“Alexis was prompt and followed all of my instructions. She sent photos almost daily and Blake looked comfortable and happy. I think he warmed up to her right away which is a great thing. She was neat and tidy and left my house just the way it was when we left. I would have her come back again if we need someone to watch him again.”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life, but love animals in general. I have a special bond with animals, and sometimes feel I understand them better than humans, lol. I am also an active person and love going on walks/hikes with my canine friends. Extra bonus: I am a groomers well, baths,nails trim, partial grooming, and full grooming. I can be somewhat flexible with my schedule, which allows me to work with yours. Let's work together to ensure that your babies are well cared for in your absence! It's one thing to have someone feed and walk your pet/s, but quite another to have someone genuinely care for them. I'm that person...look forward to working with you.

“Marlene was great with my boys. Very loving and caring. When I came home, they reacted like they do any other day, so I felt great knowing they didn't really miss me because of the care they received.”
About: I own 2 cats myself and have taken care of/lived with a large dog before (German shepherd). I have more experience with cats but have taken care of multiple types of dogs. I am open to animals that may have some disabilities as well. I have experience taking care of blind dogs/senior dogs! I am located on st Pete beach but am open to the surrounding Tampa Bay Area. I work full time but it is a late/evening shift so I can be available during the day as well as nights after work. I like to care for pets based on the how the owners would like them to be cared for. I would appreciate some instruction and background on pets so I can understand them better.
“My (pretty shy) dog and cat love Zlata, and that feels so good! I really appreciate the thorough updates and amazing pics of their time together! We would love to use Zlata again for our future trips”
“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!”
“Reanna is excellent. We have three dogs each with something that makes them special. We have an 80 pound pitbull with leash reactivity, a nearly 14 year old senior pit mix whose age is definitely showing but he’s still a sweetheart, and a beagle (enough said). Needless to say we’re very cautious with choosing a dog sitter and Reanna took wonderful care of our three pups, including house sitting, walking all three individually, and giving pills. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
About: Having pets for over 25 years, and having done a lot of pet sitting for others, has taught me what unconditional love is. I am committed to understanding what each individual pet needs and wants and I tailor my attention to every pet accordingly. Long walks for dogs ✅ shorter walks ✅ playtime ✅ lots of cuddles ✅ no cuddles, no problem ✅ I am here to care for animals the way they like, as it is all about them. I always walk the dogs at their pace and they can stop and sniff as much as they want ❤️ Working for myself, and two days part-time outside my home, offers ample time to care for your pet, whether in your home or mine. I have a big yard for your puppers to play and take long walks everyday...I would love to have your dog along on my neighborhood treks. I also like to load them up in the truck and drive to new, unexplored parts of town...new sights and sounds and smells to keep our awareness sharp.
“Jolie watched our pets and house when we went on vacation, it was a seamless experience! She left the house spotless, and most importantly, our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned. Our dog is quite anxious and he’s usually extra clingy when we leave him, but not this time! Jolie’s secret to keeping him happy was to make sure he got lots of exercise in the form of extra long walks. She’s a clear communicator, and is responsible and flexible. We feel lucky to have found her!”
“This is my second time using Alyssa to watch my young rescue dog Jed. He's a handful and she is the dog whisperer!! She brings along blankets, helps train him, always is on time and communicates regularly. I'll use Alyssa anytime!!”

About: I have had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragons, you name it. I am the go-to to call for taking care of your beloved animal. I understand and will fulfill every little preference someone has when I handle their fur baby. What is most important is the animal and owner are happy and comfortable. I am currently studying for the Florida Bar! I just graduated law school in May. I am looking to do something I love and earn a few extra bucks while I am not able to work. I currently just have my 3 guinea pigs because my dog passed away last year and I miss being around them. I live in an area that has sidewalks and people constantly walk there dogs because it’s a safe environment. My apartment has a fenced in grassy area that I can utilize either trying to find the dog a playmate or making sure he’s separate if needed.
“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.”
“Alice may be the best pet sitter I've ever had! My cats warmed up to her immediately. She brought them toys! She sent pictures and videos every day to keep me updated. She left my condo cleaner than I left it! Alice definitely went above and beyond to care for my pets and my home. I would certainly recommend her and would use her again.”
“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.”
“Amy was fantastic watching Winry! She was super communicative, sent photos, and made sure to keep us informed about anything going on (all good stuff). I look forward to using Amy in the future and I encourage you to as well!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Pete Beach
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!
Niko and Willow were so happy with Aimee during her first visit we had her back! Aimee took excellent care of the two dogs and the house they allow me to live in. Aimee has proven herself to be 100% reliable in regards to caring for the dogs and we will absolutely have her back. She’s quickly becoming our most reliable and trusted sitter.
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!
With Yasmine taking of my furry friends I was able to enjoy my visit with my daughter. She provided pictures and updates on all the activities they completed together. I would definitely use her again. Thanks Yasmine for the excellently care you gave to Grayson and Sasha

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.

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.
