“Diane made sure our pup was well loved, fed, and felt right at home. She kept us updated with cute pictures and gave her lots of time outside. We had no concerns the moment we met her and would be more than happy to bring our doggie back next time we're in St. Augustine.”
“Bobbi & Rick took great care of Eddie…and on short notice! They coordinated with me on a Meet & Greet quickly, and I got lots of texts and picture updates while I was away. They are very certainly caring and compassionate dog people!”
“She sent videos of the dogs getting along with her dog several times. I was very nervous because my doodles are rescues. Lucia likes other dogs. Rosie not so much. My dogs are rescues that were bred. They tend to reject males at a point which stops their use to breed. Stephanie knew this and eased my mind. My dogs love her and her family. It was a perfect fit!”
“I left my Goldendoodle with Eric for 4 days. He was very good at communicating, sending videos and photos. I wasn’t worried at all.I really enjoyed my boarding experience with Eric. Thanks for taking good care of my dog.”
“I hired a pet sitter for the week because my puppy was still potty training. Catherine was great. She made sure Daisy continued to train and even took her with her places. She had many outdoor adventures, was socialized and I received pictures of their outings. I would definitely book with Catherine again.”
“Andrea and her family boarded our dog Yeti for multiple nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Yeti got lots of walks, care, affection, and was truly treated like a member of their family for his stay. We would highly recommend, as such a warm and welcoming ‘home away from home’ for your pet!”
“Amazing dog sitter. They went above and beyond the service. Coco loved them. I was in an accident in my vacation and they were there to extend my stay. They are wonderful people and a beautiful baby. I didn’t expect the kindness that they showed.”
“Vicky and her family were amazing! Our pup was well cared for and they sent picture and text updates. At first I was very apprehensive to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know, once I met Vicky and her family I was completely at ease. We will definitely go back!”
About: I’ve grown up in a house full of animals and love to spoil them with all the treats and toys. I will treat your babies just like how I would treat my own. :) I’m able to watch your babies from my house since I work from home. So I will always be with your babies at all times. I have a fenced in yard. The dog loves everyone and she’s a couch potato but will get off the couch for treats and cuddles. My cats are just as friendly. Your babies will get all the cuddles!
“I have used this sitter twice for my rescue dog Petey. Both times I had excellent service to include one time I had a short notice need. My pup is happy with drop-off and pick-up and all my questions amd communication is responded to promptly. I am thrilled to have a sitter I can rely on after recently moving to the state. I will definitely be making this my go to sitter!”
“Sarah was kind, communicative, and thoughtful. She sent pictures and made us feel very comfortable during Teddy’s first stay with her. They even baked homemade dog treats!! Will definitely reach out to her again in the future.”

They were very friendly, and our fur baby clearly enjoyed his time there and came home happy and relaxed. Her attention to detail was excellent, and she followed our instructions carefully throughout the stay. Overall, our dog seemed very well loved and cared for, and we’d be happy to book with her again. Thanks Kelly and James!”

Amelia and her family were wonderful with our 2yr old Golden Doodle Tula! Through our whole vacation trip she kept updating us with progress, pictures and videos. Adjusted and went out to get her more food when she was running low, and allowed her downtime when she needed it. First time sitter for Tula, and I’m glad that it was a great and lasting experience for her!
I am so happy with Zoey and her care for Max during my 12 day trip. She offered a meet and greet up front so I could see where Max would stay. It is a comfortable peaceful home where Max was given one on one attention. She sent me updates on his settling in the new environment. Zoey even sent pictures showing him on walks, playing and relaxing. All of this personal attention to Max gave me comfort in my time away. I know Zoey cared for Max as I would. I definitely would schedule Zoey for future vacations and highly recommend her to other pet families!
This is the first time I've left my dogs with Lorrie and I'll admit to being a little nervous. I was worried because my dogs get to come to work with me and are never alone for more than three or 4 hours at a time. Additionally, we were going to be gone 9 days and be out of the country. Finding someone who would take the dogs for that long was a bit of a challenge. Lorrie was very understanding and we had a meet and greet in her home so my dogs could meet her dogs. Note: she's got a beautiful fenced in backyard! Once that meeting went well, I booked a short afternoon stay so that my dogs could become more familiar with her and her dogs. They seem to have a good time so we confirmed our big trip. After we dropped the dogs off and all throughout the time we were gone, Lori sent pictures and on one occasion a short video. That communication was very much appreciated. When we got back and picked the dogs up she had given them a bath and had them ready to go. Thank you, Lorrie, for providing a safe and fun environment for our dogs. I would highly recommend you.
Forget the dog, I want Traci to adopt ME for a staycation! Traci is absolutely lovely, and took amazing care of our Zeke, going above and beyond. He’s usually super shy in new places but I could tell from his expression in photos he was comfortable and having a great time! She took him to the beach, snuggled him, and gave him a true second home. We would love to book him another stay with Traci!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Saint Augustine Shores can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Augustine Shores home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saint Augustine Shores.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Saint Augustine Shores sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
