“They were so patient with Chase. I had never gone out of town before where I didn’t take Chase. This was our first experience. He didn’t take it well but Renee continued to send updates and Chase got used to being with them. I would of course book with her again!”
“Huge thanks to Loria! I was a first-time Rover user and she made the whole reservation comfortable and easy with daily updates! She was also very cognizant of my dog’s needs, nursing a healing injury. Thanks so much! I would (will) gladly book again!”


About: I have had many pets in my life, dog's, cats, mice, rabbit, hampster, fish, chicken's, tortoise... I have carred for puppies, kittens, senior's (10yrs and up) and dogs with disabilities such as blindness and difficulties with walking in older age. I am willing to learn what your pets needs are and will do my best to meet all their needs whatever those may be, specific feeding schedule, medications... I am comfortable with dogs who wear diapers if needed I've done overnight pet sitting for a week or two at a time, and used to work at a horse stable in highschool. I work in the evenings Monday - Friday from 2:30pm to 11:00pm. I let the dogs out to pee as needed during the day. I work 5 minutes away so if necessary can go let the pets out to pee partway into that time. I'm usually home the whole morning and get back from work between 11pm and 12am. I go to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day for at least and hour. I can do walks as well or in place of the park. I have an empty spare room for your pet to have their own space for eating and relaxing but they are more than welcome to be out in the main house with my dog if they prefer the company. They can sleep with me and my dog in the bedroom or sleep in the spare room/ crated (I have 2 spare crates for both small and small/medium dogs). I have a dog and a cat. My dog loves a good pal to play with and my cat will mostly keep to herself and usually goes unnoticed. Both my pets have open access to food and water at all times. But if your pet needs a strict feeding schedule there food can be placed out of reach. To ensure no food related scuffñes your baby will be fed separately in the spare room for maximum comfort and safety. I make frequent trips to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day. I can do walks as well or in place of the dog park. I have a fully fenced backyard to play and potty in, I let the dogs out multiple times during the day and about twice before bed. I usually give the dogs some sort of longish lasting chew before I go to work to provide some stimulation during the beginning hours of my shift such as a pig ear or hide.
“Very thankful for Tammy; our regular sitter was out for the weekend and we already made plans. Tammy stepped up on short notice and gave us great peace of mind. We have found our ‘new’ regular sitter!! Thanks, Tammy!!”


“She was great. This was Mickie's first stay with someone outside my family. I was a little nervous, but I soon relaxed. Mickie seemed to enjoy his stay and she kept me up to date with how he was doing. I'd definitely book her again.”

“Have found my reliable Rover home for Harley! William and Natalie communicate effectively and consistently, they provide ample opportunity to feel like your pet is going to a safe home and they ask questions to make sure they get it right. They have a big backyard which any dog would love but walks and hikes are still included nonetheless! Every time I pick up Harley from their house I feel like he had an opportunity to practice some social skills with their dog, and that makes me feel good about my own dog’s growth. They really make an effort to help Harley feel comfortable in their home; their love for pets is pretty evident.”

“The best dog sitters and people for the job. They took such good care of my sweet Oliver and gave me updates. I appreciate it beyond words. The best of the best!!! Literally!”

About: I’ve had had the privilege of caring for many creatures across my life (dogs, cats, praying mantises, spiders…) and would love to help you care for yours! I have two wonderful dogs: Ozzie and Lily. They keep me on a strict schedule for activity time (walks, playing, etc) and feeding. Trust me, they’ve trained me well! I also grew up with two cocker spaniels, Droopy and Floppy, and a German shepherd-beagle mix, Scooby. Every dog has so much character and it’s an absolute joy to learn their unique personalities! My work schedule tends to vary weekly and I can start as early as 9am and leave as late as 9pm, but I am generally available everyday to play with your critters! We can discuss times before booking. I am also a college student with class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I care for pets based on their individual needs with insight from their owners. For example, I can trust my dog Lily to behave herself home alone, but with Ozzie, I know I have to provide him a spacious kennel to prevent him from getting anxious and chewing up the carpet. Regardless, I provide them lots of love, playtime, and outside time whether it be a walk or a potty trip. I have a fenced backyard personally and my dogs (and even my cat with supervision) love to spend time out there.
“Jill has found a second home! We love Miss Rhonda. My husband took Jill to Rhonda's for a pre-stay visit. When it was time, it was a simple drop off and pick up. Her fur babies are so sweet. Rhonda sent several pictures of Jill making herself right at home. We highly recommend Rhonda! We will be back!!! We will send family members to Rover.com and Rhonda!!!”

“Jacquelyn was AMAZING ! She was very commutative and always kept me updated. She made me feel so comfortable with leaving Dubai with her, definitely always booking with her !”

“Was wonderful! Gave daily updates with pictures and video, Tilly left grinning ear to ear. Was super kind about us dropping her off a little late, and super understanding about Tilly being a little excited. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”


“Mandy was great with Luna! We go updates every day more than once a day and we could tell she was being well taken care off! Will definitely reach out to Mandy again when we need a dog sitter!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and I know just how much our pets mean to us. They’re not just animals, they’re family! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your fur babies while you’re away. I’m a loving, patient, and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals of all personalities, sizes, and ages. Whether your pet loves playing, going on walks, getting belly rubs, or just cuddling up and relaxing, I’m happy to give them the love and attention they deserve! I love spending time with animals, so making time for your fur babies is something I genuinely enjoy! I do work during the week, but I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I want to make sure your babies get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness will always be my top priorities! I understand that trusting someone else with your fur baby is a big deal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, respect their boundaries, and make sure they’re comfortable in their environment. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I’ll treat them like one of my own! I’m also more than happy to send pictures and updates for your peace of mind. ❤️
“Tonisha did a Wonderful job keeping my pups. I was nervous leaving them with a stranger because they are only 7.5 mos but they felt comfortable and loved. She took them for walks and to the park daily to socialize them with other dogs. She also gave them a bathe before they returned home. She sent me pics and videos daily. I highly recommend her services. I will Always request to book her when I need to go out of town!”

“Great care of my dog! Always responsive and updates regularly. Took care of an unexpected incident with such great care and attention. I trust Madi every time!”


About: I have had and taken care of many dogs and cats since I was a child. I believe dogs and cats are all unique and fun in there own way. I have trained them in basic commands, walked them, and spent many hours playing games like fetch and keep away. Im currently working part time from home so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furry ones. Weekends and holidays are always also open. I have a fully fenced backyard for your pets during play time. I also enjoy providing neighborhood walks for them in the mornings and evenings.
“Taylor B. did well with our fur baby! She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates. It was our first time being away overnight from our pup and knowing that he had one on one care made us feel better! I highly recommend Taylor B.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville
Barbara did a great job taking care of my fur baby. She very kindly accommodated for me when I mixed up the drop off date ( I dropped my dog off a day later then I booked for), and allowed me to pick her up at 11:20 p.m. which was much appreciated. I picked my pup up in perfect health, and she had all of her belongings packed up and ready to go. It’s very difficult for me to leave my dog with other people, but I’m so pleased to have had a wonderful experience thanks to Barbara. If you’re hesitant or nervous to leave your dog with a “stranger” I’d recommend considering Barbara as she took great care of my dog and seems to be very responsible, and reliable.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jacksonville is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $46 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Jacksonville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jacksonville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Jacksonville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Jacksonville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
