About: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now (starting college this fall!), so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.
“Layla is truly one of a kind person. Her love for animals is absolutely incredible. I was unexpectedly out of town for a very long time. Layla's attention and love for my cats is what made all the difference in the world. I could not have even imaged my long absence if were not for Layla. I'm not just leaving a review to be nice, I cannot imagine a better pet sitter than Layla or a better person. She is truly a breath of fresh air in a world where we really need loving and caring people. I will never forget Layla, neither will my cats! You are loved Layla!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I understand how much our pets mean to us! I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being will always be my top priority! 🐶🐱❤️ I’m currently in college three days a week and am available for pet care on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m looking to earn some extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I’m reliable, flexible on those days, and would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I have three dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable around animals and understand that every pet has different needs. I’ll care for your pets in their own home and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide
“This was the first time having Baily visit with my sweet girl, Kailani (French Bulldog) and Kailani was so excited to see her again since the meet and greet we did. Thank you Baily for making sure Kailani had fun and was taken care of while I was away today!”
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.
“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: We’re huge dog lovers, and having recently lost our own pups, we’d love the chance to welcome some four-legged friends into our home while their parents are away. We know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust to care for your dogs and how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re being loved and looked after properly. Over the past ten years, we’ve adopted three dogs, two of whom were seniors when they joined our family. Our pups were truly our kids, and we’ve experienced just about everything that comes with sharing your life with dogs, from the funny quirks and endless cuddles to the extra care and patience older pups sometimes need. We’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family for years, sometimes having as many as four pups in the house at once! I’ve personally worked as a dog walker for several years, and my husband, Ric, is great with training… although his specialty is definitely cuddling. We’re holding off a little while before welcoming our next dog into the family, so in the meantime, we’d genuinely love having some pups around to spoil. Our goal is to give dog parents the same reassurance we always wanted when leaving ours behind: knowing your pups are with people who will treat them like part of the family. Expect lots of love, plenty of attention, a comfortable home, and probably more photos and updates than you asked for. 😂 Basically: your pups will be spoiled, cuddled, and treated like the little angels they are until you’re home again. ❤️🐾 I work from home most days, so pups get plenty of company, attention, and opportunities to get outside throughout the day! Ric and I are early risers and usually start our day around 5:45 a.m. with a quick trip to the yard for a wee. Since I’m home during the day, I’m able to keep an eye on their routine, let them out whenever they need, and fit in little walks throughout the day. After dinner, we always head out for a 30–45 minute walk, and any pups staying with us are more than welcome to join! If they’re particularly energetic, we’re also happy to add a longer morning walk after breakfast. And, of course, being in Florida, we’re always mindful of the heat and will adjust walks and outdoor time to make sure everyone stays safe and comfortable. 🐾 Honestly, we have a very peaceful household, and our dogs have always just chilled right alongside us. We’ll stick to whatever routine you give us when it comes to meals, treats, walks, medications, and anything else they need, but outside of that, we’re pretty good at matching their vibe. If they want to play, we’ll play. If they want to curl up on the couch and take it easy, we’re more than happy to do that too! Some of our friends have dogs who are usually pretty high-energy or a little anxious, and even they seem to completely zonk out when they stay with us. We like to think our home is just a comfortable, easygoing place for pups to settle in, feel safe, and make themselves at home. 🐾
“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!”
“Katie helped me with my two dogs while I was out of town. We did drop in visits and Katie did great! She followed instructions well, communicated with me and sent me pictures of the doggies. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Lindsey helped me out in a bind. Thank you for taking care of my sweet Kailani!! I’m sure she was happy to see you again! Also, thank you for the details in notes on visit along with wiping her paws after the walk. I appreciate that! I recommend Lindsey to care for your pets when needed. Kailai will be looking forward to more time with you tomorrow too!”

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!!
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.

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 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.
