About: Since I was 5 years old, I have had a family dog as part of my life. I take special care with my now current elderly dog to make sure he is hydrated in the summer heat. I will give the same care to your family member. I am retired and available most days for drop in visits in the morning, afternoon and evenings. I will make your pet's needs are met and keep you informed of their care. In your home I will use the upmost respect for your animal's care and home. I plan on each visit to spend time not only taking care of their needs but talking and playing with them too.

We are so grateful to have had Alexandra take care of our Mucho! She went above and beyond what we expected and truly treated him with so much care and attention. She even took the extra time to clean his crate and make sure everything around him was clean and comfortable. What we appreciated the most were her regular updates. Knowing how Mucho was doing throughout our trip gave us so much peace of mind. Alexandra was very attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring, and we could tell that she was putting in extra effort to make sure he was happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend Alexandra to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely love to have her care for Mucho again in the future! Thank you so much, Alexandra, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! 🐾❤️

If you are looking for a fantastic dog walker, look no further than Carter. He was wonderfully flexible and easy to work with, which made my schedule so much easier to manage. The absolute best part, though, was seeing how much my dogs genuinely adored him. I highly recommend him to anyone needing reliable pet care.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with both horses and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two Pit Lab mixes of my own who are truly my children! I also regularly help care for my sister’s dog when needed. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I’ll treat every animal I care for with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and lots of attention. Living at Jax Beach, I’m always out walking my own dogs and would love to bring your pup along for some fresh air and exercise! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa. 🤗 What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, adaptable, and especially comfortable with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I have personal experience caring for a senior cat with diabetes, which has taught me how important consistency, observation, and attention to detail are when caring for an aging pet or one with additional needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding routines, medication instructions, and individualized care plans. I’m also very calm and capable in a crisis. If something unexpected happens, I don’t panic. I assess the situation, follow the appropriate steps, communicate with the owner, and make sure the pet’s safety comes first. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to stay level-headed when you’re not there. Above all, I pay attention to the little things: changes in appetite, bathroom habits, energy, behavior, and overall mood. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their person is away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. 🐾💛⭐️🤗✨ As an actress and social media content creator, my schedule is very flexible and currently quite open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work my days around their routines, whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and having a flexible schedule means I’m not constantly rushing off to another commitment. Your pet can get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Basically, I’m happy to let your pet be my boss. 😂🐾 Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I give pets time to become familiar with the surroundings and neighborhood rather than overwhelming them. I pay close attention to their stress levels, body language, appetite, energy, and behavior so I can adjust their care to what they’re communicating. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Along with caring for your pets, I’m happy to handle everyday things like tending to gardens, taking out the trash, doing dishes, bringing in mail, and keeping the home tidy. I want you to come home to happy pets and a home that feels just as you left it. 🐾

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.

Deb is awesome! She’s a lifesaver for working long hours and makes sure my dogs get their legs stretched and good potty break so I don’t have to worry about them all day. Also greatly appreciate that she always picks up any stuff they’ve gotten into during the day and puts it away. Never expected that so it’s greatly appreciated. Also always checks the water bowls and my dogs seem happy to see her!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life from the time I was 7! I’ve mostly taken care of smaller dogs but love all sizes. I’m looking forward to connecting and taking care of your four legged baby! I currently work a few days a week but it varies which days each week. I am happy to work together to find times that work for all parties involved! I am looking forward to taking your dog on a walk and getting them out of the house and great exercise as they all deserve!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals on my Granny’s farm, so caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my own home, we had three dogs and four cats, and animals were never just pets, they were family. My mom was a veterinary technician for 15 years, and she regularly brought home injured or recovering animals that needed rehabilitation. Through that experience, I learned how to safely handle pets in all kinds of situations and environments. She passed down extensive hands-on knowledge to me, including how to recognize warning signs, respond calmly in emergencies, and administer medications. I’ve even assisted with IV fluids for a dog when needed. Because of this background, I’m comfortable caring for pets who may need extra patience, medical attention, or routine based care. I bring more experience than the average sitter and take your pet’s safety, comfort, and while still giving them plenty of love, attention, and reassurance I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for early mornings, mid-day visits, evenings, and weekends. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I’m attentive to behavior changes, health needs, and comfort levels, especially for pets who may be anxious, senior, or require medical care. I keep the home clean and secure, ensure doors and gates are properly locked, and respect household rules at all times. I prioritize communication and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I also previously worked at an animal hospital, which gave me valuable hands-on experience around pets with different personalities, ages, and care needs. I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets and entering your home. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and drop-in visits while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m also very comfortable with cats and understand that sometimes earning their trust means giving them a little extra patience and space! I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. 🐶🐱❤️

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine connection with both pets and owners. I’m easy to communicate with, reliable, and treat every furry friend as if they were my own family. “Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I structure my day around walks, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring pets always feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. In both my home and clients’ homes, I provide attentive, loving care—feeding, walking, playing, and keeping routines consistent so pets feel safe, happy, and loved.

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.

About: Hi! I'm someone who truly loves being around dogs and caring for them like they're family. I’ve had plenty of experience walking, boarding, and spending quality time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s a daily walk, weekend stay, or just some daytime play and snuggles, I make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work remotely so your fur babies won’t spend too much time alone, if any. This also allows me flexibility to cater to your pets needs whether it be fun activities, long walks, or couch snuggles. When I'm home I have a fenced yard for your pups to run around in or they can hang inside. Nothing is off limits to the fur kids in terms of sofas or beds. I have also spent time at client's home and am always clean and organized. I leave places as clean as I find them, if not cleaner.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Jacksonville Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,549 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jacksonville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Jacksonville Beach. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Jacksonville Beach.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
