“Wendy was superb. This was my first time boarding my 4 month old teething golden and was exactly what I was hoping for. I was out of town for 4 days, she was very flexible with my flight delay, sent updates and pictures daily and my boy was excited to see me but sad to leave Wendy cause she took such good care of him. I’m hesitant to trust strangers with my pup but will absolutely be using Wendy again.”
“Moka had another great stay with Danielle! Besides being a great sitter, Danielle is a wonderful photographer and I received many photos and videos that showed me what a good time Moka was having. Danielle is a conscientious sitter for Moka, ensuring a regular meal schedule and maintaining Moka's two diabetes insulin injections daily. I am extremely happy with Danielle's conscientious care, which allows me to enjoy time away without worry.”
“Always a great experience when Emma watches Margie! She always sends pictures and keeps us updated on her stay! Margie always looks so happy and cared for! ❤️”
“Chief loved his time with Andrew and Kaitlyn. It's such a relief to know you are leaving your pet (in our case an older one) in good hands. We would love to have them watch Chief again.”
“Blanca is so friendly, kind, and trustworthy. She was so affectionate and caring to our little senior dog, Pepper. She even picked her up from us!! Her home is so nice and calming. We can't say enough amazing things about her!!!”
“JJ was fantastic! She is absolutely an animal lover and treated my dog like family when she stayed there for the weekend. I constantly got picture updates and she answered back super quick anytime I had a question. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Charlotte thoroughly enjoyed her stay; she played all day, and I was always in the loop, thanks to their super affectionate messages. Such an incredible family! We will definitely be back. I have no words to thank them!”
“She was amazing with our little boy! She gave him lots of love and exercise, and sent us many photos of him over the week. We will definitely be using her services going forward!!”
“Em was great! My dog is currently in her care for another stay while I’m away and i am totally at ease to know my dog is in the care of such a tentative person! Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“This was the first time I’ve used a Rover to care for my dog Oaklie. Brenda, the rover, was absolutely fantastic. She took fabulous care of Oaklie taking him on walks, playing with him and cuddling with him. He really enjoyed her fenced in yard as well. He also got along very nicely with her dog and her daughter. She kept me informed of how Oaklie was doing each day. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see how happy he was. Brenda was very trustworthy with him and took great care of him. I am definitely using her again.”
“Remy loved his stay here!!! He was with Nuttawadee for 15 days and she and her husband took the best care of him. I got so many pictures and he looked so happy to be there. Wonderful caring family and highly recommend them if you need a sitter.”
“Last minute get-away and Henry was able to stay for the second time with Hailey. So thankful for her pictures and that he is making sweet doggie friends while we are away.”
“I would highly recommend Kelly and Jim. They provided a caring and loving home. Kelly sent me updates, pictures and a video of my dog, Diesel, running and playing with another dog in their secure backyard. I was impressed that Kelly had a questionnaire she filled out during our meet and greet. I could tell she really wanted to get to know Diesel and his needs. Diesel was well cared for. We will definitely rebook with Kelly and Jim.”
“Excellent service. My wife and I were very pleased Chrissy kept us updated frequently which we needed and appreciated. We will definitely use her again”
“Lilly has stayed with Bridget three times now and comes home happy and tired! We get great photos of her with Bridget and her family and she always looks like she’s having fun. We’ve started referring to them as Lilly’s “other family”.”
“Theo had another terrific stay! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. The daily photos were greatly appreciated. He really seemed to enjoy his walks and your company. We’ll be back!”
“Joshua and Lesley exceeded our expectations. This is the first time we’ve tried pet sitting outside of a boarding. As a family with a very loving but energetic dog we were skeptical if someone would give our pet the care and patience he needs. Joshua and Lesley put our minds at ease since the first day we met them. They are passionately driven professionals and have gained our trust for future sitting. Quick response times, regular updates and lots of pictures. This is the team to get. Your dog will love them.”
“Rachel was awesome! Freyja had room to run and friends to run with, and I received photos updating me throughout her stay. She's my first choice when I have to go out of town for work.”
“I am very happy that we meet Viji via Rover. We used to use other pup carrier but he increased the price so we had to look for an alternative. Viji was very responsive and caring. We received daily video report about our pup. From the daily video report i can tell that Jax really enjoyed staying with them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville
Rachel is a loving and caring animal lover. I left my dog and my daughter's dog with her for a week. They were well taken care of and enjoyed all the love they got from Rachel and her adult children. Both of her children were also very good with the dogs. Rachel sent me pictures often and kept me informed on how they were doing. The dogs looked like they were having a great time. I also loved that she took them for a walk at least 3 times a day and had a fenced yard. They got along well with Rachel's dogs. I will definitely use Rachel again. She took such wonderful care of our dogs.
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.
We can't say enough good things about Brent and David. This was the first time our two, 8 1/2 year old Boxers have been away from us for 8 days. We had left them a day or two with our daughter in the past and through that experience, we discovered they don't eat for a day or two over separation anxiety and basically mope. Not the case here! These pups didn't miss a beat! Healthy appetite every day, plenty of exercise with walks and outdoor playtime, sofa lounging, treats, love, pets, full - hands-on attention and just happy. Our guilt and worry disappeared pretty rapidly after seeing the daily photos and video we received. We could not have dreamed or asked for better care of our fur babies. We can now take trips without concern and will always use Brent and David! Our dogs were loved. Highly recommend, A+, Five Star #happyfurbabies #BrentandDavid #Rover
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 for Dog Boarding in Jacksonville on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,064 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Jacksonville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Jacksonville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jacksonville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 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 .
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.
