“Randy always has the best time hanging out with his buddy Pepper and the whole family! The daily updates bring me so much comfort, especially when you have a dog with health issues. Thank you for always taking such wonderful care of my baby”
“Marley was great with my dog! She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking, which I really appreciated. My dog can be a bit aggressive and requires some extra patience, but she handled everything well. I also appreciated her consistent photo updates, which gave me peace of mind. Communication was good, and I felt reassured knowing my dog was being cared for. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Bingo had a great time with Rochelle. I was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know but she was great with him and he adjusted quickly and seemed happy and content. She sent daily pictures and videos!”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“Brenda was absolutely fantastic! I felt completely at ease leaving Jazmine in her care. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Jazmine was happy and well cared for, and I really appreciated the updates while I was away. I would love for Brenda to watch Jazmine again in the future. I highly recommend her!”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
“Laura was so wonderful to Teagan that when I pulled in to pick her up she almost wanted to go back inside and stay😂 in all seriousness, Teagan looked like she had a great time and I will absolutely try to book with Laura next time we head out of town!”
“Beyond amazing pet sitter. Truly exceptional! Tannia treats pets as if they are her own family, with genuine love, patience, and attention. I normally worry a little when leaving my fur baby with someone new, but not once this time around. From the moment he arrived, I felt complete peace of mind. Tannia and her spouse are absolutely A+. Every single day, I received thoughtful updates, photos, and a full report on how he was doing, which made the experience even better. Their home felt safe, welcoming, and full of care. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter; dependable, compassionate, and truly invested in your pet’s well‑being. Highly recommended.”
“Kristall was great with my 2 dogs! I would not hesitate to leave them with her again! Even my mama’s boy that gets separation anxiety when I leave him had a great time.”
“Kira did a great job keeping our 9 month old Goldendoodle puppy for 4 days and 3 nights . He enjoyed his stay, and she did a great job keeping us up to date while we were on vacation.”
About: Pets have brought me so much joy in my life thus far! I’ve owned cats, dogs, ferrets, mice, iguanas, and snakes! There’s no pet friend that I don’t want to meet! I work as a Realtor so I have a very flexible schedule! Happy to pop by to help in a pinch, but would truly love to form a relationship with your fur creature! I’m happy to come to your home to provide care for them. I understand that most pets feel safest in their own space and I’m willing to deliver that experience for you!
“She is amazing! she took care of my golden doodle like it was her own. I will definitely book her again ❤️ her dog summer is the best and got along with mine very well. Don’t hesitate and book her!”
“Tyler was wonderful to work with! Great communication. Our dog is very anxious, but Tyler and her family made him feel right at home, which really put my mind at ease. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Thank you again for a successful and pleasant boarding experience. It is always good to leave your fur baby with someone she loves going to see and spend time with 👍🏾❤️ 🐶”

“Excellent experience. Ken took care of our pup and made her feel like one of his own. Daily pics and updates. Our pup took to Ken like that fun uncle we all have. I recommend Ken for your dog sitting needs. I had to reach out to Ken at the last minute and he welcomed our Bailey into him home with open arms. I will definitely reach out to Ken in the future.”
“Andrea and David were great! This was my first time using Rover and they gave me a great experience. They checked in daily with photos and gave me updates on how my dog was doing each day. They even gave me a keepsake from her stay there! They also made the accommodation to pick up and drop her off which was nice for me with having a 3 month old. I would definitely book with them again if I need someone to watch my girl and I think that you should too!”

Olivia was absolutely amazing! She was great at communicating and kept me updated throughout the entire trip, which gave me peace of mind knowing Bean was in good hands. She made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
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.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Jacksonville is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $54 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 of November 2026, there are 1,051 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
