“They did an amazing job with our 19 week old puppy. There were lots of other dogs for him to play with and a huge yard for all the pups to run around. We got so many pictures and videos that gave us full confidence how well he was being taken care of. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have hands-on experience dog sitting for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments, providing attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, maintaining routines, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. With my background in healthcare, I’m especially comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior or health and responding calmly and responsibly. I treat every dog as if they were my own—making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I do have a side job as a private in home caregiver for an average time of 30 minutes to an hour every morning, Monday through Friday. I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I have availability for boarding 7 days a week. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I stick closely to feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I create a calm, secure space where pets receive plenty of supervision, affection, and structured care. I’m experienced with administering medications if needed and always monitor for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owner is away.
“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”
“Lindsay is a true dog lover. We were lucky to find her after our regular sitter canceled. Lindsay accepted Ziva the day before we had to leave on a short vacation. She was wonderful, sent us photos daily and kept us informed of her mood and eating habits. She has a large safe fenced yard and welcoming home for pets to relax in. Her own pet dogs kept Ziva company and occupied. We can recommend Lindsay for your dog sitting needs.”
“Jeremiah was absolutely phenomenal! I left my 4 month old puppy and was so nervous but he didn't mind sending photos and updates. He took him on walks with his dogs and even went the extra mile to clean his bedding after he had accidents. He's gonna be my go to guy if I ever need to go out of town without my pup. 10/10 experience!”
“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”
“Chyna has been wonderful taking care of my dog! She is a 16 years old Shitzu. She takes medication and Chyna has gone far and beyond to make sure she follow all instructions. She sends lots of pictures and keep us update on her progress! I have peace of mind to know she is well taken care while I am away. I would lightly recommend her. ❤️”
“Patty is simply the best person to call when you need a place for your treasured family pet to stay over while you are in Jacksonville! She is extraordinarily kind and took our Teddy out for hour long walks and visits to the park. She sent daily pictures and I never worried once that he wasn’t having a great time with her! Teddy had the run of her house and he loved hanging out on her closed in porch that overlooked a nature preserve filled with interesting things for Teddy to see. I can’t recommend Patty enough… I am so glad we found her and will definitely call her when we come back next year! 5 out of 5 stars!”
“Amelia was absolutely incredible with our dog, Gus! She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We received regular updates, adorable pictures, and thoughtful messages that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Gus adored her and felt completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Amelia truly treated him like her own. We would hire her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and attentive caregiver for their pet.”
“Sophie was so well taken care of by Lexi and Kala! She came back happy, tuckered, and well-socialized! We’re thankful to have found such great care—and we are always thankful for the pictures, videos, and updates during the stay. :) Thank you Lexi!!”
“Delaney was great with Arii. She stayed in constant contact with me & sent plenty of pics. I have no doubt that she loved my furbaby as her own while I was away. I know I'll need a sitter in the future and will be booking with her if she's available!”
“Alysia was very responsive and helpful with my last minute request to board my Dane (Ash). She gave updates and sent pictures of how things were going during his stay and was very accommodating.”
“Taylor was the best - she sent a bunch of pictures and videos throughout our dog’s stay, and he very clearly had a great time. Communication was quick and clear, and the whole process was smooth as can be. We’ll be re-booking with Taylor going forward!”
“Andrea was absolutely incredible. We reached out to her very last minute and she was so fast to respond and welcomed our Tahoe for the whole week! She has a great space with lots of room to play and even has a friendly pup next door. She kept us updated every day with lots of pictures, videos and other fun things Tahoe was up to that day. Highly recommend Andrea!!!”
About: I grew up around big dogs and have always had a love for animals! Most recently, I cared for my 3-year-old Boxer, doing the majority of her training and daily walks. I also have around 5 years of pet-sitting experience for family, friends, and neighbors in my community. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and am cat-friendly, too! As a full-time law student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with your pup! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 3 PM, Thursdays before noon, and anytime Friday through Sunday. I’m also available for boarding on weekends, so your furry friend can enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I live in a pet-friendly apartment with easy access to plenty of walking paths and dog parks, making it a great environment for your pup to get exercise, fresh air, and playtime! My apartment also has a convenient dog-washing station, which I’m happy to use upon request so your furry friend can return home clean, fresh, and happy. I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! 🐾❤️
About: I am a positive and enthusiastic pet lover who has been dog sitting off and on since I was a teenager. I recently graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in political communication and have moved back home to Jacksonville. I currently work part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money. I have a 15-year-old Shih Tzu and a 12-year-old Boxer mix. I have been taking care of my Shih Tzu since I was a child and I adopted my senior Boxer mix in 2023. I am extremely responsible and have been trusted with several jobs, including dog sitting and walking. I have experience with wound care, medicine (including administering eye drops), and bathing both small and large dogs. I live just a 1/2 mile away from the beach which is perfect for walks and playtime. I look forward to loving and caring for your pups just as I care for mine! My work schedule varies and is not consistent but I typically work Tuesday and Friday nights, and sometimes on Sunday or Saturday nights. I’m typically free in the mornings and afternoons. I live in a condo complex with my parents and our two dogs, but they are friendly with other dogs. The surrounding area/neighborhood is beautiful and is just a 1/2 mile from the beach, perfect for walks and playtime.
“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Joshua went above and beyond while watching our French bulldog. He kept us updated throughout the stay and made sure everything was taken care of. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Josh!”

Renee is absolutely wonderful! She treated our two dogs as if they were her own! They settled down very easily into her home and routine with her personal dog. She kept us informed every day of how they were doing and sent pictures of them enjoying themselves. When we got home, they were happy to see us, but not stressed at all! I think they thought they were at summer camp! Thank you so much Renee for taking great care of them!!
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!
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!

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 .
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.

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.
