“What's great is coming home from a trip and finding two happy cats...Happy because you're home, and happy because they were well cared for. On this particular trip, the body language in visit photos (from the start) showed what looked like a normal day at home. Both cats like crazy wild play, but they also like just hanging out with a human, sitting at the top of the stairs. On this trip Lisa texted me after a morning visit where she saw that a neighbors cat had an injury. I gave her all the details on the cat and his siblings, and on the evening visit she called on them to make sure the cat was O.K. He'd been to the vet's and was taken care of. Lisa now has a non-professional cat friend.”

About: I recently had two rescue heeler mixes. We competed in agility, and did herding, barn hunt, and parkour. I loved to hike, walk, run, and be active with my dogs. Now that they're gone, I have an open space in my heart for time with yours. I walk and run or hike several days out of the week. I'd love to bring your well-behaved dog along for their enjoyment and my company! Because I live up a steep gravel driveway, I prefer to meet in town or at your place to take your dog for a walk or run. But if they need to come to my place for sitting, I have a fenced yard with some agility equipment. I also have a dog door, to let them have free access to my .5 acre fenced yard. I do have a cat, so if your dog comes to my place, it will have to get along with her.
“Andrea took great care of my cats while I was away over night. She was very professional and clearly cares about animals and making sure that their people feel comfortable and reassured. She kept me updated, and I wasn’t worried for a moment while I was gone.”
About: I've been an animal lover since birth. I've had a variety of pets growing up and am open minded and caring towards all animals. I've had dogs, cats, bird, fish, lizards, snakes, and hamsters. I've worked at an animal hospital as well as taken animal science classes in college. I've also volunteered at a zoo. I have a lot of experience under my belt and I'd take care of your pet, your way. I am currently a stay at home parent looking for part time work to fill my day while my kiddos are in school. I am able to care for your pets as needed with my flexible schedule. I have a fenced yard. I also have a dedicated dog run area that is also separately fenced. I have two Australian Shepherds to keep your pup company or I can keep them all separate. I also have the space to crate train if needed.
“Emma was the bright candle on my Thanksgiving and birthday week! I became suddenly ill and had to find help fast! Emma was available and worked with me at the last minute to secure care for my 4 cats while I recovered. She is very sweet with my kitties as they are very shy. Great job Emma!”

“Gabby is amazing! My kitties can be timid, but they warmed up to her immediately, even during the Meet & Greet! She took such good care of our home and cats while we were gone. I highly recommend her services! I will absolutely be using her again in the future 😊 Thanks Gabby!”

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.
“Tiffany was great! I’m so glad our dogs were able to stay in their comfortable environment and have someone care for them while we were away. One of our three dogs is not easy to work with and she handled him very well! Definitely recommend!”

“Kelsey is friendly and flexible. She made a connection easily with our skittish kitty too. Always follows the instructions through and is quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’ve owned and cared for animals of all types ranging from reptiles to large livestock. I have experience training puppies as well as working on smaller things like simple manners and attentiveness. I’ve have past job history working at a vet based boarding facility and am comfortable and knowledgeable on give meds and handling dogs when away from their people. I am available 7 days a week! M-Th I work 7AM-6PM but after and before I am available for your pets! Occasionally, potty breaks can be worked into my work schedule if needed and able. I treat all clients animals as if they were my own. They are cared for very well while clients are gone away from the home. Lots of love, play time, and just hanging out. If wanted by clients, dogs are regularly walked and exercised (I’m a hiker so am happy to take them to do outdoor hikes as well) along with regular care as if their parents never even left. I try to keep a relatively realistic schedule and life for animals while parents are gone so that they don’t have much stress when parents are away.
“Kara was amazing! She took the time to come over first and meet the pups and ask all the detailed questions (ie food times, what happens if they run out of food, potty breaks, etc). She was understanding when I mentioned our little pup tends to have some accidents when we’re gone. She sent 15+ pictures daily and was very communicative. Our two pups ended up having a tiff one day and she called me immediately after to let me know what had happened and that both dogs are okay. She then kept me posted on their behavior and made it a point to play with them separately to hopefully reduce the risk of them acting out again. She documented every single food, water break, and potty break they each had. It was so comforting knowing Kara was taking such good care of our pups while we were out of town across the country. I highly highly recommend Kara and will be booking with her again!”

About: People have asked me to care for their pets since I was just young. Mostly because I care and connect so easily with animals. But also because I live such a free lifestyle and available to do so. My goal is to be flexible and accommodate your pets every day schedule to alleviate anxiety and stress while you are gone, for them and for you! I should start taking more selfie's with the animals I care for ;-). My photo gallery shows some of the pets I have babysat over the years. I am happy to take on pets with special needs (i.e. medications, disabilities, meal accommodations, etc.). This winter I am able to be flexible and cater to the needs of what your pets schedule looks like. In my experience, it is much better to accommodate the schedule they currently have instead of trying to fit mine. My residence is currently not pet friendly, but I am happy to care for them at yours! In my experience, pets tend to do better in the environment they are familiar with. It keeps them at ease and relaxed while you are away.

About: If there's one thing you should know about us, it's that we absolutely LOVE dogs! My husband and I have had dogs in our lives for as long as we can remember, and our home has always been filled with wagging tails, puppy kisses, and lots of love! Now that our kids are grown and out of the house, we're enjoying a little more freedom to travel and have decided to take a little break from having dogs of our own. But we sure do miss having them around! That's what made us think Rover would be such a perfect fit! We get to enjoy having dogs in our home again while giving your pups a fun, loving place to stay while you're away. And trust us, there's no shortage of love and attention around here! ❤️ As longtime dog parents, we know firsthand how hard it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, happy, and being loved and cared for just like one of our own. Here's what your pup can look forward to at our house! 🐶 🏡 A cozy, clean, dog-friendly home where they'll be treated like family. 🌳 A fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore, play, or just enjoy some sunshine. 🛋️ Couch cuddles are always welcome! Dogs are part of the family around here, and they're more than welcome to curl up on the furniture with us. ❤️ Lots of love and attention! Belly rubs, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of affection. 💊 Experienced and attentive care. We're comfortable giving medications and caring for pups who may need a little extra TLC. 📸 Pictures and updates! We know how much you'll miss your pup, so we're happy to keep you updated on all the fun they're having. Every dog has their own personality, and that's part of what makes them so special! Whether your pup loves to run and play, follow us around the house, or spend the afternoon curled up on the couch, we want them to feel completely comfortable and right at home. Our goal is simple: We want your dog to love staying with us just as much as we'll love having them! We may not be ready for another dog of our own just yet, but we have so much love to give in the meantime. We'd be thrilled to welcome your furry family member into our home, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel loved while you're away. We can't wait to meet your pup, spoil them a little (okay, probably a lot!), and become their favorite home away from home! 🐾❤️ When your pup is staying with us, they’ll rarely be alone! We love having them around and they’ll typically be right alongside us throughout the day. If your pup enjoys going “bye-bye,” and with your permission, we’re happy to bring them along when we can. My office is also dog-friendly, so they can come to work with me and keep me company if the owner allows. For walks and drop-in visits, my schedule is very flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet’s routine and what works best for you. We know how much your pup means to you and how hard it can be to leave them in someone else’s care. We want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re not only being cared for, but genuinely loved while you’re away. Our hope is that they’re excited to come stay with us — and you can leave knowing they’re in a home where they’ll be treated like part of the family. ❤️🐾 We want your pup to feel safe, comfortable and completely at home while they’re with us. ❤️ We have a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore, play and enjoy some fresh air. We’re very active people, so with your approval, we’re always happy to take your pup along for walks, trips to the park, or other little adventures. Of course, we’ll always follow your normal routine and any instructions you provide because we know every dog is different! Most importantly, we know how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. We love sending photos and videos throughout their stay so you can see what they’re up to, how they’re settling in, and most importantly, that they’re happy and having fun. 🐾 Whether we’re caring for your pup in our home or yours, we’ll treat them, your home, and their routine with the same care and respect we would want for our own. Our goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pup is safe, loved, and getting plenty of attention and snuggles!
“Exceeded my expectations in every way. Sarah truly Loves and understands dogs, including puppies. Her effervescent nature and positive outlook have made her a joyful addition to our family. We love her. Trust is hard to find.”

About: I am energetic and free spirited, I enjoy traveling and making new friends, human and pet, along the way. I’ve always had animals through out life, until covid. Now it’s loving on the fur buds of others. I offer car rides, natural trail trips, short walks, long walks, fetch, cuddles, therapeutic massage, not to forget lots and lots of love as well as extended stay and house sitting. I frequently travel between New Smyrna Beach and Clermont. I am open to caring for any and all pet with a wide range of needs. I have an open mind and forever expanding perspective of life and put a great amount of passion for the things I put my energy into! I am available in the Talent/Ashland area Friday afternoon until Monday night and around White City Tuesday-Thursday. I am open to overnight in home sits. I am not offering in home sitting at this time. This could potentially change in the future or depending on if something is feeling aligned.
About: Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, or Basic Training I can help you with your furry family member. I always get anxious when I have to leave my dog when I have to go on a trip, so I understand how important this is for you and your family. Let me know what your needs are and we can work out a schedule that works for both of us. My schedule is fairly flexible. We have a large fenced property that allows for lot's of room to run and exercise. It is mostly farmland and is completely fenced and safe. We fenced off 1.5 acres specifically for dog play.
“My pup seemed so happy when I returned home. It is a wonderful thing to have someone you can trust to check in on your beloved pet while you're away. Knowing they're comfortable and taken care of means the world! Thanks Andrea!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jacksonville is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 322 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jacksonville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
