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'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.
“Olivia was awesome taking care of my little Leopoldo while I was away ❤️ She is super reliable and responsive and I definitely recommend her and hope to have her persisting him again in the future :)”
About: I think dog’s are awesome animals and they are so loyal. I love being around dogs and seeing their true personalities come out. One day I would live to have a dog, but I want to wait until I have a backyard to let them run. I work a 9-5, but I am remote. This gives me flexibility to tend to your animals needs. Animals are like toddlers and need a lot of care and attention. This is an important thing to remember for any animal owner. I will treat any animal as if they are my own. Every animal on this planet deserves to be treated with love and compassion. In time of their owners absence, it is especially important to make them feel safe and loved.
“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 have always had a special connection to animals! My first word was LITERALLY puppy. Dogs have been apart of my family my entire life. I've taken care of dogs of all ages ,as well as many different breeds from a 120 lbs black lab to an 8 lbs pomeranian! I have multiple families in my home town that had me as their primary pet sitter. I volunteered at my local animal shelter for many years where I walked the resident dogs! I have a part time job but I am happy to work out a schedule that works for both of us! I am used to different dogs and their little quirks and will be mindful of whatever situation your pup may be in.
“Lindsey has always been so good with caring for Kailani when needed. Kailani loves being able to see Lindsey and play! Thank you for doing what you do Lindsey, it is very well needed for my strict work schedule.”
“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.”
“Having Michelle watch Minnie was awesome! Minnie is such a shy kitty, but warmed up to her immediately. Michelle sent detailed updates and photos — I never worried about Minnie while we were gone. We will definitely book with her again anytime we travel!”
About: I’m a life time animal lover who grew up with pets of all kinds since I can remember. I believe every pup and kitty deserves plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs! I love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m flexible since I work remote. I’m also active! Whether your pet wants a walk, a fun play session, or simply pets, I’m happy to keep their tails wagging and purrs going. I strive to make sure your pet will feel safe and comfortable and will keep you posted with as many pictures and updates as you’d like. I’m available to care for your pet across the full week - week day or weekends. I’m also remote, so I’m flexible with scheduling based on your needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness will always come first! Whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I will always ensure a clean and comfortable environment. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and any other safety details.
About: I work full-time from home and have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior, shy, anxious, and special needs pets. I also have animal rescue experience and am comfortable with medications, special diets, and individualized care. Pet care is already part of my daily routine, and working from home gives me flexibility to fit visits and care into my schedule easily. I’m intuitive with animals and quickly pick up on their moods, personalities, and comfort levels, while keeping their routines familiar and stress free in their home.
“Adrienne is wonderful! This was our first experience with Rover and we were apprehensive about trusting anyone with our dog. But Adrienne was so patient and kind with him and communicated with us throughout the day. Thanks so much!”
“Nathalie did a fantastic job watching our 4 cats for 10 days. She truly went above and beyond with her daily visits, and it was so comforting knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life! I love animals of all kinds! Currently, I have two dogs that are 3 & 5. I also recently adopted a cat of my own, and he is the sweetest thing ever! Currently, I am a Junior at Flagler College! I work remote for my job in Maryland, but I also am working on my own pet sitting business, I Stay, U Go!! While I do not take dogs in my own home, when it comes to the clients home I work pretty much entirely from there house, but may have to go into work from time to time. Usually when I go, I’m gone for no more than about 4-5 hours.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine
Absolutely the best! I felt so comfortable knowing our girl was in such good hands. Tori is attentive, reliable, and goes above and beyond—even checking on her when I lost service while we were in the mountains. That meant so much to me and really showed how much she genuinely cared. I would highly recommend Tori and will definitely book again!
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.

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.

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.
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.
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 .

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.

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.
