Look after dogs in Jacksonville and set your own rate

Choose as many services as you want to cover. In Jacksonville, dog sitting and dog walking sit side by side on one profile with separate rates, so a quiet week in one does not mean a quiet week overall.

Dog boarding on Petme in Jacksonville runs $35 to $62 per night, with daycare and walks adding daytime income. You set your own rate per service, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.

Yes. Petme recruits sitters across Jacksonville year-round, from Riverside to Avondale, and owners send booking requests directly to sitters in their area. There is no vacancy list to wait on: you create a profile, set the areas you cover, and accept the requests you want.

No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you can start without formal experience: you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.

It fits part-time schedules well because you are self-employed: no assigned shifts, no minimum hours, and you set your own rate. Many Jacksonville sitters take a few bookings a week around a job or studies and scale up or down as their calendar allows.

Every confirmed Petme booking, including boarding and daycare, includes $22,000 in Protection Plan for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies across Riverside and Avondale.

Demand peaks in summer (June to August), over Thanksgiving, and through the December holidays, with the Florida-Georgia football weekend in early November adding a reliable annual spike. That pattern shapes dog sitting bookings in Jacksonville across the year. Jacksonville summers are hot and humid, and Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November.

No formal qualification is required. You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Experience helps you win your first dog sitting bookings in Jacksonville, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, on your profile.

Owners in Jacksonville mostly keep Labrador, Goldendoodle, French Bulldog, Boxer, rescue mixes. Saying on your profile which of those you have looked after helps owners choose you, because most are looking for someone already comfortable with their dog's size and energy.
