“What an amazing experience and person. Great communication and tons of pictures. Shasta was not only well cared for, she was super chill when we came home. No anxiety or stress, just happy. Have already booked 2 additional trips and many more to come. Thank you!!”
“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!😊”
“Morgan recently held down our pet-centered "fort" for four days. Before our departure date, Morgan came by (arriving on time!) for a tour and run-through of our pets' behaviors, meal times, and idiosyncrasies. She took copious notes, asked a lot of questions and was clearly comfortable with the crew. We left feeling very comfortable that our kids were in great hands. Morgan did not disappoint! She was magnificent! She kept us informed of what our two cats and Rhodesian Ridgeback were up to, how meal times were going, etc. She frequently sent photos, which enhanced our sense that all were having no problem with a new person in the house. Without question, we will schedule Morgan for future pet sitting !! A 5-star caretaker!!!”

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: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.
“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: I have taken care of dogs, cats and I have had guinea pigs in my past as well. I have handled pets with all sorts of personalities and enjoy finding what they need to feel comfortable while you are away. Whether it is walking them daily or giving them medicine and even taking them to the vet if needed. I have done it all. I do currently work part time for a local pool. However, my schedule is really flexible and can be made to fit whatever is needed to make the pets feel comfortable. I have 3 small dogs at home which is why I can't have pets at my home as well as a family with a busy schedule. I have done everything from give medicine, follow strict diet and food instructions. I have also have had to take a golden retriever to the vet after his stitches came out while I was watching him due to him messing with the wound.
“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: 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.
“Mary was great! She accepted to look after our puppy with such short notice. I think Chai really enjoyed her company and we will definitely rebook!”
About: My love for animals began at a very early age. I grew up with a Poodle, Doberman, Boxer, Rottweiler, a couple cats, turtles and fish. I helped my grandfather care for his aviary with over 300 birds from canaries to chickens. I started riding horses at the age of 6 and learned about horse care. When I was 13 I fostered my first new born kitten. Over the years my husband and I have had 3 dogs and a cat together. I enjoy helping my friends and neighbors with their pets (young to senior) whenever they need. I feel I have a special calm nature that makes it easy for me to connect with animals. I also LOVE going on walks. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 2 (ages 9&11) and have lots of time to take care of your pets. I love to go on walks. My availability is very open. I love playing with both cats and dogs making sure they get the stimulation they need. When at a clients home I am respectful of their property and make sure to follow all instructions to a tee. If I have any questions or concerns I contact the client right away to address them. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 2 (ages 9&11) and have lots of time to take care of your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Green Cove Springs
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Green Cove Springs on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 1,472 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
