“Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated regularly and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Would 100p recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Em was so incredible to work with! I booked pretty last minute with her and had rather an odd request and she was so accommodating. She gave us updates during our pup's stay with her and sent us photos. She was incredibly easy to contact and she truly went above and beyond for us during a very busy wedding weekend. It gave me such a huge peace of mind to know that my dog was loved, safe, and well cared for while in Em's care. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
“Simply put, my dog is always happy when I drop her off with Caroline!!! Caroline treats her amazingly well, she feels right at home. She always comes back to us looking well rested. I always get a daily updates of how she is doing with lots of pictures. The stays have lasted anywhere from 4 to 10 days. finding Carolyn has really taken the stress out of having to finda reliable, safe place for our pet while our family travels.”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“Cynthia is great and took excellent care of my two pups. I received updates and pictures and I could tell the pups were having fun. I’ll be a return customer.”
“My old boy Harley stayed with Nhi for 2 days. Nhi followed all of my instructions concerning Harley's care. She was very loving with her care for him. She really went above and beyond to do her very best for Harley. You will not find a better person to care for beloved family member.”
“My first time ever using rover app, was a bit skeptical. But Kenneth made my skepticism go away by how professional , helpful, and communicative he was.”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“I’m so glad I found Christian ? she’s is such sweetheart and took care of my baby like her own! I’ve never been more comfortable leaving my puppy with someone than with her! She kept me posted the whole time with pictures and even teaching Miley some tricks ? I highly recommend her and I’m definitely trusting her my baby again ?”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“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.”
“Our 2 adult pups were well cared for by Adriana while we were away. She kept us updated to their daily activities with both photos and videos. Our lab mix really enjoyed escaping the July heat with dips in the pool. We would definitely consider booking with Adriana again in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bogey’s New Favorite Human! We’re so thankful to have found Edward B. for our English Lab, Bogey. He can be a bit bougie (especially about his water—filtered only, of course 😄), and Edward embraced his quirks with so much love and patience. We got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little notes that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust 100% with our pup. Thank you, Edward , for loving Bogey like your own. We’ll absolutely be booking again!!”
“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!”
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Larickya was wonderful with my fur babies. She will treat them like they are hers. She will spoiled them and love on them like you love on them. I can tell my babies had a great time with her too. Thank you so much for everything you did for them!”
“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”

“Risa was so easy to work with! Her response time was quick, scheduling was easy, and she did everything asked of her. My cat seemed happy when we returned and our place was in great shape. Would definitely recommend!”
“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”
“We couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing care Taylor gave our kitties while we were out of town! She was so caring, dependable, and attentive, and knowing she was checking on them made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. She even took the time to clean up and revive one of our plants, which was so thoughtful and appreciated! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we came home to happy cats and a happy plant. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”

“Tania was straight forward, it was very easy to meet her and hire her. She made constant contact when showing go to my property to check in on my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend and book her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
“Kristie is awesome! She followed all the instructions I left, took great care of my shy little cat, and even kept me updated with friendly messages. I felt super confident leaving Mia in her care and would absolutely trust her again!”
“CJ was awesome! I didn’t realize that I was almost out of cat food in the feeder. CJ messaged me, got the food needed (special diet that has to be picked up from the vet), and reloaded the feeder. I called the vet with my card to pay for it but the service was amazing. She sent me pics of my cat and the food, water, and litter. Great service! Above and beyond!”
“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. ☺️”
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
About: I have been pet sitting/pet watching for over 3 years, while simultaneously owning and taking care of my own dog for over 10 years! I love getting to know animals and their sweet personalities, and knowing that you, the owner, trust me enough to let me love your babies! I've dealt with everything from cancer ridden cats, diabetic dogs needing insulin, to amphibians and pets of all sizes. I have patience and love for animals and have always and will always go above and beyond for you and your pets. They are more than pets, they are family and it is important they are treated as such. I encourage meet and greets prior to our first meet up so the animals meet me, my home, and my family.

A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years.

“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”
“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.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, family friends’ dogs, and other pets. I currently care for three dogs and two pet snakes, so I’m familiar with meeting the needs of different animals and keeping a consistent routine. I’ve helped raise two litters of puppies, giving me experience with dogs from newborns through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning enclosures, playtime, and giving medication when clear instructions are provided. Most of my experience is with small dogs, though I’ve also cared for larger breeds, including a pit bull. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. I believe every dog deserves patient, attentive care and someone who treats them with the same love and respect they give us. This stays truthful while highlighting your experience in a way that helps build trust with potential clients. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available before 9:00 AM and after 1:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly so pet parents know they can count on me. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and happy

About: I have fostered cats and kittens for approximately ten years, and know the commitment, awareness, and love it takes to connect with animals of all personality types. I have two cats of my own that were foster-fails, so I am very well versed in the needs of all different kinds of cats, and I will apply the same loving care and attention I provide to my own to your pets. I am extremely aware and will always focus on the safety of your pet. I grew up with two dogs as well, and have plenty of personal experience caring for dogs. I grew up pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors on top of my own dogs. I truly love animals, and want to spend my free time taking care of them. You can trust me with your cats and dogs! I'm currently working part-time, so when I am not doing that I have plenty of time to spare taking care of your pets! I am available on weekends, after work, and the weekdays I am not working.

About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, including my own pets and those of clients, friends, and family. As a veterinary technician, I work with cats and dogs every day, providing compassionate care. I’ve worked with pets sized from newborn kittens to Great Danes. I also volunteered as a dog walker and animal enrichment volunteer at the humane society, gaining experience with dogs of many different personalities and medical/behavioral needs. As a foster parent, I’ve raised several neonatal and underage litters in my home, providing the around-the-clock care and attention. Animals are my passion, and caring for them has become a lifelong commitment of mine. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some extra attention, or more specialized care, I treat every animal I meet with the same compassion and dedication I would give my own. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, so my schedule is limited to the weekends and Mondays. I am willing to work around my work duties to provide compassionate pet care! I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each animal and maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Before caring for a pet, I take the time to learn about their personality, daily schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and their space, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while also giving pets the space they need to feel comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications and providing moderate-level medical care when appropriate. My veterinary experience also allows me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or other signs that something may be wrong. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would want for my own animals.
“CJ was amazing in winning the trust of our anxious pup, Lily. She calmly worked through Lily's fears and became her friend over the course of just 2 walks! She is patient, enthusiastic, and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend CJ!”
About: I’ve always been around animals since I was little, living on a small farm and growing up taking in four cats of my own! I currently work at home as an artist, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate during the summer until school starts back up for my son. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of animals, knowing how to handle them, play, feed and clean! Very respectful of your pet’s personality.
“2 more walks with Nancy = happy dogs & happy owner. :-) She sends great notes in her Rover card, keeping me abreast of any issues she notices with my dogs. She is a very caring dog walker.”
About: I grew up with dogs, and I adopted my dog Bailey in 2019. I have plenty of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family members. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am happy to accept same day requests to help take care of your fur babies. I am available every day. I do not offer care in my home. I can provide drop in services or dog walks in your neighborhood. I also have experience handling reactive animals.

We love pets of all shapes and sizes and we’ve got you covered on short notice too! ❤️ I work nights at an ER and just want to have something fun to do in my off time!

There are locks on either side and we do have cameras for extra security. Your furbaby is our furbaby while you’re away❤️
About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available
About: I have had animals all my life growing up as child. Over the years I have learned to play with dogs and learn what they like to do as well as what they do not like to do. I notice the small things about the dog such as if their eating habits change, sleeping habits change and activeness change. I have love dogs so your human companion will feel comfortable and loved. I have worked with puppies, young adult and senior dogs treating each with the care they deserved and giving them the attention they require. Animals are my passion and they will always be in good hands with me. I will take care of your pet and they will feel happy and right at home.

“Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated regularly and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Would 100p recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Em was so incredible to work with! I booked pretty last minute with her and had rather an odd request and she was so accommodating. She gave us updates during our pup's stay with her and sent us photos. She was incredibly easy to contact and she truly went above and beyond for us during a very busy wedding weekend. It gave me such a huge peace of mind to know that my dog was loved, safe, and well cared for while in Em's care. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“Cynthia is great and took excellent care of my two pups. I received updates and pictures and I could tell the pups were having fun. I’ll be a return customer.”
“My first time ever using rover app, was a bit skeptical. But Kenneth made my skepticism go away by how professional , helpful, and communicative he was.”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“I’m so glad I found Christian ? she’s is such sweetheart and took care of my baby like her own! I’ve never been more comfortable leaving my puppy with someone than with her! She kept me posted the whole time with pictures and even teaching Miley some tricks ? I highly recommend her and I’m definitely trusting her my baby again ?”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“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.”
“Our 2 adult pups were well cared for by Adriana while we were away. She kept us updated to their daily activities with both photos and videos. Our lab mix really enjoyed escaping the July heat with dips in the pool. We would definitely consider booking with Adriana again in the future!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bogey’s New Favorite Human! We’re so thankful to have found Edward B. for our English Lab, Bogey. He can be a bit bougie (especially about his water—filtered only, of course 😄), and Edward embraced his quirks with so much love and patience. We got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little notes that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust 100% with our pup. Thank you, Edward , for loving Bogey like your own. We’ll absolutely be booking again!!”
“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!”
“Crystal is amazing! My dog had a wonderful time with her. Very good at keeping me updated with pictures. I would definitely recommend her and I will be requesting her again.”
“McKensie is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. From the moment we met, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She took incredible care of my cats, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. She is dependable, caring, professional, and goes above and beyond in every way. It’s rare to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but McKensie has earned that trust. My pets were happy, well cared for, and loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet children as if they were her own, look no further. McKensie is #1 in my book, and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my furry family!”
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Larickya was wonderful with my fur babies. She will treat them like they are hers. She will spoiled them and love on them like you love on them. I can tell my babies had a great time with her too. Thank you so much for everything you did for them!”
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”
