“I told Mary how nervous I was about her walking Hank because he is so reactive to other dogs and people she is amazing and so caring and made me feel sooo comfortable. 1000% recommend trusting her with your sweet pets!”
“Absolutely amazing caretaker! Highly recommend. We still have visits left with Heather, but I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to leave a 5-Star Review! Thank you, Heather!”
About: Hello! I'm Molly and I'd be honored to care for your four-legged family members! I've taken care of pets for 25+ years. Caring for dogs/cats of all sizes, breeds and behaviors is my true love and passion. I am a fun-loving, experienced professional, and will love your fur-children/family member as if they are my own. I provide service to St. Johns & Flagler county pet families 7 days a week. My schedule is flexible to accommodate and ensure your sweet baby receives the personal attention he/she deserves. I believe every individual pet is unique and special. I follow the lead of what each pet parent wants for their sweet fur-baby. Older or more seniors dogs may need some company, cuddles and a short walk. Young active pups may need long walks in their neighborhood or local park. I think what matters most is trust -and that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved until you get home.
“Briana is great! She was a very last minute booking because the 1st person I contacted ghosted after saying earlier in the week they would watch Moose and the 2nd was busy. 3rd time was the charm though!She responded super quick and was able to accommodate the day of which I was super grateful for!”
About: I’m dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always have peace of mind while away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for instead of treating them like “just another booking.” I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including: * Puppies who need patience, consistency, potty breaks, and structure * Senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, medication reminders, or gentle care * Shy or anxious pets who need time, calm energy, and reassurance * Active dogs who benefit from playtime, walks, and engagement I just moved from New Jersey to St. Augustine. I use to pet sit and walk dogs for my neighbors so looking to build my client list here! I have full time availability. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for like family. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions from the owner to help them feel secure while you’re away. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel connected and reassured.

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence. I currently care for five dogs of my own, all with different personalities and needs, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, walks, feeding schedules, medications and individual care. I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.
About: I have worked at a doggy boarding and daycare facility for eight years. I have been managing for three of those eight years. I have cared for numerous breeds and dogs of all ages. I do have a soft spot for elderly dogs, but do love walking and playing with younger, energetic dogs as well. As a result of my years of experience, I am capable of giving all forms of medication, making meals (dry, canned, homemade, raw, etc), and I have worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I have started this little business because I have seen how much happier pets are when they are cozy at home compared to a boarding facility, especially if they are prone to anxiety when they are away from home. I, myself, own a corgi named Clancy. He is a very happy little boy. I am off from my other job from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday. I have appointments every other Thursday from 11 to 1:30, but aside from that, I'm free. Walking and drop-ins work best for my schedule as they are the most flexible jobs offered here. I will walk your dogs wherever you feel comfortable. If they have a beloved route, I will keep them on it. During drop-ins, I will adhere to any instructions you have. At my place of work, I follow food and care instructions (that always vary) daily.
“Colin was fantastic and helped us out when we needed a last minute sitter for our dog Oakley. He took great care of him and our minds were at ease knowing Oakley was in good hands while we were away.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
About: Hi, I’m Catie! I work full-time from home and love spending my free time outdoors with animals whenever I can. My family and friends joke that I “disappear” in public because I’ll stop to greet every dog I see or, if I’m out on a run, I’ll randomly pause just to say hi to cats sitting outside along the way. Being active and around pets is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes pet care a natural fit for me. I take care instructions seriously and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, stays on their normal routine, and is happy and well cared for. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and those with special health needs. I’m comfortable with senior care, special diets, and helping animals who need extra patience to warm up. I also have volunteer experience with a rescue organization, along with hands-on experience administering medications and managing special diets. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature to me, and I understand how important cleanliness and consistency are for cats. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to adjust my availability as needed. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and clear communication. I’m basically that person who can’t resist taking pictures of photogenic pets, so expect a lot of cute photo spam too. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own and am used to keeping up with schedules, routines, and all the day-to-day care that comes with them. Since I work from home, I also have the flexibility to fit visits into my day more easily than someone with a more structured work schedule. I’m very intuitive with animals and usually pick up quickly on their moods, comfort levels, and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow their usual routine as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box care, and any other instructions. I also pay close attention to behavior and comfort to make sure they’re getting the care and attention they need while their favorite human is away.
About: I’ve volunteered several summers in row washing kennels and food bowls playing with the kittens and post them on social media to help get them adopted. I have two dogs of my own and have taken care of multiple animals at once. I can and will gladly work any day and I will care for your furry family as if they are my own. Your furry friends are safe in my care! However, I do work a 1-10pm job, typical 8 hour shifts! I take my dog for regular walks and to the groomers I brush him daily and make sure he is comfortable in his harness and leash. I am able to effectively use commands that your dog is used to. And can give tips are effective ways of to teach commands and keeping them safe and happy.
“It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous leaving Chester for a week. It was reassuring getting all the photos and updates and Sam was quick to respond. I could tell Chester was well taken care of and was in great hands! I would definitely use Sam again to watch Chester!”
About: I am exceptionally good at getting animals to trust me. I give them all the love, affection, treats, playtime, and attention they want and need. I have a special connection and love & for animals. Their innocence and pure love is something I deeply cherish. I haven’t met one otherwise! I would respect the owners home as if it was my own, and treat your baby or (babies) the same! Nothing but love and respect! Not only will I care for your pets, but you will come home to a clean house and a little surprise from your babies. 🖤

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,884 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elkton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elkton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
