“Christina was amazing with Max! He was so happy, relaxed, and felt completely at home with her. It’s clear she truly cares for the fur babies she looks after, and Max was comfortable from the very start. I’d highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy.”
“Lisa was fabulous (: We could tell that Cosmo and Charlotte were immediately comfortable in Lisa’s beautiful home and with Lisa & her husband. The backyard is securely fenced with plenty of room for the dogs to play, and Lisa’s home is meticulously kept. From the photos she sent, I could see they were very happy while staying there! We haven’t left them with anyone since Cosmo joined our family and we are so happy to find Lisa. Not only is she conveniently located to us, reasonably priced, and a star sitter with Rover, but our dogs seemed to enjoy their time away. Yay! Thank you, Lisa!”
“Mariana was such a WONDERFUL sitter for old Hilbert!! She took him for 2 walks, dried him off after getting stuck in the rain, and treated him like he belonged to her! If we are ever in St Augustine again, I will definitely use her again!”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
“I DON'T leave Madyson with just anybody. Nycole is such a warm, kind gentle soul. When Madyson met Nycole and Nycole's family on the initial meet and greet, Madyson took an immediate liking to Nycole, Nycole's mom Denise and Nycole's fur babies, Buddy and Angel. So leaving Madyson for a few hours with Nycole gave me a piece of mind knowing Madyson was being well taken care of. I WILL DEFINITELY BE RETURNING WITH MADYSON. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NYCOLE FOR TAKING CARE OF YOUR FUR BABIES WHEN THE NEED ARISES.”
“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”
“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”
“Very clean environment, convenient and flexible with schedules. Eliza is definitely one of the best we heard about when we moved here and she is very good at what she does. We will return.”
“Great communication before and during his stay, sent pics to see how Bear was doing throughout the day. Very clean house and beautiful and safe fenced back yard. Bear had a great time staying there and played with another friendly dog, came home tired. We highly recommend Brittany and will use her services again in the future.”
“Truly amazing! I had been looking for a sitter and Bridget was quick to respond and reassuring my pup would be well taken care of, and she was! She was also accommodating with times, which I really appreciated too. My dog had a blast there with her dog and I loved the updates with pictures I received. Would definitely recommend her to those in need of a sitter!!”
“We were so pleased with Cody and Angel's care. They love staying with Amy and her doggy's. We are very happy . Amy is wonderful looking forward to using the service with Amy alot in the future.”
About: I am a single mom of a 20 old daughter who thinks she is a dog whisper and has never met a dog she doesn’t love. We love all types of dogs. I work full time and get home around 6pm. I am off every weekend and looking to earn some extra income. I am very honest and dependable. I’ve always had some type of animal in my life. I have a black mouth cur mix at home named Emory as well as a cat named Whiskey. Emory loves playing with other dogs and whiskey doesn’t mind them if they don’t mind him. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby and or babies!! I work full time, but have open availability on the weekends. I usually enjoy going out for walks and taking advantage of the fresh air so figured why not make a little extra income and provide love and care for your fur baby at the same time! I do live in an apartment complex but I can still provide leashed walks or available to take them to the dog park if permitted!
About: Your dog will feel pampered, spoiled and loved, and will be treated like a member of our family during their stay. I have had dogs all of my life, usually two or three at a time. I know how to take care of puppies and seniors alike, and every age in between. I am a dog rescuer, and a foster mom whenever possible. I will take dogs up to 15 lbs. only. Each dog has a personality as unique and as individual as people. Their likes, dislikes and habits will be catered to as closely as possible during their stay. Let's schedule a meet and greet to decide if we are a good fit. Drop off and pick-up hours are 10 am - 6 pm. Outside of these hours will be $10, or feel free to reserve an extra day. Fee includes per night, for 24 hour period. Anything past an extra 2 hours will be billed at 1/2 day. Day care covers a 10 hour stay; every hour over is $10. Requirements: >neutered >proof of up-to-date vaccines >flea/tick prevention >friendly with other dogs >food I am home full-time. Errands would never be more than 1-2 hours. Potty breaks are 0-2 hours throughout entire day, up until late in the evening. I require a Meet & Greet with any new client to make sure they get along with my two sweet dogs. They will always be supervised when out in the fenced yard. They can stay in, play or cuddle on the couch - whatever their heart desires. Please bring your fur baby's food, favorite toys, treats, beds, a harness, and a collar with up-to-date tags, including their name!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Augustine South
They took good care of my boy everyone hit it off right from the start Max and their dog Rockey were instant buds. When I picked him up I could tell by Max's affection toward Rachel and her husband they are sweet dog lovers this was a playdate but have them booked for watching him when we go on vacation
Highly recommend! She took Milo in last minute while we were on vacation and took such great care of him. She is very sweet, caring, and kept us updated. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
Morgan was phenomenal!! Not only did she work with me last minute with her having less than 1 hour notice but she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate myself and my high maintence doberman - she saved me in a pinch and I could t be more grateful! Her hospitality and care was genuine and she was steps ahead of me for what I needed as she’s already experienced. I was traveling through St. Augustine and thank goodness she was available to work with me! Shocking bonus is my doberman was unusually calm with her when she’s typically uneasy with strangers the first time, she actually handled things very very well - says a lot!
We had such a great experience! This was a pretty last-minute booking while we were visiting St. Augustine, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. Clara was well cared for and happy when we picked her up, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out for the day. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her flexibility—especially when we ended up running late due to traffic. She was very understanding and kind about it, which meant a lot. We would absolutely trust her with Clara again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care!
Brittany and her family were so welcoming to Daryl! Brittany planned the introduction to make sure everyone was comfortable. She sent multiple pictures and updates to reassure us that Daryl was doing well. Highly recommend, and we will definitely hope to rebook when we are in the area again.
Jenny was AMAZING! She was soooo attentive to our slow moving senior dog. Jenny kept us well informed of our pets day to day activities. She was also very understanding with our unexpected schedule changes. Jenny made us feel extremely comfortable right from the start that our boy would be well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!
Lyndsay and her family took great care of our precious little Billy! She was kind and responsive to us as we celebrated our 10 year anniversary night out in St Augustine. Billy loved playing with her sweet children and her wonderful golden retriever and kitties. We wield definitely book with her again, and are so happy with her care of our little dog.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saint Augustine South commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 524 sitters in Saint Augustine South, 91% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
