About: I enjoy dogs and will care for them like family. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs in my life since I was a kid. I enjoy playing with them, watching and walking your dogs. My schedule is flexible and I am able to work around your needs for pet care in your home. Look forward to hearing from you. I have a fenced yard at home and always walk dogs on leashes. I can use your pet stroller if you would like me to take them on walks. I double check for safety in and out of doors and make sure there is nothing that they can get into before I leave your home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13. Family friends have always relied on me for help. They trust me more than anything else. Hi! I’m a dependable, caring, and patient animal lover who treats every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll provide plenty of attention and care. I’m reliable, communicate well, and I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them the love and care they deserve! I have 2 family golden-doodles who have taught me huge amounts about dogs! My family adopted them when they were puppies and have been adored since.
About: I have have multiple years of caring for people's pets. I was a professional housekeeper with my own business for over 20 years and also cared for their animals when they were away. I have been a long time pet owner myself and recently my fur babies passed away. I am looking to earn a little extra income as a senior while enjoying the company of animals. I am a senior and I am retired. Recently my fur babies passed away and I am looking to supplement my income while caring for people's pets. I really miss having animals in my home. I live in a senior mobile home park and I have a fenced in yard. I make sure that animals are safe, fed watered, walked and get plenty of potty breaks. They will get lots of love. I keep the yard clear of poop so that their environment is healthy for them.
“Kelsey was an excellent pet sitter! Our kitties were happy, everything was super tidy, and we received daily pictures. We were easily able to relax while away, knowing Kelsey was taking good care of our cats. We will definitely book her in the future!”

“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: Hello! Thank you for taking the time to consider me as a potential pet sitter for you and your fur babies. I’ve been pet sitting around the Rogue Valley for over six years, and some families have trusted me with their pets for nearly ten. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, including pets with medications and more detailed routines. I’m dependable, easygoing, and respectful of both your pets and your home. I follow instructions closely, send plenty of pictures and updates, and do my best to keep everything feeling normal and comfortable while you’re away. I’m excited to meet new clients for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! 🐾 My schedule is currently pretty flexible, especially for daytime drop-ins, dog walks, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. I’m opening my profile back up to new clients, so feel free to reach out with your dates and your pet’s routine. I’m usually able to work something out. I know every pet reacts differently when their person is away, so I bring a calm, patient energy and let them settle in at their own pace. I follow your instructions closely when it comes to meals, walks, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know how everything is going while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for animals for years and treat every pet like my own. I have two friendly dogs and a cat, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I will stick to your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and always send updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. I work 8-5 Monday through Friday. I am available for pet sitting overnight Wednesday through Sunday. I’d be happy to do mid day drop in if needed. I get a long lunch and I could check in any time. I’d also be available for walks in the evening, weekend mornings and evenings as well. For drop-ins or care in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, and lots of attention. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Grew up w/ small dogs and cats! All have been my favorite.😫 From bottle feeding week-old kittens to park-day trips, administering medication and probiotics. Baths for the pups are no problem, too! I am free twice a day at minimum for daily drops ins with optional extended bonding and play time, as well as weekend house sitting where your fur baby will be attended to for the remainder of the night! 🐾🐈🫶🏼 I use a baby gate as a “keep-out” tool if needed to be utilized in a specific area of your home. A provided crate for dogs that are destructive when left alone or in general would be appreciated!

About: Hi there! I am an 18-year-old dedicated to full-time pet care across Jackson County. I treat pet sitting as a real business, which means my clients get complete reliability and absolute professionalism. I have flexible availability 7 days a week. Your pets will never be left alone for hours on end; they will have my undivided attention, companionship, and care. Having grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, I am highly experienced in maintaining strict feeding schedules, tracking bathroom routines, and providing proper exercise. I specialize in overnight house sitting, keeping your pets stress-free in their normal home environment while you travel. Expect daily photo updates, excellent communication, and total peace of mind! I have completely open, 24/7 availability every single day of the week, Monday through Sunday. My primary operational windows are perfectly set up for busy schedules: from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM (ideal for mid-day dog walks and lunchtime potty breaks while you are at work) and from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM (perfect for evening drop-ins, dinner feedings, and locking into overnight house sittings). Because pet care is my full-time focus, I am highly flexible, accommodate last-minute bookings easily, and will always be there exactly when your pet needs me. Your pet’s safety and the security of your home are my absolute highest priorities. Because I specialize in care directly inside your house, I treat your property with the utmost respect, discretion, and care.During overnight house sittings or drop-ins, I follow a strict safety protocol: I double-check that all doors and windows are locked, keep your home exactly as clean as I found it, and ensure your pet stays strictly on their familiar routine to prevent any anxiety.When we are out on walks, your dog will always be securely leashed, and I stay 100% focused on their surroundings, avoiding interactions with unknown animals to keep them completely safe. I am fully backed by Rover’s background check and premium insurance, and I provide continuous photo and text updates so you never have to worry about what is happening at home.

About: I have 3 cats, but I care deeply about all animals. My life’s calling is to care for animals which is why I finally decided to proceed with vet tech schooling. My whole life I have taken care of dogs and cats and have loved every moment of it. Caring for my pets is the best and most satisfying part of my day. After working with tech in Geek Squad for 2 and a half years, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to do in life. I always knew my calling was to care for animals which is why I am in the process of starting vet tech schooling and looking for a job outside of tech working as a vet assistant. I promise to always provide the best care you could ask for when caring for your pets. If your animals need to come to my house I do have a big fenced in yard that they can play in and I welcome all animals in all rooms of my house and they are allowed to be on furniture. Because of how much I care for animals you will never have to worry about your pet being left alone or missing a meal.

About: I grew up with 3 dogs and a pig. I love all animals. Pigs are my favorite. Hopefully my boyfriend and I are getting a puppy soon. As a full time dog walker/pet sitter I have availability most days. Just give me a heads up and I’ll be playing with your pups in no time :) Unfortunately I can’t board at my apartment. I can however stay overnight at your residence or do frequent check ins depending on your preference.
“This was our first time leaving the dogs with someone we didn't know and we felt absolutely comfortable and she took such good care of them we started with a drop in visit for a day and when we got home they were happy 😊”

“Louis was very professional and incredibly easy to work with. Our cats and tortoise were well cared for. Louis communicated clearly with us while we were gone, and even caught an error I made in the booking times. He obviously has an eye for detail and cares about the pets he watches. Thank you, Louis! We will definitely reach out again to book in the future!”

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.
