“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“Tyler was wonderful to work with! Great communication. Our dog is very anxious, but Tyler and her family made him feel right at home, which really put my mind at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“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!”
“Blanca put both Pepper and me at ease immediately. Not only is she knowledgeable, but was friendly, accommodating and responsive. I feel so glad to know my pup was well loved while I was away!”
“Rachel was a godsend. She took my 90 lb. puppy for 3 days after I was injured. Aldo and her dog played for 3 days straight, she said, and he came home exhausted, clearly happy and in love with Rachel and her daughter. I cannot possibly give her a high enough recommendation. Of course I will hire her again.”
“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”
“So very thankful to Randy for watching our furbaby for us! They have the perfect yard for him to run around and we felt completely at ease with the frequent videos and picture updates.”
“Tannia and her husband were absolutely amazing! My pup Rori loved every minute of the stay! Tannia sent me updates and pictures everyday. Rori already wants to go back and play with her new friends! Will definitely be using Tannia and her husband again!”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!”
About: I do not currently have a dog, but I have lived with plenty of dogs in the past! Some roommates had dogs. My most notable experience is with my mothers' 6yr old Goldendoodle, whom I no longer live with. She is a burst of energy, and well-mannered. I visit her to walk/play, take her on trips, and visit dog parks. I would love to meet your doggos and provide care during the week/weekends, or extended pet-sitting services! I am currently unemployed and looking to make this my full-time job! I am available always! A good timeframe for me is 8am-8pm, but I am willing to work outside these hours if needed! DOGS: I can do boarding, I own a home near Murray Hill, with a fenced backyard! I know lots of great walking spots & dog parks! I can also arrange play-dates with other dogs to keep them company during their stay, or in general! My cats are great with dogs, but I can keep them separate if needed. I can also come to you for feeding/playtime/walks/park days! CATS: I can board up to 2 individual cats in separate rooms within my home, (or 2 cats from same home in one room, etc.). For now, I'd like to avoid boarding cats freely throughout my home, as one of mine can be picky, and I would not want to cause additional stress for your kitty(ies)! But, I can set them up in their own room and check on them throughout the day, and/or let them roam while mine are separate. I can also come to you for feeding/playtime!
“I was really happy leaving my dog with Em and will continue to bring my dog under her care in the future. I was really comfortable after meeting her and so was my pup.”
“Bingo had a great time with Rochelle. I was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know but she was great with him and he adjusted quickly and seemed happy and content. She sent daily pictures and videos!”
“Another wonderful experience with Alysia! Dante comes back happy and even slightly calmer somehow. I will use Alysia anytime I can to watch my little guy.”
“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“Randy always has the best time hanging out with his buddy Pepper and the whole family! The daily updates bring me so much comfort, especially when you have a dog with health issues. Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of my baby”
“I’m so grateful I came across Daisy and her family. They watched my dog over the weekend and took amazing care of her. It was clear she was treated like part of the family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Daisy kept me updated, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Patti and Butch were great! They have a wonderful back yard and they treated our little dog like it was their own. She provided daily pictures and updates while we were away for two weeks. Our dog was very happy and safe for the entire visit. I highly recommend Patti for any pet sitting needs.”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew always take the best care of our little River! She was so excited to be staying with them again. And we got lots of updates again which was fantastic! We trust she’s in great hands with them.”

“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!”
“Ashley was great. This was our first time leaving our kitty and using a pet sitter. We were anxious leaving her but Ashley gave us detailed updates every visit and pictures. She also answered any questions we had. We will definitely request her services again.”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Deborah enough. My husband and I left for 6 days and I was very nervous. I have five inside cats and three neighborhood cats I take care of. Not only do I have a lot of mouths to feed, but one of my fur babies is very special needs with FIV and IBD. I left very detailed notes laying out instructions for multiple types of foods and meds for all that I'm sure would have scared off other sitters. During her time watching them, we even had to make a few adjustments but it was no problem for her. Deborah went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, healthy, and taken care of. I was so relieved to see they were in such capable hands! We have another trip coming up in a few months and will definitely be rebooking!”
“★★★★★ 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!”
“adriana was absolutely amazing to my kitties! she adjusted care to their specific needs and will definitely be booking with her again. she’s so sweet and loves animals :)”
“Kelly took wonderful care of my dog while I was gone for 5 days! Great communication and loved all the pictures! I would definitely rebook with Kelly the next time I go out of town!”
“Holly is such a great sitter! I messaged her this morning asking if she could stop by while I was out of town due to an issue with our automatic litter box. She responded super quickly and created peace of mind knowing my cat is in good hands. Thank you so much from Brandy and I!!”
“Jeweliana and Riley were amazing over the holidays, checking in and socializing with our cat. I appreciated all the updates and prompt responses. Thanks again guys. See you next time”
“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”
About: I have two cats at home; A 15yr old Maine Coon - blind (so I have experience with disabled pets!!) he's super smart, & gentle. My other is a 3yr old Tabby - she's very talkative, playful & mischievous. I have also lived with many cats in the past which were not my own, and have owned cats prior to my 15yr old. As a quick note; I have unfortunately been victim to a brutal cat attack from a previous roommates pet, so I must mention my preference for cat-sitting spayed/neutered cats only, with no history of aggression. I would love to meet your cats and provide care during the week/weekends, or extended pet-sitting services!
About: I’ve been caring for cats for around 15 years and truly enjoy spending time with them. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, play with, clean litter boxes, and give their cats plenty of love and attention while they’re away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or a senior needing extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they stick to their normal routine.
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.
“5/5 Stars – Meticulous and Incredibly Caring! We hired Cadence to watch our furbaby while we were away on a week-long vacation to San Diego, and she was absolutely phenomenal. This was the longest we have ever been away from him, so we were naturally a bit anxious, but Cadence completely put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic throughout the entire week. She was so sweet, caring, and incredibly respectful of our home. She didn't just do the bare minimum—she took meticulous time every day to play with him, give him his treats, brush him out, and keep his feeding schedule perfectly on track. It is such a relief to find a pet sitter you can truly trust. We would definitely use Cadence again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet!”
“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: Cherie was a vet tech in Atlanta for 18 years and a part time professional dog walker for 10 years. While in college, Cherie worked at Disney before eventually landing at SeaWorld, where she first met her now wife, Candace. During her college years, Cherie developed a love for birds, amphibians, and maintaining fish aquariums. In 1998, Cherie moved to Atlanta and began her vet tech career for a well known local Veterinary Clinic. Her best friend owns a dog walking company in Atlanta, which Cherie helped to establish. Additionally, during her time in Atlanta, Cherie also volunteered at a Guinea Pig Rescue and was a foster fail many times over! Candace owns her own business and she works from home everyday. Almost always, it will be Candace who is responding to messages and is at home during the daytime hours! Candace formally worked in the pet industry. She is a pet nutrition specialist and a walking encyclopedia in regards to various animal facts! Candace has been a foster fail many times over as well. She has been involved in many rescue groups throughout the Central Florida area. We just moved to Jacksonville from Orlando to be closer to family. We actually delayed the moved for a few years because we could not leave all of the dogs & pet parents that had become a part of our family. We still have some families that make the drive to drop their babies off with us. We have a good neighborhood with sidewalks for taking strolls. We also have a large fenced in back yard. We have experience for special needs cases. We are able to administer medications and subcutaneous injections. We are well versed in dog nutrition for those pups with sensitivities. Together, we share our love with 1 Chihuaua, 1 Yorkie, 1 Cockatoo, lots of amphibians, and many, many reptiles. Since changing careers, I've missed meeting so many new dogs and would love to meet and care for your baby or babies! The more the merrier! Candace works from home, so she gets to spend all day with the pups! You never know, she might even hire them to work for her! Someone is always home with your pet, so whatever your pet needs can easily be accommodated. Any pet that comes to us is treated like our own. They can sleep in the bed with us if that's allowed and they can go on any of the furniture. However, we do like to keep your routine if that what you wish. We know how hard it is to trust someone with your babies, we are the same way! Our dogs like to lay around all day and sleep. They are very low energy, except for random outbursts. However, that doesn't stop them from being friends with other dogs of varying energy. They won't play with your dog, but they certainly will smell some butts!

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!
“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! ❤️🐶”
“Ellie is always happy going to and coming home from Emma’s, which says everything. She’s comfortable, excited, and clearly trusts her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands.”
About: When it comes to dogs, I’ve done it all! I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, high-energy pups, couch potatoes, and dogs who need a little extra love and support. No matter their age, size, or personality, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up in a family of dog lovers, I learned how to care for, train, play with, and understand dogs from an early age. As I got older, I became the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. Before long, coworkers began trusting me with their pets too, thanks to my experience and genuine love for animals. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work remote and can be very flexible not only with the time you need me but with the location.

They took alot of time listening to my concerns/instructions and followed them carefully. Thank you guys for loving on and caring for my baby.”
“My doggy had a wonderful time with Charlayda, and it was so nice to hear from her every now and then!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. From guinea pigs to chihuahuas to pitties. I’ve yet to meet an animal I didn’t like and I don’t plan to ever. I spend time volunteering at the local Humane Society to learn how to better care for animals like yours. I’m a full time student looking to make most of my income here on Rover. I also spend a few hours a week at the Humane Society. I've had animals as long as I've been self-aware. My family dogs include a senior chihuahua and a 7 year old pittie. At home, my family includes two kitties, Moomin (5) and Toro (1), who are both from the Jacksonville Humane Society! They are my pride and joy and I consider them my sons. I work well with all pets. Doesn’t matter if they’re skittish or energetic. Please do not hesitate to let me know the specifics of your pet’s care needs. It is my duty to cater to their personality! Additionally, I will be sure to send lots of pictures to update you while you’re away.
“Deb is awesome! She’s a lifesaver for working long hours and makes sure my dogs get their legs stretched and good potty break so I don’t have to worry about them all day. Also greatly appreciate that she always picks up any stuff they’ve gotten into during the day and puts it away. Never expected that so it’s greatly appreciated. Also always checks the water bowls and my dogs seem happy to see her!”
“Ashley was a wonderful help for me. She was incredibly supportive of my dog’s needs and was on time. I will Definitely reach out if I need dog walking help in the future. 10/10 recommend here.”
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”
“Alivia was great, she was very nice and kind to my dog max he definitely enjoyed going for his walk with her, She follow instructions very well and was also very flexible with max I definitely recommend her and I’ll definitely will continue booking her.”

“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.”

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. I will be respectful of your home and your pets, always! You can trust me to know that your home and animals are left in safe and trusting care.

“Just a wonderful experience for my girl Fenway. My work keeps me away for long stretches and it has taken “many” Rover caregivers and she is one of the best.”
“Tyler was wonderful to work with! Great communication. Our dog is very anxious, but Tyler and her family made him feel right at home, which really put my mind at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“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!”
“Adriana was fabulous! She was so easy to communicate with. She sent regular photos and answered any questions I had. Upon arriving at her place for drop off, she immediately put both me and our dog at ease. She sought to understand our dog and all her quirks to make her time away from us sweet. Our dog for whatever reason likes to sleep in her bed only if it is against a wall and Adriana made sure even that happened. Our dog was so relaxed and happy she got home further confirming she was well taken care of while we were away from her.”
About: Hello! My name is Lindsay and I’ve been working with rescues around Jacksonville for the past 20 years. I started at humane society and worked with a few locals rescues since and have been around all kinds of dogs and temperaments. I am beginning my dog walking and check in business and will expand to dog boarding for special dogs that can’t always go to traditional Boarding. I understand a lot of dogs have special needs from anxiety, not being friendly with other dogs, fears of storms and fireworks, and even medication treatments. I have personally fostered hundreds of dogs from puppies to moms to seniors and am acutely aware that sometimes a walk or check in is a bit more. I understand the guilt of a dog parent not being able to check in on their babies or give them enough time during the work week and I’m here to help with that. I look forward to creating a consistent client base of wonderful dog families that may be overlooked or unable to be cared for by the standard walker. I am happy to take your dog to parks to socialize safely, handle vet appointments better than your husband or even just reassure you that you are doing your best as a pet parent. While not yet training certified, I have completed training with several trainers and fosters and can help with the basics and/or continue your style of training for additional reinforcement. Above all your dogs happiness and health is the most important. And a happy dog is much better at home to help you with your stress too 🥰 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and becoming someone you can rely on when needed. Check out my socials for a history of me interacting the doggos! Sunwoofcaraoke on Facebook and instagram I am full time caring for the doggos! This will be my full time job and only other bookings will affect the time availability. I am available 24/7 for regular bookings and understand some of our dedicated third shifters need check ins too! I care for your pets the way you want me to; however I am a force free believer. I will not use shock collars or prong collars for walking. For safety reasons I will not use retractable leashes either. I have plenty of spare harnesses and leashes for walking if needed. I also believe creating a bond of trust and leadership with your dogs is important. I ensure your pet doesn’t get overheated and takes breaks as needed. Weather is funny in Florida and I will make sure you pet can walk, potty and play safely.
“I cannot express how much we appreciate Emma and Adam. This was absolutely the best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. We travelled to Jacksonville to catch a cruise ship and boarded our fur baby for five days. I am always nervous about leaving my dog, but Emma made every step of the process as wonderful and reassuring as possible. My dog was in a loving home with great communication, wonderful pictures, and a very responsive sitter. We were able to thoroughly enjoy our cruise knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Emma as a pet sitter!”
“I was really happy leaving my dog with Em and will continue to bring my dog under her care in the future. I was really comfortable after meeting her and so was my pup.”
“Another wonderful experience with Alysia! Dante comes back happy and even slightly calmer somehow. I will use Alysia anytime I can to watch my little guy.”
“Edward is a “Dog Whisperer”! He was GREAT with my dog Milli. Kept me informed of her well being and what a wonderful time she had with him. I would recommend him to anyone that wants their dog treated with loving care! Thank you, Edward! I would give you 10 stars but the scale only goes up to five.😊👏🏽👍🏽”
“I’m so grateful I came across Daisy and her family. They watched my dog over the weekend and took amazing care of her. It was clear she was treated like part of the family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Daisy kept me updated, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“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.”
“This was the most peaceful and joyful experience leaving our fur baby for so long. Charlayda made it so pleasant for us sending us pictures and videos every day updating us with Daisy. I will definitely used her services again and she’s very recommended. Our Daisy had so much fun.”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! She treated my fur baby with so much love and care! Would highly recommend her anytime as well as I intend on using her services in the future!”
“This was Jasper's second time staying with Andrea and David and he absolutely loved it. They took such great care of him. I got daily updates with lots of photos and videos. They are wonderful sitters.”
“Our Doberman, Ana, has stayed with Debra multiple times and has received excellent care and attention every stay. Ana has some major health issues now and I was worried about leaving her. Debra was so kind and made sure our dog was comfortable and happy. She went above and beyond and sent us pics and updates every day so we could relax and enjoy our cruise knowing that Ana was okay. So thankful to have found Debra! She is amazing!!!”
“Kira did a great job keeping our 9 month old Goldendoodle puppy for 4 days and 3 nights . He enjoyed his stay, and she did a great job keeping us up to date while we were on vacation.”
“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!”
“I am very happy that we meet Viji via Rover. We used to use other pup carrier but he increased the price so we had to look for an alternative. Viji was very responsive and caring. We received daily video report about our pup. From the daily video report i can tell that Jax really enjoyed staying with them.”
