About: I have worked with animals professionally for 5 years, but also have 20 years of experience with my own pets. I have a deep love and respect for animals. I work a full time job as a dolphin trainer with inconsistent hours depending on time of year, but my days off are Thursdays and Fridays. Most other days I am available before 7am and after 4pm unless during the summer. My current living situation does not allow for me to care for animals in my own home, however I am open to caring to animals in the client’s home. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean space and respecting the boundaries set forth by the client. Please note for house sitting jobs that I do work a full time job Saturday through Wednesday so on those days potty breaks would be before work (around 7am) and after work (around 4:30pm). Thursdays and Fridays are my off days so I am available for more frequent potty breaks/play sessions.
“Adrienne was awesome! She went above and beyond to hang out with my pups and keep me constantly updated with pictures and videos so I could enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my pups. Will definitely contact her again when I head out of town. Thanks for everything ?”
“Traci was amazing! We had a last minute cancellation for a two week house/pet sitting and she stepped in a day before we were scheduled to leave. Was fantastic with our stranger-apprehensive dog and was super flexible, kind, considerate and responsive. Our house is currently listed for sale and she was so helpful and flexible working with our realtor while we were away to help manage the showings and open houses by making sure Indy was safely tucked away in his pen while people were touring the house. We will absolutely be using Traci again and highly recommend her. She took amazing care of both our home and our boy Indy ❤️”
“Adison always does a wonderful job taking care of our crew of four and our home. We always come home to happy pets and never worry about anything while we are away. Communication is great and we highly recommend her!”
“We were delighted to have Savannah as our new cat sitter for Black Fury during a short two-night trip, and she truly exceeded our expectations! Despite Black Fury’s extremely shy and anxious nature as a former stray, Savannah’s kind and caring approach helped him start to come out of his shell by the end of her stay, which is no small feat for our timid boy who spent most of the time hiding under the bed. Her communication was fantastic—she kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos, giving us such peace of mind. Savannah was conscientious, keeping everything tidy and tending to Black Fury’s needs with utmost care. We’re so grateful for her warmth and professionalism and sincerely hope she’ll be our go-to sitter in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable pet sitter!”
“She was absolutely the best and I highly recommend Rhiannon for any of your pet sitting needs. She was prompt, very professional, and most importantly very loving to our dogs. They really enjoyed hanging out with her. She gave us a peace of mind knowing that our babies were cared for. She's absolutely the best.”
“I booked Ella each nich for a 5 day period from a Tuesday to Saturday night. I came to St. Augustine from out of town for my wedding so the whole week was constantly hectic and changing with plans. She was very responsive and accommodating to changes in the schedule. She was always punctual and if there were issues with traffic she was sure to communicate those problems. She did great with my dog and would send updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her for any return trips to the St. Augustine area. Thanks Ella!”
“Cassie was incredible! She stayed with our cat and dog for a week while we were on vacation, and I had no worries the whole time. She provided them not just basic care, but went above and beyond to provide them enrichment and love too. She was a great communicator and consistent from meet and greet to the end, and the house was in perfect shape. We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Rustin was terrific with our 2 dogs. We booked on a last minute weekend trip. Rustin walked our dogs a couple of times a day. She sent pictures of the dogs who really liked Rustin and her boyfriend! Rustin is a wonderful pet sitter.”
“Katie was amazing! Both pups plus our older cat were totally fine! Katie sent messages & pictures & even video during our days away. We could not have asked for a kinder and more communicative care giver! Looking forward to having her stay again!”
About: I’m from a really small town in PA and am a HUGE animal lover. I grew up with pets (of all kinds) my whole life! I would love to watch after your babies! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your dogs or cats. My schedule changes weekly, but the latest I would ever work is 9pm and it’s usually 9hr shift. I also have an hour lunch in the middle of my shift that I can use for potty breaks if needed. I’m willing to stay overnight and housesit if needed as well! I do well with sticking to a schedule and I love going on walks and being outside in the sunshine. I’ll make sure your furbaby gets all the attention it deserves :) I also don’t mind small housekeeping tasks.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life! I love animals of all kinds! Currently, I have two dogs that are 2 & 4. PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU NEED FLEXIBILITY WITH PRICING! I CAN ACCOMODATE! Currently, I am a Junior at Flagler College! I work remote for my job back 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 hours.
About: Hi! I’m Sam and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for caring for pets like they’re my own. I take the time to understand each pets personality and needs. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your baby, and I’m here to give you that peace of mind. I work from home so I’ll be with your pet the entire time and can take them out as often as needed. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own 5 year old German Shorthair. I am also happy to provide updates, pictures and videos throughout their stay! I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy and loved while you’re away! I can’t wait to meet them! I work from home so I am around all day! I can take them out as often as needed and can provide cuddles and love throughout the day. I live in a one bedroom apartment but I have a dog of my own so we go on frequent walks! Pets are allowed on furniture and can make themselves at home.
About: I have over a decade of experience watching pets, plus little humans! Looking to give the pets a playful experience while earning a bit of extra cash. Currently I clean airbnbs during the day, I bartend at the yacht club a few nights a week, and teach yoga part time. I enjoy surfing, working out, reading and art. I love animals, but unfortunately do not have the time or space to have one so this opportunity allows me to enjoy the company of an animal, while also giving supreme care to your fur baby while you’re away. I will not be able to pet sit at my house, so only available care will be at the home of the client. I can cater to just about any other needs, and am flexible.

I would highly recommend Shelagh. She is great at communicating my boys all four of them two cats two dogs really liked her. I have a couple rescues and it takes them a minute to adjust and she was very good with them and very patient. They ended up falling in love with her. She was honest and respected my house. I felt very comfortable and will use her again in the future.
Prepare yourself for a long one. We needed a pet sitter as we were heading out on an 18 day European cruise and taking our family … so canceling was not an option. We came across Miranda on Rover and truly immediately liked her ! Well, were we ever correct !!! she is definitely “One of a Kind “ she isn’t just your pets pet sitter She is their guardian angel, their advocate, their surrogate mother, and as my husband likes to call her, “the pet whisperer”. What started out as a regular pet sitting job turned into so much more. Three weeks before we left on our trip one of our dogs ended up with a pretty serious liver issue. We made trips between Saint Augustine and U of F small animal hospital and thought we had this under control. However just after we left on our trip Valentina took a turn for the worst, thank God we had Miranda !! Miranda continued the trips to U of F and our local Vet for the remaining days of our trip. When I say she was our dogs advocate, I mean it. She took on the enormous task of conversing with doctors and the nurses when we couldn’t be reached. She syringe fed and hand fed our dog as well as medicated her several times a day while constantly sending us videos and pictures and reassuring us that Valentina was doing well … and she was ! by the end of our trip Valentina was eating on her own again ! We will never trust anyone but Miranda to watch our dogs !!!!! When I tell you, she’s the best … and she has the biggest heart for animals it’s the absolute truth. When Shes in charge, you can relax and be assured your pets are in the best possible care while you’re away ! Not only is she our pets guardian angel she’s a big part of our family now .
I booked Ella each nich for a 5 day period from a Tuesday to Saturday night. I came to St. Augustine from out of town for my wedding so the whole week was constantly hectic and changing with plans. She was very responsive and accommodating to changes in the schedule. She was always punctual and if there were issues with traffic she was sure to communicate those problems. She did great with my dog and would send updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her for any return trips to the St. Augustine area. Thanks Ella!
Julia and her husband Ryan are wonderful. My baby girl instantly loved them. They stayed in constant communication with me. I had high anxiety because we lost her brother 2 weeks prior but they made Loretta feel right at home. I would definitely recommend them. I had initially requested They stay at my house but with the death of my baby boy, they kept her at their apartment. Everything went smoothly and my anxiety lessened after the first night!
Bianca made herself available on short notice to care for our 4 small dogs. We are blown away at the level of care she provided. Our pups absolutely love her and we are beyond happy to have finally found a sitter that is dependable and honest. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future.
Madison was absolutely amazing. I was so nervous to have someone that was not family watching our two pugs, but her communication and care totally put my mind at ease. She kept me updated throughout the day, sent tons of pictures, and my house felt as clean as it was the day we left. Absolutely book with Madison!
We were very nervous about leaving our girl with someone she didn't know. Amanda came to our house and we brought Cynder to hers to try to make it easier and to see if both parties thought it would work. We were going to be gone for 3 1/2 weeks. She was well taken care of and Amanda periodically sent pictures so we would know that she was doing okay. Made leaving her easier. I would definitely recommend Amanda.
Mike quickly responded to our inquiry and request for house sitting services. Mike was flexible to help address our specific needs as well as an excellent communicator in planning, scheduling and during the service request. Mike is kind, gentle spirited and trustworthy which quickly put us at ease and gave us the confidence and security he was an ideal fit not only for our dog but also for our family. We will leverage Mike should we have pet sitting services in the future and highly recommend Mike to anyone who may have a need for pet services.
