“Vigi and family were wonderful and my Harley was nothing but happy with them. I will be booking for any future boarding and daycare as long as they are available. Highly recommend them for your fur babies!”
“Rosangely is amazing. She communicated through the entire stay, kept me updated when anything was going on, and overall just a very calm, sweet person. Your pets will enjoy their time with her.”
“Blanca is amazing! She has so much Love and care for both Cooper and his parents.... This was our first time using Rover.com and Blanca. We will definitely 💯 be rebooking with Blanca. 💜”
“Christine was amazing! Accommodated a last minute boarding for my 2 year old pug (Luna) — which was a life saver! She sent frequent updates of her snuggling with Luna, playing with her, and even napping with her. Highly recommend 😊”
“Mariia and her family were excellent! They took such a great care about my little furry friend. Mariia sent me messages and pictures almost every day. I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely book again! ☺️”
“Tannia treated Cassie like a family member I had no concerns with leaving her there. The residence is well prepared for dogs with a nice back yard. Continuous communication and photos. Highly recommend”
“We are so grateful to Anolan for taking such amazing care of our two dogs, Maisy and Hendrix, this past weekend while we made a last-minute trip to New Orleans for the birth of our niece. From the very beginning, Anolan was incredibly kind, patient, and responsive. She sent us updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our doggos were both happy and in good hands. Maisy and Hendrix absolutely loved her (and her sweet dog, Benji, who they got to go on walks and play with!), and they were clearly spoiled with love and treats. Anolan’s boyfriend was also great with them, and it was heartwarming to see how comfortable and relaxed our pups were in their care. We ended up being delayed in picking them up, and Anolan was nothing but understanding and gracious about it. We would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Thank you again, Anolan—you’re the best!”
“Lisa and David were great with Jake! We did a meet and greet before booking and Jake did so well with them and their dogs. They sent me pictures of Jake every day and were so nice and easy to work with. Jake was a happy dog when I got to their house to pick him up and he seemed like he truly enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with them again!”
“Hannah is so patient and kind. She made sure Ellie was happy and healthy during her stay, went above and beyond in her care, and was very communicative with me. I highly recommend her for any pup, especially if you need special accommodations for medical or behavioral issues.”
“We wouldn’t trust anyone else with Daisy! Chelse always does such a great job with making her feel comfortable and is great with communicating with us while our pup is with her.”
“This is the first time we leave our pup with Laura and we're so happy we did! She sent us plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay and most importantly, we felt he was getting all the love and attention he needed while we were away. We picked him a happy pup and I'm sure he'd love to see her again. Would 100% recommend her!”
“Natazia and Conor were so good to our Maverick! The sent lots of pictures, communicated promptly and picked up/dropped off with no trouble. Would definitely recommend Natazia to watch your fur baby!”
“Anna took great care of my dog while I was on vacation, she sent me updates, and my dog definitely came home happy. I can tell she had a good time and was well taken care of! This was my dogs second time staying with Anna. Thank you!”
“Receiving daily updates and photos made me feel so at ease and truly showed how well my sweet boy was being cared for. It meant so much to see him happy and comfortable. So grateful for the love and attention he received and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Joanna provided a great stay for my Shepherd! Provided her with lots of stimulation from playing with her, to taking her on walks. I will be using Joanna again in the future.”

“Katlyn was great! Very responsive, accommodating, and was able to help us last minute while we were out of town. She sent photos and gave updates and our boy was very appreciative of her help!”
“Sure! Here's an awesome and casual review you can post for Ruth: --- Ruth is a total gem! She took care of Luna, Stelly, and BK like they were her own—with *lots* of cuddles and love. Loads of updates and pictures. What really blew me away was how immaculate everything was when I got back. Usually, after a trip, I’m stuck cleaning up litter scatter, wiping down slimy bowls, and trying to reclaim some order, but not this time! Ruth is next-level OCD when it comes to clean pet areas, which allows me to relax after my trips. My fur babies were happy, loved, and my home was spotless. 1000% recommend grabbing her for your pets while you still can!”
“Haleigh takes such wonderful care of my sweet kitty! A special touch is she spends time with him on our balcony to give him some fresh air too, which is very thoughtful. I feel like she treats him as if he were her cat. Will definitely be asking Haleigh to watch him again :)”
“Rebecca did an excellent job taking care of our home and cat. My cat is 11 years old and never warmed up to any other pet sitter like she did with Rebecca. I had an easy time communicating and planning for her visits. She also got some beautiful photos which really helped ease my mind while traveling. We had an excellent experience with Rebecca and would absolutely recommend her to all of our pet living friends.”
“Alivia is a true pet sitter - professional, communicative, and great with animals. I booked her for drop-in services for my cat Belle while I was away for five days and couldn't be more satisfied with her services. Alivia's visits were timely and she consistently sent photos and videos throughout the booking. She made sure Belle was not only fed, but had 30 minutes of playtime and interaction during each visit (Belle LOVED the laser! LoL) . This was my first time booking a sitter through Rover and I genuinely felt my cat was in good hands while I was away. Belle also approves!😊 I plan to book Alivia again soon!”
“As always Danielle did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. She even cleaned up a plant they knocked over, I wouldn’t have even known except she sent pics! She’s the best!”
“Kelsey took the best care of my cat while I was away! She left thoughtful notes with sweet photos after every visit. She was punctual, responsible, communicated well, and followed all instructions exactly as I had shared them. I will definitely be asking her to care for my fur baby again!”
“Shera took care of our cats for over a week and did a fantastic job!! The cats warmed up to her quickly and I loved getting pictures of them each day. Would highly recommend Shera and will definitely be using her services again!”
“I picked Hannah based off her great reviews, and she did not disappoint! It was my first time using the app and she explained how everything worked during the meet and greet. The reports she made after the drop-in visits put my mind at ease about my cats while I was on vacation. She sent me a picture of one of my cats that I will probably end up getting framed, she is a great photographer! I highly recommend using Hannah as a sitter, and I will definitely use her again next time I go out of town.”
“Kimberly walked into a difficult first time situation to manage my brother's pet cat's improperly maintained litter box. My brother is in assisted living,(Florida) and does have cognitive issues. He, by mistake discarded the scooper. Kimberly was in her rights to quit right there. Instead she informed me of the problems and opted to try one more visit. I, (NJ), saw to it to provide items needed. Who could ask for a better second chance. Kimberly is most definitely a caring professional. Hopefully it goes better going forward. I am prepared to at some point look to get Nicholas (the cat), adopted, but for now I thank Kimberly for her great efforts.”
“We’ve used Rebecca a few times to check in on our cat while we’re away and she is great! I accidentally booked for the wrong weekend this time around and Rebecca was able to help us in a pinch once I realized the mistake, we’re so grateful for her flexibility!”
“I just cannot say enough good things about Michelle. She is the first sitter I’ve had that has cats herself and my goodness, those must be the luckiest kitties in the world! She was so so good with our babies Bubba and Dreamy; she played with them, snuggled with them, fed them, cleaned them, spent all her time with them, and shared so many pictures and videos with us. Bubba is a little anxious and the first 2 days were tough with her stress colitis, I’m sure that litter box did not smell okay lol, and Michelle handled it like a pro. I dislike leaving the cats when I travel, but honestly did not mind it this time. I was able to truly fully enjoy my trip, and I knew that they were enjoying their time with Michelle! Goodness she is so sweet. My husband and I would watch the videos she would send and he would always say, we need to play more with the cats when we get back, because they had such a good time playing with Michelle and we want to make sure we’re living up to that standard! All in all would 10000% have her again. We love her so much. P.S. please don’t book her when I need her :P”

About: Hello, I'm Maya! And that handsome model you see on my profile is Kash'Money Jones, my 4 year old Labrador. He is great with all dogs and offers a great opportunity for socialization and group play! I've taken care of multiple dog breeds and sizes over the course of 7 years, my experience allows me to provide the safest care to your furbabies. Being a dog owner myself, dogs are my passion. My main objective is the safety and enjoyment of your pets, I'm so excited to offer my pet sitting services again and I'm excited for us to board with us! I work full time as a remote Social Services Coordinator. What this means for you is the I am home and available M-F and S-S 24/7 to provide reliable and loving care to your pets while you take care of weekly responsibilities! My work from home position provides great flexibility for walks and playtime all throughout the day. Your furbaby will have fun here, guaranteed! Kash and I live in beautiful apartment homes on Southside Jax. Our home is clean, comfy, and spacious! The apartments are "garden-style" which means beautiful, naturistic scenery for your furbuddies to walk and romp. The entire area is pedestrian friendly with many sidewalks, crosswalks, and grassy areas great for sniffing. It does come with a wonderful dog park, however, I do not take Clients to the park unless requested as it can pose an unnecessary safety and health hazard.
About: Hi! I’m Christine, a professional pet care specialist with over 15 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and small animals. In my early 20s I worked as a vet tech until I opened my own pet grooming salon. I operated that salon for 12 years before transitioning careers. My background includes professional grooming, animal handling, pet behavior, and pet first aid. I provide dependable, compassionate care and understand that every pet has unique needs. I hold certifications in pet CPR & First Aid. In 2025 I received certification in feline safety through the Intellectual Groomers Association. My current work-from-home position provides me with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left unattended and receive consistent supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. When pets stay in my home, I do my best to maintain the routine they’re accustomed to so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, and any special instructions provided by their owner.
“So awesome! My dogs absolutely love going to Aldo’s. His backyard is the best and they always come home worn out! Great with communication and updates on how they’re doing 😁”
“I am so happy I found Travis! My dog Darren absolutely adores him. Travis went above and beyond, sending me daily updates and pictures that gave me such peace of mind. I could truly trust him with Darren and knew he was in the best hands. It’s clear he genuinely cares, and that made all the difference. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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: When you board with us, your pet gets more than a place to stay, your pet gets a family to be a part of. We are a family of 6 humans, 1 dog, and 5 chickens and 2 ducks. Your pet will have plenty of playmates! I am a single mother who works from home. I drop off and pick up my kids from school, and run the occasional errand, but usually I am home. I enjoy an evening walk with my chocolate lab and would love your pet to join us. I have a fully fenced, large backyard. I also have two extra crates if your dog is crate-trained and feels more comfortable sleeping in a crate. Pets being on furniture is discouraged, but rarely enforced. I have an SUV and am willing to transport pets if needed.
“We had a wonderful experience with Lisa and David, they were very responsive to schedule a meet and greet and we were made so comfortable, we did not feel like it was the first time! Highly recommend and would definitely book again with them.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets and have grown up around animals my entire life, including both cats and dogs. Providing loving, attentive, and reliable care comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m used to being around and caring for animals. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m attentive to routines and understand the importance of consistency and reliability. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for pets. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for. I always provide attentive supervision, patience, and plenty of affection.
“Marisa and her family are the best! We felt totally comfortable leaving Zoey in their care. Our anxious dog had a great day. We.look forward to more visits! Thanks, Marisa, for the pictures and videos throughout the day. We appreciate you!”
About: I started taking care of cats at the age 15 as I had a cat of my own 🤍 during that time by 19 I got my very first/only dog I’ve had she was a Siberian husky with beautiful blue eyes ! I then started off walking my neighbors dog , eventually I started telling family members that had pets , if they were ever out of town and needed someone too take care of them I would do it :). I then came across another app like rover :) and started to do it professionally. I took a break for sometime after having my son 😊 but I am now back and excited to work with little furry friends once again 🤍😊☀️🐶🐾 I’m currently a part-time worker , so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of our flurry friends🐶☀️🐾. I’m available for boarding , sitting , & daycare 😊 I will ensure they are well feed & hydrated, that they had there potty/exercise time , I will give them love and lots of attention as well🤍
About: As a pet owner, I know how important it is to have your furbaby well taken care of when you're not around. My two pups have since passed away and while I'm not ready to add another to the family, I would love to puppysit yours! I can administer meds, feed, walk, and play with your dog. I also have four young children who adore animals and would shower your pup with love and endless playtime. When your dog stays with us, it becomes part of the family. I believe it should be that way because that's how I would want my dog taken care of when I'm out of town. I am currently a stay at home mom so my time is flexible and I am home a lot. Your dog won't be lonely and will get plenty of pets, cuddles, and playtime. When your pup visits us, they become part of the family. So rest assured they will get plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day.
“Our John absolutely loves Maria, and your pup would be lucky to have her as a sitter! Whether it’s for a quick date night or a long weekend away, Maria is always there with great communication, reliability, and so much love for our guy. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands.”
“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.”
“Absolutely AMAZING!! Rico doesn’t trust anyone and everyone and he absolutely adored & trusted her! She sent amazing updates and was soo friendly! I will for certain book with her again! ❤️❤️”

About: I had dogs and cats growing up, and have taken care of my friend’s dogs and cats while they’re away. My favorite dog was a tripod named Milo, for only have 1 front leg he really enjoyed going on walks, and he was pretty fast! I’m a teacher, so during summers or long breaks, I have all day to take care of your pets! During the school year, I can easily find time after school or on weekends to spend with your animals. Safety is absolutely top priority. I will care for your pet as if it were my own, and care for your home the same way. I will take care of any messes, food, water, or litter, and also water plants or take care of other household needs you may have.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have my own cat and have grown up with dogs ever since I was little. I also dog-sat for friends and neighbors throughout high school and college. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, loving, and reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work a full time 8-5 job and am available to check on your pet during my lunch hour (if close enough), after 5pm and on weekends! I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention, and get exercise or playtime based on their needs. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor time, and play, while for cats I focus on feeding, litter box care, play, and quiet companionship.
“Paige did great! We had to book someone last minute and she really came through. She was open to all the details regarding walking our puppy and provided pictures and descriptions! Highly recommend!”
“Kimberly is great with my animals! She follows all care instructions. She is very responsive. She has sat for me when I needed a last minute care for my dog. My normally very shy cat likes her. She normally runs and hides whenever anybody comes in. Not with Kimberly. I highly recommend her! I would gladly use her again!”
“Rebecca is wonderful She came on time and took both my energetic doggies out for a walk. Dealt with my puppy FoxHound’s quirks and my strong willed at times Golden Retriever and sent great pics of her time with them. Have already booked her for another walk. She is a trooper! Definitely recommend her for others -especially with high energy dogs or puppies”
About: I like to come to pets home so they are comfortable and don't have to be uprooted. I can feed them,walk them and play with them all in the comfort of their own home. I work part time so I have plenty of time for your dogs needs and they get extra i time on my 3 days off. I will be there to let them out, walk them and feed them and give lots of love in the comfort of their own home
About: I’ve cared for a few different types of animals, including cats (especially elderly), small dogs, hamsters, bunnies and reptiles. I’m very comfortable with taking care of these types of animals! I am currently a full time student with internship, I am not working so I have a lot of free time to care for pets, especially at night. I will care for pets however the client prefers their pet to be cared for. Every pet is different and has different needs, I will do my best to make sure they are as comfortable and safe as possible.

My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much”
About: I’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.

“We had a very positive experience leaving Riley with Taqueria and her family. They gave her lots of love, took her on walks and communicated well via text and photos. We would definitely use her services again!”
“Hannah was so wonderful to work with. She kept our dog in her home and he came back good and wore out. It seemed he enjoyed his vacation as much as we enjoyed ours. She was very easy to get in touch with and sent multiple pictures throughout his time with her. We’ve already booked her again!”
