“Katya was beyond amazing. She took fantastic care of my dog, provided daily updates, and kept my mind at ease the whole time. She was so kind and flexible when I had travel issues. She clearly works hard to make this a great experience for both owners and the pets. Thank you so much, Katya!! Highly highly recommend”
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.
“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Wendy was amazing! It was our first time sending our Peanut to her and She always sent us pictures and really cute ones also! We’ll most definitely be sending him to her again.”
“Charlayda is a great sitter. When I first mat with her I got a good vibe from her. I knew right at that moment I had made the right decision for her to watch my baby Ms. V. Layda took great care of Ms. V and she took lots of photos! I would definitely have her watch her again!”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. 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!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“Patti sent me updates and pictures of our dog KC and took care of her like she was her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Marilyn and her family gave to our three dog. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable and confident that our pups were in great hands. Marilyn treated them like part of her own family, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It was clear that our dogs felt right at home, and we appreciated the updates that kept us connected while we were away. Knowing that Duppy, Osito, and Kataluna were safe, happy, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind. We are so grateful to Marilyn and her family for their kindness and dedication. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!”
“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. 💜”
“Tannia and Chris were great taking care of Ollie. They sent photos throughout the days showing how content he was. I would definitely recommend Tannia watching your fur babies when you can’t take them along.”
About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover my entire life, and most of my expertise comes from the rewarding experience of raising my own two dogs from the time they were puppies. Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy, establishing routines, crate training, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience housesitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog in my care with the exact same patience and dedication I give to my own! I am currently off work and at home full-time, which means your dog will have my undivided attention! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's regular feeding, potty, and exercise routines. Because I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime. Safety is my top priority. My home features both a fully fenced-in front yard and a fenced-in backyard, providing plenty of secure, enclosed space for your dog to safely explore and play. Inside, I have two large crates available if your pup prefers or requires crating for meals, bedtime, or quiet time. I am highly experienced in managing a structured environment, and I strictly follow all of your specific care instructions to ensure total peace of mind.
“Yekaterina was an amazing sitter! This was my first time boarding my 10-month-old kitten, and also the longest I have been away from my kitten since getting her. Yekaterina was so sweet in reassuring me my kitten would be well taken care of and genuinely felt better after dropping her off. She has a beautiful and clean home. She sent LOTS of photos, she gets it! She even sent me videos, which made me feel so much better about how my cat was feeling. I would trust her again with my fur baby.”
“Skylar really enjoyed her time with Kaitlyn and Andrew. She was well cared for and I received frequent picture updates. I will definitely use them again when the need arises. Thank you so much.”
“This was the first time I’ve used a Rover to care for my dog Oaklie. Brenda, the rover, was absolutely fantastic. She took fabulous care of Oaklie taking him on walks, playing with him and cuddling with him. He really enjoyed her fenced in yard as well. He also got along very nicely with her dog and her daughter. She kept me informed of how Oaklie was doing each day. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see how happy he was. Brenda was very trustworthy with him and took great care of him. I am definitely using her again.”
“Once again, a phenomenal stay. We love having Finn stay with Randy and Mimi and once again, are booking another stay already! He has so much fun with them and they are great about keeping our active Aussie entertained!”
“Andrea and David were great. I need someone last minute and they were grateful to help. They provided updates on Bella and made me feel comfortable with being away from her.”
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”

“She took such wonderful care of my elderly cat. Such kind loving energy towards him, our fish, our home and us. Will definitely hire her again. Thank you Marilyn.”
“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.”

“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”
“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! Thank you soooo much, and we will definitely book again!”

“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!”

“My doggy had a wonderful time with Charlayda, and it was so nice to hear from her every now and then!

We booked a one day doggy daycare with Honey as a trial before her upcoming weekend stay, so Mila could get comfortable and adjust. Honey was wonderful and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout the day, which gave me such peace of mind. Mila came home happy and completely tuckered out from all the fun she had! 🐶🐾🎀”

About: I have watched animals of all kinds since I was a child including squirrels, ducks, cats, dogs, fish, turtles, and hamsters. I have been a dog owner of a variety of breeds since I was born. I love going on walks with my pup, and lots of snuggles! As a dog mom myself the pets health and wellbeing are my number one priority! I am a preschool teacher who works Monday through Thursdays from 9 to 1-2:30. I’m an early riser so I’m up early taking care of my dogs and cats before I go into work. The first thing I do when I get home is take my dog on a long walk. The rest of the evening I usually spend at home with my loved ones unless I’ve have other plans! The well-being safety and health of my pets are always my number one priority. I don’t have kids of my own yet, so I treat them like they’re mine. Both my pup and my kittens get two healthy portions of meals a day, daily attention, and lots of exercise.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 my family members and my friends always count on me to take care of their dogs when needed. I’m a huge dog lover and a dog owner myself and I worked in a vet clinic before. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to have doggy time and to have fun with them and take very good care of them. I’m always available in the mornings after 9am till 2 pm I live in an apartment but I love taking dogs on a walk and I love taking them outside and playing with them just having a fun time with them in general while taking care of them. They will take potty times very 2 hours and make sure they get a lot of walk time and play time.
“Amazing would be an understatement. Maria’s love for dogs shined through from day one. My pet adored her, probably a little too much! Maria went above and beyond to help sit/walk my dog. She followed my instructions to the tee and helped bring packages in while I was away which was an added bonus to her awesomeness. Will definitely book with her in the future and encourage others to as well.”
“Madison is great! She is quickly responds to messages and is very accommodating. I like how much detail she puts in her rover cards. She did great with my three dogs. I appreciated that she walks my small dog alone and separate from the bigger dogs.”

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.

“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Wendy was amazing! It was our first time sending our Peanut to her and She always sent us pictures and really cute ones also! We’ll most definitely be sending him to her again.”
“Charlayda is a great sitter. When I first mat with her I got a good vibe from her. I knew right at that moment I had made the right decision for her to watch my baby Ms. V. Layda took great care of Ms. V and she took lots of photos! I would definitely have her watch her again!”
“Emma is truly an amazing dog boarder, and I cannot recommend her enough! She took such incredible care of my golden retriever, Cooper, and treated him like he was her own. 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!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Cynthia — or as Lambeau knows her, Grandma G! From the start, she treated Lambeau like family. Lambeau got to play outside, cuddle on the couch, and even enjoy a little yogurt (her new favorite treat). Cynthia kept us updated and clearly adored spending time with her. It’s such a relief knowing our pup is in such kind and caring hands. We’re so thankful for Grandma G and can’t wait for Lambeau’s next stay!”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Marilyn and her family gave to our three dog. From the very beginning, they made us feel comfortable and confident that our pups were in great hands. Marilyn treated them like part of her own family, giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. It was clear that our dogs felt right at home, and we appreciated the updates that kept us connected while we were away. Knowing that Duppy, Osito, and Kataluna were safe, happy, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind. We are so grateful to Marilyn and her family for their kindness and dedication. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter!”
About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover my entire life, and most of my expertise comes from the rewarding experience of raising my own two dogs from the time they were puppies. Because of this, I am incredibly comfortable with puppy energy, establishing routines, crate training, and positive reinforcement. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience housesitting and doing drop-in visits for friends and family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every dog in my care with the exact same patience and dedication I give to my own! I am currently off work and at home full-time, which means your dog will have my undivided attention! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to easily maintain your pup's regular feeding, potty, and exercise routines. Because I'm home throughout the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of companionship, frequent bathroom breaks, and playtime. Safety is my top priority. My home features both a fully fenced-in front yard and a fenced-in backyard, providing plenty of secure, enclosed space for your dog to safely explore and play. Inside, I have two large crates available if your pup prefers or requires crating for meals, bedtime, or quiet time. I am highly experienced in managing a structured environment, and I strictly follow all of your specific care instructions to ensure total peace of mind.
“This was the first time I’ve used a Rover to care for my dog Oaklie. Brenda, the rover, was absolutely fantastic. She took fabulous care of Oaklie taking him on walks, playing with him and cuddling with him. He really enjoyed her fenced in yard as well. He also got along very nicely with her dog and her daughter. She kept me informed of how Oaklie was doing each day. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see how happy he was. Brenda was very trustworthy with him and took great care of him. I am definitely using her again.”
“Andrea and David were great. I need someone last minute and they were grateful to help. They provided updates on Bella and made me feel comfortable with being away from her.”
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
“She was awesome 😀😀 Kept me up to date with info and pics of them. She was great and would def use again and again. She also took them in with a late notice too, she was the best 😀”
“I usually go with a pet boarding facility but wanted to try something different. Meaghan was very responsive and flexible with my schedule. She welcomed my 2 frenchies with open arms no hesitation. She made me feel more comfortable with her than taking them to a pet paradise.”
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Kelly was an amazing host !! She couldn’t have been more accommodating and hospitable to my elderly lady dog, Lacy. Kelly’s farm residence is perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Lacy to stay while I was traveling. I would definitely recommend Kelly 🐶❤️💫”
“Shannon was super flexible with the times I needed and even allowed me to bring over pongos items the day before! She sent pictures the entire time of his stay which really put my mind at ease! She also has 2 other dogs that Pongo got to run around with while he was there. I know he had a blast and Shannon was phenomenal! She will be my go to for any over night stays!”
“This is the first time I have used Debra and I have NO REGRETS!!! The meets and greet went well and the one night stay for our mini labradoodle (Andy) went very well. Plenty of pictures and our Andy seemed to enjoy himself. She was attentive to our comments when we dropped the dog off and provided feedback when we picked up the dog. We have booked Debra to provided service for us for two weeks while we are away in February, we now have peace of mind concerning the care for our Andy. Thanks for the very professional service.”
