About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life and started professionally pet sitting about 10 years ago when I retired. I have a fenced yard and can also walk your dogs throughout in my neighborhood if it’s under 50 lbs (for safety reasons). I’m 75 and am home during the day to cuddle your furry babies! Most days, I’ll go out to run errands or go to the gym. I like to take a walk in the morning by myself around my neighborhood. I’m at home the rest of the day usually unless I have an appointment. I have a fenced backyard and a screened in porch. I don’t require a crate for your dog or cat as long as they are potty trained. If your dog is elderly or takes medication, please message me with details because high need animals are taken on a case by case basis.
“Amari took the best care of my pup. She sent communication updates, pictures, and went above and beyond to ensure the house was in great shape for my return. I would definitely book Amari again!”
“Taylor is very respectful & followed instructions. She went above & beyond with patience with Bella. (Who is scared of strangers). They became friends quickly. She’s prompt & on time. Bella Buddy & I approved!”
“We love Jenna!!!!! This is the second time we have been lucky enough to work with Jenna and have been so happy with the care she has provided. She sent me consistent updates, left our house in wonderful condition, and kept our pups so happy. It’s so nice to not worry about our pets on vacation, we are grateful that we found her! Thanks a ton Jenna!!”
About: With over 15 years of dog walking experience and 3 years as a full time pet sitter, I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. From energetic pups who love long walks to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace, Reliability, communication, and safety are my top priorities, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets will be cared for like family with patience, respect, and love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m home about 90% of the time and have a fully open schedule. I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches and will be cared for in a calm, attentive environment. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle time. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of love, and I always send updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away.
“Adrienne was awesome! She went above and beyond to hang out with my pups and keep me constantly updated with pictures and videos so I could enjoy my vacation instead of worrying about my pups. Will definitely contact her again when I head out of town. Thanks for everything ?”
“RUN, don’t walk - to hire Tayler for all of your pet’s needs. I’ve had my fair share of lackluster dog sitters (even from this app, unfortunately) and Tayler goes above and beyond on every front. It started with the meet and greet - I have two anxious beagle girls who get a bit stressed with new people in the house. The moment she walked in, they were at ease, barely made a fuss and were asking for belly rubs within a few minutes (lol I swear pets can sense great energy.) Tayler stayed at our place for a few days while we were away and kept us very updated with walks, happy photos and with any questions she had about our place. She’s kind, nurturing and is exactly the person I needed to find for me to feel *amazing* about leaving them with someone. I just know her calendar is going to fill up quickly - so don’t hesitate to book her ASAP 👏”
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life and have personally had a variety of breeds including a lab, a rhodesian ridgeback, and a dashhound. I am comfortable washing, playing, trimming nails, and administering medication. I currently own a small business that is primarily weekend/event work! I work for myself so I can pretty much accommodate any requests/needs. Very flexible! I have a fully fenced in backyard so I can always bring your baby for some play! I love playing with any animal and getting to know them. I currently have 1 fur baby (cat, 6 years) so I understand their need for attention and stimulation! I take pride in making sure the space stays tidy and litter boxes maintained. Pets should add to your life and space and if I can help them clean up some of their mess, it creates a better environment for them and you!
“We had Kelly housesit and watch our dog and cat while we were out of town for 5 days, and she did amazing. Lots of pictures, very communicative, everything was left clean and the girls had so much fun. She went above and beyond, definitely would recommend.”
About: I love learning new animal personalities and have spent the past years primarily in cat sitting but have experience walking and playing with my friends and neighbors dogs. Additionally, I spend a lot of time over the summers volunteering at a local farm. In doing so I have worked with chickens, bunnies, donkeys, horses, and even mini ponies! I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am a college student at Flagler College. Because of this I will do my best to be flexible but please be aware I am working around a set class schedule. However, I will always do my best to make time and provide the best services I can! I am pretty much completely available on weekends and most weekday early mornings and evenings with the exception of Wednesdays In my home as well as my client’s home, I prioritize regular feeding, whatever the specified time may be. Additionally I stress cleanliness to ensure overall health as well as some fun play time to keep the animals engaged and mentally active!
About: Hi! My name is Lindsey and I currently live in Lancaster, PAl. I have always loved dogs and have had one since I was 11 including a husky, black lab, and great pyrenees. I currently have a black lab/german shepherd mix back home in baltimore that I miss very much and would love to be able to help others out with their dogs. Aside from having my own dogs, I also have experience watching and walking dogs of all ages and sizes. I am used to owning and watching dogs with all levels of energy so I am adaptable to the dog's needs. I do go to school full time for nursing so I have a set schedule I will be able to work around.
About: We love pets and taking care of them. My daughter is 18 and we’ve been in the dog sitting business for quite a few years now. We love pets and recently got one of our own! We guarantee you that your pet will feel as loved with us as they do with you. We love dogs. Our house is clean and the proper environment for your pet. We are caring and loving towards all pets. Your pet will be very active with us. We'll play with them, run, walk or whatever you want us to do. They will be very happy and feel at home with us. She is now in college at FSU and can housesit or walk dogs there too! At home, she will do a majority of the work but I will help out when she is busy. Welcome to Mother and Daughter Sitting! I’m currently working from home while Sophia’s at FSU. Either one of us can take care of them whether it’s pet sitting in St Augustine or housesitting/dog walking in Tallahassee. We’re very gentle and you can rest assured that your baby will be safe with us. Our house has a nice backyard so they’ll have plenty of space to play in.
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.
“Colleen was kind enough to meet me and the pups in advance to put my mind at ease. My dogs were in good hands and I know they can't wait to have another sleepover with Colleen. Thank you!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine Beach
Lexy took wonderful care of our one-year old Corgi…taking her for walks, playing with her, and following all our instructions. She clearly loves dogs! Lexy is professional, personable, and thoughtful; and she kept our home spotless. We highly recommend her and would use her again.
We were so fortunate to get Aliyah at the last minute. She took such wonderful care with of our girl Sam! She kept us updated with texts and photos. She reached out to make sure our flight got back without a delay that we thought might happen due to weather. She left the house nice and tidy, even ran the vacuum! Sam seemed so happy to have a new friend! We would defiantly recommend and use Aliyah again.
Jacksonville, we did you a massive solid by giving this site another chance and running into Tayler. To be honest, I kind of hate writing this because I know she’s going to get booked up, but she is simply too good not to praise. After a string of terrible experiences with other sitters on Rover (ranging from no-shows to theft and all the in-betweens), we were ready to give up on this site entirely. Then came Tayler. What an immediate game-changer! From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our fur babies were absolutely drawn to her positive energy. We have quite the wild pack...from an overactive puppy, a sweet, lazy senior dog, and a sassy but loveable cat. Tayler accepted the challenge and handled them all in a way only a seasoned expert could. She watched them for a few days while we were out of town and did great. She followed every instruction to the letter, kept us updated with photos, and left our house cleaner than she found it. Most importantly, our pets were incredibly happy and well-cared for when we got home. Tayler is the absolute best! Will book again. Please share her time...it's only fair since we found her and spread the word! 😂
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!!!!
Tracy is amazing! She has watched our dog Indy while house sitting our home and not only took wonderful care of our boy but also of our home. She helped keep the house clean, walked and fed Indy and picked up our mail! She stayed with Indy and at our home for a month long sitting and another separate two week long sitting and both went very smoothly. She was responsive and easy to communicate with as well as very flexible! Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Augustine Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Augustine Beach on Rover is $43.1 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 756 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Augustine Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Augustine Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
