“It was a great pleasure meeting Marlene. She asked a lot of questions about my dogs on our first meet and greet. To which I thought was very professional and very compassionate. Thank goodness I found a great dog walker.”
About: Growing up with dogs, I love all dogs like my own! Playtime is my favorite time of the day and my large backyard is the perfect place for any breed and size. 🦴 I am home the majority of the day, so your pup will get all the love and attention their heart desires. 🐶 I cared and provided medical care for my diabetic dog with back leg paralysis for 10 years so I have experience with administering medication and attending to any medical needs! 🐾 Wake up & let’s go for a 1 mile walk! 10K steps! A little snoozing time afterwards, then another walk to the park and let’s play fetch! Afterwards dinner and then we’re watchin tv! I love sending photos!! I’ll happily send you pics coming and going. I always over-communicate & will do whatever required to make owners feel secure.
“Kaitlyn was great! Really enjoyed working with her. She was great about coming over before to meet our dog and learn the apartment complex. She was very friendly and asked good questions. She was timely and great with communication. Would hire her again!”
“Colby is so communicative! His initial response to my inquiry was timely and I love how he keeps me posted on how Roy’s walk went. He is reliable and friendly. Roy really enjoys his company!”
“Ali is AMAZING! She was super flexible when I made schedule changes last minute and loved on my pups so well! She was very communicative and sent photos and videos with updates. I had no fears having Ali come over and take my crazy dogs for a walk while I was away at work. I will definitely be rebooking, thanks again Ali!!”
About: Hi there! While I'm new to the St. Petersburg area, I’m not new to caring for pets, specifically dogs. I've cared for my own dogs since high school, and have experience with many breeds while working at a dog kennel and specialty pet food shop. I also have experience caring for pets of friends and family when their people are away. I enjoy long walks with my own dogs, rain or shine, and look forward to sharing those with your furry friend as well. My backseat is equipped with a seat cover, so let's hit the road! While I have experience with many breeds, I prefer working with small to medium breeds. I work full-time outside of Rover, so my availability fills up quickly. Let me know if you think we'd be a great fit! You can find me outside just after sunrise walking my dogs around the block, and again at sunset throwing the ball with them in the backyard. When caring for your pet, I engage them in their favorite activities, whether it's playing catch, walking, or solving puzzles. I'll keep you updated with photos and videos, so you always know your dog is happy. I’m experienced in handling special needs like feeding schedules and medication. My goal is to make your pet feel at home!
About: I have grow up around animals my whole life. Not only have I been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a kid, I also had 2 dogs and a cat growing up and now have a cat of my own. On a regular basis I pet sit for my entire family as well as several friends when they go away on trips. I have looked after a wide variety of animals from cats and dogs to birds, reptiles and rabbits! I am comfortable administering medications and shots and have experience doing this with my own cat. I like animals more than people and will provide the most excellent care for your fur baby! I currently am working a part time and just moved to St. Pete! My schedule is very flexible with lots of availability to look after your pets I completely respect other peoples homes and always leave the house spotless. I am happy to water plants, clean up and do household tasks in addition to pet care. My home is spotless and I would never leave someone’s house without making it nicer than when I arrived!
About: I have taken care of pet’s my entire life. From growing up with both dogs and cats, to having my own after high school. I have spent years taking care of friends, family, and neighbors animals as well. I have never met a pet that didn’t love me! I care so deeply about animals and am communicative, responsible, and attentive. I promise your babies will be in good hands! I work from home 5 days a week, so I have plenty of time to take breaks to care for your angel babies. My schedule is very flexible! I am responsible and will be exactly what you need. If your dog needs walks, has specific needs, or your pet needs extra attention during drop-ins. I am here to help! I go above and beyond in my care for animals.
About: I’ve always had a furry sidekick by my side. I naturally became everyone’s go-to from family & friends. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I work full-time Monday–Friday, but my schedule is very flexible. That means I can check in on your pet as often as needed and make sure they’re getting consistent care and attention. I’m open to both short-term and long-term bookings depending on what you need. I live in a cozy home near Gulfport, currently don’t have pets of my own. After losing my little fur angel Joji a few years ago, it’s just been me and I treat every pet in my care with that same love and gentleness I had for him. Whether your pup is full of energy or prefers a slower pace, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. Active dogs can join me for runs along Coffee Pot Bayou or play frisbee at Crescent Park, just a couple miles from home. For older or more relaxed pets, my peaceful home is filled with soft blankets, a comfy couch, and a calm environment where they can truly settle in and feel secure. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness come first. I care for every animal like family, and I’m committed to giving them a loving, reliable home-away-from-home. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine because I already structure my day around being active, present, and at home often. I have a flexible work schedule and live just 5 minutes from my office, which allows me to check in, take walks, give meals on time, and offer attention throughout the day. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like an extra task, it’s just something I genuinely enjoy and build my day around. At my home, I offer a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with regular walks, playtime, and attention. In clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep the pet comfortable and stress-free. I always prioritize safety, communication, and consistency.
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of and lived with dogs before as well. I am also open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I am located on St Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I am currently in school and work part time. I don’t mind dropping in or going on walks on days I work as well! I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on them!
About: I grew up in a family of dog lovers raising Pugs, and I’ve since had an English Bulldog and now a Frenchie of my own. I have a special place in my heart for smush-faced breeds and understand their unique personalities and needs, but all pups are welcome! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and will make sure yours feels safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my care. I work from home during the week, which means your pup won’t spend the day alone while staying with me. I have a large backyard for play and plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, and attention throughout the day. My dog loves to spend the day napping in my bed. He’s pretty docile and lazy during the day when he wants to be. However he will always play host and entertain guests to fit their needs. I have a large backyard where they can roam and play.
“Very happy with Tiantian, and so is my dog! It’s easy to see that’s she has a connection with animals and enjoys them. I highly recommend her and will use her again next time I visit St. Pete Beach.”

About: I've had dogs in my family my entire life and have lots of experience with both puppies and senior dogs. From fostering kittens to helping my 16 year old dog live a happy life, I've got you covered. I am currently a student at a local flight school and have a flexible schedule. I'll be able to stay over to care for your pets on both weekdays and weekends, with minimal time out of the house. I take special care to follow any instructions you may leave for me.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulfport
Dan has been incredibly kind and patient with our pitty, who can be wary of strangers. He respects our dog’s boundaries and takes the time to listen when we explain his triggers and needs. Dan is also accommodating and quick to respond! We look forward to booking with him whenever we go out of town. Highly recommend!
Dylan is fantastic! He took our energetic Honey out for an hour walk everyday for 2 weeks, sometimes even to the beach! Honey looked forward to her new friend everyday and came back happy and tired. Dylan is communicative, dependable and thoughtful about his approach. Highly recommend!
I can't recommend Chloe enough. She's new to walking Simba, but she already went above and beyond — I forgot to schedule her for a day I was working, and she made time to fit Simba in anyway, even though it wasn't planned. That kind of reliability and care means everything, especially with a new walker. So glad I found her on Rover — Simba's in great hands."
Great experience! She took great care of my dog and was very considerate throughout the walk. I especially appreciated that she checked with me to make sure my dog was comfortable walking the full 30 minutes rather than just assuming. Would definitely recommend her!
Devin & Kylie were great. Our older dog who can’t hear, can’t see very well and usually doesn’t like strangers did really well with Devin &Kylie. They took Precious for 3 walks per day and fed her AM and PM. I was really apprehensive at first but would recommend them and use Devin & Kylie again.
Michael was honestly amazing, I contacted him a little bit last minute due to a work trip but he happily accepted and made time to come see the dogs beforehand and they loved him from the start. They aren’t small dogs, and he had zero problem handling either one and dealing with the them. He was so awesome with updates and photos throughout the whole week it helped me feel so relaxed and at ease. The pups looked incredibly happy in every photo and in every walk and gave them everything they needed from a food and supplement stand point which was really awesome. I really appreciated everything Michael did for us he was a rock star!
I’m so glad we found such an incredible dog sitter! Our pup was clearly spoiled and living his best life while we were away. The daily updates meant so much and gave us total peace of mind. Mia truly went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gulfport. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.

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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
