“Rachelle is amazing. Our furry girl was well loved and taken care of while we were out of town. We received pictures and updates while we were gone and a happy, non stressed pooch when we came home ❤️ couldn’t be happier.”
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“My experience was amazing from start to finish. They were very transparent, communicative, attentive, and stayed on top of everything while caring for my dog. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about the animals they work with. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the near future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a transparent, reliable, and trustworthy sitter.”
“I needed a person who was going to welcome my fur baby into their home and treat them as it was their own pet. Daisy went above and beyond the call of duty with Gizmo. Daisy is from now on the person I will contact to care for my dog.”
“Kristall was wonderful. She was quick to respond when setting up the stay. She also kept me informed with pictures while we were gone. Our dog seemed super happy. We would 100% book with Kristall again.”
“I’m so happy I found this wonderful family to watch my Frenchie. They always keep me up to date during my Frenchie’s stays with them, it is super clear they love dogs and most importantly, they are simply good people.”
“Yet again another amazing experience!! Yekaterina is absolutely amazing!! We received so many pictures and videos each and everyday to check on our puppy!! We truly love our puppy staying with her:) until next time! Thank you!”
“We had such a great experience! She was amazing with both of my dogs, and I really appreciated all of the photo updates throughout their stay. I could tell my dogs had an absolute ball and were very well taken care of, especially for such an extended stay. This was my dogs’ first Rover experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. She even offered a meet and greet beforehand, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving them in her care. Her dog, Shadow, is also the sweetest and was great with my dogs. I’m a firm believer that a dog is a reflection of its owner, and Shadow says a lot about how caring and wonderful she is with animals. The entire experience was great from beginning to end. I would absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pets! ❤️🐾”
“I was so relieved to find Beverly. She was able to take my baby in last minute and was so accommodating and flexible with me. She sent updates frequently and is super responsive. She cared and loved for Smokey just like I do. I will DEF be a return customer”
“Ceteria was amazing! She helped me out with a -very- last minute booking and was so sweet. I got pictures of my pup every day and I know she was happy during her entire stay. I'll definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my personal dogs as well as family dogs for years. I love to play with them and just sit and cuddle with them as well. I am currently a graduate student at Jacksonville University. I am available after 2pm everyday, and on the weekends I can do all day! I am also usually up pretty late at nights so can do late night walks/sitting as well. I am a very trustworthy person. On walks I will make sure they don’t get into anything that may be harmful and always be prepared when in contact with other people/animals.
“Brenda was wonderful with my senior dog who needs a bit of extra care. My little one was comfortable and safe with her - and seemed very happy as well. My dog stayed at Brenda’s home. Brenda sent photos and text updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Brenda as a dog sitter!”
“Our 2 adult pups were well cared for by Adriana while we were away. She kept us updated to their daily activities with both photos and videos. Our lab mix really enjoyed escaping the July heat with dips in the pool. We would definitely consider booking with Adriana again in the future!”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were wonderful. They sent us pics of Abby every day while we were on vacation. We could tell Abby was loved and enjoyed her time with them. She also got to make friends with their dog Pancake who kept Abby company while we were away. Recommend 100%”
“Layla had the BEST time hanging with Lily, going to the beach, on walks, to the dog park, etc. I was able to enjoy my family vacation knowing my dog was being pampered and living her best life. Lily was super communicative and considerate— THANK YOU!”

We were very happy with our booking. Larickya let me come to her home and see where they would be staying while they were there, she provided daily updates, pictures and always answered quickly when I sent a message checking on them. She kept them seperate from other dogs in the home and I was very impressed with how well it went.
Hannah and Zac were so kind, adaptable and accommodating to my dog, Dax. He didn’t want to leave their place — Dare I say, he became best pals with their dog, Rosie!😄 I received multiple photos during the day and that kind of attentiveness gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend them! Thank you!!
Fantastic! Victoria was so wonderful to work with and treated our Juniper like her own. Our rental did not allow pets so we were able to drop our dog off for overnights and she fed her for us each night and morning, while we got to take her with us for the fun day stuff! 100% would recommend Victoria!
Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jacksonville is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $55 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 1,062 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.
96% 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.
Tip: 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 FL 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.
