“Such a wonderful experience. Cheryl was friendly and professional. We felt extremely comfortable having her watch the house and taking care of our pets. Thank you again for everything.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 15. I volunteered at the humane society. And I have pet sat for friends and family. I can also potty train puppies. I also can take care of reptiles and Birds. I also can train your puppy to sit. I have experience with cats. I also have experience with hamsters, rabbits, and farm animals. This will be my full time job so my availability is pretty much open for anytime. I love animals so much I have 5 cats and 1 dog. I would prefer to take care of animals in my clients home because I do have animals of my own it would be a lot safer.
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life.. I have been the sole owner/operator for the past 10 years of a local pet sitting & walking business. I have taken care of all types and sizes of dogs, from small chihuahua size to small or large laberdoodles to great danes. I have experience in working with dogs who are stubborn eaters, and regular age dogs to senior dogs who require medication and extra care. My rates are very competitive. From a $35 daily walk/check in while at work or have a longer event to attend to a standard overnight which includes a 10 hour overnight stay, like 8pm-6am with 1 mid day potty/meal break which is $85 If you need a longer overnight stay like 20 hours round the clock/constant concierge care at your house then the rate will be $100 per night. I have a fabulous list of references from clients that have been with me for anywhere from 4 to the full 10 years in operation. I'm currently only doing 1 weekly dog walking job, unfortunately due to the heartbreaking recent loss of one of my longest daily walking and sitting clients. My current daily walking job is only 3 days a week, any 3 days between M-F and is only for 30/35 mins and can be done anytime between 11am to 3pm. The rest of the time I am currently available and due to the flexibility of the current job, I have a very open availability. I only take dogs on leashed walks and during temperatures that are safe for the dog's health. I'm very respectful of what the parents want and specific details for the happiness of their dog. I'm very attentive when I'm with the dog to make sure they are safe at all times. I do in client's home sitting for almost all my clients, and they live it. They will verify trustworthiness, loyalty and respect of their home. I also trying to make it affordable compared to the average median for Jacksonville, FL.

About: Hello. I am a lifelong dog owner and dog carer. I have owned a Brittany Spaniel, and a Shischon from puppy-stage through the end of their lives. Currently I care for a senior Lab and middle-aged German Shephard/Rotweiler mix, both belonging to my daughter who lives in Jacksonville with her husband and my 18-month old grand-son with another expected in November. I've been a Rover client and sitter off and on since 2018. I've not been active for almost 5 years during which time I've worked as a freelance researcher on almost a full-time basis. The demand for that work is shifting and I want to return to dog/house-sitting to supplement my income. I am comfortable walking, visiting and house-sitting small- and medium-size dogs, including senior dogs, and am experienced with giving medicine. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I want to acknowledge the one negative client review regarding a client's senior dog. I was hired for drop-in visits . I let time get away from me for two visits. One of the things that Rover does well is notify dog owners know when their sitter/carer is onsite. The owner notified me when I did not arrive within a reasonable time of the scheduled time and I immediately went to the client site. The dog was fine but the owner was obviously alarmed and terminated the relationship. I take full responsibility for those lapses and they will not happen again. I ask for the opportunity to meet you and your pet and discuss if this is a good fit for us all. Kind regards, Suzanne I am a freelance researcher and work remotely from home. I have full schedule flexibility enabling me to meet your pets' daily schedule for feeding and walks. I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.
“Stephanie did awesome with our babies - she quickly learned their schedule and stuck to it. She let me know when she was leaving and when to expect her back, they were never alone very long. Already booked her for our next trip!”

About: I am genuinely devoted to help you out as much as possible, I am very understanding in different needs for different for babies. I love staying active and going on walks and I know how much it means to keep your children safe. I am currently working a part-time job so I have plenty of time for your fur babies just let me know your schedule before hand and I will make it work I’m a very trusted/prompt at my services. I will always go above and beyond and treat your babies as if they were mine! i promise
About: Ever since I was little animals have been part of my life. Until 2019 I decided to add two new babies into my own family. I have one dog and one cat they will be turn 7 this year. I’m very proud of what I’ve learned through the process of teaching my animal the basics as well as the advanced tricks. I usually take my dog out every 2-3 hours, walk him twice a week and feed him twice a day since his a growing boy. When your animal is in my care I’ll treat him or her the way I treat my furry babies. I can’t wait to meet your babies and helping you with walking, sitting or watching over them.
About: I have owned cats and dogs all of my life and can't imagine my home without them. Animals give us unconditional love, and they deserve the same in return. I have given IV treatments to ailing cats with kidney damage and experience with dispersing meds/pills by mouth. I will treat all your loved ones with the same care that I provide my own. I am retired; I work independently from home and have a lot of free time. I am looking for some fur babies to take care of so their guardians can feel comfortable leaving them. I will treat all dogs and cats like my own and I take their care very serious. If that means sending daily videos or pictures to their guardians to put them at ease, I am happy to do just that. I am happy to feed, water and clean pet areas as part of my home visits. I will scoop litter boxes as well. I take their health seriously and fresh water/food is a very important part of staying healthy. I find no ask unreasonable and will check in with pet parents as often as requested.
“Aniyah did a great job house sitting our Cane Corso and ChiPin. She kept us updated with pics and took excellent care of our fur babies! She Fed, watered, and administered meds to each. She kept them occupied and they really enjoyed spending time with her. As a bonus, the house was immaculate! I strongly recommend Aniyah for house sitting and look forward to having her on a regular basis.”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including multi-pet households where cats and dogs lived together successfully. I understand the different needs of each species and follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions precisely. My focus is always on creating a calm, consistent environment so every pet feels safe and owners can leave with complete peace of mind. I work a remote Medicare sales job that gives me flexible hours and the ability to set my own schedule. This means I can easily plan pet care visits, drop ins, or overnight stays around my work without conflicts. I treat every pet with complete focus and responsibility. I follow all feeding and medication instructions exactly, keep litter areas clean and odor free, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and maintain a calm, consistent routine that prioritizes the animal’s safety and comfort at all times.
About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.
About: Helloooo~ I’ve always loved animals and learning about their individual personalities while connecting with them since I was young (My fave show was “too Cute” if anyone recognizes😂). I’ve cared for both dogs, cats, even house pigs :) I’m also open to pets who require more cautious and attentive care if they are older or have any disabilities! Dogs and cats alike have a liking for me as I don’t rush a bond and allow them to take their time to come to me. I enjoy playing with and giving active attention to pets who are more affectionate, as well as letting the ones who’d like to be alone roam freely, under my careful watch.🧐 I’m currently unemployed as I’m working towards my dreams of becoming a content creator and artist! So I’m consistently free throughout the week and weekends, though I’d prefer to take Sundays off. I have more than enough time and flexibility to provide for your cuddly friends. My home is very large with plenty of space for playing or a large cage if needed. I do not own a backyard however I am located in a large community with room for walks and runs. If I am staying at your home, I will be sure to clean up after your pet as well as myself and watch after your home. I will follow any rules or preferences as I intend to respect your space and your pet. I’m open to household chores as well! And as always direct communication is encouraged, if you have any questions or updates please feel free to reach out! If I have any questions on how to care for your pet or home better I will contact you without hesitation as well!

“Carrie was an absolute blessing caring for us and our 5 dogs while were were out of the country for our wedding. She is so organized, caring, and attentive to all our pets taking away all the stress of leaving our fur-babies for more than a week. She played with each of them, walked them, took them to the river to swim, snuggled the puppies, bathed them, and even cleaned the house to make it nice for us when we arrived home. She went over and beyond in every way which showed her dedication and love for animals. We will definitely use her many more times in the future and I highly recommend her to all families looking for honest, loyal care for their pets.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up with them. Before getting my own in adulthood, I would watch my friend’s dogs for fun and bonded with them immediately. Will shower them with so much love, attention and walks / playtime. Brand new puppy that you’ve been dreaming to get? Is it driving you wild? Are you still dying to take it everywhere with you?!?! My name is Grace, and I am here to alleviate all of your problems so you can kick back your heels, finally have that space day you’ve been searching for ever since you got your gorgeous gorgeous puppy. I just wound down a tech company so I am quite flexible. I personally trained my service animal about 90% of the way through (he alerts me of a medical condition) before paying an egregious amount of money to a world-renowned trainer… she was honest enough to refund the money and tell me that Mr. Truffles was perfect and I should get into doggy training. So here I am… hanging up my corporate hat and ready to dive in, head-first, into the world of dog training to help you and your beloved enjoy the world of luxury of traveling together. No bites, no fights! My Grandfather would say. In this case I’d imagine he would say “No barks, no…” (honestly I can’t think of anything that rhymes 😅 Anywho. I am here to help. I am an ex-headhunter turned founder and CEO. Beloved shopper and luxury traveler myself. Here at your beck and call to make sure you and Mr. or Mrs. _________ make it to your plane well-dressed, fully relaxed, and on your best behavior as usual 💕😉 🥂 I have a very friendly 3.5 year old labradoodle who loves to play with other doggies. Also knows how to be chill if the other doggy doesn’t want to play. My home is safe, fully gated, has a pool and backyard. All the toys and treats (whole-foods; cucumbers, apples, chicken, cheese, salmon…or whatever your heart desires or you provide!) And if I come to home sit.. I will treat your home just as my own and make sure it is safe, clean and properly locked up when we go on walks.
About: I’ve really been taking care of dogs since I was just a kid. From our own family giant schnauzer Max, to watching neighbors dogs while they went out of town including a yorkie named Bo and two corgis Hoover and Jersey. I’m comfortable around all sizes and personalities of dogs! I also have two kitties of my own that I love dearly. A 9 year old love bug orange girl, and a spunky 3 year old girl tabby. My 9 year old has a heart condition and needs extra care and daily medicine, so I am well versed in administering special medications and adhering to any special needs/care. I currently work part time as a mobile massage therapist, so I’m used to going out all around Jacksonville for my job and I make my own schedule! So I have all the freedom to be available for all your fur babies needs. When caring for your babies in your own home, my too priority is keeping their routine and environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure to follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedule exactly as you describe, and I’m happy to handle specific needs like litter box cleaning and fresh water throughout the day. I have experience giving my own cat her pills every night, so I’m comfortable and confident administering oral medications on schedule. For overnight stays, I’ll keep your fur baby company through the evening and night so they never feel alone. I always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, keep an eye out for any hazards, and lock up when I come and go. I’ll send photo and video updates so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed while you’re away, and I’m always reachable if any questions come up. Your home and your pet will be treated with the same same level of care as my own!

About: Since I was a kid, I’ve been growing on a pet friendly environment, I remember having our first dog at home when I was four, was a Cocker Spaniel, then, as a Mexican in our household we had a couple of chihuahuas and since around five years, whenever we got the opportunity to bring dogs home and adopt them, we do it, if not, we serve as bridges to place them with a family that will loved them, as much as we would if we had a huge land to bring them. Currently I have my 9-5, I would definitely be around after work or during weekends to take care of the furriest one at home. Currently I live in an apartment and not sure if I can bring dogs here, if possible, I would love to have them around but if not, happy to be where I’m needed.

The average cost of House Sitting in Macclenny is $46 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $54 per night.

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 Macclenny 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 Macclenny 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 Macclenny 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
