“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.”
“If I could give Alyssa 100 stars, I absolutely would! I can’t even begin to explain how amazing she was as a pet sitter for my 3-month-old puppy. I was honestly so nervous about leaving my puppy because she’s still so little, but Alyssa made the entire experience so stress-free and reassuring. She was incredibly attentive, sent me updates throughout the day, and made sure my puppy felt loved and cared for. I even have a little pet camera facing my puppy’s crate, and seeing Alyssa playing with, cuddling, and spending time with her all day made me feel so much better. You can genuinely tell that she loves what she does and truly enjoys caring for animals. She went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my puppy. I’m so grateful for how wonderful she was, and I would 100% trust her with my puppy again. Thank you so much, Alyssa! You were absolutely amazing! 🥹🤍”
“Alexa was great! She looked after our dog and cat for a couple nights, and gave us great updates. This was our dogs first time with a house sitter, and she made it a great experience for him!”
“Daniek was great! She took the time out of her schedule to come over beforehand to meet us and the dogs and that made us feel so comfortable! She watched our three dogs (to include a 4 month puppy) for the weekend and did an amazing job. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures and you could tell the pups were having a good time. She left the house neat. Definitely recommend and hope to use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
About: My husband and I have had animals 34 years of our 35 years of marriage. My husband grew up with many animals and each one he meets always especially loves him. He is retired and we are empty nesters now without an animal, so we offered to watch several friends animals when they were on vacation. We enjoyed the experiences so much that a friend suggested we should be official dog and cat sitters, then referred us to this service. I work full time in Ponte Vedra and my husband is retired. He loves animals so he has all day to feed, walk, and play with your dog and cat. When I come home I enjoy playing with them too. When we have watched our friends’ animals, they wrote out instructions that we followed. As former educators, we are very adept at following detailed instructions. The friends left important routine or special needs information and the veterinarian’s contact.
“Great care giver for our dogs. Taylor has an excellent way with our big retrievers. She arrived on time and let us know when she was on the way.. she also gave us an update halfway through the evening. We will definitely ask for her services again.”
“Luz was a fantastic sitter! From the first meet and greet we felt confident that our fur-babies would be cared for as if it were by us. Luz was quick to communicate, sent lots of great photos and videos and spent quality time with our fur-babies with plenty of walks. We were hesitant since this was our first time using Rover, but Luz put all our worries to rest and was truly great!”
“Stephanie should absolutely be ranked a 5 star sitter on Rover. She was the best pet sitter we've ever had. She took excellent care of our pets and maintained consistent communication with pictures letting us know that the life of our pets was unchanged in our absence. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to provision her services for future trips!.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, bunnies, ducks, turtles, and more. Growing up, I was lucky enough to have many different breeds and personalities in my life, including Pugs, Bulldogs, Labs, Corgis, Persian cats, Maine Coons, and tabbies. I’m the kind of person who will stop on the side of the road to help an animal in need, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve pet-sat for family, friends, previous employers, and their families, and I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I’m currently attending college online while working full-time, so I’m looking for pet-sitting opportunities that I can fit around my schedule. I’m flexible and open to overnight stays and weekend care, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pets receive the attention, care, and love they’re used to while you’re away. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets and home are well cared for and kept on their normal routine. I’ll provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or pet areas, give plenty of attention and playtime, and follow any specific instructions you leave for your pets. For dogs, I’m happy to take them on walks, get some exercise in, or even take them to a nearby dog-friendly park for some extra fun. For your home, I’ll keep things clean and tidy, bring in mail and packages, take out trash when needed, water plants, and make sure everything is secure. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I would want someone to give my own, while making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Nataley is an excellent sitter. She house-sat for our two girls, Lucy and bean recently. She was flexible when our flight got delayed and came in super early. Sent us multiple photos of the dogs everyday and was responsible, and responsive to our texts and requests. She communicated with us as needed. She also takes excellent photos!! Very happy we found her. We will definitely be engaging her more. Thank you Nataley!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, we had a variety of dog and cat breeds, so I’m comfortable working with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I also have law-enforcement K9 experience from my time with the Las Vegas Deputy Marshals, where I served as a K9 agitator/decoy and participated in controlled training exercises with working dogs and their handlers. That experience gave me additional insight into canine behavior, body language, handling, and the importance of remaining calm and attentive around dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for many different types of pets and understand that every animal has its own routine and personality. Whether your dog is energetic and needs plenty of activity, prefers a slower pace, or simply wants companionship while you’re away, I’ll follow your instructions and make their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m dependable, active, safety-conscious, and attentive. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I keep my Rover availability updated so I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week based on my schedule. I make every effort to maintain your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, bathroom, and medication schedule so their routine stays as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety is always my first priority. My background includes law enforcement and working with a K9 unit, which gave me experience reading canine behavior, body language, and recognizing situations before they become problems. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, keep dogs properly leashed and secured, and never take unnecessary risks with unfamiliar animals or environments. In your home, I respect your property and your pet’s established routine. You can also expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
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.
“Alexis was a great sitter for my anxious pup, Wrigley. Wrigley usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but in just a couple days he was very comfortable with her. She provided daily updates and even washed the bedding before she left. I would definitely recommend Alexis!”
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 am a positive and enthusiastic pet lover who has been dog sitting off and on since I was a teenager. I recently graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in political communication and have moved back home to Jacksonville. I currently work part time and am looking for a way to make a little extra money. I have a 15-year-old Shih Tzu and a 12-year-old Boxer mix. I have been taking care of my Shih Tzu since I was a child and I adopted my senior Boxer mix in 2023. I am extremely responsible and have been trusted with several jobs, including dog sitting and walking. I have experience with wound care, medicine (including administering eye drops), and bathing both small and large dogs. I live just a 1/2 mile away from the beach which is perfect for walks and playtime. I look forward to loving and caring for your pups just as I care for mine! My work schedule varies and is not consistent but I typically work Tuesday and Friday nights, and sometimes on Sunday or Saturday nights. I’m typically free in the mornings and afternoons. I live in a condo complex with my parents and our two dogs, but they are friendly with other dogs. The surrounding area/neighborhood is beautiful and is just a 1/2 mile from the beach, perfect for walks and playtime.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family, friends, and my own furry friend since I was 11. I’m comfortable with old and young dogs and I ensure that all their needs are met. With me your pets will only get the best attention, excercise, and safest environment. I’m also reliable with communication if you ever need to communicate about scheduling, updates, or special instructions. I’m currently working part time twice a week and will have a lot of time to dedicate to your fur baby’s needs and playtime. I have one friendly dog and live in a gated community in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood. There will be plenty of opportunities for your furry friend to go on walks and rest.
“Haleigh was great. My dog loved her and she kept me updated with how my dog was doing, which is very important to me. I highly recommend Haleigh for anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

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 Sawgrass 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 Sawgrass 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sawgrass 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
