Marble was well taken care of and we were thoroughly updated on each visit and got cute photo updates. Will definitely have Bonnie take care of our dog again!

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 combine professional reliability, strong handling skills, and a genuinely calm, patient approach with every dog I care for. I’m experienced with large breeds, energetic dogs, reactive dogs, service animals, and pups who need a confident, steady walker. I’m also comfortable supporting senior dogs, including slow‑paced walks, and extra‑gentle care. I have experience reading dog body language, managing leash reactivity, and keeping dogs focused and safe during walks — especially in busy or high‑distraction areas. I’ve also worked with puppies, helping reinforce good habits like loose‑leash walking, basic commands, and consistent routines. Whether it’s a beach walk, a neighborhood stroll, or a drop‑in visit, I show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat every dog like my own. My goal is simple: happy pups, stress‑free owners, and walks that make tails wag. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I’m currently building another dog‑focused business, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop‑ins, and consistent recurring clients. Since my work already revolves around dogs, I’m able to give each pup plenty of time, attention, and reliable care. When I’m caring for pets—whether on a walk or at a client’s home—I focus on safety, structure, and keeping each dog relaxed and happy. On walks, I use calm, confident handling, pay close attention to body language, and avoid situations that could cause stress or reactivity. I keep a steady pace that matches the dog’s needs, offer positive reinforcement, and make sure they get both exercise and mental stimulation. In the home, I give plenty of attention, and make sure each dog feels comfortable and secure.

About: Hey there, you can call me Bee! :) I've had a mix of animals my whole life, from goats and chickens and cats and dogs in my childhood, to my own small zoo today! I have three cats and a dog at home, and as a result I have experience handling multiple animal personalities and making sure they all feel safe and comfortable during transitions, such as going to the vet, meeting a new friend, etc. I love to walk and enjoy taking my dog along so she can really soak up the sun and burn off energy. My day job goes until approximately 1:30/2pm every day, so I'm completely free in the afternoons and evenings! I am usually free to help out weekends, as well! I ensure that my home is a clean environment safe for pets at ALL times. This means no human food left unsupervised, no toxic plants, and no access to chemicals/medications/other no-nos. I also enjoy catering to pets' needs, whether that is hyper playtime or serene strolls!

Lexy was so helpful with dropin visits for our 2 cats. Her check-ins were punctual and appreciated the communications. Even though our cats were timid or scared, it was great that she gave them space to calm down. We we're happy to come home to happy pets and tidy pet areas. We would not hesitate to book with her again! Thank you for a great job.

About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As I grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I have full time availability currently. I am usually up around 5/6am so I am happy to do early mornings. I am up for late night drop ins as well if needed. I do not have a yard but I love to take the dogs to parks and walk around. If they are potty trained, I am more than happy to keep them in my house.

About: Even though I am relatively new to having a kitten, I have learned so much from it and I have certainly done my research to make sure my kitty is always happy and healthy. I’ve never owned a dog, but I have been constantly around them from a young age because most of my friends and family have them. With that being said, I’ve gained a decent amount of knowledge on how to take care of them! I’ve done it all from stopping by to walk dogs to overnight stays for long periods! I’m currently working part time so I have more time to give your fur babies some extra love! I’m available Friday-Monday for in home boarding. For regular walks and check ins, I’m free almost everyday except for Tuesday-Thursday after 4pm. I will provide your fur baby with attentiveness to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I will also make sure they don’t stray away from their routine, so they are happy and healthy by the time you return!

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.

About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I own my home and would be thrilled to board any number of pets for any amount of time. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I have a fairly flexible part time work schedule, of 20-25 hours per week, that I'm unavailable. But Saturday and Tuesday I have wide open full availability, so I am ready and willing to meet your needs all day & night (including overnights/boarding), on any Tuesday or Sunday! I am also available in the mornings until 10am , and 3pm or after every day of the week! I'm available early morning and late afternoon, evening and nights, all 7 days of the week! The only time that I am unavailable is from 9:30am-3pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday, and 8:30am-3pm on Saturdays. So I am available from 6am-9:30am and after 3pm on Mon, Wed-Fri, from 6am-8:30am and after 3pm on Saturday, and all day & night long on Tuesdays& Sundays. Available at or after 3pm and for the rest of the day & night, all 7 days of the week! Can do overnights/ boarding as well😁 Thank you 🤙 I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! I am happy to care for your pet in my own home, or to travel to your home. Whatever is preferred and easiest for you 😊 Thank you for your consideration -Kelly

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: I’m a big animal lover! I’ve been watching pets since I was in middle/highschool. I’m interested in boarding pets, pet sitting, dog walking! I’ve had really good luck working with shy dog and helping them to be more comfortable around people. I work part time so i’d love to do weekends and early during the day on weekdays! I’m flexible with dates when it comes to house sitting. I have a large fenced in yard and two living rooms and lots of bedrooms for your pet to explore! If your pet it more comfortable staying at home, I can also come stay in your home!

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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Augustine stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Saint Augustine with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 98% 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.

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.
