From the very beginning, she was extremely kind, communicative, and flexible, which made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and I could tell Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time he was with her. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Emma made it effortless with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and accommodating to watch your pet, Emma is absolutely a 10/10. I will 100% be booking with her again!”

“If I could leave an 10 star rating I most definitely would. I booked Laura the same week and she immediately responded back I mean less than 2 minutes. We met 2 days later for a greet and meet, and they were awesome. She sent videos and pictures like 3 times a day to keep you updated with your pet. Laura took good care of King like he was hers. I’m grateful for her time and commitment that she spends with these pets. Laura you are a blessing and I again would like to Thank you Thank you Thank you.

“We are incredibly grateful to Jenna for taking such wonderful care of our kitten while we were away on a trip. She went above and beyond - feeding her, cleaning up, playing, and even sending us regular photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. Our kitty clearly felt comfortable and happy in her care, and it made our time away so much less stressful. Thank you so much, Jenna - you truly saved the day! Highly recommended!”
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“There’s a reason Evan has a perfect rating. He was able to take care of my cat with only 12 hours notice. It was an unexpected/emergency trip so there was no advanced planning but Evan rolled with it, found everything - food, litter, the house key (!) It really was last minute. Evan even loaded and ran the dishwasher for us so that we didn’t walk into a disaster Highly recommend Evan!”
“Jada is AMAZING! My cat loved her and she was a great help for me while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets.”
“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
“Toni is fantastic. I had no worries at all leaving my kitties in her care. I am grateful for the wonderful care she gave them and her communication with me while I was gone.”
“Holly was awesome with our four Kid-ttens. The 2 youngest really love spending time with Holly on the patio. They always had food & water top off. Their litter boxes were cleaned out. We were very p)eased with the quality of her service. We will call on Holly again. We highly recommend her to watch over your babies too”
“Risa has been wonderful! I had to leave my Rocket for a short trip and she took care and attended to his needs while I was away. Will definitely book her again. :)”
“As always, made sure Duchess was taken care of and walked on time. Duchess had no accidents while I was gone and I did not have to worry about her while I was enjoying family time.”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Kara was incredibly sweet and kept me well-informed about everything happening with my pets while I was away. She dedicated ample time during her visits, ensuring they received plenty of love and attention in my absence. Trusting a stranger with your fur babies and home can be daunting, but Kara made the experience completely comfortable. I’m truly grateful for her exceptional care. 20/10!”
“Corey did an excellent job taking care of our cats while we were gone for a week. She came at the agreed upon time everyday, followed our instructions perfectly and sent pictures!”
About: Certainly! Here's a more polished version of your statement: "For the past 18 years, I have devoted myself to caring for cats while managing a pet resort. In addition to providing exceptional care in a professional setting, I also offer in-home services, ensuring that cats receive comfort and attention while their owners are away."
“Stacy was on top of everything and went above and beyond checking in on and feeding our cat while we were away. She was professional, timely, and so kind! I loved the daily check ins and photos. Thank you for everything!!”
About: Having spent over 15 years caring for my dogs and other pets in my hometown, I adopted Roman, a lively mini dachshund, after graduating college. Since I wfh I have decided to open my doors to provide a playful environment for pets like yours. My residence is conveniently located near a dog park and ample walking areas. My experience ranges from puppies to seniors. Don't hesitate to reach out for further details; I'm excited to meet your furry family member! 🐾 I wfh so I have plenty of time and flexibility in looking after your furry friend. I can do multiple potty breaks and multiple periods of playtime enrichment activities! I live in an apartment so there is no easy access to roads from my front door. Pets are free to roam the space and I don't typically utilize a crate during the day but I do have one if needed.

“This family is amazing at what they do. They are quick to respond to your booking request and they have accommodated me on several occasions when my schedule has changed.

She was so caring and made sure he was comfortable with plenty of potty walks and pets! She also sent lots of updates and photos of how Butters was settling in. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, calm, loving home-away-from-home place for their pup while away.”
“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.”

About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.
“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.”
“Amazing dog sitter!! She took good care of my babies and they loved being at her place! Definitely will be bringing my pups back to her in the future!! :)”
“We are so pleased with Meagan! She is very responsive, flexible, and took amazing care of our pup. We got regular updates and we loved seeing videos of how much fun our dog was having with her friendly dogs. Her home is a welcome place for doggy fun and snuggles! Also, she helped us out when we had to cancel at the last minute several weeks ago, even though she took a hit to her review profile. Thank you for everything, Meagan!”
About: i am a dog trainer with off leash k9, i have grown up with and have trained many different breeds of dogs. i own two dogs, two cats, and a guinea pig. i probably love dogs more than i love people, and if i could live on open land i’d take in as many dogs as i could. i currently work from home training dogs, and make my own schedule. i am usually home most of the day if i don’t have a lesson scheduled. if i do, i am gone around 1-3 hours. i have two friendly dogs, two friendly kittens and a even friendlier toddler. we have a fenced in yard and lots of space to run around and play, along with plenty of treats and toys

“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank 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.

“10/10 would recommend. We are very lucky to have found Rae to help us take care of our new puppy! She comes almost daily to let him out ('walks') as we work 8 hour shifts and are unable to make it home. She's trustworthy, experienced, and knowledgeable in this area which you'll find evident during the meet and greet. Thank you so much Rae!”
“Karen did a wonderful job walking our dogs. We have one very high energy dog that can be difficult to walk until he releases energy and she handled him with such ease! Both of my dogs came back from each walk completely exhausted, it was perfect and exactly what we wanted! Karen was so lovely and we look forward to having her walk our dogs again!”
“Jenna does such an incredible job with my pup butts. I am so grateful for Jenna’s patience when I made a mistake to the schedule. 15/10 would recommend as my pups love her and she always does a phenomenal job communicating with me.”
“Great communication and able to accommodate a last-minute request! Took pictures, mapped out my dog's walk, and as a bonus - hung with my cat before wrapping up. Definitely recommend!”
About: We have had dogs for most of our life, we are away from our lovely dogs so we will take care of your pets as if they were ours! We love pets more than we love people! Currently working from home and new to town, so we both have lots of free time to dedicate to your lovely pets and give them all the scratches, head pats and treats. We will treat your pets as our own, we miss them a lot so a lot of cuddles are in order! The apartment has a closed balcony with mosquito net, there's a lot of green areas to walk around and we love walking to get to know the neighborhood.
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
About: As a toddler until I was 10, we had dacshaunds. I loved them so but when you discover them after they have passed, it leaves an impression on you. This type of impression has led a part of my life to educating, advocating, and nursing but a dog owner, I won't become. I've lived with the problem Doberman-Rottweilers, smaller schnauzers, cutesy Italian Greyhound AND I pet most every pup I see (with permission, of course). I've had and have cats, from 2 months to 24 years old. I would love to visit and care for the cats and dogs if my community. Reach out! I'd love to meet your pet baby. I work virtually 4 days a week and have a lot of flexibility. This allows me the ability to watch pets, and care for my own. I have 4 indoor cats and a myriad of outdoor cats. I play with them, feed them and provide then with their favorite snacks: Churus. Cleaning up the box during each visit is a given considering cats need a neat space. For dogs, I would make sure to have bags to get their waste and keep snacks to make sure their given something for good behavior.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I love meeting new animals! i’ve rescued cats and dogs and even volunteered at the shelter for over a year! i work part time but im available any time im not working! :) i’ve worked with all sorts of dogs including high energy, puppies, and senior dogs. i’m also able to work with dogs that are reactive! i am available to give medication as well! i currently work a full-time job so i need to know in advance about petsitting in case i am working! that way i can see if it can be worked out! i like to meet the dog calmly and maybe give them a treat so that they know they can trust me, i also like to know about the dogs behavior and how they are around other people’s cats/animals!
About: Meet Sarah — A Lifelong Animal Lover You Can Trust Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to rabbits and even flying squirrels, I’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of creatures — and that deep love for animals is exactly what I bring to every sitting experience. At home, I share my days with three beloved pets of my own: Molly, my sweet 14-year-old chocolate lab; Tom, my spirited 11-year-old Catahoula leopard lab mix; and Harley, my 3-year-old cat. Living with senior dogs has given me firsthand experience with the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care that older pets need — and I genuinely cherish that slower, more intentional bond. I’ve been providing in-home pet sitting for many years, stepping into people’s homes and making sure their furry family members feel safe, loved, and right at home — because they are at home. I adapt completely to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they need quiet companionship, active playtime, or simply a calm and reassuring presence. I’m comfortable administering medications and have experience caring for pets with special needs. Overnight stays are no problem — I know how much it means to have someone truly dedicated watching over your pet through the night. When you leave your dog or cat in my care, you’re leaving them with someone who sees pets as family. I can’t wait to meet yours. 🐾 During the school year, I teach culinary arts at the high school level and coach volleyball in the fall and lacrosse in the spring — so my schedule is full and purposeful. But my love for animals doesn’t take a season off. Weekends, afternoons, and evenings are when I’m most available, and summers and holiday breaks are when I’m all in. Those stretches are my busiest and most dedicated pet care seasons, and I genuinely look forward to them. When I’m with your pet, I’m not squeezing it in — I’m fully present and happy to be there. When I step into your home, my goal is simple: your pet shouldn’t feel like anything has changed. I follow your routines, respect your rules, and bring the same warmth and attentiveness I give my own animals. Whether that means quiet companionship on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply making sure a nervous cat knows they’re safe — I meet each pet where they are. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you get updates so you can actually relax while you’re away.
“Steven was an absolute joy to work with today and absolutely LOVED on our dogs Scout and Seven. Very professional, reminded me i needed poop bags (just moved into a new neighborhood), and knew just how to handle our dogs untrained behavior. Poor Seven got pooped about 15 min in and Steven even just carried him home. We have fallen in love and DEFINITELY will be using Steven again!”

About: I’ve volunteered at my family’s dog care center for five years now. Love going for a walk, run or even to the doggy park. I have no doubt that your dog will not love me at all, I like bonding with them and making sure they feel safe and comfortable around me. Most importantly I will treat your dog as if they are mine own. I’ve been a dog lover since I could walk. If a family that I have been a sitter for needs me because something came up and I’m available I will gladly come with no problem and stay as long as needed. I am currently a part time student taking summer classes at famu. My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to accommodate to you and your pets needs. If clients have fenced in yards your fur baby will be supervised freely or if walks are permitted a leash will be used for the safety of your fur baby and others
About: I’ve taken care of many pets including guinea pigs, ferrets, dogs, & cats. I have experience cleaning bedding of small cages animals; kitty litter. Administering vitamins to dogs and cats. Bathing & flea removal (yes I’ve handpicked and combed fleas from fur). I’ve also trained my dog to sit, spin, shake my hand and go to bed. Logging into Rover gives me something productive to do on weekends. Plus I love nature and helping take care of animals. I enjoy every aspect. I only take in one pet at a time so your pet will get special attention. My community has a dog park and plenty room to roam around. Idouble check with clients to be sure their pets are flea and tick free for the safety of future clients, our pets and our home.
About: Hey there everybody! The summer is upon us and I am ready to spend time with your fur babies! I am a dog lover and missing interactions with the furry ones! I currently was blessed with a stay-at-home job and would love the opportunity to take care of individual, pets when needed. I'm very flexible and have lots of availability throughout the day to walk, play, and cuddle with the dogs!! I currently work full-time but am remote and have a flexible schedule I can work around what you need! Your pets are always welcome in my home and will be spoiled!!!! I live in a gated community that is very safe. Your pets will never go outside without a leash on and there's lots of area to walk
About: What sets me apart from others is a life long connection with animals and proven record of being safe, reliable, and patient. I've cared for dogs, cats, and plants for my whole life. I regularly help family, friends, and neighbors when they're away. I focus on making pets feel loved and secure while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I build my schedule around it. I’m currently taking online courses, which gives me open availability and the flexibility to meet each client’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or last-minute requests (prefer notice though), I’m able to adjust my routine so pets always get the time, attention, and care they deserve. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and relaxed. I keep their spaces clean, give them plenty of attention, and treat your home with respect. My goal is always safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.

About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.
“This was our fist time using Rover.com. Our Nessie had a great time with Kristall. In fact I think she was spoiled a wee bit! Will definitely use Kristall & Rover again.”
“It was the second time for our pet to enjoy Wendy’s services. She is a very reliable dog sitter, she feels the needs of our dog and our dog feels very relaxed with her. Wendy is always on time, she responds quickly on each request and send regularly pictures. She is a 5 star plus dog sitter. We all love her and will book her again for sure. Well done Wendy !👍”
“We honestly don’t have enough words to express our gratitude for Joe and Reanaleena. Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were in your care gave us complete peace of mind. From the very beginning, your warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shone through. You took the time to understand our pets’ routines, personalities, and quirks—and it showed. Our old man Perseus, who’s typically low energy, came out of his shell annd had a blast (I’m sure the barkaritas help). And our high-energy husky Atlas was calm, happy, and clearly well-exercised when we got home! We loved receiving daily updates and photos; it was clear they were not only well cared for but truly loved. You treated them like your own, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you for going above and beyond. You’re more than a pet sitter—you’re family now.”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.
“Andrea and David took perfect care of our dog Blue! They sent pictures, updates and videos throughout his stay. They also sent him home with a Polaroid picture of him and a blue bandana. Such sweet details that made me feel Blue was right at home. Will definitely use them again and would recommend to everyone!”
“I really appreciated how loving and caring they were for my little guy. He had a sensitive stomach and specific dietary needs and they made sure to adhere to the instructions. They also sent LOTS of pictures daily. They are awesome!”
