“Taylor took great care of our fur babies on short notice! They tend to have some separation anxiety when we're away, and from the pictures she provided, they were happy and content, which eased our worries. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Rebecca was wonderful! My 3 month old puppy, Zoe, took right to her as if she'd always known her. Rebecca took her for a walk, kept her to the schedule she's been following of time in her playpen and then time out. I came home to a very content, Puppy.! Thank you Rebecca!”
“Aliyah was amazing! She is so sweet and kind and updated me daily after each visit. I had to travel for over a week and not only did she send numerous pictures, but I came home to an organized and cleaned refrigerator and pantry! I will definitely request her again and highly recommend her as she was fantastic!”
“Hannah was great with the pups! She stayed with them for the weekend and was very communicative throughout. She sent picture updates as the weekend went on. I came back to two very happy pups and a clean house.”
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, But i currently attend Flagker College where i’m Majoring in Theatre Arts. In the morning, i usually have classes which is from 10 am all the way till 12-1. 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.
“Very kind and accommodating with our fur babies! Sonia was great at communicating and sharing with us our pets daily activities. She really connected with our pets. We could tell they were happy in all the pictures she shared. Very responsible and committed to her role as pet sitter for the week we were on vacation.”
“I got so lucky with Cynthia! She was the first person I found on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I went out of town for a quick trip and she stayed at my home with my pups and she took great care of them. She was communicative and so kind and I’m very excited to have her watch my dogs again 😊”
“Bianca is a true gem! We all love her, ( my 3 dachshunds )especially Guinness who wanted all her attention. Bianca is the most compassionate level headed dog sitter. She was outstanding with my 16 year old Marjie. And handled baby Bella who needs time to warm up. She’s A natural pro. No worries with Bianca taking care of your babies.”
“Kaylen was great. She communicated well with me the day of booking and the day of house sitting. She was super friendly and got along with my 4 month kitten very well. She even left a cute goodie bag when she left! Such a sweet touch ? I would definitely book again with her!”
“Eliana did a wonderful job with my 3 pids while I had surgery. It was so nice to know my babies were in good hands and that I didn’t have to worry about them while in the hospital. She went above and beyond what was expected. I’ll definitely call on her next time I need a house/dog sitter for my elderly dogs. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies!”
About: Professional pet caregiver with lifelong dog and cat experience, plus hands-on experience at Dogtown USA. Reliable, attentive, and will keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. (If you need plant care I am also your guy!) Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, playtime, and cleaning up after pets. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and always make sure they receive the attention, care, and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, clean living spaces, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep a close eye on their behavior, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular updates to owners so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I've grown up around animals. I was raised on a ranch around horses, cows, and dogs. I've had a cat as long as I can remember, too. My lifelong passion has been animal care. Recently, for the last 2 years, I've been a professional animal trainer, working with marine mammals and birds, with a foundation in operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. I work full-time as a marine mammal trainer, but I am available most evenings/nights, and my current weekends from my full time position are Sundays & Mondays. For house visits, I am more than willing to adapt to whatever is needed. I have animal training experience and can adapt to the individual needs of the animals and their owners. Outdoors, indoors, crating, etc. I am open and friendly, but know how to be firm.
“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”
About: I help to care for two dogs at home, one of which struggles with anxiety. I frequently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for and socialize animals. I’m fresh out of college and still looking for a job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. Reach out whenever! My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least twice a day, not counting regular potty breaks. If your pets have any more advanced needs or schedules, I’m happy to accommodate them.
About: If you are seeking the best home away from home experience for your pet than look no further. Here at our modern 4,500 square foot home on ½ acre your baby will become a member of our family. He or she has full access to anywhere in the house or backyard so long as they are in close proximity to family. At no point will your pet ever be alone without a human nearby. Your baby will receive one-on-one attention and to ensure this we will typically not take more than 3 dog families. All our four-legged guests are expected to curl next to us on the sofa or lay nearby on the cool tile while we watch television. They will sleep in cozy pet beds in our bedroom or if they prefer snuggle next to us in our beds. They will receive custom baked dog cookies, gourmet treats, or non-rawhide bones. Most importantly they will receive lots of stimulation, attention, and love. The lucky pets who get to stay with us have access to six members of the family. My husband, Joe, and I are retired and we have the time to dedicate to our guests. Joe generally spends more time with the larger dogs. He is ex-military and the dogs that prefer structure, discipline, and exercise gravitate to him. My kids call me “the pied-piper of dogs” and usually the smaller to middle sized dogs follow me around since I am the one who feeds them and provides long belly rubs and behind the ear scratches. My college-aged daughter lavishes her time on the puppies and typically whisks them away into her bedroom. My 16-year-old son spends many afternoons outside playing fetch with the dogs or wrestling with them in the family room. He takes our higher energy dogs for a 45-minute vigorous walk or run around the neighborhood if requested. My Aunt lives with us and she pitches in to make special meals for our finicky eaters or bake healthy treats. She is integral in keeping the house sanitized and tidy. Lastly is Bosley, our rambunctious Havanese pup, who is the boss. He helps let us know which pets we can accept as our guests. He can be playful but he spends more time napping or munching on his Nylabone. We have set up our pet sitting business to rival and compete with the well-known pet resorts in the area. Dogs can enter and exit the home/yard multiple times a day for no extra charge. The yard is fully-fenced with a shady pergola and a screened in lanai with a doggy door. On warm days we will fill up a small pool for our four-legged guests who enjoy the water. If your pet has over indulged and gotten very dirty we will provide a bath if he/she is cooperative. We take extra precautions to protect our dogs from trying to escape our home or backyard or chewing on things that they shouldn’t. If your dog has health issues or prefers not to be with any of our guests, I can accommodate him/her. There is a second family room upstairs and your dog can lounge while I watch television or complete some daily tasks on the computer. I do this often for our smaller or more sensitive pups. We never charge for extra play or cuddle time. I send multiple photos and videos of your babies everyday and in fact have scheduled FaceTime/WhatsApp calls for owners and their pets. We never crate any guest unless you specifically request it. They are not locked away in a concrete “suite” at night and extra charges will not apply if your pet needs to sleep alone in another room with one of us. If your pet needs that extra dose of personal attention and enjoys human interaction and a family setting we offer a unique experience that few can match. My husband and I are retired and can dedicate attention to our four-legged friends. In addition, my daughter, son, and Aunt all pitch in to help care and lavish attention on every one of our guests. We generally only care for pets in our home. There is always a member of the household watching the pets at all times and more often than not it is my husband or myself.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine Beach
Aliyah is always amazing and goes above and beyond! She always sends pictures, and updates that clearly show how much she loves and is taking care of our dog while we’re gone. Well, I don’t want to ever assume anything other than the Service were paying for, every time we have had Aliyah, she has taken on some project that has left our house better than we left it. She is an Angel.
Rebecca was wonderful! My 3 month old puppy, Zoe, took right to her as if she'd always known her. Rebecca took her for a walk, kept her to the schedule she's been following of time in her playpen and then time out. I came home to a very content, Puppy.! Thank you Rebecca!
Jenna was an excellent house/dog sitter. When she met Vito (a Frenchie) you could tell how much she loves dogs. She stayed with Vito the whole time we were gone. She sent regular updates and pictures. When we got home, Vito was relaxed and happy, not usually how he behaves. I would highly recommend Jenna.
We had a wonderful experience with Alex and would absolutely use her again. She stayed in our home with our dogs while we were out of town, gave them lots of attention and playtime, kept our home spotless, and even made our younger dog, who is usually very wary of new people, feel completely comfortable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.
Benjamin did a fantastic job with our three big dogs! Including my very territorial German Shepherd which was such a relief and weight off of my shoulders since the previous sitter could not handle him at all! Also keeping the yard and house tidy! Very much appreciated!!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Augustine Beach is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint Augustine Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Augustine Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Augustine Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Augustine Beach. 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.
