“If you're looking for someone to care for your pets, I cannot recommend Shelli enough! She watched our cats while we were away, and she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day, so leaving him is always incredibly stressful. We had originally planned to board them, but between the cost and the required vet visit beforehand, it just wasn't the right fit. Shelli completely put our minds at ease. She made sure they were fed, gave insulin exactly as needed, spent time playing with them, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and even cleaned up after one of our cats got sick. It was obvious she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Being able to enjoy our time away without constantly worrying about our fur babies was priceless. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you, Shelli, for taking such amazing care of our kitties! We will absolutely be using you again and would recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
“Absolutely wonderful, compassionate, and trust worthy. I couldn’t imagine leaving our cats with anyone else, especially since one needs medication. There no one better out there than Tori!”
“Highly recommend! Replies quickly & squeezed us in super last minute. So so nice and our boy loved her immediately. She took great care of Ajax while we were out for dinner”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands on experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra love and care. I’m patient, attentive, and trained in basic puppy obedience, crate training, and leash manners, which helps young dogs build great habits early on. For senior pets, I provide calm, compassionate care and understand the importance of routine, medication schedules, and mobility support. I treat every pet like my own, tailoring my care to their unique personality and needs whether that means active playtime or quiet companionship. I have recently graduated and am unsure of what I would like to do career wise. I figured it would be good to utilize my skills and love for animals to help out others! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that feels familiar and stress free for them. I follow each pet’s routine closely feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to keep things consistent. I also make sure to give plenty of one on one attention, whether it’s cuddle time, exercise, or simply being present so your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away!
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every pet like family. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, even over nights all while giving lots of love while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I currently work from home so it’s easier for me to naturally fit pet care into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so I can give pets the attention they deserve—whether that’s morning and evening walks, feeding times, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m used to building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the pet’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I keep a clean, safe environment and always watch for any changes in behavior or needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I also respect their space and follow any specific instructions they provide so their pet feels secure in their familiar environment.

Pets are treated like family and receive consistent daily care including feeding, exercise, playtime, and supervision within a structured routine.

About: I'm a professional and responsible caretaker of 25 years now, of dogs, cats, children, the elderly and residential family homes as well as commercial properties, and I love it more with each passing year! I am a personable and energetic companion, with an infinite amount of love for all animals. There's nothing that I'm unable to do and no job too big or too small. I value this opportunity to be your best friend's home away from home and give them all of the love that you would give to them, because they deserve it and so do you! It such a rewarding and touching experience to enjoy the same animals loving me more and more over time, and eventually just being affectionate as can be! I love knowing that I can send you pictures(as often as you'd like) of your fur baby, giving you relief and knowing that not only is your dog safe and nurtured, but happy and loved! I've always said that I just want to cuddle with dogs all day and still pay my bills haha. Although I was mostly joking, how amazing is it that I can actually make that dream a reality!!😻 Maybe mans' best friend but your dog is also my best friend too...if you could please just help to introduce us to each other. Thank you for your consideration Best Kelly I am fully open and available for any booking, for any period of time, for any amount of pets! The more animals I get to see in a day, the better! I treat every animal as if they were my own child! It's hard enough to be away from their parents at all, so I am just as positive, affectionate, loving and comforting as I can possibly be, so your pets feel comfortable and at peace. I communicate with the pet and/ or homeowner to find out exactly what they expect from me, and always write down all of the specifics of animal care(food & water and frequency, medicines, restrictions, if they go outside or stay inside, things they like or find comfort in like their favorite toy or treat to ensure that feel as much at home as I can make them feel) so I don't forget anything important! I usually reread the list everyday that I'm there, just to be sure not to miss anything. Lastly I always spend the last hour or day cleaning up after myself & the pet, to leave things nicer than I found them. Whether it's taking their trashcan to the road and gathering their mail, along with washing their dishes and making sure the bathroom and kitchen are nice & clean for them to come home to. Or it could be giving the dog a bath if I'm not house sitting as well. Basically if you're going to pay me to do something, I'm going to make it worth your while and be as helpful, clean and efficient as possible! Just a basic rundown in addition to feeding and walking and picking up after said animal, I like to go above and beyond what is expected of me. I reach for the best customer service I can possibly provide, to hopefully create a very happy dog and parents, as well as a repeat customer! If you hire me, you will not regret it! Thank you for your consideration -Kelly
About: I am in love with all animals and would have a million if I could. I’ve had pets my entire life. There has never been a time where I didn’t have a pet at home. I currently have two cats that rule the roost. I foster kittens during kitten season. I’m trustworthy, responsible, professional, fun, kind, reliable, and readily available! I am off Mondays Tuesdays and Saturdays. I get off at 6 when I do work so I could do morning and night visits if needed We will go on 2 walks a day, in the morning and evening. I can easily crate your dog, walk your dog, cuddle your furbabies and spoil with treats and scratches!
“Jessica was so great with our two cats! She took excellent care of them for the four days we were out of town. Jessica provided detailed updates and sent lots of pictures. Everything was great with the cats and the house when we got back. Definitely recommend Jessica!”
“Nathalie is a true professional! We have hired Nathalie for Drop In visits as well as Housesitting visits and she is always punctual, responsible and loves on all our kitties like they are her own. She gives fantastic updates and reports on each kitty and all the happenings around the house. We feel such comfort knowing Nathalie is there for our 6 kitties while we are away!”
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.
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. 🐾
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

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine Shores
I reached out to Renee a little last minute after my original pet sitting plans fell through, and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating! She came for a meet and greet and was so kind and easy to work with. We had an unexpected change in plans during the stay, and Renee was incredibly flexible and willing to adjust. She was even able to give one of my cats her medication, which is no easy task since my cats tend to hide from strangers! I really appreciated her communication and flexibility throughout the entire process and would absolutely recommend her!
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 :-)

Michelle was amazing! We’ve never used Rover, but we were out of town and didn’t wanna leave our pups too long while we were off doing fun things. We saw Michelle on Rover and she had great reviews. Even though she was working that day, she took the time to come walk the dogs when she had a break. She was amazing.
Lucas was awesome! He came over to care for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend, and everything went great. He was reliable, communicative, and made us feel comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. We came home to happy pups and really appreciated the care he gave them. Highly recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Ella is a real gem! We reached out with only a week’s notice to request drop-ins for our “office” (stray) cats, and she jumped right in to help. Her communication and response times were excellent from start to finish. I loved receiving the updates and photos every morning - it was a great start to my day. She followed all instructions to a tee, and the boys were clearly very well looked after. It’s clear that she truly cares about the animals she watches. I would certainly use Ella again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saint Augustine Shores is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,325 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saint Augustine Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 93% 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.
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.
