“My dog had an amazing time! Randy is an awesome host and the property is perfect for dogs. I also received tons of videos and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Christian Provided to many photos during our pups stay with her. He came back tired from playing with her dog all weekend. Our Pup really seemed to enjoy himself and the environment Christian has. We felt constantly updated and in the loop on what our dog was up to (: great visit for us!”
“Edward is fantastic! Our dog stayed with him for 10 days and came back happy and well-cared for. It took all the stress out of our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Madison and her mom did a great job taking care of our Ellie girl. Madison sent tons of pictures, was always responsive and quick to answer questions and flexible with pick up. Our girl came home a happy pup! We appreciate y’all!! ?”
“Wendy was everything we hoped she'd be. She gave us multiple updates on our dogs status and multiple pics per day. I would use her again without hesitation.”
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.
“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“My doggies had an absolutely lovely time! I was very nervous leaving them with a sitter for the first time, but she did such a wonderful job with them and they all seemed very comfortable. She sent photos and updates throughout their stay, and I was so happy that she was able to be flexible with pickup and drop off time. I would absolutely bring my babies back to her in the future!”
“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”
“Adriana was amazing! My dog took to her immediately and he’s normally shy. She had a pool for my dog to swim in and a big backyard for him to run around and play. She sent me pics and videos of him everyday while I was away. She also helped me by cooking his food for him while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking with Adriana when I go on my next trip!”
“She took Legend at a last minute request with no issues. She kept me updated with messages and photos. Legend was good with her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Tannia and Chris are by far the best sitters I have ever had! My dog doesn't typically do well with other pups, but their dog Domino is an angel and they get along beautifully. They also had no problem handling my older dog's many medications. Tannia is extremely responsive and sends so many cute pictures, which really helps put my mind at ease when traveling.”
“Hannah was amazing! She was so flexible and easy to communicate with! My little Ray loved her and she treated him like her own! We will definitely use her whenever we need a sitter! I highly recommend her!”
“Imani was absolutely professional and provided my babies with comfortable accommodations during my 4 day vacation. My dogs are seniors and require a lot of attention and I appreciate how attentive she was to all of their needs. As a dog mom I’m always a bit nervous about leaving my babies behind when I go on vacation, but she put my mind at ease. She sent ample pictures throughout their stay and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. 5/5 🐾, highly recommended. I would definitely book her now!”
“Rosangely is amazing. She communicated through the entire stay, kept me updated when anything was going on, and overall just a very calm, sweet person. Your pets will enjoy their time with her.”
“Great set up for the dogs! We loved getting pictures of our happy pups during their stay. They had so much room to run and play. Great communication. Definitely recommend.”
“Our dog was so excited to go back to Marilyn's this week! Marilyn is sweet and kind. She sends pictures and messages that really help ease our minds while we're away.”
“Yekaterina was amazing. She sent lots of pictures and even some videos. I had no doubt she loved my fur baby and provided excellent care. I felt so comfortable leaving her that I have already rebooked with her.”

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.
Hannah was absolutely incredible caring for our dog, Rogan, for nearly four weeks. Rogan was treated like part of the family, and it was clear he felt right at home. She sent multiple pictures almost every day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and caring Hannah is—when it was raining and outdoor play was limited, she even went out and bought Rogan a toy to keep him entertained. That is above and beyond! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. We would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Another amazing stay with Sherrie and her family :) my baby loves staying with her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him! You can truly tell she loves animals and treats her guests like they are her own! 🥰🩷 if you are looking for the right sitter, book here!!!!
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!
Sweet Ashley and her husband took great care of my 5 yr old Rat Terrier, Petey! They have a lovely home with a big grassy back yard not too far from us. And they have an 8 yo Daschund named Tank, who is very loveable and makes friends easily. They went on walks, played fetch, and he even slept in their bed! I don’t think Petey missed us one bit. He’s going back there next time we go out of town!

There are 1,077 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Jacksonville. About 94% of Jacksonville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
