“Grace has cared for our dogs and house sat for us numerous times while we’ve been out of town. She has even taken on some last minute dog sitting with us when we’ve needed her help. She is communicative, kind, and considerate of our space. We would recommend her!”
“We love Nicholas & Melissa! They take such good care of both our dogs and our kitty, they have quickly become our go to sitters. Their thoughtfulness, love and care for our babies is priceless. I would highly recommend everyone to book them. They are truly gems and such good people, your babies will always be surrounded with love ❤️”
“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!”
“Bianca is a true gem! We all love her, ( my 3 dachshunds )especially Guinness who wanted all her attention. Bianca is the most compassionate level headed dog sitter. She was outstanding with my 16 year old Marjie. And handled baby Bella who needs time to warm up. She’s A natural pro. No worries with Bianca taking care of your babies.”
“Magdalena was a blessing at the last minute for house sitting with our 2 year old GSD. He absolutely loved her and was sure to keep us posted during the weekend of what he was doing. Thank you so much for taking care of our boy!!!”
“Morgan was great with our two senior dogs. She was very attentive and had no trouble giving meds (including eye drops). She sent lots of photos and updates. It’s really hard when you move to a new place to find someone to care for your pets and we are thankful to have found her!”
“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.”
“Darci is a great sitter. I used her for house sitting for three days. My dog was not even excited to see me when I returned. She is a great communicator. I will definitely be using her often.”
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.
“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: Was born into a household with a cocker spaniel. During my school years, we adopted a Beagle mix, which I was given the opportunity to name her Princess. And now I’m back to having a cocker spaniel. I currently work from home which is a blessing to be able to be flexible with my schedule. My kids are away at college so I have extra time in my hands. I am available weekdays and weekends. At home we have a cocker spaniel who is quite affectionate and a lot of time is spent with him cuddled up on the sofa together. Our home is fenced so we let him out a few times during the day. The care for your pets would be on what’s best for your dog and any instructions provided.
“Sierra did an amazing job of caring for my dog, cats and home for 10 days. She followed care instructions, provided daily updates and pictures. Sierra was also considerate and made sure to ask questions when in doubt, which shows she cares to do a great job. I would recommend Sierra for all your pet and home sitting needs.”
About: I have personal experience with my own animals since a very young age. I will care for them as my own and make them feel loved as if they were my own I work a full-time job and a job at night. I have time on the weekends to walk and pet sit. It goes based each week individually because my schedule changes. I will follow all of your rules and request up for your animal to ensure their safety and that they have the best time while in my care
“Jerri did a wonderful job with our baby. She sent pictures and videos daily and kept us up to date. The house was left clean with nothing disturbed. We have already booked her again!”
About: Both my and my husband are avid dog lovers! We have two of our own dogs, Rosie and Ellie. I am a registered nurse and pride myself on caring for others, regardless of if they have 2 feet or 4. I can house/pet sit for you or drop in for walks/feedings. During the time I spend caring for your fur babies, I will send frequent updates and pictures so you can enjoy your vacation without worrying about your fur babies. I am flexible to administer any medications they may need, any special diet scheduling, and special walking/exercise programs. If you have questions just send me a message, or if you would like to see if I am available just send me a message and I promise to get back to you as soon as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work 3 days a week so I have tons of availability to spend time with your fur babies. Just reach out with a date to see if I am available. When coming into your home to care for your pets, I will be respectful of your space and only access areas that you have instructed me to. As a RN with over a decade of experience, I know trust is a very important component when choosing someone to look after your loved ones.
About: I love animals, Very familiar with cleaning animal messes. I work 8-5, I have no professional experience, But I have pets of my own. I work an 8-6, mon-fri and am available select saturdays and wednesdays. Just ask and I can let you know if i am available. I will respect your home and clean any mess your pet should make. My home is not available but I thank you for trusting me with your pet.
About: I have had a love and passion for all animals all my life, some may even call me and animal empath. I have experience personally with my own animals since a young age and have been entrusted with friends as well as neighbors to care for their babies. I currently have 2 French Bulldogs, 1 Cane Corso, and a Pocket Bully. I am familiar and comfortable with all breeds. If you want someone to care for your baby not just what they physically need but emotionally need while your away I am the girl for you to care for these little souls 😊. You can trust me to make sure they get the love and attention they deserve ❤️ I currently work fulltime remote but have flexibility in my day to come and go as needed. The only days I am not available during the day are Tuesdays but am available in the evenings. I have a designated bedroom in my home for boarders and a fenced in yard if boarding. Nothing better than a fur baby feeling at home in a home with unlimited outside time and love. If I am watching your fur baby in your home I can guarantee all instructions will be followed and security strongly enforced to make sure your baby and home are respected (of course with some extra cuddles as well) 😊
“Alison is very prompt and reliable. She updated us with pictures of our pet. She does a remarkable job! Will definitely use her many times more. Give her a shot. You won’t be disappointed.”

Sierra did an amazing job of caring for my dog, cats and home for 10 days. She followed care instructions, provided daily updates and pictures. Sierra was also considerate and made sure to ask questions when in doubt, which shows she cares to do a great job. I would recommend Sierra for all your pet and home sitting needs.
I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone needing a pet sitter and love of animals. Morgan was meticulous with following directions and cared for my pets and respected my home. She sent me pictures and updates daily and asked better questions about my pet routine than any other sitter we have ever had. I have had private sitters before, but honestly with what Rover does with screening people and how they rate their sitters, I was able to review many people before I chose Morgan, and she was the right fit for my animals and me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Green Cove Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Green Cove Springs on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,458 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Green Cove Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Green Cove Springs 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 Green Cove Springs 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 Green Cove Springs 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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
