“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.”
“Aimee was consciousness and took great care of my kitty. She went above and beyond in tidying my home up before I returned from my trip. Highly recommend her.”
“Meg is amazing! So thoughtful and sends the best pictures and detailed description of her visit. My boys just love her and I don’t worry about a thing when they are in her care.”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals and loved every second of it. Being surrounded by dogs was such a special part of my childhood and helped shape my love for caring for them. Today, I have a 3 year old dachshund of my own who has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to know your baby is in safe and loving hands when you’re away. That’s why, on my days off, I enjoy providing that same peace of mind to other pet owners. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy incorporating pet care into my weekly routine. They bring a special kind of happiness and comfort, and I love having the opportunity to care for them when their owners need a helping hand. have a home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise throughout the day. Inside, pets are treated like part of the family and are welcome to relax, play, and roam comfortably in a safe, supervised environment. I understand that every dog is different, so I do my best to maintain the schedule and care they are accustomed to at home.
“Taylor was great. She took such great care of my pups and was very warm/loving to them (easily told by the pictures of them cuddled up on her lap during visits). She gave them extra attention during her drop ins and I will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve had and cared for dogs since I was young, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life! I have experience with all sizes, from little dogs like my Shih Tzu to big dogs like my Labrador. Over the years, my neighbors, family, and friends have trusted me to watch, walk, and care for their dogs whenever they need a helping hand. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule since I work from home most days. I’m available for walks and drop-ins from 5–7:30 AM before work, during my lunch break, and after 5 PM on weekdays. My weekends are completely open, so I’m happy to provide boarding, walks, drop-ins, or plenty of playtime and cuddles! I have a fenced in yard and no other pets at home. I am open to having the pets at my home or staying at the place they are most comfortable. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for!
“Daisy is AMAZING!! We knew immediately when she walked in that our animals felt safe around her. We have a very anxious corgi and she was so sweet and patient with her and our kitty loved her so much. Sent the cutest updates and was super punctual and professional. 100|10 will be booking with her again!!”
“Sharon was excellent with our 5 month old golden retriever!! She followed all instructions I provided, and I could tell how happy our puppy was to spend time with her! Highly recommend Sharon!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs in a variety of settings and genuinely love spending time with them. Growing up, my family had a dog that I regularly helped care for by taking her on walks, playing with her, feeding her, and making sure she got plenty of love and attention. I’ve also helped friends by dropping in to care for their dogs while they were at work, taking puppies on walks, playing with them, feeding them, providing fresh water, and even taking them to the park to get their energy out. In addition, I fostered a young puppy for about three weeks, where I was the primary caregiver. During that time, I was responsible for potty training, establishing a routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure the puppy felt safe and cared for as they adjusted to a new environment. Most recently, I’m caring for three dogs while their family is away for two weeks, providing dependable, attentive care and making sure they stay happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, and I always strive to provide patient, reliable care while treating every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone keep them company, I’d love to help! I’m currently going to fscj for school and working as a waitress only night shifts, so during the days I am free. I love dogs plus it’s exercise and a little extra cash for my rent lol! Since I won’t be house sitting I would only be stopping by to take you doggy for a walk around the near area your in!
About: Marco has taking care of his family dogs since he was 10yrs old. He has a lot of experience walking dogs, feeding them, and taking care of them. We live with a 3yrs old Corso mix, and we both take care of our her making sure she always gets her exercise and a lot of cuddles. During his/her stay, your pet will be treated as a member of our family. We enjoy doing activities with the dogs, especially going for walks around our neighborhood or to the beach. Marco works part time so he is pretty flexible during the week, and Eleonora works from home 2 days a week. We are around weekends, available for drop in or walks or pet sitting. We have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog that can play with your fur baby. We can also arrange dividing spaces as needed. If we found out about your dog having fleas/lices, we will charge for a bath ($50) and for special cleaning of the house for $250.
“Ashli was able accomodate a last minute request for a drop-in so we could go on a day trip. Her communication was great, and she sent lots of photos. Thanks again!”
“Olivia was amazing! I received so many pictures of my cats looking happy and loved, they absolutely were well taken care of. Even my shy one came out for Olivia, which means she was a calming and welcoming presence to my kitty. I felt at ease during her visits and was assured that my cats were being fed, had fresh water and were receiving tons of love! Thank you Olivia!!”
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: 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.
About: Hi, I’m Karah! I’m a therapist based in Jax Beach and a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I live with two cats and a senior dog, so I’m no stranger to managing routines, meds, or special needs. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and compassion — and that’s exactly how I approach pet care. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet time, or lots of belly rubs, I’ll tailor my care to match their personality and needs. As a therapist, I’m calm, reliable, and detail-oriented. You can count on me to communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. I have two cats and one older dog who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. She’s gentle, calm, and great with other animals. My home is pet-friendly and low-stress — perfect for senior dogs or pups who need a more chill vibe. I’ve also cared for pets with anxiety, mobility issues, and dietary needs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations. I understand how important it is to feel confident and at peace while you’re away from your pet. I’m very respectful of the routines you’ve already built — from specific feeding times to favorite walking routes. I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions, medications, or behavioral quirks. I always aim to keep you in the loop with daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Melanie was amazing ! It was our first time leaving our pup alone and she made us feel so at ease. She took the time to come meet him before and sent us pictures and update throughout her visit! So thankful for her help and care, definitely will be asking for her help again soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville Beach
Candice was punctual, attentive, and so kind to my dog and two cats. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout her visits, and based on what she shared, even my pets, who are usually pretty wary of strangers, warmed up to her and came up to her for pets. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for in her hands. We’ve already got her lined up for more visits!
I was so desperate as our pet sitter had an emergency and Kadence reassured me she would show up and handle! She was so kind and sent lots of pics to reassure me. She even cleaned their messes due to being left alone so long. She didn’t complain or act as if it inconvenienced her. Greatly recommend her!!!
Taylor took great care of Maggie, my Black Lab. She stopped by twice during the day for walks and visits and sent me a couple of pictures during each visit, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent, and she answered all of my questions promptly. Since I had never met Taylor in person, I felt completely comfortable leaving Maggie in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly use her services again.

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.

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.

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.
