Simply the best sitter I could ask for. My dog has special needs. He is in a wheel chair and needs help to pee. But KenLynn has really taken care of him and she is completely reliable. You should really consider her to take care of your pup.

Marcia is an incredible person. I will always ask her to keep my fur baby before even asking a family member. My pet is so happy and comfortable with Marcia, I get a little jealous! 😊🥰❤️

Danielle did an awesome job caring for my fur babies. They were right at home when i picked them up. She kept me posted daily, administered my oldest dog’s med, and allowed me to bring things from home to keep them comfy. We will definitely be returning again for her services.

Alex did a phenomenal job from drop off to pick up, he was super flexible and thorough. Our dog stayed with Alex over the weekend and we gave him a detailed list of our preferences. He went above and beyond by sending update photos of our dog multiple times during the day as well as sent us texts to keep us up to date. Just phenomenal! Thank you Alex.

I had an amazing turn out with Aanchal taking on Toby last minute for the entire weekend, welcoming him in full arms, she updated my everyday with pics & general information on Toby, due to this being his first experience with an stranger Toby loved her immediately. She adjusted to his behaviors catering to his needs & making sure he was so happy & comfortable💕 Toby was actually sad to leave her, which just means in such a short amount of time she connected with him knowing Toby & his past with strangers this really made me so proud & happy & I will continue to board with her. Thank you

Amanda is an exceptional dog sitter. I received ongoing updates and pictures of my two dachshunds. They clearly had a wonderful experience demonstrated in all the pictures she sent of them and her updates. Amanda was sensitive and accommodating with my dog’s special diet and needing to go outside often. Amanda’s love of dogs is evident and I had such peace of mind leaving them in her care. I look forward to a return visit soon! Thanks again Amanda!

Karen was phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout our dog’s stay and was incredibly attentive and caring. She treated our dog like her own, taking her on walks, car rides, and fun adventures around the community. We loved receiving regular updates, messages, and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing she was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!

About: I have taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a little girl. I have had to give medicine to them. I have also taken care of young, old, and high anxiety furry friends. They deserve love and care while you’re away. I work during the week 8am-5pm Monday- Friday (sometimes I get off early on Fridays). I also work right around the corner from where I live and get a hour lunch. I can easily let them out to go potty and play with them especially after I get home. I am off on the weekends so I can definitely be with them all day then. I have a fenced in yard. I have 1 dog and 2 cats to keep your fur baby company! I also have a nice comfy crate as well as a baby gate if needed.

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!

FAQs for Boarding - Jacksonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jacksonville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 224 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.
