“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”
“We absolutely appreciated Gabby staying with our crew! She was flexible on the hours and took fabulous care of our dogs and snuggled with the cats! I did not worry about them while we were gone at all. She sent plenty of updates and pictures. We would absolutely work with her again!”
“Georgia house sat for us for a few days. She took excellent care of our dog while we were gone. She checked in with us daily and was very responsive when we would text to check in. Georgia is also very knowledgeable about dogs and has provided us guidance to mend our dog's separation anxiety. I really recommend Georgia as she's very and caring and clearly knows what she's doing.”
“Lauren was great with my dog, she sent several pictures through the day and always kept me updated. I was super comfortable with her being in my place with my dog and had no complaints!”
“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”
“Ari was great with my older cocker spaniel. She stayed in my apartment and spent almost every day all day with her. Gave her all of the attention and love she needed. Made sure she was let out often and had no accidents in the house. While I was on vacation I got several updates a day including pictures and videos. It was all around a perfect experience. 10/10 would recommend to all of my family and friends. Will definitely use her services again. You will not regret using Ari for your pets needs!”
“Allyson was amazing taking care of our furry baby!! She sent photos and gave us updates. We are happy to have her care for our Eli whenever she is available! Thank you Allyson!!!”
“Valentina went above and beyond for us. We were supposed to arrive on Monday night but we got stuck on I-95 overnight during the crazy road closures with the ice and snow and didn’t know when we were going to get home and she went over again the next morning to feed and walk our dog even though I hadn’t originally scheduled her for that day. It really helped us out and eased our worries while we were dealing with all the stress of being stranded on the freeway.”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of our 6-month old golden retriever and 7-year old cat. She took our dog on daily walks and made sure to give equal time and attention to our cat. She kept our house clean, brought in our mail, and even did a load of laundry! She also sent us photos and updates about our pets while we were away. Highly recommend booking her!”
About: I greatly enjoy meeting and caring for everyone and anyone’s pets! Learning how they each communicate as well as helping them live peaceful, more fun, and enriched lives. I also work a part time job so besides my shifts there I’m happy to be available for walks and check ins! I’m almost always available in the afternoons and evenings but mornings may vary. When visiting a home to care for a pet I’m sure to give them time to greet me however they feel comfortable and talk to them as much as they need while preparing them for a walk &/or cleaning their space.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life.. I have been the sole owner/operator for the past 10 years of a local pet sitting & walking business. I have taken care of all types and sizes of dogs, from small chihuahua size to small or large laberdoodles to great danes. I have experience in working with dogs who are stubborn eaters, and regular age dogs to senior dogs who require medication and extra care. My rates are very competitive. From a $35 daily walk/check in while at work or have a longer event to attend to a standard overnight which includes a 10 hour overnight stay, like 8pm-6am with 1 mid day potty/meal break which is $85 If you need a longer overnight stay like 20 hours round the clock/constant concierge care at your house then the rate will be $100 per night. I have a fabulous list of references from clients that have been with me for anywhere from 4 to the full 10 years in operation. I'm currently only doing 1 weekly dog walking job, unfortunately due to the heartbreaking recent loss of one of my longest daily walking and sitting clients. My current daily walking job is only 3 days a week, any 3 days between M-F and is only for 30/35 mins and can be done anytime between 11am to 3pm. The rest of the time I am currently available and due to the flexibility of the current job, I have a very open availability. I only take dogs on leashed walks and during temperatures that are safe for the dog's health. I'm very respectful of what the parents want and specific details for the happiness of their dog. I'm very attentive when I'm with the dog to make sure they are safe at all times. I do in client's home sitting for almost all my clients, and they live it. They will verify trustworthiness, loyalty and respect of their home. I also trying to make it affordable compared to the average median for Jacksonville, FL.
“Autumn responded immediately to watch my fur baby while I made an urgent trip to visit my Aunt in the hospital. When I first met her, I saw she was a genuine person who was happy to meet me and our puppy. I needed someone I could trust during a family emergency and her kindness took away a lot of the stress. She even asked about my Aunt. I can't thank her enough for responding to the call and providing the care we needed.”

About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover with a flexible schedule and a genuine passion for making pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I’m especially experienced with long-term, in-home stays, and I understand how important it is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog is ready for an adventure or perfectly content being a professional couch potato, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐶 I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with extra care needs, including administering oral medications and routine injections, preparing and following special diets, and keeping up with individual care routines. I understand that older dogs may need a little more patience, a slower pace, extra comfort, or simply someone who pays close attention to the details. I’m happy to follow your veterinarian-approved care instructions and your established routine. I also have personal experience with rambunctious Lab puppies, so I’m comfortable with the extra energy, enthusiasm, and occasional chaos that comes with young dogs! I’ve worked on basic manners, boundaries, consistency, and reinforcing good behavior. If you’d like, I can incorporate basic training and positive reinforcement into walks and daily activities while I’m caring for your dog. When I’m not hanging out with four-legged friends, you’ll usually find me enjoying nature, getting outside, or catching some live music. I love being active and exploring, but I’m equally happy having a quiet evening at home with a furry sidekick. My schedule is fully open, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time and attention rather than squeezing them into a packed schedule. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved — and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you have a high-energy puppy, a senior sweetheart, or a dog who needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care they’re used to. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 When you need me, I'm there! My schedule is fully open. I work around your schedule in order to make sure you and your pet are getting the best service possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine and care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and secure, and pay attention to the little details that help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, medications, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: As an animal lover, I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. With my service, you can rest assured your pet will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt pet care. I have prior experience on the “Wag!” app and I’m so excited to rediscover the Rover community. I look forward to helping with your furry companion!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Baldwin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Baldwin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Baldwin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
