“I told Mary how nervous I was about her walking Hank because he is so reactive to other dogs and people she is amazing and so caring and made me feel sooo comfortable. 1000% recommend trusting her with your sweet pets!”
“Sarah, thank you again so much for taking care of Kailani and providing me with your detailed visit info and pics. Kailani loved seeing and playing with you! I will definitely continue to book you when need. I appreciate it!”
About: I've had a dog (weimaraner) for most of my childhood, he was my buddy. I have boarded dogs at my house (senior rottweiler, pug, aussie, pitbull, red heeler) and walked neighborhood dogs (lab, border collie, goldendoodle) multiple times over the past 5 years, from adolescent to senior. I currently volunteer at a dog rescue, mostly with the thrift store but also spending time with the dogs. I truly enjoy having dogs around, I am not able to have my own at the moment and so I enjoy the time I get with dogs in need and neighborhood pets. I'm currently volunteering for 5 hours at a time, 2-3 days a week on Sunday and Monday, and I will be starting a job soon, so I will make sure to update my schedule once that is available to me. I can spend time with your dog all day when available to provide company, pets, and throw a frisbee in the yard, but I am also very comfortable taking dogs on long walks. I am pretty good about reading dogs' mannerisms and trying to adapt my activity based on their personality. If I'm new to a dog, I will try and make sure I do something with them they love to earn their trust.
“Nathalia is the absolute best. My pups love her, punctual, trustworthy, communicative. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter to take care of my pups while I’m at work during the day. Highly recommended!”
“Shelagh came and let my pup out for a little walk while I was at work and couldn’t come home for lunch. She walked him around and played with him a bit. She followed the directions perfectly and was very communicative. I will definitely be using her again!”
“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’m a medical professional and animal lover lover with a huge heart for dogs, farm animals, lizards, and more! I have extensive practical experience at a vet clinic, at ranches and my own pets. Let me love yours! Over 15 years experience with professional care, but 30+ with my own dogs. Majored in animal science in college with neuro-psych doctorate. I’ll bathe, clip nails, and brush. I have a large yard and safe places to walk. I work from home part time but ant an hospital part time. Sometimes (rarely though) I go away for the weekend to go camping and site seeing. Your babies are welcome to come. They will hike and smell fresh air also. If traveling together, I like to give them a safety harness so they are secure and safe in the car. When I’m home it’s unrestricted access and with your babies. When I work I work from 9-4 in JAX. It it’s flexible and I’ll pay to have someone let your guys out if we need a mid-day walk. I pay for my girl to get a walk. I go for walks multiple times a day. My pug is chill and doesn’t worry about other animals. I only feed dry dog food, but will do anything for your babes.
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 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: 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.
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hello! I'm Molly and I'd be honored to care for your four-legged family members! I've taken care of pets for 25+ years. Caring for dogs/cats of all sizes, breeds and behaviors is my true love and passion. I am a fun-loving, experienced professional, and will love your fur-children/family member as if they are my own. I provide service to St. Johns & Flagler county pet families 7 days a week. My schedule is flexible to accommodate and ensure your sweet baby receives the personal attention he/she deserves. I believe every individual pet is unique and special. I follow the lead of what each pet parent wants for their sweet fur-baby. Older or more seniors dogs may need some company, cuddles and a short walk. Young active pups may need long walks in their neighborhood or local park. I think what matters most is trust -and that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved until you get home.
“Kelly is just great, simply put. Drop-ins, delivery, long-term pet care, she really does it all! She became a part of my dogs life, and he/we will surely miss her with her relocation. My wife and I operate on a varying schedule and Kelly was always there to accommodate our needs. Trust me, you’ve found a good one with her.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, starting with my own Puggle, Zoey. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I cared for my 16-year-old Puggle who had diabetes, so I’m very familiar with administering medications and making sure medical needs are always a top priority. I also have a special place in my heart for dogs with anxiety and take pride in creating a calm, comforting environment where they can feel secure. I’ve also been working in the pet care industry for a while as I pursue my goal of becoming a professional dog groomer, so I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. At home, I have my own 2 year old Chihuahua, who is my little baby. I would love the opportunity to share that same love, patience, and plenty of cuddles with your fur baby. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is very flexible at this time. Please contact me so that we can schedule a time to meet your pet care needs. I look forward to getting to know your fur baby in the future! I have a dog friendly home. We have the ability to meet your pet’s various medical needs. Our home is filled with cuddles, love, and treats!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine
We had a wonderful experience with Tori. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything in perfect order. She did an excellent job making sure they were comfortable while we were away. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like family. Knowing our pets were in such caring and attentive hands made our time away completely stress-free. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.
Shelagh is wonderful. My cats adored her so much and they were so happy and relaxed when I came back from my weekend trip. I had such anxiety using a pet sitter for the first time ever, but Shelagh was very understanding and made sure that everything goes smoothly. She shared pictures with me and updated me during the visits. I will definitely book her again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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