“Thomas was wonderful with our dog! He dropped in on her while we were out of town for 3 nights and couldn’t board her because she was getting over a respiratory infection. She had a few unexpected behaviours while we were away and also got an upset stomach one day and made quite a mess, but Thomas handled it all wonderfully. He communicated with us about everything that went on and what he did about it, and he sent us pics and videos throughout the trip so we could know she was being well cared for. We would absolutely trust him again with our dogs.”
“Ashleigh was great! She sent really good and detailed updates about our 3 cats. I loved seeing the photos she took during the visits. She took special care to make sure my shy kitty, Missy, didn’t miss out on food just because she is a little anxious with new people. The pictures she took of her under the bed were so funny 😆 when I got home, the cats were happy and healthy and didn’t seem stressed at all. They give her 5 stars too ❤️”
“Can't say enough good things, every day she's stopped in to check on my pup, he's had a great day playing fetch, running around, getting some of his energy out. His commands have gotten better, crate training better, and she's given me good tips and tricks that she's observed spending time with my pup. Also takes and sends great little videos and pictures of my pup playing or being crazy whenever she does a drop in.”
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”
About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
“Mackenzie did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! She was always on time and sent me adorable pictures with every visit. One of my cats is very shy and scrambles under the bed when visitors show up, but she grew to trust Mackenzie over a few days. Aside from her ability to take care of pets, she's also a wonderful human being. When my flights got messed up and I had to return a day later than I anticipated, she was very understanding and willing to check on the cats that morning. Highly recommend booking Mackenzie!”
About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
About: Animal lover with 10+ years’ experience. Former clinic caretaker, trusted by 5 families for pet and house sitting, including chickens! Proud dog mom of two. I work remotely, so I’m flexible for walks, feeding, and cuddles—happy to stay with your pets during the day while house sitting, just need wifi! I have a sweet Golden Irish (1.5 yrs) and gentle 12-year-old Husky. Both are friendly with a big fenced yard—perfect if yours needs a playmate!
“Ali came over to feed our indoor/outdoor cats in the mornings and change the water and litter for a week. We have a cat clan, and she gave us updates and photos letting us know who was there and anything else that we might want to know. She brought in some boxes that were delivered while we were gone and cleaned up a gift that one of the 1-y-o boys (likely) had brought into the house. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!!”
“Ariela took great care of our cats. She was reliable and communicated with us after every visit. We will definitely ask her first when we need care for our cats.”
“I am so grateful to have found a sitter like Jayce. She accepted my unusual request of watching my pet bunny and she was absolutely amazing with him. She is responsive and professional, and I feel very comfortable with her in our home. She has been great with our dog as well. I highly recommend Jayce if you are looking for someone to take good care of your pet(s).”
About: **I have base access.** I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have five dogs, ranging from 1 to 9 years old and from small to large breeds, and all five have successfully completed the Canine Good Citizen course. I also have a cat who is almost 10 years old, and my previous cat lived to be an amazing 24 years old. Caring for my pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, training, and, most importantly, giving each animal the love and individual attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and currently only work two days a week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and give them the time and attention they need while their owners are away. I provide pet care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I believe staying in their own home can make your time away much less stressful for them because their routines, food, toys, sleeping areas, and everything they’re used to are already in place. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, care, and affection. My goal is to make your time away as easy and comfortable as possible for both you and your pets.
“It's a Blessing to have someone we trust to take care of our Critters. Cailey is trustworthy with our home and Babies. We can tell by the pictures that our Critters are comfortable with her. Thank you Cailey!”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Growing up with a dog by my side taught me how to understand, care for, and connect with them in a way that feels completely natural. Being around dogs isn't just something I do—it's something I've known my whole life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, learning their unique personalities, and making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Every dog deserves care that feels like home, and that's exactly what I strive to provide. I currently work Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). I can take care of pets after 5pm and on the weekends. We can arrange timing if needed. Thank you! I have a very spacious loft downtown I can have them in. Also have space for kennels if needed. Lots of parks near by and sidewalks to walk them. I’m also willing to take care of them at the clients residents as well. Whatever is needed for the job at hand!
About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.

I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I’m looking to make extra money by hopefully walking your dog on weekends or after 5pm on weekdays. I enjoy dogs and being outside and can’t think of a better way to make some extra money than that! I have a black lab that can come on the walk with your pet or not, if you choose not that is fine. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take him/her to a park either is fine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Jacksonville on Rover is $12.84 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 488 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jacksonville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Jacksonville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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 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.
