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).
“This is the first time I have used Debra and I have NO REGRETS!!! The meets and greet went well and the one night stay for our mini labradoodle (Andy) went very well. Plenty of pictures and our Andy seemed to enjoy himself. She was attentive to our comments when we dropped the dog off and provided feedback when we picked up the dog. We have booked Debra to provided service for us for two weeks while we are away in February, we now have peace of mind concerning the care for our Andy. Thanks for the very professional service.”
“Katya was beyond amazing. She took fantastic care of my dog, provided daily updates, and kept my mind at ease the whole time. She was so kind and flexible when I had travel issues. She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend”
“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.”
“Skylar really enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn and Andrew. She was well cared for and I received frequent picture updates. I will definitely use them again when the need arises. Thank you so much.”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“Yekaterina was an amazing sitter! This was my first time boarding my 10-month-old kitten, and also the longest I have been away from my kitten since getting her. Yekaterina was so sweet in reassuring me my kitten would be well taken care of and genuinely felt better after dropping her off. She has a beautiful and clean home. She sent LOTS of photos, she gets it! She even sent me videos, which made me feel so much better about how my cat was feeling. I would trust her again with my fur baby.”
“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.”
“Charlayda is a great sitter. When I first mat with her I got a good vibe from her. I knew right at that moment I had made the right decision for her to watch my baby Ms. V. Layda took great care of Ms. V and she took lots of photos! I would definitely have her watch her again!”
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.
“Hannah and her husband were super responsive, flexible, and we could tell our dog really enjoyed her nearly week-long stay. Our dog is afraid of fireworks and storms and they were able to help her be very comfortable despite it being a stormy 4th of July weekend! We returned to a very happy and relaxed dog. They sent photos and even a video during her stay, and we felt totally at ease that she was 100% well taken care of and given lots of love.”
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
“Tyler and Christopher took such great care of Maia. They shared updates through the entire stay and she was busy getting snuggles, play time and exercise. She came back so happy and relaxed! They even gave her a ball she really liked”

About: I live in a home with a fenced-in yard. I have 7 animals of my own (2 dogs, 4 cats, and a bearded dragon) and I live with 2 other furbaby spoilers (1 works at the humane society!). I also work from home, so I can be very flexible. I promise to send you silly/cute moments of their vacation 🥰 I work from home, so I am very flexible. I also have a fenced-in yard. I can follow just about any routine your pets are used to. I’m big on furbaby cuddles! While I’m watching them, they will get all the nose boops and scratches they want! 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 :)
“Lesly was a phenomenal sitter! She was available to watch my 2 kitties at the last minute and was very responsive and thorough. She sent me updates and pictures and made me feel so at ease while staying at my apartment. I would highly recommend booking with her for any device you need!”
“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!”
“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 had my own dog for the past 3 years, so I understand the real ups and downs of daily dog care from energetic playtime to calm routines and everything in between. Being a dog owner has taught me patience, responsibility, and how important it is to pay attention to each dog’s individual needs and personality. I treat every pet I care for like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time so that gives me flexibility to provide attentive and reliable care for your pet.

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.

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.

Whether it's a visit, a walk, or play I would love to help.

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.”
“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! 🐶🐾🎀”
“My doggy had a wonderful time with Charlayda, and it was so nice to hear from her every now and then!

Very happpy with her service and communication”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my entire life, and will someday adopt more when my job allows! But, for the time being, I would love to have the opportunity to play with and care for your pet! I love to exercise, and what better exercise is that with a loving animal? I pet-sit, board, and walk both cats and dogs. I love all animals and will pet and play with your beloved pet! I am very responsible and the safety of your pet is guaranteed. My home is pet friendly and has a fenced lawn for playing and potty breaks. I have dog toys and treats on standby, and look forward to hearing from you and your pet- big or small! I am working part time and can watch your pup most weekends! I am gone between 3-6 hours during the weekday and can be home all day on the weekends if need be. I have a fenced yard and a medium sized crate with lots of dog treats and toys. All bathroom breaks are conducted in the fenced backyard and all walks are on a leash. There is a dog park nearby that I will only use with owner permission

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: What started as a favor for a couple friends… turned into an opportunity. I’ve been dog sitting and house sitting for two friends of mine for 5+ years. The duration of the stay would vary between 2 days and 3 weeks. One household was 2 floors with 3 bedrooms that had 3 large huskies to take care of. The second household was also 2 floors with 3 bedrooms that had 1 large dog and 1 small dog to take care of. I’m skilled in administering medication without any issues. I’m originally from Indiana and living in Florida until I decide to move down here! That means I am free whenever to help families and people with their homes and pets! I am more than happy to be welcomed into your space and take care of whatever needs you may have. I have a huge suv perfect for at least 3 pups to climb into for an adventure.

About: Hi! I'm Jytah, an active-duty U.S. Navy Sailor and lifelong animal lover. My pet care journey has been a furry rollercoaster spanning over 15 years. From navigating the wrinkles of a Shar-Pei to decoding the regal demands of a half-Persian cat, I've learned that every pet has their own unique personality, routines, and quirks. I spent a decade caring for a Shar-Pei, followed by several years with a half-Persian cat, and later became fluent in corgi communication while managing the famous low-rider double-leash tango. Along the way, I've gained experience in everything from medication schedules and grooming routines to hairball diplomacy and expert belly-rub distribution. As an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy, reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail are part of my everyday life. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. Whether your furry family member enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine while you're away, my goal is to provide a safe, stress-free, and loving experience for both pets and their humans. I work a stable daytime schedule and have evenings, weekends, and many holidays available for pet care. My routine allows me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding schedules, and companionship for your pets. I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, ensuring your pet receives reliable care and attention throughout their stay. As an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy, responsibility, accountability, and attention to detail are a part of my daily life. I understand how important trust is when leaving a beloved family member in someone else's care. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and any special requirements provided by pet owners. Regular updates, photos, and communication are always available for your peace of mind.
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.
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: 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).
“This is the first time I have used Debra and I have NO REGRETS!!! The meets and greet went well and the one night stay for our mini labradoodle (Andy) went very well. Plenty of pictures and our Andy seemed to enjoy himself. She was attentive to our comments when we dropped the dog off and provided feedback when we picked up the dog. We have booked Debra to provided service for us for two weeks while we are away in February, we now have peace of mind concerning the care for our Andy. Thanks for the very professional service.”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“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.”

“Hannah and her husband were super responsive, flexible, and we could tell our dog really enjoyed her nearly week-long stay. Our dog is afraid of fireworks and storms and they were able to help her be very comfortable despite it being a stormy 4th of July weekend! We returned to a very happy and relaxed dog. They sent photos and even a video during her stay, and we felt totally at ease that she was 100% well taken care of and given lots of love.”
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Emma made it effortless with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and accommodating to watch your pet, Emma is absolutely a 10/10. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“Andrea and David were great. I need someone last minute and they were grateful to help. They provided updates on Bella and made me feel comfortable with being away from her.”
“Boarding my 2 dogs with Andrea was the best decision I could have made with the circumstances! My husband and I went out of the country and had no service so we would not have been able to keep in touch in case of emergency or accident which did make us nervous based on previous experiences, however, Andrea did a meet and greet with us before our trip and was super understanding about the situation. She still sent daily updates and pictures and videos that I was able to see upon return. She took the time to give feedback on things that worked for her as a sitter to overcome obstacles that came along with our dogs! She was very knowledgeable when it came to caring for them and did an amazing job with their medical needs as well as general needs! She was transparent with us and I could tell that our dogs were comfortable with her and had a good time while we were away. I will DEFINITELY be booking with Andrea again in the future.”
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.
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
