“This was my first time working with Dawn. She did a terrific job, keeping me posted and taking great care of my kitties. Will definitely work with her again.”

“Mackenna provided amazing care to our puppy! She is professional , very attentive, and has excellent communication skills. I would recommend her to take care of your fur baby 100%.”
“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.”
“Sydney is a keeper. Both of my dogs and the family love how punctual she was. Her attention to detail and a healthy attention to both dogs. She made sure to send pictures and updates. My favorite part of our first Rover experience is that Chase’s ball broke and Sydney got him a new one. I love that she went the extra mile for Chase and for us.”
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 there! My name is Amber. I’ve been dog and cat sitting for some time now for several families, and the number keeps growing. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I have a seven yo Golden Retriever named Astro! If you ever get the chance to meet him, you’ll understand why people trust me with their fur babies—he’s pure joy, happiness, and love. There’s nothing particularly special about my pet care experience or skills—I just genuinely love taking care of animals. I promise to care for your pets the same way you would. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to dedicate ample time throughout the day to feeding, walking, and playing with pets, as well as handling any special needs. Once the school year begins, I am available as early as 2:30 PM on weekdays, which still allows plenty of time in the afternoon and evening for pet care responsibilities. I’m also available on weekends. I’m organized, reliable, and accustomed to balancing a structured workday with other responsibilities, so I ensure that pet care remains a priority year-round. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will keep them on a leash at all times for safety during walks or visits. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a calm, secure environment, sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible. I always follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, exercise, medication, or behavior management to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
“Aimee took care of our 2 kittens wonderfully and was very responsive with daily updates and photos! Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
About: I’m a retired Real estate agent, and I’ve always helped my clients during the stressful time of moving with their pets. I grew up with Fox terriers, and have had many stray, dogs and cats. They seem to find me! I love animals and want the best for them. I recently retired to Florida, and do some volunteer work, but would love to help you with your pet. My Lola recently passed away after being with us for 18 years. So I would love to be able to Share my experience and love of animals with you. It will be so much fun for me to have playtime with your dog or kitty. I will be happy to play in your backyard with puppy or take them for a short walk.
“Claire was very sweet to my old puppy. She put up with his attitude and took such great care of him. I truly appreciate your time! And I hope you will watch the pup again soon!”
“Baylee was incredible for drop in visits for our cats! She was attentive and shows them plenty of lovings and the cats were always happy to see her. Thank you Baylee!!!! We appreciate you so much!”
“Ruth did an incredible job, she watched our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks and she gave us peace of mind the entire trip! She sent lots of pictures for each visit, and really spent her time hanging out with our cats☺️ She took care of everything we asked and was so communicative the entire time. Would highly recommend to watch your fur babies!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, fish, you name it. I currently have two dogs and a cat, pet sit for neighbors, family, etc. I am a teacher, so currently off for the summer with a flexible schedule. I am a teacher, so I am home all summer and during the school year I am home by 2:30 on most days. I go in very early, so my husband does morning walk and breakfast with your dogs. If I am sitting it will be me doing all walks. We live in Atlantic Beach on a cul de sac, with a fenced back yard and lots of room. In the summer my day consists of yard work, gardening, and beach walks. Weekends are generally with my husband and friends. My dogs go for daily walks and pretty much follow me around all day! The cat either lays under the boat or on my daughter's bed depending on her nap schedule. Dogs get breakfast, a snack and dinner at 6:30 sharp and yak chews from the farmer's market as their treats. If house sitting I will do whatever the pet owners prefer.
“Parker-Lynn did drop in visits on our cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. I have to admit that I was nervous about leaving my babies, but Parker-Lynn did such a great job at checking in when she did her visits, sending pictures and updates each time. It definitely took a huge weight off our shoulders to know that our kitties were being well cared for while we were gone, and we plan to hire Parker-Lynn for next time too!!”
“Sharon hooked us up with a last minute booking during the holidays. She was great with our pups and everything was great when we came home. Will definitely be booking with her again next time we have to go out of town.”

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.
Dawn was a wonderful cat sitter! I have been a Rover sitter myself, but have never had anyone watch my own pets before. Dawn did not disappoint. She was kind, caring, detail oriented and made me feel 100% confident my fur babies would be loved while I was gone! I will be booking her again in the future.
Sherri did a great job caring for our 12-year old cat while we were away. She was always responsive and compassionate for our boy. I felt at ease knowing that she was checking on him while we were gone. Thanks for everything, Sherri! Will definitely book again. 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Jacksonville Beach on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,646 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jacksonville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jacksonville Beach stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville Beach. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
