About: I have taken care of all types of dogs for about 2 years. I have a dog of my own she is a handful but my whole world 🥹. I would love to be of help to anyone I can. I work part time at a grocery store. I mainly work nights so I get off anywhere between 9 and 11pm. So when trying to schedule check ins I would recommend scheduling the first check in later in the morning so there is less time in between each check in. I have a fenced in yard it’s fairly large enough room to run and play if needed I feel confident in my abilities to safely get your dog in a crate

About: Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! I'm looking for occasional work as I transition into a new career. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too. In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.

About: Experienced & Trustworthy. Walks, Feeding, Playtime & Lots of Love. Medication Administration (if needed). Your pet will be cared for like family while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I am able to plan visits around consistent morning, afternoon, and evening routines. I’m flexible and can accommodate feeding times, walks, and check-ins as needed. I’m also available for weekends and can adjust for special requests. This allows me to provide reliable, consistent care while meeting each pet’s routine. Follow instructions and keep the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and rest. Provide daily exercise, playtime, fresh water, and clean-up to maintain a healthy environment. Monitor the behavior and health, and give medication as directed if needed. Keep the home safe and clean, communicate updates to humans and provide attentive, loving care.

About: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.

About: What sets me apart is that I actually stick to your pet’s routine and pay attention to the little things. I also don’t mind helping taking care of exotic pets because I am trying to be an Exotics/Wildlife Veterinarian and have always had a passion for exotics, so I’ll be more than happy to help! I’ve helped with puppy training like potty reinforcing basic commands, but I am always willing to learn any crate training or potty training. I’m also comfortable with senior pups and making sure they get extra patience, slower walks, or medications if needed but I will need to learn how to administer your pup’s medication. I always send updates and photos so you know your pups are happy and taken care of. Pet care fits really well into my routine since I’m mostly available in the afternoons. I usually plan my classes and responsibilities earlier in the day, so afternoons are open for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and playtime. It works out great because I can give pets my full attention without feeling rushed, and I’m able to stay consistent with their schedule. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I follow feeding and walk schedules, give them plenty of attention, and respect their personality and space. I’m also very respectful of the home and always send updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.

We needed someone to walk our GSD at lunchtime for us. My daughter suggested using the Rover app. We were so lucky to have found Chloe! Hey and my fur baby hit it right off. Chloe is absolutely wonderful! Very prompt and great communication ! We appreciate all she does for us and our Jameson, we asked her to dog sit as well. She loves our fur baby and she loves her too! Thank you Chloe!!!

About: I grew up with dogs as a kid. As an adult I’ve owned 2 dogs for a total of 4 years. The first I had for 3 years and had gotten him from a friend due to PCS. My current is a GSD that I got as an 8 week puppy who is currently over a year old that I trained myself. I currently work about 6-8 hours a day but have a short commute to work so if needed, I am able to check in on pets on a more frequent basis. I take my dog outdoors pretty frequently since he’s high energy whether it be on walks or for play in the yard. At least once a week, I take him somewhere public to work on his socialization and training with distractions. We train pretty frequently as well and have to say he does pretty well so if you’d like, I can assist in anything you’re trying to train. Disclaimer though, I’m not a professional trainer, only dogs I’ve trained are the ones I’ve owned. I live in a house with a pretty large fenced yard. I’m a big advocate for dogs getting activity, whether that’s physical like a walk or play outside or if it’s any kind of mental stimulation. My dog is crate trained and stays in his crate while I am not at home. I would prefer the same of your pet to ensure safety of your fur baby while I am away. Once I’m home, I allow my dog to free roam the house and will do the same for yours. My dog has been around several dogs and cats and is very friendly, social and playful, however, if needed, I have the ability to separate animals that don’t get along to ensure their safety. If there’s any questions on care I provide, please feel free to reach out! I’m pretty flexible and will do my best provide the care your pet is used to/needs.

About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that pets and owners can trust. My background includes caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, puppies, senior pets, high-energy breeds, and pets with unique routines or special needs. Growing up around animals and spending years working closely with them has taught me how to read pet behavior, create a calm environment, and build trust quickly. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine connection I create with every animal. I treat each pet like family not just another appointment. I focus on safety, reliability, communication, and making sure pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or overnight care, I go above and beyond to give owners peace of mind and pets the attention they deserve. I will be available all summer full time from June- August as I am a high school teacher during the year. If needed I can also continue working part time during the school year. I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where pets are treated like part of the family. In my home, pets receive constant supervision, structured routines, plenty of playtime, exercise, and individualized attention based on their personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space, closely monitor interactions, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so owners always feel informed and comfortable while away. As a pet owner myself with a friendly golden retriever puppy, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and proper care. My puppy is well-socialized and helps create a fun, welcoming environment for visiting pets while still respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries. With over 10 years of hands-on pet experience, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone pet owners can truly count on for peace of mind.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I previously helped care for 4 dogs, over 10 cats, and 3 horses, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also have experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for and handled a variety of animals. In addition, I pet sit for my uncle when needed, where I care for his 3 dogs. I recently moved and now have 2 of my cats with me, but I still have plenty of experience from caring for a larger group of animals. I understand how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is currently flexible as I’m in the process of settling into a new area. I’ll be coordinating availability around my husband’s work schedule, but I’m open to dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting when I’m available. I’m happy to communicate and work with pet owners to find times that work best, and I’ll always be upfront and reliable with scheduling. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, and instructions exactly as given. I’m very patient and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is a lifetime of genuine, hands-on experience. I’ve been caring for both cats and dogs since I was five years old, giving me an instinctive understanding of their needs, personalities, and comfort cues. Over the years, I’ve also gained experience administering medications safely and confidently, whether it’s pills, drops, or special routines. With me, your pets aren’t just looked after—they’re understood, cared for, and treated like family. I am retired military with 4 of my own cats. I am available Monday through Friday, after 6pm and Saturday-Sunday 8am to 4pm. Adding more animals to my daily routine brings joy to my day. I can care for you fur babies in your home by helping them keep to their normal daily routine. I can offer plenty of attention, love, pets, cuddles and whatever else to treat them like the family they are

About: I also work in a boarding and doggy daycare facility. I am trained in medicine administration. I work daily around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs. I do have certifications in dog behavior. I work around 6 hours a day with my current facility and am always upfront and honest about my availability. I normally find out a week out what the following schedule for me will be like, if I make a commitment I always make sure to stick to it. I follow instructions set by owners depending on how strict you would like to be. I can normally get a dogs vibe and learn who I have to be slow and gentle with and which dog is super friendly and ready to play right away! I follow set times for feedings, vitamins, meds, etc.

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).

Liz is super. She is reliable to come when scheduled. If there are any changes, she is flexible to our needs. Communication is great; she always provides a report and photos. Most importantly, she loves Baby and gives her the attention needed. If you are looking for an experienced person to love and walk your dog, look no further. We highly recommend her.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Jacksonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Jacksonville on Rover is $15.54 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 595 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Jacksonville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Jacksonville.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville. On Rover:

  • 97% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
