Highly-rated overnight sitters - Armstrong
“Sarah is a kind and reliable sitter. She was easy to contact and communicate with, and most importantly, she cared for my elder dog as if her own. I will definitely contact Sarah for future pup sitting.”
“Bridget and her family were amazing, Bridget was incredibly professional, punctual, and attentive to all of our pups Kermit and Nemo’s needs. The frequent, adorable photo updates put ours and the kids minds at ease while we were gone. We picked up 2 happy dogs, thank you again and will definitely use in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Charley! We received plenty of pictures and feedback about how our doggy was doing. We’ll definitely book with Rachel again.”
“So we needed Christine again, and she was awesome again. We had a delay due to this government shutdown with our flight and could not get home for an extra day, she was able to keep the dogs an extra day, no issues. She also sent tons of pictures over thier stay, saw that our 1 dog had a loose molar and informed us immediately, she is very observant and very caring to our dogs. If you ever need a sitter and she is available, hands down she is your sitter. I dread using another sitter if she is not ever available.”
“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.”
“Super great! One dog sitter. My Rosie got a lot of attention and hugs. She loved her walks. I would definitely use her again! I recommend her who needs one on one care. My Rosie is very spoiled. 😀”
“Boomer had an amazing time with Kristen!!! We received pictures daily on Boomers progress. We feel very confident that we will be using Kristen for our Boarding when and if we need to leave town or have an emergency again. Her care of Boomer was amazing.”
“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.”
“Angel did a great job taking good care of my fur baby including giving him his meds daily. She is an awesome caretaker and she takes the utmost care to ensure he is comfortable, healthy and happy.”
“Laura was great! She was flexible when my flight was rerouted and I was delayed. She sent photos daily and she and her family clearly loved my dog. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Amelia and her family were absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I were on the way to Jacksonville for a weekend trip, and realized last minute that our stay did not allow pets. Amelia responded immediately and was very helpful and friendly! Throughout his stay she sent many pictures and videos of our Stanley having a ball with her other dog and children. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be reaching out to her!”
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. 🐾
“Lisa was a great sitter! We got lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog had so much outdoor playtime and other dog friends to play with. This is a great house where he got lots of attention from everyone in the family. We will definitely Use for booking again. Thank you, Lisa!”
“So thankful to have found Sonia. We needed a last minute place for our 3yo Aussie to stay — not only was Sonia cheerfully willing to watch him at the last min., she sent updates of Fenek enjoying his stay. We will definitely reach out again.”
“We have completed another visit. Everything went smooth as expected, Rebecca and Michael did a great job keeping us informed through the stay and plent of pictures of them having fun. For real, of you need a sitter they are an absolutely top notch sitter.”
“Our dachshund, Peaches, loved her time with Danielle. Danielle gave us lots of updates during Peaches' stay with her (which we loved!). We could tell she was well-cared for while we were away!”

“Mary is attentive, so kind and fun to work with, and so great to our sweet kitties!! Cute photos and good details in each visit. Excited to rebook with her again in the near future.”
About: I currently have a cat of my own and grew up with cats, giving me years of experience understanding their unique personalities and needs. I've also cared for friends' cats while they were away, helping with feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and companionship. I know that cats can take time to warm up to new people, and I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment. I genuinely love animals and enjoy building trust with every pet I care for.
“Lindsay is our second sitter from Rover over the past 6 months. The first one moved and we were so lucky to find Lindsay. Unfortunately for us she lives and works less than 5 mi away. The photos that she sends us each visit are amazing. We have three cats and they love her. Most of the photos have the cats actually licking their lips because of the treats she gives them. She might be their favorite person in the world. Thank you Lindsay for being a part of our babies world. You should be a professional photographer with your great photos.”
“This was the first time having Baily visit with my sweet girl, Kailani (French Bulldog) and Kailani was so excited to see her again since the meet and greet we did. Thank you Baily for making sure Kailani had fun and was taken care of while I was away today!”
About: Animals hold a special place in my heart and I genuinely enjoy taking care of animals, I’ve grown up with them my whole life, I’ve cared for Parakeets, dogs, cats, horses, aquatic animals, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, just about everything in the book. Eventually I would love to make a career in caring for animals of all kinds. I’m a young mother in her 20’s, I’ve competed cosmetology school down in Jacksonville for 1300+ hours of makeup & hair. I have small hobbies such as painting & wood carving, hoping I can start a small business. I work part time & Iove being outside. Taking your pets for walks, playing with them, social interaction, feeding them food and water, playing outside. Etc. whatever your animal may need I can accommodate, if they have any medications I’ll make sure they’re taken care of. Your pets are safe with me.
About: The great thing about cats is that the more time you spend with them, the more affectionate they become! I'm actually currently cat and house sitting, and I love it more everytime as the sweet kitties get more comfortable and loving with me😻I've been taking care of both cats and dogs for 25 years now, and there's nothing that I haven't done or am unwilling to do, for these majestic and awesome creatures. I have a home that is very animal friendly and I'd be happy and honored to have your furry(or hairless) pet's company at my house for any period of time. Or of course will gladly visit your home too. Whatever you or your animals need, I'm up to the task! I'm honest, friendly, a very hard worker and I have an infinite love for all animals. Please let me love your pet like they're my own, and give them a safe & nurturing feeling of home, even when you can't be with them💜 your pets and I are already best friends, we just haven't met yet😁 Thank you for your consideration -Kelly
“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 been an animal person for as long as I can remember! My first dog, Lady, came into my life when I was six, and I’ve had two dogs and five cats over the years. These days, I’m outnumbered by four-legged family members with one dog and three cats of my own. 😂 I’m happy to keep up with your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, litter boxes, medication, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I’m also very patient and understand that not every pet immediately thinks a stranger is their new best friend. No pressure! I’ll let them warm up to me at their own pace. Most importantly, I know pets aren’t “just pets.” They’re family. I’ll take care of yours with the same love, attention, and ridiculous amount of picture-taking that I give my own. 🐾❤️ I work from home managing my own business, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually around throughout the day. Aside from school drop-off/pick-up and the occasional appointment or errand, I’m able to work my schedule around your pet’s needs. That means I can give them plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for hours at a time. Whether they need a midday walk, some playtime, a potty break, meals, or just some company while you’re away, I can usually make it work. Since I’ll be caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, treats, medications, walks, and anything else you’ve asked me to do. I’ll send a picture update each time I visit so you know your pets are doing well, and I’ll let you know if I notice anything unusual or anything that seems off. I’ll also make sure doors are secure, food and water are taken care of, and everything is left the way I found it. Most importantly, I want you to be able to relax while you’re away knowing your pets are getting the care, attention, and love they’re used to.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Armstrong
“I highly recommend Lisa. It's always difficult to find someone to take care of pets last minute during the holidays. She responded quickly and welcomed my Suki with a lot of love. Thank you Lisa”
“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”

About: Hi! My name is Abby, and I have a lifelong love for animals.

“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!”
“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: I think dog’s are awesome animals and they are so loyal. I love being around dogs and seeing their true personalities come out.

Animals are like toddlers and need a lot of care and attention. This is an important thing to remember for any animal owner. I will treat any animal as if they are my own. Every animal on this planet deserves to be treated with love and compassion. In time of their owners absence, it is especially important to make them feel safe and loved.

“Katie was easy to work with. She sent pictures and took Cooper on two walks, and the last one caught them in a rainstorm. They were drenched! Cooper loved it and I loved how she dried him off and brought him to the truck so we wouldn't have to get out in the rain. She really went above and beyond. I highly recommend Katie!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Amby had another fabulous day with Kathy! This was only her second time staying with Kathy, but as soon as we pulled into the neighborhood and then again when we went up to the door, Amby was happily pulling and excited to get inside! She was excited to start playing with Bosley as soon as she got in the door, and then Kathy sent me several pictures throughout the day of Amby having a good time and snuggling. It’s always great to find someone you can trust to take care of your dog, and I would absolutely have Amby stay with Kathy any time!”

“Mary is GREAT! She is communicative and on time. My rescue, Saint, is timid around new people but she has managed to make friends in record time! Having her committed to walk my pup makes my day at work less worrisome. I definitely lucked out finding Mary!”
“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!”

“Katie has been a go-to dog walker and dog sitter as well as caretaker for our three cats. Odin is a loving dog with special needs (he has always been mostly blind) and can sometimes take a while to warm up to someone. With Katie this did not take long and he listens to her when its time to get going. Our cats are very selective and we were shocked how quickly the first time she showed up our cats warmed up to her. Overall great experience with her and highly recommend her to anywho who's not traveling at the same time we are :)”

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 starting college, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have 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.
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
“Cheyenne did the best job walking my pup while we were away on vacation. She always sent updates and pictures. I knew he was in great hands and would absolutely book her again! I highly recommend Cheyenne to take care of your”
About: Just moved to Saint Augustine from Colorado where I had experience caring for lots of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, tortoises and turtles. I just love animals and happy to meet yours! I do this on the side and will only accept when I am fully available. I have one older shitzu and 2 ferrets but can keep separate if needed. Both. I live in apartment so I would only take one at a time so that I can provide individual care. I have two ferrets and an older Shih Tzu.

“Sarah is a kind and reliable sitter. She was easy to contact and communicate with, and most importantly, she cared for my elder dog as if her own. I will definitely contact Sarah for future pup sitting.”
“Bridget and her family were amazing, Bridget was incredibly professional, punctual, and attentive to all of our pups Kermit and Nemo’s needs. The frequent, adorable photo updates put ours and the kids minds at ease while we were gone. We picked up 2 happy dogs, thank you again and will definitely use in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of Charley! We received plenty of pictures and feedback about how our doggy was doing. We’ll definitely book with Rachel again.”
“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.”
“Super great! One dog sitter. My Rosie got a lot of attention and hugs. She loved her walks. I would definitely use her again! I recommend her who needs one on one care. My Rosie is very spoiled. 😀”
“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.”
“Amelia and her family were absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I were on the way to Jacksonville for a weekend trip, and realized last minute that our stay did not allow pets. Amelia responded immediately and was very helpful and friendly! Throughout his stay she sent many pictures and videos of our Stanley having a ball with her other dog and children. If we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be reaching out to her!”
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. 🐾
“Lisa was a great sitter! We got lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog had so much outdoor playtime and other dog friends to play with. This is a great house where he got lots of attention from everyone in the family. We will definitely Use for booking again. Thank you, Lisa!”
“So thankful to have found Sonia. We needed a last minute place for our 3yo Aussie to stay — not only was Sonia cheerfully willing to watch him at the last min., she sent updates of Fenek enjoying his stay. We will definitely reach out again.”
“Our dachshund, Peaches, loved her time with Danielle. Danielle gave us lots of updates during Peaches' stay with her (which we loved!). We could tell she was well-cared for while we were away!”
“I would definitely use Sarah as a pet sitter again! She made everything easy from start to finish. Great communication and very easy to work with. She sent multiple pictures during the stay. Also, updates on how the nervous pup was! For her to house both pups was SO helpful. Highly recommend.”
“We were so happy with Checkers care with Justin and Stephanie! Loved getting the pictures and notes from them while we were gone. We plan to use them from now on as our primary dogsitters.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Mary took amazing care of my dog while I was away for a week. I got photo updates and messages, and it was clear my pup was having a great time and getting lots of love and attention. I’ll definitely be booking with Mary again—highly recommend! 🐶💛”
“Taqueria took excellent care of my dog, Alec, over the 4th of July weekend. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with Alec again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Niko had a great time, I appreciated all of the pictures and updates Lisa sent, my wife and I were out of town and Lisa did a great job at giving me peace of mind. 10/10 I would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
