About: I have had dogs all my life, I currently have 4 dogs in my family home, one of them being solely mine! I have always loved them so much and trained all my dogs all the tricks and such they know. I had been a volunteer at the humane society of Catawba valley for 4 years when I was in college and that is now how I have my rescue, Bella. I am constantly donating to animal organizations and also fostered 3 puppies about 3 years ago. I am now fostering dogs for a rescue until they get adopted and I love it so much. I dog sit friends and families dogs all the time and they are always very pleased! Your dog will love being and playing with me I promise! They will be in the best care possible and I will attend to any special needs as well! I like to know any behavioral / aggressive tendencies as well so I can make your pet as happy and as comfortable as possible! : )
About: My love for dogs started in my parents home. We had 3 different dogs growing up. I had a pet for 5 years. Be a pack leader and place pet safety 1st with a great dog walking or sitter experience. Don't have a dog now but love watching AKC competition and westminster dog show . Starting to jog now and can orient dog into the jogging routine. I have room in my large condo 1200 square feet. HVe dog bowl for water and food. Have a big green area around building to walk and jog.
About: I love all animals. I think they are truly such gifts to the world. My experience ranges from puppies and kittens to more senior dogs. One of my regular clients has a dog that requires a little more TLC as he has thyroid and eye issues that require specific medication. I like to ensure all animals are well-loved, cared for, and have all of their needs met. I'm currently a freelancer that can work from anywhere, so I have tons of free time to ensure all pets are well-loved and cared for! I like to thoroughly discuss with my clients what their normal routine with their pets are. Are they allowed on the couch? How often do you go on walks? Dietary restrictions? How often are they fed and how much? Any medications I need to account for? Vet information for emergencies? Etc. Once I've taken all of that information into account, I'll apply all of it during my time with the pets and also supply them with all of the love and attention they could possibly need.
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
About: I am a school teacher and a life-long animal lover and have had pets since I was a young child. I currently have 3 dogs (and a horse). Two of my dogs have their intermediate trick titles and also compete and do well in agility. The third is an older deaf rescue. I am experienced with handling and also training dogs. During the summer, I have worked with a local company for 8 years for dog walking as well as dog/cat sitting for vacation clients. Through word of mouth I've had training clients and hope to add that service through Rover. I also I am fairly new to Rover since my availability depends on when school is in session. I am a teacher so I am available all summer for walks or pet-sitting. I also do days I am off work and some holidays. I am not available during the weekdays when school is in session. I treat clients' dogs like my own. I do prefer a meet and greet before caring for your pet. I will only care for pets in the client's home since I already have 3 dogs of my own. I am quiet and calm with animals to put them at ease. I can take them for a walk, or will play ball or whatever your dog enjoys playing. I can feed your pet, give treats, meds, and always provide fresh water. I am responsible and always show up, stay the full amount of time, and make sure the house is just as I left it. Dogs are always happy to see me. Your dog will get lots of love during my visits.
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
About: I LOVE dogs. I have always loves dogs and dogs have always loved me (not trying to toot my horn, lol). I have older kids in the house ages 14-19 who love dogs as much as I do. There will be no lack of attention given to your fur baby. I do work during the week. I have my mom who lives with us that is home everyday and my 19yr old daughter who is home from collage for the summer that is very excited to be my partner. I live in a single family home with a fenced in backyard. We have a 2yr old Goldendoodle who is great with other dogs and can keep you fur baby company.
“This was Connor's first visit with our girls Kiwi and Rio. He was on time, followed protocols and communicated promptly. Very happy about all 3 of those things! We have scheduled another visit soon.”
“Dia is a fabulous person and dog walker! Eager to know all about your furbaby. Asks thoughtful questions. She is knowledgeable about dog training having taken classes. Thoughtful, kind and flexible. Grace took to Dia right away. Sent pictures too! We are so fortunate to have found Dia. She is a gem. Dia was also able to walk Grace on 8/6 and 8/7 with short notice. Dia is now our "go to" furbaby helper. A really wonderful person.”
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life as an owner. Ive had small dogs, terriers, and their strong will and playfulness to large dogs, ie German Shepard, and their willfulness and loyalty. I love them all and understand how to build trust with a pet. Ive also become a cat owner to tow boys bringing our home pack to 2 dogs and 2 cats. Currently I have a flexible schedule for drop ins during the day or evening. I am glad to feed them, play, and take out for breaks. Available any day except Sundays. Our home has invisible fence and our dogs are trained to remain in the years. We have also had fenced yards in the past. I can and do walk smaller dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of my best friends and close family friends pets for over 5 years. They have spent nights at my house and I overall just enjoy spending time with dogs since I’ve always having pets around. I work part time at the moment and I have lots of free time I don’t mind working any time of day. Just not too early:) I have a fenced in yard and lots of space and lots of fun toys and space for outside time and play time. I love being and spending time being active outdoors as well
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs and cats. My experience includes providing basic care, feeding, spending quality time with pets, keeping their environment clean, and paying attention to their individual needs. I genuinely enjoy making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time and in school so I am available on the weekdays mainly in the morning or early afternoon. If overnight care is needed, then I can stay the night on Friday nights starting at 10pm and can stay until 8am. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special needs or preferences. I keep pets supervised, make sure they have access to fresh water, and maintain a clean and secure environment. I also understand how important it is to earn an owner’s trust, so I communicate regularly with updates and photos and treat every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own.
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life and know from experience they are truly family. My goal is to always treat them that way. Whether your pup is social or shy, energetic or a couch potato, I'm ready :) I'm up for talking them for walks, playing in the yard, getting some energy out, or just hanging if that's their speed. I am currently off for the summer so my availability is very flexible. I will have my son with me at times, but he is very used to dogs. My pup is my furbaby, as is yours. Whatever your house rules are for the yard, furniture, or anything else, I'll follow that. I'm comfortable with leads, crates, or regular leashes.
“Kendall is very attentive to my dogs. She arrives during the scheduled time and actively plays with my dogs - tossing a ball, giving love and belly rubs. She also reads their body language and notices when they are ready to go back in the house and she will hang out with them in the house till the scheduled end time.”

Sadie is very kind and paid close attention to all information I gave her, including training I'm currently working on with my pup, and continued to follow that training on their walks. Sadie sent lots of pictures and I could tell that my pup obviously had a great time. I would gladly have Sadie take care of my pup in the future and would recommend her to others.

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.

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 .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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.
