“Lauren went above and beyond to care for our two cats while we were away! She is very trust worthy and communicative, and I would absolutely have her back anytime she is available to pet sit while we’re away.”
“Trisha has always been available when needed, even on last minute visits. My boys are always well taken care of and she will update you on the entire visit. Will probably always use her services.”
“Really nice with excellent initiative. She wanted to let me know all the things she was capable of and that made for an informative conversation on our initial meet-up. Very kind and prompt. Always keep me informed and I felt save leaving my dogs with her. Would use again.”
“catrina was absolutely amazing with my dogs. she did drop in visits and sent many pictures and videos and kept me updated throughout the entire trip. one of my dogs is reactive and scared of new people, and she agreed to a ‘surprised visit’ and she came over before our trip to make sure our pup was comfortable with her before we left!!! absolutely amazing, super accommodating and has experience with animals, she has many of her own!!! definitely book with catrina!!!!”
“The best service I could have asked for. Exceeded expectations, sent me updates of my cats, played with them, brought in my mail, took out my trash, watered my plant, and was consistent with times he was able to show up. I look forward to working with him in the future as well! Thank you!”
“Have no complaints at all! Annie was caring and transparent when dropping in for visits. I would definitely reach out again if I need someone to check in on my cat.”
About: Send me your problem child! Owner of a tripod! Have had a working pack of dogs I train ages 12 wk to well now ! Doggy PT!

Thanks again, Jacob! 🐾💛”

About: As a previous dog owner myself, I know that dogs love attention and playing, even sometimes just want to be held. Given that I had to give my dog away due to my profession, please allow me to take care of your dog, care for it, and love it on the days you have things going on. I'm available at night on weekdays and all day on the weekends if booked I’m advance. Also if any special requests like washing or brushing are needed, I can do those too! Anything like special food, specific acitivty time, or anything of the like apply to your pet, I'm willing to abide to give your pet the best experience yet and to give piece to your mind while you go out and have fun! I do currently work full time as a civilian on base. My schedule is normally 6am-3pm, depending on what’s needed for the pet I can try my best to adapt my schedule as need be! Currently I won’t be able to house any pets in my home, my complex doesn’t allow pet sitting for my apartment unit (dogs and cats) I’m 100% okay with being able to come by and see your pet, if you’re pet is in a enclose or cage I don’t mind looking after those as well as long as everything is provided to care for the animal (I’m thinking gerbils, hamsters, bunnies, lizards, etc.). Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine depending on what is required from the client regarding their animal. Feedings and pet engagement are my main priority so that if I cannot stay with the animal, the animal is getting social interaction when I drop by for feedings! I do not care for clients pets in my own home however caring for clients pets in their home is strictly followed from what is given guideline wise whether there’s a set of rules a routine an hour by our breakdown - it’s followed! And as always, there’s lots of pets and lots of cuddles involved.
“Brooke did amazing with Ruger and Maggie! She followed the schedule like we talked about and fed them for us as well. Ruger and Maggie behaved well with her kids. Definitely going to be using her in the future!!”
“She was amazing, great at communicating, very friendly. Most importantly though, our doggo loved her!! Highly recommend her we will absolutely have her come back next time.”
About: I have been caring for and watching dogs since I was a young child. Unfortunately, my husband and I are not currently able to get a dog due to the uncertainty of work schedules. Therefore, I decided that there was no better place for me than rover! I would love spending the afternoon walking, playing, hiking, or running with your dog! I have plenty of space for your dog to explore outside, or take them to mini trips to the dog park or to get a pupcup! I grew up with 3 golden retrievers, but have experience caring for pitbulls, dachshunds, boxers, red heeler, pugs, etc. I am also willing to take the time to learn the specific needs of your pet and take the extra step to build a relationship with them to give them the care they need. Please read the "cat care details" to see how I would care for your kitty friends! ☺️ I currently work part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I offer boarding 7 days a week and pet walking and at home visits in the afternoons after 3 pm or anytime on the weekends! I have an open yard for your dogs to run or explore. Your doggos are free to lounge on my furniture or bring their own beds & blankies to sleep on. When caring for dogs at their home, I will gladly take them on however long of a walk they're used to. (I love walking, running, and hiking).
“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!”
“Haley was great! She always texted us if she had a question regarding our boys and took her time when it came to playing. Definitely would recommend and will be having Haley watch our boys if she’s available ☺️”
About: I’ve pet sat for many friends and family since I was in middle school. I have my own furry best friend! He is a 9m old Labrador Retriever and I did all his basic training at home! I currently babysit part time, so that leaves plenty of time in my schedule to take care of your furry friend! I am available for walks during the weeks. Mondays 8am-4pm/ Tuesdays 2pm-4pm/ Wednesdays and Fridays 8am-11am!! During walks I will follow all instructions relating to your dog and their specific needs. I will also make sure they have access to plenty of water!

Allison was a wonderful dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I really appreciated the regular updates and knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She followed all instructions carefully and made sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
Brianna was great! She took wonderful care of our two dogs for six days. We will definitely book with her again. She was very kind, professional and knowledgeable with dogs. The daily notes and pictures were delight to get every day. I highly recommend booking with Brianna.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jacksonville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Jacksonville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Jacksonville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
