About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life, so they have always just been a part of the family. I recently adopted my sweet perfect angel kitty Lola and helped my old roomates out with their cats so I love them as well. I am a law student so I have 2-3 hour classes periodically throughout the week. I also volunteer as a Guardian Ad Litem and with gulf coast legal services so sometimes I have those obligations as well. I will not bring pets into my home but can definitely visit yours and your fur baby as needed! I look forward to meeting you and your fur child
“Kristen did an excellent job! We have two cats that she checked in on for us over Christmas. One is very shy but Kristen was able to get him to warm up and interact. Overall wonderful care!”
“We enjoyed Jim taking care of our fur babies. He was on scheduled and treated them as if they were his own. They love him and we will definitely utilize Jim's services again.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life and absolutely love being around animals! I’ve trained multiple dogs over the years, and I’ve even attempted to train a few cats—but that’s still a work in progress. 😸 I enjoy taking the pups for walks and runs, playing fetch at the dog park and giving them all the love and attention. You can find me playing “Where did the red dot go?” with my feline friends and also giving them all the love and attention. I have experience with drop-in visits and in-home pet sitting. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routes. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending my free time taking care of animals. I enjoy being active and already go on plenty of walks and runs. Adding a dog would just making my walks a lot better! I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeing, walking, playtime, and medication if needed. I’m respectful of your home, and make sure everything in clean and locked up before I leave. I also update you with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and taken care of. 🐶😺

About: I’ve taken care of my senior dogs with health issues who needed lots of patience, love and medication as well as pet sit for my neighbors 2 dogs multiple times a year over the last 10 years. I have grown up with a variety of dogs (English bulldog, chow chow, Pomeranian) and was a regular dog-sitter for my friend’s dogs (dachshund, golden retriever, lab). I love to be outside and go for walks and would love to bring along a dog who needs some outside time. I don’t currently have a dog of my own and miss dogs being a part of my days! I am happy to send picture updates on walks/drop ins :) I work a hybrid work schedule annd wil work from home 2 days per week. I am available for daytime drop ins, before and after work walks as well as weekend walks/drop ins I live in a very dog friendly apartment with a dog park and walking trail access.

About: Hi! I’m currently finishing my certification with CATCH Canine Trainers Academy (positive reinforcement), and I am a soon to be working closely with an experienced trainer. I am good at reading dog body language and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in my home. As a semi-retired teacher, I’m home throughout the day and structure my time around walks, enrichment, play, and rest, so visiting dogs naturally become part of a predictable, low-stress routine. As a semi-retired teacher, I structure my day around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quiet rest periods, so visiting or boarding dogs easily fold into that routine. I’m home throughout the day, which helps me give lots of attention and keep a calm, predictable environment. My home fully fenced with plenty of sectioned off spaces including a small pool for any dog who loves a little structured swim time - calling all Goldens and Labs!! 🤿💦🐟🏊 For dogs who enjoy activity, I offer: *Supervised yard play and enrichment *Optional splash/play time in the pool (weather permitting & always supervised) Snuffle mats, puzzle games, and structured downtime.
“Sydney does an amazing job taking care of my dog Bronsan while I’m at work! He always has a fun time hanging out with her. She does a perfect job showing up on time to his walks and does great communicating with me. Even recently, she protected my dog from an unleashed pitbull attack so I don’t think it gets any better than that. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: My family has always had dogs of various breeds. I have been dogsitting my sister’s black lab for 6 years as well as volunteering with Tampa Bay Strays for their adoption events. I do work and have school during the weeks, however, I am always free in the evenings! I am also free on weekends and holidays! Every animal is different therefore I will follow whatever instructions you set for what you think is best! You know your pet best and I will take great care of your animal!
“Patrick was awesome watching my dog while I was on a work trip. He took so much care to make sure Orville got plenty of exercise and felt comfortable. I will definitely be booking Patrick again.”

My sister/ roommate recently adopted a sweet little angel kitty Lola and I’ve helped my old roommates out with their cats as well!

About: I’ve always loved animals and truly believe pets are family. I have two French Bulldogs of my own, ages 4 and 5, and I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including pet sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, cuddles, and keeping litter boxes clean. I’m patient, attentive, and love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet is playful, cuddly, shy, or a little spoiled, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule and am home most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Pete Beach
Amazing experience!! Skylar is professional and quick to respond. She is attentive and followed all the instructions I left for my dog Wrigley. She also kept me updated while I was away w plenty of photos. I can gone from vacation to a happy and well cared for pup!
Another great drop in visit from Dylan. Thank you so much for always being so flexible and accommodating, within reason, and so so comunitive. We are so glad we get to continue working with you and can't wait until your next visit taking such good care of our girls.
Our 7-year-old American Bulldog has always been a challenge to find care for. Until now, the only person we trusted to watch him was my brother-in-law. Our dog gets protective and anxious when we leave, and because of his size, many people are understandably hesitant to come into our home without us there. Dan went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dog several times before our trip and doing a few trial visits to build trust. His patience, kindness, and calm demeanor made all the difference, and he ended up being the perfect fit for our pup. Knowing we had someone we could truly rely on gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We no longer have to stress about leaving town, and that is priceless. Dan is amazing, and we couldn't recommend him more highly. We can't wait to use his services again in the future!
Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!
I cannot recommend Tessa highly enough! From the moment we first reached out, her responsiveness was exceptional. Appointment requests were always answered within minutes, making scheduling incredibly easy and stress-free. One of our biggest concerns was having someone we could truly trust in our home—and this sitter exceeds all expectations. She respected our space, kept everything tidy, and we always felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable and reliable hands. What truly sets Tessa apart is her remarkable attentiveness to our dog’s special needs. Our aging Weimaraner has a unique diet and medication schedule and some specific behavioral quirks, but Tessa took the time to learn every detail and made sure our dog felt happy and safe. We regularly received thoughtful updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while away. If you’re searching for a quick-to-respond, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter, look no further. Our experience has been nothing short of outstanding!

- 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saint Pete Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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.
