“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!”
“Absolutely amazing caretaker! Highly recommend. We still have visits left with Heather, but I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to leave a 5-Star Review! Thank you, Heather!”
About: With seven years of experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of both dogs and cats. My journey has involved caring for a diverse range of pets, from playful puppies to senior dogs, as well as lively kittens and older cats. This experience has equipped me with the skills to provide tailored care that meets the unique requirements of each pet, ensuring their health and happiness at every stage of life. I am adept at managing feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing exercise and socialization, all while fostering a loving and safe environment for them to thrive. My passion for animals drives my commitment to delivering exceptional care and companionship. Here’s a friendly, professional answer that highlights your experience working with dogs and meets the 25-word minimum! I currently work part-time at a dog boarding facility, so I spend my days surrounded by dogs! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. My schedule allows me to dedicate extra time to pet sitting, walks, playtime, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention. Working with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! In my home, I have two beloved dogs that bring endless joy and laughter to my life! Caring for them involves plenty of playtime, cozy cuddles, and adventure-filled walks. I ensure they receive all the love and attention they deserve, from tasty treats to belly rubs, making every day a fun experience. When it comes to caring for clients' dogs and cats, I bring that same enthusiasm and affection! Each pet is treated like family, with personalized care tailored to their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s engaging them in playful activities, providing gentle grooming, or simply enjoying their company, I focus on creating a nurturing environment filled with love and joy. Rest assured, your furry friends will feel right at home in my care!
About: I grew up caring for my beloved cat for 15 years which taught me exactly how to treat with patience love and respect and kindness I am excited to bring that lifelong devotion to dog walking here in Saint Augustine! Because I don't have pets at home right now, your dog will get my 100% undivided attention, energy, and care on every single walk. I look forward to keeping your pup happy, healthy, and safely exercised. I also took care of my neighbors dog while they were away. I have a very open and flexible schedule right now so I’m fully available to work mornings days and evenings. This makes it easy for me to accommodate your dogs regular mid day routine while you are away at work or busy. I am highly reliable punctual and ready to walk whenever your pup needs a break Safety is my absolute top priority whenever I am walking a dog. I always make sure the leash and collar are completely secure before stepping outside, and I stay highly alert to our surroundings. Since my own home is pet-free, you can trust your pet will get my 100% undivided care and focus
About: I’m a medical professional and animal lover lover with a huge heart for dogs, farm animals, lizards, and more! I have extensive practical experience at a vet clinic, at ranches and my own pets. Let me love yours! Over 15 years experience with professional care, but 30+ with my own dogs. Majored in animal science in college with neuro-psych doctorate. I’ll bathe, clip nails, and brush. I have a large yard and safe places to walk. I work from home part time but ant an hospital part time. Sometimes (rarely though) I go away for the weekend to go camping and site seeing. Your babies are welcome to come. They will hike and smell fresh air also. If traveling together, I like to give them a safety harness so they are secure and safe in the car. When I’m home it’s unrestricted access and with your babies. When I work I work from 9-4 in JAX. It it’s flexible and I’ll pay to have someone let your guys out if we need a mid-day walk. I pay for my girl to get a walk. I go for walks multiple times a day. My pug is chill and doesn’t worry about other animals. I only feed dry dog food, but will do anything for your babes.
“Briana was wonderful. She was kind, personable and attentive. Our kitty, Delila, took to her right away... which she usually doesn't do. Highly recommend using Briana.”
“I booked Lindsey for a couple days of cat sitting and she was great. She responded promptly, kept me posted on her availability, and made time to come by beforehand to get to know my kitty's routine. She gave me relevant updates on how things went (whether my kitty ate, his mood, medication, etc.) and always provided pictures. On top of this, she brought in some food and made sure she cleaned the food bowls. I would definitely have Lindsey cat sit for me again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Colin was fantastic and helped us out when we needed a last minute sitter for our dog Oakley. He took great care of him and our minds were at ease knowing Oakley was in good hands while we were away.”
“Bridget was reliable and wonderful with our dog, Scout — he absolutely loved her. She was also incredibly helpful and kind with my elderly mother. We would definitely use her again!”
About: Since I was 10yrs old I’ve been watching my neighbors & friend’s pets while they’re away. I’ve had over 20 clients! I’m a teacher at heart, so I taught my doodle to shut the door behind him and many other fun tricks. I love all dogs/pets and treat them like they’re my own. I’m grateful for the relationships with St. Augustine pups I get to love on! I’m an elementary teacher, so summers are my jam for dog sitting. Whether you’re on vacation or busy with weekend trips, I’m available! Weekends are good too! I can visit your home to ensure your dog feels comfortable in their environment. I’ve had experience staying in other people’s home to care for their pets while they’re away.
About: For the past 12 years, I have been training dogs and managing doggie daycares. My main focus over the past 5 years has been getting deeper into the training community, working for local organizations and shelters training service dogs for veterans and opening my dog training company, Palms and Paws Dog Training, LLC. I also have experience in insulin injections and medication in both dogs and cats. My schedule is currently wide open and very flexible! I am able to do new drop in visits, walks and boarding both in my home and at your home. I am married to my wife and currently live in an apartment on the second floor. I have a 14 year old male cat and a 12 German shepherd that get along great. I have done board and trains in the past where dogs came to my home to train so I am familiar with crating and rotating and understand the importance of daily walks and enrichment. I have worked at and managed multiple boarding facilities and am very familiar with all dogs needs both inside and outside of the home as well as their physical, emotional and mental needs. I am equally as passionate about cats and am more than happy to take the time they need to build trust.
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. One day I would live to have a dog, but I want to wait until I have a backyard to let them run. I work a 9-5, but I am remote. This gives me flexibility to tend to your animals needs. 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.
About: I've cared for animals my entire life and truly love them like family. Growing up, I helped my neighbor with Operation Catnip, where we trapped, rescued, and rehabilitated feral cats and dogs. I assisted with feeding, bathing, walking, giving medication, changing litter—whatever the animals needed. Over time, I started my own small pet care business for friends and family, and I also volunteered at my hometown's local animal shelter. I've fostered animals over the years as well, so I'm experienced with pets that need extra patience and care. Whether you're looking for someone to care for a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet who needs gentleness and routine—I treat every animal like they're my own. If you want someone who genuinely loves animals and has hands-on experience, I’m the sitter for you! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life, and I have a very flexible schedule to support it! I'm available on weekends, holidays, and evenings, which makes it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine—whether it's a late-night potty break, an early morning walk, or holiday coverage when you're out of town. I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for no matter the time of day. You can count on me for dependable and attentive care whenever you need it! When I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your pet’s regular routine—feeding schedules, walk times, play, medication, and any special instructions. I'm experienced with administering medications, managing crate time, and keeping things clean and organized. For dogs, I offer safe, enjoyable walks based on their energy and comfort level. I’m also experienced with crate-trained dogs, senior pets who need a slower pace, and anxious pups who need extra patience and calm. For cats, I provide gentle, attentive care—cleaning litter, keeping feeding areas tidy, and respecting their space or snuggle needs depending on their personality. I'm also comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s a quick walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets will be loved, safe, and treated like family every time.
“Olivia was awesome taking care of my little Leopoldo while I was away ❤️ She is super reliable and responsive and I definitely recommend her and hope to have her persisting him again in the future :)”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting since I was 12. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I treat my dogs and other pets like they are my brother/sister, son/daughter, etc. I am patient with pets and allow them to get comfortable with me. I am currently working small jobs including personal soccer training and babysitting. I also compete on a Semi-Pro Soccer team that practices at night on Tuesdays and Thursdays and plays games on most Wednesdays and Saturdays. I am available the majority of the day besides during these conflicts that vary between 1-3 hours each. I treat pets like they are my own and will be able to complete any requests by the owner, including crating, feeding at a certain time, walking a certain distance, and/or spending time playing with the pet(s).
“Katie helped me with my two dogs while I was out of town. We did drop in visits and Katie did great! She followed instructions well, communicated with me and sent me pictures of the doggies. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Our little 7 month old kitten Wooly Bully loved Brittney. They played, romped and snuggled. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. We look forward to knowing he's having fun when we are traveling in the future. I highly recommend Brittney for any pet parents going on a trip. We also appreciated your communication and cute photos. Thank YOU!”
About: I help to care for two dogs at home, one of which struggles with anxiety. I frequently volunteer at a local cat shelter where I help care for and socialize animals. I’m fresh out of college and still looking for a job, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. Reach out whenever! My dogs are fed twice a day and walked at least twice a day, not counting regular potty breaks. If your pets have any more advanced needs or schedules, I’m happy to accommodate them.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vermont Heights
Heather will be our go-to cat sitter from here on out. Right after moving to St. Augustine, we had a pre planned wedding in Europe for 2 weeks. Heather did everything we asked and so much more, even watering our plants and adding to the fish tank reservoir, which was beyond appreciated—our home has a lot of life in it! She sent photos of both of our babies each visit, gave a good summary of how they’re doing and how the visit went, and even swept up for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. On the last day, one of our babies locked herself in the restroom, and as soon as I saw it on camera, I texted Heather and she was at the house within 15 minutes. Look no further—Heather is the best!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
