House Sitting in Woodstock, Jacksonville, FL

“Our pets get so excited when they see Robyn n Steve!! We always appreciate them staying in our home with our fur babies while we are away. They are the best they go above and beyond always!! We love them.”

“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”

“Johana was great with my Yuki. Yuki needs her medicine twice per day, early in the morning and in the evening and Johana was able to make sure she was taken care of. It's not easy for me to trust that Yuki is being taken care of, but Johana did a great job and sent me notes to know that she was ok and happy and safe. She went the extra mile for me and I really appreciate how nice and supportive she is.”

“After having a terrible experience with another sitter through Rover I cannot recommend Jeweliana & Riley enough!!!! They provided easy communication and lots of photos completely erasing the stress I normally feel when we are away from our pets on travel. We will definitely be using them again!!!”

Gail S.

“Mandy did such a wonderful job taking care of Brownie while we were out of town. It was Brownie’s first stay as an only dog as his sister recently passed the rainbow bridge so we were nervous about leaving him for so many days but Mandy eased the worry. She took many photos and gave regular updates. We will 100 percent use her again.”

“Jamie was quick to fill in on a last minute request. She did a same day meet n greet and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. She sent photos and updates the entire time she was housesitting with our 2 dogs and gave us peace of mind that they were in great hands while we traveled. Will be reaching out to her again when we travel.”

About: Hi, I'm Jess and I have a deep love for animals, they have always been one of the greatest joys in my life! My very first job, at just 11 years old, was walking all the dogs in my neighborhood. Every birthday wish I made as a kid was for a dog of my own, and when I turned 12, my mom finally blessed me with my baby, Toto. Even at that young age, I cared for him with so much love, nurture, and responsibility. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, ferrets, horses, goats, and all kinds of animals. Whether it’s going on long walks, cleanup, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s hands, and I don’t take that lightly. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, with lots of attention, affection, and care. I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make life a little easier for both of you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day as well as evenings. I love incorporating time with animals and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific needs and routine. When I’m caring for your baby(ies), I always make sure to respect both the pet’s routine, demeanor, boundaries, and the owner’s space. Whether I’m at your home or mine, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would with you. I’ll follow any instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or giving extra cuddles. Your pet will feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. When they’re with me, they’ll be treated like family. I’ll give them all the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve, while making sure they stay happy, healthy, and relaxed. My goal is always to make them feel at home, wherever they are.

About: Hi there! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience working at Pet Paradise and Dogtopia, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. On top of that, I’ve been a lifelong pet owner—dogs, cats, hamsters, and even snakes! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, your pets will always feel safe and loved with me. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I start and end my days with my own two cats, Anais and Cleo, so I’m already in the rhythm of feedings, walks, and playtime. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends for drop-ins, walks, or sitting, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes. I take extra care with things like locking up, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they’re comfortable in their own environment. You can trust that your home and pets will be safe and well cared for.

“Shaná, we are blessed having you care for our fur children! When we return home, they’re always so happy! The level of comfort they experience being able to stay in their home when we are away is priceless! Shaná, thank you for leaving our home in exceptional condition each time you stay. We look forward to booking your services again 💗💚🙂”

“Therisa (TJ) was fantastic staying in our home to watch our very rambunctious Great Dane and pointer/lab mix. She was very communicative and gave me detailed updates about the pups and her stay at our house. We highly recommend Therisa and we look forward to being able use her services again in the future. Thank you!”

Larissa F.

“I travel frequently for work and added stress of worrying about my dudes is not something I want! Karla is terrific and the boys love her! She’s stayed with my babes a few times for almost a week at a time. She’s incredible about sending messages and photos, is easy to get in touch with and I know when I get home the boys will be happy, healthy, and taken care of (as well as my excessive amount of plants) Thank you!”

Kayla L.

“Pam was AMAZING with our 2 cats and our dog. We had her stay at our house and she was the perfect sitter. We had flight issues and she had no problem extending her stay for another night. It is scary leaving your pets, but Pam put our minds at ease! We will definitely be using her again (:”

Brooke W.

“Emily was a great sitter and helped me a ton with my dog! Great communication great job and I’d absolutely rebook/recommend her services.”

Lindsi J.

“Emma was an incredible help! We were traveling on short notice, and she graciously accepted our request. Goliath was well-cared for, and Emma kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our time away. We will use her again for sure!”

About: Life long animal lover. Cat owner since Elementary school. Currently have 3. All different breeds. I have experience with dogs too as I used to have 2 Labs. I often dog sit for my friends on weekends so figured I'd give this a go as well. Love meeting new pets I have lots of free time on the weekends and love going on walks whether its hot or cold. Most evenings in my work week are free. Pretty flexible if there are some pop up opportunities. I just love hanging out with animals in my free time. Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!

About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

About: I grew up on a small farm where my family bred, and raised deer dogs. I have been caring for animals my whole life, and dogs are my favorite. I am very respectful, and responsible. I have reliable transportation, and can travel in the greater Jax area. I cannot currently have a dog of my own so this is a great way for me to connect with animals while also helping you out. Additionally, my best friend is a professional dog trainer. I have learned alot from her over the years. So if your dog is trained, or training I am well versed in commands, and how to maintain their progress. I’m happy to hop on a phone call prior to care as I want you to know your animal is in good hands! I am single, child free, and animal free. I am a business owner, and artist. Therefore, I am self employed and my schedule is quite flexible. I am happy to provide service during weekdays, evenings, overnight, or weekends. I will be caring for your pets in your home, and will adhere to all instructions meticulously. I understand that your pet is part of your family, and I will always treat them with care and respect. I do my best to create a bond with your pet so that they feel comfortable, and to ensure they feel safe. I am extremely reliable, accountable, and responsible.

“Michael took great care of Phil & Penni while I was away, and will be taking care of them again over the Easter holiday weekend.”
