About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !

About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️

Jeweliana is professional, communicative, and courteous. She was patient with my shy cats and allowed them time to warm up and get comfortable with her. Both my home and my animals were very well taken care of while I was away.

About: My partner and I don’t currently have any pets and we will love to take care of yours! ❤️ I’ve been around dogs since age four and since then I’ve cared for numerous dogs, including those with special health needs. 🏥💉I’ve been a Rover sitter for several years and now provide full-time, attentive care. Comfortable with administering medications and following detailed care instructions, I ensure every dog feels safe and loved. If you’d like to meet up at a dog park to ensure that this is the best fit for you and your furry friend, just let me know! I do this because I love animals! I am a full time dog sitter and trainer I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I start mornings around 7 a.m. with feeding, followed by walks and playtime. Throughout the day, pets receive regular potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I provide constant supervision, and pets are only crated if needed or requested by the owner. I rarely leave the house, and if I do, it’s only for short, essential errands and never for more than an hour. In a client’s home, I maintain their space respectfully while ensuring their pet receives attentive, reliable care at all times. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs get plenty of daily walks, exercise, and enrichment. I prioritize regular outdoor time so pets stay happy, active, and mentally stimulated, even without a yard.

About: My day job is as a wildlife biologist, and I have worked with everything from Japanese giant salamanders to gopher tortoises. I have watched pets for neighbors and friends for years and love dogs especially! I am free in evenings (5pm or later) and weekends pretty consistently (I work full time as a wildlife biologist during the day). Happy with long or short walks, even on hot days. I don't have any pets at home right now, but I am comfortable with a wide variety of animals. I am skilled at reading animal body language and always strive to make pets feel safe.

About: I have grown up having pets and over the years house sat or taken care of many family, friends and church family pets. Love to play with them as well!! I am more available in the evenings and weekends. I have the flexibility to help out when and where I can when needed as well.

5/5 Stars – Meticulous and Incredibly Caring! We hired Cadence to watch our furbaby while we were away on a week-long vacation to San Diego, and she was absolutely phenomenal. This was the longest we have ever been away from him, so we were naturally a bit anxious, but Cadence completely put our minds at ease. Her communication was fantastic throughout the entire week. She was so sweet, caring, and incredibly respectful of our home. She didn't just do the bare minimum—she took meticulous time every day to play with him, give him his treats, brush him out, and keep his feeding schedule perfectly on track. It is such a relief to find a pet sitter you can truly trust. We would definitely use Cadence again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pet!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for years. As a former Doberman owner, I’m comfortable with large, high energy, or powerful breeds that need strong, confident handling. (But I love all doggos) Will do long walks around the neighborhood or visits! I make sure every pup gets exercise, affection, and attention. I’m super reliable, quick to respond, and dedicated to following your exact feeding, routine, and care instructions to keep your pet happy and safe! Pet care fits naturally into my day-to-day routine! Whether I’m boarding your pup at my place or house sitting and walking at yours, they’ll get tons of focused attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of activity. Plus, I live within walking distance of Kanine Social for fun outings (with your permission, of course!). I’m always happy to adjust my schedule to match your dog’s specific energy level and daily habits. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first, period. Having owned a Doberman, I’m totally comfortable and experienced handling large, strong, high-energy breeds. I don’t have a fenced yard, so I rely on frequent/long walks . I strictly follow feeding and care instructions, send daily photo updates so you’re never wondering how they’re doing, and treat your home and pets with complete respect.

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for many years to help my family and friends. It’s time to be rewarded for my love for animals and be paid by others for my services. It’s hard to find good “customer service” these days; I am the opposite, your pets will get great service/attention from ME! Bonus: my career has been as an Administrative Assistant so I’m very organized and can assist with other things too, if needed, requested and discussed. I am currently unemployed and have all the time in the world to care for my pet and yours. Toodles of course would stay home. Toodles is an inside cat. She is proven healthy and well fed, I clean the litter box and her food bowls daily. She gets treats and love. We just bought her a new perch to watch the birds and lizards outside the window. In someone else’s home with their pets, I care for them exactly as asked. Walks, feed, love, crate (if necessary), it is what the client wants that their pet shall get!

About: I have about three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m patient, attentive, and very mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and safety. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone new, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I also have a son so I know how important it is to be able to trust someone to care of your loved one(s). I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with pet care. I plan my days carefully around my work schedule and my son’s daycare so pets receive proper attention, walks, playtime, and calm companionship without being rushed. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in clean and calm environments, and make sure they’re always supervised appropriately. I respect each pet’s routine and temperament and communicate clearly with owners to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years. It’s a true joy and pleasure. Love spending my time with them as creating bonds I am available 2-8 hours a week. I work full time and miss having my own dog, so sitting dogs comes naturally and a is a joy. I can walk, board, and clean after dogs. With cats it’s the same and clean the litter box. Spend time playing with them and taking care of any anxieties.

About: I love all animals, big and small! Whether I need to make sure they don't pee on everything or chew up the house I can provide support and attention to your pup! I have a puppy myself so I know how difficult it can get. Regardless of age, weight or breed they all need a little company! I work out alot so if your pup is a runner or just requires a lot of exercise I can tire them out. Or if they just need a cuddle buddy I'm there too! I can handle any dietary restrictions, medical needs or just little quirks if needed. I also know CPR just in case it's ever needed. I love spending time with dogs (and cats) as much as I can!

Steven was wonderful with my staffy/pitty mix & lil dachsund mix, did a meet & greet, communicated well the whole time & navigated their separation anxiety, very different personalities, and barking neighbor dogs with ease. I was struck by how automatically steven interacted with my smaller dog in a way that helped him feel comfortable with a new person, and indulged my big dog pretending to be a lap dog 😀 thank you! Will book again

I needed someone to drop in on Brodie over the weekend while I was traveling, and Jess was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. She was even happy to have a FaceTime call before the first visit, which gave me great peace of mind. Jess came by four times in total, always on time, and sent tons of pictures and videos so I could see how happy my boy was with her. It’s clear she truly cares. 10/10 I would definitely recommend her!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Jacksonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Jacksonville on Rover is $18.87 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,410 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Jacksonville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Jacksonville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
