“Samantha has watched Mack twice now and did a great job keeping us in the loop, making sure he took his daily meds and most importantly making sure he had a good time! He is very high energy and a handful to watch but no complaints here, will be bringing Mack back next time.”

About: I’ve never been able to own a dog of my own but I have seen and played with many over the years, I always play around with all sorts of pups and big dogs, I love watching them roam in yards, do tricks and overall being happy fellas, I am no expert with dogs but I will once I start getting the chance to get to know dogs, I love all animals, and will happily learn what I need to take care of the pets well! I’m not employed to any part time jobs, I have free time throughout the week and weekends, i have all the time to play and or take care of cats and dogs! I have a fencing all around the property and in case you do not want them to go to far out we have a inner fenced area, we love to let our animals roam so expect there to be chickens and sometimes goats roaming, our cats are fed three times a day, plenty of water and toys, and spots to relax at any time, our chickens are fed two big scoops of scratch and seed everyday and roam to catch bugs with an automatic water supply, our goats are fed every two-three days depending on how quick they eat their hay, water is automatically available, with their own big enclosure to jump, run, and play!

“I can’t say enough great things about Chandler! Leaving my little man while traveling for a business trip was stressful, but Chandler immediately put my mind at ease. His genuine care, communication and attention made me feel completely confident that my dog was in the best hands. It’s clear he truly loves animals and treats them like family. I was able to focus on my work knowing my pup was safe, happy and well cared for. I’m incredibly grateful for the peace of mind he provided and would highly recommend Chandler to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. I also worked at a dog center for 2 years, I volunteer at the dog shelter, I take the dogs on walks as well as taking them out for a day to get a break from the shelter, and have such a huge soft spot for dogs. My family goes to the local dog parks all the time as an activity to do, and get our crazy hunting dogs outside. I love being active and being outside, I’d love to spoil other fur babies! Overall I have tons of experience:) I work Monday-Thursday from 7:30am-12pm but am free after that! I do have a caregiver job but if I am given a week heads up, I should be able to accommodate. I also have days that I am not caregiving, so I will have random free days too! I think it’s super important to keep dogs in a safe environment with potential hazards out of their reach. Especially certain foods. My dogs are table surfers so I am very used to making sure everything is out of reach before leaving the house.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like a member of my own family. After more than 50 years of caring for dogs, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a quiet, relaxed environment, I'll provide dependable, personalized care. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, administer oral medications if needed, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits well into my routine because I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, or evening visits, walks, feeding, or companionship, I can adjust my schedule to meet their needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to giving each pet the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their normal routine, so I strive to make them feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible. In a client's home, I'll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines your pet is used to. I'll also provide plenty of attention, affection, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care I would my own.

About: As an RN and experienced dog owner, I provide dependable, attentive care for puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs or medications. I understand the importance of safety, patience, routines, communication, and treating every pet like family. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine, as I have open availability throughout the summer for weekdays, evenings, and weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable, attentive care, including walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight care when needed. I care for every pet as if they were my own by providing a safe, calm, loving, and attentive environment. We have 6 acres of land where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air, while leash walks are always welcome and fun as well. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. As an RN, safety, cleanliness, communication, and attention to detail are extremely important to me, and I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind while owners are away.

About: Hi! My name is Aiden, and I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years now. I started pet sitting and dog walking when I was around 12 years old, and over the years I’ve gained experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I regularly care for my cousin’s dog, Scout, whenever they go out of town, and I also frequently watch Raya, one of my family friends’ dogs, during vacations and trips. Because of this, I’m very familiar with overnight care, keeping dogs comfortable in a home environment, maintaining routines, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve also spent summers walking dogs for families in my area, which helped me become comfortable handling different personalities, sticking to feeding and walking schedules, and making sure every dog gets the attention and exercise they need. I’ve had a dog of my own as well, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I truly love animals and treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, daytime care, and overnight stays in your home. I do work a part-time job, but my shifts are typically only around 6 hours during the day. Outside of that, I’m fully available to spend time with your pets and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I also make communication a priority and will happily send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I always make it a priority to keep pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while caring for them in their home. I understand how important routines are for animals, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and bedtime to help them feel secure while you’re away. I’m very respectful of both your home and your pet’s space, and I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure to keep your pet safe at all times. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs so they receive the right level of care, attention, and exercise. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Jay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 214 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Jay. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

96% of sitters in Jay can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Jay home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Jay.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jay. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

You and your Jay sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
