About: Over the past several years, my family and I have worked with organizations including St. Hubert’s, SPCA, Rosemary’s Dogs, and Rogers’ Rescues. I’ve trained over 30 dogs and puppies in basic obedience and leash skills, socialized kittens, and cared for animals of all ages and personalities. I’ve also fostered kittens through local shelters, including bottle-feeding and raising neonatal kittens. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra attention and patience. These experiences have taught me how to read animal body language and recognize when a pet is excited, nervous, playful, or just wants some space. I love getting to know each animal’s personality because no two pets are the same! Whether your pet loves long walks, energetic playtime, or just having someone to hang out with, I’ll do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I enjoy getting to know each pet as an individual because no two animals are the same. I have a very open schedule, allowing me to be available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits with reasonable notice. I enjoy building my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they can stay on their normal routine. I am experienced in walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I will try to make it fun and interactive for your pet. I am willing to provide my contact information, will constantly send photos, and track our walk so you can rest assured that your dog is doing well.

About: I have taken care of almost every dog in my small town from Alaska! I am trusted by everyone in my town with any variety of pets. I take care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles! I owned two reptiles back in Alaska so I have experience. If you need a reliable person who is good with all animals, give me a shout! I am currently living a life of freedom and nature loving. I travel around the world in my camper van and take care of pets all across the way. I would be more than happy to stay with your pet while you were away as well if that would make both the owner and the pet more comfortable. I would be willing to stay at no extra charge. I am incredibly flexible with the care of any pet and I will follow the owners instructions as directed to make sure their pet friend does not have a disturbed routine. If your pup needs time to play outside, I would be happy to exercise them as needed. I can feed as many times a day as needed and can provide regular care.

About: I’ve never known life without a furry friend by my side! Growing up, my family always had pets of our own and regularly fostered dogs and cats from our local animal shelter. Through fostering, I’ve had the opportunity to care for animals of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds, from energetic, playful pups to shy animals who need a little extra patience and love. I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and caring for pets has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I recently graduated from college and moved to a new city to begin my career. For the first time, I don’t have a pet of my own, and I miss having animals around! Pet sitting is the perfect opportunity for me to share that love while giving pet parents peace of mind. I’m responsible, dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. You can also count on plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away! I currently work in sales, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to accommodate different pet care needs throughout the week. I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks, playtime, and quality time with your furry friends into my routine is something I genuinely look forward to! I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! I’m very respectful of others’ homes and always make sure to leave spaces just as clean as I found them. I carefully follow each pet’s individual routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. Having grown up fostering animals, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind!

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. In addition to caring for my own black Labrador, Raven, I provide house sitting, dog walking, and pet care for clients in Jacksonville 32207 and surrounding areas. My experience includes dogs of different sizes and personalities, from little pugs to golden retrievers and Labs. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. Whether your pup enjoys an active walk, a leisurely sniff, playtime, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to suit them. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. My goal is to give your pet attentive, dependable care - and give you peace of mind. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, both with my own Labrador, Raven, and the dogs I care for. I plan bookings around my existing commitments so I can give each pet attentive care. We’ll discuss your pet’s routine and scheduling needs before confirming a booking. I take the trust you place in me seriously. Before caring for your pet, I like to discuss their routines, temperament, leash manners, and any special needs. I follow your care instructions, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and respect your home. I’ll provide photos and updates so you can feel connected while you’re away.

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Sitter – Specialist in Large Breeds & Seniors I have a lifelong love for animals and years of experience as a dedicated pet parent. After losing my 12-year-old Mastiff/Lab mix, Honey Bear, and my 19-year-old tabby, Eli, I’ve realized I’m not quite ready for a new pet of my own—but I have so much love left to give! I am offering my services to help others who need a reliable, attentive, and deeply caring sitter. Whether it’s long walks (one of my favorite activities!) or providing gentle care for senior pets, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I am very comfortable and experienced handling larger breeds and understand the specific needs of pets at all stages of life. If you’re looking for someone who will truly cherish your furry family members, I’d love to meet you. Please reach out to chat or schedule a visit!

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 ❤️

About: I have been a pet owner all my life and expanded on my pet caring skills when I worked for a major pet store for three years, earning many pet care certifications including nutrition, first aid, and special needs caring. I am the proud and loving owner of dogs and cats and also foster shelter animals, and give them all the highest standard of care so they can have the best lives as possible. I have extensive experience with puppies, kittens and cats, reactive animals, misunderstood breeds, high energy breeds, and senior animals that require medications and more specialized care, as well as special needs pets. I have a passion for all animals, and I look forward to the opportunity of taking care of yours! I have open availability and can work with a variety of schedules and pet care needs. I would love to connect and see how I can help you care for your pets. I am reliable and always use the highest safety procedures when meeting, walking, and taking care of pets. With each visit I’ll provide a thorough update with photos so you know your pet is being well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to find a great pet sitter and treat my pet sitting clients like my own pets, prioritizing their safety, health, and well being, while ensuring they are fulfilled and all needs are met. I can offer individualized approaches if you have multiple pets or pets with specific needs. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! I have a very flexible schedule day to day and can usually accommodate requests with short notice. I am available for any level of care you are looking for, and aim to accommodate the schedule you need for your pet care. Safety is my top priority when caring for any pets. I ensure all pets are actively supervised and monitored at all times. I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and body language to anticipate feelings in any situation.

I had a fantastic experience with Karen. She is friendly and calm with my nervous dog Luna, which made a huge difference for her first walk with a new person. I really appreciated how Karen took the time to ask thoughtful questions about Luna's routine, quirks, and comfort level before heading out. It was clear Karen genuinely cares about making the walk a positive experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing dog walker. She got my very stubborn dog to actually walk which was a miracle and made sure they were completely safe and taken care of. It’s always scary letting someone take care of your furbabies for the first time and she made me feel so comfortably and at ease! Will definitely use her again.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Jacksonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Jacksonville is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 2,376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Jacksonville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Jacksonville after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
