“Oscar just had another wonderful visit with Danielle and her family. They treat him like family and I know he is in the best hands. He is always so excited to hang with his best buddy Nyla.”
“Kelly & James are excellent!!! We had to travel urgently and found them just the previous day. Kelly takes time to understand your pet and their needs thoroughly. They looked after our pet very well and kept us updated with texts and pictures. Our pet is very anxious and takes time to get comfortable with new people but our pet did really well with Kelly & James. They are also very good at understanding each pet's temperament and managing them at the same time. They are passionate and genuinely care for the pets. Our pet enjoyed her stay at Kelly & James!! I would highly recommend Kelly & James and would definitely be a repeat customer!!”

“Carol and Scott were incredible. They gave daily updates with photos, and were extremely responsive. They took the best care I could ask of, especially since we have a large dog. It was great they had a backyard with other dogs for our dog to play with. They both are very sweet and loving people who will take great care of your animal. Would very highly recommend them to anyone on this app. If I could give more than five stars I would. Thank you Carol and Scott and will definitely be using them again.”

She truly went above and beyond, making sure my cat was not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable and loved. It’s clear she has a natural kindness and attention to detail that sets her apart. I would trust her again in a heartbeat!”

I am a repeat customer and will be using Sidnee in the future. If you want a dependable, responsible, knowledgeable, kind, and friendly pet sitter SIDNEE IS YOUR GIRL! We appreciate you so much 💕💕”
“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.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my cat. She looks forward to you feeding her and talking with her. I never worry when you’re in charge. Thank you.”
“Pam C. did an AMAZING job! We live on a boat and she came to the marina each day and took excellent care of our sweet kitty! She sent great daily updates with pictures and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Pam is super nice as well and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! Thank you, Pam!”
“Here’s a more organized, polished, but still super casual version with a bit of extra warmth: Justin did an awesome job with my two chihuahuas. They’re usually pretty skeptical of new people, but he was patient enough to get them outside and calm enough to actually go potty, which is a win in my house. He also followed all my oddly specific instructions for my quirky little dogs. Really appreciated how attentive and easygoing he was. I’d definitely book with him again.”
“Robyn and Steven are always our #1 choice for house/pet sitters! We feel comfortable leaving our 3 kitties and our home in their care. We always receive updates throughout the stay and great communication as well!”
“As we expected, Crystal took wonderful care of our cat and 2 hens. She even cooked extra food for the one who was molting (if you have chickens,you know). The house was nice and clean when we got home.”
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.
“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.”
“Sara, is an amazing individual to work with. She’s caring and attentive. And my kitties love her. I will definitely be booking more appointments with her in the future.”
“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. ☺️”
“Mary and Gabrielle were wonderful with our cat, Tux, while we were on vacation. Since he had never been away from home and can be very skittish, we really appreciated their patience, care, and regular updates as he adjusted to the new space. They stayed communicative throughout the stay and made us feel confident that he was in great hands. Overall, it was a great experience—we’re very happy and would absolutely recommend them! Sources”
“Very nice sitter! She went above and beyond for picking up my nervous kitty. She was so patient and loving to her during her stay. We appreciate her so much. I will happily use her services again. Thank you very much for your help.”

“Summer had a great daycare experience with Jessica. 🤍 She kept me updated with photos, and seeing him looking so relaxed and happy made me feel at ease. It was also nice to know he enjoyed spending time with her dogs.”
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. Please Note: I do not accept pets that are not crate trained and potty trained. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I can use that opportunity to provide plenty of walks and breaks as needed for your pet. Our normal walks occur twice a day in the morning and in the evening with intermittent outside breaks throughout the day. My current dog is indoors. All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.
About: My dad is a veterinarian, I am very lucky since that allows me to know how to vaccinate animals and even suture an emergency wound, what to do in cases where a puppy is fading due to its consumption of some food or to act in case of poisoning I am currently working part time that allows me to take care of and play with your pet after 3 in the afternoon during the week and also on weekends The neighborhood is very quiet and we have nearby parks if you want me to take your dog to one, in winter we could look for options to protect your dogs pads from the snow and the cold
“Thanos had a great time at doggy daycare with Joseph and Reanaleena! He has a ton of energy and was happy and exhausted when I picked him up. Will definitely book again!”
“Took great care of my dog! She has her own large Great Dane who had a lot of fun with mine (about 50 lbs, a pit mix) and a Boston Terrier she was watching for someone else. Huge size differences but they all had fun together!”
“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.”
“Tannia and Chris went above and beyond my expectations when caring for my senior girl. They are very accommodating and their knowledge of animals is impressive. 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.”
“I really appreciate you guys watching striker it looks like she had a great time and she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for the photos and the great communication. I will definitely be reaching out in the future! I hope you guys have a great rest of your week! Thanks again!”
“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!”
About: What makes me different from other sitters is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life, from cats to dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also rescued several lost animals and helped reunite them with their owners, which shows how deeply I care about their safety and well-being. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m home all day and have the time and flexibility to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love throughout the day. Since I’m home often, pets will have plenty of supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. When you book with me, you can expect a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pet will be treated like family. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Since I’m home all day, pets will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, feeding on their normal schedule, and a calm environment where they can relax. I also understand that every pet is different, so I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as close to normal as possible. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and cared for like family while you’re away.
“Here for the weekend and wanted our boy to go have fun and meet new friends. Megan took great care of our boy, giving him treats, cuddle time on the couch watching tv, and was a perfect overall experience couldn't be happier! Will be back in Jacksonville on more work outings and will definitely bring him back!”
“This was my second time with her! As always, she was attentive and caring. Strangely my fur baby eats well with her despite him being a picky eater. It feels really secured to have a day care where I can trust with confidence. Will continue to use her service going forward!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our 11 week old puppy. She sent plenty of pictures, frequent updates and responded quickly when we asked a question. Will be reaching out to her again if we need a sitter.”
“Wendy was awesome! Her place was perfect for my two dogs. Had a nice fenced back yard, lots of toys and safe neighborhood. She sent daily updates with lots of pics! Which we really liked. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”
“Mary was amazing from the jump! I am new to the area and was worried about sending my dog off with someone I didn’t know but Mary immediately put me at ease. She asked questions, provided clarity, and wanted to make sure my dog and I were comfortable with everything. Would love to use her again!”
“Excellent!!! Fozzie's behavior when I picked him up spoke for the great time he had. Fozzie said hi to me in usual happy fashion, yet did not want to leave. Normally, Fozzie is ready to leave wherever he is and doesn't speak to me. He actually ignores me until we get into the car. Her big brown lab was a sweet heart and her cats let Fozzie sniff them, too. Adriana, welcomed me all the way inside her home. The living room was set up for a place for pets to lay & relax; there were multiple cushions on the floor. Her back yard is fenced with ample room for running & playing, with a good size pool for pup swimming. When I came in to pick him up, she didn't rush me out. I bonded with the big guy with lots of rubbing & scratching; Fozzie wasn't his usual jealous self, getting between me and the pet I was petting. This was a very unique experience; it was great. Anytime we are in Jacksonville, FL, I know where Fozzie is going.”

“Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam.

About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $40! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large dogs and cats, which helped me become comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I am a responsible, dependable, and compassionate caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. My experience growing up with big dogs taught me how to confidently handle larger breeds, while living with and caring for cats has helped me understand the importance of patience and respecting each pet’s unique personality. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet, along with regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 As I work toward my goal of becoming a nail technician, I have the flexibility to provide attentive and dependable pet care.

I make it a priority to keep pets on their regular routines and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home, hosting them overnight in my home, stopping by for drop-in visits, or taking them on walks, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. For boarding and overnight stays in my home, pets will have a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. My apartment community includes a dog park and a dog washing station, which are great amenities for active dogs. I also have two cats, so any pets staying with me should be comfortable around cats. For drop-in visits and house sitting, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve.

About: Hello! With a decade of experience under my belt, I've been entrusted with the care of various furry, feathered, and scaly friends, ranging from cats and dogs to hamsters, birds, and even snakes. Each one receives the utmost love and attention, ensuring they feel cherished in their owner's absence. Originally from South Florida, I've recently made Jacksonville my home sweet home. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. My 10 year involvement in fostering and rescuing cats has equipped me with invaluable skills, including trapping for Trap, Neuter, and Release efforts to aid our community's feline friends. ✨ I work a few part-time hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, but I always make sure your pet is cared for before I leave and return right after work for a potty break. I also don’t charge per pet, making care more affordable for multi-pet households. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your furry friends. Having navigated the challenges of finding the perfect caregiver for my own pets, I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and genuine care. It's a badge of honor for me to be recognized as such.I'm eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to meet you and your beloved pets soon! I currently work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, but I can make sure your pet goes outside before I leave and again as soon as I return home. On weekends and days off, I have open availability and can fully dedicate my time and attention to caring for your furry companion. I make it a priority to spend quality time with your pet in your home and avoid leaving them alone for extended periods. I may need to step away briefly to go home to shower, change, eat, and let my own dogs out, but I always return within a reasonable amount of time. I will follow all of your instructions to a T no matter how big or small. I would love to meet ahead of time to go over any details that you would like me to do or special instructions to ensure your pet's safety and a peaceful stay of mind while you are gone.

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. 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.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals on my Granny’s farm, so caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my own home, we had three dogs and four cats, and animals were never just pets, they were family. My mom was a veterinary technician for 15 years, and she regularly brought home injured or recovering animals that needed rehabilitation. Through that experience, I learned how to safely handle pets in all kinds of situations and environments. She passed down extensive hands-on knowledge to me, including how to recognize warning signs, respond calmly in emergencies, and administer medications. I’ve even assisted with IV fluids for a dog when needed. Because of this background, I’m comfortable caring for pets who may need extra patience, medical attention, or routine based care. I bring more experience than the average sitter and take your pet’s safety, comfort, and while still giving them plenty of love, attention, and reassurance I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for early mornings, mid-day visits, evenings, and weekends. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I’m attentive to behavior changes, health needs, and comfort levels, especially for pets who may be anxious, senior, or require medical care. I keep the home clean and secure, ensure doors and gates are properly locked, and respect household rules at all times. I prioritize communication and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away
About: I’ve been looking after pets my whole life, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, geese, and even a peacock one time! Right now I have two lil kitties of my own that are the light of my life.

I will do my best to send a picture or fun video every visit for you and your families peace of mind. Please give list of instructions for me if you have specific preferences on how to care for them.
