About: I have owned dogs all of my life and understand that they are family members and should be treated as such! I love all dogs from big to small and young to old. While I do not have any pets of my own right now, I would love to help care for yours whether it be feeding, walking, playing, loving on them or more. I am currently off for the summer leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. From August to May, I work 2 days a week so I will still have plenty of availability. I have two daughters who live with me part time ages 9 and 7 who love pets as well. I would love to care for your pets as you see fit in your home! Just let me know their daily routine and I can accommodate.

About: I've taken care of animals who needed insulin twice a day, I grew up taking care of the cat who gave birth in my apartment and I've always had an animal in my life, they deserve all the vacay time you get! I currently am studying to work from home and I do most of my studying online, if you have wifi or a little cafe close to home I can give your pet(s) all the care they need! I've been with crated animals as well as animals who have their own bed they sleep in every night I'm used to routine and am good at adapting to their schedule!

Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!

About: Caring for all animals. Fur babies large and small. Young and old alike. Barn animals… horses,mini horses,goats chickens and donkeys. Of course your kitty too. We do reptiles. Finding one’s self with little to do after retirement, caring for animals just fit in so well and what a stress reliever these fur babies are. 😄 I have double fenced in areas, with all sizes of houses. My preference is to care for animals in their own environments. They are Less stressed at home.😉

About: I have been a dog owner myself. I had 10 great years with my cattle dog named Magenta. She was an explorer and adventurer by my side. I am a counselor, nature lover, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I am also an artist, writer, and traveler. I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me to pet sit part time and enjoy connecting with pets. I grew up in Montana and Wyoming, spent time in Spain, Costa Rica, Colorado, and more. I am grateful to be living close to the mountains. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work from home as a counselor and spend a lot of time with the pups I love getting out for walks to break up the day, and caring for your pets is top of mind. As each situation varies a bit, the prices may not be exactly accurate when quoted. Please inquire. I am available to pet and house sit in your home. I have 15 years of experience pet and house sitting, and treat your space with the same level of cleanliness, care, and respect as I would my own. I am clean and tidy and will leave your home the way I find it.

About: If there's anything that I can brighten my day, it's seeing a happy dog! Since I was young I have always had a soft heart for all animals. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, and I will advocate for them however I can. I have cared for many dogs of my own over the years, as well as for others. Your fur babies will get as much love as I give my own. Caring for animals has always brought me a deep sense of comfort and joy. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets or those who need a little extra attention, patience, and care. I recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years to cutaneous lymphoma, which required attentive, around-the-clock care, including carefully timed medications and a thoughtfully managed diet tailored to his health needs. He was truly a member of my family, and his loss has left a significant space in my life—one of the reasons I’ve chosen to join Rover. I’m very attentive, protective, and detail-oriented when it comes to an animal’s well-being. My experience has also led me to learn extensively about canine health, particularly cancer prevention and supportive care. Caring for animals is important to me, as I know completely how worrisome it can be to give your baby to someone else and hope they get the same love and care. I have always been very cautious with my pets in any situation and this is one of the reasons I joined Rover. I understand the nervousness of giving someone else the responsibility of your beloved pet, and if I can be that relief to someone else then I would love to! The attention, detail, and care I put into them reflects my fees. Since my dog has passed, I truly miss the simple joys of daily walks and spending time outside with a dog, and I look forward to providing loving, reliable care for yours. I currently work on a project basis and have full availability, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and play. I don’t have other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m home most of the day, providing a calm and consistent environment. I also enjoy taking walks, especially when visiting family in the Four Hills area, which offers great opportunities for outdoor time. I do go to the gym regularly, but I’m typically only away for about an hour, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special requests. I’m attentive to details, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and provide regular updates so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I have also been accepted as an APS substitute teacher, so I have passed an extensive background check. Along with dog sitting, my background also includes a professional career in the film industry, teaching English in Spain with families, and caring for a farm in Hawaii. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment with plenty of supervision, comfort, and affection. I ensure pets have a safe space to relax, access to fresh water, and appropriate exercise and enrichment based on their energy level and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I’m mindful during walks (leash safety, surroundings, avoiding hazards), and I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior or higher-needs pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Augustine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Augustine on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Augustine. 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 Augustine 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 Augustine 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 Augustine 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Augustine. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
