“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!”

“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.”

“Cynthia was absolutely amazing!! She kept me updated with so many photos and videos so I was able to enjoy my vacation while knowing my pups were taken care of. I 100% recommend her to everyone! Thank you so much again Cynthia!”

“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!”

“Oakley enjoyed staying with Kenzie!! They were very flexible with us concerning drop off and pick up times. Would definitely board with them again! It's always hard to leave your dog, but we felt good leaving her with Kenzie. A very positive experience all around.”

“Tianna was wonderful. She took great care of my 11 month old boxer for 2 weeks. She sent me pictures daily of Gracie and kept me up to date as to how she was doing. Recommend Tianna to anyone wanting someone to love and care for their dog.”

“I can’t say enough about Aramae and her family. They took great care of our two little ones over the holiday. She treated them like family and kept us updated. Thank you so much.”

“Mya was a life saver for my family- her quick response for a last minute long term stay was incredible. Her attention to detail, compassion, communication, and unconditional love towards Aster and our family is something we’ll forever be so grateful for. Thank you to Mya and her husband for their support and handling of our beloved dog- I’d recommend her 100%. Mya was thorough and thoughtful on everything from bathing requests to making sure kitchen renovations were OK for Aster to go through… I trusted her knowing she had Asters best wishes in mind everyday. She made me feel so comfortable knowing Aster was safe and in good hands. Again, thank you so much- her 3+ month stay was greatly appreciated and we’re forever grateful!!”

“It’s a comfort for me when my dog, Zeke, is in Sandy’s care. When I’m away I can focus on what I need to do and I don’t worry about Zeke at all. I’m very grateful for Sandy’s loving care of my little dog. She’s a very wonderful and kind person.”

“I was very nervous leaving my dog for the first time in a new place. Brittany and Matt were great with Ghost, he can be a handful with his anxiety and they were patient and understanding. They sent updates and videos of him playing with their dog King. We will definitely use them in the future if we need a sitter.”


About: Experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, I provide reliable, loving care, handle special needs, and keep pets comfortable while keeping owners updated and reassured. My contract job just ended so I have a lot of time available to care for your pups and kitties. I love getting out and walking. When I visit a clients home, I care for their pets like my own making sure they have a good walk if they're a dog freshwater and food and snuggles. With kitties I will happily utilize the enrichment toys you have.
About: Hello! I’m Brooke! I absolutely love dogs (& all animals really)! I have my own dog, Puck, who I love to take to the lake, on walks and cuddle with. I have been dog sitting for 10 years and I love it. I currently do travel healthcare and I’m looking for a job on the side with my boyfriend’s help too. I can do walks, home visits, overnight sitting in your home and anything else you’d need for your furry friend. I can work with you and your schedule to try to find the perfect time to help out you and your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions to see if I’m a good fit! I work full time during the week but am free most weekends. My boyfriend also helps out and is an early bird who can do drop ins before 7am and after 5 pm. I have a patio that the dogs can sun bath on and a huge h fenced yard to let the pups run around to get some energy out.
“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!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience working in two professional boarding facilities where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. During that time, I was responsible for feeding routines, exercise schedules, cleaning and sanitization, and giving pups the affection and enrichment they need to feel comfortable away from home. I’m trained in safely administering medications, monitoring behavior, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a laid back cuddler, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and cared for during every walk or check-in! Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine! I have dedicated daily time blocks specifically for dog walks and check-ins so I can consistently provide reliable care for every pet parent I work with. Fresh air and staying active are already part of my lifestyle, so bringing pups along for exercise and outdoor enrichment makes it even better. I prioritize clear communication and punctual visits, and I’m always happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is having a great day:) Your pup’s needs will always come first! From potty breaks and playtime to gentle companionship while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every visit. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they always feel secure while in my care. During check-ins, I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household rules exactly as you outline them. For walks, I use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe areas or unknown dogs, and closely monitor your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. With reliable communication and detailed updates after every visit, you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in responsible hands.
About: I work from home, so your pup gets constant care and company. I have experience with both playful puppies and gentle senior dogs, tailoring my care to their needs. Plus, our friendly dog makes every guest feel right at home! I’m able to give pets attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. Morning and evening walks, yard play sessions, and plenty of snuggles are built right into my routine—so your pet will feel loved and cared for every moment they’re here. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard for outdoor time and plenty of supervised play. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and rest to help them feel at home. They get lots of attention, exercise, and snuggles—plus playtime with our friendly dog if they’re social. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and stick to the same schedule, rules, and routines their pet is used to. My goal is always to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville
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!

There are 221 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Jacksonville. About 85% of Jacksonville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
