“Randi is great! Our dog Lenny is anxious and he did really well with her. She even did extra with house by vacuuming, watering plants and putting out trash. Your fur babies are in good hands with Randi.”

“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!”
About: I prioritize giving them affection and joy, making sure they are well-fed, active, happy, and taken outside for potty breaks right when they need it or scheduled to. I can fit in anytime as per your preference, I am flexible with my schedule. If something is on the way, I will immediately inform you. I prioritize communication with my clients, providing regular updates, photos, and prompt notifications in case of any emergencies. I make sure to accommodate your pet’s needs and your expectations, and I will give immediate attention to any concerns or messages you may have.

About: I am a college student coming from a home of many animals even goats! I grew up as a runner and my pup was my best bud. I am a college student missing my pets a little extra! That being said animals hold a special place and deserve the best care and I cant wait to meet yours. I am a student athlete without a job and willing to do what it takes to make sure my pets are in the best care. I currently am not able to board a pet right now but would love and be able to take animals for walks, runs, and drives
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a teenager and 70 so , just a few years lol Very flexible schedule and willing to help. I stay busy with volunteering, sports a nd friends and family but I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and willing to help. I live in a great condo complex with tons of pet owners and a 2 mile walking path with bags available at every building Very pet friendly!
About: I have been dog/house sitting for over 5 years, I am very dependable and trustworthy. I have 2 dogs of my own and have grown up with pets my whole life, making my love for animals pure. I have built relationships with all the families whose houses/animals I sit for and they have consistently used me as their go to sitter! Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine. I have flexibility with my serving job and am able to take off or adjust my schedule on days that I am pet sitting. This allows me to have open availability and dedicate the time and attention needed to provide your pet with great care while you’re away. I provide dog sitting in my clients’ homes and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I have been trusted by my current dog-sitting clients for over three years, and I also have dogs of my own that I care for every day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I’m comfortable with different personalities, needs, and routines. I adapt to each pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, whether that means feeding times, walks, playtime, or simply giving them companionship, so they can feel at home and maintain their routine while their owner is away.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Robert! He took amazing care of our dog, Tucker, while we were away on vacation. Not only did he stay in our home and keep everything spotless, but he also updated us daily with tons of photos, videos, and sweet messages — it truly put our minds at ease. Robert went above and beyond, taking Tucker on long walks (miles each day!), keeping him active and happy, and giving him all the love and attention he needed. It was clear our pup was in great hands. Highly recommend Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring sitter. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!”
“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'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.
“Brittney was amazing. So prompt, kind and took pics each day. Cat & dog loved her. I was at ease while on a brief vacay! No worries with brittney as my new pet sitter. Totally grateful I found her!!”
“Genevieve was great with our two elderly dogs. Our oldest had some health issues and Genevieve picked up medicine for her and applied and kept us updated with texts and photos. Dogs were happy and safe while we were away. Would highly Recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine Beach
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!!!!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
