“Nicholas and Melissa are absolutely wonderful. My dog Luci had small medical issue right before I had to go out of town for work. Melissa stayed with my pup and took amazing care of her. She she treated Luci as if she was her own, and kept me up to date the entire time. Melissa made a very stressful situation much easier for me and my girl. I highly recommend both Melissa and Nicholas if you need caring and dependable pet care. Both of them are truly animal lovers, and I am so incredibly grateful I met them.”
About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.
“Sam was absolutely perfect with our pets and our home. Everyone was happy when we got back and Sam even left a light on for us as we were returning after dark. Highly recommend him to take care of your pets and home. He’s such a calm presence that even our high strung Chinese Crested took to him in no time.”
“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!”

“Ariana took great care of our cavapoo over Labor Day weekend. She stayed at our home, and everything looked great when we returned. Overall very happy! Would book her again in the future.”
About: I have been a volunteer at my county animal shelter for more than 12 years. I specialize in socializing and earning the trust of scared dogs. I'm comfortable with all breeds. I am also an active kitten and mom/kitten foster for the shelter. I assist medical staff in surgery prep and recovery. I am able to administer medications including insulin for diabetic animals. I am retired from a long career in health insurance and my 2nd career as a REALTOR. I have full time availability to care for animals. I have a fenced yard. I have 3 dog friendly dogs and 5 cats. Short term boarders can be housed in a bedroom with full comforts and will be integrated as everyone is comfortable. Safety is paramount and not all animals will always appreciate each other so case by case analysis is required.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 9 and dogs since I was 10. I usually bond with animals quickly and have been trusted to care for family pets since I was a child. I walk, run, feed, play, bathe and give medicine as needed (recommended by veterinarian) with love and undivided attention and always make sure to go that extra mile to make a pet feel loved and cared for, according to their needs. I’m available 4:30 am- 11:30pm on weekdays and weekends. The only time I may not be available is Fridays after 7pm and Saturday up until 7pm, but I’m extremely flexible. I can easily feed, play, walk etc according to your “fur baby’s” needs, no task is too difficult. I make sure the pet feels safe and keep them away from hazards and anything/anyone that would put them in danger.
“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!!!”
“This was our first time using Laura, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of our pets and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent pictures and updates throughout our trip and stayed with them the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”

For the past 8 years, I’ve also been caring for other families’ pets and I truly love what I do! -I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds including senior dogs who need special care or daily medication. I’m currently home full-time, so your pet will get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. -I live in a house with a yard (unfenced), so I provide supervised outdoor time and regular walks for plenty of exercise and play. Your pet will also spend time with my one friendly dog, Seyfina and cat, Zelda. Pets are welcome on the couch and bed unless you prefer otherwise—and I always keep fresh water available and tails wagging! - I only board one family at a time, so your dog(s) will get individualized attention. If your pup has any special needs, routines, or favorite toys! just let me know! I’m even happy to give them a bath while they’re here—just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin. - Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to welcome you and your pet into our pack.

My playful husky mix keeps active dogs entertained, while my laid-back cat prefers quiet naps. I make sure every pet gets the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest. For safety and comfort, I recommend pets be up to date on flea prevention.
“Martha took exceptional care of my two Portuguese Water Dogs when I had her house sit so I could attend an out-of-town wedding. She came over for an orientation before the stay to meet the dogs and review instructions, came to the house before I left to ease the dogs’ separation anxiety and sent texts and pictures during her stay. I returned home to happy dogs and a tidy home. Will definitely book again. Thank you Martha!”

“Izel is wonderful. I am new to the area and did not have a clue where I would find someone to watch both of my dogs . He was fast at accepting time and was very polite. We had a meet and greet before vacation and he and my dogs were a perfect match. I would use and recommend him over and over again. Thank you Izel for taking WONDERFUL care of my girls.”
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including multi-pet households where cats and dogs lived together successfully. I understand the different needs of each species and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions precisely. My focus is always on creating a calm, consistent environment so every pet feels safe and owners can leave with complete peace of mind. I work a remote Medicare sales job that gives me flexible hours and the ability to set my own schedule. This means I can easily plan pet care visits, drop ins, or overnight stays around my work without conflicts. I treat every pet with complete focus and responsibility. I follow all feeding and medication instructions exactly, keep litter areas clean and odor free, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and maintain a calm, consistent routine that prioritizes the animal’s safety and comfort at all times.
About: Ever since I was little animals have been part of my life. Until 2019 I decided to add two new babies into my own family. I have one dog and one cat they will be turn 7 this year. I’m very proud of what I’ve learned through the process of teaching my animal the basics as well as the advanced tricks. I usually take my dog out every 2-3 hours, walk him twice a week and feed him twice a day since his a growing boy. When your animal is in my care I’ll treat him or her the way I treat my furry babies. I can’t wait to meet your babies and helping you with walking, sitting or watching over them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Doctors Inlet
Morgan is amazing. She sent so many pictures and updates and I felt completely assured that my furbabies were in good hands. I’m a bit of a helicopter pup parent, so having someone that I’m comfortable with it super important. One of my dogs, Ellie, even had medication she normally doesn’t have and Morgan administered this flawlessly. I would absolutely recommend Morgan to anyone!
Ryan was wonderful for accepting my sitting request at the last minute. I missed the meet and greet due to a hair appointment that ran over, but he followed the directions I left perfectly. I was concerned when he asked to allow his girlfriend to come over at the last minute but when I saw her interaction with my big baby, I was relieved. Ryan was very polite and did a wonderful job of keeping my dogs separated as I requested. I would not hesitate to hire him again. The house was left spotless and the dogs eating bowls were cleaned. No complaints here at all. I am very very picky. The pricing for the sitting was a little high, but you get what you pay for sometimes and Ryan and his girlfriend did a good job to include bringing the mail in and watering my garden for me. I highly recommend.

The average cost of House Sitting in Doctors Inlet is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $94 per night.

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 Doctors Inlet 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 Doctors Inlet 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.
Tip: 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 Doctors Inlet 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
