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. I’m able to accommodate different schedules and love having pets around for extra company! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions their owner provides. During drop-ins and house sitting, I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and are comfortable and happy. For dogs, I’m happy to take them on walks and give them the exercise they need. I’ll also keep their space clean. I treat every pet like my own and will always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. 🤍
“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!”
“This was our first time using rover and so happy with Marlene. She kept us informed each day with pictures and left a real sweet note of our pets daily activities. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend.”
“Alexis accepted our request short notice and gave us so much comfort in knowing our little one was taken care of. She came over next day for meet and greet. She sent photo and text updates with our pup. We felt very secure and safe having her in our home, taking care of Myla.”
“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!”
“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!”
“My cats said they like this nanny! We just adopted a new cat and we didn't feel it was safe yet to leave them alone so we called on Reanna to babysit so we could go out for the evening. Nice to know she's close by when we're ready to do some real traveling!”
“Savannah helped us out with a last minute request and took great care of our kitties and our house. She’s very friendly and followed my many instructions without any issues. Great communication and sent cute photos of our cats! Even our scaredy cat warmed up to her quickly. We arrived home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home. Thank you so much!”
“We had such a great experience! Elise stayed in our home with Bones while we were on vacation and took wonderful care of her. Bones can be pretty shy and nervous with new people, but she was so patient with her and completely won her over. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bones was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. She also kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely trust her to watch Bones again and highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“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!”
“My fear aggressive Great Dane warmed up to Benjamin quickly. She usually doesn’t eat for the first few days I board her, but she ate right away for Benjamin. Benjamin house sat overnight to see how my Great Dane would do compared to boarding, and she did great. Benjamin kept us nervous pet parents posted on how our Great Dane was doing. It was a pleasure working with Benjamin and I highly recommend him.”
“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. ?????”
“Blaize was fantastic with our very needy and messy dog. She was timely, sent plenty of videos of our dog while we were away, and was willing to come meet us and our dog prior to her watching of our dog! Would highly recommend!”
“Brittany is wonderful! She was very communicative and sent updates/pictures daily. She also responded very quickly. She followed instructions perfectly, and I came home to two very happy dogs! Will definitely book again!”
“Alyssa was amazing with our 2 year old frenchtons . She stayed at our home and sent us a lot of videos and photos. She played and snuggled with them and gave them lots of love. I highly recommend Alyssa. She really cared and that goes a long way for us.”
About: Many dogs are drawn to me-they sense my calm, attentive energy. It’s not just about keeping them company; I enjoy connecting with them on a deeper level. I like to incorporate training into our time together if I can, whether it’s reinforcing good behaviors or teaching fun new tricks. It keeps their minds active and builds trust between us. I am delighted to house sit for your pets, but I too, have a dog that would need to attend. She is a very well behaved 22 pounds 6 year Klee-Kai Aussie mix. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day. We’re surrounded by several dog parks and have plenty of space for walks and sniffing adventures. If your pet enjoys sunshine and fresh air, they may love lounging on my fenced patio. It’s secure, cozy, and fully visible from where I work, so I can always keep an eye on them. I have a medium crate and a gate available for a safe designated space if needed. A secure tie-out on the patio can be set up if extra precautions are necessary to prevent fence jumping.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saint Pete Beach is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Pete Beach
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!
Savannah helped us out with a last minute request and took great care of our kitties and our house. She’s very friendly and followed my many instructions without any issues. Great communication and sent cute photos of our cats! Even our scaredy cat warmed up to her quickly. We arrived home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home. Thank you so much!

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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 3,648 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Pete Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
