“Daniela was fantastic! She watched my two springer spaniels over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos of the pups having a great time with their new dog buddy Ranier. I couldn't have felt more confident that my dogs were being well cared for! Thank you Daniela! We'll definitely be back”

“Howard and Katheryn were real lifesavers in helping me feel comfortable dropping Hippo off on short notice. Their Spaniels were easy for him to get along with and I am so grateful for the care they gave him”

“Anika was very flexible and cared so well for Bruce. She sent several pictures every day and Bruce couldn't be happier. On the walk home he kept looking back for her or perhaps her dog Maisy! Anika is very welcoming and has a beautiful home with a yard for the doggies to play in! I would definitely think of Anika again next time I go out of town.”

“Serena was absolutely incredible with my dog Oliver! He was instantly happy to meet her and her family at the meet great and had a wonderful weekend getting spoiled with lots of cuddles and walks everyday! Will absolutely be booking with Serena in the future!”

“Absolutely amazing experience with Anyssah! She kept me informed at all time and assured me he was doing well as this was my first time leaving him with someone he didn’t know. She also accommodated to his needs and just made this stay so much easier for us to go through. I will absolutely book her again if needed. Thank you Anyssah!”

“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of our high energy pup Tucker! He came home happy and was tired which is unusual for him! We were happy to have her watching him for a weekend getaway and will use her services again in the future as needed.”

“Some people just have a way with dogs. Jordan takes that statement to a new level. I may be a little salty that my dog might grow to like him more than me with further visits. But there is no one I would rather entrust the happiness and well being of my furry best friend to. Thank you Jordan for being awesome!”

“Easy 5 stars. Abigail was awesome! Great to work with, great with my pup. I needed to pop up north for the weekend and am so thankful I found her. Ranger had a blast being watched. He was played with and cared for really well. I recommend Abigail to anyone in the area who needs a trustworthy dog sitter.”

“Hannah is a exelent with dogs, a very loving ❤️ family, I'm very happy with her, she sent pictures and videos of my dog while I was on vacation 😀 she took very good care of my dog 🐕.”

“Amy took great care of our dog Kona. She gave us daily updates with pictures and always answered our texts pretty quick. She is definitely a keeper and we won’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“Eliza has been absolutely wonderful with my dog. She has watched my dog multiple times and has had her over for playtime with her own dogs. Eliza genuinely loves animals, and my dog is always excited to see her. She is reliable, caring, and communicates well, which gives me complete peace of mind whenever my dog is with her. I always know my dog is getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection in a safe environment. I highly recommend Eliza to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. I’m so grateful to have found her!”

“Julianne & Ragen took great care of our pup! They exercised our high-energy buddy and made sure he had a good time. We even got a cute little doggy day camp report card when we picked him up. It warmed our hearts. Can't wait for his next visit with Julianne & Ragen.”
“They were great from start to finish. Quick to respond about my last minute request. Pleasant to work details out with. Jude seemed well cared for and happy when I picked her up. So happy this worked out last minute, they saved the day for me.”

“Juli took such great care of Bandit like he’s one of her own. We were also comforted knowing Bandit had access to a yard and an air conditioned space since it was especially hot that day. Juli kept us informed of how he was doing, which was also very reassuring. Would definitely have Bandit stay with Aunt Juli again. :)”

“Shari was absolutely wonderful with my elder dog, Charley. And he clearly had an affinity for her. Shari sent check-in pictures and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend. I will definitely call on Shari again for petsitting needs.”

About: My background in animal care extends well beyond traditional pet sitting. I completed extensive veterinary technology education while working full-time in a large, multi-department veterinary hospital, gaining years of hands-on experience with animals ranging from healthy puppies and routine-care patients to senior, hospitalized, post-op, and medically complex dogs. My subsequent transition into “human” healthcare has further strengthened the attention to detail and standard of care that I bring to every animal entrusted to me. My veterinary experience provided a comprehensive foundation in safe animal handling, canine behavior/temperament recognition, medication administration, medical-condition awareness, post-op care, and the identification of subtle changes that may indicate pain, anxiety, or physical distress. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior and overall presentation that may warrant closer observation or communication with a pet-parent. I am comfortable caring for dogs across all ages, sizes, and levels of need, including puppies, senior dogs, animals requiring additional behavioral consideration, and pets with established medical or mobility needs. My experience includes oral and injectable medication administration, incision and wound care, mobility assistance, post-operative monitoring, and incontinence-related care. Whether providing a walk, drop-in visit, extended sitting, or boarding, I approach pet care with the same principles that have guided my professional healthcare experience: attentive observation, appropriate precautions, consistency, clear communication, and respect for individualized care requirements. My goal is not simply to supervise a pet while an owner is away, but to provide knowledgeable, responsible care while maintaining the routine, safety, and level of attention each individual animal requires. I recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care and am currently preparing for my board examinations, which allows me a highly flexible schedule and the ability to be home much of the time. At present, I have considerable availability for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and other pet-care needs, and I am able to adjust my study schedule around confirmed bookings. Once I begin working in the hospital, my anticipated schedule will consist of three scheduled shifts per week, leaving the remaining four days largely open and predictable for pet care. I do not have children or other routinely changing obligations that would interfere with confirmed bookings. Any known limitations to my availability will always be communicated in advance, and with clear communication regarding your pet’s schedule and needs, I am currently able to accommodate a wide range of scheduling requests. Safety and attentive supervision are priorities in our home. Between my husband and me, our dogs are never left home without one of us present, and I maintain that same standard of supervision for pets entrusted to my care. I would not leave a pet unattended while I am responsible for their care. We have a fully fenced backyard and maintain a clean, organized, and uncluttered home and outdoor environment. With a five-month-old puppy of our own, our home is consistently kept pet-safe, with unsafe or inappropriate items secured and inaccessible. I am also careful and deliberate when managing interactions between animals and never assume unfamiliar dogs can simply be left together unsupervised. Introductions, outdoor access, feeding, and shared spaces are appropriately supervised, with the safety and comfort of each individual pet remaining the priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain the same standard of supervision, respect for their environment, and attention to safety.

Serena and her family were so sweet and helpful with caring for our fluff. I'm recommending she hook up with the local Inn we stayed at so that guests could have an option to leave their pets with Serena when they attend the Brit shows or perhaps go wine tasting during the day.

Serena was very easy to work with when we needed a quick 24H stay for our pup Eli. She was always prompt to respond prior to the boarding time and we got updates during his stay. She made us feel comfortable that our sweet boy would be well loved and cared for with her family. Would definitely use her again!

Patricia is an amazing sitter. I came from WA, drove to Medford, then had to board my dog Blue while I flew to Phoenix, AZ and drove back to Medford with my Dad. Many things went wrong on the trip, but not once did I have to worry about Blue at all. Patricia sent me pictures and updates to let me know he was doing okay, but even without those, I knew she would take good care of him. You could tell she loved animals and was responsible. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she brought me. Thank you again Patricia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Jacksonville on Rover is $44.4 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 108 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 OR 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.
