She kept me updated and made sure I knew my puppy was safe and comfortable. I will absolutely be booking Yekaterina again!”
“They were exceptional sitters who kept me up to date everyday. Jasper loved all the playtime and attention he got. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ryan and Maria were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly responsive and sent us tons of videos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they were very caring and great with our dog—he looked so happy and well taken care of the whole time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and attentive pet sitters!”
“Wendy was superb. This was my first time boarding my 4 month old teething golden and was exactly what I was hoping for. I was out of town for 4 days, she was very flexible with my flight delay, sent updates and pictures daily and my boy was excited to see me but sad to leave Wendy cause she took such good care of him. I’m hesitant to trust strangers with my pup but will absolutely be using Wendy again.”
“Carolyn was the perfect sitter to watch our little Rocky! This was the first time I left my precious little chihuahua with anyone, so I was especially nervous, since Rocky is a one owner lap dog. Carolyn set my mind at ease and sent me updates with pictures during Rocky’s 3 day stay with her. I heartily recommend this amazing soul who will care for your pet as if her life depended on it. Thank you, Carolyn, for making my Rocky feel so comfortable away from home.”
“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.”

“This is the 2nd time Maria has watched my baby girl and she did an amazing job. My Jolie was so excited when I dropped her off, she barely looked at me when I left. Thanks again for taking care of her!”
“Lexi provided such loving care for our Sophie girl over the course of a week. Every day she sent photos, updates, and sweet videos. Meeting Lexi, you automatically can sense how wonderful of a caregiver she is to her own pets and how great she’d be with your own. We were so thankful to her: Sophie came back tuckered and happy, and we loved that she made some new friends too! We’d love to book her again!”
“Betsy came back very happy and tired. Usually when I leave her with people she comes back with lots of energy. They truly take the take with the dog and exercise. Also respond very quickly with pictures and updates. Highly recommend”
“Debra was wonderful. I got several updates daily of my pups activities and she was very happy and played a lot. Will definately have Debra watch my dog next time I am out of town!”
“This was our first experience using Rover and Kristin made it amazing. She sent us lots of updates on how Jake was doing during his stay. It was very comforting to see how well he was doing while we were gone. We highly recommend Kristin!”
“Christa is always incredible with our boy! Her communication is great and even was able to drop our dog off at our place so we didn’t have to go pick him up after a long day of traveling. My husband and I highly recommend Christa!”
About: I’ve grown up with many cats and dogs all my life.

I have a fenced back yard, so your pup will have a safe place to play. Happy to crate if you would like or let them roam free at night. Your pup’s comfort and safety is my priority.
“Wow Patti and William are incredible sitters because they truly care. They rescued my beloved Johnny from sitters that did not understand that some feline friends feel threatened by strangers and need time to adjust especially if a rescue with a tough past. Thanks for making my Johnny feel loved. I highly recommend!”
“Julia was great to take care of my cat while I was away on vacation! She was punctual, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure he was doing ok!”
“Heather has been a phenomenal caretaker. Going above and beyond to take care of my cat and even check in on my other pets despite it not being a requirement. From the moment of our meet and greet, Heather has asked questions so she could ensure my pets were at their at-most comfortability while we were away. She gave thorough reports and photos so we were always aware of how our pets were doing and anything abnormal she encountered. I feel good knowing that anytime I need to go out of town in the future, I can look to Heather to take care of my animals.”
“Christa is amazing with my cats! She takes such great care of them, and they love her! Her communication is awesome, she sends photos every day, and we never have to worry when we’re away.”
“Brianna kept us informed on a daily basis for our three cats. It was good to see they were in the care of someone who really cares about animals! We will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since long as I can remember. I’ve had 3 dogs and 3 cats total. I have had experience with baby cats, baby dogs, old dogs, and old cats. I took care of my late 13 year old dog for 2 years by myself. If I ever hear about an opportunity to be with someone’s pet I jump right in! I have dog and cat sat all over Jacksonville and genuinely enjoy it every time. I’m always available for extended stays and available on weekends for walks and drop-ins. I work full time off Bowden Road but live here on San Pablo and spend most of my time on the beach side. In a clients home I would care for the pet as I do my own. When I go to take care of your pets first and foremost I will follow the instructions given to me. On top of that I’ll do anything from playing with them to walking them to simply hanging out with them throughout the day. I find it hard to be around an animal and not show them love! I do have experience with senior cats and dogs and the requirements that may come along with it i.e. administering medication, diapers, possible clean up from accidents etc. Me and my family are also frequent attendees of Brewhound which I am more than happy to take your pet to if you’d like! Any time I can make time for it! No matter when or where I see a pet I will spend time with it, this is just another way for me to see them! In our home we treat our dog like the favorite child! She gets more attention than anyone and is rarely in the crate but we do have one and I can take care of that if needed. Of course in your home, the only expectation is that I treat your pet as my own.
“Jen took such good care of our kitty! We got lots of pictures and updates every day. We are so thankful for Jen and would 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Golden Glades-The Woods
“Tannia and Chris went above and beyond my expectations when caring for my senior girl. They are very accommodating and their knowledge of animals is impressive. They took alot of time listening to my concerns/instructions and followed them carefully. Thank you guys for loving on and caring for my baby.”
“Catherine was a great sitter for Bear! Her dog Maddie was a sweetheart who helped to tire Bear out and be a great companion. She was extremely responsive to messages and sent lots of photos of Bear having a great time at her house. Would definitely have her watch Bear again.”
“Cookie had the best time with Maria! She was really nice and made us all feel very confident about leaving him in her house (which is super nice and clean and super pet -friendly) She sent me pictures and videos of Cookie frequently and sent me updates all the time and I could see from the videos that he felt right at home.We can’t wait to book house sitting and boarding again 😊”
“Yekaterina and her family are amazing! They watched my 8 week old puppy whitney for several days and treated her like family. She sent videos and cute pictures throughout the day and the kids played with my pup and were so good to her. My puppy loved it at their house! 🩷💕”
“As a first-time dog owner, I wasn't sure what to expect from a dog sitter. The moment we walked into Maria's home our dog (who barks at EVERYONE) didn't make a sound, I knew we were in good hands. That alone gave us so much reassurance that he was with the right person. Maria was professional, caring, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and we'll definitely be using her services again!”
About: Hi, we’re Anna and Nick, your neighbors and fellow dog lovers. We have a goldendoodle and three dachshund who love having friends over. They’re all very social and sweet with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Please check out their pet profiles for more info. We offer daycare and overnight stays at our house. Nick and I both work from home and have a flex scheduled. We have plenty of time to give the pups lots of love and attention throughout the day. No kids. We give lots of attention and outside time. Our home is a calm, dog-focused environment. We have a large fenced yard and are outside a lot. We have a pool. While our dogs don’t swim, many of our friends’ dogs love a dip. We don’t mind! We love it. And we won’t leave them unattended.
“Carolyn took great care of my Dustin boy!! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day! Will definitely be using her again to watch my sweet boy. Thank you!”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were great with Ruthie. From pics, I could tell Ruthie had a blast and was well taken care. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times”
“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!”
“JoAnn is the absolute best! I’m a nurse who works long hours and she’s always accommodating of my schedule. My dog Meeko loves going to daycare and I never have to worry when he’s there. She also painted a beautiful portrait of my Meeko that I am so grateful for. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”

“Wendy was so great with Dustin! She kept me updated with pictures all day. Great communication and highly recommend! I will definitely be using her for my coming up trip! Thanks for taking good care of my Dusty!”
“I have never met such a professional and loving dog carer as Suilen. My Teddy simply adored her during his three days staying with her. She sent pictures and videos and I must say it was a pleasure working with Suilen. I would only leave Teddy with her from now on…he had the best time!”
About: I have always grown up and been around dogs and cats. I grew up with big dog breeds and they will always hold my heart, but I currently have a small dog who I love like a human child haha. I’ve been around and helped train puppies and also have experience with older doggies. I accept and love all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a full time remote job , so I am always home! I may go to the gym for an hour but I am never more than 20 minutes away from my house. I have time during my day for long walks and even longer cuddle sessions. I have a larger apartment so accommodate any size doggo and my own small pup to offer some company to yours! I also love to be outside and go on walks so there is no shortage of outside time.

About: We are a family of 3 people who really want to add a dog as a family member but unable to take on the financial responsibility at this time so this might be the next best thing, just genuine love for your pets, no special skills at this time. Currently work from home and have the ability to be very present with your dog. My 2 children have been reminding me that I promised them a dog by the time my son turns 10 and my daughter is 8. I'm just not ready to find my forever dog yet- My son is now 11 and daughter is ready to turn 9 right after Christmas and we have loved having your dogs as a part of our family while you're away! In my home, treating them like our own part of the family. We are a playful family and we like getting out of the house on walks and do things like Riverside Arts Market and the beach. In your home, will follow your guidelines and be just as loving and attentive
“Heather rocks!!! Definitely one of the best walkers. I am so honored to have come across her profile. Her kind personality and friendly attitude towards our fur babies made us realize that they were in good hands. Looking forward to working more with her in the future!”
“Jen was great to have just down the road. She responded quickly and even popped over for an introduction visit which was very professional. I know my dog was in good hands with Jen. I plan to continue to work with her in the future”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’ve been caring for animals most of my life—from chickens and horses to gerbils and rabbits. After moving away from “farm” life, I began fostering dogs while they waited for their forever homes (including a Great Dane!). Now I’m happily settled with a senior chihuahua rescue of my own. I’m located in the Beach Haven area near Mayo Clinic and am happy to travel within the Jacksonville area to provide great care for your pups. I work as an EMT, so I’m calm under pressure, highly attentive, and confident administering medications and noticing changes in behavior. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I bring patience, reliability, and lots of love to every visit. I’ll care for your pup just like you would, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. Use promo code AMANDN11 to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! I work a shift-based schedule, so I usually have extra daytime availability for walks and drop-ins. On days I’m not working, most of the time my availability is wide open! I like to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfy 😊 During drop-ins, I handle potty breaks, water, meals or medications if needed, and of course lots of attention. I treat your home with care, double-check doors and gates, and always make sure your pet is happy before I leave.
About: I’ve been loving on our four legged friends since I can remember! 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!!
“Sharon was great! This was our first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she was so communicative and took good care of our pup while we traveled. We’ll definitely use Rover and request her again.”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover with many years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m 45 years old, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats starting when I was 9 years old, and over the years I’ve cared for cats as well as dogs of all sizes — from tiny 5 lb pups to large dogs over 150 lbs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and nervous, senior and slow-moving, or just loves attention and cuddles, I will treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I have experience with both small and large dogs, multiple-pet households, and cats with different temperaments. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same care and attention I would want for my own. I’m dependable, caring, and comfortable following your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walks, litter box care, playtime, medication reminders if needed, and giving updates so you know your pets are doing well. My schedule allows me to make pet care a priority, and I’m dependable about following each pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to keep pets comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as close as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pets are cared for in the environment they already know. I give dogs and cats attention based on their personality, whether they need active play, gentle care, cuddles, or quiet companionship. Because I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes, from 5 lb dogs to dogs over 150 lbs, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to fit each pet. I treat every pet like family and do my best to make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Thank you! I would love to have you a little consostentlh maybe once or twice a week! Lmk if you have any available evenings throughout the week (late afternoonish). Merry Christmas!”
“Savannah was an excellent dog walker for our 2 very high energy dogs. She was on time and left pics and messages every day. We appreciate how well she took care of them.”
