“Joanne is wonderful! We’ve used her multiple times and she has been so great to our pup every time. She’s always on time, quick to respond and sends pictures :) highly recommend!!”
“We were so grateful to have been able to meet and book Trisha at the last minute! She was so accommodating to stay with our new rescue dog who has some separation anxiety, and as well as our cat. She was prompt, easy to work with and great at communicating & sending photos. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
About: Caring for your furry children like family while you’re away! Hi! I’m Carter. I was blessed with my dog Ruger as I graduated high school 6 years ago. Since then, Ruger and I both graduated from Florida State University, where he was our fraternity house dog. After recently relocating to Jacksonville Beach, I am now available for all your pet sitting needs. I work remotely during the week and am available for pop-ins, overnight stays, or extended vacations. Located right near the beach, I can easily make it over to Jacksonville metro on short time frames. I treat everyone’s pets like my own. As a dog owner myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your furry ones behind, and aim to ease that by devoting my time to give you peace of mind.
“Kadence was awesome with my little crew. She was super attentive to their needs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. I was able to enjoy my time away and not worry about them at all.”
“We have a reactive dog until she gets to know you. Jessica’s knowledge in handling dogs and calm presence helped our dog to get comfortable with her quickly! We will definitely be looking to book Jessica again the next time we need a dog/house sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pupper!”
“We’ve used Taylor multiple times for our pet family. Our animals are everything to us and we trust Taylor completely. My older dog gets really down when we leave and Taylor always sends us updates on her and tries her best to make her feel comfortable. She also makes sure she gets her medication + is fed separately from our other dog. All in all, we have a little bit of a high maintenance household and Taylor keeps them safe every time 💗”
“Savannah provided great communication prior to our scheduled visit and took good care of my senior dog Gracie. Definitely would book again and recommend to others.”
About: I specialize in high energy and high anxiety dogs. I have taken care of dogs of many ages from puppies to seniors. I currently don’t have pets of my own but I grew up and have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. My work schedule is flexiable and I make my own hours. I would work with the client and see what are their needs and I would tailor my schedule based around that. I will build trust with the pet first. Follow instructions of the client and work with the pet and make sure it’s needs are taken care off.
“Parker absolutely loved her! Sent photos of my pup to me throughout her visits and went above and beyond! Thank you for helping me out so last minute I APPRECIATE YOU!”
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.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my entire life, both as a pet owner and by helping friends and family with their pets. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. I also have experience caring for senior and geriatric dogs, so I understand the patience, attention, and extra care they often need. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or older and needs a gentler approach, I will treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets, whether that means walks, playtime, or extra attention and care. I am available Monday through Sunday and can work with a variety of schedules to help meet your pet care needs. I will give your dog or cat my full attention during every visit, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to each dog’s safety, comfort, and individual needs during every walk.
“Mackenna was an absolute dream with my two elderly dogs. Previous to our trip, one of our pups had major surgery on her back paw and had to wear a cast and take many different medications. Mackenna handled all of that tremendously! We know it was a lot of work and we were so grateful to her! We will definitely request her again! Thanks Mackenna for everything!”
About: I was born and raised alongside furry friends so I am an animal lover by nature. I have 4 cats and a dog of my own which I love as my family. In my free time, I enjoy giving back to animals any way I can. I work at my main job during the evening between 4 PM and 9 PM which allows me to spend the majority of the day with your animals. I will treat your pets as I would treat my own, like family. I love spending time with animals and enjoy caretaking as a whole. I always respect my client’s homes and their pets needs.
“Bella was great! She communicated well throughout the weekend and sent lots of pics. It sounds like my dog had a great time! She also followed up at the end of the visit before she left, since I was getting home after she was heading out. Thank you again, I will definitely book Bella again!”
About: With years of hands-on experience, I confidently manage everything from senior dogs requiring precise medication schedules and gentle mobility adjustments to high-energy pups needing vigorous exercise and playful stimulation. I adapt seamlessly to your pet's specific routine, offering structured, attentive care that keeps aging companions comfortable and younger dogs happily exhausted. Your fur baby's safety, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently have a full time position so through the week I am unavailable between 9am - 5pm. That said my full time job is unconventional in the sense I could go in later or leave earlier if needed! I am fully available Saturday and Sunday. Whether I am welcoming a pet into my own space or staying at a client's home, safety, open communication, and absolute respect for the environment are my top priorities. In Your Home (House Sitting & Drop-Ins) I treat your home with the utmost respect, treating it exactly as I would want my own to be treated. When providing overnight house sitting, I follow a strict "leave no trace" policy. Before you return, I will always: Wash the used sheets and towels. Deep clean the kitchen and ensure all dishes are put away. Take out the trash so you return to a fresh, welcoming space. Your pet’s physical and mental well-being is the core of my service. I don't just "watch" pets; I engage them. My care routine includes: Enriching Walks: I love taking dogs on structured, mentally stimulating walks where they can safely explore and sniff, which helps burn off mental anxiety and physical energy. Consistency: I strictly maintain any training commands, dietary schedules, and house rules you have in place to ensure your pet feels secure and routine-bound while you are away. Quality Playtime: For both dogs and cats, I dedicate focused time to interactive play (like puzzle toys, wand toys, or fetch) to keep them happy and engaged.
“Gabbi is the best! She stayed at my place with my dog-like cat for a little over a week. She sent me daily updates and pictures which warmed my heart. It’s hard leaving our fur babies but with Gabbi know they are in great hands.”
“Hannah did a great job! My dogs love her. She was very attentive and dependable. Very professional yet obviously loves pets. And knowledgeable about things. I will definitely use her as our sitter the next time we need someone.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ponte Vedra Beach is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ponte Vedra Beach
Trisha was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel so much better about traveling, knowing our fur babies were being snuggled, loved on, and so well cared for while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. We can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Trisha, for taking such amazing care of our babies!
Olivia was awesome! I submitted a last minute request and she picked it up within minutes! She was very communicative and kept me updated throughout the stay. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and then some. I could tell my baby was well taken care of over the weekend!
Mackenna was an absolute dream with my two elderly dogs. Previous to our trip, one of our pups had major surgery on her back paw and had to wear a cast and take many different medications. Mackenna handled all of that tremendously! We know it was a lot of work and we were so grateful to her! We will definitely request her again! Thanks Mackenna for everything!
Nataley was fantastic! She stayed overnight with our 2 year old pup, Frankie, and everything went smoothly. She provided frequent updates with plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Frankie was well cared for and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. Natalie is a trustworthy, reliable dog sitter and we look forward to using her services again in the future.
Presley was fantastic! She took great care of our dog and home while we were away. Communication was excellent, and we came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable pet care.
Samantha is consistently reliable, conscientious, and intuitive with animals. While keeping my puppy and senior golden for two nights, she communicated often and sent some great photos of them. I felt at ease on my trip and am so thankful to her for making that possible. She also made sure to tidy things up for when I came home. I highly recommend her for care with your pets. Thank you, Samantha!
Dawn was great. She communicated clearly and gave me daily updates which was wonderful. She left the house tidy and clean. My two dogs absolutely loved her and I was able to feel at ease while away from them. I am grateful to have found her. Thank you so much Dawn!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ponte Vedra Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ponte Vedra Beach on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,490 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ponte Vedra Beach. 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 Ponte Vedra Beach 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 Ponte Vedra Beach 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 Ponte Vedra Beach 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
