“Terri was an absolute sweetheart with my dog Kip, I don’t think it’s possible to have found a better sitter than her considering how difficult the job was. Seriously all the other sitters that I talked to on this app were not capable of caring for her or outright did not want to but Terri was all about it and got the job done with no issues at all, I would highly recommend for any of your animal needs”
“Martha is an amazing Dog Sitter and house sitter. Mocha loved her just like she’s part of the family and I felt very confident that both my Pet and my home were well taken care of while I was away. I feel like Martha will be a longtime friend for both me and Mocha. My house was spotless when I returned. I highly recommend Martha.”
“Morgan recently held down our pet-centered "fort" for four days. Before our departure date, Morgan came by (arriving on time!) for a tour and run-through of our pets' behaviors, meal times, and idiosyncrasies. She took copious notes, asked a lot of questions and was clearly comfortable with the crew. We left feeling very comfortable that our kids were in great hands. Morgan did not disappoint! She was magnificent! She kept us informed of what our two cats and Rhodesian Ridgeback were up to, how meal times were going, etc. She frequently sent photos, which enhanced our sense that all were having no problem with a new person in the house. Without question, we will schedule Morgan for future pet sitting !! A 5-star caretaker!!!”
“Stephanie is outstanding!!!! She took care of all our animals, she was super sweet with them and they all clearly *loved* her! She went above and beyond in caring for them and helped me stay consistent with any of their special needs and catered to their quirks. She sent me tons of cute pictures and videos of them all at least twice a day 🥰 and was consistently communicative, which helped me just enjoy my trip and be able to rest assured about whether the animals were happy, safe, and comfy - something I'm always worried about that I actually didn't feel worried about this time. The house was just as we'd left it, and I think everyone actually misses her. 💕 But, she's amazing - I definitely recommend booking with her (unless it's when I'm out of town lol!).”
About: I’m a dependable, caring, and responsible pet lover who understands how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for when you’re away. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, keeping up with feeding and walking schedules, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment. I’m also very reliable when it comes to communication, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship during the day, or someone trustworthy to care for your home and pets while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and am used to planning my day around the needs of others. I’m able to make time for regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I’m very organized and dependable, so I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I also enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so walks and visits are something I genuinely look forward to rather than something I have to fit in. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is kept as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications if needed, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I make sure everything is kept clean, secure, and comfortable while you’re away. I also give pets plenty of attention and affection while still respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jade was such a great dog sitter! She stayed at our house and watched both of our dogs. They are very energetic and require a lot of exercise and Jade delivered! She was very responsive and very caring as well! Jade will treat your dogs as if they were her own!”
“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 absolutely love dogs and am always happy to give them the attention they need! Whether they’re looking for someone to run around and play with, go on an adventure, or simply curl up and get endless belly rubs, I’m there for them. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know their personality and figuring out exactly what makes their tail wag! I am currently part-time so I have extra time to spend providing care to your fur babies! However even when I am full-time, I have a flexible schedule! I make sure their environment is safe and remains safe! I want them to stay in their routine and feel comfortable in their own home!
“So this was our first time using a Pet sitter and I was extremely anxious as we have a puppy we were leaving for the first time, a very skittish dog and one other dog that’s totally fine with anybody. I cannot say enough good things about Teresa, she came to our house twice before the actual gig started and we got multiple updates and communication throughout her stay. Our dogs were well looked after and well loved. I would highly recommend Teresa and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Joyce was awesome. She was kind enough to come very early in the morning and stay with my pupster. She communicated very well, sent updates and was absolutely a rock star in caring for my Boston Terrier. Additionally, my dog loved Joyce as soon as she walked in the door and honestly, I trust my dog’s opinion about people 100%. Would absolutely recommend Joyce to care for your fur-babies!”
“ashley was wonderful and worked very very well with me when plans changed and a flight cancelled on me. i know my babies were spoiled so much and loved having her! i will for sure be booking her again in the future!”
About: If you are seeking the best home away from home experience for your pet than look no further. Here at our modern 4,500 square foot home on ½ acre your baby will become a member of our family. He or she has full access to anywhere in the house or backyard so long as they are in close proximity to family. At no point will your pet ever be alone without a human nearby. Your baby will receive one-on-one attention and to ensure this we will typically not take more than 3 dog families. All our four-legged guests are expected to curl next to us on the sofa or lay nearby on the cool tile while we watch television. They will sleep in cozy pet beds in our bedroom or if they prefer snuggle next to us in our beds. They will receive custom baked dog cookies, gourmet treats, or non-rawhide bones. Most importantly they will receive lots of stimulation, attention, and love. The lucky pets who get to stay with us have access to six members of the family. My husband, Joe, and I are retired and we have the time to dedicate to our guests. Joe generally spends more time with the larger dogs. He is ex-military and the dogs that prefer structure, discipline, and exercise gravitate to him. My kids call me “the pied-piper of dogs” and usually the smaller to middle sized dogs follow me around since I am the one who feeds them and provides long belly rubs and behind the ear scratches. My college-aged daughter lavishes her time on the puppies and typically whisks them away into her bedroom. My 16-year-old son spends many afternoons outside playing fetch with the dogs or wrestling with them in the family room. He takes our higher energy dogs for a 45-minute vigorous walk or run around the neighborhood if requested. My Aunt lives with us and she pitches in to make special meals for our finicky eaters or bake healthy treats. She is integral in keeping the house sanitized and tidy. Lastly is Bosley, our rambunctious Havanese pup, who is the boss. He helps let us know which pets we can accept as our guests. He can be playful but he spends more time napping or munching on his Nylabone. We have set up our pet sitting business to rival and compete with the well-known pet resorts in the area. Dogs can enter and exit the home/yard multiple times a day for no extra charge. The yard is fully-fenced with a shady pergola and a screened in lanai with a doggy door. On warm days we will fill up a small pool for our four-legged guests who enjoy the water. If your pet has over indulged and gotten very dirty we will provide a bath if he/she is cooperative. We take extra precautions to protect our dogs from trying to escape our home or backyard or chewing on things that they shouldn’t. If your dog has health issues or prefers not to be with any of our guests, I can accommodate him/her. There is a second family room upstairs and your dog can lounge while I watch television or complete some daily tasks on the computer. I do this often for our smaller or more sensitive pups. We never charge for extra play or cuddle time. I send multiple photos and videos of your babies everyday and in fact have scheduled FaceTime/WhatsApp calls for owners and their pets. We never crate any guest unless you specifically request it. They are not locked away in a concrete “suite” at night and extra charges will not apply if your pet needs to sleep alone in another room with one of us. If your pet needs that extra dose of personal attention and enjoys human interaction and a family setting we offer a unique experience that few can match. My husband and I are retired and can dedicate attention to our four-legged friends. In addition, my daughter, son, and Aunt all pitch in to help care and lavish attention on every one of our guests. We generally only care for pets in our home. There is always a member of the household watching the pets at all times and more often than not it is my husband or myself.
“Haleigh was so great with all aspects of the booking. I threw a last minute, 1st time meeting, holiday weekend, overnight hang session with Nugget and she did not disappoint. Nugget was still looking for Haleigh for a couple of days after I returned. Thank you Haleigh!”
About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me genuine joy. I’ve had hands-on experience raising my own dog, fostering dogs in need while in Puerto Rico, and caring for my sister-in-law’s dog whenever she’s away. I’m patient, attentive, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’ll treat your furry family member with the same love and care I would give my own! I work online from home, which gives me a flexible daily and weekly schedule to fit pet care into my routine. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving both cats and dogs the attention and companionship they need. I enjoy being around animals because they bring me so much joy and have a calming effect on me, making my days better. Caring for pets is something I genuinely love, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to respect each animal’s personality, needs, and boundaries. I want every pet to feel at ease while their family is away, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their furry family members are in caring hands.
“Darci did an amazing job! We had total peace of mind while we were gone. She commicatef well and respected our dogs and our home! Certainly our favorite house sitter!”
About: Hi everyone! 🐾 I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter and dog walker in the Jacksonville and St. Augustine areas. Caring for animals truly brings me joy, and pet parents can count on me to make sure their furry (and fluffy!) family members are happy, safe, and well cared for. I have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand the importance of meeting each animal’s unique needs, routines, and personality. Creating a calm, loving, and nurturing environment is always my top priority. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and attention to detail. I’m currently available on weekends, Tuesday and Thrusday all day , and with advance notice, I’m happy to discuss flexible or special arrangements whenever possible I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, walks, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. By treating every pet like part of my own family and respecting their individual needs, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and at ease while their parents are away.

Cole did an outstanding job watching our pups. He is a fantastic communicator and made sure that we knew how are dogs were every second of the day. He went above and beyond to make them comfortable and even went the extra mile by cleaning up the house while we were gone! I would recommend Cole to anyone and can’t wait to have him watch the dogs again soon.

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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford 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 Whites Ford 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.
