“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: 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.
“Thought that Marissa was absolutely fantastic when it came to caring for our cat! She was very thorough, always provided the daily photos, and felt like she went above and beyond the service that we had requested from her! Would highly recommend her and will use her again!”
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.
“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!”
“Sarah G. is very good with our cat Max. He needed insulin shots twice a day and she delivered professionally and right on time. We are so happy with her services. She made our vacation much more enjoyable know we could trust her with Max. Thank you Sarah.”
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: 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 very 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: 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.

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 .
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 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.
