“Ralphie had so much fun with Bridget and her family! They sent daily pictures, were very responsive and treated Ralphie like one of their own. We will definitely book again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“One week ago, I'd never thought of leaving my dogs with someone, but today I can whole-heartedly recommend it! Amelia and her lovely family made my Border Collie babies feel at-home and safe even when I was thousands of miles away. Her thoughtful attention-to-detail and frequent Pupdates (with photos!) made my withdrawal from them much easier (and I'm sure they were having so much fun with Daisy that they forgot to miss me :) 100 per cent recommend and will definitely book again next time I have to leave them in town! Thank you so much, Amelia, God Bless you and yours <3”
“Oreo loves Christina. She is absolutely fantastic! She treated our dog, Oreo like family. He was so happy and well-cared for. Oreo is a picky eater but Christina is so patient to him and always makes sure that he will eat his food. We received daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!!”
“Coach had a great time with Heather and her family. She was very communicative and sent me home with one tired dog! We would definitely leave Coach in Heather’s care again.”
“Dani was amazing! She had everything already set up to welcome little Blueberry into her home. She was sweet and kind. Blueberry was instantly right at home. Dani took great care of her and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be leaving Blueberry with Dani again when I go out of town!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and started professionally pet sitting about 10 years ago when I retired. I have a fenced yard and can also walk your dogs throughout in my neighborhood if it’s under 50 lbs (for safety reasons). I’m 75 and am home during the day to cuddle your furry babies! Most days, I’ll go out to run errands or go to the gym. I like to take a walk in the morning by myself around my neighborhood. I’m at home the rest of the day usually unless I have an appointment. I have a fenced backyard and a screened in porch. I don’t require a crate for your dog or cat as long as they are potty trained.
“Such a great experience with Mariana. Great communication before and during this visit! I can tell Gunner had a great time and came home exhausted! Thank you for taking such excellent care of him!”
“Denise went above and beyond when caring for my little poodle. She took care of her just like she would her own, and made sure she was at home and comfortable. I really enjoyed getting updates and pictures during her stay! Thank you again for the great care! 🙏🩷”
“We were very happy with Amy. Our dogs seemed to have a great time. Next day our one dog was moping around cause she missed the yard and her little friend. Amy was just great. She has a very sweet personality and loves your dog like her own two. We will use her services a lot in future days for day care and longer. I highly recommend her services.”
“Melinda is so amazing and my Benny really enjoyed his stay. She gives updates throughout the day. She made my experience as a new puppy mom very easy. We will be regulars.”
“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
About: Hello, I have been a dog sitter for over 10 years. I understand that it can be scary to your fur baby to be away from home or with someone they may not know well. I'm retired so I can spend time with them to get to know their personality. To play or cuddle or just rest. I have a fenced, shady, back yard for the nature loving pups. I keep one dog at a time. The other dog at my home is my 10 year old mini schnauzer, Finn. Beside boarding I do wellness visits to your home that can include administering medicine, mobility checks for seniors, or just companionship. As well, I offer day care if that better fits your needs. I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid which includes CPR training. All dogs must be spade/neutered. I am not equipped to care for puppies, so I don't take dogs under 1 year old. Also, I love cats, but I'm allergic to them. I'm available during weekends and holidays. I'm flexible and will work to accommodate your schedule. Most importantly, I love dogs, they're awesome. I treat them all as though they were mine. See you soon at a meet and greet! My schedule allows me to work around the dog's needs. If I need to run out, I try not to be gone more than an hour. In that case, I turn doggie cameras on to monitor everything while I'm gone. I am within eyesight of the dog during the day inside. When we go out into the yard, I don't leave them alone there. I will crate the dog if you want them crated. I try to keep their routine the way they are used to it.

“I am so grateful to have found Kelly! She is responsive, punctual, a great communicator, and my kitties have taken to her immediately. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Becky was an amazing communicator and consistently reached out with updates on both cats. She went above and beyond, putting packages inside and generally just taking care of things even outside of the kittie care if she saw it was needed. Really appreciate her care and being so flexible at the last minute to take on a long-term gig. Becky was also really nice dealing with active indoor & outdoor construction projects at our house, as well as housecleaning during the time she took care of our animals, which didn’t make it easy for her to do the job. Thank you Becky for keeping our cats happy during our time away! Will definitely book her again next time we are out of town if she’s willing to take us on again!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for our two cats, Mila and Rudy, during our 7-day trip. She was professional, reliable, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She sent daily updates and photos whenever she could find our two little hiders, which we really appreciated! When we returned home, the litter boxes were clean, the water bowls were fresh, and most importantly, Mila and Rudy were happy and well cared for. It was clear that Michelle took her responsibilities seriously and treated our cats with kindness and care. We are grateful for her help and would be happy to have her watch Mila and Rudy again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾💕”
“Renee was once again awesome. My cat, Juice, is very comfortable with her and she’s gives all the right details when filling out the reports at the end of every visit. Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa was quick to respond last minute when we needed help with our cats. She was very kind and spent time with the cats. She even got our scaredy cat out from under the bed!”
“Adri was on time, attentive to all of our furry friends’ needs, and watchful about everything going on at our house!! She communicated thoroughly and we had complete confidence that all of our needs were being met! We will definitely have our pets’ new best friend back to watch them again soon!!”
About: I am comfortable taking care of cats who need oral medications, seniors with dementia, and cats with special needs. My cat Sophie had Crohn’s disease and dementia so I had to give her daily medication throughout her life.
“Very easy to communicate with Michelle. She is very responsible and thorough and she really cared about his well being. I will definitely hire her in the future. Homer was in excellent hands!”
“Colleen took great care of Bess and even made good friends with this shy cat. She had a good solution to move the auto feeder when needed and kept the feeding and litter areas spotless. Would definitely use Colleen again and would certainly recommend her highly.”
“Thank you Tara. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of. I appreciate booking her last minute. We usually can have family watch our pups, but we will definitely call Tara again if we need a sitter.”
“5/5 – Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! 🌟 Molly was an absolute gem as our cat and house sitter. From the moment we met for the meet & greet, she came across as so professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — she instantly put our minds at ease. She asked all the right questions, took detailed notes, and made us feel completely confident leaving our home and our shy boy, Black Fury, in her hands. During the sit, she went above and beyond in every way. Black Fury (who normally hides from anyone new for days) warmed up to her beautifully — I still can’t quite believe it! We received lovely regular updates with little stories about their day, which meant the world to us while we were away. Our home was looked after with such care, everything was spotless, and it honestly felt like Molly was just another member of the household. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, kind, and capable. It was truly a pleasure having her in our home, and we would welcome her back with open arms in a heartbeat. We’re already looking forward to booking her again next time we travel! Thank you so much, Molly — you’re the best! 🐾🏡”
About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence. I currently care for five dogs of my own, all with different personalities and needs, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, walks, feeding schedules, medications and individual care. I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.
About: Through volunteer work with a cat rescue organization, I’ve provided hands-on care for stray and highly timid cats. Working with both rescue cats and my own has given me a strong understanding of cat behavior, routines, and body language. I’ve been around cats since I was a baby and currently have three of my own. I’ve also cared for cats with special needs who required daily oral medication, so I’m familiar with medication administration. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, litter box habits, and all the small details that help keep cats healthy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“Keith is very responsible and kind. He told me about how my cat was doing every day and he got him to warm up and socialize. Kieth is fantastic and I would use him again for sure!”

“I am so grateful to have found Mariana to take care of my dog Bentley. She is a fantastic, caring and loving person and Bentley had a wonderful, fun, and safe time with Mariana. While I was out on vacation, Mariana took care of Bentley so professional and so sweet. I will leave Bentley again with Mariana without a doubt. Thank you.”
“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”
“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”
“Molly is very kind and took excellent care of our special needs dog, Bandit. She keeps a super clean environment and goes the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs as well as crazy hipper dogs who just want attention. I am structured and kind and prefer pets to people. I own my own business and am available to board your pups all days of the week and weekends. I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I have raised golden retrievers but now only have one black lab (Starlight) and I understand the stress of leaving our fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog. I can crate your dog if that is your wishes but my dog is friendly. I have an 8 year old black lab.
“Tatum did a great job watching our Charlotte! Tatum was super flexible and accommodating with a last minute visit. While we were gone, she stayed in contact with us and sent pictures and updates. Charlotte was happy and comfortable at her home. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience! This was a pretty last-minute booking while we were visiting St. Augustine, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. Clara was well cared for and happy when we picked her up, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out for the day. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her flexibility—especially when we ended up running late due to traffic. She was very understanding and kind about it, which meant a lot. We would absolutely trust her with Clara again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care!”

About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.

About: I was raised on a farm where dogs were part of everyday life and treated like family. Growing up around working and companion dogs taught me responsibility, consistency, and a deep respect for animals from a young age. I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12 and have experience with dogs of all ages and needs, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs with hip or mobility issues who require help with eating, walking, and bathroom breaks. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to follow their routines, energy levels, and comfort needs closely. I have trained all of my own dogs and can be trusted to reinforce any training, commands, or routines you already have in place while you’re away for the day or on vacation. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for just like they would at home, while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I have cared for pets since birth coming from an animal loving family. It is my upmost belief that our furry friends are apart of our family so they deserve to be treated with the upmost love and care. I am an 8.5 year United States Navy veteran. I set aside time daily to have the opportunity to care for pets in need of care. I currently do not have any other pets in home so I am destined to have my full undivided focus on your extended family member/ members.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households.

About: Animals aren't just a hobby for me—they have been my entire life. I have been proudly caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and for over twenty years, I have successfully raised and parented both on my own. Because of this lifelong devotion, I am deeply fluent in both "dog" and "cat," understanding their unique personalities, cues, and needs at a core level. When your fur baby stays with me, they aren't just being "watched"; they are being welcomed into a home backed by decades of hands-on expertise and a lifetime of genuine love. You can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in the hands of an experienced, dedicated, lifelong pet advocate. By day, I am a proud, full-time 12-month employee with the St. Johns County School District. Because of my weekday commitment to our schools, I dedicate my weekends entirely to your fur babies! I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow your exact instructions to the letter. During my visits, I don't just rush in and out; I make sure your pet gets quality one-on-one time. For dogs, that means brisk walks, fresh water, and active play. For cats, it means clean litter boxes, fresh food, and interactive play or gentle socialization depending on their mood.

“Dani was amazing! She had everything already set up to welcome little Blueberry into her home. She was sweet and kind. Blueberry was instantly right at home. Dani took great care of her and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be leaving Blueberry with Dani again when I go out of town!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and started professionally pet sitting about 10 years ago when I retired. I have a fenced yard and can also walk your dogs throughout in my neighborhood if it’s under 50 lbs (for safety reasons). I’m 75 and am home during the day to cuddle your furry babies! Most days, I’ll go out to run errands or go to the gym. I like to take a walk in the morning by myself around my neighborhood. I’m at home the rest of the day usually unless I have an appointment. I have a fenced backyard and a screened in porch. I don’t require a crate for your dog or cat as long as they are potty trained.
“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
About: I live a block from the beach & can guarantee a sunrise and sunset walk daily. I also work from home, so your doggo will have company. I have a fenced yard and an XL crate, if you need one. I've had two big/XL dogs. My last dog passed away recently (she was 14) and I'm not ready to get another dog of my own yet. I live at the beach, so we'll enjoy sunrise & sunset walks daily to avoid the hot afternoon pavement. Frequent bathroom breaks are also possible in my fenced yard. I work from home (mostly conference calls) so I'm pretty flexible. Doggos can mostly have free reign of the house, depending on the owner's confidence. I also have a large crate if supervision is needed for the dog's safety. I've had XL & large dogs for the last 15 years (no dogs in the house currently)
“Lisa was a great sitter! We got lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog had so much outdoor playtime and other dog friends to play with. This is a great house where he got lots of attention from everyone in the family. We will definitely Use for booking again. Thank you, Lisa!”
“I would love to say she was horrible so no one books her when I need her…lol. But the truth is; she is absolutely amazing. Took such good care of my furbaby. Nellie is great with communication too and sent me picture updates which I really appreciated. Since this was my first time leaving my pup with someone. I am absolutely only using her is possible.”
“Natalie was wonderful, a true dog lover, you can tell when animals "feel" an animal lover. Her children are as well and her Mom who helped. She was very communicative as well without any confusion. Very much appreciated! I would highly recommend!!”
“Roseanna takes amazing care of our fur babies! She keeps us updated with messages and photos and makes sure they stay active and engaged. When we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for, which says it all. We had total peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“We are repeat clients and are very grateful for the extra attention and care that Taqueria and her family gave Riley when she became unwell during our out of town trip. She is definitely a patient, caring and responsible!”
