“Chief loved his time with Andrew and Kaitlyn. It's such a relief to know you are leaving your pet (in our case an older one) in good hands. We would love to have them watch Chief again.”
“I must say this was the first time using a boarding service that was not the ordinary pet boarding organization. So I was a little hesitant using a service through an app no less. I found Shannon and she turned out to be an absolute gem. She's very accommodating, communicates, send pics, and you can see the passion she has for taking care of your pet. Overall, just puts you at ease during the process which is important to me since I travel. Needless to say, would probably not be going back to the old boarding services.”
“Gissell and her family were the best. She sent regular updates throughout the day. She and her family loved on my fur babies and made them feel right at home. Definitely rebooked before current visit was done.❤️”
“We could not be more thrilled with how well our sweet Stella was cared for and loved! We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away, which made being away from our girl easier. We are so very thankful to have found Katie to love our precious pup while we were away! <3”

About: Recently moved here from our family farm in central Minnesota, I have experience in working with a multitude of animals. Any animal from dogs to cattle, poultry to pigs and cats to horses! I have experience in dog sitting for neighbors, friends and family with or without being paid. I have a walker hound back home on the farm who loves to run around the farm and lives to hunt so changing his environment from the farm to an apartment didn’t seem fair to do. I miss him dearly, and have such a love for dogs, I would take them all home if I could! I also have experience working on a pig farm as a farrowing technician (assisting in birthing) and all the daily cares and medications from the time they’re born until they are weaned to another farm - also medication administration for sick pigs, including injectables. I have experience and training done on caring for elderly horses. I have experience milking cows and caring for young calves. I have fostered and cared horses until they were able to find homes, which is always tough having to say goodbye and trust they are going to a good home. Out of all the animals in the world, my heart will always love dogs the most. I do enjoy having cats around, unfortunately I am allergic so I can’t have any of my own. But I love dogs with all my heart, I think it’s safe to say I love them more than people! I may be new to the state of Florida, but I have a lot of time and dedication to offer as I am a “stay at home wife” to a husband in the Navy. We will be in the area for the next 5 years, and I would love to meet some people and help with their pets in anyway I can! Even if it’s just a drop in visit so they don’t feels so alone for such a long stretch of the day. I am ready, able and willing to love and care for your dog just as you do! I have TWO letters of recommendation I can share from my previous employers as well. I am a wife to a husband is in the Navy, so anytime he’s gone, I would really love the company!! Currently looking for a part-time job here so I can easily accommodate to pet owners who need boarding services! I live in a secure apartment complex that has a gated parking lot and sidewalks, and a fenced in dog park. It’s very peaceful and quiet here but there’s other dogs to play with as well! I also spend a lot of time walking the beach on the Mayport Naval base and would be more than happy to get your dogs steps in somewhere besides the hot concrete! I don’t have any children yet, and my dog is back home on the farm in Minnesota - not pets here. Just my husband and I!
“The moment Zoie and I met Marlena I knew I made the right decision for my pup. Marlena is an animal lover, very sweet and kind. We will definitely re-book with Marlena 🩷”
“Katie K was absolutely INCREDIBLE! From drop off to pick up, I felt so comfortable leaving my puppy in their care. I got pictures & videos showing my girl having a great time. If was such a relief knowing my dog was in such good care, THAT is so important! I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re on the fence, Katie K is an EXCELLENT choice, you won’t be disappointed! I will be bringing Emme back!”
“I couldn’t have picked a better sitter for my fur baby sea. While I was away I got updated photos of my baby and she was absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything she did. Thank you and I would recommend her and her family to anyone that is in need of a sitter for their furbaby”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fernandina Beach
Laura kept our dog Sunny for a weekend while we were visiting the island, and she was fantastic with her! She sent us photos and updates every single day, so it was easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing Sunny was having the best time too! I would highly recommend Laura!
Renee and her pup, Dash, were wonderful. Renee was very compassionate and conscientious with our dog, and we knew she was in goods hands. Renee gave us daily updates, with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind during ten days of boarding. We would be thrilled to have our pup stay with Renee again.
I had a last-minute conference in Fernandina Beach and finding Brittany was an absolute lifesaver. She was incredibly accommodating and made everything so easy on short notice. Elsa had the best time running around the yard and absolutely loved playing with Brittany’s sweet Lab, Miko. I felt completely at ease knowing Elsa was so happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Brittany again and highly recommend her!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Graceann and her mom took incredible care of our golden retriever while we were in Amelia Island for our wedding, and her mom even brought him to the venue so he could be part of our day. Dallas had so much fun, and we can’t wait to book with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Fernandina Beach on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 726 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fernandina Beach. About 93% of Fernandina Beach sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
