“Gabbi is the best! She stayed at my place with my dog-like cat for a little over a week. She sent me daily updates and pictures which warmed my heart. It’s hard leaving our fur babies but with Gabbi know they are in great hands.”
“Kadence was awesome with my little crew. She was super attentive to their needs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. I was able to enjoy my time away and not worry about them at all.”
“Scott was absolutely wonderful both with our Amos, and our home. We got plants of photos and updates for Amos’ activity and daily happenings, and Scott was quick to respond if ever we needed anything. Scott must be a dog whisperer of sorts, because our Amos had zero issues with us leaving (he ate, did not pace at all, settled and napped per usual, and slept all night, and even cuddled with Scott!).. which is exactly what we were hoping for! We 100% would recommend Scott and will be relying on him again for any of our house/pet sitting needs.”
“Brianna was great!! Was on time, kept both pets on their feeding schedule, played with them and even washed their bowls for me! Will be using her in the future and recommending her to anyone needing exemplary pet care.”
“Darci was amazing! She was extremely flexible and accommodating. She treated our animals and our home with kindness and respect. We felt 100% comfortable on our weekend get away and that peace of mind is priceless. We will certainly be booking her again!!! If your debating on an in home sitter this is the one!!”
“Trisha was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel so much better about traveling, knowing our fur babies were being snuggled, loved on, and so well cared for while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. We can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Trisha, for taking such amazing care of our babies!”
“Mackenna was an absolute dream with my two elderly dogs. Previous to our trip, one of our pups had major surgery on her back paw and had to wear a cast and take many different medications. Mackenna handled all of that tremendously! We know it was a lot of work and we were so grateful to her! We will definitely request her again! Thanks Mackenna for everything!”
“Ruby was wonderful. She was prompt, communicative, sent lots of photos and took great care of my dogs and home. I will have her back again and recommend her!”
“Kira is amazing. Our fur babies and daughters lizards were well looked after. She did us the honor of updating us with pictures of them the whole time she came back to the house from work. We had her stay at our home with them. Kira treated them so well, they seemed happy and calm when we returned and that was amazing for us as both our fur babies have separation anxiety. Yes a million times I would recommend her to look after your fur babies. We look forward to having you look after Kili and Manjaro again in the future. Thank you Kira.”
“She was great!! I felt safe leavig our spoiled and moody Coco "the cat" with her. Coco was well taken care and loved her visits. She is honest and caring. Initially, I was scared to leave my empty home to an "stranger", but as soon as we met her I felt we where making the right decision to trust her. And we where right!! I will use her services again soon. Thank you Laura! ”
“Awesome, awesome people! They came last minute for me in an emergency and I could not be more grateful! I got lots of awesome pictures and updates on my furbaby. My baby loved Evan so much! I will absolutely love to have this couple again! I am so so grateful to have had such a loving person take care of my baby.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app and I was a little apprehensive about leaving Moby. Pia totally put my mind at ease with updates and pictures of Moby. She took excellent care of him and I will definitely rebook her in the future !!!”
“This was my first time using Rover, Lizzy made it such a pleasant experience. She has a great energy about her and a clear love for animals. She was easy to communicate with and sent adorable pictures. Thank you so much!!”
“Hands down she was the best rover doggie/house sitter we’ve had. Her communication was great and she was very attentive to our two doggies. She gave them lots of play time. We ran into an issue with our flights and got stuck an additional night out of town and Hannah was very willing to work with us and she helped us out tremendously! I would highly recommend Hannah and we would definitely like to have her sit for us again.”
“Parker absolutely loved her! Sent photos of my pup to me throughout her visits and went above and beyond! Thank you for helping me out so last minute I APPRECIATE YOU!”
“Bianca is a true gem! We all love her, ( my 3 dachshunds )especially Guinness who wanted all her attention. Bianca is the most compassionate level headed dog sitter. She was outstanding with my 16 year old Marjie. And handled baby Bella who needs time to warm up. She’s A natural pro. No worries with Bianca taking care of your babies.”

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.
Presley was fantastic! She took great care of our dog and home while we were away. Communication was excellent, and we came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable pet care.
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!
Alexandria is the BEST!! She is very accommodating, I had to alter my days with her and she was able to still keep my CoCo Melon. If you want a true dog whisperer she is the one. Coco instantly took to her. Thaaaaaank You! You’re the BEST! I’m will definitely book with you for my next trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jacksonville Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jacksonville Beach on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,492 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
