“Sarah was amazing and kept me up to date on my pup throughout the whole weekend and I was nervous my dog wasn’t gunna want to come home because she was having so much fun! Highly recommend her 🐾”
“So we needed Christine again, and she was awesome again. We had a delay due to this government shutdown with our flight and could not get home for an extra day, she was able to keep the dogs an extra day, no issues. She also sent tons of pictures over thier stay, saw that our 1 dog had a loose molar and informed us immediately, she is very observant and very caring to our dogs. If you ever need a sitter and she is available, hands down she is your sitter. I dread using another sitter if she is not ever available.”
“I’m trying to keep this family my secret. Cooper comes home exhausted from playing and snuggling. They send pictures daily to help me from missing our boy. Great team, the whole family helps out and gives care. We will continue to rebook Cooper for doggy vacations with them.”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Charley! We received plenty of pictures and feedback about how our doggy was doing. We’ll definitely book with Rachel again.”
“Super great! One dog sitter. My Rosie got a lot of attention and hugs. She loved her walks. I would definitely use her again! I recommend her who needs one on one care. My Rosie is very spoiled. 😀”
“Laura was great! She was flexible when my flight was rerouted and I was delayed. She sent photos daily and she and her family clearly loved my dog. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“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!”
“Ms. Denise was amazing! Never had to leave my furbaby since adopting her earlier this year. Very hesitant in leaving her with anyone. Ms. Denise sent me constant videos and pics of her. It really put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my vacation. Maddie will absolutely be staying with her again!”
“Oscar just had another wonderful visit with Danielle and her family. They treat him like family and I know he is in the best hands. He is always so excited to hang with his best buddy Nyla.”
“Cat took great care of our toy schnauzer, Toby. He was a happy boy when we picked him up. I knew he'd had a fun time with Cat and her little pug. Your fur babies are in good hands with her.”
“My dog had a nice overnight stay while I was in town doing adult things I couldn’t take my dog with me to while on a road trip. They have a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in and they also sent me pics. I can tell they truly love dogs. Highly recommend.”
“We are repeat clients and are very grateful for the extra attention and care that Taqueria and her family gave Riley when she became unwell during our out of town trip. She is definitely a patient, caring and responsible!”
“Such a great experience with Mariana. Great communication before and during this visit! I can tell Gunner had a great time and came home exhausted! Thank you for taking such excellent care of him!”

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.
We were very happy with Brittany and her family! They cared for Avery like he was their own. You can tell they really care for the dogs they take it, we couldn’t ask to have felt better about leaving our dog with them. Brittany kept us up to date with pictures, and Avery seemed very happy. We will be using again in the future.
Rylea was absolutely wonderful with Honey! She took her to the beach, checked in with me multiple times, and made me feel so at ease while I was away. She’s incredibly sweet and it was clear Honey was so well cared for. Five stars all around, will definitely be using her again!
Katie did a fantastic job caring for my dog for doggie day care (8-4). She was on time for both drop off and pick up. She kept me informed throughout the day and sent great pictures. Katie provides a work from home, no dog, no kids house which is perfect for my spoiled older terrier. The yard was a nice bonus. Katie can dog-sit my dog any time.
Kat and MaMa Joyce took excellent care of our Lil Zeus. Great daily communication with photos included. We didn’t have to worry at all. Great caregiver hands down. Truly appreciate your kindness and compassion towards our Baby. We will definitely stay in touch. If you’re looking for care, comfort and compassion for your fur babies without worry. Kat is the best choice ever!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Saint Augustine sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Saint Augustine landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
