“We always make sure Robyn & Steven are available if we need to leave town because they are the very best pet & house sitters. We adopted a kitten recently and they were very understanding and accommodating when we had to add a 3rd cat to our stay. As always, we felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with Robyn & Steven.”
“Terri was SO wonderful!! She was flexible with a last minute booking and took such good care of my babies! I got lots of updates, and I could tell they were getting lots of love. She really thought of everything with them and left my apartment super clean and tidy. She’s absolutely the best sitter!”
“Sidnee was great!! We really appreciate her watching our Riley for the weekend. She was so organized and attentive and gave us updates twice daily! Highly recommend using her services :)”
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.
“Kristy was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! We have a young dog who is full of energy and a senior dog who needs a little extra care and attention. We haven’t been comfortable leaving our senior dog alone in years, so trusting someone new with him was a really big deal for us. Kristy was amazing. She was so patient and compassionate with our elderly dog and really took the time to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. She also kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It meant so much to us to know that both of our dogs were in such good hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and felt completely comfortable knowing they had been loved on while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend Kristy and will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Nateece – a lifelong animal lover and full-time pet care provider. I’m a mom of two (ages 9 and 3), and I’ve had pets my entire life. For the past 8 years, I’ve also been caring for other families’ pets and I truly love what I do! -I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds including senior dogs who need special care or daily medication. I’m currently home full-time, so your pet will get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. -I live in a house with a yard (unfenced), so I provide supervised outdoor time and regular walks for plenty of exercise and play. Your pet will also spend time with my one friendly dog, Seyfina and cat, Zelda. Pets are welcome on the couch and bed unless you prefer otherwise—and I always keep fresh water available and tails wagging! - I only board one family at a time, so your dog(s) will get individualized attention. If your pup has any special needs, routines, or favorite toys! just let me know! I’m even happy to give them a bath while they’re here—just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin. - Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to welcome you and your pet into our pack. Let’s play fetch soon! I have a flexible, easygoing schedule. I’m home throughout the day and fully available to walk, feed, and play with your pet whenever needed.

For safety and comfort, I recommend pets be up to date on flea prevention.
“Autumn responded immediately to watch my fur baby while I made an urgent trip to visit my Aunt in the hospital. When I first met her, I saw she was a genuine person who was happy to meet me and our puppy. I needed someone I could trust during a family emergency and her kindness took away a lot of the stress. She even asked about my Aunt. I can't thank her enough for responding to the call and providing the care we needed.”
About: I've always had a way with dogs and all animals, since I was a child. My positive energy and kind spirit brings animals close to me. Through out my entire life I have walked dogs of friends, family and neighbors, just for the fun of it! Dogs bring me joy and spending time with them on walks is my favorite thing to do in my spare time. Seeing their faces light up when they see Miss Laura coming, knowing they are going on an adventure, brightens my day! Fresh air and exercise is the best recipe to a happy pup! Allow me the opportunity to help out with your fury friend when life gets hectic and a long walk cant fit into your daily schedule. Thank you and have a great day! I have an open schedule for the most part and taking walks is part of my daily routine, spending it with an animal would be great! I will be just walking dogs but safety and trust is important, as I will ensure safe places to walk and proper clean up in residential areas and or parks.
About: Grew up with Maine Coons, Rotties, and one high energy Chessie. When I had a stable place I got my first chocolate lab, he now has a brother who keeps him feeling young! I am currently down here in Jacksonville for awhile part time, my two chocolate boys are not with me at the moment. Available in the mornings, most days of the week. I have afternoon class from noon to about 4, and then available for the rest of the day. Where I am staying allows pets. Fridays can vary, I may be have to go in at 9 but will be out by 11. There is a nice small fenced in area right outside my place, also have plenty of walkable trails and the traffic near my place is almost nonexistent!
“Savannah recently house sat and took care of our two dogs. She was quick to respond, made time to come do a meet and greet and followed thru on taking exceptional care of them. She provided daily photos/updates and gave us comfort knowing our dogs were in great hands while we traveled. We will definitely be reaching out to Savannah again for future dog sitting.”
“ I am very happy with the service Laura provided. I felt comfortable with her taking care of my dogs. She was great with both of them and will book her in the future. ”
“Allyson was amazing taking care of our furry baby!! She sent photos and gave us updates. We are happy to have her care for our Eli whenever she is available! Thank you Allyson!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Haylie! Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine, and I treat every furry friend like part of my own family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle breaks easily fit into my routine, and I’m always close by to make sure they feel safe and cared for. Working from home allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and keep your pet’s day as happy and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets get the same love and care as if they were my own. I create a safe, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I always keep a close eye on them and give them lots of love, care, and companionship.
“Very appreciative of Evan stepping in to sit for our dog and cats. He was very communicative and took great care of our four footed family. Would highly recommend Evan.”
“Kaitlyn stayed at our home with our two dogs for a long weekend and we were very pleased. At the meet and greet she asked good questions and sent messages while we were away. We returned home to a clean place and happy dogs. Will use her again.”
About: I got my first puppy when I was 8 and have been babysitting my sister's 3 dogs whenever she goes on vacation. I'm experienced in giving extra attention to one of her dogs that needs ointments for his allergies and bathing them when needed. Additionally, I'm comfortable handling various pet care tasks, from feeding and walking to playing and administering medications. My dedication to ensuring pets feel loved and well-cared-for sets me apart. I have three cats and one bunny I play with them 3-4 times a day before I go to work and after and feed them on a schedule every 2 days I administer an ointment medicine onto one of my cats eyes to help with his feline agenesis seeing and caring for them is my favorite part of the day I focus on feeding, exercise, and providing attention. I also handle any medication and grooming needs, making sure they feel safe and loved in their environment.
About: I’m very caring, attentive, and responsible. You can count on me to take good care of your pet whenever you need. I’m a trustworthy and reliable person, and I hope we can chat soon! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine.

About: I've been caring for pets of all kinds since I was a little girl. For the last 5 to 6 years I've worked at multiple doggy daycares and boarding facilities. I can handle very large dogs. I can handle dog aggressive dogs, and ones who are potentially aggressive towards humans. I'm trained to administer medication, such as insulin, and ect. If you have any questions for me feel free to ask! I currently drive for uber and doordash so my schedule is pretty flexible, I'm able to work weekdays and weekends. If you need me I can be there! Since I have years of experience in kennel I will follow any specific instructions given to me to care inside your home. I'm super aware of different dogs quirks and different needs.
“Philip was available to meet at the last minute and was very flexible in meeting up to meet my dog. He had responsive communication during the whole time I went out of town . My dog was very happy and well taken care of. I am so glad to find someone to keep my dog for in the future. Thank you Philip!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orange Park
Robyn and Steven are absolutely the best. This was my first time having someone stay at the house so I was very nervous. They were awesome guests and took wonderful care of my two crazy girls. They are excellent communicators and sent daily pictures to keep me at ease. One of the girls got up and walked around looking for them the next morning, so I know they enjoyed their time with them! I absolutely recommend them and will definitely be using them again. Thanks you for taking such great care of the girls! 💕
Dana watched our dogs for us while out of town over the holidays & I can’t say enough great things! Great communication, lots of pictures, & she was so kind & caring. Not only did she take good care of our dogs, but also our home. Highly recommend & hoping she’s available the next time we travel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Orange Park is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 1,369 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orange Park. 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 Orange Park 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 Orange Park 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 Orange Park 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orange Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
