About: I’ve been a dog lover all my life and until recently been an owner of a small dog for 16 + years but unfortunately have lost him about a year ago to old age. Now I have retired and looking for something to do with my spare time. If you are looking for someone to take care of your small pet in a safe , cosy environment. You are at the right place. I am retired as I mentioned earlier and would be taking care of your fur baby like I took care of my own fur baby for all those years I have a nice fenced yard for your little fur baby to run around and have fun. I don’t like to keep your pet outdoors all the time in Florida heat like most places . They will be indoors with me. I will walk your baby at-least a couple of times on my cosy little neighborhood with least amount of traffic and noise
“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“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).”
“Cynthia is great and took excellent care of my two pups. I received updates and pictures and I could tell the pups were having fun. I’ll be a return customer.”
“Best overnight dog boarder in JAX! Watched my pup for a week and he had so much fun plus a safe, loving environment to stay in. Above and beyond with pictures and level of care. Will absolutely be using Natazia in the future for any dog care needs!”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 27 years. Having grown up with pets and assisted neighbors, friends, and family since childhood, I’ve developed a naturally calming presence that animals truly respond to. I specialize in making pets feel secure and relaxed, which is especially helpful for animals that may get anxious when their owners are away. My care is thorough and heartfelt. I’m experienced with everything from high-energy play and long walks to the "spoiled" side of pet life—plenty of back and belly rubs, baths, and quality companionship. I also have extensive experience with cats, including maintaining strict feeding schedules, refreshing water, and ensuring litter boxes are kept perfectly clean. Whether your pet needs an active buddy or a quiet, gentle soul to keep them company, I treat every animal with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Deborah was absolutely amazing! She kept us consistently updated with pictures and detailed reports. Since this was our first time using Rover, Deborah kindly took the time to explain how everything works. She is very trustworthy, and we would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Hannah did a great job with our cats. She clearly enjoys playing with them and took beautiful photos of them as well. We came home to happy cats and a tidy litter box One. We will use her again.”
“Alivia was wonderful! She responded quickly to my last minute request for a cat sitter, and she was incredibly flexible when our plans changed the day before we left. One of my cats unexpectedly needed oral antibiotics twice a day, and she was more than willing to administer her medication and adjust the schedule from one visit per day to two. Throughout our trip, her communication was excellent. She kept me updated, let me know right away when an accident happened with our older water fountain, and she went above and beyond by replacing it before we returned home. That level of honesty, responsibility, and care meant so much to me. Most importantly, Scout and Luna were very well cared for and happy when we got home. I would absolutely trust Alivia with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter.”
“Holly is such a great sitter! I messaged her this morning asking if she could stop by while I was out of town due to an issue with our automatic litter box. She responded super quickly and created peace of mind knowing my cat is in good hands. Thank you so much from Brandy and I!!”
“Shera has taken care of my cat twice now. This last time raccoons ate all the food I left for my kitty! Shera went above And beyond to go and get more food for her even though I was coming home in a few hours.”
“Sara was so great with our kitties! I felt so comfortable having her drop in while we were gone for the weekend. She gave treats and sent great photos to us all weekend. We will definitely rebook her during our time in Jacksonville!”
About: When I turned 20, I went to the pound and got my first dog Ellie. In the past years, she made me learn responsibility and love. I am currently unemployed because I am focusing on school! So I pretty much have open availability to spend time with your lovely pet and more! my biggest thing is quality time and love with your fur baby! We will be adventurous and find new scents around the neighborhood. I will also make sure that they get their playtime, get well fed, and clean up after any messes!
“Ruby did an awesome job taking care of our Theo while we were away on vacation. She spent time with him morning and night feeding him his meals, giving him some treats and love while we were gone.”
“So grateful that Scott was available to do drop in visits for me. I know Benji appreciated all the snuggles and fetch time. I also really appreciated all of the photos, they always brightened my day.”
“Sierra is an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my cat and my home. She i was very communicative and kind. I can tell she genuinely loves animals. Will definitely be rebooking with her!”

About: I owned a huge Malamute/Lab rescue who ended up rescuing me. I miss being around animals. I will take my time in walking and spending time with your furry family member. I just moved here from Brooklyn NY. I walked miles upon miles in the snow and rain with my Dog. I enjoy being outdoors. I have been a dental Assistant for the past 30 years, I’m more than capable in keeping calm in a tense situation. Our Dental practice was pet friendly. I was the person in charge of handling all of the pets. I had a Great Dane panic at the sound of the drill, I soothed him throughout the appointment. I’m also a trained Dog Walker. I volunteer at the Jacksonville Humane Society a few days a week. I’m looking forward to helping out families that need an extra hand.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for years and truly love spending time with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to keep them safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind that they’re in great hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m able to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I have a friendly 2-year-old pug who loves meeting new friends, a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play, and a walking trail right outside my neighborhood for daily walks and exercise. I enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a secure, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and provides a calm environment where your dog can relax. I have a friendly 2-year-old pug who enjoys the company of other dogs, but I always introduce pets gradually to ensure everyone is comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines, and I’m happy to crate your dog if that’s part of their normal schedule. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. I know everyone might say that, but I really do love animals 🥰 I have my dog Kota who’s been my best friend for 10 years now, he’s super sweet and friendly with other animals. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.
“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.”

“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.”
“Emma was great. Consistent communication and very accommodating. I was running a bit behind with pick up and she’s was quick to reassure me. I can tell Ellie had a blast with her and their dog Patrick. Highly recommend her care.”

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.
“We needed last minute care for 3 dogs and he was on it! I have high anxiety leaving my dogs with anyone and my dogs have separation anxiety, after day one, they were excited to return to him and opened up tremendously. He sent photo updates, was great with communication, and very kind. My husband and I highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“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! 🩷💕”
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.

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: For 5 years, I have watched dogs, cats, puppies, kids, hamsters, etc. I have two cats of my own but they live in Baltimore with my mom right now, and I consider myself to have 5 dogs and 2 other cats back at home as well because they are my family member’s Pets, but I am so close with them.

Other than that I am at home doing homework for my summer classes or just working out, trying to cook meals, watching new shows or resting. My home is very secure, and very dog friendly and has a multiple dog areas for them to be able to play around and pee/poop if there’s not enough time to walk around the neighborhood or you just want to stay close to the complex. There’s also a lot of open areas and parks behind my apartment complex because there is a school behind there as well, all the dogs that I’ve dog sat have loved this area and there’s a lot of grass around here for them to be able to play or just lay out.

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Deborah! My husband and I have a Scottish terrier puppy. I had to travel for work one week and my husband works long hours at the hospital, so we hired Deborah to walk our puppy during the day. I was nervous because he is still young and this was is first experience with a walker. Deborah was so caring and patient with him! She followed all our instructions, came exactly when scheduled, and throughly documented each visit. It really put my mind at ease when I could see her visit reports and pictures while I was traveling. We will not hesitate to hire her again!”
“Thank you so much, Aaliyah! We were very happy with your service and the way you took care of Soda. We felt completely at ease during our absence thanks to your presence with our daughter. We truly appreciate your kindness and professionalism. We highly recommend you!”
“Hannah did a great job with my girls. She sent me pictures and followed my care instructions very well. My girls loved her and we'll definitely be calling on Hannah again in the future.”
“Scott was Pierogi's dog walker for almost a year and did an excellent job every time. Very trustworthy and thorough and you can tell he cares. He's a true professional and if I weren't moving to NJ I'm sure he would be my dog walker for much longer. Highly recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Grace — a pet care professional who works at a dog facility, with hands-on experience in grooming, boarding, kenneling, and daycare. Rover is something I do on the side, because honestly, one job’s worth of animals just isn’t enough for me. Senior dogs and anxious pets hold a special place in my heart. I’ve cared for animals with complex daily routines, multiple medications, scheduled feedings, and extra TLC, and I treat every one like they’re my own. Finding someone your babies can truly relax with matters, and that’s something I take to heart with every visit. As a cat mom myself, patience and attentiveness just come naturally to me. I’d love to meet your fur baby and learn what makes them feel at home — don’t hesitate to reach out! I currently work part time at a pet care facility, and my schedule is flexible! I’m available for overnight or drop in visits- whichever works best for your pets! I care for each and every pet as if they were my own babies! Being away from your pet is hard for you and them, so I do my very best to keep you up to date and make sure they’re happy and healthy while you’re gone :)
About: My siblings would ask me to babysit their dogs while they were away, and I always made it a point to leave their homes as I found it. I’ve worked in childcare and taught karate for three years now (not saying is the same thing) so your pet will be receiving the attention and play they need. Karate lessons too if they’d like🙌! I work part time at a martial arts school. Tuesday and Thursday nights I am working for certain. Throughout the day I’m available to walk/babysit/etc. I have work on my laptop so I can take whatever I need to a home and house sit at the same time. I always want to keep an eye on them, making frequent checks to see how they’re doing. I’d like to be informed of any quirks or habits I should be aware of so the pet is comfortable and receives the best care possible. If they want to play, I’m so ready to play!
About: Ever since I was little, I have a huge heart for dogs. It wasn’t until I was 10 that I finally had a family dog, and from then on dogs have always been a part of my life. I’ve done personal dog-sitting on and off for a few years for some friends and family and I’ve always really enjoyed it. I did Rover a few years ago and loved it, but life got a bit crazy so I had to pause it. I was still able to consistently dogsit for some repeat customers these last few years, and now my wife Linsey joins me in that! Your dog can expect walks at the park or in our neighborhood and for my home to be their home. If your dog likes play dates, my Rover friends would certainly be about it! My normal job is pretty flexible on where I can work, so if your dog needs extra attention, working from home is totally doable. Between me and Linsey, at least one of us is always home. I’ve done Rover on and off for the last 8 years, and have really enjoyed it! My job is super flexible, with set hours only 2 nights a week and once during the day. I’m mostly working from home or at coffee shops, so it’s super easy to stay home with a dog. Between me and my wife, someone can pretty much always be with your pet. Our home is your dog’s home. If they want to go on the couch or follow us around, by all mean. If they like their space, I’ll give them space. Many dogs have taken a snooze on our couch, legs in the air.
About: I have taken care of my dog for the last 12 years and would dog sit for my friends and family members pets. I love going on multiple walks a day so your baby would get plenty of exercise. I recently had to put my furbaby down to rest and my home is very quiet and lonely without him. I can assure you that your pet will get all the attention it needs :) I'm available 7 days a week to care for your pet and work less than 3 min away from my home so I can stop home mid-day if need be. Even though I live in an apartment complex, I go for long walks daily/nightly and we not only have a dog park area, we have another fenced in area to play fetch!
“Alivia was great, she was very nice and kind to my dog max he definitely enjoyed going for his walk with her, She follow instructions very well and was also very flexible with max I definitely recommend her and I’ll definitely will continue booking her.”
“Carter did a great job caring for Lucy! He was punctual, checked in with me often, asked questions about caring for my puppy as needed, and took pictures to share! I will ask for his help again!”
“Ashley was a wonderful help for me. She was incredibly supportive of my dog’s needs and was on time. I will Definitely reach out if I need dog walking help in the future. 10/10 recommend here.”
About: Hi! Im Danielle,! I grew up around a variety of animals- horses, bunnies, parrots dogs and cats! My dream is to open up a rescue/shelter because no animal deserves to go without a loving home. My boyfriend and I have 3 boy cats which we rescued who are our heart and soul and they truly saved us. I have had multiple dogs as well which were my pride and joy. We both grew up on/around a farm and the love we have for all walks of life is what drives me to give your pets the best care possible ! What sets me apart from others is the genuine love and kindness I have for animals because each and everyone has a back story and they all deserved to be loved the same. Dogs aren’t just friends, they are family and that’s why I take pride in helping other owners like myself find someone who they trust to help them one belly rub at a time I am available 5/6 days a week! I left my full time job and I am now pursuing the chance to provide owners with comfort and stress free care because your fur babies mean just as much to me as they do to you! When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space how I would expect mine to be treated and that’s with respect. By ensuring that I keep same routine that your fur baby is used to will make sure that they feel comfortable because meeting someone new can be nerve wracking. I make sure pets get plenty of love, attention, and are loved as if they were my own — and I keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you know your pet is happy and safe. I stick to your pet’s usual schedule for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things familiar and stress-free. I follow all instructions provided and always double-check things like food portions, medication (if needed), and security (locked doors, gates, etc. Clean-up and tidiness are a priority too; I leave your space just as I found it, or better.

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.

She provided updates with pictures & we were just able to relax on our weekend away. Thank you SO much Hannah for taking in Stella! We definitely will be contacting you again.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Andrea and David gave my cat, Lexy. From the start, they were welcoming, reliable, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her with them. They sent lots of photos and videos throughout her stay, which I really appreciated. My travel plans changed a few times, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible with both drop-off and pick-up. It was clear that Lexy was well cared for and getting lots of attention. I'm so grateful to have found them and will absolutely book with them again!”
“Gabriella was amazing, stayed in constant communication with us while we were away, sent us updates including pictures and videos. She made sure our pup had an easy, comfortable stay. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: If your pet is looking for a new friend look no further! I've been a pet parent for five years now. I raised my dog, Lola, from a puppy and have experience with housebreaking and training. I also fostered dogs for two years before moving to Jax and have plenty of experience with shy and nervous pups. I've been a cat mom for three years and have extensive experience with cats of all ages and medical conditions through the Jacksonville Humane Society. I'm more than willing to go above and beyond to treat your pets as family whether that's giving medications, going on outings, or grabbing a pup cup. I work a hybrid 9-5 job with lots of flexibility on when and where I actually need to work. With a week's notice I can arrange my schedule to accommodate your pet's schedule! Otherwise, I can stay or provide drop ins before and after work, and on my lunch break. I understand that every pet's needs are different. I believe communication is the most important part of this process to make sure you and your pets are comfortable with me. I follow any and all instructions provided to the best of my ability at all times and will ask any questions to make sure I can treat your pet as well as you do. If doing drop in visits or housesitting, I will keep up with any pet-related tidying that might need to be done. I will meet up prior to the booking if requested to make sure I'm the best fit for your pets needs. For those interested in boarding at my house, I live with my partner, dog, and cats in a 3 bed 2 bath house with a fenced backyard. Your loved one(s) will be hanging in our 600 square foot backroom which has a doggy door that leads directly to the fenced yard. The backroom has couches and dogs beds for your pups to relax on and a cat tree for any feline friends over. While your pets are over mine will not have access to this backroom so everyone will have their space.
“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!”
“Nathalie took awesome care of my dog Miller while I was out of town for my grad school graduation for a week. She sent lots of pics and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Candace and Thomas were so great! Sent so many updates with photos that made me feel totally confident Tilly was in great care :) would love for them to watch her again in the future!”
