“Alexis was timely, clean, and took our request short notice. We did not have to worry about the care of Myla and feel very comfortable with Alexis being in our home and taking care of our pup.”
“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!”
“Marlene is a treasure-my beagle is a nervous guy and she was so wonderful and patient with him. It was such a relief to know a truly kind, loving experienced person with him since I knew he was going to be a wreck when I left for a few days. Beyond that she was, professional, thoughtful, responsive, sent wonderful pictures etc. I would rate her a 1000 stars if I could :)”
“Cara took good care of our dogs, Bryson and Luna, while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were being looked after in their own home. We appreciated her help and were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were safe. Thank you, Cara!”
“Reanna is amazing!! You can tell she really cares for animals and will do anything for yours while you’re away. She asked numerous questions about our animals, sent us pictures and videos while we were gone and updated us constantly, and even handled an unexpected hardship we had with our dog with empathy and kindness. Thank you so much, Reanna!”
“TT is an amazing human. She is already part of the family. Trustworthy & Honest. Will be rebooking her for our next trip and she'll be assisting with visits with new puppy!”
“Kelli went above and beyond while watching our dog, Kahlua. She was attentive and on top of everything and really made us feel comfortable while being away for a few days! From the pics and updates, we could see Kahlua had a blast too!”
“Alexa was just phenomenal with my senior husky! She was communicative and sent picture updates. Def recommend to other dog parents out there, especially with older dogs!”
“Alyssa is always awesome! She takes excellent care of my sweet but somewhat hard to handle 2 year old coonhound. She's always responsive, communicative, and even works with him for some trianing. I will use Alyssa whenever she's available!”
“Blaize was awesome with our 3 cats! She stayed with them for 5 days and provided us with lots of updates and pictures which we loved. She seemed to take great care of them, they were all happy when we got home, and I think our place may have even been cleaner than when we left! Would definitely recommend her to anyone :)”
“Jennifer was amazing with my giant puppy Monty. She was able to get him very comfortable on her first day with him. She was also super flexible when our flight was cancelled last minute and she had to stay an extra night with Monty. Would definitely recommender her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Caitlin was wonderful with our fur baby!! She kept us updated through out our entire trip with pictures and videos. She was on time and very professional. She will be our go to girl for all future trips. I would highly recommend Caitlin for any family or friends in the area!”
“This is the second time we've booked Benjamin to take care of our dog Riley. Riley loves spending time with Benjamin and Benjamin takes great care of Riley while we're away. We very much appreciate the time and care shown to Riley.”
“Elise stayed @ my home with my Callie girl for 5 days & did an outstanding job!! She checked in sending pictures several times throughout the days & let me know what they were doing. I trusted her completely in my home. Very nice young lady & will recommend her to anyone to dog sit their fur babies”
“Anna did an outstanding job house sitting and taking care of my dog, Apollo. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with animals. Apollo can be a bit particular, but Anna handled everything with patience and care—it was obvious he was comfortable and well looked after. She kept the house in great shape, followed all instructions, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your home and your dog, but Anna made it effortless. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful house sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saint Pete Beach is $50

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.

Aimee is amazing!! She was so great with my Shih Tzu, Bailey!! She was so accommodating. My trip was last minute and unexpectedly had to be extended an extra day and she was wonderful about it! Bailey is scared of storms and unfortunately there was some bad weather while I was away. She made sure he was comfortable, calm, and safe. She sent regular updates and adorable pics of Bailey! She took excellent care of my plants and my house in addition to my little guy! I already have her booked for another stay in September. I highly recommend her!
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!
I had a wonderful experience with Anna! She took great care of my older dog, Holden, and my home while I was away. She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind. It was clear she was kind, patient, and genuinely sweet with Holden. I came home to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. I would definitely book with her again!
Reanna was wonderful! My dog and my cat loved her and she took wonderful care of them and my house while I was away. I am a very new dog owner so I felt reassured by all the photos she sent and the frequent updates while I was away, it was good to know they were in good hands!
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!
We 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 high-anxiety 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!
We absolutely love Shannon, and more importantly, so does our dog, Gus. We struggled for many years trying to find a good option for Gus when we go on vacation. We had a few bad experiences with local kennels, so we stopped using them. We finally found Shannon last summer and she has been everything we hoped for. She's courteous and conscientious, respectful of our home, and treats Gus as if he were her own dog. Shannon is great about sending us thorough daily updates and pictures so we don't have to worry about our boy. We highly recommend Shanon!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Pete Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Pete Beach on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,687 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Pete Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
