“FIG is recovering from being neutered and still has his hormones for a few weeks. He is still very active. Hopefully he will be a calmer little guy after the Christmas break! Thank you for being patient with him!😊”
“We are fortunate to have found Morgan. I was away for 5 days visiting my husband out of state and felt at ease that Morgan was keeping my girls happy and safe. Thank you for all you do for families!”
“Darci did an amazing job! We had total peace of mind while we were gone. She commicatef well and respected our dogs and our home! Certainly our favorite house sitter!”
“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.”
“Terri was an absolute sweetheart with my dog Kip, I don’t think it’s possible to have found a better sitter than her considering how difficult the job was. Seriously all the other sitters that I talked to on this app were not capable of caring for her or outright did not want to but Terri was all about it and got the job done with no issues at all, I would highly recommend for any of your animal needs”
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.
“Super awesome service provided for such an extended watch and worked with our scheduling changes. House was immaculate upon return and our dogs absolutely loved them! Not a single complaint at all and we felt at peace being out of town knowing they were being taken care of properly. Thank you again, and will continue to use your service as long as possible.”
“Ryan was able to accommodate us last minute for two separate days that we had to be out of town for the whole day. He is responsive and will update you when he arrives and leaves.”
About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my routine, and I’m always close by to make sure they feel safe and cared for. Working from home allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and keep your pet’s day as happy and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets get the same love and care as if they were my own. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I always keep a close eye on them and give them lots of love, care, and companionship.
“Kaitlyn stayed at our home with our two dogs for a long weekend and we were very pleased. At the meet and greet she asked good questions and sent messages while we were away. We returned home to a clean place and happy dogs. Will use her again.”
“Jeri did a wonderful job with our two puppers. We were at ease knowing she was taking great care of them. We especially appreciated all of the updates, pictures and videos. We highly recommend Jeri and look forward to working with her again!”
“Sidnee was more than a dog sitter for us! We had a few house issues arise while we were away and Sidnee helped us take care of the issues while we were out of town. She stayed at our house for 4 nights watching our two active dogs! She took great care of them and left the house just as clean. We appreciate Sidnee so much!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young, from dogs to cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small animals. I love animals and enjoy bonding with each of my clients pets. I have been pet sitting officially for 6 years now, and have returning clients year after year. I interned at a vet clinic and studied veterinary medicine for two years, so I am well versed in understanding animal behavior/needs. I volunteer at my local animal shelter so I am well experienced handling animals of different temperaments and personalities. I love all animals, so I am more than happy to provide pet sitting for pets outside of just cats and dogs. Like me, I am sure pets are your family. I want you to feel comfortable leaving your babies in my care, if you would like to meet me before scheduling anything, reach out and we can schedule something! I look forward to answering any questions you may have. I am a college student, graduating at the end of this year, but my schedule revolves around pet sitting. I stay at your house with your pets unless I have to leave for a small period of time. I have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I will have to leave the house for 3-4 hours on those days, but other than that I stay at your house all day and all night. I pet sit at your home, so I will follow the rules you have in place for taking care of your babies. I like to keep the same routine you have for your pets. My one request is that if you do not have a fenced in backyard, that you please leave a leash for the dog/dogs.
About: As a dedicated pet lover with years of experience, I specialize in personalized care tailored to your pet's needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing gentle care for seniors, or simply offering companionship, I go the extra mile to ensure your furry friend feels loved and cherished. I am currently working full-time. Therefore, I am only available during the evenings M-F. Sat-Sun are open availability when at least 2-3 days are scheduled in advance. For client's homes, I maintain a routine consistent with the pet's needs, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any specialized care required. I prioritize their comfort and well-being at all times.
“If you’re looking for someone you can trust 100% and not worry if your little boy or girl is being taking care of then book Stacey. She is wonderful and keeps you informed the whole time. Once you book her once you will never want to look again. I will be filling up her schedule!”
“Kylie was a great sitter for our home & fur babies. She sent photos of them daily and answered promptly. We were looking for a permanent sitter for when we vacation and we found her!”
About: I go beyond just watching pets. I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have hands-on experience fostering animals from local shelters, which has taught me how to be patient and adapt to different personalities and needs. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always send photo updates so you know they’re in good hands. I have 4 cats please know that they are ALWAYS separated no matter what animal comes over, they have their own room and no animals will meet. I’m home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention, so pets aren’t left alone for long and can stick to their normal routine as much as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention based on each pet’s needs. At my home, I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Looked after our 4 cats, including one who was recovering from surgery, so perfectly! Kailey is an amazing sitter who will care for all your pets like they're her own. Even the skiddish one came out to say hello almost immediately!”
“From the moment Jenna walked in my door I knew she would take great care of my Leo. She communicated with me the whole stay overnight to assure me my baby was ok and sent pics to prove it. I can’t recommend Jenna enough and would give 10 star if available.”

Another amazing house sitting service by Julia. She truly knows how to put my mind at ease while traveling. Knowing she will be here to care for our fur babies, take them on plenty of walks, give endless cuddles and keep the house clean for when we return. She’s the BEST!
Shelby is so professional, friendly, & communicative! Leaving our pets in such caring hands while we were gone allowed us to enjoy our mini vacay! Extras: the house was left clean, the animals were happy upon our return, medications were administered / recorded appropriately, and meeting Shelby at the meet n greet was so enjoyable!

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 Fleming Island 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 Fleming Island 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 Fleming Island 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.
