“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!”

About: As a proud pet owner, I have two rescue cats, a senior Australian Kelpie–Australian Shepherd rescue mix, and a three-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and entertained while you are away. Whether you are traveling, working, on vacation, or simply need help for a few hours, I will treat your pets like part of my own family. I grew up on a farm in Gilroy, California, surrounded by animals. Throughout both my childhood and adult life, I have remained actively involved in fostering and rescuing animals. I have fostered kittens, cats, dogs, and puppies, helped with Golden Retriever rescue, and raised and trained guide-dog puppies in hopes they would graduate and be placed with someone who was blind or deaf. Because my mom is deaf, service animals have always held a very special place in my heart. I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, rescue animals, anxious pets, and animals with different personalities and energy levels. I can help with basic puppy training, medication administration, senior mobility support, feeding, walks, playtime, litter-box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also enjoy taking dogs on long walks and keeping pets active and entertained based on their individual needs. I am happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your baby is happy and in good hands. Transportation may also be available upon request, and I am always willing to discuss any special routines or care instructions your pet may need. I own a plant business and work primarily from home, giving me a flexible schedule and open availability throughout the week. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, supervision, feeding, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. In my home, pets receive close supervision, safe introductions, and a fully fenced backyard for monitored outdoor time. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, training preferences, and household rules to keep their pet’s routine as familiar as possible. My dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I never force interactions between animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the home, secure doors and gates, clean up after each visit, and carefully follow all written instructions. I provide photo updates and communicate promptly about eating, bathroom habits, behavior, or anything unusual so owners always know how their pet is doing.
“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!”

“Kelly was awesome! She took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. It was so nice to be able to get away for a couple of days and know Kelly had everything under control. I’m not sure the dogs even missed us! We would highly recommend Kelly and will definitely call on her again!”
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.
“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 :)”


“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!”

“If you're looking for someone to care for your pets, I cannot recommend Shelli enough! She watched our cats while we were away, and she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, so leaving him is always incredibly stressful. We had originally planned to board them, but between the cost and the required vet visit beforehand, it just wasn't the right fit. Shelli completely put our minds at ease. She made sure they were fed, gave insulin exactly as needed, spent time playing with them, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and even cleaned up after one of our cats got sick. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about our fur babies was priceless. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Shelli, for taking such amazing care of our kitties! We will absolutely be using you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. 🐾❤️”

About: I’m reliable, patient, and truly love caring for animals. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, so I can handle training basics as well as providing extra comfort and gentle care when needed. I’m also attentive to routines, medications, and special instructions to make sure pets feel safe and happy. I am only in school right now. My classes go from 2-7 on Monday and Wednesday and 9-2 on Tuesday and Thursday. I have lots of open time to take care of any pets. In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddle time just the way they’re used to. I keep their space clean, freshen water often, and give regular updates with photos so owners feel at ease. In my own home, I provide a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, enrichment, and love.
“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: 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.
“Jenna was fantastic! Her love for animals shines through. She sent lots of updates and was super-flexible with our requests to accommodate our cats’ wacky feeding schedule — she even paid them an extra visit at the last minute when our return plane was delayed. We definitely will request her again to look after our guys!”

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.

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.
