“Jamilla was absolutely amazing!!! I can’t recommend her enough. She was incredibly thorough and thoughtful in every aspect of her care, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, making sure my cat was not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable and loved. It’s clear she has a natural kindness and attention to detail that sets her apart. I would trust her again in a heartbeat!”
“Cecelia was an absolute fantastic, she took very good care of my fur baby, she kept me updated with pictures and when my dog sitter canceled she responded last minute. She’s a complete lifesaver!!”

“Stephanie was so good with Nina. She definitely made me feel comfortable leaving her in her hands! She was also very accommodating and understanding.”
“5 stars is not a high enough review for Allison!! I will start this by explaining that I am an overprotective, helicopter cat mom, and the idea of leaving my cats had me so anxious and sad, until I had my meet and greet with Allison! Honestly, even from our first texting conversation via the Rover App, Allison had me at ease with her knowledge, her kindness, and her professionalism. As if that all wasn’t enough, Allison made sure to send me wonderful updates and photos that had me laughing/smiling because she captured my fur babies in their full goofy glory! And TO TOP THAT Allison did extra things to ensure that my house was taken care of too, or was ABOVE AND BEYOND anything I could’ve ever asked for and then some!! If you’re like me and are an anxious pet parent, Allison is a great choice to trust with your babies and your home while your away❤️”
“Jasmine is amazing and very well at communicating! She sends multiple pictures and updates during her care and will go above and beyond what is expected with your pet. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“We recently moved to Jacksonville and didn’t have anyone to watch over our senior cat. I was hesitant in using Rover since I’ve always been able to rely on friends to care for her while I’m away. Well Shianne made me a believer. She is fantastic. She sent updates and pictures every day and was wonderful to communicate with. My cat looked so happy while we were away. She even played with her toys which she rarely does these days. When we got home we could tell she was happy and cared for vice being stressed by the routine changes. We will contact her again for our next trip. Thank you Shianne.”
“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She’s my go-to person whenever I need someone I can trust to watch my two cats and ensure that the home is secured while I’m away. She goes above and beyond every time—making sure my cats are not only safe and well-fed, but also happy and loved. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“My babies were well taken care of, almost like i Never left. Kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely book again in the future. Thank you”
“Cassandra was amazing with my frenchie! Very communicative, flexible, and sent photos of the pup which made me see he was in great hands. Would highly recommend!”

“I was worried my dog would have anxiety and a hard time being boarded in a new environment with loud noises, and unfamiliar people. She hasn’t had much human interaction and barks out of fear. I’m so glad i used Rover and met Joseph, my trip was very relaxing, I didn’t have to worry about Bell and her safety at all. I was in full contact with joseph the entire trip and received photos daily. Highly recommend!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jacksonville Heights
“They are amazing! Very flexible with the schedule and they take very good care of my puppy! Even giving a bath here and there and working with him on learning how to behave! She is my babysitter”
About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. We are privately insured with pet care professional insurance (including vet coverage)— for the utmost safety of your loved ones, so that you can rest at ease while away. We are always learning new ways to expand what we can offer to our clients. We strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position. Boarding care is handled by both parties. Most messages are responded to by Mary. Mary does have a standing M-F 3 hour babysitting gig from 1-4, though it often ends early. We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings. We offer a number of services; however, we do not accepts pets from more than one family at a time during boardings so that we can ensure the utmost attention, care and safety of your furry friends. We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.

I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I can use that opportunity to provide plenty of walks and breaks as needed for your pet. Our normal walks occur twice a day in the morning and in the evening with intermittent outside breaks throughout the day. My current dog is indoors. All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.

“Benji has separation anxiety, but you would have never known it once he was with Stephanie! I don’t even think he missed us because he felt right at home with her. It was our first time leaving Benji with someone other than family and Stephanie made us feel at ease providing us with as much communication as we needed to feel comfortable. We appreciate her a lot and I know Benji does too! 🥰 He loved her cuddles and her undivided attention. We will definitely use Stephanie’s services again because we trust her wholeheartedly to take care of our Benji boy the same way we would 🐾”

“Beverly was amazing. She responded straightaway to take my girl so we could go to Cumberland Island for the day. Tinker came home happy and tired. Thanks Beverly! This was my first time using Rover and it was amazing.”
“Kristall was so kind to take our 10 week old pup after a very last minute request. Our pup joined us only 4 days before we realized we needed a sitter for about 5 hours. And I forgot to make a request until the night before. Kristall was friendly, sweet, and immediately good with our pup. She obviously loves dogs. When we picked up our pup, he was happy and looking good. He enjoyed the yard and the love. Kristall was flexible with our a bit uncertain return time, too. I recommend Kristall highly and plan to request her again.”

About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.

About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. We are privately insured with pet care professional insurance (including vet coverage)— for the utmost safety of your loved ones, so that you can rest at ease while away. We are always learning new ways to expand what we can offer to our clients. We strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position. Boarding care is handled by both parties. Most messages are responded to by Mary. Mary does have a standing M-F 3 hour babysitting gig from 1-4, though it often ends early. We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings. We offer a number of services; however, we do not accepts pets from more than one family at a time during boardings so that we can ensure the utmost attention, care and safety of your furry friends. We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.

I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind, ranging from German shepherds to French bulldogs. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors dogs who have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their furry family members. I know how to train puppies with basic commands. I am currently working a part time job, so I have plenty of time on my hands to care for and walk your furry family member Will provide care based on owners preference. If allowed to walk, will remain on leash for safety purposes. If fenced in back yard, will be allowed to roam freely.
About: Hi there! My name is Kate and my husband's name is Josh. We have both been pet owners our entire lives and absolutely love caring for other pets as well as our own 3 (G + Sadie + Toby — Chihuahua Mix + Rat Terrier + Jack Russel Terrier). We own a home in Jacksonville just off 295 on the west side with a large fenced-in backyard and quiet neighborhood. So lots of walking, running around and play time if you were to have your pet stay here with us and our 3 pups! Our babies are typically social but at the very least tolerant of other dogs as long as the dog is not too hyper or trying to mess with them. My husband and I both work from home so your baby(s) will get non stop attention. We only board small to medium size dogs (less than 30 pounds, some exceptions - feel free to ask). Your dog(s) must get along with other dogs or at least tolerate them. All dogs are separated at feeding times. We are used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications including injectables. With our flexible schedule, we will have plenty of time to walk, play and/or love your pet(s). Our home is extremely safe and doors are always locked (even when we are home). Our neighbors are all extremely nice. Our dogs typically lay on the couch, in their dog beds in our office or on our bed. All get lots of love, pets and treats every day 🙂
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with them and can happily accommodate their needs. I’m ready to help out in any way that I can, and my schedule is very flexible! My schedule is extremely flexible, I’m never away from home for more than a couple hours at a time, so your pet will get lots of quality time and attention. I have a fenced yard so your dog will have lots of space to play, but will always be leashed and supervised. There’s also a dog park down the road from me for additional playtime and social time if your pet prefers! The house is already pet-proofed and dogs are welcome on the couch and in the bed.
About: I ve taken care of different types of dogs since I was 15 my friend and neighbors have always relied on me to take care of their furry friends where I always assure that they always go for 3 walks a day, have quality play time with me, and be cuddle and cozy all the time you are away ♥️ Most of my work is from home! So I will spend the maximum amount of time with your best friend, playing, walking and lots of cuddles 🥰 normally I take the dogs for a walk, I come back ready to give them breakfast and food prepared for them; at the middle of the day I take them for a second walk and in the way back I hide some treats around the house to keep them entertained (if the dog have separation anxiety I get sure to get a lick mat to help them with that) in the afternoon night I have enough time to play with them after the last walk with a ball and more.
“Shianne is always so wonderful and so helpful! We've booked her a few times for our 3 wild pups (and our kitties) and she always goes above and beyond. I can't recommend her enough. :)”
About: I have always been around dogs and animals in general growing up. I always knew I had a love for animals and I am extremely passionate about helping others so I have been babysitting and dog sitting since I was a teenager. I have volunteered at various places such as group homes and foundations throughout my teens as well. I am an entrepreneur, so I can plan to your needs accordingly. I can work Monday-Sunday preferably in the mornings and afternoons, but I am flexible and am willing to work out a schedule throughout the week. I would like to have a day in advance notice but I am open to same day offers as well. :) I offer compassion, patience and joy to my client’s pets. I am energetic and will fulfill the needs of your pets, no matter the environment. I often think how I would like a pet service done & do so precisely, respecting your pets & property.

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!”

About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.
“Sullie loved her stay at Claudia's. Claudia made Sullie feel comfortable and at home. We loved receiving updates and pictures via text throughout her stay. Thank you, Claudia, and we will see you again in a couple of weeks!”
“I had never used Rover or left my pups with a stranger before and Haylie was a great first experience! She sent updates with pictures and eased my fears about leaving our pup. I could tell Maggie had a good time and was well cared for because when I picked her up, she was comfortable around Haylie and wanted to follow her back into the house. I definitely recommend Haylie for pet sitting!”
“I was very grateful that she accepted my last-minute request. My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. She responded quickly to messages, provided updates when I asked, and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Alyssa was wonderful with our Winston! She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on everything. Winston was very comfortable with Alyssa. Would definitely recommend and book with again! Thank you!!!”
