“5 stars -- my pups came home so balanced and happy. It was clear that Brittany and Stephen took special care of my pups, giving them all the love they needed to thrive while they were in their care. Brittany sent daily pictures, which warmed my heart. So happy to have found them!!!”
“I couldn't sing higher praises of Rachel! Rachel's about me is exactly who Rachel is. A respectful, humble, and down to earth person with a deep reverence for animals and their pet parents. I had to go out of town on a family emergency, and Rachel generously accommodated me into her schedule. This is the first time that I have ever left my fur child outside of family Care, so I was naturally nervous. At the meet and greet I was instantly put at ease and the environment she creates for the pets she watches is exactly the way that I would keep my house. I felt put at ease talking to Rachel and had full confidence leaving my dog with her. Rachel's neighbors even had high praises of Rachel of how kind she is, and how much she loves animals! She took great care of my fur child, and even spoiled her more than I do! Daily walks, play time, letting my dog pick her favorite spot to take her daily naps, giving her allergy medicine and a lot of love! She went absolutely above and beyond my expectations. My dog got in the car and decided Thank you so much Rachel, not only for loving my fur baby as much as I do, but also for taking a part of the stress of this trip away! You are my definite go to for watching my dog, and my dog has her new favorite friend!”
“Tracy was amazing with Riggs and I felt so comfortable being away for work knowing that my boy was being well taken care of. She thoroughly reviewed all the notes I left her.”
“The reason why I give Linda a 5 star rating is because of these five main things: 1. The initial introduction and meeting with me and my dog at her home was extremely pleasant. Also, drop off and pick up was smooth. 2. Her home and area she lives in is very clean, quiet, and dog friendly. 3. Linda clearly has tons of pet care experience and loves pets. For example, she slept with our dog all night. 4. Our dog is older and needs special food and medicine, and Linda easily handled that. 5. Linda would send pictures often so we could see what our dog is doing. Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Linda and will continue to book with her.”
“I wish I could give 10 stars! From the first time I messaged Susan, she was very friendly and willing to work with our schedules to do a meet and greet, and she agreed to care for both our pups (one senior and one with anxiety), while only meeting one of them during the meet and greet. During our boys’ weeklong stay with Susan, we got daily updates with pics, which gave us so much peace of mind because we knew our boys were getting so greatly cared for while we were away, and they got plenty of walks and attention, since Susan only takes one pup or family at a time. One of our pups ended up getting an upset stomach on the bed of the other pup, and Susan went above and beyond in dealing with this situation, even going as far as washing the bed so it was clean for us when we arrived to pick them up. It can be hard to leave your furry babies with someone you just met, but we got the most amazing and calm energy from Susan from the first time we met, even our anxious boy went up to her to get scratches (which has NOT happened before with anyone), and we just knew this was going to be someone who would really take care of both pups. 10000% recommended, and we will most definitely be rebooking for future travels! A million thanks, Ms. Susan!! ☺️”
“We love Jackie! Jackie is professional, very communicative and incredibly flexible. We could tell London had a wonderful time from the daily videos and photos. Jackie truly made London’s stay a home away from home. Asked all the right questions beforehand and followed through on every single one of London’s special needs. I would highly recommend Jackie!”
“This was our first time to use Rover and we were nervous about leaving our senior dog with someone new but once we met Cathy and introduced her to Baby, we knew he would love his stay with her! Cathy is a very caring individual who asked lots of questions so she could understand how to best care for Baby. Being that he’s a senior dog, this was important to us. She sent pictures and updates the entire week and Baby seemed to feel right at home. We would highly recommend Cathy and plan to ask her to pet sit for us again in the future!”
“Susan took good care of Tooey during a recent 6 day period. She is a patient sitter and clearly loves dogs. Tooey was in good hands with her and her daughter. Tooey also had the company of Susan’s dog Abner, which I’m sure helped her feel more comfortable during her stay.”
“Armando was a stellar sitter and took excellent care of our pup! She is high energy and requires a lot of attention and Armando made sure she was well taken care of. I would strongly recommend his services!”
“Baxter our border terrier had the most wonderful stay with Pam and Alfy. He was rather disappointed to come home! It was so reassuring to go away and leave him with somebody knowledgeable about terriers who made him feel so at home . It was also lovely to receive regular updates on how he was settling so we had complete peace of mind to enjoy our vacation. Thank you so much!”
“Kristin was great. I am so thankful for her flexibility as we needed last minute boarding. Comanche cat did well and I appreciate her caring for him. Would recommend!”
“Susan did a nice job taking care of my dog Lewey. She gave me daily feedback with a pic. Lewey seemed well cared for and was relaxed when he got home from his stay. I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I've had a pet in the house since childhood. Dogs, cats, birds, fish. However, dogs have always been there. I've had many occasions to petsit for friends, family and my neighbors. I'll treat your dog as my own. I am a retired firefighter (pet first aid training) and at home most of the day with exception of errands, gym, shopping and other typical day activities. Your pet will get plenty of attention and playtime inside and out. My backyard is totally fenced in, so it's safe and secure. I make sure not to have any toxic plants in the house or in the yard. I only use pet-safe products for lawn and garden. I have one dog, an 11 year old Goldendoodle that loves other dogs, large and small. I've had a pet in my home most of my life.
“This is was my first time using a sitter for my puppy and Cynthia was amazing! She sent me photos, reassured me, and treated my tsuki like she was part of the family. I will definitely be requesting her again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Saint Pete Beach is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Pete Beach
We had a wonderful experience with Jackie! She was caring, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. We especially appreciated how many updates and photos she sent each day, which gave us peace of mind and made it easy to see that our pup was in great hands. It was clear she genuinely cared, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
We're so grateful to have found Jennifer! She has a great space for the puppies and she lets our Honey snuggle with her on couches and beds, which makes her feel right at home. Honey always looks like she's having a great time in the pictures, and she comes home happy and tuckered out.
We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care Liz provided for our sweet fur baby, Pepper! From start to finish, Liz was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive. Her communication was fantastic, and we loved receiving regular updates and adorable pictures throughout Pepper’s stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pepper was in such loving and capable hands while we were away. We’re so grateful to have found Liz and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Pepper gives Liz two paws up! 🐾❤️
Michelle was awesome! She was very attentive to Slater, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and had everything he needed while we were away. I loved getting her daily updates and knowing our dog was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pup!
Claire was amazing! She sent regular photo updates and detailed notes throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kona was happy and relaxed I picked him up. I’m glad he had another dog to play with. I will definitely book with Claire again!
Kylee was amazing. My dog can be timid and have separation anxiety when she's away from me, but Kylee gave her the best vacation. She kept us updated and communication was great. Our dog had a great time with her and absolutely adored her. I highly Kylee for your dog sitter. We I'll definitely use her again - thank you!
Savannah graciously watched after my two pups on short notice when a last minute work trip came up. I was a little nervous as they can be a bit rambunctious, but she was phenomenal with them. She provided daily updates with lots photos (and the cutest videos) which put my mind at ease. My pups had a blast and were so well cared for. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of my boys! It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous. But Jane send me pictures and updates on the boys while I was away and was very sweet and kind. I highly recommend and would trust her with my babies again!
Amy was a great sitter for our dog, Theo, while we were away on vacation! She was easy to work with, sent great photos and updates, and even bought Theo a ball that she sent him home with. He has played with that ball daily! Her dog and Theo got along well too. We will definitely consider her again for our future needs. We're happy to have found her!
We once again had an amazing experience with Leslie for Pepper! She was so well cared for, happy, and clearly loved the entire time. The updates and photos gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful and will definitely book again—highly recommend! 🐾

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Saint Pete Beach can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Pete Beach home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saint Pete Beach.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Saint Pete Beach sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
