“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.”
“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!”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use 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.”
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.
“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
“Mary was phenomenal to say the least. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. She was so kind to share her home with our dog. She showed him constant love and attention and sent regular updates to me. She even sent him home with some extra toys! Selfishly I wish I could keep her on retainer if I could. Lol but I will absolutely rebook for my next trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Jason was great with my dogs! They had a wonderful time and got plenty of playtime and attention while in his care. I felt comfortable knowing they were well looked after, and they came home happy and tired. I would definitely use Jason again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“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.”

“Hirono is an absolute rock star and we are so happy we found her to check in on our cat for us when we are away for several days at a time. You can tell she is a true cat lover. She is super dependable, easy to work with, remembers things well, and we LOVE that she always sends us several pictures and an update when she comes to visit our cat. We have a super shy cat, yet he warmed up to her very quickly, so she has been a perfect fit for what we needed. She will continue to be our first call when we need someone to care for our cat. Thanks for everything, Hirono!”
“Lexi sat for our kitties just a couple of weeks ago (the weekend before Thanksgiving), and we found ourselves needing a sitter again almost immediately. Because it's December, we were worried that the holidays would make it difficult to book Lexi again so soon.... but she was available, and she was once again terrific. Both of our cats like her very much, and she takes excellent care of them and of the house. We both retired recently, and are planning to travel more in 2026 -- we are hoping Lexi will be available for when we are away. :-)”

“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! 🐶🐾🎀”

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: 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).
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 ☺️🥰

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.
“Faith did great at walking my dog , she gave him a long hour long walk around my neighboorhood. He came back tired which was what i wanted ! she was very communicative as well will definitely reebok!”

“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I love meeting new animals! i’ve rescued cats and dogs and even volunteered at the shelter for over a year! i work part time but im available any time im not working! :) i’ve worked with all sorts of dogs including high energy, puppies, and senior dogs. i’m also able to work with dogs that are reactive! i am available to give medication as well! i currently work a full-time job so i need to know in advance about petsitting in case i am working! that way i can see if it can be worked out! i like to meet the dog calmly and maybe give them a treat so that they know they can trust me, i also like to know about the dogs behavior and how they are around other people’s cats/animals!

“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.”
“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!”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use 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.”
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.
“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
“Mary was phenomenal to say the least. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. She was so kind to share her home with our dog. She showed him constant love and attention and sent regular updates to me. She even sent him home with some extra toys! Selfishly I wish I could keep her on retainer if I could. Lol but I will absolutely rebook for my next trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Jason was great with my dogs! They had a wonderful time and got plenty of playtime and attention while in his care. I felt comfortable knowing they were well looked after, and they came home happy and tired. I would definitely use Jason again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Shannon took great care of our sweet Sophie!! Appreciated the updates she gave and knowing that Sophie was having a wonderful time with her, other doggy friends, and her family.”
“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.”
“Kelly was great!! We just boarded our pup with her for the first time and couldn’t be happier - we received daily updates, he was well cared for and truely surrounded by love. We are so excited to finally have a good spot that we can trust to watch our pup and a great overall place that our baby enjoys!!”
“Christian is great! Mulligan loves staying with her and her pups. Christian was very responsive and was always sending pictures and updates during his stay.”
“Charlayda (Lay) was truly a blessing. My partner and I were driving down from New York and needed someone to sit for both our cats. Charlayda accommodated me and my partner on such short notice (and went above and beyond for us). One of my cats peed in their carrier bag and Charlayda cleaned not only my cats but the bag as well. What we loved most about Charlayda was how she kept us updated with text and pictures of our cats. It definitely eased our minds and we couldn’t have been happier. We will definitely be using Charlayda in the near future and I highly recommend her and her services. She’s very attentive, caring, and you can honestly tell she genuinely has a passion for animals. Thanks again for everything.”
“Max enjoyed his stay with her - our first time. I could tell that she really loves dogs, and she let him sleep on the bed with her. I'm very happy with the service, and we'll be rebooking!”
“I can’t describe how great our and Buddy’s experience with Cindee was. It shows that she genuinely loves dogs and just wants to make your pup happy. Communication was great and Buddy loved her home. He had a huge back yard to run around and lounge in the sun. Buddy had some stomach issues during his stay and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable. More than that, she’s just a fun person that we enjoyed throughout the whole experience. We would love to bring Buddy back any time she would have him. Thanks, Cindee!”
“Ms. Kelly is really positive and friendly. She is communicative & Lila was in great form when we picked her up. i wouldn't hesitate to book with Ms. Kelly again.”
