About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life both big and small. I’ve also volunteered at the SAFE dog shelter for about 6 months. I absolutely love all animals but especially dogs! I work full time so I’m looking to walk/house sit on night and weekends. I could use my lunch break at work to tend to the dogs needs. I’m extremely fun and playful so I would just follow your wishes of how you wanted your dog to be taken care of. I also enjoy taking walks.
“Bianca was super responsive and sweet! She took great care of my 2 kitties and my elder baby :) Even handled an unexpected potty accident! OMG! Thank you!! The house was in perfect condition when we came back as well. Great experience”

“Melissa and Nick did a great job! Rebus had his walks, his snacks, his cuddles and belly rubs - and was happy! We received lots of updates on how things were going, which is great. Thanks so much!!”

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.
About: I've been taking care of animals my whole life from cats to goffin cockatoo!! I really love animals they are so unique and have such a personality! I'm a mom of four I work a part time job during school hours. Two out of my four children are in school, I have a very flexible schedule, I can pretty much accommodate any needs for your animals. My oldest child does school at home so she’s also available during the day when I am at work for potty breaks and companionship, etc.. I have a fenced in yard, my home nice and cozy. My oldest daughter loves to have any of our doggy guests sleep in her bed with her she loves to cuddle them!!
“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!!!”

“Sierra was great. This was our first time with her as dog/house sitter and she was amazing. Excellent communications, asked the right questions, and kept us posted of how things were going without overdoing it. Dogs and house looked great upon our return.”

“After 5 days away our furr babies were in great spirits and the house was left better than when she arrived. She kept us updated and sent pictures. We couldn't have asked for more.”

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.
“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life. My grandma down in Georgia works at a grooming shop with her friends that I help out with the moment i get a chance. I am also currently a volunteer at the Adoption First Animal Rescue animal shelter off of Western. I plan on entrepreneuring my own dog grooming salon in the future because I'm passionate about pets getting the care they need while being in a safe and comforting environment. I have loved and adored animals, especially dogs and cats, my entire life and I plan to do whatever I can to make any clients' pets happy and loved for the time I am with them. I am currently a high school senior and I get out at 12:42pm, so I would say I'm available after 1pm. I do work part time at Dario's but I am MORE than willing to prioritize working with your pets. I would just need to know at least two days beforehand. When I am taking care of a pet, I am very focused on them, especially if they require specific amount/kind of attention. I am also very good at analyzing animal behavior/body language to know if the animal is in any sort of distress or if they are upset. Every pet is different, and I trust that clients know their pets the best. I take careful consideration of what my client will tell me about their pet and I will utilize that information to the best of my ability.
“Sidnee is amazing! I have sincerely appreciated the attention and care that my two Frenchies require that Sidnee provided while I was traveling! I trust Sidnee in my home and with my dogs. She is officially my “go-to” sitter. Highly recommend her services!”

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.

About: I’ve had pets ever since I was 8. Everything ranging from lizards, bunnies, chinchillas, dogs, cats. All were well taken care of. I am pretty knowledgeable with pet behavior and animals like me so I’d say that’s a plus as well. I currently have a puppy, so I usually work with him daily to train him and make sure he has everything he needs. I also take care of 3 other pets along with him daily. I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs, and a cat that are friendly with other pets. I make sure all pet needs are met before leaving a client's house.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.

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.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,457 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.
