“Our dog spent a week with Linda and the two of them fell in love with each other! Linda was so kind and caring and followed though with all our requests for our very spoiled baby. She even sent us pictures of the two of them together. We'll definitely have her take care of our dog in the future.”
“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”

“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”
“Asia was amazing! This was only our second time boarding our dog and the longest we’ve been away from him and we couldn’t be happier. Looking forward to using Asia’s services again in the future.”
“Christian was amazing! From all the picture and video updates, to her updating me on how my baby Kayo was doing, how good he was, and she even took him out to a park for walks! Christian treated my furbaby like he was her own, down to her cooking my baby boy some food! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve booked with other people before but I have never felt this secure with leaving my baby! If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to book with her because I promise you, your furbaby will be in the best care. Thank you so much for loving on Kayo, he seemed sad to leave his new friends lol. We will definitely be booking again!”

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).
“AWESOME stay for my son Fitch. He really enkoyed himself and her home made it really easy for him to love it there! Her dog also made Fitch be abke to have someone to chase around. I strongly recommend her and will be using her again!!”

Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and caring. I look forward to helping your pet feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for!
“Chyna is an exceptional dog sitter! She has always been kind, prompt, and reliable. When my dog had an emergency, she didn’t hesitate to take her to the emergency vet, showing true care and responsibility. She also keeps me updated with plenty of pictures, which gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“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!”
“so sweet and kind!!! constant updates throughout my time away, felt very comfortable, and I can tell he really enjoys taking care of fur babies ❤️ thank you ! Will definitely come back !”
“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.”
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.
“Loved having William and his wife take care of my little girl! He sent me pictures and videos of her during her stay which I have never been given before and I’ve always asked! Will definitely be bringing her back! :)”

About: I have had alot of older dogs and large to small dogs. I adore larger dogs. My 107lb Rescue dog just passed after having him 7 years and Me and my Yorkie miss him. I grew up with big dogs. I have a big yard and a big heart and work from home. I work from home and most the time I let my dog go in and out the house all day. I have a safe back yard in the country with lots of running room. I would love your dog as it was my own. I care for animals as they are babies. Come meet me you will see. I have thought of adopting another dog but thought I would love yours instead.
About: Hi there! I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic pups and cuddly cats to chatty parakeets and even a hedgehog or two! I’ve personally cared for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 parakeets, providing each with a loving, attentive home. Over the years, I’ve also looked after countless pets for friends and family, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or something in between, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I specialize in multi-pet households and understand how to balance different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime in the yard, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure each one feels safe, seen, and loved. With me, your pets get a caregiver who’s full of positive energy, patience, and a whole lot of heart. As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a large portion of my day to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need to feel happy and comfortable. Please note: During house sits, I spend the majority of my time at your home, making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. The only exception is that Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I am typically away for work from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I'm dedicated to spending quality time with your pets and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. If your booking is made more than a week in advance (or with at least one week's notice), I may be able to adjust my work schedule to provide even more availability. Feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them like family. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide the most comfortable and familiar environment possible. In the client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and your pet’s usual schedule, whether that means feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time with them. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your pets), and make sure everything is just as you left it.

I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise, as well as a fenced-off area and the option to create a private space for animals who prefer their own quiet corner. My home also features a loft area designed for cats to relax and mingle, but I can provide a secluded space if they need extra privacy or time to adjust. I make sure every pet feels special by giving them individual attention, lots of love, and the care they deserve. I also enjoy taking photos of the pets in my care, so you’ll receive plenty of updates to see how much fun they’re having.

About: Our family has always included pets. I will be incomplete without them. I have foster and rescue many cats. And I have trained our dogs for service work. All of this has provided me with unique knowledge about grooming, behavior, breeds specific, and training for animals. I'm excited to offer your pet the same level of care than ours. I respect pets like a family member. And through this sitting I am hoping to grow our resources to keep giving back to shelters and other pets in need. I am are currently working from home. And spend my days inside. So your pet will have company 24/7. My family have a very quiet lifestyle and will accommodate to any routine necessary. I offer personalized environment for our sitting pets. Since we have the space, if you have a shy pet they can be in a quite room by themselves and be accompanied as they like. Or if is playful it can hang around playing with our kittens. We do leave them the first night in their own space to accommodate. And if you like we can transition them into the general space.

About: I grew up in a pet friendly house since the age of 4. Me and my siblings had dreams of becoming vetnarians. I'm always home and spend that one on one with each pet individually. Getting them that attention is always priceless! I have a large front and back yard with room to run, large garage area that we are converting into room but currently serves well where dogs are allowed to be free to these play areas! Pets love the extra exercise! My pets are very comfortable with being in and out of the house they are fully aware that they are a part of the way I live everyday 🥰 I have pets of my own so it automatically becomes natural to have a routine with them they live inside so they routinely go out throughout the day at least 4 times as well as play time ☺️🥰

I have had 2 dogs in the past, a German Shepherd for 10 years and a Beagle for 2 years. They were amazing dogs. I currently work in weekdays until 3PM. I do not work on weekends. I spend most of my time at home after work and this will allow me look after the dog always. I have a two story house with a fence patio and plenty of room. I have blanket to cover my furniture for the dog to relax on.

Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. Currently work a Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm schedule . But don’t have other schedules or priorities typically outside of that so will be available. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the home. The neighbors have a sweet beagle dog. That will come for a visit if you allow for them to play.
About: Hi there! I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic pups and cuddly cats to chatty parakeets and even a hedgehog or two! I’ve personally cared for 4 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 parakeets, providing each with a loving, attentive home. Over the years, I’ve also looked after countless pets for friends and family, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet is furry, feathered, or something in between, you can count on me to treat them like one of my own. I specialize in multi-pet households and understand how to balance different needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime in the yard, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure each one feels safe, seen, and loved. With me, your pets get a caregiver who’s full of positive energy, patience, and a whole lot of heart. As someone who works part-time, I have the flexibility to dedicate a large portion of my day to pet care. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, love, and activity they need to feel happy and comfortable. Please note: During house sits, I spend the majority of my time at your home, making sure your pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. The only exception is that Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays I am typically away for work from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I'm dedicated to spending quality time with your pets and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. If your booking is made more than a week in advance (or with at least one week's notice), I may be able to adjust my work schedule to provide even more availability. Feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat them like family. I always take time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and preferences so I can provide the most comfortable and familiar environment possible. In the client’s home, I stick closely to your instructions and your pet’s usual schedule, whether that means feeding, walking, administering medication, or just spending quality time with them. I’m respectful of your space, clean up after myself (and your pets), and make sure everything is just as you left it.
About: Hi! I’m Erin — a new stay-at-home mom and online college student, which means I’m home most of the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and supervision. I’ve always believed pets are family, and they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved even when you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care for both cats and dogs, always following your pet’s routine as closely as possible so their days stay happy and stress-free. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs patience, I adjust to their personality and comfort level. Your pet’s safety is my top priority — doors stay secure, feeding instructions are followed carefully, and I monitor behavior closely to keep their environment calm and comfortable. In between doing online school and being a SAHM to my four month old I have my own cat I take care of and have dog sat for family and friends as well. For dogs I ensure they are fed, have water, and are brought out to use the bathroom multiple times a day and with cats I deep clean litter boxes and clean them daily and ensure they are fed and have water at the same time everyday.

About: I am currently in the process of getting my dog training certificate. I have had Labradors my entire life, from puppies to seniors, but love all breeds and cat breeds. Rover would currently be my full-time job due to the flexibility. I am available scheduling from 10am-4pm. Available any day of the week. My priority as your animal sitter would be to maintain their regular routine, while providing a safe and loving stress free environment. I am willing to send updates and photos as needed.

About: * DUE TO COVID I WILL BE WEARING A MASK AND GLOVES UPON ENTERING THE HOME* I’ve grown up with pets all my life and have a dog and 2 cats of my own. When I first tried Rover I was so nervous but ended up finding someone great it makes sense that if I was cautious to try then other people are too. I’m excited to take care of pets the way I want mine cared for. I believe that pets are family and leaving pets at home can be scary but my dog was so relaxed being able to stay where she is familiar with her surroundings and to just come home and jump back in to routine was a good feeling. It will be my personal goal to provide reassurance to both you and your companion while you’re away. At the beginning of 2022 I decided I wanted to be a dog trainer and am currently trying enrolled with Animal Behavior College to come a certified trainer. With this I've also completed the CPR certification for cats and dogs. My full time job was able to give me Fridays and Saturdays for the more likely chances for myself to give the care to family pets that I want for my animals. With my services I always do a check or other possible dogs around. If I am unable to cross the street of a passerby with a dog and safely I do so because I do not know the other dog well enough to know if it is okay. However if I am in a situation where I do have to pass another dog I speak up and ask if the dog is friendly while also being away of the pet I'm walking and how he or she is approaching.
About: I pay a lot of attention to detail, especially in routine, and what to give a person for his or hers specific needs! Also want as much information as possible to make sure your fur baby is comfortable! I’ve worked with puppies/kittens all the way up to senior animals! I do not work full work days (Only about six hours a day and only on the weekdays) I’m home every night and all weekend. My Home is set up as pet safe for any fur baby! I have transportation means to transport any fur baby, for dogs if you sign up for a longer walk I can make a trip to the dog park if you would like! (no additional cost and no restrictions) I have a camera to check up on all fur babies and I’m able to go home if anything is needed! I have my own dog, she is crate trained and leash trained (I have a spare room (basically a pet fun room) in my house so if it’s necessary any animals can be kept separate). I am in an apartment but I always make some car trips to the dog park about 4/5 days a week (and if requested for no additional cost) I also go on constant walks around the neighborhood every 3ish hours (besides when I work/sleep)
About: Hello, I am a lover of all animals!! I've had the most experience with dogs and cats!! I have 2 cats and a dog! My availability is flexible and open. I am a jack of all trades and am looking to help those in need. I know what it's like to go on vacation and need someone trustworthy to care for my own pets!! I am very loyal and very loving. I am also a mother of twins so multitasking is natural for me. I love the outdoors and going for walks. I also have a very clean, non-smoking house with a fenced in yard. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you!! I have a very flexible schedule at this time so I’m able to work around your pet’s needs. This is a part time job for me.

About: I have been caring for animals since I could talk, I currently have one dog named Layla (1yr old) and I do foster with the humane society from time to time! Age, special needs, size, etc doesn’t matter, I love them all the same! Though I can’t promise I won’t fall in love with your fur babies. What I can promise is to take the best care I can of them and help you out whenever you are busy or just need a break, I am young yes, but that won’t stop me from doing the very most in taking care of animals. If you need to reach me, text is always better than calling. I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you so much.

“Marlena was absolutely amazing with our dog, Winnie! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Marlena sent us daily updates and adorable pictures that showed how happy and comfortable Winnie was the entire time. It’s clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. Winnie came back happy, healthy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Marlena is the best! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and loving to watch their pup.”

Christian treated my furbaby like he was her own, down to her cooking my baby boy some food! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I’ve booked with other people before but I have never felt this secure with leaving my baby! If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate to book with her because I promise you, your furbaby will be in the best care. Thank you so much for loving on Kayo, he seemed sad to leave his new friends lol. We will definitely be booking again!”

“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”
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).

“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!”
“so sweet and kind!!! constant updates throughout my time away, felt very comfortable, and I can tell he really enjoys taking care of fur babies ❤️ thank you ! Will definitely come back !”
“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.”
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.

“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.”
