“This is the second week my babies stayed with Christian as I said in my first review she is great! Lots of communication and pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing my 2 babies were being spoiled and taken care of. We'll being using Christian in the future for another upcoming trip.”
“Madison is a sweet girl. We also met her mother who was a very nice lady. They took good care of our puppy for 2 days, we will definately use her again.”
“Penguin love Ms Beverly and her girls! She moved right in for the 4 days we were gone! I know she got so much attention and affection! I gave Ms Beverly a cash tip 🤗”
“Dior loveed being with her and the family, she communicates well and takes pictures throughout the time she was there, we will be booking with her again immediately!!!”
“Rachel was awesome! Freyja had room to run and friends to run with, and I received photos updating me throughout her stay. She's my first choice when I have to go out of town for work.”
“Truly amazing. I reached out to Joseph and Reanalenna the day before a last minute trip and within an hour received a response. Throughout my pups stay i received consistent communication and updates to include pictures! My fur baby was not only well cared for but treated like one of their own.”
“Gabrielle is very nice. First she was very understanding about my arrival time as the traffic accidents in Georgia added hours to our ride to Florida. She was very attentive to my pets to make them feel at home during their stay. The looked wonderful when I picked them up. She did a great job caring for Barb and Lou.”
“Caroline and her mom Marilyn provided a comfortable and caring home-away-from-home for my sweet Leo. I was comforted and entertained by all the great photos Caroline took and forwarded while we were away, and it was evident that Leo was getting a lot of cuddling and ‘lap time,’ which was the main reason I chose to go with a pet sitter rather than a boarding kennel. Leo was so calm and content when we picked him up...I knew he had had a great time! Highly recommend! Thank you:)”
“Brenda was wonderful with my senior dog who needs a bit of extra care. My little one was comfortable and safe with her - and seemed very happy as well. My dog stayed at Brenda’s home. Brenda sent photos and text updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Brenda as a dog sitter!”
“Kendra was great with our Rocket. Kept us updated on his days and sent pictures but didn't go overboard with it. I also appreciated her being flexible with the booking ours that needed to change at one point. Would definitely use again if she is available.”
“Can't recommend Nuttawadee enough! She's watched our pup multiple times now and he's always so happy when she sends pictures of him! Highly recommend.”
“Our dog EeVee had a blast while staying with Carole & David for 3 days! She walked Ev, let her enjoy her sun bathing time outside securely, and safely socialized with neighbor pups. Most of all, Carole fed our pup with packed food, countless rubs and love :) She also updated us Ev’s daily photos and great communication. We couldn’t be happier with Carole taking care of our pup. Ev barely goes to boarding but we can tell she loves and trusts Carole. So do we the pawrents! We will for sure go back next time.”
“Sammy and Quoia were incredible hosts to our pup, Gizmo. He was well taken care of, came home tired and happy and we loved the pics and videos along the way ☺️ we will absolutely be rebooking!”
“A great stay as always! Oliver was so happy to go stay with Sherrie and play with her pups! He knows where he is as soon as we pull up to her house and runs in without looking back! Thank you for loving on him as your own. 10/10 as always!”
“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
“Katya did a great job taking care of Reggie when I went out of town! Communication was excellent and she provided periodic updates and photos showing how much fun he was having! It’s so nice to be able to leave my boy with someone knowing he is so well taken care of!”
“Thank you again for a successful and pleasant boarding experience. It is always good to leave your fur baby with someone she loves going to see and spend time with 👍🏾❤️ 🐶”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.

“Another great visit from Liz! She is so flexible, communicative, and kind. That, alongside her love for animals, makes her the best choice for a pet sitter! Highly recommend!!!”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“When I came home from my trip, my kitten was extremely relaxed and chill. Overall, i could definately tell she was stressed with me being gone, but also extremely comforted by having Meghan drop in! She was extemely normal, happy and elated when I got home. Would recommend Meghan if you want your pet to be in good hands.”
“Incredible cat sitter to our 2 kitties! She is so kind, attentive and professional. I couldn’t ask for someone better to take care of them! Thank you for being the best, Jenn!”
“My babies love Patrick, it's so nice to see them happy when he comes and visits my boys! He is always on time and creates play time with both of them!”
“Amber was terrific with my kitties. She sent lots of pictures showing what they doing and texts keeping us informed of their eating, drinking and playing. She is very conscientious and the house was in great shape when we returned. My cats warmed up to her quickly which is quite unusual and I have booked her for our next trip later in the month.”
“Meredith was wonderful! We needed someone to watch our cat Ollie last minute and she was super responsive and detail oriented. Would def recommend!!”
“Christian is absolutely great! This is the second time she has done drop in visits for us for our 4 kitties. She’s a natural with cats even the shy ones. She takes pictures, follows requests and communicates well. She is our cat sitter for the foreseeing future.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”
“This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️”
“We are so glad to have chosen Danielle to check in on our cat, Mo. She’s a really nice gal and more importantly Mo approved……and he’s not easy to please! She visited everyday and sent us pics. We’d definitely use her services again if we need to!”
“Emily was so awesome with my 2 cats. She always kept me informed on how they were and she even cleaned up their messes. She took time to come do a meet and greet prior. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley took care of our two cats while we were away and ensured that they both had everything they needed! Happy to build a relationship with someone we trust so we can relax while we’re away.”
About: Certainly! Here's a more polished version of your statement: "For the past 18 years, I have devoted myself to caring for cats while managing a pet resort. In addition to providing exceptional care in a professional setting, I also offer in-home services, ensuring that cats receive comfort and attention while their owners are away."

“Jessica’s the best! I drop my dog off twice a week for 12 hours at a time and he always gets so excited to go. She takes him on trails sometimes, but he’s also just so happy being at her house with her and her dogs. They play a lot! I also love the cute pictures and videos she se sends throughout the day!”
“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.”
“Sammy is awesome! She took care of my small pup wonderfully. We picked our dog late due to some unexpected delay at Rocky Mountain, but Sammy kindly understood us. Thank you! Also Ohsam loved playing with Sammy's pup!”
“Amazing dog sitter. My dog receives love and attention with Kristall and she enjoys the company of her dog also. She always has a great time. Thank you for all that you do!”
“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.

Whether it’s long walks (one of my favorite activities!) or providing gentle care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own.

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. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs.

“Emily was WONDERFUL. She helped us at the last minute when we were anxious about taking Zeus back to a less than great boarding facility. Zeus was happy in every picture she sent and I still don’t how she got him to perk his ears each time. He has been calm since we returned and usually he’s anxious and whining. Love Rover and Love Emily. She will be our pick every time especially for walking Zeus in his raincoat.”

About: Hi friends! First let me say, thank you for considering me as a potential caretaker for your fur babies. I take my job very seriously with heart and compassion. I have had a life surrounded by pets ever since I can remember. I have trained German Shepards with my uncle, done volunteer work with kittens and care for three disabled pets of my own currently. I also work at the humane society with many animals in need. At home and work, I am relied on for bathing, feeding, walking, medication and more. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of animals. Thank you for taking the time to review my profile, I hope your needs are perfectly met! My schedule does vary but I am mostly available early mornings and late afternoons however I always keep my calendar updated for so you can get the most accurate bookings. I genuinely care for your pets comfort and believe in treating them with true respect. I am extremely patient and fantastic at deescalating tough situations. I am able to administer medications and crate dogs when needed.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 8 years old, starting off with neighbors and then working in more advanced pet sitting and boarding. I have experience full-time raising a K9s for Warriors pup for over a year that graduated and paired with a local veteran. I also have experience with special needs dogs, their care routines, and medication distribution. I am an active person so I enjoy taking pups on long walks and playing. I am currently a professional athlete training in my off season with time to care and love your pet. Through my experience working with animals I have found I genuinely enjoy having a daily companion. My wife and I have a home with a fenced in backyard, with ample space inside to have a kennel if you practice crate training with your dog. We have a black lab that loves other dogs and a cat. I live in a quiet part of my neighborhood and feel safe walking my dog all the time.

“This is the second week my babies stayed with Christian as I said in my first review she is great! Lots of communication and pictures. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing my 2 babies were being spoiled and taken care of. We'll being using Christian in the future for another upcoming trip.”
“Madison is a sweet girl. We also met her mother who was a very nice lady. They took good care of our puppy for 2 days, we will definately use her again.”
“Dior loveed being with her and the family, she communicates well and takes pictures throughout the time she was there, we will be booking with her again immediately!!!”
“My girls thought it was no big deal that I came back to pick them up, so I guess that says it all. Em and Carl were good with them and gave frequent updates. Recommend”
“Truly amazing. I reached out to Joseph and Reanalenna the day before a last minute trip and within an hour received a response. Throughout my pups stay i received consistent communication and updates to include pictures! My fur baby was not only well cared for but treated like one of their own.”
“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!”
“Gabrielle is very nice. First she was very understanding about my arrival time as the traffic accidents in Georgia added hours to our ride to Florida. She was very attentive to my pets to make them feel at home during their stay. The looked wonderful when I picked them up. She did a great job caring for Barb and Lou.”
“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!”
“Sammy and Quoia were incredible hosts to our pup, Gizmo. He was well taken care of, came home tired and happy and we loved the pics and videos along the way ☺️ we will absolutely be rebooking!”
“My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
“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.”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“I have to say that I won't leave my dogs with anyone else while I am in Jacksonville! Kaitland took care of my dogs as if they were hers with all the love, and my dogs love her back. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”
About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.
About: I grew up on a farm, so I have spent most of my life caring for pets. I currently own one dog named Mackey. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention they need. 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. 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.
“Tyler was fantastic! Our dog had a great time boarding with her. She sent us updates multiple times a day with pictures during our trip. She made sure to let us know how he was doing and what he was up to. We will definitely use Tyler again?”
“Fantastic sitter who was able to wonderfully provide for and take care of our brand new puppy. With little experience with a brand new puppy they provided peace of mind and regular updates. I would definitely use them again and would recommend giving them an opportunity to care for your loved four legged friend!”
