“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.”
“Cindee (grandma G ) is absolutely amazing! She is such a nice person and obviously loves the pups as her own. She has a fabulous yard and home for the pups.”
“Wow!! This was my first time using the app and what can I say I’m beyond impressed. Katie and her family had made this such a wonderful experience I’m soo happy that I was able to be paired with such an amazing sitter for my “TEDDY”. Katie always communicated with me by sending me pictures and videos . Thank you soo much I will hope that we see you again ❤️”
“Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed her stay; she played all day, and I was always in the loop, thanks to their super affectionate messages. Such an incredible family! We will definitely be back. I have no words to thank them!”
“Always a great experience when Emma watches Margie! She always sends pictures and keeps us updated on her stay! Margie always looks so happy and cared for! ❤️”
“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!”
“Randy and his family were wonderful! We received tons of picture and video updates that proved our pup probably had more fun than us while we were away. She was well socialized, ate, played, and slept well. They really get to know the dogs in their care and put make every effort to make sure they are comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Patti and William were great with Georgia! They took really good care of her, sent updates and cute photos, and were super kind and easy to communicate with. I’d definitely book with them again 😊”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were wonderful. They sent us pics of Abby every day while we were on vacation. We could tell Abby was loved and enjoyed her time with them. She also got to make friends with their dog Pancake who kept Abby company while we were away. Recommend 100%”
“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.”
“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”
“Roogles had so much fun staying with Rachel and her family! This is the longest we have ever been away from Roogles, but Rachel sent several pics and it was clear that he was happy and fit right in with her family. Rachel has a sweet family that clearly loves animals! Their dog Dan-O is Roogles new best friend! When we picked him up, he didn’t run for the door like he usually does, he wanted to stay! When we got home, Roogles roamed our house looking for Dan-O! Rachel is definitely our number one pick in the future!”
“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!”
“It was my first time using this Rover app for my puppy and I have to say Blanca was amazing with my puppy Nori. Definitely will be calling her again . She was very loving towards her and my puppy seemed very happy.”
“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Charlayda (Lay) was truly a blessing. My partner and I were driving down from New York and needed someone to sit for both our cats. Charlayda accommodated me and my partner on such short notice (and went above and beyond for us). One of my cats peed in their carrier bag and Charlayda cleaned not only my cats but the bag as well. What we loved most about Charlayda was how she kept us updated with text and pictures of our cats. It definitely eased our minds and we couldn’t have been happier. We will definitely be using Charlayda in the near future and I highly recommend her and her services. She’s very attentive, caring, and you can honestly tell she genuinely has a passion for animals. Thanks again for everything.”

“Jeweliana and Riley were super attentive with our kitties while we were gone! Next time we go on a trip, we are definitely having them watch our cats again. 😼”
About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

About: I’ve loved cats my whole life and I think they’re are truly the best! I have three kitties - Dodo (8y, Siberian, adopted in 2021), Rexi (2y, shorthair, adopted in 2024) and Vision (1y, shorthair, rescued in 2025). I also take care of the stray cats in my neighborhood and participate in TNR (trap-neuter-release) programs. I often look after my friends cats when they are out of town. People love to say I’m a cat lady, and I take it as a compliment. Vision is blind so I have experience with taking care of cats with disabilities, as well as can give oral medication. I would love to take care of your kitties!
“Karen looked after our 5 rescue kittens that we found 2 weeks before our vacation. She took photos on each visit which definitely it made it easier for us to relax knowing they were being well looked after while we were away. We will definitely trust her again to look after the two that we are keeping in the future. Thanks so much Karen ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Marilyn is such a great sitter for my Mason! He has some quirks when I’m out of town and she catered to all of them. He was so happy in the photos she sent.”
About: I have never had cats of my own, but have lived with several that I helped look after, and have watched for friends and family. I have some experience with senior cats and giving medicine, but not to the extent I have with dogs.
“Hailey was so amazing with our two kitties! I highly recommend you book with her if you want your fur babies to receive excellent care while you’re away. The booking process was smooth due to Hailey’s kindness, professionalism, and flexibility. Thank you again!!”

“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. :)”
“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.

“Maggie was absolutely wonderful with my cats. She was an easy choice for me - she communicated professionally, was very cheery at our meet and greet, and listened intently to every detail I shared about my cats. She cared for my cats like they were her own! I highly recommend her!”
“Emily did such an awesome job dropping in to take care of our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. My husband and I had been hesitant to travel the last year since they both had health issues and required daily medication. Emily restored our confidence that we can travel again and know our babies are getting the best care even when we're gone. She is wonderful! We will definitely book in the future”
“Samantha is a very respectful and polite lady. She asked me some of the relevant information I forgot to mention and asked what I'd like her to do to make sure we had the same goal. She checked in and out when coming and going and provided me with how the dog did. Great pick!!”

“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. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I’m in Florida for the holidays. They send soooo many pictures and videos. It’s wonderful!”

“Atlas had so much fun with Nhi! She was flexible and communicated with me every step of the way! She also got some amazing pictures of my Atlas! If I’m ever in Jacksonville in the future, I’m sure Atlas would love to hangout with her 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!
“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.”

I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including puppies and seniors, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease while you’re away 💗 I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”
“Layda is simply the best dogsitter around! I would trust her with Nala any and every day. She's so sweet and caring and takes the best care of Nala!! Definitely have her watch your pups, she's the best!”
“Wendy is fantastic!! We decided at the last minute to try to find a pet sitter while we went to the game. She was accommodating with timing and took great care of our pups. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day. I was nervous to leave them with someone but I would definitely use her again!”
“My two dogs loved going to daycare with Megan! She was very good at providing care suited to their inidividual temperaments-- my Tate is an independent explorer, and she allowed him to do his thing, while my little Bea is more timid, so she gave her a quieter space where she could relax while she was getting used to the other dogs before she warmed up and was ready to interact. Megan kept me updated with photos and videos so I knew my pups were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I would highly recommend Megan!”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 3 years. I can adminístrate oral medicine or any special care you may request. I have lot of patience and time to spend with your pets. They’ll feel like they’re at home. I’m pretty much all day at my house. Except when I have to go out for a couple hours to run some errands, so your doggy or cat won’t feel lonely. I have a small fenced backyard perfect for potty breaks and I can also provide exercise if you would like too, my husband and I love to walk around the area and visit different dogs parks. We also have a extremely friendly dog called Kaya. She is a Samoyed and she is almost 2. We also have a 6 month old kitty that we adopted since he was 1 month old. Both of them are best friends and would love to have more friends to play around in the house. Send me a message if you have any questing I’ll be very happy to help.
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.
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.
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals since I was about 12. Mostly dogs but I’ve taken care of cats, Birds, snakes, hamsters, and bunnies. I am very attentive and caring. You’re pet will be in extremely good hands with me. I am going to start working from home in 2 weeks time so I will have ample time to take care of your little angels and give them the attention they need. I can start boarding on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Sundays can be discussed as well. My apartment building has a wide spread yard for the dogs to run around a bit but I also have reliable transportation for doggy park days!

About: Hello, I have YEARS of experience with all kinds of dogs and cats. I have fostered/adopted many pets over the years and feel it has gave me the experience necessary to handle all types of temperaments and personalities😊. I take very well care of every animal in my possession and am very observant of their needs so would not have to worry about their safety with me! I consider myself to have a great understanding of animal body language so I am great with animals that might not be the friendliest as well. I work from home so can provide pictures and updates whenever you’d like to check in! I work from home so I have plenty of time for your furry friends! I am quite the home body so they would be well watched over 😊 I have a fenced in yard and a couple of friendly dogs myself to keep your pets company!

I have experience with in home pet sitting as well as drop by visits. I can give most medications and love detailed instructions to give the best care possible. I currently work part time in the evenings and will be in college in the spring/fall time. I am available during the summer most hours and am happy to make things work as best as possible. I do not have a yard but live in a smaller HOA with areas to take longer walks and many grass spots for potty breaks. In my home the fur baby will have free rein of the upstairs and downstairs as long as I am home or will have the second bedroom to their selves. In the clients home I love a detailed list so I can do whatever the fur kiddo is used to on a daily routine.
“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”
“Macy is punctual and wonderful with my dog. I appreciate the effort she puts into each walk and really makes the most out of the time. Highly recommended her.”
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.

“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.”

About: I've taken care of pets, mostly cats, since I was 8. My mom's side of the family were vet techs and farm kids, so I've grown up knowing how to take care. I've also handled multiple special needs animals, both dogs and cats with skin and diet issues. I understand how animals can be with new people, and take the time and energy to let them trust me. I will be working and going to school in the upcoming spring semester. I like to travel so certain dates may be unavailable, however, I love to take care of animals and will dedicate my time to their care. I follow instructions that the owner would like, and supervise their fur-baby to keep them safe from eating things they shouldn't, staying within their allowed area, and most importantly, being able to be themselves and play or relax. I understand how to give medications, even to those pets that do not like taking them. I want to give the care that I would want my pets to have.

I feel comfortable giving baths, taking walks, puppy, play dates, cleaning up messes, and all the fun in between!

I am comfortable pet sitting, cleaning up messes, going for walks, and providing lots of love.
About: Hello there! I’m a teacher and mom to two fur babies of my own. I’ve had lots of experience as a sitter and pet owner.

About: I have had a pitbull for about 4 years now and my girlfriend has a Maltese. I have yet to meet a dog that is not completely in love with me. I’ve fed, walked and cared for puppies all the way to 15 year old dogs. I am well rounded in caring for pets. I’m in the military and I’m currently off work for about 2 months. I’m available all day every day, 24/7. You can schedule anytime, don’t feel like you’re being a bother! I typically take my girlfriend and I’s dogs out in the morning around 7am, lunch time, dinner time and before we go to bed. Depending on the how the pups feel, we can go for mile walks or just a short trip around the block
About: I’ve had 3 of my own dogs of all sizes and have also had plenty of experience walking and taking care of dogs of all ages for years! I love them more than anything!! I have a very flexible schedule. I currently do school and work from home. Although I do not have a yard, there is a dog park in my building, along with a grooming station/room. If need be, I can also walk your doggies around the area. I am a huge dog lover, and missing my pets from back home! I currently work and study from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop offs or pick ups early mornings or late nights. There is no rush with me. I do not have children or other pets in the home, just friends who stop by daily. Your pet would definitely have my undivided attention.
“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.”

“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Wendy is an exceptional sitter!! She took suvh great care of my baby. She sent pics daily and kept me updated and my baby busy. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Wendy!”
“Cindee (grandma G ) is absolutely amazing! She is such a nice person and obviously loves the pups as her own. She has a fabulous yard and home for the pups.”
“Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed her stay; she played all day, and I was always in the loop, thanks to their super affectionate messages. Such an incredible family! We will definitely be back. I have no words to thank them!”
“Always a great experience when Emma watches Margie! She always sends pictures and keeps us updated on her stay! Margie always looks so happy and cared for! ❤️”
“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!”
“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”
“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!”
“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Charlayda (Lay) was truly a blessing. My partner and I were driving down from New York and needed someone to sit for both our cats. Charlayda accommodated me and my partner on such short notice (and went above and beyond for us). One of my cats peed in their carrier bag and Charlayda cleaned not only my cats but the bag as well. What we loved most about Charlayda was how she kept us updated with text and pictures of our cats. It definitely eased our minds and we couldn’t have been happier. We will definitely be using Charlayda in the near future and I highly recommend her and her services. She’s very attentive, caring, and you can honestly tell she genuinely has a passion for animals. Thanks again for everything.”
“Sayla loves every trip she has to Shannon's. She plays so hard it takes her a whole day of rest to recoup! Wonderful to have someone to trust for our girl.”
“I appreciate Deandrea for everything ! This was our first time using pet sitting services and she took great care of our baby and kept us up to date on everything. She was awesome !”
“Andrea and David were wonderful! They provided daily updates and captured tons of great pictures! Riggins enjoyed his time with them - they were great!”
“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!”
“Alysia was wonderful with my rambunctious 60lbs dog. She walked him and treated him like family. I was very nervous to leave him with someone he'd never met but he was so well cared for and she was so kind I was able to conduct my out of town business with confidence. I highly recommend her and plan to be using her again. Thank you so much Alysia and Gus thanks you too. ♥️”
“Debra was wonderful. I got several updates daily of my pups activities and she was very happy and played a lot. Will definately have Debra watch my dog next time I am out of town!”
“Tyler you are the best. Thank you for take care for this nine days of our Luna, for supplying all your medications and give to her all your love specially your kids, for the photos and updates everyday. Again, you are the best❤️❤️”
“Bryce was very attentive and sent pictures daily. He had our pup for about a week and I had no complaints. He is flexible and responds quickly. Would definitely use again!”
