“Birdie had a great stay with Aura and her family. I appreciated the updates and photos. I was happy to see my energetic pup running around having fun with the other dogs. I will definitely rebook. Thank you!”
“This was the first extended stay with Sarah. Our Yorkie mix did great. Sarah’s background as a vet tech gave us confidence in his care. I know our Yorkie had a good time because we was super happy and excited when we arrived to pick him up and he was calm and relaxed on the drive home. With other sitters, the drive home he has been anxious with heavy panting. Thank you Sarah for your comforting care!”
“Bridget and her family were the best sitters for our pups! It was clear they were well loved and taken care of, even got baths before they came home! Highly recommend for your loved fur friends 👍🏻”
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“I had a good experience with Marina. even though my dog pepper only stayed with her for a day I think my pepper had a good day. I was going on a cruise for a week and my sister-in-law was going to watch my dog but could only do it on June 2nd so I had a day that I needed someone to watch pepper. I happen to find Rover and it was a good fit. Marina was easy to work with as far as meet and greet and finding her apartment. even though it was only one day she still sent pictures and updates . I would recommend Marina if you're looking for someone to watch your pet.”
“We needed a last minute dogsitter for our puppy while we left town for a few days. Christina not only was willing to watch our dog on a last minutes notice but took the best care of him! He came back calm, happy, and relaxed. We knew he felt so comfortable with her. Thank you so much for such great care of our dog, Christina! We can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have had a family dog in my life more years than not. I have always been an animal lover. I especially love dogs and their sweet personalities. I am currently in college, so I typically have a class in the morning and am available the remainder of the day, with some exceptions. I do not typically work during the week so I will have wide availability. I love taking the dogs on walks and playing with them. My apartment has a dog park which is also fun to let them run around and play at.
“Brad is an excellent care taker of my 17 year old Morkie. Lucky is blind and trying to live out the remianing years in the best way possible. Having someone care for him when I need to travel is essential. Brad treats lucky as if its his own. Lucky always is comfortable with his stay there, getting special care and attention. I highly recommended Brad for your pet, no matter the age or breed.”
“Rebecca and Michael had our chihuahua again. The communication and pictures is very consistent and frequent. They have never missed a beat when they have watched our dogs. I have 0 fear leaving them with Rebecca and Michael. If you are needing a sitter I recommend them for sure.”
“Thank you Michelle! Dogs had a great time. It was like we were never gone. Don't think they missed us at all. It is obvious to us that you provided a worry free environment. Thanks ahain!”
“Lisa and her loving family were the best we could have hoped for!! Our Marley is a rescue we adopted about 8 months ago; she is almost 4 years old and spent most of her first three years in a crate; had terrible separation anxiety! We were going to be away for over two weeks and could not leave her in a conventional pet care facility where she would be alone at night! Lisa and her family provided the home away from home we needed; without Lisa we could not have enjoyed our vacation! Thank you Lisa and family!!”
“I'm so glad I found Danielle! She and her family treated Bradley as if he were their own, showing such kindness and genuine care. It's clear they have a deep love for animals. Danielle went above and beyond by keeping me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a loving and responsible pet sitter.”
“Amelia and her family were super nice. We had an issue and needed a sitter last minute. Amelia was able to take our fur kid right away and sent us pictures and updates at all times. I definitely recommend her if you are in the St Augustine area.”
“Natalie came through for us when we needed our pup boarded for Thanksgiving. She really loves animals and it shows. She is very kind and even came to pick up Maddie free of charge. We will definitely book with Natalie again if needed and I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies because they are in good hands with Natalie!”
“I was totally blown away by Laura and her family! I made a last minute request on Rover for our 11 lb Havanese, Teddy,.....and Laura responded within minutes! She was extremely communicative before, during, and after Teddy's stay with her at her house. Lots of pictures kept us informed about how much fun Teddy was having. We highly recommend Laura and will definitely be using her again!”
“The girls love it there. I got several pictures a day from Stephanie showing how happy they were. They have a buddy in KOA. It’s a relief to know they are so well cared for.”
“Mariana was so kind and loving to my dog. She has knowledge about caring for senior dogs and it shows. She updated me everyday and I would love to have her take care of my dog anytime.”

“I told Mary how nervous I was about her walking Hank because he is so reactive to other dogs and people she is amazing and so caring and made me feel sooo comfortable. 1000% recommend trusting her with your sweet pets!”
“Renee was once again awesome. My cat, Juice, is very comfortable with her and she’s gives all the right details when filling out the reports at the end of every visit. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
“Samantha took my booking with only a few days notice, which I was extremely grateful for. She followed the directions I gave her, for my cats, to a T! She will be my go -to person for any future trips I take.”
“What an amazing experience and person. Great communication and tons of pictures. Shasta was not only well cared for, she was super chill when we came home. No anxiety or stress, just happy. Have already booked 2 additional trips and many more to come. Thank you!!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being.

About: Through volunteer work with a cat rescue organization, I’ve provided hands-on care for stray and highly timid cats. Working with both rescue cats and my own has given me a strong understanding of cat behavior, routines, and body language. I’ve been around cats since I was a baby and currently have three of my own. I’ve also cared for cats with special needs who required daily oral medication, so I’m familiar with medication administration. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, litter box habits, and all the small details that help keep cats healthy, comfortable, and stress-free.
“We were so lucky to have Gillian as our cat sitter for Black Fury! She took wonderful care of our incredibly shy and skittish boy, and we were amazed at how well he warmed up to her gentle and caring approach. Gillian kept our home tidy, the litter boxes clean, and showed such conscientious attention to every detail. She’s truly a gem, and we’re thrilled to have her as our go-to sitter from now on. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!”
“5/5 – Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! 🌟 Molly was an absolute gem as our cat and house sitter. From the moment we met for the meet & greet, she came across as so professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — she instantly put our minds at ease. She asked all the right questions, took detailed notes, and made us feel completely confident leaving our home and our shy boy, Black Fury, in her hands. During the sit, she went above and beyond in every way. Black Fury (who normally hides from anyone new for days) warmed up to her beautifully — I still can’t quite believe it! We received lovely regular updates with little stories about their day, which meant the world to us while we were away. Our home was looked after with such care, everything was spotless, and it honestly felt like Molly was just another member of the household. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, kind, and capable. It was truly a pleasure having her in our home, and we would welcome her back with open arms in a heartbeat. We’re already looking forward to booking her again next time we travel! Thank you so much, Molly — you’re the best! 🐾🏡”
About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence.

I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.

About: As a child/teen, I walked, fed, bathed and walked pets for my friends, family and neighbors. My family has always had multiple pets of all sorts. Animal loving runs in my blood! Although I work full time (M-F 8-5), my lunch breaks are flexible and I will work those around whatever is needed of me. I also do drop ins and walks after 5:00. Weekends are very open.

About: I have worked at a doggy boarding and daycare facility for eight years. I have been managing for three of those eight years. I have cared for numerous breeds and dogs of all ages. I do have a soft spot for elderly dogs, but do love walking and playing with younger, energetic dogs as well. As a result of my years of experience, I am capable of giving all forms of medication, making meals (dry, canned, homemade, raw, etc), and I have worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I have started this little business because I have seen how much happier pets are when they are cozy at home compared to a boarding facility, especially if they are prone to anxiety when they are away from home. I, myself, own a corgi named Clancy. He is a very happy little boy. I am off from my other job from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday. I have appointments every other Thursday from 11 to 1:30, but aside from that, I'm free. Walking and drop-ins work best for my schedule as they are the most flexible jobs offered here. I will walk your dogs wherever you feel comfortable. If they have a beloved route, I will keep them on it. During drop-ins, I will adhere to any instructions you have. At my place of work, I follow food and care instructions (that always vary) daily.

About: Having been a pet/dog owner, I know the importance of providing excellent care for all pets.

I am extremely respectful of my clients home and property. I follow all instructions strictly and if problems arise I will contact the owner to get things sorted out quickly and safely.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, starting with my own Puggle, Zoey. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I cared for my 16-year-old Puggle who had diabetes, so I’m very familiar with administering medications and making sure medical needs are always a top priority. I also have a special place in my heart for dogs with anxiety and take pride in creating a calm, comforting environment where they can feel secure. I’ve also been working in the pet care industry for a while as I pursue my goal of becoming a professional dog groomer, so I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. At home, I have my own 2 year old Chihuahua, who is my little baby. I would love the opportunity to share that same love, patience, and plenty of cuddles with your fur baby. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is very flexible at this time. Please contact me so that we can schedule a time to meet your pet care needs. I look forward to getting to know your fur baby in the future! I have a dog friendly home. We have the ability to meet your pet’s various medical needs. Our home is filled with cuddles, love, and treats!
About: Although I started as a dog person, I fell in love with cats when I started cat-sitting for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old. now, I have two cats that live with me (Oliver and Zelda) and another cat (Bailey) that lives with my best friend (we have shared custody). I’m an expert in cleaning litter boxes, feeding, tiring out cats with playtime, and administering medications (pills and topicals, not trained in injections). I have taught all three of my cats fetch so your furbaby may want to play when you get back home!

“I am so grateful to have found Mariana to take care of my dog Bentley. She is a fantastic, caring and loving person and Bentley had a wonderful, fun, and safe time with Mariana. While I was out on vacation, Mariana took care of Bentley so professional and so sweet. I will leave Bentley again with Mariana without a doubt. Thank you.”
“Lindsey and Leroy were great with my dog. They were flexible with the times we needed a sitter and kept me up to date while my dog was in their care. Lindsey was very communicative and I would use her again!”
“Molly is very kind and took excellent care of our special needs dog, Bandit. She keeps a super clean environment and goes the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
“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.”
About: Note: our rating is only under 5 stars because we fell behind with updating the app when we had several life changes in 2023. However we have nothing but positive reviews! I have taken care of dogs on and off since childhood. My wife and I both love dogs and have enjoyed taking care of our own two dogs. We spend tons of time walking them, taking them to the park, and cuddling with them. Your dog would receive the same love, attention, care, and prioritization as we give our two. One of us is always home. My wife works from home during the day, and I'm home in the late afternoons and all evening. We take our dogs out frequently and are able to attend to any of your pet's needs throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard on over an acre of property. We also are happy to take frequent walks or trips to the park of your dog has high energy needs. We have a large home with plenty of indoor space as well. Jacquelin is a stay at home mom to our 5 year old son with lots of help from extended family. Pet care can therefore be prioritized during the day, and Shannon is home in the evening and weekends and loves spending that free time playing with the dogs in our care. Pet needs are definitely able to be (and are) prioritized. Pets are given lots of attention, we make that it's not just their basic needs are attended to, but also that they get lots of extra love and attention! We are both meticulous in our attention to detail and will make sure all needs and wants are met. Jacquelin is a stay at home mom with lots of help with our 5 year old son with extended family, so she has plenty of time and flexibility to meet your pet’s needs! We have a completely fenced in yard. All of our dogs are friendly, however I tend to air on the side of caution and keep dogs separated generally, especially if the pet parent prefers.
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.

“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.

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! 🐾💕”

“I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic dog walking service provided by William for my beloved Coco. As a dog owner, finding a reliable and caring walker is crucial, and William has exceeded all expectations!! From day one, William has been incredibly dependable. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, rain or shine. Knowing that Coco is in good hands gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work or school. Communication with William is seamless. He is always responsive to messages, and he proactively updates me on Coco's walks. I appreciate the occasional photos he sends – they brighten up my day and allow me to see Coco enjoying her time with him :) Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend William as a dog walker for any fur parent. His genuine love for dogs, combined with his professionalism and reliability, makes him an outstanding choice. Coco is in great hands with William, and I am grateful to have him as a trusted dog walker. Thank you, William, for providing such exceptional care and love to Coco on her walks!”

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. Cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, bearded dragons— you name it. I've done pet setting during high school, and now that I'm going to college soon, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have the most experience working with cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and recently had an elder dog for many years. I've volunteered at the humane society for fostering, so I can take care of kittens as well if needed. I have a very open schedule since I just recently graduated. I'm available to come over and check on pets between 9am-9pm any day of the week. I have open availability for house sitting as well, but for more info please feel free to contact me! I always make sure the pets are healthy and happy whenever I see them. I can clean up any messes or accidents they may have made, and I can give medicine in their food or orally. If your pet is a little skittish at first, it's not a problem! I'll let them come to me at their own pace so they won't get scared, and I'll be sure to offer plenty of treats as well.

As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
About: I’m dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always have peace of mind while away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for instead of treating them like “just another booking.” I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including: * Puppies who need patience, consistency, potty breaks, and structure * Senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, medication reminders, or gentle care * Shy or anxious pets who need time, calm energy, and reassurance * Active dogs who benefit from playtime, walks, and engagement I just moved from New Jersey to St. Augustine. I use to pet sit and walk dogs for my neighbors so looking to build my client list here! I have full time availability. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for like family. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special instructions from the owner to help them feel secure while you’re away. In my client’s home, I respect the pet’s normal schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel connected and reassured.
About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As I grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I have full time availability currently. I am usually up around 5/6am so I am happy to do early mornings. I am up for late night drop ins as well if needed. I do not have a yard but I love to take the dogs to parks and walk around. If they are potty trained, I am more than happy to keep them in my house.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: Hi, I’m Catie! I work full-time from home and love spending my free time outdoors with animals whenever I can. My family and friends joke that I “disappear” in public because I’ll stop to greet every dog I see or, if I’m out on a run, I’ll randomly pause just to say hi to cats sitting outside along the way. Being active and around pets is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes pet care a natural fit for me. I take care instructions seriously and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, stays on their normal routine, and is happy and well cared for. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and those with special health needs. I’m comfortable with senior care, special diets, and helping animals who need extra patience to warm up. I also have volunteer experience with a rescue organization, along with hands-on experience administering medications and managing special diets. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature to me, and I understand how important cleanliness and consistency are for cats. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to adjust my availability as needed. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and clear communication. I’m basically that person who can’t resist taking pictures of photogenic pets, so expect a lot of cute photo spam too. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own and am used to keeping up with schedules, routines, and all the day-to-day care that comes with them. Since I work from home, I also have the flexibility to fit visits into my day more easily than someone with a more structured work schedule. I’m very intuitive with animals and usually pick up quickly on their moods, comfort levels, and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow their usual routine as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box care, and any other instructions. I also pay close attention to behavior and comfort to make sure they’re getting the care and attention they need while their favorite human is away.
About: 🐾✨Passionate and dedicated Vet Tech with a year of hands-on experience in animal care. Currently pursuing my LVT certification, I bring extensive medical knowledge and genuine love for every furry friend I meet. As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important trust and compassion are when caring for your pets.💖 With a flexible 4-day work week at my clinic, and I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give your pets the care they deserve. 🐶🐱 When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their environment and routine as normal as possible.

About: I have experience with small, medium, large, and XL dogs! I've experienced leash aggression dogs as well. With that being said I can also watch reptiles! I have my own cats, toffee hognose, zero-bearded dragons, and a leopard gecko. As someone who has their own pets, I know the importance of knowing that your fur baby is cared for in your absence. Currently, I am a grad student at USAHS enrolled in the OTD program. I have class Monday-Friday but am not gone for longer than 3-4 hours a day. After classes your pet will be with me for the rest of the day so we will have a ton of time to play! Your pet will never go anywhere unsupervised, he/she will always be taken care of as if they were my own, they will be walked every potty break, they will be the only dog in the home too. The only times I will be gone is for classes/labs. I will stick to the rover times you've set through the app to ensure you feel safe with each visit. I'm more than happy to send pictures and videos for updates as well.
“Shannon was great with our dogs. He realized that the girls are a bit shy when meeting new people and didn’t try and force them to be immediately ok with him. We look forward to continuing having Shannon help us out with walks here and there.”
About: I've been an animal lover ever since I was a kid, so much so that I wanted to be a vet at the age of 5. I grew up with animals in the house (dogs, cats, and fish) and started taking care of them as soon as I was old enough. aside from nannying, my first job was dog walking/sitting and to this day it is still something I enjoy doing. I have 15+ years of experience in dog walking, feeding, safety, and administering medication (pills and topicals, not trained in injections). I love all breeds and am a highly active individual so I hope your furbaby is ready to play! My schedule is mostly open. I’m unavailable on weekdays from 9 am to 1 pm but could potentially squeeze in a quick visit from 8:30-9 if needed. My weekday afternoons and evenings are mostly open. Weekends are usually pretty open as well! I do travel about once a month, but I will be sure to reach out ahead of time and/or block it out in the app. Your pet's safety is my top priority while they’re in my care and I will treat them as if they are my own. that being said, they will have my full attention throughout our visit. in addition, I love taking pictures of the animals I care for so I will be sending updates!

“Birdie had a great stay with Aura and her family. I appreciated the updates and photos. I was happy to see my energetic pup running around having fun with the other dogs. I will definitely rebook. Thank you!”
“This was the first extended stay with Sarah. Our Yorkie mix did great. Sarah’s background as a vet tech gave us confidence in his care. I know our Yorkie had a good time because we was super happy and excited when we arrived to pick him up and he was calm and relaxed on the drive home. With other sitters, the drive home he has been anxious with heavy panting. Thank you Sarah for your comforting care!”
“Bridget and her family were the best sitters for our pups! It was clear they were well loved and taken care of, even got baths before they came home! Highly recommend for your loved fur friends 👍🏻”
“Dani did a great job with our pups. They seemed really comfortable in her home and all the doggie toys that she provided for them. We will definitely leave them with her again!”
“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Lisa and her loving family were the best we could have hoped for!! Our Marley is a rescue we adopted about 8 months ago; she is almost 4 years old and spent most of her first three years in a crate; had terrible separation anxiety! We were going to be away for over two weeks and could not leave her in a conventional pet care facility where she would be alone at night! Lisa and her family provided the home away from home we needed; without Lisa we could not have enjoyed our vacation! Thank you Lisa and family!!”
“I'm so glad I found Danielle! She and her family treated Bradley as if he were their own, showing such kindness and genuine care. It's clear they have a deep love for animals. Danielle went above and beyond by keeping me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of a loving and responsible pet sitter.”
“Amelia and her family were super nice. We had an issue and needed a sitter last minute. Amelia was able to take our fur kid right away and sent us pictures and updates at all times. I definitely recommend her if you are in the St Augustine area.”
“Natalie came through for us when we needed our pup boarded for Thanksgiving. She really loves animals and it shows. She is very kind and even came to pick up Maddie free of charge. We will definitely book with Natalie again if needed and I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies because they are in good hands with Natalie!”
“The girls love it there. I got several pictures a day from Stephanie showing how happy they were. They have a buddy in KOA. It’s a relief to know they are so well cared for.”
“First time using Roseanna and I've already put a request in for another visit. My dogs did great and I got lots of pics several times a day - always reassuring. She has the energy needed for my active retriever and also very caring to my temperamental aussie. I love family environments for my dogs. Thank you, Roseanna!”
“We had a great experience with Labresha! Our dog clearly enjoyed his stay and came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and we felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands.”
“Coach had a great time with Heather and her family. She was very communicative and sent me home with one tired dog! We would definitely leave Coach in Heather’s care again.”
“I just had my first boarding of my five year-old calm Doberman with Mary. Everything seemed to go perfectly, as he was welcomed into their home and by her kids as well. Plenty of snuggles and playtime. I’ll definitely board Reagan with her again.”
“Zeke had a great time with Nicole and her sweet family. He received lots of love and attention. Nicole was super quick to respond to my texts and was very accommodating. I will definitely use her again.”
“From the moment I met Kelly, I knew she was the perfect person to care for my furbaby Murdock. He is very shy and doesn't like to meet new people. Kelly set up a meet and greet proud to Murdock's stay. She was so kind and I could tell she really loves dogs. She has a very gently manner about her and speaks in a very soothing tone to the pets. She gave updates, and sent photos of him looking like he felt safe and happy. He eventually started going to her when called and enjoyed all the loving attention she gave him. Murdock even felt comfortable enough with Jim, her spouse, to take walks with him, something he had never allowed in the past, as he seemed more fearful of men than anything. When I picked him up, I could tell that it was a wonderful experience for. Murdock, and I know it has helped him to not be afraid with strangers. I recommend Kelly and Jim with the highest regard and will always reserve boarding time for Murdock with them as needed. So happy I found them! And .Murdock is too!”
