“Alexa took great care of my cats and dog. Kept everything in order, sent me pics everyday and was extremely prompt with communication. Would definitely use her again next time.”
“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%.”
“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.”
“Mackenzie was great in accepting drop-in visits at the last minute during a holiday weekend. She has great communication in informing us of how Callie, our cat, was doing daily. Sent us multiple pictures and played with her during her visits. We highly recommend her.”
“Alyssa is outstanding! She went above and beyond in taking care of my sweet but shy, cat (Binx). I was surprised how quickly she won him over and loved seeing pictures of Binx playing and eagerly accepting Alyssa’s attention. Alyssa is dependable and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Alyssa and look forward to booking her to care for my sweet boy in the future.”
“Ambar was super easy to work with! She was friendly and my babies took to her very easy. I asked to modify my request after she accepted the initial one and she was able to accommodate it for me.”
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.
“Michelle took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She provided daily updates and photos, which kept me reassured. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future pet-sitting needs.”
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.
“Amanda has been wonderful! She always arrives on time and sends great pictures of the dogs on their walk. She goes the extra mile and plays with them and gives them some extra love before leaving.”
About: Hi! I’m Lauren — an active, outdoorsy person who recently traded the corporate grind for a little more freedom, and I’m excited to spend some of that time with your dog or cat! I grew up with dogs my entire life and have years of experience pet sitting for friends and coworkers. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely love being around animals. I especially enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m equally happy hanging out with a pup who just wants some company. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, communicate throughout the visit, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for. I’ve also put in time sitting cats - including some high-maintenance felines that needed special medication administered. You can trust me to follow instructions closely! I have a very flexible schedule right now while I am pursuing entrepreneurial ventures. I’d love to use dog sitting as a regular part of my schedule to get outside and keep moving - recurring bookings welcomed! 😊 I am meticulous and am always sure to completely close and secure all gates, doors, exits, etc. I’ll always keep my eye on your pet to keep them safe and comfortable.
“Lisa was so great!! So good at communicating, let us know if anything out of the ordinary was going on, like an unusual poop or doormat askew. Really appreciated her prompt responses and care for our girl while we were out of town. :)”
About: Hi, I’m Karah! I’m a therapist based in Jax Beach and a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I live with two cats and a senior dog, so I’m no stranger to managing routines, meds, or special needs. Growing up with dogs taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and compassion — and that’s exactly how I approach pet care. Whether your dog loves long walks, quiet time, or lots of belly rubs, I’ll tailor my care to match their personality and needs. As a therapist, I’m calm, reliable, and detail-oriented. You can count on me to communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and give your pet all the love and attention they deserve. I have two cats and one older dog who I’ve raised since she was a puppy. She’s gentle, calm, and great with other animals. My home is pet-friendly and low-stress — perfect for senior dogs or pups who need a more chill vibe. I’ve also cared for pets with anxiety, mobility issues, and dietary needs, so I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations. I understand how important it is to feel confident and at peace while you’re away from your pet. I’m very respectful of the routines you’ve already built — from specific feeding times to favorite walking routes. I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions, medications, or behavioral quirks. I always aim to keep you in the loop with daily updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“I came home and could absolutely tell how well my little man (my dog) was taken care of. She did a great job! 10/10 would recommend! She also got some really good pics of him :)”

I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on my work schedule. I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure your pup gets the care and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville Beach
Candice was great at taking care of my two kitties! I have a kitten and senior cat who require extra care given their ages and Candice went above and beyond. She provided a photo and update every visit which put me at ease. She has a very kind demeanor and left my house as good (if not better) than I left. I would recommend Candice for future pet care and hope to rebook her soon.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jacksonville Beach is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. 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 2,657 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jacksonville Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacksonville Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
