“Marlene was amazing! My dog has separation anxiety and I was nervous leaving her. Marlene took picture updated me frequently about how she was doing. I highly recommend her to love and care for your pet. She is amazing!!!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Paige took care of my pup exactly the way you would want someone to. She’s sincere and genuine. Couldn’t recommend her more. Thanks for being awesome, Paige!”
“Shereen is one of the best dog and home sitters I've ever had! She bonded with my two min pins right away and took excellent care of all their needs. I trust her completely with my home and with my precious ones. So glad I found her.”
“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!”
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. 🐶😺
“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!”
“Alison is a great person to work with, she gave me frequent updates the entire time she was watching my puppy and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would definitely recommend Alison and will hopefully be working with her again in the future.”
About: Throughout my life, I have been fortunate to have dogs as companions, which has instilled in me a deep understanding of animal care. As an ardent animal enthusiast, I have developed a particular fondness for cats, having personally adopted one. When entrusted with the care of others’ animals, I approach my responsibilities with utmost seriousness, treating them with the same compassion and attention I would bestow upon my own. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine. I currently take care of Pets on a part-time basis and have a few regular clients who leave every month for few days to two weeks. In their absence, I take over their pet sitting and housesitting responsibilities. I always enjoy starting the day with a meet-and-greet where I get to meet the parents and the animal. We then go over where all their food is stored. Their favorite spots are often their favorite toys, which are essentially their daily routine. I try to fit myself into that routine as easily as possible to make things easier for both the animal and the parents.
“Malcolm is a fantastic dog sitter! We have two pitties and don’t feel comfortable boarding, so Malcolm stayed at our home for a week with our babies. He put our mind at ease that our dogs were being taken care of and we could trust him. He sent updates and pictures regularly, and came to meet us and the dogs prior to him staying so they’d be comfortable with each other. I highly recommend Malcolm and plan on requesting him again!!”
About: I’ve had dogs and/or cats since I was 4 and was always the one caring for them. I started pet sitting 6 years ago after watching a neighbors pet and realizing how much i enjoyed caring for them. I love walking, feeding and playing with them. On occasion i’ve found myself having to get them cleaned up after a day of fun so bathing isn’t a problem. I’m currently working part time from home and flexible with times. I’m an early riser therefore mornings don’t bother me and depending on distance I can be available in the evening. Currently I have two cats so their fun activities are kept indoors. There’s a cat tree they love to relax on and they both LOVE water so i’ll give them fresh water from the faucet. In clients home I’ll abide by any preferences they have for their pets and play with them non stop.
“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!”
“Shannon was so incredible! She came and pet/house sat for us for nearly 2 weeks while we traveled abroad. She was so professional and prepared leading up to our trip that we instantly felt at ease. While we were away her communication was amazing—sending us pics of the boys and little updates. We were able to completely enjoy our trip and immerse ourselves in the journey knowing that the boys were safe and loved. You can always tell how well your dogs were taken care of by how excited they are to see you when you get home. They were happy to see us but it was clear they weren’t lacking any affection or care while we were away! Our home was just as clean and our pups were just as happy as the day we left—if not more so! Thank you so much, Shannon!”
“Ava was absolutely amazing. She was punctual and very communicative. She was very kind and my fury kids absolutely loved her. Will absolutely be using her again along with recommending her to family and friends in the area. Thank you Ava”
“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!”
“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”
About: Dogs have been part of my life forever! I’m excited to give your furry friend plenty of love, attention, walks, and cuddles while you’re away. I work from home so it offers me the flexibility to care for your pet. As a former dog owner I understand pets need love. I prefer to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I know from experience how much comfort that gives the dogs
“Courtney was amazing, we had a sitter cancel at the last minute and it was Courtney to the rescue! Our kids aren't the kind to make a good first impression (little dog syndrome) but they warmed up to her charm and were perfect angels, or so I'm told ;). The house was in perfect order, appeared cleaner than when we left it, she watered our plants, brought in the mail and we got plenty of furball updates. I would highly recommend Courtney and can't thank her enough for giving us peace of mind whilst we were away.”

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! 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!
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!

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.

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.
