“Beyond amazing pet sitter. Truly exceptional! Tannia treats pets as if they are her own family, with genuine love, patience, and attention. I normally worry a little when leaving my fur baby with someone new, but not once this time around. From the moment he arrived, I felt complete peace of mind. Tannia and her spouse are absolutely A+. Every single day, I received thoughtful updates, photos, and a full report on how he was doing, which made the experience even better. Their home felt safe, welcoming, and full of care. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter; dependable, compassionate, and truly invested in your pet’s well‑being. Highly recommended.”
“This was the longest I’ve left Dublin with a sitter and I was very anxious about it. However, as always he had a wonderful time at JoAnn’s and made himself right at home. I got updates of which new dogs were coming and going and how he was playing, interacting with them all. Dublin is well loved there and always comes home completely worn out. He was a happy boy when I got home! Thank you as always, JoAnn!”
“Patty, was more than wonderful with our Sashi. We went away for a week and left Sashi with Patty. We were a little nervous because we never done it before but we did the right decision with Patty. She kept us updated with text and video and we can see how happy Sashi was. Patty treat her as she was hers. Patty is amazing, I will recommend Patty to anyone who want there baby to be treat like they were at home. Sashi will be continue visit Patty??❤️”
“I must say Candace & her husband were amazing with my Kilo, from the updates, the pictures, I was more worried then he was, He did amazing in their care... I trust them and I know Kilo would love to see them again!! If you need someone to watch your baby, They are the right ones!! ❤️”
“I could have not asked for a better dog sitter!! Everything about Wendy was great! I booked with less than 8 hours of notice and she was very accommodating. She accommodated to my dogs preferred walking schedule and showered him with love and treats. She also kept me updated everyday with his status and loads of photos. I would highly recommend her and would use her again anytime I am out of town. I feel very comfortable with her watching my little baby.”
“Christa was so great with our dog. She met him in advance and learned all about him. Knowing that we were nervous leaving our dog with a sitter, she kept us update and kept him busy with lots of walks, playtime and fun. He came home super happy and looked great from lots of brushing. We'll definitely be booking with Christa if we need a sitter again.”
“Communication was excellent before and during the stay. They pampered Kala and made her feel love and safe as in home. Plus she went out with 2 big hugs from the kiddos. Thanks!!”
“Briana was so awesome - great communication and reached out to double check any questions on our dog. She sent photos and clearly had a great time with our dog!”
About: We have had 2 Bluetick Coonhounds (Rosie is our now fur baby) I work from home and think she would love to have a friend over! We have a fenced in yard and a pool. Daysitting available for playdates! I work from home and if I do leave it would only be for a bit to pick up kids, go to the store or run an errand. Have 2 kids, 11 and 13 that love animals! We are also open to daysitting your pup! Costs would be $20 an hour:) We have a fenced in yard and pool. Pets can be crated if needed. Rosie would love to have a friend to play with and go on walks. Daysitting available!
“Heather is phenomenal. She is a wonderful person who cares deeply for dogs. Her Catahoula Paisley got along great with my Catahoula Teddy and I've already rebooked. Thank you Heather and Paisley!”
About: I’ve always been the person who gets way too excited when there’s a dog at the party. 😂 I truly love animals and know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite things. Whether your pet wants to go on an adventure, play all day, or spend the afternoon cuddled up on the couch, I’m happy to match their energy. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and treat your pet like part of the family—with plenty of pictures along the way, of course! 🐾 My schedule is pretty flexible, which gives me plenty of time to make pet care a priority! I’m able to work walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of attention into my day without your pet ever feeling rushed. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, because I know consistency is important—especially when their favorite human is away Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I do my best to stick to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave for me. I’m big on giving each pet the attention they need—whether they’re a cuddle bug, full of energy, or just like having someone nearby. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m also very respectful of their space and always make sure everything is left just as I found it (or better!). And of course, expect lots of pictures and updates
“Laurie is a fantastic sitter! She followed all our directions and took perfect care of our puppy, Apollo! She sent photo updates often and communicated with us often. She was also flexible, which we appreciated! We definitely will be booking with her again!”
“We are very happy to have found Nancy! She took great care of our senior dog and was always very responsive and sent great pictures during the stay. Our dog seemed very happy and well taken care of while with Nancy. We will absolutely be booking with her again! :)”
“Suilen, kept my over-energic lab for the first time for 10 days. As you can imagine I was nervous with leaving her with someone new for so long. I met with Suilen prior to the stay and she learned everything my doggie needed. I was so happy with her regular communications, pictures, outings with the doggie everything. I would likely recommend her for animal care. Suilen thank you , you allowed me to enjoy vacation!”
“Hannah is so patient and kind. She made sure Ellie was happy and healthy during her stay, went above and beyond in her care, and was very communicative with me. I highly recommend her for any pup, especially if you need special accommodations for medical or behavioral issues.”
“Taqueria took excellent care of my dog, Alec, over the 4th of July weekend. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with Alec again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
About: I’ve been around many kinds of animals my whole life, including dogs, turtles, rabbits, fish, and guinea pigs. My childhood dog, Zoey, was an older German Shepherd who really shaped my understanding of and love for animals. I grew up in a very animal-loving family where caring for pets was seen as an important part of building responsibility and character. I’m very comfortable with big dogs and used to handling high-energy personalities. Now as an adult, I have my own dog, Aries, a sweet and playful 3-year-old Pitbull Lab mix, who I’ve had since she was a puppy. Being a dog owner myself helps me understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet. I’ve personally used Rover and had great experiences, and I’m excited to provide that same level of care, communication, and reliability to others. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, or just cuddling and keeping them company. I’m currently studying biology and hope to work in the veterinary field one day, so caring for animals truly means a lot to me. I am currently just a student, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I'm home the majority of the time, except for my saturday classes and I'm available any day of the week! If I'm never not home either my sister or father will step in. My home has a big open first floor where dogs are free to hang out and make themselves comfortable. They’re also welcome to sleep in my bedroom if they like being close at night. I don’t allow pets on the couch, but they’ll always have their own comfy spots to relax. I do have a yard, and while it isn’t fenced, I use a secure leash setup so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time with supervision. I also use my open garage as a great shaded space for my dog to relax for 2-3 hours a day. I supervise our Ring Cameras frequently. Fresh water and a comfortable resting area are always provided.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Jacksonville Beach is $40

Presley took such wonderful care of Gwennie while I was out of town! She sent pictures every day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and gave Gwennie lots of love and attention. It made being away so much easier knowing she was in such caring hands. I’m so grateful to Presley and would happily book with her again!
Our Boy, Clay, a young Vizsla. Spent 17 days at Barbara’s. We were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home, he was having such a great time! He is a very good but high-needs pup and I believe he received the love and attention we wanted for him. We would highly recommend Barbara and hope she’ll be available to watch Clay again sometime.
Lauren and her pup Brew were excellent hosts for our high energy dog Luna! The two dogs got along like best friends and Lauren was professional, communicative and clearly cared about our dog and worked to get her (high!) energy out. We would absolutely recommend Lauren and would certainly book with her again.
My little boy came back clean and soft with these adorable Polaroids pics of his 9 days away! Each day I had pictures and a little note of what they were doing for the day. This brought me so much peace while I was away. The true test of any dog is if they will go on a starvation strike the first few days. Morkie felt so comfortable with her that he ate more food than when he stayed with my sister! They even let him sleep on their bed with him. He was so loved! Thank you Rebecca for keeping his routine and making him feel like we were never gone!
Nancy took great care of Sasha during her stay. She was very responsive whenever I had questions and easy to communicate with throughout the entire booking, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Sasha came home happy and relaxed, which is always the best indication that she was comfortable and well cared for. I appreciated Nancy's updates during the stay and would feel comfortable leaving Sasha with her again in the future. Thank you, Nancy, for taking such good care of my sweet girl!
Susan was great to work with and made everything really easy from the start. Gwennie settled in right away, which is not something she does everywhere, so that meant a lot to me. It felt like she was genuinely cared for and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the attention and flexibility Susan showed throughout. I’d love for Gwennie to stay with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Jacksonville Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jacksonville Beach 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 Beach.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville Beach. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Jacksonville Beach 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 FL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
