Larissa is wonderful! I have a bernese mountain dog and she usually has a lot of trouble adjusting to new environments, but Larissa made sure that she felt comfortable, safe and right at home! Zoe loved her and her family so much.

Aanchal is the perfect pet sitter. She communicates extremely well and is enthusiastic about boarding your pet. Our dog, Colden, had a wonderful weekend stay! He was well cared for, exercised, played and cuddled with! We could see that he was very happy to be there. Aanchal was very comfortable and reassuring when we dropped-off and picked-up our dog. Thank you Aanchal!

Jasmine and Joseph were fantastic! Our dog can be a little timid in new situations and with other dogs, but their dog Kairo was so friendly and playful that our dog didn’t take long to warm up with to his new “best friend”. Jasmine sent texts each days with updates so we never wondered how it was going. They were really great! Thanks for taking such great care of Georgie!

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!

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 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.
