“Sarah was wonderful. We left town for a week and I was nervous because Bella had the same sitter for the last 10 years. She's now 16 and not used to new people. I didn't need to worry though Bella was just fine. She fit right in with Sarah and her kids. She was very patient with her. Bella requires a couple of meds and she had no problem with that. Sent periodic updates and pictures. I'm very happy and grateful. I'll definitely use Sarah again!”
“Soo thankful to have found Diane!! We just moved here and were looking for a great spot for our small Cavapoo, and we found it! Diane is so responsive, caring, and her home is perfect for a fur child.”
“Amelia and her family were absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I were on the way to Jacksonville for a weekend trip, and realized last minute that our stay did not allow pets. Amelia responded immediately and was very helpful and friendly! Throughout his stay she sent many pictures and videos of our Stanley having a ball with her other dog and children. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be reaching out to her!”
“I left my Goldendoodle with Eric for 4 days. He was very good at communicating, sending videos and photos. I wasn’t worried at all.I really enjoyed my boarding experience with Eric. Thanks for taking good care of my dog.”
“Moka had another great stay with Danielle! Besides being a great sitter, Danielle is a wonderful photographer and I received many photos and videos that showed me what a good time Moka was having. Danielle is a conscientious sitter for Moka, ensuring a regular meal schedule and maintaining Moka's two diabetes insulin injections daily. I am extremely happy with Danielle's conscientious care, which allows me to enjoy time away without worry.”
“Rebecca and Michael were amazing! I had no worries while my fur baby was staying with them. They sent me lots of pictures of their activities and always made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend them!”
“We met Mariana for the first time and had a great experience! Mariana was kind enough to send me pictures and updates as I was a bit nervous to leave my baby!! We will book with her again!!”
“Kira was great with our pups and sent pictures every day. Super convenient with driving them with pick up and drop off as well. Super helpful with our crazy household.”
“Madison has watched my dog several times and every time is great. She sends me pictures everyday to keep me in the loop on how my dog is doing. Drop off and pick up are so easy. I highly recommend Madison.”
“I’m so grateful I came across Daisy and her family. They watched my dog over the weekend and took amazing care of her. It was clear she was treated like part of the family, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Daisy kept me updated, and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“This was our second time using Brian and Ingrid to watch our dog. As we pulled up to the house, Marty cried and got excited to get out of the car. That let me know he enjoyed his stay last time (several months ago). Thank you for always taking such good care of him.”
“We left our fur baby Emma with Yessica and Raymond for a week and we are so happy with how everything was. Yessica was so sweet and helped calm all my nerves with leaving Emma since we have never been away from her since we got her. Yessica made sure to send us daily updates on our Emma and pictures. Those updates made me have a worry free vacation knowing that she was left in good hands. Emma had the time of her life during her stay she was comfortable and felt at home. We will definitely be using Yessica and Raymond every time! Thank you so much Yessica!!”
“Vicky and family did an excellent job watching Frodo. They were very accommodating and made Frodo welcome in their home. Vicky was flexible with the drop off and pick up schedule. Thank you Vicky for watching Frodo for us. It was nice knowing he was well cared for. Thanks for keeping us updated with the pictures you sent and we hope to see you again.”
“I had such a wonderful experience booking with Nancy! I have two elderly dogs that I don’t want stressed when I have to leave town, but they seemed at ease with Nancy and her sweet pups. She has a great yard that’s all fenced in, great with communication and I got daily pics of my doggos relaxing with her. After I picked up my dogs and brought them home after my trip they weren’t stressed at all, which is perfect. I highly recommend Nancy and will be booking with her again for future trips!”
“Mariia and her family were excellent! They took such a great care about my little furry friend. Mariia sent me messages and pictures almost every day. I knew he was in good hands. Will definitely book again! ☺️”
About: I have taken care of dogs on and off for people on my neighborhood. I also am a college student, so I take care of most dogs that are on my campus. I have a job that I am at about 5 hours almost 5 times a week that I can adjust my schedule if I need to and I am available everyday of the week. When I take care of dogs, I make sure I always have my eyes on them and make sure they are taken out enough and walk or run long enough
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Saint Augustine is $42
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine
Diane was wonderful .It was my first time using Rover com and leaving my dog. She put me at ease right away. She sent me updates and pictures daily .She gave her lots of love and care. I could tell right away that my dog was comfortable with her. She is a lap dog and loves having her belly scratched. Dianne did all those things with her. She even let her sleep with her. I will definitely use her again.
Sarah was professional, friendly, and reliable! She was able to accommodate a shifting the pick up time due to flight delays and it was awesome to have Abby in a home with a loving family where she was loved and cared for. I will be utilizing Sarah boarding services in the future!
I was happy to find Leanna to care for our 14 yr old little man while we were away for 11 days. She was attentive to some eye care he needed and took him to a vet appt that was necessary. He ate well after a day of moping and was in good spirits and happy to see us when we came to pick him up, which was a good sign he adjusted well during his stay. Leanna kept us updated daily on how he was doing, so we did not have to worry about his care. We will be using Leanna again and I recommend you do as well.
This is the first time I've left my dogs with Lorrie and I'll admit to being a little nervous. I was worried because my dogs get to come to work with me and are never alone for more than three or 4 hours at a time. Additionally, we were going to be gone 9 days and be out of the country. Finding someone who would take the dogs for that long was a bit of a challenge. Lorrie was very understanding and we had a meet and greet in her home so my dogs could meet her dogs. Note: she's got a beautiful fenced in backyard! Once that meeting went well, I booked a short afternoon stay so that my dogs could become more familiar with her and her dogs. They seem to have a good time so we confirmed our big trip. After we dropped the dogs off and all throughout the time we were gone, Lori sent pictures and on one occasion a short video. That communication was very much appreciated. When we got back and picked the dogs up she had given them a bath and had them ready to go. Thank you, Lorrie, for providing a safe and fun environment for our dogs. I would highly recommend you.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Saint Augustine can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Augustine home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saint Augustine.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Augustine. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Saint Augustine sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
