“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.”
“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.”
“Wendy took great care of our Teddy while we were away. Will definitely use her again. Super responsive, sent pics every day, and helped with some logistical issues as well.”
“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”
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).
“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!”
“Annie and Mobie had a great time with Larry! Running around in the huge shaded backyard with other dogs to play with and squirrels to chase was a fun vacation for them. Larry sent pictures and updates. Totally trust my dogs with Larry!”
“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!”
“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 ❤️”
“Andrea was great! I could tell the Breck loved staying with her. She was giving me updates and sending pictures all throughout his stay so I always knew how he was doing. I highly recommend Andrea for a sitter”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 😊”

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.

“Carrie must also be a cat whisperer. My cat is usually skittish around people she is unfamiliar with. BUT Carrie posted pictures of her out and about when she dropped in. Would definitely recommend ROVER.COM and Carrie S as a caretaker!!!”
About: I am very fond of pets. My family is full of them, so I am no stranger to care and provide a safe environment. I am here to help. 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 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.

If they’re on a potty schedule, I’ll set timers to make sure I don’t miss it. If not, I love figuring out what their cue is to go outside :)

I am currently working a full-time job, and my schedule changes every week so availability changes and varies.

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!

Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted their loved ones in my care since I was a kid and now I have my own four legged friend who I love with my entire heart! It’s true when they say, “Pets are family!” I’ve kept schedules of walks, medicine administration to all ages, play time, snuggle time, had many sleepovers in the owners home to having their loved one stay with me in my home; and yes even reading a bedtime story to a furry friend! I always enjoy taking pictures of your loved one so you can put your mind at ease knowing they are in great hands! Let me love your loved one like he/she is my own family! I currently have a very wide open schedule! Therefore, I have a lot of time for your loved one! Any day, time, or place I’ll be there! Send ‘Rover’ over! With my past dogs, I would care for them daily. I woke up to snuggles and kisses and often times, I'd go walk the dogs before I even went to the bathroom lol. They were my best friends! We loved to play, go for walks, or at times I'd even tell them stories like they knew what I was talking about haha. Dogs are like children. I wouldn't treat your dog any differently than mine, which means they would be treated as family!!

“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! 🐶🐾🎀”

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!”

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!”
“Suilen is amazing!! Dustin is so happy and comfortable in her home! She kept me up to date throughout the day with text and pictures of Dustin. Highly recommend and will be using her for future daycare.”

“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: Lifelong dog owner • Australian Shepherd mom at heart • Big believer in adventure and enrichment. Beach runs, open fields, and lots of love included. As a Navy sailor, I know how difficult time away from your dog can be. My goal is to make sure your pup lives a full life even when you’re away. I am currently working a full-time job, and my schedule changes every week so availability changes and varies. If you need someone to take your dog on a walk right before you get home from work, or you are going on a weekend trip, I’m more then happy to take care of your fur baby!! As of right now, I am offering dog walking service, and also day visits. I will respect your home, and your animals. I want to offer the best experience I can while checking in to see your pup or getting their energy out from taking them on a nice walk to get out of the home!
About: I have grown up with dogs of my own and cared for animals for many years. I love animals especially dogs. I have one dog of my own named Lilo. I recently moved to the area and would love to get to know you and your fur babies! I am a teacher so I can provide pet care evenings/weekends/ school breaks. I am happy to do overnights as well if I can bring my dog. I can care for dogs overnight if I can bring my dog. She is a small wire silk hair dachshund & gets along with other dogs.
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. I would be staying at your house. I believe this helps your pets feel more comfortable in their daily routines that are already established. 🐾

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: At my home and when in my care, I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. Personally I have experience in caring for my own dog Sadie since I was 12, as well as many other foster dogs. My friend has fostered many at his house and I have helped him clean messes made in the house, taken the dogs out for walks, and given them some much needed love by showing them my affection. I am very flexible on my availability come the new year (2019) as I am only taking two classes at my university. Furthermore, a special skill I have includes experience with pregnant dog mothers. I helped my family dog Lucy give birth and feed her 12 pups up to their adoptions.

“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.”
“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.”
“Wendy took great care of our Teddy while we were away. Will definitely use her again. Super responsive, sent pics every day, and helped with some logistical issues as well.”
“Our dog enjoyed another great week-long stay with Hannah! From the moment we dropped her off, our dog was so excited to come stay with them again that she didn’t even look back. She seemed completely at peace with the love and treats she got at her home away from home for the week. They sent pics and funny updates throughout her stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to board her again with them. Highly recommended!”
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).
“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!”
“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 ❤️”
“Andrea was great! I could tell the Breck loved staying with her. She was giving me updates and sending pictures all throughout his stay so I always knew how he was doing. I highly recommend Andrea for a sitter”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jerome and his sweet shepherd girl took great care of our Prairie girl. Nice fenced yard for the girls to run and play together. Jerome S. sent great action photos of Prairie with her new best friends. It is comforting to be able to find terrific pet care takers through Rover.com.”
“Absolutely amazing!!! We reached out to Charlayda at the last minute before going out of town for vacation and she squeezed us in for a meet and greet. During the meet and greet, Charlayda took the time to ask questions about Rose to make sure she would be a great fit and that she could provide excellent care based on Rose's needs. Very flexible with pick up and drop off. We were away for 8 days and Charlayda sent multiple pictures, videos and updates daily that made us smile as well as let us know she was in great hands. We will definitely use her service in the future and I highly recommend Charlayda!!!”
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.
About: Had dogs since I was a little kid, had a yellow lab myself, would love to have my own but can't right now due to work, but can definitely have them during the weekend. Most weekends I stay local in Jacksonville, I love to go out to the beach and for walks on trails. My weekends are pretty open. My week days are taken by work but free friday-sunday. My home, got a fenced in yard, plenty of space to play fetch and run around. We could be outside playing or inside catching a movie and relaxing.
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
