“Alexa was great! She looked after our dog and cat for a couple nights, and gave us great updates. This was our dogs first time with a house sitter, and she made it a great experience for him!”
“If I could give Alyssa 100 stars, I absolutely would! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing she was as a pet sitter for my 3-month-old puppy. I was honestly so nervous about leaving my puppy because she’s still so little, but Alyssa made the entire experience so stress-free and reassuring. She was incredibly attentive, sent me updates throughout the day, and made sure my puppy felt loved and cared for. I even have a little pet camera facing my puppy’s crate, and seeing Alyssa playing with, cuddling, and spending time with her all day made me feel so much better. You can genuinely tell that she loves what she does and truly enjoys caring for animals. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my puppy. I’m so grateful for how wonderful she was, and I would 100% trust her with my puppy again. Thank you so much, Alyssa! You were absolutely amazing! 🥹🤍”
“Elijah is one of the best if not THE BEST pet sitter I’ve ever had. His care, kindness, attention to detail and professionalism are just a few of Elijah’s many wonderful qualities. I received multiple photos and thorough updates during the week I was out of town due to a family emergency. Knowing Ollie was being well cared for allowed me to focus on what I needed to. He is truly a wonderful pet sitter and A++ solid person!!”
“Luz was a fantastic sitter! From the first meet and greet we felt confident that our fur-babies would be cared for as if it were by us. Luz was quick to communicate, sent lots of great photos and videos and spent quality time with our fur-babies with plenty of walks. We were hesitant since this was our first time using Rover, but Luz put all our worries to rest and was truly great!”
About: I've had dogs for 16 years and have experience with small dogs, large dogs, puppies and seniors! I'm active and am able to take them for long walks or runs. I also have experience and am capable of lifting and physically assisting them if needed. I work full time but am close by, so I am not away longer than 8 hours. I have most weekend days off and can be flexible I have a fenced in yard, and a crate if needed. If staying at your house, I'm comfortable walking the dog if there isn't a yard. I'm fine with animals on the furniture but will follow any pet parent rules!
“Hannah did a great job! My dogs love her. She was very attentive and dependable. Very professional yet obviously loves pets. And knowledgeable about things. I will definitely use her as our sitter the next time we need someone.”
About: We’ve owned many dogs before. We travel frequently for longer periods of time so we can’t have another of our own in this season. We still want to fill the time we are home with a dog in the house and be able to help out families. I work from home and my husband is a teacher so he is home mid afternoon and each evening. We are in and out during the weekends. We live very close to a dog park if that is something your dog is interested in and love going on walks around the neighborhood. We love spending time outside in the backyard or cuddled on the couch. We also have plenty of space if your dog prefers to be in a crate or on its own.
About: Trusted pet sitter with 3+ years’ experience offering dog walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. Dependable, loving, trusting and attentive. Treating every pet like family. 🐾💕 Pet care fits very well into my routine. I work a hybrid job, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to adjust my availability as needed for pet care. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening walks, or overnight stays, I'm able to accommodate a variety of schedules to meet your pet's needs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex near the beach, which allows for plenty of walks, exercise, and outdoor time. Inside my home, there is ample space for your pet to relax, play, and feel comfortable. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I follow their usual routines, provide lots of attention and affection, and ensure they always have fresh water, exercise, and companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you're away.
About: I am a positive and enthusiastic pet lover who has been dog sitting off and on since I was a teenager. I recently graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in political communication and have moved back home to Jacksonville. I currently work part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money. I have a 15-year-old Shih Tzu and a 12-year-old Boxer mix. I have been taking care of my Shih Tzu since I was a child and I adopted my senior Boxer mix in 2023. I am extremely responsible and have been trusted with several jobs, including dog sitting and walking. I have experience with wound care, medicine (including administering eye drops), and bathing both small and large dogs. I live just a 1/2 mile away from the beach which is perfect for walks and playtime. I look forward to loving and caring for your pups just as I care for mine! My work schedule varies and is not consistent but I typically work Tuesday and Friday nights, and sometimes on Sunday or Saturday nights. I’m typically free in the mornings and afternoons. I live in a condo complex with my parents and our two dogs, but they are friendly with other dogs. The surrounding area/neighborhood is beautiful and is just a 1/2 mile from the beach, perfect for walks and playtime.
“Terri was SO wonderful!! She was flexible with a last minute booking and took such good care of my babies! I got lots of updates, and I could tell they were getting lots of love. She really thought of everything with them and left my apartment super clean and tidy. She’s absolutely the best sitter!”
“Griffin was awesome with my dogs! He watched them for the weekend and made the whole experience incredibly easy. He was communicative, responsive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved him and were clearly happy and comfortable in his care. I’d definitely recommend Griffin to anyone looking for someone dependable and great with dogs. I’ll absolutely be using him again!”
About: I have been dogsitting since I’ve been in high school and have absolutely loved every minute. I’ve taken care of little yorkies as well as big German Shepard and am up for anything. I love to play fetch with them, go for runs with them, or even just lay in the grass and enjoy the sunshine. I can’t wait to meet your dog. I work from home so am able to give your dog plenty of potty breaks and attention during the day. I usually go for mid day walks so would love to bring them on that with me I treat every dog with the upmost priority and importance as their safety and happiness is crucial to me. I want them to be comfortable with me and build a bond with walking them.
“Madeleine did an amazing job for us. She was punctual and arrived exactly when she said she would. We really appreciated the way she kept us updated with pictures and how Gracie was doing overall. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I've loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a farm in PR. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they were away. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust at their own pace. I'm especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and believe they deserve gentle, compassionate care. Whether it's keeping your pet active with walks and playtime or simply keeping them company and maintaining their routine, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're apart. I also speak fluent Spanish, some Portuguese I do work a full time job as an optician (15 years) but looking into going to college for animal pshycology and behavior. Im available mostly weekends right now and some weekdays. My happiest is when I'm surrounded with animals since I grew up in a farm in PR it's been my dream to create a sanctuary for all animals. Right now not offering services in my home. I share my home with my sweet dog, Alice, who has taught me a great deal about patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding different personalities. And my beautiful affectionate senior cat, ophilia, who can't get enough cuddles and treats ❤️
About: I have happily taken care of many dogs throughout my life (my own and others) and really enjoy the companionship of being around dogs in general. I do have a full time job, however I am a 5 min walk away from my home. I’ll have plenty of time to board dogs on the weekends and weekdays after my day job. I don’t have any pets of my own currently. I live in a gated apartment complex with many other dogs as neighbors and have access to outside areas for going on walks and using the bathroom.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville Beach
Carter is an absolute BLESSING!!! He showed up as promised on time and followed all of my (100 overboard) requests for caring for my high maintenance French Bulldog. Carter ensured Biscuit was SAFE, LOVED and WALKED consistently. He even went so far to collaborate with my neighbor who has a Frenchie for play time every single day. He respected and took care of my puppy and my home for multiple days! I highly recommend this sitter. He’s a GEM !
Tanya took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. One of them is a cranky Chihuahua who takes time to warm up to new people, and Tanya was patient with him until she won him over. She communicated with us regularly, which made us feel much better knowing she was there. She also walked our younger dog three times a day. We would happily recommend Tanya to anyone looking for someone to care for their dogs!
Nataley was fantastic! She stayed overnight with our 2 year old pup, Frankie, and everything went smoothly. She provided frequent updates with plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Frankie was well cared for and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. Natalie is a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter and we look forward to using her services again in the future.
Olivia is the best sitter we’ve ever had. She is highly professional, a great communicator, and completely trustworthy. We especially appreciated the photo updates she sent while we were traveling, which gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend booking Olivia - your pets will be in excellent hands!
This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone other than my family and I was very worried and anxious. After finding Sydney & Evan I explained to them that I had an anxious dog and they offered to do a meet & greet which was great. My dog has a lot of anxiety meeting new people but Sydney & Evan were great and assured me they would take great care of him & my home. They were very respectful and left my home perfect and took great care of my dog even though he probably wasn’t the easiest. They gave me updates daily and I felt so comfortable having them take care of him. Highly recommend!
Mariah was just fantastic to our little guy Sammy! We had her take care of Sammy while we went to The Players golf tournament for four full days. She had to deal with all kinds of odd hours-but she always was happy to work with us on whatever timeframe was needed each day, Mariah is also a great communicator, and we always felt like Sammy was in great hands with her!! Anybody who needs someone to take care of their furry friend should book her immediately-they will be glad they did!! Thanks, Mariah,for making Sammy feel at home for those four days!!!
Dawn was great. She communicated clearly and gave me daily updates which was wonderful. She left the house tidy and clean. My two dogs absolutely loved her and I was able to feel at ease while away from them. I am grateful to have found her. Thank you so much Dawn!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Jacksonville Beach is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,451 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jacksonville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Jacksonville Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Jacksonville Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
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. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
