“Katya was beyond amazing. She took fantastic care of my dog, provided daily updates, and kept my mind at ease the whole time. She was so kind and flexible when I had travel issues. She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend”
“Blanca is amazing! She has so much Love and care for both Cooper and his parents.... This was our first time using Rover.com and Blanca. We will definitely 💯 be rebooking with Blanca. 💜”
“She was awesome 😀😀 Kept me up to date with info and pics of them. She was great and would def use again and again. She also took them in with a late notice too, she was the best 😀”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“I told Christine that I had an issue with Benny marking and she had a solution. She is regimented and very thoughtful. Benny also received a grooming from Christine because she happens to also be a 12 year veteran groomer! In addition to his training while he was at Christine’s home he came back clean and happy! She sent photos that reminded me of homeward bound when Benny went in the yard with the other dog friends. Christine is a compassionate woman and has a loving and safe home for the pups. 1000% rebooking.”
“Receiving daily updates and photos made me feel so at ease and truly showed how well my sweet boy was being cared for. It meant so much to see him happy and comfortable. So grateful for the love and attention he received and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Tannia and Chris were great taking care of Ollie. They sent photos throughout the days showing how content he was. I would definitely recommend Tannia watching your fur babies when you can’t take them along.”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Emma made it effortless with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and accommodating to watch your pet, Emma is absolutely a 10/10. I will 100% be booking with her again!”
“We feel so lucky to have found Laura. We do not ever worry about our dog when she is in Laura’s care. The photos and videos that Laura constantly shares prove that she is treating our dog like her own every single day. We have been back server al times and will continue to book with her anytime we need.”
“Once again, a phenomenal stay. We love having Finn stay with Randy and Mimi and once again, are booking another stay already! He has so much fun with them and they are great about keeping our active Aussie entertained!”
“Rachel and her daughter were amazing!! From initial contact they made the experience seamless and welcoming. Koda didn’t want to go home he had such a good time. 10/10, hope to use their services in the future! Thank you both!!”
“Andrea and David were great. I need someone last minute and they were grateful to help. They provided updates on Bella and made me feel comfortable with being away from her.”
“Yekaterina was an amazing sitter! This was my first time boarding my 10-month-old kitten, and also the longest I have been away from my kitten since getting her. Yekaterina was so sweet in reassuring me my kitten would be well taken care of and genuinely felt better after dropping her off. She has a beautiful and clean home. She sent LOTS of photos, she gets it! She even sent me videos, which made me feel so much better about how my cat was feeling. I would trust her again with my fur baby.”
“Charlayda is a great sitter. When I first mat with her I got a good vibe from her. I knew right at that moment I had made the right decision for her to watch my baby Ms. V. Layda took great care of Ms. V and she took lots of photos! I would definitely have her watch her again!”
“She is super sweet, very communicative which I really appreciate. My dog was super happy, like at home. We felt so relieved that our dog was in good hands. Thank you so much, we will definitely go back to her every time we have to go out. Thank you so much again :)”
“Skylar really enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn and Andrew. She was well cared for and I received frequent picture updates. I will definitely use them again when the need arises. Thank you so much.”
“Patti sent me updates and pictures of our dog KC and took care of her like she was her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Wendy was amazing! It was our first time sending our Peanut to her and She always sent us pictures and really cute ones also! We’ll most definitely be sending him to her again.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life and until recently been an owner of a small dog for 16 + years but unfortunately have lost him about a year ago to old age. Now I have retired and looking for something to do with my spare time. If you are looking for someone to take care of your small pet in a safe , cosy environment. You are at the right place. I am retired as I mentioned earlier and would be taking care of your fur baby like I took care of my own fur baby for all those years I have a nice fenced yard for your little fur baby to run around and have fun. I don’t like to keep your pet outdoors all the time in Florida heat like most places . They will be indoors with me. I will walk your baby at-least a couple of times on my cosy little neighborhood with least amount of traffic and noise

“Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own.
“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”
“This was my first experience using Alivia as a pet sitter and I would 10/10 recommend! She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to send pictures of my pet, play with her, and make sure I knew she was being well taken care of. Alivia was extremely respectful of my space. She helped identify clutter my pet was causing while she was left alone and offered to take out the trash during trash day, which was a huge help for me during my work trip. Highly recommend Alivia as a pet sitter!”
“Sara is reliable. She has quickly earned the trust of my two shy, elderly cats. They used to hide when a sitter came to feed them. With Sara, they have started joining her in the kitchen as she fills their bowls with food! Since we started using her, I do not worry as much when we are away!”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Jenna for taking such wonderful care of our kitten while we were away on a trip. She went above and beyond - feeding her, cleaning up, playing, and even sending us regular photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our kitty clearly felt comfortable and happy in her care, and it made our time away so much less stressful. Thank you so much, Jenna - you truly saved the day! Highly recommended!”
“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’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. I know everyone might say that, but I really do love animals 🥰 I have my dog Kota who’s been my best friend for 10 years now, he’s super sweet and friendly with other animals. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“Rebekah was amazing to work with. She was very thorough and provided detailed updates and plenty of photos of our fur babies. She even brought in our packages that were delivered while we were out of town. Would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Tyler and I am a Jacksonville native. I have been in the pet sitting/dog walking business for over 16 years. Caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. I can administer medications and assist with grooming. In the past 7 years I have specialized in senior pet care. I look forward to caring for your babies as if they were my own! I am currently offering daily dog walking/pet check-ins. I also provide boarding services at my home, where your baby will be a member of our family. I live in a house with a locked, fenced in, back yard. I have children so safety is my number one priority. For boarding services I accept "CRATE TRAINED DOGS ONLY" I occasionally need to run errands and for the safety of all the pups staying I prefer to crate all pups while I'm gone. My dog named Sage passed away 4 years ago. She was my baby for 16 years. Now we have an indoor/outdoor cat named Cali. During the day she loves to sun bathe in the back yard and snuggle up in her bed at night. While caring for your pets I follow all instructions for your home and make sure your baby feels loved while you are not home.
“Ruby did an awesome job taking care of our Theo while we were away on vacation. She spent time with him morning and night feeding him his meals, giving him some treats and love while we were gone.”
“First off I want to say Charlayda is the absolute BEST, she is very adaptable and understanding. This was the second time we booked with her and both times she was amazing and our two babies had the time of their lives. Even when our flight got delayed she adjusted Luna and Castor’s time. She is also the best when it comes down to receiving pictures, she makes sure we know how they’re doing, and what they’re doing. This definitely is the only sitter we plan on using, even if its just for us to have a day to ourselves to relax. Luna & Castor love being with Charlayda so much and we do too! Thank you soooo much, and we will definitely book again!”
About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!

“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”
“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Laura was great. I was nervous about leaving Bella and she assured me she would be fine. Bella warmed right up and they had a great first day. I received pictures and videos of how Bella was doing throughout the day.”
“Tyler was SO great. She sent updates throughout the day and was so sweet towards my pup, Ted! He had such a good time with the other pups that were there and he came back happy and TIRED. Thank you Tyler, for being so accommodating and caring. Ted will definitely be back! ❤️🐶”

“Emma was great. Consistent communication and very accommodating. I was running a bit behind with pick up and she’s was quick to reassure me. I can tell Ellie had a blast with her and their dog Patrick. Highly recommend her care.”
“My doggy had a wonderful time with Charlayda, and it was so nice to hear from her every now and then! My dog isn’t used to sitter situations so we’re both so happy that he could have a good first experience with Charlayda and all her doggo’s she cares for! Very happpy with her service and communication”
About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. 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. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!
“Chrissy and fam were great. Ellie was quick to warm up and by the second day, she was already pawing at their front door to go inside. Chrissy made sure I was up to date on her day and she was excellent at communication. Highly recommend and definitely will return once the occasion arises.”
“Marisa and her family are the best! We felt totally comfortable leaving Zoey in their care. Our anxious dog had a great day. We.look forward to more visits! Thanks, Marisa, for the pictures and videos throughout the day. We appreciate you!”
About: Hi! I’m Christine, a professional pet care specialist with over 15 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and small animals. In my early 20s I worked as a vet tech until I opened my own pet grooming salon. I operated that salon for 12 years before transitioning careers. My background includes professional grooming, animal handling, pet behavior, and pet first aid. I provide dependable, compassionate care and understand that every pet has unique needs. I hold certifications in pet CPR & First Aid. In 2025 I received certification in feline safety through the Intellectual Groomers Association. My current work-from-home position provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left unattended and receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to maintain the routine they’re accustomed to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner.

“Yekaterina and her family are amazing! They watched my 8 week old puppy whitney for several days and treated her like family. She sent videos and cute pictures throughout the day and the kids played with my pup and were so good to her. My puppy loved it at their house! 🩷💕”
“Alejandro and Mariana were very flexible whenever my work schedule changed and always took great care of Kodi every time they watched him! I would definitely recommend them!”

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 have cared for cats since I was about 10 years old and dogs since I was 15. I have volunteered in shelters for over a decade and have worked for a veterinary clinic for the past 4 years. I have experience with in home pet sitting as well as drop by visits. I can give most medications and love detailed instructions to give the best care possible. I currently work part time in the evenings and will be in college in the spring/fall time. I am available during the summer most hours and am happy to make things work as best as possible. I do not have a yard but live in a smaller HOA with areas to take longer walks and many grass spots for potty breaks. In my home the fur baby will have free rein of the upstairs and downstairs as long as I am home or will have the second bedroom to their selves. In the clients home I love a detailed list so I can do whatever the fur kiddo is used to on a daily routine.
“Very communicative! My dog was extremely happy and calm when I got home. Trust worthy and very thorough when reporting about how he did since he is older with health issues. Will definitely invite her back.”
“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”
“My dog Lucy enjoyed her walk with Rebekah so much! It was great how Rebekah communicated everything with us during and after the walk. I will be booking her again and I highly recommend her for any type of dogs. My dog is 60 lbs and she handled her very well.”

About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.

“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her.

About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.

“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”

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.
“This was the first time I’ve used a Rover to care for my dog Oaklie. Brenda, the rover, was absolutely fantastic. She took fabulous care of Oaklie taking him on walks, playing with him and cuddling with him. He really enjoyed her fenced in yard as well. He also got along very nicely with her dog and her daughter. She kept me informed of how Oaklie was doing each day. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see how happy he was. Brenda was very trustworthy with him and took great care of him. I am definitely using her again.”
