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, or midday walks. I am to step away periodically throughout my day to tend to your pets' needs. I understand that I am in your pet's space and will respect their routines, rituals and boundaries. I don't mind animals in the bed or on the furniture, and I can let them out as often as needed.

Your pet will feel at home, and you can remain stress-free will away! I'm normally home on the weekends so your pet will have my full attention. I do not smoke. I have an open floor plan, and plenty of yard space. I can be trusted by others to meet or exceed the basic necessities of your pup's canine care in addition to any special accommodations that need to be made. ***All owners MUST have crates for their pets upon booking*** I do work full time, so l am only able to give potty breaks before I leave for work and after I return (typically 8 hours). I am also fully capable of following all medication regimens and feeding schedules. Please advise if you do not have crates for your pets, I am unwilling to keep them. I do not have extra crates at this time. Please have proper working leashes anyd/or harnesses. If you have two dogs to board I will need 4 bowls and two operable leashes, one for each of them. I reside in a new development with a designated area for dogs. There is also a dog park nearby. My son is eleven and loves animals. He will be a great help in care and playtime with your beloved animal.

“Here for the weekend and wanted our boy to go have fun and meet new friends.

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).
“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 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❤️”
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.
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.

About: Hi! My name is Marsha. I have never owned a pet, but many have owned me. Each has a story and each stole a piece of my heart. I currently have a retriever (Gracie) that the grandchildren found in my backyard. She is the hostess with the mostest when it comes to other fur babies. I also have a cat (Jill) who was a part of a set found by my husband at a dumpster. I recently fostered a German Shephard (Smoki), but fell in love and added her to our family. I have some time on my hands and would like to fill that time with something I enjoy. I love puppies, energetic tweens and elders with love left to give. Whether it's a visit, a walk, or play I would love to help.

About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay.

We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby at the meet and greet. Have a fenced-in yard at home with a security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is calm and well-trained.
“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!”

“Sara has been sitting my puppy since she was only 10 weeks old in her home. I literally don’t know how I could raise this puppy without her. I’m a nurse and work long hours and when I pick up Lacey from Sara she is fed, tired, and sometimes even bathed! I couldn’t ask for a more perfect fit for my pup than Sara and her family they are incredible and extremely accommodating. Highly recommend, your pup will be in great hands.”
“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.”
“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

“Carrie was an amazing walker and companion for my dog Ruby! She went above and beyond, walked her, played with her, took multiple pictures so I felt like I was there, even brought in my mail. Carrie’s help made my week so much better. Thank you, Carrie!”
About: My mission is to provide compassionate, dependable, and personalized care that allows pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home while giving their families complete peace of mind. Every visit is built on kindness, trust, and treating each pet like a member of the family who is viewed and nurtured with love! Currently living with a cat, and I am both, a dog and a cat person! 😇 I offer flexible availability throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I do my best to accommodate regular daily walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting requests based on client needs and availability. For recurring dog walking clients, I typically schedule visits within consistent time windows (such as mid-morning or early afternoon), which helps maintain your pet’s routine and reduces stress. For pet sitting and drop-in visits, I will coordinate a schedule in advance to ensure your pet receives reliable care and attention while you are away. I respond to messages promptly and will always communicate clearly if I am unavailable or if my schedule is full for a specific time period. The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes or during walks, which allows pets to remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine with minimal stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and comfort level before beginning care. I ensure all doors and entry points are secure at all times, and I am extremely mindful when entering and exiting the home to prevent any chance of escape. I do not allow off-leash outdoor time unless explicitly approved by the owner and in a fully secure area. I maintain a clean environment by properly handling food areas, litter boxes, and any pet-related messes during each visit. I also monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will immediately communicate any concerns to the owner. Trust and respect are very important to me. I treat every home with care, privacy, and professionalism, as if it were my own.

I’m naturally dependable, attentive, and detail-oriented, so I take your pet’s routines seriously. I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, puppies, senior dogs, and large breeds, and I always prioritize safety and clear communication. What you can expect when your pet stays with me: 🐾 Lots of love, playtime, and attention 🐾 Walks and exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level 🐾 Photo and video updates so you can relax while you're away 🐾 Reliable, responsible care you can trust I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone new. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet so you can see if I’m the right fit for your furry family member. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I treat every pet’s routine as a priority. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or medication, I fit pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Morning and evening walks for dogs Midday visits for lunch, potty breaks, or cuddles Flexible scheduling to accommodate your pet’s needs Short visits or overnight stays depending on your schedule I make sure your pet’s day feels consistent, just like when you’re home. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I carefully supervise all activities, keep doors and gates secured, and follow any instructions you provide to the letter. All play areas are safe, clean, and pet-proofed I maintain a calm and structured environment, perfect for anxious or shy pets I provide updates with photos or videos so you can trust that your pet is happy and safe.

About: I joined Rover last month with the goal of providing exceptional care and service to each pet that I encounter. I hope by proving excellent services to establish a strong client base. Doing so will be a challenge with so many wonderful pet sitters, but I know it is possible! As a child, my family and I always had dogs and cats. As an adult, I continue to have a passion for all animals. This passion drove me to become very active board member of an animal rescue, The London Sanctuary. The London Sanctuary is a local hound rescue based in Jacksonville, for over 10 years. There is a 20% off the first booking promotions to any new clients. I currently working at compounding pet pharmacy. Pet care seamlessly integrates into daily and weekly routines by creating a structured framework that benefits both the pet and the owner.

About: I lived in the Dominican Republic as a missionary for 4.5 years. I’m the founder of a non-profit called Dogs of the DR. We fostered orphaned puppies, cared for minor wounds, vaccinated dogs and cats, and flew strays to the U.S. for a better life. I’ve worked with veterinarians in the DR and the U.S., so I have medical knowledge in the case of an emergency. I love running, and I take my dog with me every time I go. I have flexible hours. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 2 weeks-old, to 14 years-old. I own a car, and I’m willing to travel 50 miles to help out. I allow dogs on the furniture, and in bed. I have no allergies that could prevent me from being useful. I work remotely, so I am home throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, or midday walks. I am to step away periodically throughout my day to tend to your pets' needs. I understand that I am in your pet's space and will respect their routines, rituals and boundaries. I don't mind animals in the bed or on the furniture, and I can let them out as often as needed.
About: I’ve always had dogs in the family to take care of, but I have had a personal dog for about 4 years now. I’ve been working as a vet tech for almost a year and working with animals has always been a passion! I currently work a full time job, 40 hours in four days. I am more than happy to take care of dogs in the evenings Monday- Thursday, but I am available full time Friday- Sunday! I love to take pups out on long walks to get the energy out. I love playing with toys or chilling watching Netflix with snuggles! I am very open to getting to know each and every pup and personality and finding a routine that works best for them!
About: I’ve had 3 of my own dogs of all sizes and have also had plenty of experience walking and taking care of dogs of all ages for years! I love them more than anything!! I have a very flexible schedule. I currently do school and work from home. Although I do not have a yard, there is a dog park in my building, along with a grooming station/room. If need be, I can also walk your doggies around the area. I am a huge dog lover, and missing my pets from back home! I currently work and study from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop offs or pick ups early mornings or late nights. There is no rush with me. I do not have children or other pets in the home, just friends who stop by daily. Your pet would definitely have my undivided attention.

“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!”

“Andrea is great! She’s an excellent communicator and was wonderful and loving with my two active dogs. They got so much exercise in and trusted Andrea for sure. For their few chill moments, Andrea ensured they had several places to snuggle up in, whether that was by her feet, in her lap, on a blanket surrounded by toys, or in a safe space from home. She followed my care instructions well and asked questions when needed. I know they had the best time and would be more than happy to stay again. Thanks, Andrea!!”

About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
