“Our dog was well taken care of. He was not stressed when I picked him up. Larissa sent progress notes and photos everyday. I will definitely be using Larissa's services in the future!”
“KenLynn is always wonderful to work with! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive, she is the perfect choice!”
“This was our fur baby's first overnight without the presence of any family member. Marcia was very accommodating as our baby doesn't do good in confined spaces and kennel is not an option for him. After a trial visit at Marcia's house he came home and was happy which made us feel relieved. We tried doggie daycare before and he came home super anxious and seemed depressed. We will definitely use Marcia's services in the future because we love seeing our baby happy. Thank you Marcia for opening your home to our fur baby.”
“My dogs felt safe and had fun with Lannette while we were away for two weeks! She did great keeping me updated and sending pictures. Hope to book with her again in the future!”
“Ann was excellent with our Xena puppy. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the start, she was communicative and thorough with instructions on routine. Xena got to make so many friends at her pet, Ricky's b-day party while we were away. It was obvious Xena was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi!! I’m new here! My name is Lily, I’m 19 years old and I’m looking to take care of some fur babies!!! I have experience caring for pets and understand that every animal has their own unique needs and temperament. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving medication, refreshing water, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, providing lots of love and attention and so much more. I’m responsible, patient, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whatever your pet may be, I’m open to all sorts of animals! They will all be loved with the most attention under my care! I currently have an open schedule through out the week, and I will be able to work around your availability and timing! Let me know what days and time you would prefer and I will be more than happy to work with you Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Reagan took very good care of our girls. She sent pictures and updates and responded pretty quickly when I asked about them. Her home is non smoking so I didn’t have to worry about taking them to the groomer right away. Would definitely have her dog sit for us again if she’ll have us. lol. Thank you Reagan!”
“Very attentive. Our old girl gave him a pretty rough first night. He took great care of her despite her being the messiest girl in the room. I would definitely recommend to take care of your furry friends.”
“One of the best sitters we’ve had. Our dogs really enjoyed being in her home. I received many pictures and videos of them having a blast. 100% recommend booking her”
“Home away from home! Thanks to Kylene for providing such loving and comfortable care for our guy while we were out of town. Not only did we stay in close contact, but Kylene accommodated our drop off and pick up needs. Our guy needs meds and gentle handling and Kylene ensured he was well cared for. No doubt we will rely on Kylene’s services in the future! Love her!”
“We had to leave our 6 month old puppy for a summer vacation, I was so nervous to leave him for over a week, but Samantha was wonderful, he is full of puppy energy and loved playing with her dogs, she provided frequent updates and photos and was so flexible, Apollo had a great time and we will defiantly use her again!”
“If I could give Danielle and her husband 10 stars I would. Our dog hurt his leg two days before we were to leave on a eight day cruise and she took great care of him, giving him his medicine and making sure he didn’t jump, go down/up stairs or play too hard which anyone knows is hard in itself with a dog. She offered to take him to the vet if he got worse and kept us updated every day. They are amazing honestly and we definitely will be using her going forward. If you are looking for a groomer she has her own grooming business as well called Hugz-N-Kisses Pet Spa definitely check her out!!!”
“Overall great experience booking with Alexander! We left Sadie (6 year old German shepherd) in his care for 8 days and each day we received updates and pictures. I would definitely book with again in the future.”
“Baxter had a fabulous time with Rebecca and her dog Lincoln. As always, he was happy to see me but I am positive he won't mind staying over another trip. Will definitely save Rebecca as a future dog sitter should we need it! Thanks Rebecca and family!”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care that Olivia and her husband provided for my dog. Olivia went seriously above and beyond for Kato during his stay (which was a last minute booking for Christmas too). Kato is a bigger, young bully, so he’s not always the easiest to handle. Olivia handled him with ease and treated him like her own family pet. I received pictures, they went on hikes and car rides, etc (above and beyond like I said) 💕💕 I’m so glad we found Olivia. I’ve had some bad experiences with pet sitters, but I had no anxiety or worries during this stay and that’s priceless. I would 100% recommend Olivia and her husband to everyone.”

We can’t say enough good things about Kristen! Our golden retriever was incredibly anxious about being away from us, but Kristen handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and professionalism. She took the time to earn his trust, never rushed the process, and always kept us updated. It was clear she truly cared about his well-being and comfort. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to have found Kristen and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone! She’s truly a gem!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jacksonville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 221 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Jacksonville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Jacksonville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jacksonville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Jacksonville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Jacksonville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
