“Marlene was so great with my kitten!!! She followed all of my instructions, kept my house very clean, and sent me the cutest pics and little updates! I would definitely book again. 💚”
“Kelli was absolutely great! She stayed at our house while we were out of town. She took care of our dog and cat. She sent us updates and photos while we were gone. The sheets and towels she used were left clean and folded. She even folded our laundry that we left in the dryer. Our animals and house were well cared for. I highly recommend Kelli!”
“Amanda was excellent and would highly recommend! We were gone for 10 days and she continued to consistently send photos, videos and updates everyday. She was very flexible in adjusting to our dogs needs and took good care of our home.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Caroline who we trusted to stay at our home for nearly a week caring for our 3 pets. We came home to calm dogs, a happy kitty, and a clean house in perfect condition. Such a relief knowing everything was so well cared for while we were away! Communication was easy, and we loved receiving photos and updates while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing the girls were in good hands. Would 100% recommend and happily book again!”
“Could not recommend María enough. She will go above and beyond for you and your pets and treat them like her own. I left my puppy for the first time and María took such good care of him. When I got home he was clean (she had bathed him!), happy, healthy, and had a fat little stomach which means he was eating good while I was gone, which was a huge worry of mine given how small he is. She hand fed him to make sure he ate and was getting enough food in. I am so grateful for her and her kindness towards animals. María is extremely trustworthy, kind, and caring. Please give her the opportunity to care for your furry friends, you will not regret it!!! Thank you so much María for taking care of my baby. If needed, I will absolutely be using her services again.”
“Dylan took excellent care of our pets while we were out of town. We met a couple weeks prior and discussed what was needed. He took time to get to know us and our pets and answered all our questions. He provided updates and pictures each time he came by the house. ?????”
“Kristen is the best! She watched our dog a number of times years ago, and we reached out when we needed someone for a trip out of town. Our dog was so excited to see her again! Great communication, trustworthy and we know that our dog is in the best care with her.”
“Kallie was absolutely incredible, my pup can be a little nervous sometimes & immediately was comfortable with her. She never failed to update me with photos and how the day was going. I will definitely be using her again ♥️”
“Amaya was so amazing!! She took great care of my pup and followed her strict feeding schedule. Bella was very happy to see her! Will definitely use her again if I am going out of town!”
“We booked Zlata at the very last minute and she went above and beyond to help take care of our kitties. One of my cats is a senior cat who needs close supervision because he recently had a seizure. She waa able to stay with him all day and make sure he was OK. She gave us the ultimate peace of mind while we were on vacation. She kept our house clean and tidy, and she sent us lots of pictures and videos, which was really nice. We will definitely book her again in the future! She exceeded our expectations.”
“Brianne was amazing! She was so responsive, giving me tons of updates about my dog Yuki. I can tell that Yuki loved her visit with Brianne and that she treated Yuki with so much love, care, and attention. She really went the extra mile in every way.”
“Natalie did an awesome job with my furry babies Jax and Madison! She stayed in communication with me the entire time and sent pictures of the furry babies as well, I would definitely book with Natalie again!”
“Benjamin is always super communicative and sends lots of updates with pics when he watches our pup. She loves people and company and I know he spends a lot of time with her when he house-sits for us, which is much appreciated! We will definitely continue to use Benjamin for future trips.”
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, I treat every pet in my care with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I have always had pets in my life ever since I was a child, I can't imagine a life without them. My husband and I of 26 years have always had a dog and a cat in our home, our 2 kids grew up with them as well. We are now empty nesters and our recent family dog Tank passed last year at 17 years old. Oh how we miss him! We currently do not have a dog, but do have a cat named Cali. She is 12 yrs old, has her own space and typically does not interact with the dogs. Our son and his fiance have two dogs (Corgi and Golden Retriever) that we have taken care of when needed since they were puppies. Neighbors and friends have also relied on us to watch, check in with, feed, walk and play with their pups and kitties. We have a fenced back yard with pool, our grand pups enjoy the sun shelf to cool off and occasionally jump in. We live close to the Pinellas Trail as well which is great for early morning and evening walks. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and lots of cuddles! My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you are away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets to learn more about how I can help. I recently retired from my full time job of 30 years, looking to stay active while enjoying my love for animals by caring for pets. I live in a home with a fenced back yard. I'm happy to follow your pet's usual routine, making them feel safe and loved.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Pete Beach
I had Lacy watch my pup overnight for 5 days and she did such an amazing job! My dog is very particular with people and she loved her. She sent me lots of updates with pictures and left my house super clean. Even washed my sheets and towels before leaving! I felt really safe leaving my dog alone with her and she’s going to be my go to sitter from now on :)
Ali was wonderful! She came to our home prior to her first booking so she could meet our dog and they could both be comfortable. I was able to show her around and tell her more about some of his special needs. Ali was right on time, sent great pics so we knew he was happy and provided him the exact care he needed. I could tell when she visited that she was good at listening to his cues and learned quickly his likes and dislikes. We are so happy to have found her!
We had a wonderful experience with Caroline who we trusted to stay at our home for nearly a week caring for our 3 pets. We came home to calm dogs, a happy kitty, and a clean house in perfect condition. Such a relief knowing everything was so well cared for while we were away!

Jane was EXCELLENT!! She went above and beyond to make sure she and Tally got along before committing to house sitting with her, provided regular updates throughout the weekend, and then stayed past her scheduled time until we arrived home after Tally got into something in the backyard and wasn't feeling well. We will definitely be using Jane again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!!
We had an excellent experience with Shannon! She stayed in our home and cared for our dogs for five nights. Although she was a new sitter for us, she immediately made us feel comfortable with how thorough and detail-oriented she was throughout the process of getting to know us, our home, and the dogs. Her communication was excellent, and she was wonderful with both of them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and would highly recommend her!
Lisa was so wonderful with our 16 year old pups. Our Goldendoodle has hip and weak back legs needing help getting up, a special hip brace for walks and overall extra care. She was so loving with her and aware when a storm was approaching to put her thunder vest on. I just can’t say enough good things about her. Thanks Lisa for loving our fur babies as much as we do!
I've never used a dog sitter before, so I was initially hesitant of hiring anyone I didn't know to come to my home and watch my dogs while I was away. Maria did a fantastic job watching my two bigger dogs and left my home the same way it was when I left. She asked questions to ensure she could provide the best care for them, showed up on time, and sent us updates every day. I would definitely use her again if needed. I would highly recommend her if you need your dogs to be watched!
This was our first time using Rover and we were so impressed with Julia’s exemplary service. We were camping at Fort DeSoto and needed someone to check in on our Yorkshire Terrier while we took the ferry to Egmont Key. She took great care of him and provided lots of updates. I highly recommend booking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Pete Beach is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $97 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saint Pete Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saint Pete Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
