About: What sets me apart is my real-life, long-term experience caring for dogs of different breeds and life stages. I currently have a Shiba Inu and previously raised a Bichon Frise who lived to 16, so I understand both high-energy dogs and the extra patience and attention needed for senior pets. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and timely care. I follow routines closely, pay attention to small changes in behavior, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I also have experience pet sitting for friends during holidays and am comfortable with walks, overnight stays, and boarding. I’m reliable with communication and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Hi! I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a Shiba Inu and previously raised a Bichon Frise who lived to 16, which gave me experience with both energetic dogs and senior pet care. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of patience, routine, and creating a calm environment that helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Because I’m home most of the day while taking care of my family, I’m able to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. I have also helped friends with pet sitting during holidays, and I’m comfortable with boarding, overnight stays, and dog walking. I always follow instructions carefully and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My house has a fully fenced yard and a small grassy area, so pets can safely enjoy outdoor time without any risk of running off. During the day, pets are welcome to relax and spend time outside in the yard, where they can enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a calm and peaceful setting. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety and comfort. Inside the home, pets have a clean and quiet space where they can rest and feel secure. I maintain a calm environment and follow each pet’s routine to help them feel at home while staying with me.

“The kitties were well fed and happy with Celine. The only problem was the litter box not cleaned properly. The large amount of gunky potent urine became very malodorous and attracted several gnats. It was difficult to scrape up the litter upon our return because it was one giant wet heavy clump stuck to the entire front, side and bottom of the box. I think maybe she only scooped the poopoos out and didn’t quite understand. I realize litter is not an easy chore and appreciate the effort.”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all kinds — different breeds, backgrounds, and personalities. My family has adopted, rescued, and welcomed pups in need of a loving home. Now that I’m away at college, I miss having furry friends around, so any dog I’m lucky enough to care for will be loved like my own. i am currently available in the mornings and evenings!! I am around some weekends but not many all so weekdays work well for me, but I am flexible and very open to communication and working something out if needed! I have always been taught to clean the place that I leave cleaner than I found it so you can always expect that with my work. I consistently strive to do my best in any of my work so you can rely on a responsible and reliable worker. Most importantly I would treat the animal as if they were my own!

About: I am a reliable, patient, and flexible pet sitter who generally loves animals of all kinds! With years of experience I provide safe, loving and personalized care to ensure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after while you’re away :) I work full-time at an office during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings and fully available on weekends. Since moving from GA to CA, I haven’t been able to bring my own dog with me, so caring for someone else’s pet brings me real joy! Pet care fits naturally into my routine whether it’s evening walks, feeding, or playtime it’s a meaningful way for me to stay connected to animals and share my genuine love for them. I’ll keep your pet safe and happy by following your instructions and treating them like my own. Being a pet owner myself I know how important it is to make them feel comfortable at home!

About: I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats for over 15 years. I’ve also provided house and pet-sitting services, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and other care needs. I also make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment and plenty of attention. Most importantly, I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

About: I have grown up with dogs ever since I was born! I’ve have grown to love them more and more and since I’ve gone off to college I haven’t been able to have my own dog. I love every size and breed. I will make sure to match your dog’s energy whether it’s going on walks or just wanting cuddles. I am super available and wouldn’t mind working my schedule around watching your pets. I don’t mind waking up early to come see them or coming in late. I live in a one bedroom apartment, I watch my cat when she goes out on the deck but there also is a doggy park in my complex.

About: *Vienna Chan will be the only one providing any dog training services* My partner and I are passionate dog lovers and aspiring full-time dog trainers who grew up with them before raising our own mini Australian Shepherd pup, Pixie. My last dog, Daisy, was old with health issues when she passed so I have experience administering oral medication and caring for a senior dog. We are huge believers of humane training methods and believe that the mental health of our furry companions is just as important as their physical one. We are also very active and love to take Pixie out on walks, runs, hikes, and fetch sessions so if your dog is high-energy they'll fit right in with our lifestyle. If they're low-energy, that works too! One of us can stay home and chill with the dog all day. :) We are the go-to for all our dog friends, and have cared for all sorts of dogs, from a young corgi pup to a senior black lab. Pixie is also always very happy to have a playmate over, and gets along with any friendly dog. We also understand that no dog is perfect - If your dog has a specific training regime or triggers, we will happily adjust our care and schedule in order to accommodate any dog. My partner and I have flexible schedules that allow at least one of us to be home 24/7 Fri-Sun to watch your pup. On weekends we enjoy bringing Pixie along so if your pup is up for it we may take them out for an adventure! We live in a two story condo with a small front and back yard. The community we live in is very safe and dog friendly, with plenty of nearby parks (that we frequent daily!) and even two fenced in enclosures on both sides of the complex where dogs can play off leash.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since 2022, when I realized that I was not in a place to have my own dog/cat. So, I decided to help out others with their pet sitting needs, to provide a service as well as be around furry friends again! It truly is something that brings me much joy, and I love every opportunity I get to hang out with dogs and cats alike. I currently work during the day with a mixture of weekday/weekend days, so I let the dogs out after an 8-hour shift. If the dog needs to go out more than that, I will try to be as flexible as possible to adhere to your needs. For my client’s home, I understand that I am residing in someone else’s space, so treat it as such. I believe the dog/cat is most comfortable in their regular setting, this maintain all cleanliness and care for the home included in my price.

We were nervous about leaving our two cats, Smokey and Everest, alone for a month while we traveled, but Brian put our minds at ease from the very first visit. He followed all of our instructions perfectly and always responded quickly to messages. He sent photos every day, and it was so nice watching our cats go from shy to clearly comfortable with him, you could tell they really liked him. Thanks to Brian, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing the cats were in great hands. He was also incredibly flexible, accommodating changes to dates and times on short notice, even mid-trip, and always responded fast. We’re so glad we found someone who was the right fit for our cats, and we’ll definitely be booking him again for future trips.

I had a last minute request for drop-in kitty feeding - with a complicated entry into the house - Shannan accepted the responsibility and went above expectations, she was exceptionally caring to Bella and had zero issues figuring out how to provide service. I have been a Rover sitter myself for 5 years, I can honestly say now I understand the value of asking for help and receiving peace of mind and the effort a sitter gives to care for pets. I HIGHLY recommend Shannan🌸 she is top notch as a Rover sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Orange Park Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orange Park Acres is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 11,736 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orange Park Acres. 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 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 Orange Park Acres. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
