Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ortega Hills
“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”
“Nuttawadee always takes the best care of our pup! She has our highest recommendation. She goes above and beyond keeping us posted with how he’s doing. If you’re looking for a great dog sitter look no further!”
“She took Legend at a last minute request with no issues. She kept me updated with messages and photos. Legend was good with her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Sanja ... My babies could not be in a better home like yours this past weekend! Your daily photos and updates reassurance once more how devoted you are and what a wonderful person and your family are when taking care of our babies. We will see you again!”
“Christine was wonderful. She sent photos and videos each day. She made me feel like our dog was being loved and cared for when she sent me updates and let me know how he was doing. We’ll definitely rebook next time we go out of town!”
“Unfortunately i can only rate out of 5 stars. If i could rate them out of 100 or 1000 then i would. Great family and perfect sitters. Would use them again in the future if the need ever arises. Took cute pics of my dogs with their pup and updated us on everything. My big pit mix baby loved them so much he even slept with their oldest at night. 1000/1000 thank you!”
“My baby loves them!!! They treat him like their own! We appreciate the tips they give us on his care and the daily updates when he’s in their care.”
“She was very attentive, always responded quickly, and kept me informed the entire time. Most importantly, my dog Milo came back happy and very calm. I would definitely leave him with her again!”
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.
“Cassandra was awesome! She was super accommodating and sent multiple updates throughout the days my puppy was with her. She’s great at what she does and I will definitely be rebooking again.”
“I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jodi and the care she gave my dog, Evy. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages about all the fun activities they enjoyed. Jodi truly created a safe, loving environment for dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing Evy was in such great hands.”
“My dogs came back HAPPY! Not nervous, angry, shy or desperately trying to get back to me. That never happens. Romi’s is 1000% a place I trust to tell my friends about and I hope more dogs and dog owners get to experience boarding with her.”
“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.”
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter! Her home was tidy and set up well for dogs, she sent me tons of pictures each day, and my dog seemed to very relaxed during her stay. Would definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Riley is always excited to go visit Haylie! She was even pawing at the door to get in during this last visit. Haylie is always very accommodating and was even able to let us extend our stay for a day as our travel plans had to change! Thank you so much for taking such good care Riley for us!”
“As first-time Rover users, we had a really great experience. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, and the pictures and video while we were away gave us so much peace of mind knowing our boy was doing well. When our return flight was delayed and we thought we might need to extend, they were incredibly understanding and willing to accommodate, which meant a lot during a stressful moment. It’s such a relief to know you can trust someone to take good care of your pet when you can’t be there. We’re very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Janet and Chuck did an amazing job watching our two boys, who were being left with dog sitters for the first time! Our dogs were healthy and happy when we returned, they gave us updates, and they have a fantastic backyard for fur babies.”

“Jamilla was absolutely amazing!!! I can’t recommend her enough. She was incredibly thorough and thoughtful in every aspect of her care, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. 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!”
“Morgan went above and beyond to take care of our 3 cats, even going for an unscheduled visit when one of them wouldn't eat. She came before we left to meet them and see the layout of our house. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little uneasy, and she did everything perfectly to help set us at ease. She will be our go-to pet sitter moving forward. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Sarah did a phenomenal job!!! She is such a kind soul. This is my first time ever using a service like this and I was not disappointed with her. I immediately booked her again for next month. I see why she has such high review numbers.”
About: What sets me apart as a cat caregiver is my understanding that every cat is unique.

I focus on keeping cats comfortable, stress-free, and happy in their own environment while providing dependable updates and peace of mind for their owners.

About: I've lived with many different cats my entire life and have loved them all. I've cared for cats with different personalities and different tolerance levels as well. They always come around and I love them all the same regardless. :)

“We know Britt gives lots of love and attention to our boy Finn because he is so “normal” and happy when we get home from travels. Not always the case with other folks sitting for him. Britt is awesome and we are happy to have her on Rover!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I started pet sitting as a teenager just wanting to help people out. Over time, I realized how much I genuinely loved this work, and it naturally grew into my full time commitment. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Including seniors and special needs pets who need a little extra patience and comfort. I focus on understanding what each pet needs to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I don’t have a yard, but I make up for it with plenty of walks, park visits, supervised play, and fun treat games with my own pets so everyone stays happy, enriched, and engaged. Pet care is my main job, so it’s a big part of my everyday life. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, which keeps my schedule flexible and easy to work with. This lets me give each pet the time and attention they’re used to while staying available for my clients when they need me. I offer pet care both in my home and in your home, always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, pets will recieve plenty of attention, playtime, and regular updates. I have a very friendly dog and cat who love new friends to keep your pup company. But if cats aren't your pups style, he has his own section of his house. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s usual schedule, handle walks, meals, and give lots of love and interaction. I can also manage small home tasks during housesitting and provide medication if needed.
“This has to be the best place to send your dog!! My Bear is so excited to go see them!! He's so happy and well taken care of!! The pictures I received during his stays assured me that he was doing well. When I pick my little guy up he's so joyful and just prancing around like he has the best time ever. I highly recommend this couple!! Very nice”

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.

My husband and I own a house with a backyard and lots of space to walk dogs around the neighborhood. I am a stay at home mom and am available to watch your dogs all day and provide the best care for them. I’m always here. I have a gated backyard with 2 small breed dogs. They are allowed inside and can go outside anytime to potty. If needed, I can crate your dog and we have a puppy room inside the house where they can sleep.

“My Skylar had the best time ever with Sanja! She had so much fun, I don't think she wanted to leave! I was the nervous one and Sanja immediately put me at ease with her obvious love of animals and her years of experience and knowledge. The pictures and videos she sent were amazing and put me at ease. I already have a 4 day stay scheduled and plan on many more day boarding trips. It is like a fun vacation for Skylar and puts my mind and heart at peace knowing my Skylar is in Sanja's loving care. Thank you Sanja!”
“Whitney did a very nice job with Bella. When I arrived to pick up Bella, I could see that she was very content and happy at Whitney‘s home. I really appreciate having a place where I feel safe leaving my little fur baby.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire adult life, my house is not a home without my fur babies. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. All of my pets have been life long family members from babies through senior age. I’ve potty trained, crate trained, cared for my babies from skin allergies to arthritis and surgeries. Some of my pets have been perfect angels and some have had past trauma that created behavioral issues that we had to work with and do special training. My fiancé and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as if they are our own. I’m the primary pet sitter and organize but he is my partner and back up. I know how pets stress when with new people and a new environment and I strive to make your pet’s stay as easy for your pet as possible. Please let me know their routine and any special care needed and I will do my best to make your pet comfortable. We have recently adopted our 2 foster dogs, they are sweet with kids and other dogs. However, we do have the ability and will keep separated from Rover dogs when needed if requested. My main concern is that your pets as well as mine are kept safe and happy. We both work full time but we have time in the evenings and weekends to care for and love your babies when you can’t. We would love the opportunity to care for your babies. We would love for your pets to enjoy our large fenced in backyard with a cool, clear pool to cool off in the summer. We love to play with your pups in our yard throwing balls or frisbees to burn off some of that pent up energy. If you don’t have a yard we would be happy to take them on a leashed walk. We know being away from home and their families can be stressful not only for your pet but also you. Bring all their favorites and feel at ease knowing they are being cared for just like part of the family.
“She was very loving and caring with Blue. She took him on walks and kept me updated on his progress . I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet caregiver.”
About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. We are privately insured with pet care professional insurance (including vet coverage)— for the utmost safety of your loved ones, so that you can rest at ease while away. We are always learning new ways to expand what we can offer to our clients. We strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position. Boarding care is handled by both parties. Most messages are responded to by Mary. Mary does have a standing M-F 3 hour babysitting gig from 1-4, though it often ends early. We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings. We offer a number of services; however, we do not accepts pets from more than one family at a time during boardings so that we can ensure the utmost attention, care and safety of your furry friends. We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.
“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”
About: With many years of experience and a home full of kindness, we welcome every furry guest like family. After our own senior dog crossed the rainbow, our hearts have even more room. My mom and I work part-time, which means one of us is almost always home. Your pet will never feel lonely here — just cared for, watched over, and loved like family. I follow every instruction carefully and always respect each pet’s unique needs. Animals are like kids — they all have their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.
“We are so unbelievably grateful for Stephanie. This morning we were dropping our dog off at another persons house for a rover stay over, and it was not a good fit. We had limited time to find a new sitter as we had a wedding to get to. Stephanie responded immediately and took excellent care of our sweet pup. Truly so grateful for her ❤️ thank you for making us feel so comfortable.”

I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and having fun. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own dogs, foster dogs, rescue dogs, senior pets, and dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every dog is unique and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. As a longtime rescue volunteer and foster, I have experience helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments and working with pets who may need a little extra patience and reassurance.

About: Hi! I am Shawna. I’m a five star Rover sitter with 32 verified reviews, now offering drop in visits and dog walking. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I grew up with cats and dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. While I no longer provide boarding or doggy daycare in my home, I’d love to help make your day a little easier by caring for your pet in the place they’re most comfortable-their own home. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, fresh food, and water, or just someone to throw a ball and give them some attention, I’m happy to help. For cats, I’m just as happy to refresh litter boxes, feed them, play with them, or simply sit with them if they’re the quiet type who enjoys company. As a stay-at-home mom, reliability and kindness are important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and to feel confident knowing they were well cared for while you were away. I’ll always treat your pets with patience, love, and respect and I’ll send photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. (My favorite part about being a Rover sitter!)

About: I’ve had the privilege of being a dog walker for a few years now. I’ve set out on many adventures with almost every breed. I never get tired of tug-a-war, playing ball, and all the games our four legged friends enjoy! I’ll make sure your pup has a great adventure and a lot of fun! My apartment complex has a great dog park with many obstacles and games. We also have a lot of trails to explore. Our place is filled with dog toys and we have a big backyard area to walk as well. I have a full time job but my hours are flexible and my office is two miles away from my apartment so I have flexibility to make sure your pup gets the walks and attention they need! I'm a firefighter who loves to get his steps in. So any day I'm not on shift I'm looking to get out of the house and go on a nice long walk. It's always better with a pup! I'll take care of your friend the same way I take care of mine. Making sure the leash is always secure, avoiding unnecessary interaction with others, and making sure doors all always secure behind us.
About: What sets me apart from other pet caregivers is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to provide individualized care, attention, and comfort. I am dependable, patient, and focused on creating a safe, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I am currently trying to become a full time animal caregiver. My schedule currently is wide open Monday through Saturday for sittings, walks, and more! If you leave instructions each thing will be followed to the tee. Any issues or anything at all you will get a text or call.
About: I love dogs and have many years of experience with fur-babies from small to large & young to old age. I beleive pets like dogs and cats are family members too. They need attention, love and play time when their family is away. I have 15+ years of experience pet-sitting. I use to run a petsitting business in Arizona before moving to Florida. I have 30+ years of family pet experience. I am a stay at home mom to two older children who I homeschool. I am home all day with an open schedule. I have some pet training experience as well. I've taught my pets simple commands like sit, lay down, roll over & shake. I love taking care of pets and getting to know them. They have such funny personalities! 🤣 I'm currently a stay at home mom with two older children that I homeschool so I have an open schedule with no places to be usually! LOL! Making sure the yard/house is secure is one of my top priorities. If I know the dog is an escape artist I like to do a walk through to secure areas. I like to come out with the dog when it's potty time to keep an eye on them and also play if that's what they're into. It's a great time to stretch their legs. For cats, they're pretty hit or miss on what they enjoy so definitely discussing what they like to do or if they enjoy pets knowing where their favorite spot is. Same goes for dogs. Asking questions to make sure they receive the love they are use to is another top priority.
“This was our first time using Rover and Allison made sure we had a wonderful experience. She is an excellent communicator which put my mind at ease. She shared so many adorable photos and our pets loved her. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you so much, Allison!!”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and currently have three dogs of my own. I am responsible for their daily care, including feeding, walking, bathing, exercise, and making sure they feel loved and comfortable. Through caring for my pets, I have learned patience, responsibility, and how to understand different animal personalities and needs. I have also experienced the loss of a beloved dog, which taught me how important pets are as members of the family. I will care for your pets with the same love and dedication I give my own. As a student on summer break, I have open availability and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. I am committed to following each pet's routine and ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care. I provide a calm, loving, and attentive environment and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own family member.
“Morgan was fantastic. I was visiting for a medical appointment and needed someone to walk and watch my dog (a nine month old puppy) who is usually my shadow. Moppie took to her and was perfectly relaxed with Morgan. She showed up early, sent me pictures, and was very caring. I would recommend her without hesitation.”

“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”
“She took Legend at a last minute request with no issues. She kept me updated with messages and photos. Legend was good with her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Unfortunately i can only rate out of 5 stars. If i could rate them out of 100 or 1000 then i would. Great family and perfect sitters. Would use them again in the future if the need ever arises. Took cute pics of my dogs with their pup and updated us on everything. My big pit mix baby loved them so much he even slept with their oldest at night. 1000/1000 thank you!”
“My baby loves them!!! They treat him like their own! We appreciate the tips they give us on his care and the daily updates when he’s in their care.”
“Cassandra was awesome! She was super accommodating and sent multiple updates throughout the days my puppy was with her. She’s great at what she does and I will definitely be rebooking again.”
“My dogs came back HAPPY! Not nervous, angry, shy or desperately trying to get back to me. That never happens. Romi’s is 1000% a place I trust to tell my friends about and I hope more dogs and dog owners get to experience boarding with her.”
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter! Her home was tidy and set up well for dogs, she sent me tons of pictures each day, and my dog seemed to very relaxed during her stay. Would definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Riley is always excited to go visit Haylie! She was even pawing at the door to get in during this last visit. Haylie is always very accommodating and was even able to let us extend our stay for a day as our travel plans had to change! Thank you so much for taking such good care Riley for us!”
“As first-time Rover users, we had a really great experience. Communication was consistent and thoughtful, and the pictures and video while we were away gave us so much peace of mind knowing our boy was doing well. When our return flight was delayed and we thought we might need to extend, they were incredibly understanding and willing to accommodate, which meant a lot during a stressful moment. It’s such a relief to know you can trust someone to take good care of your pet when you can’t be there. We’re very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Janet and Chuck did an amazing job watching our two boys, who were being left with dog sitters for the first time! Our dogs were healthy and happy when we returned, they gave us updates, and they have a fantastic backyard for fur babies.”
“Michelle was wonderful, very responsive and went above and beyond for my dog while she was there. Bella is super sweet and plays very well. My dog was wiped out when she got back with a big smile on her face. Will definitely book again.”
“Sylvia was excellent with our pup! Our sweet boy is super sweet with people but can get very anxious with other dogs. We needed a dog sitter at short notice and she was able to come to our rescue. She made our boy feel at home even with two other dogs of her own! She even introduced them, with our permission of course and he did great! I’m now planning on scheduling some playdates to help with socialization! Thanks again Sylvia!!”
“Thank you Meaghan! Missy🐕 had a great time with you and Bella and new friends. From the meet and greet we knew she’ll have all your love. How we wish we’ve known you earlier. We appreciate the updates and photos. We had a worry free vacay. We’ll definitely book again our Missy with Meaghan when we go to our upcoming 2wk vacay. I highly recommend her^-^”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I started pet sitting as a teenager just wanting to help people out. Over time, I realized how much I genuinely loved this work, and it naturally grew into my full time commitment. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Including seniors and special needs pets who need a little extra patience and comfort. I focus on understanding what each pet needs to feel safe, relaxed, and loved while they’re with me. For boarding, I don’t have a yard, but I make up for it with plenty of walks, park visits, supervised play, and fun treat games with my own pets so everyone stays happy, enriched, and engaged. Pet care is my main job, so it’s a big part of my everyday life. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, which keeps my schedule flexible and easy to work with. This lets me give each pet the time and attention they’re used to while staying available for my clients when they need me. I offer pet care both in my home and in your home, always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, pets will recieve plenty of attention, playtime, and regular updates. I have a very friendly dog and cat who love new friends to keep your pup company. But if cats aren't your pups style, he has his own section of his house. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s usual schedule, handle walks, meals, and give lots of love and interaction. I can also manage small home tasks during housesitting and provide medication if needed.
“Anna took great care of my dog Gigi and was so nice and updated me with pictures and how she was doing. I can tell Gigi was well taken care of and had a great time with her dogs! I would recommend her and would use her again to watch Gigi!”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“Kristall was wonderful. She was quick to respond when setting up the stay. She also kept me informed with pictures while we were gone. Our dog seemed super happy. We would 100% book with Kristall again.”
“I have used Jason for four visits now, and he is an amazing dog sitter! Sends lots of pictures and great at answering questions when needed. By far my favorite dog sitter in Jacksonville! I highly recommend him for any service you may need!”
