About: I have always grown up and been around dogs and cats. I grew up with big dog breeds and they will always hold my heart, but I currently have a small dog who I love like a human child haha. I’ve been around and helped train puppies and also have experience with older doggies. I accept and love all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a full time remote job , so I am always home! I may go to the gym for an hour but I am never more than 20 minutes away from my house. I have time during my day for long walks and even longer cuddle sessions. I have a larger apartment so accommodate any size doggo and my own small pup to offer some company to yours! I also love to be outside and go on walks so there is no shortage of outside time.
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals, I have a sweet cat named Salem and a playful dog named Bella who keep me busy every day. I also volunteered regularly at the Humane Society in Jacksonville, Florida, where I helped walk dogs, socialize cats, and support adoptions. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I start and end each day with walks, playtime, and feeding for my dog, Bella, and make sure my cat, Salem, gets plenty of attention and care too. I’m used to balancing pet care with a busy schedule, so I always make time for exercise, cuddles, and keeping pets happy and comfortable. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel secure. I make sure food, water, and routines stay consistent, and I keep a close eye on how each pet is feeling. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal schedule and rules to keep things familiar and stress-free. I always give lots of love, attention, and gentle supervision so pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.
About: As a lifelong pet lover and experienced caretaker, I've fostered and cared for pets my entire life. I understand their unique personalities and needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I currently have two Siamese cats who are my whole world, so I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust. I also have experience administering several kinds of medication, from oral pills and liquid meds to injections and special treatments. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or special care, I'll treat your pet like my own. As someone who spends most of my time at home when I'm not at work, I'm able to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. Their well-being will always be my priority, and I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and companionship. Whether they need a cozy cuddle buddy, regular exercise, or just someone to keep them company, I'm here to give them the time and attention they deserve. I'm also happy to take them to parks or the beach if needed, ensuring they stay active and happy while you're away! I understand how difficult and stressful it can be to trust someone else with your pet - they're family, and their safety and happiness mean everything. That's why I make it my top priority to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'll ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. To keep you reassured, I'll also provide regular pictures and videos, so you can see firsthand that your furry friend is happy, healthy, and in great hands!
“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.”

“Portia was amazing. I’ve never been more pleased with someone looking over my dog. She even came over to meet the dog the day before just to get a feel for her and it was an instant match. I told her my dog loved other dogs and she ended up bringing her own for a play date which my dog loved. If I’m ever in need of a sitter again I’ll for sure be booking Portia!!!”
“I am so happy to have found Celeste! We are not in the center of town, and I am pleased to have found someone who lives nearby. Celeste took care of our cats over Christmas, and she was punctual, conscientious, and very polite.”
“Patrick is super friendly and has a great demeanor with Smokey. I can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs and acts completely at ease with my anxious dog.”
About: I have many years of experience taking care of dogs of all different breeds, sizes, and ages (including puppies and very old dogs). I am a very active person who goes on multiple walks a day and will 100% bring your dogs with me if you’re okay with it :) Most importantly, I will treat your dogs like they are my own children. I currently work remote so I am home all day and have a very flexible schedule. I can take your pets out and play with them all day long and as frequently as needed.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. My passion and love for dogs inspired me to start a dog rescue a few years ago. Since starting the rescue, I have gained experience with dogs of all different ages, breeds, and sizes. I have also learned to handle a variety of different behavior and health issues. I have experience with aggressive, fearful, and anxious dogs. I am confident in handling just about any type of dog. I can be available most days of the week. My schedule is flexible for the most part, so I will do my best to accommodate you. While caring for your pet, I will do my best to treat them as you would. I will give them plenty of love and attention, but also be sure to set the same boundaries for them as you do. For example, if you don't allow them on the couch then I will do the same. I will also send you plenty of updates on how they are doing while I am with them.
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats and even horses since childhood. Friends, family and neighbors have entrusted me with their fur babies, a privilege which I take very seriously. I enjoy spending time with all animals, whether that be playing, walking, bathing, feeding, or afternoon napping. I work full time Monday through Friday, and have the option to work from home on a weekday if needed. I am available for boarding Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and for all other services Monday through Friday after 5:00pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. I live in a house in a safe, small neighborhood with sidewalks and have a large backyard. I can easily crate if needed and provide the care and services accordingly based on each clients’ requests.
“Alexandra was great! She was so sweet with our pups and they were always looking happy and smiley in all their pictures! We will definitely be using her again to watch the pups.”
About: Hi there! 👋 I’ve been dog sitting for as long as I can remember. Starting when I was growing up, all through college, and even while living in Nashville, TN. I recently got married and moved back to Florida and am excited to meet new pups here! While I can’t host dogs in my current home, my husband and I are more than happy to come to you and make sure your pets feel safe and loved in their own space. You can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾 We keep our calendar up to date and are available most weekends when we’re not traveling. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, we’ll treat them like they’re our own. - Pet care fits nicely into my weekly routine. I work from home on Mondays, which gives me flexibility to visit pets throughout the day. Tuesday through Friday, I work 9–5, so I’m available before or after work, as well as most weekends when I’m not traveling. - I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs. Some dogs want lots of playtime and exercise, while others prefer snuggles and quiet attention. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If the pet enjoys it, I love taking them for walks or trips to nearby dog parks. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their routines for feeding, walks, and play, and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and updates so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville Beach
Carter has been great in watching/walking my French bulldog bean. He is always on time and gives feedback on how bean did on his walk. My Bean is in great hands with him - I highly recommend him as someone who is dependable and trustworthy to watch your animals.
Hands down best dog sitter! Flexible, very kind and great at communicating with dog parents. Kept Annie safe and happy during inclement weather and kept us updated with messages and pictures! We were in town for a ballgame and needed a sitter in a pinch and she went out of her way to meet Annie ahead of time and put our minds at ease! 10 out of 10!
She was amazing with Capone, my American bully mix! She was always on time, super attentive, and made sure everything I asked for was taken care of. She went above and beyond during her visits and spent time with him rather than just checking on him and leaving. She would play with him, take him on walks, and even on a rainy day, she spent the visit hanging out and cuddling with him inside. She sent great updates after every visit, including multiple pictures and a little recap of how the visit went. She was also very respectful of the house. Capone was always so happy after her visits. I would absolutely recommend her and would definitely book with her again!
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!
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.

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.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
