About: Discounts for Repeating Bookings - Price Situational/Negotiable I have been caring for and training pets & farm animals alike since I was 8 years old. Friends & family have always relied on me to keep there pets safe in social settings, watch over & care for them over vacations, and as a sitter/walker recommendation for extended friends. I spent a summer as a Dog-Walker for Canine Learning Academy (Long Beach). Now after spending some time away from Rover, I'm ready to jump back in and get my paws dirty! AVAILABILITY — EVERYDAY: (unless specified in my calendar) HOUSE SITTING available ALL DAY ALL OTHER SERVICES 6a-9p Feel free to contact for scheduling. Additional discounts for regular repeating dog-walking/visits are available, feel free to inquire. Animals are our friends, our partners, members of our family. So when I care for my clients I not only ensure regular feeding schedules and potty breaks are timed and met; but I keep in mind that they need that familial connection, and, until they are back with their family, I am the closest thing to that. I take that responsibility very seriously and cherish everything our pets have to teach us.
“Kristen did an amazing job caring for our cat twice a day for two weeks, including administering multiple medications! She was dependable and thoughtful. She reached out to us with any questions or concerns she had before and during our trip. She sent photos from every visit. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cat was safe with her. I would absolutely book her again in the future!”
About: Ever since I can remember Ive always been around dogs and cats and tons of other animals! I’ve grown up on farms and so I am so used to animals, it’s become my life! I have a ton of energy and love to give. I’ve watched tons of family members animals and always put them first! I can walk, exercise, feed and water the dogs if needed. I have volunteered at the humane society for a while so I learned a lot there too. With working full time and going to school my availability is mostly the weekends, BUT when I take time off of school that may change:) When I am at someone’s home and they are trusting me with their babies, I try to make sure to take the best steps to keep them safe. If they need a leash I can do that, if there are any safety issues told to me I will take them seriously. Safety #1 then FUN!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I love giving them the care and attention they need. Animals always brighten my day so it brings me great joy when I can return the favor. My schedule is wide open. I do other side gigs but I’m very flexible and can work around whatever time you or your pet needs me. My goal is for your home and your pets to look just like they did when you left. I will treat your home and your pets as if they were a friends/family members, which to me means respecting your privacy and giving your pet a warm, loving presence while you’re away.
About: I have lived/been around dogs and cats all my life. I currently watch my neighbors 4 dogs while they are out of town which is about every other weekend for work. Therefore, I am good with multiple dogs and the routines that come with them. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats and they are my babies! I treat my animals with love and respect and will do the same with yours! I work part-time hours at a retail store with only 12 hours a week most of the time. So I thought, ‘what better way to spend my free time than with furry friends?!’ I care for and watch my neighbors dogs as needed and I ensure their safety during playtime, meal time, and nap time! I will ensure they are leashed while outside on walks and in a fenced in backyard if applicable.

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 .

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 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.

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.
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.
