About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats when my mom had a pet sitting business. I love taking care of dogs. I’m a very compassionate and caring person and owner. I’ll walk, feed, and play with your dogs to give them the best care! I’m currently in grad school so I have to work around that. I’m also working part-time. I have more flexibility on weekends and most mornings. I’m available most days of the week except for Thursday evenings. I’d love to care for your pets in your home where the pet would feel more comfortable and safe. Either by walking them or drop in to care for them.
About: As a lifelong pet owner and caretaker of animals, I love the opportunity to meet new furry friends! I have worked with my family to train all of our dogs and cats while having them be a part of the family! I’m currently working full time but spend plenty of time with my fur baby to make sure she’s taken care of and happy. I ensure that your fur baby is treated like my own and every animal I come into contact with is taken care of to the highest degree!
“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. It was nice to come home and not have to clean up after the cats because Lindsay was so diligent about doing everything I requested on her visits.”
“Cheryl was great with my chocolate lab. She was very communicative with anything that came up. And even stayed little longer when she noticed Bailey was very anxious and seemed unwell. Thanks Cheryl for taking care of Bailey. Bailey had a great time with her too!”
“Cecelia was an absolute fantastic, she took very good care of my fur baby, she kept me updated with pictures and when my dog sitter canceled she responded last minute. She’s a complete lifesaver!!”
About: Hi there! I have been a professional pet sitter since 2015 and have grown up with animals of all kinds since I was a young kid. I graduated from UNF with my Bachelors of Science in Coastal Enviornmental Science and love all types of animals. I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. Currently, I offer housesitting in Fernandina Beach, Yulee, and Jacksonville. I will also travel to other locations if needed. I am only offering dog sitting at my home in Jacksonville, in the Murray Hill neighborhood. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds, big or small I love them all. I have vast experience with disabled and older dogs, including administering medication. Animals are a passion of mine and I find great joy in taking care of dogs. I send picture updates daily so you can have peace of mind that your dog is being well taken care of. I would love to watch over your four-legged family! I am home most of the day (I work part-time remotely) so your dogs will have frequent potty breaks, sweet talk, cuddles, and playtime in and outside. I will always spoil your babies just like my very own. I have a fully fenced in yard and always supervise any time spent outside. I always keep an eye on where the pets are at and make sure everyone is getting along. I give special attention during feeding time to ensure no aggression is displayed.
“Hunter was such a communicative and trustworthy pet sitter! I was kept in the loop each day. She was thorough and wonderful. Didn’t have to worry one bit because I knew my cat was in good hands. Thanks again Hunter! We will be rebooking soon! :)”

Alyssa you are AMAZING as always! I couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! She is reliable, caring, and my dogs with patience and kindness.

Truly a gem—I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 141 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Folkston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Folkston. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
