“Leanna was so sweet with our elderly yorkie/Chihuahua. Not only did she provide last minute care for us but made sure Ivy was settled and happy and sent us updates. You can tell she not only loves dogs but is a lovely kind person. Thank you!”
“Our miniature poodle Leo enjoyed his time with Mariana having plenty of space to play and attention to his playtime needs. Leo especially enjoyed the extra cuddles! We would definitely bring him back 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.”
“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! 🐾💕”
“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.”
“They took good care of my boy everyone hit it off right from the start Max and their dog Rockey were instant buds. When I picked him up I could tell by Max's affection toward Rachel and her husband they are sweet dog lovers this was a playdate but have them booked for watching him when we go on vacation”
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: 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.
“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.”
“Kaylen was super accommodating and sweet to our dog Huey. She asked lots of questions upon drop off to make sure he was getting the best care. I think Huey enjoyed playing with her two doggies as well! Thanks Kaylen”
“Brittney was great, dog seemed very happy. My husband who did drop off-pick up said Brittney was “Professional, responsible, flexible and very nice.” Many thanks!”

About: I am a single mom of a 20 old daughter who thinks she is a dog whisper and has never met a dog she doesn’t love. We love all types of dogs. I work full time and get home around 6pm. I am off every weekend and looking to earn some extra income. I am very honest and dependable. I’ve always had some type of animal in my life. I have a black mouth cur mix at home named Emory as well as a cat named Whiskey. Emory loves playing with other dogs and whiskey doesn’t mind them if they don’t mind him. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby and or babies!! I work full time, but have open availability on the weekends. I usually enjoy going out for walks and taking advantage of the fresh air so figured why not make a little extra income and provide love and care for your fur baby at the same time! I do live in an apartment complex but I can still provide leashed walks or available to take them to the dog park if permitted!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine
Katie was easy to work with. She sent pictures and took Cooper on two walks, and the last one caught them in a rainstorm. They were drenched! Cooper loved it and I loved how she dried him off and brought him to the truck so we wouldn't have to get out in the rain. She really went above and beyond. I highly recommend Katie!
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!

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 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 .
