“Randi has been great with our reactive dog Lily. She’s athletic and enjoys walking her (even though she can be a pain). She also took great care of her when we were out of town. Sent lots of updates, followed directions, and our dog was happy when we came home. I recommend her!”
“The most fabulous experience e we have had. It’s such a relief to know that your animals are being carted for while you are away and it gives you piece of mind. Tori has been attentive and has shared updates with us and photos. Brings comfort to our . Tori is our number 1 go to from now on!!”
“Paige was patient, kind, and an incredible communicator! She worked with our anxious dog and never gave up until she won her over. We highly recommend her as she took our dog on daily walks, gave her medication, sent so many cute videos and pictures!”
About: I offer personalized attention and reliability. Your pet's well-being is my priority! With my experience, you can trust me with their safety and care! Pet care is a regular part of my routine. I ensure they have food, exercise, and attention daily. Each day I have plenty of time to look after animals. I have a big front and back yard for dogs to play in, one very calm dog to keep good company, I can also crate dogs very easily if needed.
About: Animals aren't just a hobby for me—they have been my entire life. I have been proudly caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and for over twenty years, I have successfully raised and parented both on my own. Because of this lifelong devotion, I am deeply fluent in both "dog" and "cat," understanding their unique personalities, cues, and needs at a core level. When your fur baby stays with me, they aren't just being "watched"; they are being welcomed into a home backed by decades of hands-on expertise and a lifetime of genuine love. You can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in the hands of an experienced, dedicated, lifelong pet advocate. By day, I am a proud, full-time 12-month employee with the St. Johns County School District. Because of my weekday commitment to our schools, I dedicate my weekends entirely to your fur babies! I treat your home with the utmost respect and follow your exact instructions to the letter. During my visits, I don't just rush in and out; I make sure your pet gets quality one-on-one time. For dogs, that means brisk walks, fresh water, and active play. For cats, it means clean litter boxes, fresh food, and interactive play or gentle socialization depending on their mood.
“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’ve always had dogs of my own and truly see them as family. I’m used to the everyday stuff—walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love—and I know how much the little routines matter. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own, I’d love to help. I’m new to the area and have lots of free time, so pet care easily fits into my day. I love being outside and see walking dogs as a great way to explore the neighborhood while giving them the exercise and attention they need. Since my schedule is wide open, I can be flexible and available when you need me. When I do drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets everything they need—fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and some extra love and attention. For walks, I’ll match your dog’s energy, whether that’s a long stroll to burn off energy or a shorter walk for a slower pace. I always treat pets like they’re my own and follow any routines or instructions you leave for me.
“I was lucky to find and add Lindsey for my pet sitting needs for Kailani (French Bulldog) and will be using her pet sitter services again when needed. Kailani enjoyed her time with Lindsey. Thank you for caring for my sweet little girl Kailani.”

I currently have two cats that rule the roost. I foster kittens during kitten season. I’m trustworthy, responsible, professional, fun, kind, reliable, and readily available! I am off Mondays Tuesdays and Saturdays. I get off at 6 when I do work so I could do morning and night visits if needed We will go on 2 walks a day, in the morning and evening. I can easily crate your dog, walk your dog, cuddle your furbabies and spoil with treats and scratches!
About: I grew up caring for my beloved cat for 15 years which taught me exactly how to treat with patience love and respect and kindness I am excited to bring that lifelong devotion to dog walking here in Saint Augustine! Because I don't have pets at home right now, your dog will get my 100% undivided attention, energy, and care on every single walk. I look forward to keeping your pup happy, healthy, and safely exercised. I also took care of my neighbors dog while they were away. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now so I’m fully available to work mornings days and evenings. This makes it easy for me to accommodate your dogs regular mid day routine while you are away at work or busy. I am highly reliable punctual and ready to walk whenever your pup needs a break Safety is my absolute top priority whenever I am walking a dog. I always make sure the leash and collar are completely secure before stepping outside, and I stay highly alert to our surroundings. Since my own home is pet-free, you can trust your pet will get my 100% undivided care and focus
“Michelle was great. Great communication, and she was very sweet with our cat. I would definitely use her again when needed and recommend to all. Thank you for a great first rover experience Michelle!”
About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.
“Lu was great to work with! She is very responsive and kept me very updated while watching my two dogs last minute. Would absolutely work with her in the future and recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Arin was very reliable and communicative while we were away. She provided updates and pictures and provided great care which made us feel more comfortable being away from our fur babies.”
About: I have been dogsitting since I was 13. Since I don’t have a dog of my own Dogsitting gives me the opportunity to get my dog fix. I take care of the animals as if they are my own. For a year I worked at a pet resort. Currently I am a junior at Flagler College. So with my flexible schedule, love for dogs, and need for money, I thought this was a great opportunity. I make sure to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to be respectful and give them a bit of space at first to get to know the pet and their personality.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine
Tori took excellent care of our cat family in St Augustine during our 2 week vacation. Rest assured she is very knowledgeable of animals needs. She did a meet and greet. She was always on schedule, she is super friendly, goes above and beyond. Tori was extra loving to the cats which was what they needed in our absence. Tori spent time with each cat during her visits and sent incredible pictures and messages and did everything. We were always excited for the updates each visit. Having just moved here we had to find a new sitter after almost 20 years of one sitter. We are so excited that we will have Tori to call on as our pet sitter and newest part of our family. She's just that good.
We had a wonderful experience with Katie. She took great care of our pets while we were out of town for several days. She sent pictures and updates every time she came by to check on them. Great communication, professional, and a true animal lover! Would highly recommend, and we hope to work with her again!
We had Jenna check on our cats while we went on a trip, and she was wonderful! When she came to meet & greet, she listened intently, and several of my cats came out to see her and liked her right away! She made us feel at ease and sent pictures every day, and left things clean and tidy. She is communicative, professional, and kind! Thank you Jenna :-)
We really appreciated Hanna coming over to take care of our Goldie on September 1st, especially with only two days of a request. Hanna let us know how it went with Goldie, and sent us a picture of our sweet girl, which we appreciated! We are definitely going to contact Hanna again when we need help! Thank you, again Hanna!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Saint Augustine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Augustine is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,882 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Augustine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Augustine. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
