“Alissa and Mario took amazing care of my shy kitty. They took the time to get to know her, kept her litter, food, and water clean and refilled and they are respectful and communicative! Definitely recommend”
“Reliable and loves what she does with a passion and it shows with her amazing care of my pets! I have her for long term help and it gives me such a peace knowing they are well cared for and loved. I highly recommend her if you need help, too.”
“Madison is excellent! My partner and I were able to have a great trip knowing our cats were with someone who loves animals. Their meds were no problem for her after having their first introduction👌. Everything was well taken care of when we walked in which was perfect after a long drive ❤️ Definitely a sitter to keep at the top of our list. Thank you for your help!!!!”
“Kierstynn did a great job with our girls. She is reliable, kind and cares for our girls as if they were her own. It’s been such a relief for us to know we have someone trust worthy. We greatly appreciate her pet sitting! Will definitely continue to book with her.”
“She was lovely with my kitties and I appreciated the attentiveness to the litter box and her many attempts to convince my scaredy cat Maxie to eat until his hunger finally won out. Will definitely be using her services again and hopefully my Maxie will apprehensively get to know her better.”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats over the last 25 years. I have my own dog and cat but have also cared for friends dogs and cats. I currently cannot have them in my home but it is easy for me to let them out, walk them, feed them, brush them and give them love. I have given medication to both dogs and cats and have cared for seniors as well. I am available evenings and weekends. I work Monday through Friday, with a volunteer job Sunday mornings. I am able to care after 4:30pm during the week and pretty much all day on Saturday. If I am letting your pet outside at your house I will be with them and watch them the whole time. I am unable to have them in my home at this time. I will spend time playing fetch or whatever I can to make your dog/cat happy.
“Michelle helped us with a last minute cancellation. She was professional, responsive and had the patience to work with our shy kitty. We've already scheduled another drop in with her!”
About: I have always been the one everyone goes to for animal care. Animals are driven to me. And when I come into somebody's home, the animals always sit with me or love up on me. I know how to take care of a variety of animals from dogs, cats, exotic animals, too farm animals. I have started watching pets on my own and have nothing but great reviews. I work for myself and I need a flexible schedule, as my son is autistic. He loves having animals around as well. I am a single mom and I love the fact that I can teach my son the appreciation for animals and what they bring into the home. When I am able to care for your pet in my home, they are able to socialize with my dog is well. He is very active. He is a lab pit mix. He is friendly and never had any issue with any other kind of animals. Your pet will also have more one on one care. When i do check ups at your home I'm only there for a short time and tend to get anxiety from being alone too long.

“Melissa was incredibly helpful and assisting. Due to an unavoidable last second change in our previous sitter’s plan, we were left without a pet sitter during the holidays. Melissa stepped up with the correct questions, answers, and a level of care that we knew our pets were in good hands for the holidays. Our pets loved her and she provided great communication on them while we were out of town.”
“Did an amazing job at keeping my kitties happy, safe, and living in a clean environment! Always kept me updated with pictures and updates. Definitely would recommend her to care for any of your pets.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville
We can not begin to express our gratitude for Alissa and Mario! They went above what was expected and helped to relieve some of our anxiety over our girl getting loose. We absolutely HIGHLY recommend them and as long as they are here we will be using them again! ❤️ Rachael & Taylor
Jade was amazing! She went above and beyond what I requested and honestly it was so refreshing coming back from traveling and not having to do anything immediately for my cats. I will definitely be rebooking her again for any future travel plans I have if she is available!
I recently hired Andrea to care for my two cats, Casper and Spirit, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was exceptionally reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of their care routine. Casper and Spirit can be a bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to Andrea right away — a true testament to her calm and caring nature. I received regular updates and photos, which gave my wife complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable at home. I came back to two relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine affection Andrea showed toward my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Jacksonville is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $22 per visit.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 sitter.
