I would absolutely trust her to watch Mochi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing, our doggies were very happy 😊. We received daily updates and pictures, which helps when you're missing them. Her kids were even more amazing with them ❤️.”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”

“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
About: I've had dogs in my life for over 20 years, since I was a kid, and they've always been part of my family! I've primarily owned Boxers and, more recently, a Doberman, giving me experience with large and energetic breeds. I also completed several weeks of professional training with both dogs to become a more knowledgeable and confident owner! In addition to raising my own dogs, I've assisted with the birth of a litter and helped care for newborn puppies, giving me experience through every stage of a dog's life! I'm comfortable with dogs of all personalities and energy levels and love keeping them active with playtime, neighborhood walks, and lots of attention. I'll care for your dog with the same patience, love, and dedication that I gave my own! I work a Monday-Thursday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM in the office and Fridays from home. Before and after work, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks. On Fridays and weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend quality time playing, going for walks, and making sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play, along with a doggy door so they can let themselves out for potty breaks or some playtime whenever they want. There are also plenty of balls and toys to keep them entertained! Since I don't currently have any pets of my own, your dog will have my full attention in a calm, comfortable environment. If your dog is crate trained, I have a crate available and am happy to maintain their normal routine. Just let me know your dog's schedule, favorite activities, feeding routine, and any special instructions, and I'll do my best to keep everything as consistent as possible while you're away!
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”

“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”
“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! 🐾🤍”

“First off I want to say Charlayda is the absolute BEST, she is very adaptable and understanding. This was the second time we booked with her and both times she was amazing and our two babies had the time of their lives. Even when our flight got delayed she adjusted Luna and Castor’s time. She is also the best when it comes down to receiving pictures, she makes sure we know how they’re doing, and what they’re doing. This definitely is the only sitter we plan on using, even if its just for us to have a day to ourselves to relax. Luna & Castor love being with Charlayda so much and we do too!

She managed to even get my problem cat, Friday, coaxed from hiding on a couple of occasions. I fully recommend Brooke for any pet sitting needs!”
“This is the third time we have hired Lexi in the last six weeks.... and there is a reason she has become our "go-to" sitter -- our kitties love her, and she does a great job. There is not much we can say that has not already been written in prior reviews -- we are very happy having Lexi take care of our home and our cats while we are out of town. :-)”
“I am so grateful for her services. She has been a blessing to me and my animals. She is honest and thorough and goes out of her way to make sure everyone is taken care of. She has a genuine love for animals.”

About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!
About: I’m very accountable, reliable and honest. I can adapt to any circumstances and situations. I love your animals like you love yours as they are family. I work part time doing this on the side but I’m very flexible. This is my side job and it’s my pride and joy to do for people that I can help. I care to the animals specific needs. Every animal is unique and I have lots of different experiences. Ask me any questions at all. :)
About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”
“Hunnyhad an amazing day making new friends.. This was the best experience I have ever had being new to the area and I would most definitely recommend Marilyn if you want your baby safe and well taken care of. Hunny will only be going to Marilyn Q.”
About: Hi! I’m Priscilla, a lifelong dog lover and pet parent who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including large breeds and senior dogs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and quirks, so I take the time to follow your instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, meals, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone dependable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Your pets aren’t “just pets,” and I’ll never treat them that way. ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present with the dogs in my care throughout the day. I’m available for doggy daycare and overnight boarding, and I can accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, potty, play, and rest schedule as closely as possible. I have two dogs of my own and understand how important it is to feel confident about where your dog is staying. I prioritize safe introductions, supervision, routine, and a comfortable home environment. I’ll follow your feeding, medication, crate, and care instructions carefully and send regular photo and video updates while your dog is with me.
“My pup, bandit, had a great time. I scheduled a day care for Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, as soon as I pulled into the drive way, Bandit got really excited. Jerome sent pictures both days and updates, he even fed him dinner which wasn’t necessary since I plan on feeding him when he got him but it was super kind of him!! Bandit is a high energy dog and when he got home all he did was sleep which is great! I would definitely recommend Jerome and I would use him again. He was very nice and accommodating, treating my dog as his own :)”
“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”
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!

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, family friends’ dogs, and other pets. I currently care for three dogs and two pet snakes, so I’m familiar with meeting the needs of different animals and keeping a consistent routine. I’ve helped raise two litters of puppies, giving me experience with dogs from newborns through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning enclosures, playtime, and giving medication when clear instructions are provided. Most of my experience is with small dogs, though I’ve also cared for larger breeds, including a pit bull. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. I believe every dog deserves patient, attentive care and someone who treats them with the same love and respect they give us. This stays truthful while highlighting your experience in a way that helps build trust with potential clients. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available before 9:00 AM and after 1:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly so pet parents know they can count on me. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and happy
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.

About: As the saying goes, we truly do not deserve our pets. Most of us know this already. But our pets do deserve someone who not only recognizes this fact, but actively works to desperately earn that love and affection they shower us with day in and day out. I am that person :) I am currently between jobs with a bit of a financial cushion to keep me steady for a few months. This will fit in perfectly with my schedule because it’s completely free right now. I am in school right now for Human Services but that will not affect my work. My girl (Maggie) has her crate from when she was a puppy and that’s still very roomy for her, but she doesn’t use it really unless she’s pouting before i leave and she knows she’s not going with me. My house is very clean and she always has fresh water, plenty of potty breaks and lots of pets. Maggie is a bit of a ‘petmaxxer’ where she will consistently bother me until she receives enough pets, but let me tell you, there is never enough pets for her! She’s is my life.
“Anne was amazing with Ocean! She kept us up to date and sent over lots of pics. We are new puppy parents so we were super nervous about leaving her behind for the first time but Anne put our minds at ease. She was awesome!”
About: I love to spend time and get to know your pet. I love giving them the time and attention that they need. I have taken care of others pets since I was in high school. Your pet will be treated as close family to me. I would love to spend time with your fluffy companions. After a long day of working I love to unwind by feeding and walking pets. Walking pets puts me in a zen state of mind as well as making sure they stay healthy. Their health and safety will be top priority. I will always make the time for them. I will feed them at scheduled times. I will take them for long walks for their health and digestion. I will give them the time, love, care, and attention they need.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve always naturally been drawn to them — whether it’s stopping to pet a dog on a walk or making sure every animal around me feels safe and cared for. Being around animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something that genuinely makes me happy. What sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as just a job — I see it as taking care of a family member. I pay attention to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. As a full-time student and part-time worker, I’ve learned how to manage my time responsibly and stay organized. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally build my schedule around the commitments I take on. I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet my full attention and quality care. My class schedule gives me flexibility during certain parts of the day, and working part-time has helped me become dependable and punctual. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon drop-ins, or evening visits, I make sure your pet’s needs come first during our time together. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like “extra” work — it’s something I look forward to fitting into my week. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I focus on keeping everything as consistent as possible. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, so I maintain their regular routine and respect your home just as I would my own. I make sure they get exercise, enrichment, cuddles (if they like them!), and plenty of check-ins. I also provide updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
About: I pay a lot of attention to detail, especially in routine, and what to give a person for his or hers specific needs! Also want as much information as possible to make sure your fur baby is comfortable! I’ve worked with puppies/kittens all the way up to senior animals! I do not work full work days (Only about six hours a day and only on the weekdays) I’m home every night and all weekend. My Home is set up as pet safe for any fur baby! I have transportation means to transport any fur baby, for dogs if you sign up for a longer walk I can make a trip to the dog park if you would like! (no additional cost and no restrictions) I have a camera to check up on all fur babies and I’m able to go home if anything is needed! I have my own dog, she is crate trained and leash trained (I have a spare room (basically a pet fun room) in my house so if it’s necessary any animals can be kept separate). I am in an apartment but I always make some car trips to the dog park about 4/5 days a week (and if requested for no additional cost) I also go on constant walks around the neighborhood every 3ish hours (besides when I work/sleep)
“This is my first experience with Rover. Asher is amazing and I am so glad I did this for my dog. Asher is always on time and Charlie is so excited to see him, I can barely get the leash on. He is kind and loves Charlie. I highly recommend Asher B.”
About: Hi, I'm Katherine, but you can call me Kee! I've been my neighbors' go-to sitter for the last 2 years, and have care for young and old, big and small. Before that I cared for my own dogs for 15 years before! I'm currently taking classes part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with, feed, and generally keep your pet company throughout the day! I can fit well into your pet's normal home schedule, feeding, playing, and walking or letting them out as much as needed to best meet their needs.
“2 more walks with Nancy = happy dogs & happy owner. :-) She sends great notes in her Rover card, keeping me abreast of any issues she notices with my dogs. She is a very caring dog walker.”

“Our dog was so excited to go back to Marilyn's this week! Marilyn is sweet and kind. She sends pictures and messages that really help ease our minds while we're away.”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing, our doggies were very happy 😊. We received daily updates and pictures, which helps when you're missing them. Her kids were even more amazing with them ❤️.”
“Gissell was absolutely amazing! I just moved to the area and was heading to a family reunion when our original sitter had to cancel due to a death in the family. I was so worried about where my pups would stay, but Gissell swooped in with a quick response and immediately put my mind at ease. She treated my dogs like royalty — like they were part of her own family! They had an absolute blast, and I could tell just by how happy and relaxed they were that they truly loved being there. I will absolutely be booking with her again for all future stays. Highly, highly recommend!”
“I had a 10/10 experience with Alicia this past weekend while she watched my dog, Kingston. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Alicia was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive with him. She sent daily updates and photos, which meant so much to us while we were away. I’m so thankful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Your baby will absolutely be in great hands with Alicia!”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
About: I've had dogs in my life for over 20 years, since I was a kid, and they've always been part of my family! I've primarily owned Boxers and, more recently, a Doberman, giving me experience with large and energetic breeds. I also completed several weeks of professional training with both dogs to become a more knowledgeable and confident owner! In addition to raising my own dogs, I've assisted with the birth of a litter and helped care for newborn puppies, giving me experience through every stage of a dog's life! I'm comfortable with dogs of all personalities and energy levels and love keeping them active with playtime, neighborhood walks, and lots of attention. I'll care for your dog with the same patience, love, and dedication that I gave my own! I work a Monday-Thursday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM in the office and Fridays from home. Before and after work, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks. On Fridays and weekends, I have even more flexibility to spend quality time playing, going for walks, and making sure your pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play, along with a doggy door so they can let themselves out for potty breaks or some playtime whenever they want. There are also plenty of balls and toys to keep them entertained! Since I don't currently have any pets of my own, your dog will have my full attention in a calm, comfortable environment. If your dog is crate trained, I have a crate available and am happy to maintain their normal routine. Just let me know your dog's schedule, favorite activities, feeding routine, and any special instructions, and I'll do my best to keep everything as consistent as possible while you're away!
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”
“McKensie is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. From the moment we met, it was obvious how much she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. She took incredible care of my cats, gave me complete peace of mind while I was away, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. She is dependable, caring, professional, and goes above and beyond in every way. It’s rare to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, but McKensie has earned that trust. My pets were happy, well cared for, and loved while I was gone. If you’re looking for someone to care for your pet children as if they were her own, look no further. McKensie is #1 in my book, and I recommend her without hesitation. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my furry family!”
“Emma did an amazing job with my baby, Audemar! She sent detailed updates every day, which kept me completely in the loop and at ease. From our meet & greet, I could already tell that Emma and her husband would be great caretakers. I dropped Audemar off without a single worry, and he had such a great time with their dog too. Thank you again! I will definitely be booking with you in the future!”
