“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! Chris and Tannia are the nicest people you’d want to meet! Their condo is very clean and safe as well. They kept me updated, send me lots of photos and always responded quickly. I could tell Stella was also happy through the photos!”

“Five stars! Maria was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Olaf. From the moment I dropped him off, Maria was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout his stay with regular communication, including adorable videos and pictures. It was so comforting to see Olaf happy and well-cared for. They even went above and beyond by taking him for walks and including him in their weekend picnic plans! It's clear they truly love dogs and treat them like their own. I will absolutely be contacting Ryan and Maria again whenever I'm in the area – I highly recommend their dog-watching services!”

Patty is amazing, I will recommend Patty to anyone who want there baby to be treat like they were at home. Sashi will be continue visit Patty??❤️”
“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.”

They sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay, which I really appreciated.

I'm so grateful to have found them and will absolutely book with them again!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad to have had the fortune of booking Alivia. Alivia was just exceptional at communication and even earned the affection of my extremely shy cat in just a matter of days. The litter and food tasks were done to a tee and she even went out of her way to drop the litter trash down the street at the neighborhood dumpster. Could not be happier with my experience.”

About: I have experience with service dog training; both task training and basic commands. I have owned both dogs and cats, along with small animals. With that has come experience with a variety of healthcare needs as well. I am a school teacher with full summer availability! During the school year, I’m available before and after the school day and on weekends. We have two cats in our home that we treat like children. Our pets are our babies and are treated as such! Everyone is allowed on furniture, we have a neighborhood dog park and lots of green area to play around in. We also have a closed in patio that all the animals love to sunbathe in!

About: I’ve taken care of animals and pets ever since I was 8 years old. Neighbors, friends and family members rely on me for pet care.

“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! 🩷💕”
“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.”

“Ryan & Maria were super lovely, calm, caring, gracious. We felt really good leaving Bella with them for the afternoon. They are conveniently located close to Mayo, and it was a gift to be able to drop Bella off, get to our appointment at Mayo and then pick her back up … knowing she was in quiet space with caring people. They also send plenty of photos and videos which were nice to receive too. Highly recommend this wonderful couple for your pet’s well-being.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and even horses since childhood. Friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with their fur babies, a privilege which I take very seriously. I enjoy spending time with all animals, whether that be playing, walking, bathing, feeding, or afternoon napping. I work full time Monday through Friday, and have the option to work from home on a weekday if needed. I am available for boarding Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and for all other services Monday through Friday after 5:00pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. I live in a house in a safe, small neighborhood with sidewalks and have a large backyard. I can easily crate if needed and provide the care and services accordingly based on each clients’ requests.
About: Boarding: Dogs must be crate trained and vaccinations up to date. Must be kid friendly and do well with large dogs. I have a large, shaded back yard where we can play with toys or fetch. Walk around the quiet neighborhood or take a nap and cuddle. I have an active golden doodle who can’t wait to have a play buddy. I will happily take your dog on walks, play their favorite game and keep a structured routine if needed. Administer topical, injection or oral meds. Meet and greets preferred prior to care. I am currently working from home and have a large shaded yard. Which means potty breaks and outside play and relax time are always available. I will make sure your pets schedule is followed so you can be sure your pet will have fun and be cared for while you are away. My home is doggie safe. Minimalistic feel with little to no clutter. Space for your dog to stretch out and relax. Separate room with crate for sleep and/or alone time if needed. If I leave the house crate trained dogs can safely stay in crate with water and food. Feedings can be done separate if needed. Please bring leash, water and food bowl, and favorite treats. Do not bring toys because they will be enjoyed and destroyed by my dog.
About: For 17 years I have been taking care of dogs (really animals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes) both of my own and for others too. There has never been a point in my life that I have not had a dog. Right before I was born, my parents got a beagle that I grew up with. I started taking care of her at a young age (I’d say even later than 17 years ago, just not notable enough to count for it) when she needed special baths for her skin condition, treatments for her ear infections, and catering to her broken arm after getting run over by a car. Before she passed, we got a husky. I helped train (on and off leash commands), groom, trim his nails, and learned how to speak husky. He was a very loved hand full. I learned so much from him because of all the trouble he made from running away, eating glue, chewing up the entire house… you name it, he did it. Through these lessons I have learned not only how to retain my patience and grace, but also how to be a beacon of support and reservoir of love for all fur babies. Nevertheless, when he got older, I gave him shots for his hip dysplasia and ensured he was most comfortable until the day my sister and I sat in the room with him on his way up to doggy heaven. Today, I have a great pyrenees who is a bundle of joy. Again, I have trained her, happily cater to her persistent anxiety--especially with thunderstorms--ensure she is exercised, groomed, and feeling loved. Currently I am working part-time and most of this is at home doing online research for school. Pet care is my daily routine anyways and I have a partner who often stays home to take care of our pup. He certainly supports me needing to fill my cup with more love in my heart from interacting with animals. Nevertheless, I love to help people out. I find that having a good, stable community is the most precious thing we can have as people. It takes a village and I am happy to be apart of that village. I am happy to make any accommodations possible to help you and your fur baby feel the most comfortable with my care. Upon your request to book me, we will go over the requirements of their boarding or my visit(s). You let me know what I can do to help and what you feel most content with.
About: I have always grown up and been around dogs and cats. I grew up with big dog breeds and they will always hold my heart, but I currently have a small dog who I love like a human child haha. I’ve been around and helped train puppies and also have experience with older doggies. I accept and love all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a full time remote job , so I am always home! I may go to the gym for an hour but I am never more than 20 minutes away from my house. I have time during my day for long walks and even longer cuddle sessions. I have a larger apartment so accommodate any size doggo and my own small pup to offer some company to yours! I also love to be outside and go on walks so there is no shortage of outside time.
“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.”
“Delaney was so amazing with my 1 yr old Labradoodle. This was our first time with her and, right from my initial request, she made us so comfortable, taking into consideration all our requests and information regarding my anxious and sensitive pup! We had some very specific requests as our dog recently had surgery, and after our meet and greet, I knew we had found just the right person! She kept us updated throughout the day and sent lots of pictures and videos. Thank you so much! We will be booking again soon.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals! I volunteer 2x a week at the humane society. I love learning, helping, and caring for all types of animals. I currently work part time Monday- Thursday 8 am to 11 am and completely open on weekends. I have A TON of free time to spoil your fur babies! Whether it be drop-in visits, boarding, or going for a walk my very open availability will be sure to bring ease to your busy schedule. I have a fairly spacious apartment for just me and my kitty. I am able to separate animals, if needed, to create a safe but still cozy environment for your fur baby. I also have a large, open dog park at my apartment complex!

“Catherine was great! Responsive, attentive and so kind to our pup! She was punctual and very easy to work with, would definitely recommend and use again for future bookings. Billie was a happy and tired girl, she enjoyed the walks and playtime together.”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, and I’ve been caring for animals most of my life—from chickens and horses to gerbils and rabbits. After moving away from “farm” life, I began fostering dogs while they waited for their forever homes (including a Great Dane!). Now I’m happily settled with a senior chihuahua rescue of my own. I’m located in the Beach Haven area near Mayo Clinic and am happy to travel within the Jacksonville area to provide great care for your pups. I work as an EMT, so I’m calm under pressure, highly attentive, and confident administering medications and noticing changes in behavior. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I bring patience, reliability, and lots of love to every visit. I’ll care for your pup just like you would, so you can relax knowing they’re in great hands. Use promo code AMANDN11 to get $20 off your first booking after you sign up! I work a shift-based schedule, so I usually have extra daytime availability for walks and drop-ins. On days I’m not working, most of the time my availability is wide open! I like to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfy 😊 During drop-ins, I handle potty breaks, water, meals or medications if needed, and of course lots of attention. I treat your home with care, double-check doors and gates, and always make sure your pet is happy before I leave.
“Sharon was great! This was our first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she was so communicative and took good care of our pup while we traveled. We’ll definitely use Rover and request her again.”

I Am a huge animal lover!!. I am a stay at home mom so I have a very flexible schedule. If dog boarding, My husband along with my 7 year old son, live in a 2 bedroom home with a fenced in yard.

About: We are a family of 3 people who really want to add a dog as a family member but unable to take on the financial responsibility at this time so this might be the next best thing, just genuine love for your pets, no special skills at this time.

“When you find sitters that are "above and beyond ordinary", its difficult to sum things up in a few words. Delaney and her fiancee was absolutely superb. For this to be our first encounter, I felt a sense of peace with caring for my 4-legged baby, Tim. They were inviting and very accommodating. Im glad to know that Tim has adopted Rover parents in 2 cities, Orlando (Caylie and Jacob) and now in Jacksonville with an added bonus sister, Ivy. As a protective dog mum, I would highly recommend Delaney. Just remember that Tim gets first dibs (LoL).”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I’m a great balance between active and just keeping company - from puppies/kittens to senior pets I work weekday mornings but am free after 1pm daily and all day Wednesday and Sunday — plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or just hanging out with pets. I live in a pet-free apartment in a safe, walkable neighborhood with access to a nearby dog park. I share the space with a pet-loving roommate, and we both enjoy spending time with animals. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, relaxed, and cared for with lots of attention and companionship.

“Katie K was absolutely INCREDIBLE! From drop off to pick up, I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy in their care. I got pictures & videos showing my girl having a great time.

I will be bringing Emme back!”
