“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”
“Mariana was such a WONDERFUL sitter for old Hilbert!! She took him for 2 walks, dried him off after getting stuck in the rain, and treated him like he belonged to her! If we are ever in St Augustine again, I will definitely use her again!”
“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs as well as crazy hipper dogs who just want attention. I am structured and kind and prefer pets to people. I own my own business and am available to board your pups all days of the week and weekends. I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I have raised golden retrievers but now only have one black lab (Starlight) and I understand the stress of leaving our fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog. I can crate your dog if that is your wishes but my dog is friendly. I have an 8 year old black lab.
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.
“Molly is very kind and took excellent care of our special needs dog, Bandit. She keeps a super clean environment and goes the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
“Linda was awesome with Bugsy. I can not thank her enough for taking care of her. I notified Linda a couple hours before, looking for someone to watch Bugsy. It was on short notice. She responded promptly, and said she was available to help. I reccomended Linda to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She sent pictures, and took Bugsy to the dog park. Bugsy was very happy. Thank you again for being a fabulous dog sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Shawna — a dedicated and experienced animal caregiver with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I had the unique opportunity to live on a farm for several years, where I cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigeons, bunnies, goats, sheep, cows, deer, and horses. That experience taught me not only how to care for animals, but how to truly understand their behaviors, needs, and personalities. Whether it’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or a senior pet needing extra attention, I provide calm, attentive, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I specialize in providing attentive, one-on-one care for pets in their own home environment, ensuring comfort, consistency, and peace of mind while you’re away. What You Can Expect: • Consistent, reliable care • Clear communication and updates • A calm, patient approach with animals of all temperaments • Experience with multiple species and environments • Respect for your home and routines 🐶 Services Offered: • Drop-in visits • Dog walking • House sitting • Pet companionship and care while you’re away I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to travel to a clients home 7 days a week. If I am available, I could accommodate last minute care, overnights or long term pet/housesitting. I have a pet care contract that the client fills out with any special requests and details regarding the pets care, medication if applicable, allergies, emergency contact info etc... I have glowing recommendations from past and present clients upon request. I pride myself on being a very trustworthy person and can give the homeowner/"pet parent" the peace of mind that their "castle" is truly in trusting hands. I treat every clients home as I would my own.

“Lindsey and Leroy were great with my dog. They were flexible with the times we needed a sitter and kept me up to date while my dog was in their care. Lindsey was very communicative and I would use her again!”
“Olivia is so friendly and greeted out pups in a way you can tell she is kind & nurturing with dogs. Our dogs liked her right away. She accommodated our travel schedule. Our youngest pup was nervous being on her first big trip, so Olivia gave her special attention and a cozy, quiet place where she felt comfortable. We are so appreciative of Olivia's TLC for our beloved dogs.”
“Great communication before and during his stay, sent pics to see how Bear was doing throughout the day. Very clean house and beautiful and safe fenced back yard. Bear had a great time staying there and played with another friendly dog, came home tired. We highly recommend Brittany and will use her services again in the future.”
“My dog Leo is always so excited to be dropped off for the day at Laura's house! Her family is fantastic and the socialization Leo gets from hanging out there is priceless. Laura is outgoing and easy to communicate with. She is quick at responding to requests and messages, sends photos and keeps me posted through out the day. She is awesome. Leo is a repeat visitor at her house and we both highly recommend her. :)”
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have owned dogs my whole life. We recently lost our 13 year old girl Daisy, and we just miss having a dog in the home! I’m patient, loving, and playful with animals! I currently teach full time, but will be off this summer. I will tutor and teach part time, but I won’t be out of the home for more than 4 hours at a time. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex. I am on the 2nd floor, so stairs are required. We have 2 dog parks in our complex. If you prefer your crate, that’s fine.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Saint Augustine is $33

Highly recommend! She took Milo in last minute while we were on vacation and took such great care of him. She is very sweet, caring, and kept us updated. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
We had such a great experience! This was a pretty last-minute booking while we were visiting St. Augustine, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. Clara was well cared for and happy when we picked her up, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out for the day. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her flexibility—especially when we ended up running late due to traffic. She was very understanding and kind about it, which meant a lot. We would absolutely trust her with Clara again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care!
Jessica was an amazing dog sitter for Mica! She took her to the park, sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day, and it was clear that Mica was getting lots of love and attention. It gave me such peace of mind seeing how happy she was while we were away. Mica had an awesome time and came home relaxed, happy, and completely exhausted from all the fun she had. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog like their own. 🐾😊
Linda was awesome with Bugsy. I can not thank her enough for taking care of her. I notified Linda a couple hours before, looking for someone to watch Bugsy. It was on short notice. She responded promptly, and said she was available to help. I reccomended Linda to anyone who needs a dog sitter. She sent pictures, and took Bugsy to the dog park. Bugsy was very happy. Thank you again for being a fabulous dog sitter.
Brittany and her family were so welcoming to Daryl! Brittany planned the introduction to make sure everyone was comfortable. She sent multiple pictures and updates to reassure us that Daryl was doing well. Highly recommend, and we will definitely hope to rebook when we are in the area again.
Jenny was AMAZING! She was soooo attentive to our slow moving senior dog. Jenny kept us well informed of our pets day to day activities. She was also very understanding with our unexpected schedule changes. Jenny made us feel extremely comfortable right from the start that our boy would be well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!
Catherine was amazing to us! She went above and beyond to take care of our Chaka, and was extremely helpful to us as well, as we are visiting the area. Her home is charming, and conveniently located close to the town, and very easy to get to. 100% recommended!
Lyndsay and her family took great care of our precious little Billy! She was kind and responsive to us as we celebrated our 10 year anniversary night out in St Augustine. Billy loved playing with her sweet children and her wonderful golden retriever and kitties. We wield definitely book with her again, and are so happy with her care of our little dog.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saint Augustine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Saint Augustine on Rover is $35.31 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saint Augustine commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 608 sitters in Saint Augustine, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
