Amanda has been wonderful! She always arrives on time and sends great pictures of the dogs on their walk. She goes the extra mile and plays with them and gives them some extra love before leaving.

Jackson was great at getting back to me for a last minute request. It was a hot day and I told him my lab would rather play in the pool versus go for a walk and he did not hesitate to indulge her. He was incredibly communicative with pictures and she was thoroughly exhausted for the rest of the day! I would definitely recommend him.

Ruth did an incredible job, she watched our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks and she gave us peace of mind the entire trip! She sent lots of pictures for each visit, and really spent her time hanging out with our cats☺️ She took care of everything we asked and was so communicative the entire time. Would highly recommend to watch your fur babies!

About: I was born and raised alongside furry friends so I am an animal lover by nature. I have 4 cats and a dog of my own which I love as my family. In my free time, I enjoy giving back to animals any way I can. I work at my main job during the evening between 4 PM and 9 PM which allows me to spend the majority of the day with your animals. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own, like family. I love spending time with animals and enjoy caretaking as a whole. I always respect my client’s homes and their pets needs.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet owner for over 30 years. My family always had cats and dogs when I was growing up and now I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. Aside from that I was always the go to dog sitter for my family and friends during high school and college. I am reliable, and respectful of not just the animals, but of people’s homes and routines as well. I will always put your pet’s needs first! Having 3 pets of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your animals. Whether you need someone for a short stay, long stay, or a quick drop in visit for playtime and a walk, I love making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I always make sure to follow instructions, give plenty of attention, and keep owners updated so you can have peace of mind while you're gone. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you know your pet is doing great. I’m comfortable caring for different types of dogs and personalities, whether they’re energetic and love to play or more relaxed and just want some company. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels loved and cared for just like they would at home. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and help make your time away stress-free! First time booking with Rover? Use this promo code for 20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/lorrainey I have a flexible work from home schedule that gives me plenty of time to interact with your pets and give them the proper food and bathroom breaks they need. Pets will have free roam of the house including the fully fenced in back yard. Dogs and cats are allowed on furniture. I have a 4 year old beagle mix who is friendly with other dogs and cats. I also have 2 cats who get along with dogs and other cats. If your pet prefers to be alone, I have plenty of room in the house to give them their own space away from my pets, if needed.

About: Hi there! My name is Amber. I’ve been dog and cat sitting for some time now for several families, and the number keeps growing. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I have a seven yo Golden Retriever named Astro! If you ever get the chance to meet him, you’ll understand why people trust me with their fur babies—he’s pure joy, happiness, and love. There’s nothing particularly special about my pet care experience or skills—I just genuinely love taking care of animals. I promise to care for your pets the same way you would. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to dedicate ample time throughout the day to feeding, walking, and playing with pets, as well as handling any special needs. Once the school year begins, I am available as early as 2:30 PM on weekdays, which still allows plenty of time in the afternoon and evening for pet care responsibilities. I’m also available on weekends. I’m organized, reliable, and accustomed to balancing a structured workday with other responsibilities, so I ensure that pet care remains a priority year-round. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will keep them on a leash at all times for safety during walks or visits. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment, sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I always follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise, medication, or behavior management to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.

About: With years of hands-on experience, I confidently manage everything from senior dogs requiring precise medication schedules and gentle mobility adjustments to high-energy pups needing vigorous exercise and playful stimulation. I adapt seamlessly to your pet's specific routine, offering structured, attentive care that keeps aging companions comfortable and younger dogs happily exhausted. Your fur baby's safety, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have a full time position so through the week I am unavailable between 9am - 5pm. That said my full time job is unconventional in the sense I could go in later or leave earlier if needed! I am fully available Saturday and Sunday. Whether I am welcoming a pet into my own space or staying at a client's home, safety, open communication, and absolute respect for the environment are my top priorities. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) I treat your home with the utmost respect, treating it exactly as I would want my own to be treated. When providing overnight house sitting, I follow a strict "leave no trace" policy. Before you return, I will always: Wash the used sheets and towels. Deep clean the kitchen and ensure all dishes are put away. Take out the trash so you return to a fresh, welcoming space. Your pet’s physical and mental well-being is the core of my service. I don't just "watch" pets; I engage them. My care routine includes: Enriching Walks: I love taking dogs on structured, mentally stimulating walks where they can safely explore and sniff, which helps burn off mental anxiety and physical energy. Consistency: I strictly maintain any training commands, dietary schedules, and house rules you have in place to ensure your pet feels secure and routine-bound while you are away. Quality Playtime: For both dogs and cats, I dedicate focused time to interactive play (like puzzle toys, wand toys, or fetch) to keep them happy and engaged.

About: Hi, I’m Grace! I moved to Jax Beach within the last year and love it here so far. I work remotely with a flexible schedule and would love to find some local pups to walk and pet sit for! My love for dogs began when I was 9 and my family got a mini dachshund named Ernie. I don’t have a dog of my own but have fostered several dogs ranging from 8 week old puppies to senior dogs. I work remotely Monday-Friday and will have plenty of time to play with your pups and take them outside. I am very active and love going on walks and spending time outside. I spend most the week nights at home on the couch cuddled up. Walking: I will make sure to learn your pups routine and any household preferences to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy with me. Boarding: Your pup can sleep in my room with me either in their crate or in my bed. They are welcome to hang out on the couch or wherever they please. I have a roommate that also loves dogs!

About: I LOVE animals and have 2 golden retrievers of my own that I treat like my children. Growing up, we had animals of all kinds in our house as my step-mom works in animal welfare. We were constantly fostering (and usually becoming foster failures) dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Before I got my first full-time job, I was also walking dogs and taking care of cats for families in my neighborhood. I can help with anything from walking, to feeding, giving medication and giving your pets love and affection. Being a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to get amazing care for your babies. I always expect my dog sitters to keep me updated with photos and messages, so I will do just the same! I live in Neptune Beach and work from home from 9am-5pm, so you can expect routine potty breaks and feeding under my care. I assure you I will love and treat your pet like my own , and help with any other favors you need! I currently work fully from home, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets and make sure they have the potty breaks they need! I am very familiar with crate training, and am happy to accommodate that need! I also have a dog that is known for getting into things, so I am always hyper aware that everything is put away and out of reach from any pets. If your pet sleeps in bed with you, even better! I'm happy to accommodate to make your pet feel right at home with me.

About: I've loved animals ever since I was a child. My experience started with a senior Shih Tzu that I rescued from a family friend who constantly traveled. He suffered from multiple allergies and joint issues. Took care of him until he was a senior and could no longer move on his own. Experienced in handling bigger dogs who are not very socialized and have difficulties being walked. I try to stay active, so I do a lot of cardio by walking long distances and take advantage and take the dogs then. Flexible on walking times! I now own a 3-year-old CavaPoo. Got him when he was a 12-week-old pup. Potty trained him and taught him basic commands, lives with me full time, he is the light of my life! I treat other people's pets as if they are family. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a play session, or overnight care, I provide a safe, loving environment where they will feel right at home. With flexible scheduling and personalized care, I'm here to make sure your pets are happy and taken care of while you are away. I work a regular 8-4 Monday- Friday and full availability on the weekends. I live close to work, I walk my dog during my lunch breaks! Fully available during bank holidays. Each pet has their own preferences, so I make sure to adapt activities to suit their needs—whether it’s a more relaxed, cuddly day or a high-energy playtime. I take extra care to respect the pet’s home and their environment. I follow any specific instructions the client provides, such as pet diets, medication schedules, and preferred activities.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs. I grew up with my family dog, Beethoven, and enjoyed everything from daily walks and trips to the beach to teaching him basic commands like sit and fetch. I love spending quality time with dogs, whether that’s going on long walks, playing outside, or relaxing on the couch. Every dog has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know each one while making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently a new graduate nursing student studying for my NCLEX while working part-time as a Patient Care Technician at Mayo Clinic. My schedule is flexible, especially on my days off, and I update my availability regularly. I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications they may need. I have experience giving medications to both dogs and cats under their owner’s instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away.

About: We both have had dogs our entire life and love them. We are newly retired and very active. We have a 5 yr old Lab that loves dogs and decided this would be a great way to have another dog “part time”. We have the time to take them on walks, runs and play with them. We are right by the beach so that is our favorite place to walk. We will love on them while you are away. We can follow your pups schedule, exercise as much or as little as you would like. Cuddles and couch time are also favorites with us. We will keep you updated on their stay with photos and texts. Your pup will be loved and cared for while you are away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Jacksonville Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Jacksonville Beach on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,557 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Jacksonville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville Beach. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
