“I had a great experience with Lindsey and would definitely recommend her. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing everything was going well. My dog was happy and well cared for when I got home, and it was clear they received plenty of attention. I’ll definitely use Lindsey again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”
“Shelagh came and let my pup out for a little walk while I was at work and couldn’t come home for lunch. She walked him around and played with him a bit. She followed the directions perfectly and was very communicative. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility and care that pets need. I occasionally walk and help care for friends' dogs and have experience with feeding, exercise, playtime, and providing companionship. I genuinely love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I'll care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits very easily into my daily routine. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, or simply providing companionship, I can adjust my day to meet each pet's needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I always focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and tidy, including cleaning litter boxes or picking up after dogs during walks. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they're away. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and specific needs to ensure they receive the best care possible.
“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.”
“If you're looking for someone to care for your pets, I cannot recommend Shelli enough! She watched our cats while we were away, and she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, so leaving him is always incredibly stressful. We had originally planned to board them, but between the cost and the required vet visit beforehand, it just wasn't the right fit. Shelli completely put our minds at ease. She made sure they were fed, gave insulin exactly as needed, spent time playing with them, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and even cleaned up after one of our cats got sick. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about our fur babies was priceless. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Shelli, for taking such amazing care of our kitties! We will absolutely be using you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
“Michelle was amazing! We’ve never used Rover, but we were out of town and didn’t wanna leave our pups too long while we were off doing fun things. We saw Michelle on Rover and she had great reviews. Even though she was working that day, she took the time to come walk the dogs when she had a break. She was amazing.”
About: I have been dogsitting since I was 13. Since I don’t have a dog of my own Dogsitting gives me the opportunity to get my dog fix. I take care of the animals as if they are my own. For a year I worked at a pet resort. Currently I am a junior at Flagler College. So with my flexible schedule, love for dogs, and need for money, I thought this was a great opportunity. I make sure to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to be respectful and give them a bit of space at first to get to know the pet and their personality.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and staying active outdoors. I cared for my own dog for 7 years and have experience fostering, which taught me how important exercise, attention, and consistency are for pets. I especially enjoy dog walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or some extra attention during the day, I’m committed to providing reliable and loving care. I’m currently a college student home for the summer with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate walks and visits throughout the day. I treat every pet like my own and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m currently a college student at Flagler College, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Per care fits easily into my daily routine since I already go on long daily walks and I am able to give your pet plenty of attention, walks and care throughout the day. I take safety and trust very seriously and always treat every pet like my own. I make sure to follow any instructions carefully, keep a clean and secure environment and communicate regularly so you feel comfortable while your away.
About: I’ve always had dogs of my own and truly see them as family. I’m used to the everyday stuff—walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love—and I know how much the little routines matter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own, I’d love to help. I’m new to the area and have lots of free time, so pet care easily fits into my day. I love being outside and see walking dogs as a great way to explore the neighborhood while giving them the exercise and attention they need. Since my schedule is wide open, I can be flexible and available when you need me. When I do drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and some extra love and attention. For walks, I’ll match your dog’s energy, whether that’s a long stroll to burn off energy or a shorter walk for a slower pace. I always treat pets like they’re my own and follow any routines or instructions you leave for me.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and regularly care for my children’s pets. Patient, gentle, and loving with pets of all ages. I especially enjoy puppies and kittens and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I am retired, so I have plenty of time and lots of love to give. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to give your pets the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. I follow each pet’s routine, keep doors securely closed, provide fresh water and care, and make sure pets are safe, loved, comfortable, and never rushed.
About: I am a true dog lover. I have been taking care of pets for over 30 years. I have had 7 dogs of my own and my last 2 lived to be 17 and 19 years; a testament to the wonderful care that I provide them. I am experienced in all aspects of pet care, including house breaking, behavioral training, health issues, medication dispensing, and geriatric care. But most importantly, I will care for your fur baby just like they are my very own. Do they love a snuggle? So do I. Do they love to walk? So do I. You let me know what is important to you in your pet's care and I will provide it. I am here to make your life easier as well as make sure that your pet is healthy, safe, and happy while you are away! I currently work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet/s. I am available 24/7. I work around your schedule. I live in a single story home with a fenced in yard. I also have an Autoslide dog door. This means that the dogs have access to the backyard whenever they want. I have two miniature schnauzers (Adele and Tallulah) who love play dates and can't wait to entertain your fur babies. I am able to crate your pet if needed, but I welcome them to sleep with me and my schnauzies in our comfy Queen size bed. My home will be their home away from home.

We really appreciated Hanna coming over to take care of our Goldie on September 1st, especially with only two days of a request. Hanna let us know how it went with Goldie, and sent us a picture of our sweet girl, which we appreciated! We are definitely going to contact Hanna again when we need help! Thank you, again Hanna!!
Can’t say enough great things about Sarah! She came to our house before our trip to meet our dog and for us to run through everything with her. She went above and beyond, sent many photos, and gave such great detailed updates! She really eliminated any worries about our girl while we were away!
Julie was a great first experience with Rover! She was very nice, professional, and even took the time to meet our dog before our trip. She arrived right on schedule and made sure our pup was fed and given her medication exactly as instructed. She was incredibly sweet and patient with our nervous dog, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Saint 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
